Objective:To investigate the clinical significance and possible mechanisms of elevated homocysteine(Hcy) levels in peripheral blood of children with sepsis.Methods:The clinical data of 51 children with sepsis (sepsis group) admitted to PICU at Xuzhou Children′s Hospital from January 2019 to December 2019 were analyzed, and the levels of Hcy in plasma were compared with 50 non-septic children (common infection group) and 50 healthy children (healthy control group) during the same period.The possible mechanism of metabolic disorders about Hcy was analyzed by detecting the levels of the key rate-limiting enzymes cystathionine-β-synthase(CBS) and cystathionine-γ-lyase(CSE), which were in the downstream of metabolism in septic mouse model induced by lipopolysaccharide.Results:The level of Hcy in plasma was (12.62±5.46)μmol/L in sepsis group, which was significantly higher than those in common infection group[(9.42±2.28) μmol/L] and healthy control group[(8.14±1.60) μmol/L]( P<0.05). The level of Hcy in plasma of 12 children with acute kidney injury in sepsis group was significantly higher than that of 39 children without acute kidney injury in sepsis group[(16.48±5.87)μmol/L vs.(11.62±4.74) μmol/L, P<0.05]. The level of Hcy in plasma of six children with acute liver failure in sepsis group was significant higher than that of 45 children without acute liver failure in sepsis group[(18.35±7.10) μmol/L vs.(11.84±4.78) μmol/L, P<0.05]. The level of Hcy in serum significantly increased in septic mouse models ( P<0.01). The transcription and protein expression levels of key rate-limiting Hcy transcription enzymes CBS and CSE in liver and kidney tissues of septic mouse were significantly down-regulated ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The level of Hcy in peripheral blood of children with sepsis increases, which is more obviously in children with acute kidney injury or acute liver injury.When patients developed sepsis, the expression of CBS and CSE will be restrained, leading to disorders related to transsulfuration metabolism and elevated level of Hcy in peripheral blood.

Objective:To analyze the spatial distribution characteristics and spatial aggregation of the epidemic of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome(SFTS) in Yantai City of Shandong Province, and to provide basis for formulating effective SFTS prevention and control measures.Methods:The epidemic data of SFTS confirmed cases in each township (street) in Yantai City, Shandong Province from 2015 to 2020 were collected from the "China Disease Prevention and Control Information System Infectious Disease Monitoring and Reporting System", and ArcGIS 10.2 software was used for spatial autocorrelation analysis.Results:From 2015 to 2020, a total of 839 SFTS cases were reported in Yantai City, including 124 deaths; with an average annual incidence rate of 2.14/100 000, and a total case fatality rate of 14.78%. Global spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that the distribution of SFTS cases in Yantai City from 2015 to 2020 showed a positive spatial correlation, with the highest spatial correlation in 2015 (Moran's I = 0.25, Z = 5.66, P < 0.001), and the lowest in 2018 (Moran's I = 0.16, Z = 3.69, P < 0.001). Local spatial autocorrelation and hotspot analysis showed that the epidemic areas of SFTS were mainly in some mountainous and hilly townships (streets) of Laizhou City, Penglai District, Qixia City, Zhaoyuan City, and Haiyang City. Conclusions:The distribution of SFTS epidemic in Yantai City has obvious regional clustering. Intervention measures such as publicity, education and monitoring should be strengthened in high-incidence areas to reduce the incidence of the disease.

