Objective:To compare the evaluation ability and effect of the nursing delirium screening scale (Nu-DESC) and the intensive care delirium screening checklist (ICDSC) on the patients with delirium after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods:A total of 128 patients who were admitted to cardiovascular surgery from June 2018 to June 2019 for PCI intervention were selected by convenient sampling method.Data were collected by general data questionnaire, restless sedation scale (RASS), Nu-DESC and ICDSC.SPSS 18.0 was used to analyze the collected data.The patients' receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve and area under the ROC curve(AUC) were used to analyze Nu-DESC scale and ICDSC scale to evaluate the delirium ability of patients after PCI. Kappa value was used to test the consistency of the scale.Bayes discriminant analysis was used to analyze the accuracy of Nu-DESC and ICDSC in judging delirium after PCI.Results:The AUC of Nu-DESC and ICDSC was 0.902 and 0.857 respectively, and the difference between them was AUC=0.045 ( Z=3.489, P<0.001); the best critical value of Nu-DESC and ICDSC for delirium evaluation was 2 and 4. The cross validation accuracy of Nu-DESC and ICDSC for delirium determination was 87.5% and 83.6%, respectively.The delirium rates of DSM-Ⅳ, Nu-DESC and ICDSC were 33.6%, 34.4% and 43.7%, respectively. Conclusion:Compared with ICDSC, Nu-DESC is more suitable for the evaluation of delirium after PCI.

Objective To compare the difference of impact on the cellular immunity between laparoscopic and transabdominal radical hysterectomy. Methods 60 patients with early cervical cancer (Ⅰa2~Ⅱa1), half of them were assigned to do abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH) and the other half for laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH). Adopt flow cytometry (FCM) detect peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets, NK cells, CIK cells and T lymphocyte ac-tivation function on one day before surgery, one day, five days, and 28 days after the surgery separately. Compare the changes of immune status. Results After one day, the number of T lymphocyte subsets declined compared with preoperative one day(P <0.05). After five days, each index in LRH group was increased compared with postoperative one day, and the degree of decline is less than the ARH group ( P< 0.05), and recovered faster. After one day, the number of HLA-DR+CD3+in LRH group compared with the preoperative one day declined and HLA-DR+CD8+in-creased, and the degree of change is less than the ARH group, and recovered faster. Conclusions Immune function in patients after laparoscopic group was less changed, and recovered quickly, while the immune function were less inhibited, it may protect patients' immune function better.

Objective To summarize the clinical presentations, the findings of lab tests and procedures and the genetic investigation of collagen type Ⅵ related myopathy, and to help clinicians recognize and diagnose this rare disease.Methods Seven familiar or spontaneous collagen type Ⅵ related myopathy patients diagnosed by gene detection were analyzed.We emphasized on the features of clinical manifestations, serum creatine kinase level, electromyography, lower-limb muscle MRI, muscle biopsy and correlation between genotype and pZenotype.Results Among 7 patients, 3 were caused by COL6A1 mutation, 1 was caused by COL6A2 mutation and 3 were caused by COL6A3 mutation.Two patients were familiar wZile 5 were spontaneous.HigZligZted clinical presentations were proximal weakness in lower limbs and joint contrature.Serum creatine kinase level was sligZtly elevated.ElectromyograpZy sZowed sligZt myogenic damage.Muscle MRI of tZigZ sZowed distinct pattern of muscle involvement.Muscle patZology revealed dystropZic myogenic cZanges with proliferation of connective tissue between muscle fibers.Conclusions Neurologists should recognize the features of collagen type Ⅵ related myopathy, such as progressive weakness, early-onset joint contraetures, slightly elevated serum creatine kinase and selective muscle involvement on leg MRI scan, and then perform next-generation sequencing based genetic test on suspected patients.This approach would improve the diagnostic rate of the disease.

