Aim To investigate how Farnesoid X re-ceptor (FXR),a nuclear hormone receptor,acts on neurological behaviors such as emotion,social behav-ior,memory and so on.Methods FXR’s function in central nervous system was evaluated by conducting a battery of behavioral tests including elevated plus maze test (EPMT),forced-swimming test (FST),social in-teraction test (SIT ), and passive avoidance test (PAT),and the contents of neurotransmitters were de-termined by the LC-MS /MS method in FXR knockout (KO)female mice and their wild-type controls.Re-sults FXR KO mice showed significantly increased immobility time in FST (P <0.01 ),and it showed in-creased tendency to enter the open arms in EMPT (P<0.01 ).The number of probing the open arms by FXR KO mice was more than that of the controls.Mo-reover,in SIT,FXR KO mice had remarkably in-creased sniffing interactions with the stranger mouse in the same cage (P <0.01 ).But in PAT,the latency for FXR KO mice to enter the dark chamber on the test day and the number of FXR KO mice to enter the dark chamber didn’t differ from those wild-type mice.In hippocampus,the contents of GABA,Glu,and NE were decreased prominently in FXR KO mice (P <0.05,P <0.05 and P <0.01 ,respectively)as well as the ratio of GABA to Glu (P <0.05).But in pre-frontal cortex,none of the neurotransmitters examined showed any difference between FXR KO mice and their controls.Conclusion FXR may be involved in main-tenance of the homeostasis of neural transmission in the central nervous system,thereby influences the emotion-al and social behavior in animals.

OBJECTIVE To understand nosocomial candidal infection among tuberculosis patients and its drug(sensitivity).(METHODS) Totally 6280 clinical samples from Jan 2002 to Dec 2004 were cultured;and part of(positive) ones were tested their drug sensitivity to FC,FLC,KET and ITC.RESULTS From all cultured samples 2767 Candida strains(positive rate was 44.06%) were isolated.From them C.albicans,C.glabrata,C.tropicalis,C.krusei and other Candida were 2006, 344,206,95 and 116 strains,their positive rate was 31.94%,(5.48%),3.28%, 1.51% and 1.85%,respectively.Their drug sensitivity rate to four drugs were as follows: to FC was 93.73%,to TTC 62.76%,to FLC 51.03% and to KET was 47.59%. CONCLUSIONS The condition of(tuberculosis) patient would become serious due to higher dual infection rate by Candida after too long anti-(tuberculosis) treatment.Among the four kinds of drugs the FC has the best anti-candidal activity.

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a common and complex neuropsychiatric complication in patients with liver cirrhosis and has the features of high incidence, recurrence, and mortality rates, and it is also an important factor for the increased risk of hospitalization and rehospitalization. At present, there are still no effective drugs for HE. Recent studies have found that intestinal microecological changes are associated with the development, progression, and prognosis of HE, and the regulation of intestinal flora has a certain preventive effect on HE. This article summarizes the research on the association between intestinal microecology and HE in recent years and hopes to provide new ideas for clinical prevention and treatment of HE.

Objective: To investigate the peak time and peak area of elements in cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTe QDs) using size exclusion chromatography-high-performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, as well as the biological stability of CdTe QDs in vivo and in vitro. Methods: Transmission electron microscope and ultraviolet fluorescence were used for characterization and synthesis of water-soluble CdTe QDs, and CdTe QDs were added to double-distilled water, mobile phase, or bovine serum medium to observe the change in stability after different periods of time. CdTe QDs were injected into the vein of mice, and the changes in the morphology of CdTe QDs in serum and the liver were measured at 1, 24, and 72 hours after exposure. Size exclusion chromatography-high-performance liquid chromatography was used for the elution of the compounds in the solution based on their volume, and then inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was performed for the eluent. The flow time of ¹¹⁴Cd and ¹³⁰Te and molar ratio were used for qualitative analysis of CdTe QDs, and the peak area was used to judge whether CdTe QDs were degraded. Results: CdTe QDs were diluted to a concentration of 0.5 mmol/L with double-distilled water and then placed in a dark place at room temperature; CdTe QDs were completely degraded after 60 minutes. CdTe QDs were diluted to a concentration of 0.005 mmol/L with a mobile phase, and the peak of CdTe QDs was not detected. After CdTe QDs were placed in a dark place at room temperature for 48 hours at a concentration of 0.005 mmol/L in bovine serum mediumin vitro, the peak area of ¹¹⁴Cd was 6179841-7346084, and the peak area of ¹³⁰Te was 1077913-1191066. CdTe QDs had the highest peak area at 1 hour after exposure, and the peak areas of ¹¹⁴Cd and ¹³⁰Te were 18183894 and 25187987, respectively. CdTe QDs were quickly degraded in the liver; at 1 hour after exposure, the degradation products of CdTe QDs containing Cd were observed in liver tissue homogenate, and CdTe QDs were largely degradedat 24 hours. Conclusion This method can be used to investigate the biological stability of CdTe QDs. CdTe QDs are degraded in the liver and produce Cd²⁺, which may cause toxic reaction.