Objective:To explore the application effect of clinical nursing pathway based on enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) concept in perioperative nursing of gastric cancer in the elderly, so as to provide basis for the selection of clinical nursing plan.Methods:A total of 92 patients with gastric cancer who underwent surgical treatment in Hefei Second People′s Hospital from January 2018 to July 2020 were enrolled. They were divided into the observation group and the control group by random number table method, 46 cases in each group. The control group was given routine nursing intervention, while the observation group was given clinical nursing pathway based on ERAS concept for intervention. The postoperative recovery, improvement of nutritional indexes, postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results:The first bowel sound time, first exhaust time, first defecation time, leaving bed time, indwelling time of urinary catheter, and postoperative hospitalization time were (18.43 ± 1.80) h, (43.67 ± 8.79) h, (53.06 ± 5.18) h, (22.65 ± 4.95) h, (29.08 ± 2.69) h, (13.93 ± 2.19) d in the observation group, while (22.96 ± 2.24) h, (47.98 ± 8.46) h, (57.97 ± 5.65) h, (31.30 ± 5.73) h, (35.40 ± 3.66) h, (15.48 ± 2.40) d in the control group, there were significant differences between the two groups ( t values were 2.40-10.69, all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the nutritional indexes before intervention between the two groups( P>0.05). After intervention, the levels of serum total protein, serum albumin and hemoglobin were (64.43 ± 6.22), (35.43 ± 3.07), (125.88 ± 4.75) g/L in the observation group, while (55.97 ± 5.25), (29.96 ± 2.64), (120.05 ± 5.07) g/L in the control group, there were significant differences between the two groups ( t=7.05, 9.16, 5.69, all P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications was 4.35%(2/46) in the observation group, 19.57%(9/46) in the control group, there was significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=5.06, P<0.05). Conclusions:The clinical nursing pathway based on ERAS concept can effectively ensure the nutrition needed by patients with gastric cancer during postoperative rehabilitation, accelerate rehabilitation process, and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.

Co-delivery of chemotherapeutics and immunostimulant or chemoimmunotherapy is an emerging strategy in cancer therapy. The precise control of the targeting and release of agents is critical in this methodology. This article proposes the asynchronous release of the chemotherapeutic agents and immunostimulants to realize the synergistic effect between chemotherapy and immunotherapy. To obtain a proof-of-concept, a co-delivery system was prepared

Objective To analyze the characteristics of blood loss for laboratory test of critically ill premature infants,and to seek feasible measures to reduce the blood loss.Methods Two hundred and forty-six cases of critically ill premature infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit from April 2012 to April 2013 were analyzed the blood loss for test during the hospitalization and the clinical features of blood loss with different gestational age,different weight within the first four weeks after admission.Then the application of blood loss according to test category was described.The blood volume demanded in theory was determined by the formula B =5 (∑ s + 0.1),then calculated the phlebotomy overdraw on the basis of the practical blood loss and analyzed the characteristics of overdraw per patients per day in first two weeks after admission.Results Among 246 patients,The median blood loss figure was 25.57 ml for each infants with the range between 7.10 ml ~ 119.20 ml,and the blood loss concentrated in first four weeks,which showed a decreasing trend with time.There was a statistically significant difference(P <0.05)that the smaller gestational age,the lower birth weight,the more daily blood loss per patient per day in first two weeks,but no significant differences(P > 0.05) between the third and fourth week.The largest proportion of the blood samples was used for clinical chemical tests(31.49%),followed by blood gas analysis (19.03%),immunoassays (12.69%),blood cultures (12.63%),hematology (12.28%).The practical blood loss was about twice times of blood volume demanded for tests in theory,which the median was 7.8 times to the latter(25.57 ml vs 3.26 ml).It showed statistically significant difference(P <0.05) between blood overdraw per patients per day in the first week and the second week.Compared with different gestational age and birth weight,the difference of overdraw was also statistically significant(P <0.05).According to test category,blood culture was the most significant samples of phlebotomy overdraw,followed by biochemical,other,blood gas analysis,the percentage was 76%,64%,45% and 41% respectively.Conclusion The blood loss for laboratory test and the phenomenon of blood waste is serious in critically ill preterm infants.The smaller the gestational age is,the lower the weight is,the amount of blood loss and phlebotomy overdraw are more significantly.Biochemical and blood gas analysis are the main items of blood loss.