Objective To describe the clinical and muscle pathological characters of juvenile myositis patients with perifascicular atrophy (PFA).Methods A series of 21 consecutive muscle biopsies with clinically and pathologically confirmed juvenile myositis were studied.All biopsies had PFA of muscle fibers.Results Clinical manifestation:11/21 had typical dermatomyositis rash,9/21 possible dermatomyositis because of atypical rash,1/21 mixed connective tissue disease;9/21 had weakness complaint;9/21with normal creatine kinase (CK) level,4/21 low grade rise,8/21 apparently elevated,10/ 11 definite dermatomyositis patients with normal or low grade level;6/21 combined with interstitial lung disease,2 with EB virus infection,1 with cytomegalo virus infection.Muscle pathology:4 specimens with atypical PFA also had enzyme abnormality in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide,succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome c oxidase staining,9/12 cases had membrane attack complement deposition intramuscular capillaries,and they had prominent regional mitochondrial abnormalities,protrude PFA and focal muscle damage.Skin biopsy of one case showed perivasculitis in dermis.Conclusions PFA could be seen in juvenile dermatomyositis and mixed connective tissue disease,and PFA could not increase the CK level.The capillary and intermediate-sized vessels damage may cause chronic ischemia,which could explain the PFA with mitochondrial abnormalities.

Objective To set up a new diagnostic platform based on microarray exon-capture and next-generation sequencing for detecting small mutations in dystrophin gene.The sensitivity and specificity of the method were assessed in clinical settings and the distribution of small mutations in Chinese Duchenne muscular dystrophy/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) patients were also analyzed.Methods Forty-one DMD/BMD patients diagnosed by the clinical criteria without large deletion or duplication (≥ 1exon) were recruited from Peking Union Medical College Hospital consecutively.Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples.The libraries were prepared.Then exon and intron-exon flanking sequences of DMD gene were captured by custom microarray.Targeted next-generation sequencing and Sanger Sequencing were conducted.The patients who were not detected any disease-causing mutation were performed muscle biopsy.Results Thirty-eight subjects were detected small mutations in DMD gene.All single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and insertion & deletions (INDELs) were validated by Sanger sequencing.Twenty-one novel mutations were reported.The distribution of SNVs and INDELs was similar to other international DMD databases.Upon immunohistochemistry staining of dystrophin protein,1 of 3 mutation-undetected patients was diagnosed as DMD,2 of them were excluded.The specificity of the method was 100％,while the sensitivity was 97.4％.Conclusions Our microarray-captured next-generation sequencing assay could detect SNVs and INDELs with high sensitivity and specificity.Its advantages are economic,time-saving and stable.The platform is suitable for clinical gene diagnosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics of dermatomyositis with muscular perifascicular atrophy (PFA).MethodsA series of 104 consecutive patients clinically and pathologically diagnosed as dermatomyositis by muscle biopsy in our laboratory from December,2003 to August,2011,were enrolled in this study. Muscle biopsy of all the enrolled patients had shown PFA of muscle fibers.ResultsAmong the 104 patients,34 were males and 70 were females with a mean age of 45 years old.Among them,8 cases had normal electromyogram;42 had normal serum creatine kinase level;11 were diagnosed as carcinoma;75 were found to be combined with interstitial lung disease (ILD).Based on morphologic changes of muscle biopsy,they were divided into pure PFA group with 54 cases and PFA plus focal damage group with 50 cases.Compared with the pure PFA group,there was prominent mononuclear cell infiltration into perimysial intermediate sized vessels and membrane attack complement (MAC) deposition in the intramuscular capillaries in the PFA plus group.Skin biopsy had been taken in 12 cases together with muscle biopsy and had shown the border effectof both PFA and interface dermatitis in muscle and skin.ConclusionsOur study suggests that chronic immune vascular damage and insufficiency in dermatomyositis may cause ischemia and focal myofiber damage in watershed regions. The incidence of ILD in our dermatomyositis patients with PFA is high.
