OBJECTIVE:To excavate and evaluate the security alert signals of linezolid after marketing,and to provide refer-ence for rational drug use in clinic. METHODS:The reporting odds ratio(ROR)method was used to excavate the security alert signals from the adverse drug events(ADE)data in the OpenFDA platform of FDA during second quarter of 2004-2016. The low-er limit of 95%CI >1 was regarded as suggestive of ADE alert signal. RESULTS:A total of 6828534 reports were extracted, among which there were 7224 reports mainly induced by linezolid. Top 10 ADE reports were thrombocytopenia,drug interac-tion,thrombocytopenia,nausea,anaemia,serotonin syndrome,diarrhoea,pyrexia,drug ineffective,vomiting. After the detec-tion of top 200 ADE reports by ROR method,120 signals related to 18 system organ class(SOC)were identified. Top 5 ADE sig-nals in turn by SOC were medical examination,nervous system disorders,blood and lymphatic system disorders,metabolism and nutrition disorders,cardiac disorders. The high risk signals with clinical reference value included 42 cases of optic neuropathy (ROR=56.33),350 cases of serotonin syndrome(ROR=52.86),162 cases of lactic acidosis(ROR=18.30),31 cases of endo-carditis (ROR=15.38),566 cases of thrombocytopenia (ROR=14.29),122 cases of bone marrow failure (ROR=14.20),261 cases of panhematopenia (ROR=11.92),86 cases of disseminated intravascular coagulation (ROR=10.91),58 cases of toxic epidermal necrolysis(ROR=9.06),etc. As for ADE reports,male was slightly higher than female,and the patients in age group of ≥45 reported evidently more compared to younger age group. CONCLUSIONS:By detecting and evaluating alert signals of li-nezolid through OpenFDA platform,we could effectively lay the foundation for further research of pharmacovigilance.

Objective To explore the consistency and significance of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and clinical and histopathological findings in adoptively transferred uveitis in mice.Methods The adoptively transferred experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) model was established by intraperitoneal injection of antigen-specific T cells in C57BL/6 mice.Since 9 days after transferred,inflammation of eyes was observed by indirect ophthalmoscope with +90D lens and record clinical scores every 3 days.The disease was divided into 6 phases including onset phase,early phase,pre-peak phase,peak phase,resolution phase and late phase of EAU,which respectively corresponding to clinical score 0.5,1.0,1.5-2.0,2.5-3.0,1.0-2.0 and less than 1.0.Since 9 days after transferred,the retina and retinal thickness (RT) was measured by spectralis OCT about 1 disc from the disc edge in 10 time points including 9,11,16,21,25,30,35,40,50 and 60 days after transferred.The OCT score was recorded as from 0.0 to 4.0.After transferred 9,21 and 60 days,the mice were killed and eye balls were examined in histology.OCT score,clinical score and histology in the mouse were compared and analyzed.Results The disease was divided into onset phase,early phase,pre-peak phase and peak phase of EAU,which respectively corresponding to 9,16,21 and 26 days after transferred.In four phases,OCT score were 0.5,1.0,2.0 and 4.0 respectively.After transferred 30 days,which was in resolution phase of EAU,the inflammation cells in vitreous were decreased and OCT score was 3.0.After transferred 60 days,which was in late phase of EAU,inflammation cells in vitreous were disappeared and retina was atrophic topically.The histology showed the vitreous has slight inflammation cells and retinal structure was normal at onset of EAU.The vitreous has massive inflammation cells and retina structure was disorder at pre-peak of EAU.And in resolution phase of EAU,the inflammation cells in vitreous were slightly and retina was atrophic and thinned.The data in this study demonstrated that OCT score was well correlated with clinical score in EAU (r=0.957 9,P＜0.000 1).Conclusion OCT and clinical and histopathological findings in adoptively transferred uveitis in mice were consistency and OCT is contribute to evaluate the disease dynamically and quantifiably.

