Objective To investigate the effect of two different injection durations and four local pressing durations on the incidence of subcutaneous hemorrhage after low molecular weight heparin, and find a optimum injection duration and pressing time to reduce the incidence of subcutaneous hemorrhage associated with subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin. Methods 80 patients, who were deep venous thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and undergone inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) after the operation and received low molecular weight heparin (LWMH) for eight times were selected. The injection time and pressing duration after the injection were randomized into 30 s and 2 min, 30 s and 6 min, 30 s and 10 min, 30s and 14 min, 10s and 2 min, 10s and 6 min, 10 s and 10 min, 10 s and 14 min respectively. The incidence of subcutaneous hemorrhage were measured after 12 h. Single and multiple factor logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Results The injection time and pressing duration after the injection were randomized into 30 s and 2 min, 30 s and 6 min, 30 s and 10 min, 30 s and 14 min, 10 s and 2 min, 10 s and 6 min, 10 s and 10 min, 10 s and 14 min respectively. The results of the incidence rate of subcutaneous hemorrhage were 46.25% (37/80), 22.50% (18/80), 23.75% (19/80), 25.00% (20/80), 71.25% (57/80), 43.75% (35/80), 50.00% (40/80), 50.00% (40/80) respectively. By the single factor test, the results showed that pressing duration and injection duration are associated with the incidence of subcutaneous hemorrhage after low molecular weight heparin. With regard to the incidence of subcutaneous hemorrhage, there was significantly difference between 2 min group and the other 3 groups (P<0.01), while other adjacent groups had no significant differences (P>0.05). By multiple factors logistic regression analysis, it was revealed that pressing duration and injection duration were significant factors (P<0.01), but the interaction term of pressing duration and injection duration had no significant. It was also revealed that the effect of injection duration was better than pressing duration (|b'(injection duration)|=|-1.8890|>|b'(pres ing duration)|=|-1.0729|). Compared with inject 10 s, there was a significantly lower incidence of bruising in inject 30 s. There was a significantly lower incidence of bruising in the longer pressing duration (b<0). By multiple factors logistic regression analysis, it was also revealed that pressing duration and injection duration were significant factors regardless of the interaction term of pressing duration and injection duration (P<0.01). The effect of injection duration was better than pressing duration (|b'(injection duration)|>|b'(pres ing duration)|). Compared with inject 10 s, there was a significantly lower incidence of bruising in inject 30 s (b<0). there was significantly difference between 2min group and the other 3 groups (P<0.01), while other adjacent groups had no significant differences. Compared with others, there was a significantly high incidence of bruising in pressing 2min and the pressing duration for at least 6 min. Conclusions It is suggested that inject 30 s with pressing for 6 min can effectively reduce the incidence of subcutaneous hemorrhage resulted from subcutaneous injection of LMWH.

BACKGROUND:Liposomes as a new drug delivery system are characterized by few adverse reactions, no immunogenicity and biodegradation. Furthermore, methotrexate-loaded liposomes can significantly reduce drug toxicity and improve anti-tumor effect. OBJECTIVE:To prepare long-circulating methotrexate-loaded liposomes and to evaluate its antitumor activity in MG-63 in vitro. METHODS:The methotrexate-loaded liposomes were prepared using the film dispersion method, and the long-circulating ones were prepared using the post-insertion method. The initial concentrations of methotrexate were 9.1, 1.82, 0.364 g/L. The ultracentrifugation method and spin column method with Sephadex G-10 or G-50 as packing were employed to separate free drugs from the methotrexate-loaded liposomes. Their recovery, size, morphology, encapsulation efficiency and drug-to-lipid ratio were evaluated. The cytotoxity of the long-circulating methotrexate-loaded liposomes purified with ultracentrifugation method and spin column G-50 method under three dose levels (0, 1, 5, 25 mg/L) were determined by MTS method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:According to the recovery rates of three methods, the spin column G-50 method was considered as optimal for the long-circulating methotrexate-loaded liposomes. The long-circulating liposomes were spherical or el ipsoidal under transmission electron microscope, about 200 nm in size. At the certain initial concentration of methotrexate, the encapsulation efficiency and drug-to-lipid ratio of the liposomes purified using the spin column G-50 method were remarkably higher than those purified using the other two methods. At the same mass concentration, the cytotoxity of the liposomes purified with ultracentrifugation or spin column G-50 was significantly higher than that of free methotrexate, and furthermore, the cytotoxity of the liposomes purified with spin column G-50 was higher than that of the liposomes purified with ultracentrifugation method. To conclude, the long-circulating methotrexate-loaded liposomes show a higher antitumor activity than free methotrexate in MG-63 cel s in vitro, providing the basis for further investigation of its antitumor effect on human osteosarcoma in vivo.

