Objective To investigate the correlation between the distribution of the charactcristics of TCM syndrome of alcoholic liver fibrosis and alcoholic consumption. Methods Our group studied clinical cases in multi-center prospective method. In virtue of Factor Analysis, we explored the characteristics of TCM syndrome of alcoholic liver fibrosis, and the forming characteristics of alcoholic liver fibrosis in inland. Rerults Among the subjects, the characteristics of TCM syndrome of alcoholic liver fibrosis mainly manifested excess syndrome with the common manifestations of deficiency and excess. The visceral position was mainly in liver and spleen, related to gallbladder and stomach. The result suggested that stagnation of Qi stagnation, blood stasis, damp heat, with deficiency of genuine Qi were the interpretation of the causes of alcoholic liver fibrosis. The total alcoholic consumption was one of the important factors which effected on the distribution of thecharacteristics of TCM syndrome of alcoholic liver fibrosis. Total bilirubin had mostly striking effect on the distribution of the characteristics of TCM syndrome. Conclusions The total alcoholic consumption was one of the important factors which effected on the distribution of the characteristics of TCM syndrome of alcoholic liver fibrosis.

Objective To provide evidence for diagnosis and treatment by investigating the pathogens and drug resistance of immunocompromised host (ICH)pneumonias.Methods Statistical method was used to analyze retrospectively the data of pathogens and drug resistance of ICH pneumonia treated in our hospital in 2014. Results We confirmed 187 cases of ICH pneumonia by pathogen study of 324 patients.Gram-negative bacillus (68.42%)was the main pathogen of ICH pneumonia.Acinetobacter baumanii (AB)accounted for the first place. Staphylococcus aureus infection was still the first of Gram-positive coccus.Conclusion Gram-negative bacillus was the main pathogen of ICH pneumonia in our hospital and the isolated bacteria show strong antibiotic resistance. Therefore,it is necessary to strengthen dynamic monitoring of pathogens in the secretions from ICH pneumonia patients’ lower respiratory tract and drug resistance.It is suggested that clinicians make anti-infection treatment cover drug-resistant bacteria.

Objective To investigate the association between third-trimester gestational weight gain rate (GWGR) and both maternal and neonatal health outcomes in a normal glucose tolerance obstetric population.Methods This was a retrospective cohort study of full-term singleton live births (n=1 967) in women with a normal oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) tested at 24-28 gestational weeks,who gave birth at Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Capital Medical University,between January and December in 2013.The subjects were divided into three groups based on third-trimester GWGR category of the 2009 Institute of Medicine (IOM) guidelines.Each group was divided into three subgroups by pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI):low (<18.5),normal (≥ 18.5-<25.0),and high (≥ 25.0).One-way analysis of variance,Chi-square or Fisher's exact test,Logistic regression and corrected analysis were performed for statistical analysis.Results (1) Of the 1 967 women analyzed,third-trimester weight gain distribution was normal in 575(29.2%),excessive in 982(49.9%),and insufficient in 410(20.8%).No significant differences were found in terms of age,parity,education level,family history of diabetes or hypertension among the GWGR groups (all P>0.05).(2) The mean third-trimester weight gain in the 1 967 normal OGTT women was (0.56±0.23) kg/week and the mean neonatal birth weight was (3 442±396) g.The above two parameters were linearly correlated (Y=103.839X+3383.752,r=0.621,P<0.01).The excessive GWGR group had higher birth weight infants than the normal GWGR group [(3 463.1±417.3) vs (3 427.4±376.1) g,F=4.901,P=0.014].Women in the insufficient GWGR group had lower birth weight infants (3 375.1 ±370.1) g than those in the normal GWGR group (F=4.408,P=0.021).Compared to the normal GWGR group,the excessive GWGR group was associated with an increased risk of fetal macrosomia (OR=1.59,95%CI:1.10-2.30) and low birth weight infants (OR=2.25,95%CI:1.03-4.94),and decreased odds of normal birth weight deliveries (OR=0.81,95%CI:0.77-0.95).The insufficient GWGR group was associated with an elevated risk of low birth weight infants (OR=3.21,95%CI:2.56-7.51,P<0.01),but not related to the risk of fetal macrosomia on normal birth weight deliveries (all P>0.05).(3) Compared to the normal GWGR group,the excessive GWGR group had an increased incidence of cesarean section [30.2% (297/982)vs 22.2% (128/575)] and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy [4.0% (39/982) vs 1.9% (11/575)] (all P<0.01).No significant differences in the risk of surgical delivery and pregnancy-related hypertension were observed in the insufficient GWGR group compared to the normal GWGR group.No significant differences in the odds of neonatal intensive care unit admission were noted among the three GWGR groups (P>0.05).(4) In the normal and insufficient GWGR groups,no differences in neonatal birth weight or risk of small-for-gestational age (SGA)or large-for-gestational age (LGA) were seen in any of the BMI subgroups (all P>0.05).In the excessive GWGR group,the high pre-pregnant BMI subgroup showed higher neonatal birth weight than the normal pre-pregnant BMI subgroup [(3 552.3±445.0) vs (3 481.8±416.1) g,P<0.01],and the low pre-pregnant BMI subgroup showed lower neonatal birth weight (3 352.7 ± 371.2) g than the normal pre-pregnant BMI subgroup (P<0.01).Moreover,the high pre-pregnant BMI subgroup in the excessive GWGR group had an increased risk of fetal macrosomia (OR=1.60,95%CI:1.11-2.81).Conversely,the low pre-pregnant BMI subgroup in the excessive GWGR group had a decreased risk of fetal macrosomia (OR=0.52,95%CI:0.29-0.97) (all P<0.05).The high BMI subgroup had a greater risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy than the normal BMI subgroup in all GWGR groups (allP<0.05).The incidence of surgical delivery or NICU admission was not significantly different among the three GWGR subgroups.Conclusions Excessive weight gain in third-trimester is common in normal OGTT women.Excessive gestational weight gain is associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.Thus,gestational weight gain in the third-trimester should be adequately monitored and a balance in weight gain within the range recommended by the 2009 IOM guidelines should be established in normal OGTT pregnant women.
