OBJECTIVE To summarize the clinical data of 2 cases of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS)induced by infection with renal leptospira so as to provide bases for prevention and control of severe dis-eases.METHODS The clinical data of the 2 patients with leptospirosis were retrospectively analyzed after the super typhoon'Yagi'on Sep.6,2024.The cases of leptospirosis that were reported at home and abroad in recent 5 years were retrieved.The epidemiological characteristics,clinical manifestations and treatment outcomes of the cases were observed.RESULTS The 2 patients began to have symptoms on the nineth day after the typhoon,both cases presented with the manifestation such as fever,pain and fatigue,shortness of breach and cough,jaundice and anu-ria,with the blood culture negative;the definite diagnosis was mased by blood metagenomic capture method(MetaCAP).The poultry was considered as the infection source,and the illness condition progressed to sepsis and MODS.Case 1 was complicated with empsyxis,jaundice hemorrhage and renal failure and finally died.Case 2 was also detected with leptospira from cerebrospinal fluid and was complicated with renal failure and meningoencephal-itis but was cured.Among 17 cases of leptospirosis from the literatures,the male and peasants were dominant,the infected water was the major infection factor(at least 7 cases);fever,pain and fatigue,shortness of breath and cough as well as hemoptysis were the major symptoms.There were at least 12 cases with the decline of plate-lets counts,10 cases complicated with empsyxis,11 cases complicated with shock and MODS and 10 cases treated with invasive mechanical ventilation.The misdiagnosis rate was up to 76.47％,and the mortality rate was 29.41％.CONCLUSIONS The leptospirosis is a severe disease,early precise antimicrobial treatment and timely or-gan function support are the crucial to the improvement of prognosis.The health care workers should attach great importance to inquiry for diagnosis,maintain vigilant to the disease for the people with fever of unknown ori-gin,shortness of breath,pain and fatigue by combining the epidemiological history,and make an early definite di-agnosis based on novel molecular diagnosis technique so as to avoid the progression to sepsis and MODS.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that poor dynamic postural control may lead to abnormal movement patterns during exercise,which may increase the risk of lower limb joint and anterior cruciate ligament injury.The stability of the body core is the basis of good dynamic postural control. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of core stability training on dynamic postural control and risk of injury in landing movements,and to compare the differences in training effects between genders. METHODS:Thirty-five college students(male=19,female=16)were recruited for 6 weeks of core stability training.The results of the Y balance test,trunk extensor endurance test,trunk flexor endurance test,lateral bridge endurance test,and landing error scoring system were analyzed before and after training. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The 6-week core stability training could improve trunk extensor endurance(P＜0.001),flexor endurance(P＜0.001),and lateral abdominal muscle endurance(P＜0.001).Core stability training could improve forward distance(P=0.026),backward inward distance(P＜0.001),backward outward distance(P=0.005)and comprehensive score(P＜0.001)of Y balance test for male and female college students.Landing error scoring system scores of both male and female college students significantly decreased after 6 weeks of core stability training(P＜0.001)while increasing knee(P＜0.001)and hip flexion angles(P＜0.001),decreasing knee valgus angle(P＜0.001)at the moment of touchdown,and could increase the maximum knee flexion angle(P＜0.001)and decrease the maximum knee valgus angle(P＜0.001).It is concluded that core stability training improves dynamic postural control and improves landing movement patterns,suggesting that it may help reduce the risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury.There are no sex differences in core stability training in terms of increased trunk flexor endurance,lateral bridge muscle group endurance,improved dynamic postural control,and reduced risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Objective To study the application of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in the evaluation of the stability of carotid atherosclerotic plaque (CAP).Methods 162 patients with CAP were selected as study group.Meanwhile,34 patients with carotid artery strong echo plaques were selected as control group.The color doppler ultrasound was used to observe the CAP.Results The proportions of lipid type,fiber type,calcification and ulcer plaque in the study group were 21.60%,33.33%,34.57% and 10.37%,which were higher than those of the control group (5.88%,2.94%,2.94% and 2.94%),the differences were statistically significant (χ2=4.537,12.859,13.629 and 3.855,all P<0.05).There were 75 patients of soft plaques,36 patients with mixed plaques,51 patients with hard plaque in 162 patients.The new blood vessels classification in soft plaque group (36.00%,45.33% and 10.33%) were higher than the mixed plaque (30.56%,41.67% and 8.33%) and hard plaque group (31.37%,13.72% and 7.84%).The peak intensity (-86.41±7.81) %,tmax (8.34±1.62)s,mean transit time (24.18±8.67)s in the soft plaque group were significantly lower than the mixed plaque [(-100.73±6.52)%,(9.79±2.14)s and (28.93±9.11)s] and hard plaque patients [(-104.14±6.15)%,(10.23±2.33)s and (30.07±9.48)s],the differences were statistically significant (t=9.518,6.966,2.658,13.592,5.374 and 3.064,all P<0.05),but there were no statistically significant differences between mixed plaque and hard plaque (all P>0.05).The plaque diameter (4.13±0.75)mm diagnosed by CEUS was significantly larger than that of conventional ultrasound [(3.62±1.14)mm],the difference was statistically significant (t=4.757,P=0.000).Conclusion The CEUS can qualitatively detect the atherosclerotic plaque angiogenesis,can quantitatively assess plaque,evaluate the stability of the plaques,and the sensitivity is high.