Objective:To analyze the effect of biofeedback electrical stimulation on the prevention of stress urinary incontinence and pelvic floor muscle strength during postpartum rehabilitation.Methods:A total of 200 parturients who gave birth in Ningde Municipal Hospital of Ningde Normal University from October 2021 to April 2022 were included as research objects and divided into the control group and the observation group according to different rehabilitation programs, with 100 cases in each group. The control group was given routine rehabilitation, and the observation group was given biofeedback electrical stimulation on the basis of the control group, the parturients in the two groups were treated for 3 months. The occurrence of stress urinary incontinence in the two groups was compared, and the pelvic floor muscle strength before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.

After treatment, the muscle strength grade, class Ⅰ muscle fiber, class Ⅱ muscle fiber and average voltage of pelvic floor muscle in the observation group were higher than those in the control group: (3.85 ± 0.27) grades vs. (3.74 ± 0.32) grades, (10.23 ± 1.17) μV vs. (8.84 ± 1.13) μV, (11.56 ± 0.19) μV vs. (10.98 ± 0.24) μV, (18.12 ± 3.24) μV vs. (14.69 ± 3.01) μV, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). After treatment, the scores of ICI Q-SF and PFIQ-7 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group: (7.02 ± 1.26) scores vs. (8.26 ± 1.15) scores, (18.96 ± 4.31) scores vs. (24.17 ± 5.62) scores, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of biofeedback electrical stimulation in postpartum rehabilitation can reduce the incidence of stress urinary incontinence, improve postpartum pelvic floor muscle strength, and reduce the impact of stress urinary incontinence and pelvic floor muscle disorder on daily life.

ObjectiveTo investigate the influencing factors for death within 30 days in patients with decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for 616 patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy in Beijing Ditan Hospital from January 2008 to April 2018， and all patients were followed up for 30 days. According to their prognosis， they were divided into survival group with 488 patients and death group with 128 patients. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups， and the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. The Cox regression analysis was used to investigate the independent risk factors for death within 30 days in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy. ResultsThe multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that age （hazard ratio ［HR］=1.029， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.014‍ — ‍1.044， P<0.001）， Model for End-Stage Liver Disease （MELD） score （HR=1.118， 95%CI： 1.098‍ — ‍1.139， P<0.001）， and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio （NLR） （HR=1.036， 95%CI： 1.015‍ — ‍1.057， P=0.001） were independent risk factors for death within 30 days in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy. The stratified analysis showed that the patients with a MELD score of≥20 and an NLR of≥4 had a higher risk of death， with a 30-day mortality rate of 57.1% （80/140）. The patients with a MELD score of<20 and an NLR of<4 had a 30-day mortality rate of 3.9% （9/232）. ConclusionAge， MELD score， and NLR are independent risk factors for death within 30 days in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy， and patients with a MELD score of≥20 and an NLR of≥4 tend to have a high risk of death.