Objective To evaluate the life quality in front and at the back of the cure of the floating population tuberculosis patients.Methods The SF-36 scale was applied to the new smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patient in floating population using face to face interview in Shenzhen 6 districts.The contrast was tuberculosis patient in the population of the household register,the people stayed temporarily in the same term.Results The score of general health(43.36 ± 15.67),vitality(57.96 ± 16.54) and mental health(61.46 ± 14.26) in the floating population was lower than the appraisal result with the population of the household register(49.28 ± 17.85,66.38 ± 17.03 and 66.70 ± 15.12),the people stayed temporarily(45.00 ± 17.22,60.99 ± 16.59 and 63.13 ±13.71 ) (P ＜ 0.05 ).It was still lower than the other two groups after 2 (3) months and 6 (7) months (P ＜ 0.05 ).But the score of social functioning in floating population ( 88.92 ± 14.88 ) was higher than the other two groups (82.62 ± 14.44,68.02 ± 27.30).The change rate of general health ( (76.05 ± 132.82) ％,(69.32 ± 111.98 ) ％and (48.36 ± 101.31 ) ％ ) and social functioning scores( (46.49 ± 85.18 ) ％,( 26.33 ± 50.25 ) ％ and ( 51.09±73.44)％ ) were significant difference in the three groups(x2 =12.088,P=0.002;x2 =11.611,P=0.003).The change rate of the general health score in floating population was higher than the household register population and people stayed temporarily.Conclusion It is necessary to implement the management in whole course to the floating population tuberculosis patients.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of antibiotics to treat Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection in the clinic. METHODS:Resistant rate of PA in our hospital during 2011-2015 were analyzed retrospectively. Antibiotics use densi-ty(AUD)of 10 commonly used antibiotics were analyzed statistically,and the correlation of resistant rate with AUD was investi-gated by Spearman correlation analysis. RESULTS:One thousaud and eleven strains of PA were isolated in our hospital during 2011-2014,detection rate of PA always occupied the top 5 place. Top 3 antibiotics in the list of AUD were levofloxacin,ceftazi-dime,cefoperazone sodium and tazobactam sodium. AUD of piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium,levofloxacin,ciprofloxa-cin and meropenem were positively correlated with resistant rate of PA(r were 1.000,0.900,1.000,1.000,P<0.05). AUD of ce-foperazone sodium and tazobactam sodium were negatively correlated with resistant rate of PA(r=-0.900,P<0.05). AUD of imi-penem and cilastatin sodium,ceftazidime,gentamicin,aztreonam and amikacin had no correlation with resistant rate of PA(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:There is correlation between AUD of antibiotics and resistant rate of PA. It is of important significance to detect resistant rate of PA and the use of antibiotics regularly. Antibiotics should be selected cautiously in accordance with bacterial monitoring data,results of drug sensitivity tests,the amount and resistant rate of antibiotics,etc,in order to reduce resistant PA.

