BACKGROUND:Massive blood loss was caused by an over-reactive fibrinolytic system, as a sequence of tourniquet usage and surgery trauma in total knee arthroplasty. As an antifibrinolytic drug, tranexamic acid has been proven to decrease not only the obvious and total blood loss, but also the ratio of alograft blood transfusion in total knee arthroplasty. Nevertheless, the effect of tranexamic acid on hidden blood loss in total knee arthroplasty had not been clarified yet. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of intravenous infusion of tranexamic acid on hidden blood loss in primary total knee arthroplasty. METHODS:Clinical data of 54 patients who received primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty in the Third Hospital, Peking University from June to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into two groups according to the use of tranexamic acid. 22 patients in the tranexamic acid group were given 2 g tranexamic acid by intravenous infusion during surgery. 32 patients in the control group were given an equal volume of physiological saline. Patients in both groups were oraly given anticoagulant rivaroxaban after replacement. Hemoglobin level and blood hematocrit were recorded before and after surgery for 5 consecutive days. The total amount of blood loss and hidden blood loss were calculated by using Cross equation. The difference in the amount of blood loss was compared between the two groups. Lower extremity venous ultrasound examination was conducted at 1 week after replacement to determine deep venous thrombosis in the lower limb. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:No significant difference in general data and perioperative conditions was detected between the two groups (P > 0.05). Postoperative drainage, dominant blood loss, total blood volume, the amount of autologous blood transfusion and the amount of alogeneic blood transfusion were significantly less in the tranexamic acid group than in the control group (P < 0.05). According to Gross formula, the difference of hidden blood loss was statisticaly significant between the tranexamic acid group (302.9±189.9) mL and the control group (596.8±271.4) mL (P < 0.05). Deep vein thrombosis appeared in one case between the two groups after replacement. Results indicate that intravenous infusion of tranexamic acid dramaticaly decreased the hidden blood loss in unilateral total knee arthroplasty, reduced alogeneic blood transfusion, and simultaneously did not increase the incidence of deep vein thrombosis in the lower limb.

OBJECTIVETo study the safety and immunogenicity of the measles-mumps-rubella combined vaccine (MMR) produced by Beijing Biological Product Institute.

METHODSChildren aged 10-12 years, 2-2.5 years and 8-12 months were selected to be vaccinated with Beijing MMR vaccine (test vaccine). Other groups of children with similar nature were vaccinated with measles vaccine, mumps vaccine and rubella vaccine while using imported MMR vaccine (control vaccine) as controls.

RESULTSThe safety of the Beijing MMR vaccine was confirmed after vaccinating 32 children above 2 years old. Among 104 children of 8-12 months were vaccinated with Beijing MMR vaccine, only 6.7% of the children had transient fever and 1.9% had signs of rashes but with no other signs observed. The positive seroconversion rates of measles, rubella and mumps anti-HI were 100%, 100% and 85.7% respectively. GMT also showed high lever.

CONCLUSIONThe MMR vaccine (Beijing) had good safety and immunogenicity which might be used to be the bases enhance immunization of measles.

Objective To propose a distribution feature extraction algorithm based on wavelet packet coefficients to reconstruct the signal energy sequence for effectively identifying the pathological features of heart sounds,thereby realizing the early screening of heart diseases.Methods The original heart sound signal was decomposed into 10 layers using wavelet packet decomposition algorithm.After obtaining the wavelet packet coefficients of each layer,each coefficient was reconstructed,and the energy of the reconstructed signal was calculated and arranged in the original order to form the energy sequence.The distribution characteristics of the energy sequence of the reconstructed signals at each layer were analyzed,and distribution features were taken as classification features.Support vector machine,K-nearest neighbor,and decision tree were used to classify and recognize normal heart sounds and the heart sound signals of various diseases.Results The combination of the distribution features of the reconstructed signal energy sequence and decision tree classifier had an accuracy of 93.6%for classifying 5 types of heart sounds on the public dataset,and the accuracy was 95.6%for identifying normal heart sounds and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy heart sounds.Conclusion The proposed algorithm can extract the effective pathological information of abnormal heart sounds,providing a reference for clinical cardiac auscultation.

Objective:To investigate the compliance of statins and influencing factors in population with cardiovascular risks in the community.Methods:One hundred and eighty-six residents with cardiovascular disease risks in a community of Tianjin were recruited from June 2017 to October 2017. The Chinese revised version of the compliance Morisky scale was used to assess the compliance, and the influencing factors were analyzed.Results:Among all subjects 119 were prescribed with statins (64.0%,119/186) , of whom 7.6% (9/119) did not take the drug. According to the risk assessment of arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in the next 10 years, among the 110 subjects taking the medicine, there were 18 subjects with intermediate risk and 92 with high risk. The subjects with good compliance accounted for 30.0% (33/110), and those with poor compliance accounted for 70.0% (77/110). Univariate analysis showed that education level, occupation, and drug types were significantly associated with statin compliance ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher education level and fewer total drug users were correlated with better compliance ( OR=3.530 and 0.388, P<0.05) . The reasons for subjects not taking medicine were fearing of adverse reactions ( n=6, 6/9) , and thinking no symptoms and no need to have medication ( n=3, 3/9).The reasons of poor medication adherence were thinking no symptoms and no need to have medication ( n=31, 40.2%), thinking ineffectiveness of medication ( n=28, 36.4%), fearing of adverse reactions ( n=16, 20.8%), and economic pressure ( n=2, 2.6%). Conclusions:The proportion of residents with poor compliance of statins is high in the community. It is suggested that targeted interventions and standardized management for subjects with cardiovascular risks should be conducted based on the related factors found in the study.