OBJECTIVE：To investiga te main risk factors for adverse drug reactions （ADR）of skin by intravenous injection of iodine contrast agent. METHODS ：From Jan. 2009 to Apr. 2020，the patients suffering from skin ADR after enhanced CT with iodine contrast agent were collected from our hospital. The basic information ，laboratory test results before using iodine contrast agent and ADR related information were collected through hospital information system （HIS）. The use of iodine contrast agent ，main manifestations of skin ADR and drug combination were analyzed statistically. Taking the sex ，age，body mass index （BMI），the dosage of iodine contrast agent ，length of stay ，laboratory examination ，tumor history ，basic disease ，allergy history ，drinking history as independent variables ，the incidence of skin ADR related to iodine contrast agent was analyzed by single factor analysis ，and the variables with statistically significant were selected for multivariate Logistic stepwise regression analysis. RESULTS ：There were 157 cases of skin ADR ，involving 79 males（50.3％）and 78 females（49.7％）. The age ranged from 19 to 86 years old ，being（52.68± 18.73）years old in average. BMI was 14.6-40.7 kg/m2，being（22.5±3.7） kg/m2. 67 cases（42.68％）were treated with iprodione ，34 cases（21.66％）with iodixanol ，31 cases（19.74％）with iohexol and 25 cases（15.92％）with iopamidol ；the dose of iodine contrast agent were 50-100 mL，being（73.06±13.29）mL in average. There was no significant difference among different dosage of 4 kinds of iodine contrast agents （P≤0.05）. Among 4 kinds of iodine contrast agents ，the incidence of skin ADR induced by iopromide was the highest（0.197％）. The skin ADR related to iodine contrast agent was mainly acute （89.2％），the severity was mild （75.2％），and urticaria（38.9％）was the most common. After symptomatic treatment ，135 cases were cured ，13 cases were improved and 9 cases were not improved. Among the patients with iodine contrast agent related skin ADR ，the incidence of ADR induced by combined use of anti infective drugs was the highest （33.1％）；however，the combined use of anti-tumor drugs was the main cause of severe skin ADR. The length of stay ｛11～20 d[OR＝1.21，95％CI（1.07，1.20），P＝0.042]、21～30 d[OR＝1.39，95％CI（1.12，1.52），P＝0.035]、31～40 d[OR＝1.15，95％CI（1.03，1.37），P＝0.008]、＞40 d[OR＝1.33，95％CI（1.28，1.53），P＝0.003]｝，respitatory and circulatory system tumor history[OR ＝1.51，95％CI（1.35，1.61），P＝0.037]，injection allergy history[OR ＝1.50，95％CI（1.37，1.59），P＝0.005] can significantly increase the incidence of iodine contrast agent related skin ADR. CONCLUSIONS ：The main manifestation of skin ADR related to iodine contrast agent was urticaria. The main risk factors of skin ADR related to iodine contrast agent were length of stay （＞ 10 d），respiratory and circulatory system tumor history and injection allergy history.

