Objective To explore the application of goal-directed fluid therapy based on pulse pressure variation rate(PPV)combined with low central venous pressure(LCVP)technique in liver surgery.Methods A total of 86 patients who underwent liver lobe/segment resection in our hospital from January 2022 to December 2023 were included,and randomly divided into two groups by random sequence method.Patients in the conventional group were treated with LCVP technique,while patients in the test group were given PPV goal-directed intervention on the basis of the conventional group.The surgical indicators,hemodynamic indicators,cognitive function,adverse reactions and recovery of gastrointestinal function of patients in the two groups were compared.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the operation time,Pringle maneuver time,first postoperative exhausting time or first postoperative defecation time of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).However,the intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative fluid infusion volume and hospital stay of patients in the test group were all less/shorter than those in the conventional group(P<0.05).Compared with the time point of T0,patients in the two groups showed increased heart rate(HR)but decreased mean arterial pressure(MAP)and central venous pressure(CVP)at time points of T1 and T2(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the HR or MAP of patients between the two groups at time points of T0,T1,T2 and T3(P>0.05).At time points of T1 and T2,the CVP of patients in the test group was lower than that in the conventional group(P<0.05).One day after operation,the mini-mental state examination(MMSE)score of patients in the test group was higher than that in the conventional group(P<0.05).The MMSE scores 7 days after operation of patients in the two groups were higher than those 1 day after operation(P<0.05).Patients in the test group had a lower total incidence of adverse reactions and a shorter recovery time of gastrointestinal function than those in the conventional group(P<0.05).Conclusion The goal-directed fluid therapy based on PPV combined with LCVP technique has a good application effect in liver surgery,which can reduce intraoperative blood loss and fluid infusion volume of patients,shorten hospital stay,increase hemodynamic stability,improve postoperative cognitive dysfunction,and promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function,with a relatively high treatment safety.

Objective To comparatively analyze the quantitative parameters of culprit and non-culprit plaques in patients with acute coronary syndromes(ACS)with a noninvasive technique of coronary computed tomography angiography(CCTA),and to explore the correlation between the quantitative parameters of plaques and culprit plaques.Methods Data were restrospectively collected from 51 ACS patients admitted in some hospital from January to December 2021.The coronary atherosclerotic plaques shown by invasive catheter angiography(ICA)that caused hemodynamic abnormalities and were treated with stenting were defined as offender plaques and enrolled into a culprit plaque group(56 culprit plaques),and other plaques were regarded as non-culprit plaques and divied into a non-culprit plaque group(164 non-culprit plaques).The relationship between culprit plaque and luminal stenosis was analyzed using the chi-square test,and quantitative plaque metrics were compared between the groups.The corelation between quantitative indicators and culprit plaque was analyzed using univariate Logistic regression,and multifactorial Logistic regression analysis was carried out.Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 23.0 software.Results Analysis of plaque imaging data showed that culprit plaque was significantly associated with the degree of luminal stenosis(P<0.05).Statistically significant differences were found beween the two groups and between the culprit plaques resulting in moderate or greater luminal stenosis and non-culprit plaques in total plaque length,total plaque load,calcification load,fibrolipid volume,fibrolipid load,necrotic core volume and necrotic core load(all P<0.05).Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed total plaque length,total plaque load,fibrolipid volume,fibrolipid load,necrotic core volume and necrotic core load were all significantly correlated with culprit plaques(all P<0.05);multifactorial Logistic regress indicated total plaque length and fibrous lipid load were independent risk factors for culprit plaques,and the probability of culprit plaques increased to 1.093 and 1.101 times for every one unit increase in total plaque length and fibrolipid load,respectively.Conclusion Such quantitative parameters of plaques as total plaque length,total plaque load,fibrolipid volume,fibrolipid load,necrotic core volume and necrotic core load reflects the characteristics of culprit plaques effectively.Quantitative plaque parameter analysis based on CCTA facilitates clinicians for early assessment of patients with coronary atherosclerosis,which enables early intervention and prevention of acute coronary syndromes.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(6):65-71]

Objective To analyze the association between eye-related behaviors and myopia among preschool chil-dren in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region,and to develop a predictive nomogram model.Methods Using stratified cluster random sampling,36 062 preschool children from 400 randomly selected kindergartens in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region were enrolled between October and December 2023.Primary caregivers of participants completed structured question-naires.Data were randomly split into a training set(n=25 243,70％)and a validation set(n=10 819,30％)in a ratio of 7∶3.The training set was used for model construction,and the validation set for external validation.Calibration plots and the Hosmer-Lemeshow(H-L)goodness-of-fit test assessed agreement between predicted and observed risks.Decision curve analysis(DCA)and clinical impact curve analysis(CICA)evaluated clinical utility.Results The myopia preva-lence among preschool children in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region was 3.8％.A nomogram model based on binary Logistic regression showed area under the curve(AUC)values of 0.88(95％CI:0.87-0.89)for the training set and 0.89(95％CI:0.87-0.90)for the validation set,indicating strong discriminative ability.Calibration curves and H-L tests revealed good model fit(training set:x2=4.92,P=0.766;validation set:x2=5.52,P=0.961),with all P＞0.05.DCA and CICA confirmed clinical utility.The nomogram identified parental myopia,academic pressure,frequency of eye fatigue,daily screen time,and regular vision checks as the top five predictors of myopia.Conclusion The nomogram demonstrates promising potential for predicting myopia risk in preschool children in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region,serving as a robust tool for clinical and educational myopia risk assessment.

