Objective To investigate the molecular epidemiology of 114C. albicans strains isolated from the vaginal discharge of female patients treated in three obstetrics and gynecology hospitals in Shanghai by analyzing the relationship between the main genotypes and resistance proifle, and the relationship between genetic diversity and cluster ofC. albicans.Methods A total of 114 strains ofC. albicans were collected from the Obstetrics & Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital Corporation and the International Peace Maternity & Child Health Hospital of China welfare institute. Phylogenetic analysis of strains were carried out by eBURST.C. albicans strains were also analyzed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). The susceptibility of theC. albicans strains was tested by ATB FUNGUS 3.Results A total of 47 diploid strain types (DSTs) were identiifed from the 114 strains, 30 of which were known types. DST 79 and DST 435 were the main types. Of the 114C. albicans strains, 96.5% were susceptible to lfucytosine, 100% to amphotericin B, 85.1% to lfuconazole, 55.2% to itraconazole and 84.3% to voriconazole.Conclusions The pathogenicC. albicans strains isolated from different obstetrics and gynecology hospitals in Shanghai were originated from multiple clones, the main type of which was DST 79 and DST 435 with certain degree of antifungal resistance. MLST typing suggests that genetic diversity is present in theC. albicans strains isolated in Shanghai area. The clustering analysis ofC. albicans strains is consistent with its genotypes.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between gastrc schistosomiasis and gastrc cancer.MethodsThe data of 11 cases of gastrc schistosomiasis were retrospective analyzed.Results 54.5％ (6/11) of gastrc schistosomiasis cases complicated with gastrc cancer,and 83.3％ (5/6) was well-differentiated and moderately differentiated.Seen around the parasite eggs were obvious intestinal metaplasia,glandhyperplasia,abnormalepitheliallesionsandother seriousatypicalhyperplasia.ConclusionsGastric schistosomiasis significantly increases the risk of gastrc cancer.Gnstrc schistosomiasis does not have specific symptoms,and it is clinically sumilar to chronic gastrtis.Therefore,patients with chronic gastrtis-likesymptoms in the schistosomiasis endemic areas should be subjected to an intensive test for gastrc schistosomiasis in the biopsy specimens collected from pyloric antrum and gastric lesser curvature.Patients infected by gastric schistosomiasis are strongly suggested to go regularly for gastric cancer check with gastroscopy.

Objective To explore the reporting process of our health risk warning system and its long-term effectiveness.Methods A total of 1 168 individuals who were identified as higher risk populations from July 2011 to June 2012 in our Health Mangement Center were served as the control group,and another 973 adults who were identified as higher risk individuals from July 2012 to May 2013 were assigned to the study group.Diagnosis and treatment were based on our health risk reporting process and follow-up system.Paired t test and paired contingency table x2 test were used for data analysis.Results The rate of follow-up (97％ vs 100％,x2=30.503,P＜0.05),consultation (83.48％ vs 93.63％,x2=52.142,P＜ 0.05),mean treatment time ((3.0±0.5) vs (1.5±0.5) d,t=69.12,P＜0.05) and patient satisfaction (87.84％ vs 96.20％,x2=48.361,P＜0.05) were significantly different between the two groups,although no statistically significant difference of incidence of adverse events was found (0.26％ vs 0.10％,x2 =0.102,P＞0.05).Conclusion Our health risk warning system may reduce the time for physical examination and improve disease diagnosis level and patients' satisfaction.Moreover,our health manatement system and health service quality should further be improved in practice.