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of sentinel lymph nodes biopsy (SLNB) in breast cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods SLNB was performed in sixty primary breast cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy using a combination of 99mTc- Rituximab and patent blue. SLN was examined by routine pathologic examination and immunohistochemistry. Routine axillary lymph node resection was performed after SLNB. Results The successful rate of SLNB was 95% (57/60). Twenty-three cases of SLN (40% ) were metastasis positive, including 18 positive cases detected by HE staining and 5 by immunohistochemistry. SLN was the only metastasis lymph nodes in 14 out of 23 cases. One case was of false negative metastasis by SLN. The sensitivity and accuracy of SLNB were 96% (23/24) and 98% (56/57), respectively. The specificity was 100% (33/33) , the false negative rate was 4. 3% (1/23) with the negative predictive value being 97% (36/37). The positive predictive value was 100% (24/24). Internal mammary sentinel lymph node lymphoscintigraphy were positive in 11 cases but all the cases were negative in metastases by pathologic examination. Conclusion The combination of isotope imaging agent and patent blue is suitable for primary breast carcinoma after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Internal mammary sentinel lymph node biopsy is less clinically important.

Objective To investigate use of magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (MR-DTI) for quantitatively evaluating the efficacy of Mailuoning Injection on non-compressive lumbar radiculitis.Methods Nine Bama mini pigs were selected and divided into group A,B and C,3 cases in each group.The non-compressive lumbar radiculitis model was established under CT-guiding.The corresponding therapeutic drugs (group A:10 mL Mailuoning;group B:10 mL normal saline;group C:10 mL diminishing inflammation fluid) were given by epidural injection on 14 d after constructing model.MR-DTI was performed before model construction,14 d after model construction and before treatment.One experimental pig in each group was taken on 3,7,14 d after treatment,performed MR-DTI and killed for taking the nerve root sample to conduct the immunohistochemical detection.The fractional anisotropy (FA) values of nerve root in MR-DTI imaging were measured.The FA values and immunohistochemical detection results were statistically analyzed.Results MR-DTI:the FA values after model construction in each group was decreased (P<0.05);the FA values on 14 d after treatment in the group A was increased,which showed statistically significant difference compared with before treatment (P<0.05);the FA values after 3,7 d treatment in the group A had no obvious increase,the difference between the group A and B was not statistically significant (P>0.05),but the FA values increase in the group C was earlier and more rapid than other two groups (P<0.05);the FA values after 14 d treatment in the group A was risen again,the FA values of bilateral nerve roots had no statistical difference between the group A with the group B and C (P>0.05),while the FA values had statistical difference between the group B and C (P<0.05).The immunohistochemical results:TNF-α integral absorbency value(IA value) on 7 d after treatment in the group A began to decline;the TNF-α IA value on 14 d after treatment in the group A and C was significantly decreased compared to group B,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Mailuoning Injection has a certain effect on non-compressive lumbar radiculitis,which can be evaluated by using DTI.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia disease. Detection of atrial fibrillation based on electrocardiogram (ECG) is of great significance for clinical diagnosis. Due to the non-linearity and complexity of ECG signals, the procedure to manually diagnose the ECG signals takes a lot of time and is prone to errors. In order to overcome the above problems, a feature extraction method based on RR interval is proposed in this paper. The discrete degree of RR interval is described with the robust coefficient of variation (RCV), the distribution shape of RR interval is described with the skewness parameter (SKP), and the complexity of RR interval is described with the Lempel-Ziv complexity (LZC). Finally, the feature vectors of RCV, SKP, and LZC are input into the support vector machine (SVM) classifier model to achieve automatic classification and detection of atrial fibrillation. To verify the validity and practicability of the proposed method, the MIT-BIH atrial fibrillation database was used to verify the data. The final classification results show that the sensitivity is 95.81%, the specificity is 96.48%, the accuracy is 96.09%, and the specificity of 95.16% is achieved in the MIT-BIH normal sinus rhythm database. The experimental results show that the proposed method is an effective classification method for atrial fibrillation.
