Objective:To explore the association between adverse outcomes of preterm infants and obstetric factors such as infection,maternal disease and treatment measures in patients with preterm premature rupture of membranes(PPROM),so as to provide more accurate and effective prediction and intervention methods for im-proving maternal and infant prognosis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 534 PPROM patients who gave births in the obstetrics department of The Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical Uni-versity from January 1,2018,to August 31,2023.Based on the presence of severe preterm birth complications in premature infants(including bronchopulmonary dysplasia,necrotizing enterocolitis,retinopathy of prematurity,neonatal infectious pneumonia,neonatal respiratory distress syndrome,neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopa-thy,and neonatal sepsis)or death,the patients were divided into two groups:the adverse outcome group(n=121)and the non-adverse outcome group(n=413).The study compared differences between the two groups in general conditions,pregnancy complications and comorbidities,treatment and management,amniotic fluid and pla-cental infections.Logistics regression analysis was used to identify obstetric factors associated with adverse out-comes in preterm infants.Results:Univariate analysis revealed that patients in the adverse outcome group had smaller gestational weeks at delivery,longer intervals between membrane rupture and delivery,and a lower rate of vaginal delivery compared to those in the non-adverse outcome group.They also had a higher proportion of con-current cervical insufficiency,antepartum hemorrhage,hypertensive disorders of pregnancy,and anemia of preg-nancy.The use of prenatal magnesium sulfate and glucocorticoids for fetal lung maturity promotion before delivery was higher,and the effective coverage rates of prophylactic antibiotics was lower.The positive rates of amniotic fluid bacterial culture,the proportion of clinical chorioamnionitis,and histological chorioamnionitis were higher.All of the above differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Multivariate analysis revealed that positive amniotic fluid bacterial culture(OR 4.602,95%CI 2.303-9.196,P<0.05),anemia of pregnancy(OR 4.192,95%CI 2.064-8.510,P<0.05),and cervical insufficiency(OR 9.435,95%CI 1.138-78.261,P<0.05)were independ-ent risk factors for adverse outcomes in preterm infants among PPROM patients,while gestational weeks at deliv-ery(OR0.466,95%CI 0.370-0.586,P<0.05),effective coverage of prophylactic antibiotics before delivery(OR 0.286,95%CI 0.121-0.673,P<0.05),and treatment for lung maturity promotion(OR 0.225,95%CI 0.107-0.474,P<0.05)were protective factors for adverse outcomes in premature infants in PPROM patients.Conclu-sions:The adverse outcomes of preterm infants in PPROM patients are closely related to obstetric factors such as infection,maternal diseases,and treatment measures.Among these,positive amniotic fluid bacterial culture,a-nemia during pregnancy,and cervical insufficiency are independent risk factors for adverse outcomes in premature infants in PPROM patients.On the other hand,gestational age at deli very,effective coverage of prenatal antibiot-ics,and pulmonary maturity promotion therapy are protective factors.

Objective To study the clinical value of simultaneous amplification and testing for detection of Mycobacteria tuberculosis(SAT-TB)in sputum samples and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)samples. Methods Totally 169 sputum samples and 151 BALF samples from suspected pulmonary tuberculosis patients were detected by both SAT and Bactec MGIT960.The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value(PPV)and negative predictive value(NPV)of the samples using SAT-TB were calculated. Results Taken the results of BD960 as the reference,the sensitivity,specificity,PPV and NPV using SAT-TB of sputum samples were 84.00% (42/50),93.06%(67/72),89.36%(42/47)and 89.33%(67/75)respectively;and those of BALF samples 89.19% (33/37),95.12%(39/41),94.29%(33/35)and 42.39%(39/92)respectively.Taken clinical diagnostic results as reference standard,the sensitivity,specificity,PPV and NPV using SAT-TB of the sputum samples were 57.73% (56/97),93.06%(67/72),91.80%(56/61),and 62.04%(67/108)respectively;and those of BALF samples 51.82%(57/110),94.29%(39/41),96.61%(57/59)and、42.39%(39/92)respectively.The sensitivity,specificity, PPV and NPV using BD960 of the sputum samples were 51.55%(50/97),95.83%(69/72),94.34%(50/53),and 59.48%(69/116)respectively;and those of BALF samples 33.64%(37/110),90.24%(37/41),90.24%(37/41) and 33.64%(37/110)respectively.Conclusion SAT-TB is a rapid and sensitive method for the detection of Myco-bacteria tuberculosis in sputum and BALF samples.It can improve the detection rate of mycobaterium tuberculosis.

The competence of scientific research ethnical review in domestic hospital was inadequate,which was associated with the development of medical ethnics,values of Chinese traditional society,unsound domestic laws and regulations,weak administrative management,unqualified committee of medical ethnics,the drive of scientific deriving interests and restriction of project funds.Aiming at the above problems,countermeasures were carried out to strengthen the construction of laws and regulations,strengthen the constraint of administrative management,standardize the self-construction of ethnic committee,implement the standard operative procedure,thus to provide a reference for the standardized construction of scientific research ethnical review.