Objective: To investigate the plasma levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer (D-D) and fibrinogen (Fib) among patients with pneumoconiosis, so as to provide insights into the prevention of thrombosis among patients with pneumoconiosis. Methods: Ninety-six male coal workers with stable-stage pneumoconiosis admitted to China Pingmei Shenma Group Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Hospital from February 2019 to February 2021 were included in the pneumoconiosis group, and 43 male healthy volunteers in the hospital during the same period were selected as the control group. The plasma D-D, Fib, IL-6 and CRP levels were detected from subjects in the two groups. The associations of plasma D-D and Fib levels with IL-6 and CRP levels were examined using Pearson correlation analysis among pneumoconiosis patients. Results: Participants in the pneumoconiosis group and the control group had a mean age of (52.91±3.89) and (52.64±4.12) years, D-D of (1.28±0.91) and (0.44±0.11) mg/L, Fib of (4.41±0.98) and (2.88±0.61) g/L, IL-6 of (0.63±0.19) and (0.42±0.06) ng/L and CRP of (3.30±1.65) and (1.35±0.12) mg/L, respectively. Higher plasma D-D, Fib, IL-6 and CRP levels were detected in the pneumoconiosis group than in the control group (all P<0.05). The plasma D-D level correlated positively with IL-6 level among pneumoconiosis patients (r=0.347, P<0.001). Conclusion High plasma IL-6, CRP, D-D and Fib levels are detected among patients with pneumoconiosis, and the plasma D-D level correlates positively with IL-6 level among patients with pneumoconiosis.

Experimental group was composed of 4 class Ⅳ cases and 4 class Ⅳ+Ⅴ cases,control group was composed of 4 healthy persons. MicroRNA array was used to screen the differentially expressing microRNA.Results There were part of same miRNA in class Ⅳand classⅣ+Ⅴ LN,among which expression of 22 miRNA were significantly different,29 miRNA of classⅣ was unique,3 miRNA of class Ⅳ+Ⅴ was unique.Conclusion Serum miRNA has a potential to serve as a biomarker to identify class Ⅳ and classⅣ+Ⅴlupus nephritis.

Objective To evaluate the role of hepatocyte apoptosis in ischemia/reperfusion injury of grafted liver and the effects of endothelin 1 (ET 1) monoclonol antibody on hepatocyte apoptosis.Methods Othotopic liver transplantation rats were divided into two groups: with and without ET 1 antibody. The concentrations of ET 1 of plasma and liver tissue were measured. The parameters of liver fuction were determined . The concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) was measured and the number of apoptotic hepatocytes in grafts liver was determined.Results The levels of ET 1, ALT in serum, and ET 1, MDA and apoptotic cells in the grafted liver after ischemia/reperfusion were significantly increased compared with normal values. In the ET 1 antibody group, the levels of ET 1, ALT, MDA and apoptotic cells were significantly decreased. Conclusions ET 1 monoclonal antibody can attenuate ischemia/reperfusion injury by decreasing lipid peroxide reaction, and decreasing apoptosis of hepatocytes and thus protect the liver graft.

Objective:To explore the association between the changes in ideal cardiovascular health (CVH) indices and the renal function.Methods:The retrospective cohort study consisted of 837 Chinese individuals from Department of Health Management in the Third Xiangya Hospital.The general information,anthropometry and blood biochemistry were obtained for all subjects from 2008 to 2014,respectively.The 6-year changes of 7 ideal CVH metrics defined by American Heart Association and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were calculated.Linear regression analysis was used to study the association between the changes in the ideal CVH metrics and eGFR.Covariance analysis was used to compare the levels of changes in eGFR stratified by variations of the ideal CVH metrics.Results:After 6 years' follow-up,we did not find significant difference in ideal cardiovascular health indexes between 2014 and 2008 [(3.3±1.4) items vs.(3.2±1.3) items,respectively] (P＜0.05).However,the eGFR in 2014 was significantly lower than that in 2008 [(99.8±22.7) mL/(min.1.73 m2)vs (104.3±24.9) mL/(min.1.73 m2),respectively] (P＜0.01).After adjusting for age,sex,history of hypertension and diabetes,and history of drug usage (antihypertensive,cholesterol-lowering and blood glucose-lowering medication),the changes in ideal CVH metrics were positively associated with the changes in eGFR (β=0.701,P＜0.01).With the improved change in ideal CVH metrics from ≤-2 points,-1 point,0 point,1 point to ≥ 2 points,the magnitude of decline in eGFR was gradually decreased,with significant difference (F=21.71,P＜0.01).Conclusion:The changes in ideal CVH metrics are an independent risk factor for changes of eGFR.Positive changes in ideal CVH metrics exert a favorable effect on renal function evolution.