Objective:To construct a simple, precise and personalized comprehensive nomogram for prediction the risk of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and to evaluate its prediction value among individuals with previous tuberculosis history (PTBH).Methods:A matched case-control study (1∶2 ratios) was performed in 1 881 patients with PTBH treated in 12 designated tuberculosis hospitals in Hangzhou City between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2019, and there were 1 719 patients in training set, and 162 in validation set. A multivariable Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate independent predictors for the incident of MDR-TB in individuals with PTBH. A comprehensive nomogram was developed based on the multivariable Cox model. The accuracy of the prediction was assessed using concordance index (C-index), calibration curve and area under the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:The nomogram constructed based on the multivariable Cox regression model incorporated 10 independent predictors of the risk of MDR-TB. A history of direct contact (grade 1, 0-100.0 points) ranked on the top of all risk factors, followed by duration of positive sputum culture (grade 2, 0-84.5 points), unfavorable treatment outcome (grade 3, 0-52.0 points), human immunodeficiency virus infection (grade 4, 0-48.5 points), retreated tuberculosis history (grade 5, 0-40.0 points), non-standardized treatment regimens of retreated tuberculosis (grade 6, 0-32.5 points), duration of pulmonary cavities (grade 7, 0-31.0 points), passive mode of tuberculosis case finding (grade 8, 0-25.0 points), age<60 years (grade 9, 0-17.5 points), and standard frequencies of chest X-ray examination (grade 10, 0-14.0 points). The C-indexes of this nomogram for the training and validation sets were 0.833 (95% confidence interval ( CI) 0.807-0.859) and 0.871 (95% CI 0.773-0.969), respectively, indicating that the nomogram had good fitting effect. The calibration curves for the risk of incident MDR-TB showed an optimal agreement between nomogram prediction and actual observation in the training and validation sets, respectively.The areas under ROC curve of the 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year MDR-TB risk probability of the training set were 0.904, 0.921, and 0.908, respectively, and those of the validation set were 0.954, 0.970, and 0.919, respectively. Conclusion:Through this nomogram model, clinicians could precisely predict the risk of incident MDR-TB among individuals with PTBH in the clinical practice.

Objective:To compare the detection rate of genital Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) DNA between urine and urethral/cervical swab samples. Methods:From December 2018 to December 2019, a total of 1 475 outpatients were collected from sexually transmitted disease clinics in 7 medical institutions, such as Department of Venereology, Guangzhou Institute of Dermatology, including 1 118 males and 357 females. One urethral/cervical swab sample and one urine sample were collected successively from each patient. Real-time fluorescence-based PCR was performed to detect CT DNA in urine and urethral/cervical swab samples, and paired chi-square test was used to compare the positive rate of CT DNA between the 2 kinds of samples. Random- or fixed-effect meta-analysis was conducted for the test of heterogeneity and merging of positive rates of CT DNA in the urine and urethral/cervical swabs among 7 medical institutions.Results:The positive rate of CT DNA in the urine samples was significantly higher than that in the swab samples from 4 medical institutions (all P < 0.05) , while there was no significant difference in the positive rate of CT DNA between the 2 kinds of samples from 3 medical institutions (all P > 0.05) . The heterogeneity ( I2) estimates of the CT-DNA positive rate in urine and swab samples among different medical institutions were 78.6% (95% CI: 55.9% - 89.6%) and 73.7% (95% CI: 43.7% - 87.7%) , respectively; meta-analysis showed that the total merged positive rate of CT DNA in the urine samples was 10.8% (95% CI: 7.2% - 15.9%) , which was significantly higher than that in the swab samples (7.8%, 95% CI: 4.9% - 12.1%; χ2 = 39.2, P < 0.05) . Compared with the swab sample-based CT-DNA detection method, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and consistency rate of the urine sample-based CT-DNA detection method were 97.0% (128/132) , 96.3% (1 293/1 343) , 71.9% (128/178) , 99.7% (1 293/1 297) , and 96.3% (1 421/1 475) , respectively. The positive rate of CT DNA in the urine samples from 1 118 male patients was 11.0% (95% CI: 7.2% - 16.5%) , which was significantly higher than that in the swab samples (7.6%, 95% CI: 4.9% - 11.8%; χ2 = 34.3, P < 0.05) . There was no significant difference in the positive rate of CT DNA between the urine (11.9%, 95% CI: 7.7% - 17.9%) and cervical swab samples from 357 female patients (10.4%, 95% CI: 7.6% - 14.0%; χ2 = 3.2, P > 0.05) . Conclusions:The positive rate of CT DNA in urine samples is higher than or similar to that in urethral/cervical swab samples. The urine sample-based CT-DNA detection method has characteristics of convenience, non-invasiveness, painlessness and low cost, and is worthy of clinical promotion.
