Objective To explore the expression level of serum CD73 in Parkinson's disease(PD)patients and the correlation be-tween serum CD73 and the severity of motor dysfunction.Methods A total of 97 PD patients and 71 healthy controls were included.Bas-ic data of the subjects were collected,including age,gender,smoking history,and the condition of dose taking.Disease course,H&Y stage,and UPDRS-Ⅲ score of PD patients were also collected.PD patients were divided into mild PD group,and moderate and severe PD group according to H&Y stage.The fasting venous blood of the subjects was collected for serum CD73detection.Binary Logistic regres-sion analysis was used to analyze the correlation between PD and factors such as age,gender,and serum CD73.Receiver operating char-acteristic curve analysis was used to predict the diagnostic value of serum CD73.Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between serum CD73 level,H&Y stage,and UPDRS-Ⅲ score in PD patients.Results The level of serum CD73 in PD patients was significantly lower than that in healthy controls.Binary Logistic regression showed that the decrease in the level of serum CD73 was an in-dependent risk factor for PD.The level of serum CD73 lower than 2.85U/L was more sensitive to the diagnosis of PD.In PD patients,the higher the H&Y stage,the lower the serum CD73 level;Pearson correlation analysis showed that the serum CD73 level was negatively cor-related with the H&Y stage and UPDRS-Ⅲ score.Conclusion The reduction of serum CD73 level can significantly increase the risk of PD,and the lower the level of serum CD73,the more serious the motor dysfunction of PD patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of tiopronin on renal function during anti-tuberculosis liver protection therapy.Methods Clinical data of patients with initially treated sensitive tuberculosis treated in our hos-pital from September 2019 to September 2022 and whose anti-tuberculosis regimen was only isoniazid,rifampicin,pyrazinamide and ethambutol were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into study group and control group according to whether tiopronin was used.The baseline data,blood creatinine(Scr),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),urine protein,creatinine clearance,drug combination and related adverse reactions of the two groups were compared.Results Patients obtained based on inclusion and exclusion criteria were divided into a study group(n=102)(antitubercular drugs+tiopronin)and a control group(n=105)(antitubercular drugs+glutathione).There were no statistically significant differences(P＞0.05)in ALT,AST,DBIL,and TBIL levels between the two groups before treatment,at Middle and late treatment.At the later stage of treatment,serum Scr,BUN,creatinine clearance and urinary protein showed statistical differences between the study group and the control group(P＜0.05).The abnormal rate of indicators and the incidence of adverse reactions in the study group were higher than those in the control group at the later stage of treatment(P＜0.05).Conclusion For patients undergoing tuberculosis treatment,the efficacy of tiopronin and glutathione in protecting the liver is comparable.However,in terms of renal function,long-term use of tiopronin is associated with more pronounced damage.Due to the relatively low cost of tiopronin,for families with heavy economic burdens,short-term use of the drug can ensure safety,while long-term use requires close monitoring of renal function changes and timely adjustments to medication.

Objective:To confirm the possible pathogen causing an outbreak of respiratory infectious disease in Beijing.Methods:Oropharyngeal swabs were collected from 14 cases with fever and detected by RT-PCR for respiratory viruses and bacteria. For specimens positive for adenoviruses, Fiber, Hexon and Penton gene fragments were amplified with specific primers and sequenced. BLAST and phylogenetic tree were used for sequence analysis.Results:All of the 14 specimens were adenovirus-positive. BLAST analysis of the sequences of Fiber, hexon and Penton genes showed that the 14 cases were all caused by adenovirus 3. The phylogenic tree analysis indicated that this adenovirus was closely related to an adenovirus of 3a51 genotype (GenBank No: KF268123) isolated in the USA in 2007.Conclusions:Human adenovirus genotype 3a51 caused this outbreak of respiratory infectious disease in Beijing.

