Objective:To explore the prognostic factors of patients with Vibrio vulnificus sepsis. Methods:The clinical data of 67 patients with Vibrio vulnificus sepsis from January 2008 to December 2019 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate analysis was used to compare the differences in general information, clinical manifestations, admission laboratory indicators, antibiotics and surgery between the death group and the cured group. Then the factors with significant difference in univariate analysis were included in multivariate analysis, and the factors of prognosis were obtained. Results:Univariate analysis showed that there were significant difference in liver disease, admission with hypotension shock, multiple limb injuries; admission leukocytes, platelets, pH value, albumin, lactic acid, aspartate aminotransferase, creatinine, procalcitonin, creatine kinase, activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time between the death group and the cured group (all P <0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that admission lactate ( OR=0.628, 95% CI: 0.461-0.855, P=0.003), albumin ( OR=1.330, 95% CI:1.062-1.667, P=0.013), creatine kinase ( OR=0.999, 95% CI: 0.998-1.000, P=0.016) and admission surgery time ( OR=0.118, 95% CI: 0.015-0.938, P=0.043) were risk factors of the prognosis. Patients with high lactate, creatine kinase and low albumin at admission indicate poor prognosis; patients with admission surgery time≤ 12 h have better prognosis. Conclusion:For the treatment of patients with Vibrio vulnificus sepsis, medical staff should dynamically evaluate these prognostic factors in the early stage, and early surgical treatment should be adopted to improve the prognosis of patients.

Objective:To investigate the status and influencing factors of health-promoting lifestyle in young and middle-aged people with high normal blood pressure, so as to provide the basis for primary prevention about hypertension.Methods:From July to December 2020, a convenience sampling method was used to select 280 cases of young and middle-aged people with high normal blood pressure in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were investigated by self-administered general information questionnaire,and Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile Ⅱ(HPLP-Ⅱ).Results:The HPLP-Ⅱ total score in the young and middle-aged with high normal blood pressure was 146.79 ± 29.57. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that different occupation,income, family history of hypertension and learning-willingness were the influencing factors of their health-promoting lifestyle( P<0.05). Conclusions:The health-promoting lifestyle among the young and middle-aged with high normal blood pressure is at a medium level, health care providers should strengthen guidance to improve their health-promoting lifestyle through health education and other ways for individuals without stable employment, poor income level, no family history of hypertension and lack in willingness to learn.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most important histological type of lung cancer. This disease affects a large number of patients, and the prognosis of advanced patients is poor. Although great progress has been achieved for existing treatment methods, challenges still exist. Cancer is a genetic disease, and its occurrence is accompanied by substantial genomic-sequence instability. (GT/CA)_n repeat sequence is a common microsatellite sequence serving as transcriptional function-related regions, DNA-methylation modification sites, and other functional sites. Its polymorphism is closely related to the expression of EGFR, HO-1, and HIF-1α in NSCLC patients. (GT/CA)_n repeat sequence is the breakthrough point to explore the molecular mechanism of NSCLC occurrence and development, develop molecular markers for diagnosis and prognosis and epigenetics research. This paper summarizes the studies on (GT/CA)_n repeat polymorphisms in NSCLC with the aim of providing references for relevant NSCLC research.

Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that seriously endangers women's lives. The prognosis of breast cancer patients differs among molecular types. Compared with other subtypes, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has been a research hotspot in recent years because of its high degree of malignancy, strong invasiveness, rapid progression, easy of recurrence, distant metastasis, poor prognosis, and high mortality. Many studies have found that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays an important role in the occurrence, proliferation, migration, recurrence, chemotherapy resistance, and other characteristics of TNBC. Some lncRNAs are expected to become biomarkers in the diagnosis and prognosis of TNBC, and even new targets for its treatment. Based on a PubMed literature search, this review summarizes the progress in research on lncRNAs in TNBC and discusses their roles in TNBC diagnosis, prognosis, and chemotherapy with the hope of providing help for future research.

Sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) are the first station of lymph nodes that extend from the breast tumor to the axillary lymphatic drainage. The pathological status of these LNs can predict that of the entire axillary lymph node. Therefore, the accurate identification of SLNs is necessary for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) to replace axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). The quality of life and prognosis of breast cancer patients are related to proper surgical treatment after the precise identification of SLNs. Some of the SLN tracers that have been identified include radioisotope, nano-carbon, indocyanine green (ICG), and methylene blue (MB). However, these tracers have certain limitations, such as pigmentation, radiation dangers, and the requirement for costly detection equipment. Ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) have good specificity and sensitivity, and thus can compensate for some shortcomings of the mentioned tracers. This technique is also being applied to SLNB in patients with breast cancer, and can even provide an initial judgment on SLN status. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has the advantages of high distinguishability, simple operation, no radiation harm, low cost, and accurate localization; therefore, it is expected to replace the traditional biopsy methods. In addition, it can significantly enhance the accuracy of SLN localization and shorten the operation time.

With human placed in the whole nature, by following the biologic evolution path, the property of channel structure for "imprinting template" in meridian andwas explored with supramolecular chemistry. In the history of biologic evolution, each molecule in "molecule society" gradually developed into various highly-ordered supramolecular bodies based on self-identification, self-assembly, self-organization, self-replicating of"imprinting template", and thereby the original biochemical system was established, and finally evolved into human. In the forming process of supramolecular bodies, the channel structure of"imprinting template" in guest supramolecular bodies would be kept by host supramolecular bodies, and communicate with the outside to exchange materials, energy, information, otherwise life phenomenon could not continue, for which it was the chemical nature of biolo-gical supramolecular bodies for body to develop meridian. Therefore, the human was a gigantic and complicated supramolecules body in biological nature, and possessed the supramolecules "imprinting template" at each stage of evolution, for which the meridians were formed. When meridians converged, acupoints appeared; when acupointsconverged,appeared. With the promotion of the blood from heart, according to"imprinting template", the guest supramolecular bodies and host meridian produced-analysis, which was the-phenomenon of guest in meridian. It presented asimage of physiology and pathology as well as action regularities of medication and acupuncture tolerance, by which current various meridian viewpoints could be explained and propose the hypothesis of meridian supramolecular bodies. The meridian and its phenomenon was decide by its "imprinting template" of supramolecular bodies and self-reaction regularities, which abided through the living nature. This was the substance for meridian biology.

Using China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, and PubMed database, literature search was conducted with the keywords ^“pregnancy^” and ^“monkeypox^”, and 27 related research articles were selected for analysis. Through a comprehensive review of the related literature, we aim to improve our knowledge of this viral disease, better our prevention, treatment and responses to future monkeypox outbreaks in China, so as to better protect the safety of mothers and infants. Maternal monkeypox can be prevented and controlled, if active and effective measures are taken in time. Drawing on the experience and lessons from monkeypox outbreaks at home and abroad, it is suggested that hospitals and public health agencies at all levels should raise awareness, and establish an effective emergency preparedness system for the prevention and control of potential future outbreaks.