【Objective】 To analyze the correlation between CT attenuation value of renal papilla and occurrence and development of renal calculi. 【Methods】 The clinical data of 100 patients with calcium oxalate stones treated during Aug.2020 and Jul.2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 60 with primary stones, and 40 with recurrent stones. The 30 healthy volunteers were enrolled in the control group. CT attenuation value of renal papilla was measured with plain scan CT, and risk factors were identified with the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The correlation of CT attenuation value and 24 h urine metabolism was analyzed. 【Results】 The CT attenuation value of renal papilla was significantly higher in the primary group [34.92 (IQR: 3.84)] and recurrent group [43.00 (IQR: 8.74)] than in the control group [32.58 (IQR: 5.21)] (P<0.05). Compared with the primary group, the recurrent group had decreased citric acid level but increased calcium level in 24 h urine (P<0.05). The citrate ion and calcium ion were correlated with the CT attenuation value (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Patients with high renal papilla density have a high risk of stone formation and recurrence. Increased renal papilla density is a warning signal for the development of stones. The high calcium and low citric acid in 24 h urine have certain effects on the occurrence and development of urolithiasis. Intake of calcium should be limited and citric acid should be supplemented in patients with calcium oxalate stones.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between dietary composition of residents in endemic fluorosis areas and skeletal fluorosis.Methods:A case-control study was used to analyze the difference of dietary composition between patients with skeletal fluorosis (case group) and residents without skeletal fluorosis (control group). In August 2019, taking the drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis area in Wenshui County, Lvliang City, Shanxi Province as the survey site, a cluster sampling method was adopted to select local residents aged over 18 years old, and a questionnaire survey was conducted by face-to-face interview. The survey contents included gender, age and consumption frequency of various foods. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between food consumption frequency and skeletal fluorosis. The diagnosis of skeletal fluorosis was made by using portable digital radiography (DR) to take X-ray films of forearm and lower leg, combining with clinical signs, and according to the Diagnostic Standard for Endemic Skeletal Fluorosis (WS/T 192-2008) to determine.Results:A total of 1 061 subjects were included in this study, including 376 in the case group and 685 in the control group. The age composition of patients in the case group (≤60, > 60 years old: 162, 214 cases) was significantly different from that in the control group (≤60, > 60 years old: 423, 261 cases, χ 2 = 34.52, P < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in gender ratio (χ 2 = 1.37, P = 0.251). The proportion of patients in the case group who ate meat and eggs > 1 time/week was lower than that in the control group (χ 2 = 8.06, 5.46, P < 0.05), the proportion of patients who ate milk > 1 time/week was higher than that in the control group (χ 2 = 4.01, P = 0.046), and the proportion of patients who ate seafood ≥1 time/week was lower than that in the control group (χ 2 = 4.16, P = 0.046). The results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, sex, and urinary fluoride, the frequency of eating meat, eggs or milk > 1 time/week and the frequency of eating seafood ≥1 time/week were not related to the risk of skeletal fluorosis ( P > 0.05); however, in the group ≤60 years old, the frequency of eating eggs > 1 time/week was associated with the risk of skeletal fluorosis [odds ratio ( OR) = 0.59, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 0.39, 0.88]. Conclusions:The consumption frequency of meat, milk, eggs and seafood is significantly different between the skeletal fluorosis patients and the control people. In the population ≤60 years old, consumption frequency of eggs > 1 time/week may reduce the risk of skeletal fluorosis.

Objective: To evaluate the immunogenicity of different strains of inactivated poliomyelitis vaccines (IPV) by sequential program. Methods: This parallel-group controlled trial was conducted in immunization clinics in Shanghai from March 2016 to September 2017. Sabin strains inactivated poliomyelitis vaccines (sIPV), WPV strains inactivated poliomyelitis vaccines (wIPV) and live poliomyelitis Type Ⅰ Type Ⅲ vaccine (bOPV) as the investigational vaccine were used at 2, 3, 4 months old in 325 infants in Shanghai. Infants vaccinated by four sequential program were divided into 4 groups: sIPV+sIPV+bOPV, sIPV+wIPV+bOPV, wIPV+sIPV+bOPV and wIPV+wIPV+bOPV. A total of 230 investigators′ blood samples were collected before primary immunization and 163 investigators′ blood samples were collected after primary immunization. A total of 151 investigators (36, 44, 30 and 41 in each group) finished primary immunization and blood sampling before and after the primary immunization. The geometric mean titer (GMT) of poliovirus typesⅠ and Ⅲ neutralizing antibody was tested and calculated, and the positive results of antibody before and after primary immunization were analyzed. Results: Among the 151 investigators, the age were (2.27±0.61) months and birth weight were (3.27±0.43) kg, and 70 were male. The positive rates of typeⅠwas 98.68% (149 cases), and type Ⅲ was 97.35% (147 cases); the number of investigators tested in each group was 36, 44, 30 and 41, respectively; the positive rates of typeⅠwas 97.22% (35 cases), 100.00% (44 cases), 96.67% (29 cases) and 100.00% (41 cases) (P=0.345); the positive rates of type Ⅲ were 97.22% (35 cases), 95.45% (42 cases), 96.67% (29 cases) and 100.00% (41 cases) (P=0.614). Conclusion Using sIPV and wIPV simultaneously or alternately for sequential immunization of poliomyelitis vaccines showed good immunogenicity for infants at appropriate age.