Objective:To investigate the causes of immune failure in the population with high vaccination rate of measles and rubella vaccine in Beijing by detecting the IgG antibody affinity in suspected cases of measles and rubella.Methods:Serum samples of 276 suspected cases of measles and rubella were tested for IgM and IgG antibodies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The affinity of IgG antibody was detected, and the relative affinity index was calculated.Results:Among the 276 suspected cases, 104 were measles and 108 were rubella. Six measles cases had vaccination history and were caused by primary immunization failure ( n=3) and secondary immunization failure ( n=3). Twelve rubella cases had vaccination history and were due to primary immunization failure ( n=4) and secondary immunization failure ( n=8). Specific high-affinity antibodies were detected in nine measles cases and seven rubella cases without vaccination history, which indicated that these cases were reinfected. In the cases without measles or rubella, other pathogenic infections including mixed infections were detected, which were mainly caused by EB virus. Conclusions:Both primary and secondary immunization failure occurred in the population with immunization history. Reinfection was found in the patients who had not received vaccination against measles or rubella. Other pathogenic infections were existed among the cases without measles or rubella. Thus, misdiagnosis was responsible for the increased proportion of measles and rubella patients with immunization history in suspected cases in recent years. Full-course vaccination was conducive to produce high-affinity antibodies against measles and rubella. A supplementary vaccination campaign should be launched to consolidate the immune barrier against measles and rubella in key population or high-risk population, aiming to block the circulation of measles virus and achieve the goal of eliminating measles.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of the first case of human infection with H7N9 avian influenza in Gansu province, and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of H7N9 avian influenza.Methods:The epidemiological investigation method was used to investigate the incidence and treatment, possible infection sources, transmission routes and exposure factors of the first human case of H7N9 infection in Gansu province, medical investigation was also conducted for close contacts, and external environmental samples were collected for detection. Moreover, we initiated disinfection of the epidemic area.Results:The first case of human infection with H7N9 avian influenza confirmed in Gansu province was an 82-year-old male urban resident. He went to a private clinic for cough on March 29, and went to Jiuquan City Hospital on April 3 for treatment. The patient had a history of activities near the live poultry sales store where H7N9 virus nucleic acid was tested positive, The positive test result of H7N9 avian influenza virus nucleic acid detected from pharynx swab was consistent with those of the Provincial and National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The case was carefully treated and cured 17 days after the onset. Nine close contacts underwent a 7 days medical health observation, which did not show any health abnormalities. A total of 357 flu-like cases and unexplained pneumonia and 2 cases who were H7N9 avian influenza virus nucleic acid positive were reported in the city. Three cases of H7N9 found in Jiuquan city had a history of exposure to the live poultry market, and one of them died due to late diagnosis.Conclusions:Exposure to the external environment of H7N9 avian influenza virus is the main risk factor of H7N9 infection in humans. The management of free-range poultry and live poultry market should be strengthened, especially the circulation management of live poultry. The monitoring of external environment for avian influenza plays an important role in the prevention and control of human infection with h7n9 avian influenza.

Objective To study the relationship between the washout speed in the contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and the differentiation grading in pathology in patients with hypervascular hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods Totally 271 patients who underwent complete resection for hypervascular HCC from April 2009 to December 2014 at Nanchong Central Hospital were included in this study.CEUS examinations were perfomred in all patients 2-3 days before liver resection.A timer on the ultrasound screen displayed the time elapsed since the saline flush was used to determine time to washout.The washout rate were categorized into four levels based on enhancement in portal venous phase and delayed phase.The differentiation grade and the washout speed were compared using Kruskal-Wallis test.Results All 271 (100％) lesions were arterially enhanced with different washout rate.Washout speed 1 was found in 19 patients (7.0％),while speed 2 in 157 patients (57.9％),speed 3 in 65 (24.0％),and speed 4 in 30,respectively.The washout speed had a significant correlation with the differentiation (x2=179.8238,P ＜ 0.001).The faster washout speed,the higher differentiated.Washout speed 1 could distinghuish well-differentiated from the poor and moderately differentiated tumor.The sensitivity and specificity of preoperative washout speed 1 to identify well histologic grade were 98.0％ and 77.8％,the positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 96.0％ and 48.8％,and the positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratiowere were 1.9 and 0.01.Washout speed 4 could distinghuish poor differentiated from well and moderately differentiated tumor The sensitivity and specificity of preoperative washout speed 4 to identify poor histologic grade were 24.3％ and 97.0％,the positive predictive value and the negative predictive value were 65.3％ and 61.3％,and the positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratiowere were 3.2 and 0.7.Conculsions Washout speed can reflect the degree of differentiation roughly.Washout speed can effectively diagnose the well-differentiated HCC,but it is difficult for moderate and poor differentiated HCC.