Background/Aims: To evaluate the causal correlation between complement components and non-viral liver diseases and their potential use as druggable targets. Methods: We conducted Mendelian randomization (MR) to assess the causal role of circulating complements in the risk of non-viral liver diseases. A complement-centric protein interaction network was constructed to explore biological functions and identify potential therapeutic options. Results: In the MR analysis, genetically predicted levels of complement C1q C chain (C1QC) were positively associated with the risk of autoimmune hepatitis (odds ratio 1.125, 95% confidence interval 1.018–1.244), while complement factor H-related protein 5 (CFHR5) was positively associated with the risk of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC;1.193, 1.048– 1.357). On the other hand, CFHR1 (0.621, 0.497–0.776) and CFHR2 (0.824, 0.703–0.965) were inversely associated with the risk of alcohol-related cirrhosis. There were also significant inverse associations between C8 gamma chain (C8G) and PSC (0.832, 0.707–0.979), as well as the risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (1.167, 1.036–1.314). Additionally, C1S (0.111, 0.018–0.672), C7 (1.631, 1.190–2.236), and CFHR2 (1.279, 1.059–1.546) were significantly associated with the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. Proteins from the complement regulatory networks and various liver diseaserelated proteins share common biological processes. Furthermore, potential therapeutic drugs for various liver diseases were identified through drug repurposing based on the complement regulatory network. Conclusions Our study suggests that certain complement components, including C1S, C1QC, CFHR1, CFHR2, CFHR5, C7, and C8G, might play a role in non-viral liver diseases and could be potential targets for drug development.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the current status of contact tracing among pregnant women infected with syphilis and to analyze the associated factors from patients' perspective.

METHODSPregnant women who aged 18 years old, receiving prenatal care services in Shenzhen, diagnosed with syphilis according to national diagnostic criteria (WS 273-2007) from 2008 to 2011 were recruited and the total number was 3 551. Information of both pregnant women (including demographic information, laboratory results, syphilis diagnosis, and personal life history) and their partners (including results of partner tracing and laboratory examination) were collected with structured questionnaire by face-to-face interview. Multivariate non-conditional logistic regression model was applied to analyze the factors associated with partners' contract tracing. Odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidential interval (95%CI) were calculated.

RESULTSThe average age was 28.72 among recruited 3 551 syphilis-infected pregnant women, with standard deviation of 5.21 and range of 18 to 40. Totally 2 550 partners attended antenatal clinics and received syphilis examination, with a contact tracing rate of 71.81%. The OR(95%CI) was 1.70(1.26-2.30) for pregnant women with college or above education when comparing with those with senior high school or below education. The OR(95%CI) was 0.57(0.45-0.71) for those unmarried or divorce when comparing with those married. The OR (95% CI) was 0.73(0.56-0.94) and 0.65(0.53-0.81) for those screened in 28-36 gestational weeks and those screened in >36 gestational weeks or right before delivery separately, when comparing with those screened in ≤27 gestational weeks. The OR (95% CI) was 1.45(1.14-1.84) for those having received sufficient treatment before pregnancy when comparing with those diagnosed with latent syphilis. The OR(95%CI) was 0.31 (0.24-0.39) for those having no treatment or not standardized treatment when comparing with those having standardized penicillin treatment. The OR(95%CI) was 0.53 (0.43-0.65) for those terminating the pregnancy when comparing with those giving birth to a baby. The OR(95%CI) was 1.24 (1.05-1.46) for those having two or more love histories when comparing with those having only one love history. The OR(95%CI) was 4.74 (3.54-6.35) for those intending to disclose the serostatus to their partner when comparing with those showing unwillingness to disclose the serostatus.

CONCLUSIONThe successful rate of contact tracing among pregnant women infected with syphilis was high. The implementation of contact tracing may be affected by many factors, including patients' education levels, marital status, gestational weeks of screening, stage of syphilis, treatment status, outcome of pregnancy, number of love histories, and willingness of serostatus disclosure.