Objective To investigate the changing antibiotic resistance profiles of E.coli isolated from patients in the 52 hospitals participating in the CHINET program from 2015 to 2021.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested for clinical isolates of E.coli according to the unified protocol of CHINET program.WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 20.0 software were used for data analysis.Results Atotal of 289 760 nonduplicate clinical strains ofE.coli were isolated from 2015 to 2021,mainly from urine samples(44.7±3.2)％.The proportion of E.coli strains isolated from urine samples was higher in females than in males(59.0％vs 29.5％).The proportion of E.coli strains isolated from respiratory tract and cerebrospinal fluid samples was significantly higher in children than in adults(16.7％vs 7.8％,0.8％vs 0.1％,both P＜0.05).The isolates from internal medicine department accounted for the largest proportion(28.9±2.8)％with an increasing trend over years.Overall,the prevalence of ESBLs-producing E.coli and carbapenem resistant E.coli(CREco)was 55.9％and 1.8％,respectively during the 7-year period.The prevalence of ESBLs-producing E.coli was the highest in tertiary hospitals each year from 2015 to 2021 compared to secondary hospitals.The prevalence of CREco was higher in children's hospitals compared to secondary and tertiary hospitals each year from 2015 to 2021.The prevalence of ESBLs-producing E.coli in tertiary hospitals and children's hospitals and the prevalence of CREco in children's hospitals showed a decreasing trend over the 7-year period.The prevalence of CREco in secondary and tertiary hospitals increased slowly.Antibiotic resistance rates changed slowly from 2015 to 2021.Carbapenem drugs(imipenem,meropenem)were the most active drugs amongβ-lactams against E.coli(resistance rate≤2.1％).The resistance rates of E.coli to β-lactam/β-lactam inhibitor combinations(piperacillin-tazobactam,cefoperazone-sulbactam),aminoglycosides(amikacin),nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin(for urinary isolates only)were all less than 10％.The resistance rate of E.coli strains to antibiotics varied with the level of hospitals and the departments where the strains were isolated,especially for cefazolin and ciprofloxacin,to which the resistance rate of E.coli strains from children in non-ICU departments was significantly lower than that of the strains isolated from other departments(P＜0.05).The E.coli isolates from ICU showed higher resistance rate to most antimicrobial agents tested(excluding tigecycline)than the strains isolated from other departments.The E.coli strains isolated from tertiary hospitals showed higher resistance rates to the antimicrobial agents tested(excluding tigecycline,polymyxin B,cefepime and carbapenems)than the strains from secondary hospitals and children's hospitals.Conclusions E.coli is an important pathogen causing clinical infection.More than half of the clinical isolates produced ESBL.The prevalence of CREco is increasing in secondary and tertiary hospitals over the 7-year period even though the overall prevalence is still low.This is an issue of concern.

In view of the few studies on the influence of Armillaria spp. infection on the content of the chemical components in different parts of Polyporus umbellatus sclerotia, this study determined the biomass of P. umbellatus sclerotia and the contents of ergosterol, polyporusterone A, polyporusterone B and polysaccharide in the separated cavity wall of the sclerotia and the uninfected part of the sclerotia in different harvesting years under the conditions of A. gallica and A. mellea infection respectively. According to the difference of content and dynamic changes of the polysaccharide and the steroid substances, the superior Armillaria sp. was screened to obtain the best harvest years of P. umbellatus. Using HPLC and UV-VIS spectrophotometry methods, the contents of ergosterol, polyporusterone A, polyporusterone B and polysaccharide in P. umbellatus sclerotia infected by the two Armillaria spp. in different years were determined. In addition, the differentially expressed genes related to P. umbellatus polysaccharide synthesis were screened according to the transcriptomic data of different parts of P. umbellatus after A. mellea infection. With the increase of years, the biomass of sclerotia infected by different Armillaria spp. had significant differences, and there were significant differences in the four components of sclerotia. The four components of the separated cavity wall of the sclerotia were significantly higher than those of the uninfected part. The best harvest time was the third year after cultivation. Transcriptomic analysis showed that the infection of Armillaria spp. could significantly promote polysaccharide synthesis, which provided a basis for polysaccharide content determination at the molecular level. The study clarified the influence of different Armillaria spp. infection on the accumulation of chemical components of P. umbellatus sclerotia, laying a foundation for exploring the symbiosis mechanism and provided a scientific clue for screening superior Armillaria sp. and guiding the artificial cultivation of P. umbellatus sclerotia.
