Objective To collect data of fungi isolated from a fungus monitoring network in Hainan Province from 2013 to 2022, and analyze the drug resistance characteristics of Candida and the results of serological tests, with an aim to provide a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods In accordance with the National Fungal Drug Resistance Monitoring Network technical scheme, the qualifying fungal data were extracted from the microbial identification system database using SQL language, and the data information was then analyzed, with statistical processing done using SPSS 26.0 software. Results Among 5 503 fungal isolates from clinical specimens between 2013 and 2022, cervical orifice secretions accounted for 30.37%(1 671 strains), mid-stream urine for 23.55%(1 296 strains), lower respiratory tract specimens for 25.24% (1 389 strains)[(sputum for 20.37%(1 121 strains) and alveolar lavage fluid for 4.87%(268 strains)], wound pus for 9.59%(528 strains), ascites for 5.60%(308 strains), blood for 3.67%(202 strains), cerebrospinal fluid for 0.38%(21 strains), and joint fluid for 0.04%(2 strains), with the highest number of strains isolated in 2022 and the lowest in 2013, the 2022 figure is about 2.6 times that of 2013. Among yeast-like fungi, Candida albicans had the highest proportion with 3 312 strains accounting for 60.2%; The highest resistance rate of Candida albicans was to fluconazole at 16.7%, with 2.5% being non-wild type (NWT) for amphotericin B; Candida tropicalis had the highest rate of resistance to fluconazole at 36.0%, with NWT at 41.1% for fluconazole and 3.1% for amphotericin B; Candida glabrata had a resistance rate to fluconazole of 2.8%, dose-dependent susceptibility (SDD) of 97.2%, NWT of 15.5% for fluconazole, and NWT of 8.6% for itraconazole; Candida parapsilosis had the highest resistance rate to fluconazole at 15.7% and and NWT of 8.3% for amphotericin B; Candida krusei had a 0.0% resistance rate to caspofungin; and Candida dubliniensis was 100.0% NWT to fluconazole. Of 70 cases of blood culture-positive specimens, 64 cases were detected by G test and 25 cases by Mn test, and the positive blood cultures were statistically significant when compared with the G test and Mn test, respectively (P<0.01). Conclusions Fungal serological test can make up for the deficiency of blood culture and distinguish fungal invasion and colonization, thus providing a basis for the effective control of fungal infection in clinical practice.

Objective:To study the clinical characteristics and compliance of early-onset gout patients by case-control analysis.Methods:A total of 111 early-onset patients (onset age ≤35 years old) were included as Group A, and 111 non-early-onset patients (onset age >35 years old) with matched disease durationwere included as Group B. The differences ofclinical characteristics, causes of acute gout attack, dairy diet habits, compliance, and misunderstanding of the disease were compared.Results:Compared with the non-early-onsetgoutpatients, the early-onset patients had a higher proportion of obesity (63 cases vs 28 cases), family history (36 cases vs 20 cases) and tophus (39 cases vs 23 cases) and higher level of VAS scores (8.5±1.3 vs 7.6±1.7; χ2=22.988, P<0.01; χ2=5.749, P=0.016; χ2=5.729, P=0.017; t=4.639, P<0.01), lowerproportionof the first metatarsophalangeal joint involvement as the initial joint involvement (45.9%, 51 cases vs 59.4%, 66 cases; χ2=4.066, P=0.044), higher proportion of the ankle involvement as the initial joint involvement (34.2%, 38 cases vs 21.6%, 24 cases; χ2=4.386, P=0.036), higher proportion of alcohol drinkers and high fructose drinkers, which was more likely to relate to alcohol intake, strenuous exercise and high fructose intakeas trigger of the flare ( χ2=6.513, P=0.011; χ2=7.126, P=0.008; χ2=1.978, P=0.160), while the proportion of regular exercisers and on diet in the family was lower ( χ2=22.887, P<0.01; t=-4.917, P<0.01). The proportion of poor diet and medication compliance in Group A was higher than that in Group B(57.7%, 64 cases vs 38.7%, 43 cases; χ2=5.207, P=0.022; χ2=5.867, P=0.015). As for the reason for poor treatment compliance, early-onset gout patients were more worry about the side-effects of drugs than non-early onset patients ( χ2=4.190, P=0.041). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the main misunderstanding of gout. Conclusion:Although early onset gout patients are young, their condition is more serious, and compliance is poorer, this group of patients should be highly valued in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the expression of peripheral programmed death (PD)-1hiCXCR5-CD4+T cells and its clinical significance in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Peripheral blood PD-1hiCXCR5-CD4+ T cells from 21 SLE patients and 16 healthy controls were examined by flow cytometry. The levels of serum anti-double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (dsDNA) antibodies were determined using immunoradiometric as-say. Data were analyzed with t test and Pearson's correlation test. Results The per-centages of PD-1hiCXCR5- cells within CD4+ T cell were significantly higher in SLE patients [(2.1 ±2.0)%] compared to normal controls [(0.3±0.3)%] (t=2.959, P<0.01). The percentages of PD-1hiCXCR5-cells within CD4+T cells in moderate to severe active SLE patients (3.0 ±2.0)% was significantly increased compared to patients with mild or inactive (1.0±1.4)%(t=2.574, P<0.05) and normal controls (0.3±0.3)% (t=5.149, P<0.01). The percentages of PD-1hiCXCR5- cells within CD4+ T cells from SLE patients were positively related with systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) (r=0.475, P=0.0297). SLE patients in serum anti-dsDNA antibodies positive group (2.7±2.1)%displayed a higher percentage of PD-1hiCXCR5-cells within CD4+T cells than patients in serum anti-dsDNA antibodies negative group (0.6 ±0.5)% (t=2.303, P<0.05). The percentages of PD-1hiCXCR5-cells within CD4+T cells from SLE patients were positively correlated with anti-dsDNA antibody titers. Conclusion The percentages of PD-1hiCXCR5- cells within CD4+ T cells from SLE patients are increased and are positively correlated with SLEDAI and anti-dsDNA antibody levels. Increased percentage of PD-1hiCXCR5-cells within CD4+T cells might play an important role in the pathogenesis of SLE.

Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine used in SEP and MEP monitoring in patients undergoing neurosurgery. Methods Eighty patients undergoing neurosurgery receiving SEP and MEP monitoring were randomly divided into 4 groups(n = 20 each):group C,group D1,group D2 and group D3. In groups D1 ,D2 and D3 ,dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg was infused over 10 minutes before anesthesia induction,and then was infused at a rate of 0.1,0.3 and 0.5μg/(kg·h)respectively toward the end of operation. Group C received the equal volume of normal saline. HR ,MAP and BIS were recorded at admission to the operating room(T1),skin incision(T2),when the muscle relaxants were stopped(T3)and 50 minutes later(T4). The current intensity and the time when first MEP was induced after muscle relaxant was stopped ,the amplitudes and latencies of SEP(N20-P25,N20)and MEP on thenar muscle at T4,the total consumption of propofol,and development of adverse affects were also recorded. Results Compared with groups C and D1,HR and MAP were decreased at T2-T4 in groups D2 and D3(P<0.05). The amount of propofol consumed were lower in groups D2 and D3 than in groups C and D1(P < 0.05). The current intensity inducing MEP was lower and the amplitude of MEP at T4 was higher in group D2 than in groups C,D1 and D3,and the situation was same in group D3 than in group C (P<0.05). No significant change was found in the other parameters in groups C ,D1 ,D2 and D3(P>0.05). Conclusion Dexmedetomidine infused at 0.3 μg/(kg · h) after infusion of a loading dose of 0.5 μg/kg could improve monitoring quality of MEP through reducing the amount of propofol consumed ,have less inhibition on MEP than other groups,have no obvious effects on SEP,andmaintain hemodynamic stability.