Objective To investigate the effect of cluster needling at scalp points plus gavage of modified Buyang Huanwu decoction on NSC differentiation in rats with ischemic stroke of qi deficiency and blood stasis type.Methods A model of qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome was made using healthy rats. Dil dye was given for pre-labelling after the success of model making. The rats were randomized into groups A, B, C, D, E and F. Group F consisted of 4 rats and each of the other groups, of 12 rats. A rat model of ischemic stroke of qi deficiency and blood stasis type was made by MCAO at 48 hrs after pre-labelling. After the success of model making, group A was the model group, group B was treated by cluster needling at scalp points, group C was treated by an oral gavage of Buyang Huanwu decoction, group D was treated by an oral gavage of modified Buyang Huanwu decoction, group E was treated by cluster needling at scalp points plus an oral gavage of modified Buyang Huanwu decoction and group F was the sham operation group. The rats were sacrificed at various time points respectively and the materials were taken. By nerve function assessment, double immunofluorescence staining and laser scanning confocal microscopy, a comparative study was conducted to investigate the effects of different treatments on NSC differentiation.Results There was a statistically significant difference in the nerve function score between group B, C, D, E or F and group A after one week of treatment (P<0.01), between group B or E and group A after two weeks of treatment (P<0.05,P<0.01) and between group E and group C or D after one and two weeks of treatment (P<0.01,P<0.05). After one and two weeks of treatment, there were statistically significant differences in Brdu﹢/NeuN﹢ cell count, Brdu﹢/GFAP﹢ cell count, Dil﹢/Brdu﹢NeuN﹢ cell count and Dil﹢/Brdu﹢/GFAP﹢ cell count between group B, C, D or E and group A (P<0.01), between group D or E and group B or C (P<0.01) and between groups E and D (P<0.01).Conclusions Various treatments have a promoting effect on nerve stem cell differentiation in the rats. Of various treatments, cluster needling at scalp points plus gavage of modified Buyang Huanwu decoction has the best therapeutic effect.

Objective To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of bacterial pathogens isolated from peritonsillar abscess .Methods Data on bacterial pathogens isolated from peritonsillar abscess in Wenzhou Central Hospital from January 2010 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed .Strains were identified with Vitek 32 identification system and the drug susceptibility test was performed with K-B method.Chi-square test for linear trend was performed to reveal the changes of distribution and drug resistance of the strains .Results A total of 2 864 bacterial strains were isolated in five years , in which 1 786 strains were Gram-negative bacilli (62.4%), and 1 078 (37.6%) strains were Gram-positive cocci. The positive rate of Gram-negative bacilli was on the rise during year 2010-2014 (χ2 =84.74, P<0.01), and the top three Gram-negative bacilli were Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii and Haemophilus influenzae, which accounted for 72.5%(1 295/1 786) of the total Gram-negative strains, and the positive rates of first two bacilli were on the rise (χ2 =83.75 and 24.74, P<0.01).Gram-positive cocci were mainly Staphylococcus aureus and Hemolytic streptococcus, which accounted for 83.2% ( 897/1 078) of the total Gram-positive strains.Resistance rates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to ceftazidime, cefoperazone, piperacillin/tazobactam were on the rise (χ2 =16.17, 13.48 and 11.44, P<0.05), while resistance rates to gentamicin and amikacin were on the decline (χ2 =16.54 and 16.63, P <0.05). Resistance rates of Acinetobacter baumannii to ceftazidime, cefoperazone/sulbactam and piperacillin/tazobactam were on the rise (χ2 =12.52, 10.85 and 14.14, P<0.05).Resistance rates of Haemophilus influenzae to ampicillin were on the rise (χ2 =10.21, P<0.05), and the positive rate of β-lactamase producing strains was also on the rise (χ2 =10.38, P<0.05).Resistance rates of Staphylococcus aureus to cefazolin and methicillin were on the rise (χ2 =15.44 and 12.53, P<0.05), but no vancomycin resistant strain was found .Hemolytic streptococcus were sensitive to all commonly used antibiotics .Conclusions Peritonsillar abscess in Wenzhou Central Hospital is mainly induced by Gram-negative bacilli infection . Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii and Staphylococcus aureus are the top three bacterial pathogens , and are highly resistant to most antibiotics .
