Objective:To investigatethe maternal and infant adverse outcomes of group B streptococcus (GBS) colonization during the late pregnancy.Methods:A total of 567 pregnant women who underwent obstetrics and gynecology examination in Yuyao People′s Hospital from December 2018 to June 2019 were selected for the study. Internal vaginal secretions of all the pregnant women were extracted from the lower 1/3 of the vagina for bacterial culture, and GBS culture and screening were performed on pregnant women. According to the results of GBS screening, pregnant women were divided into GBS negative group (8 cases) and GBS positive group (559 cases). The general condition and pregnancy outcomes of pregnant women were compared between the two groups, and the correlation between pregnancy outcomes and streptococcus colonization was analyzed.Results:There were no statistically significant differences in age, gestational weeks, number of births, number of pregnancies, history of abortion, residence area and ethnicity between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of premature rupture of membranes and fetal distress in GBS positive group were higher than those in GBS negative group:5/8 vs. 7.69%(43/559), 3/8 vs. 5.01%(28/559), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Spearman single factor correlation analysis showed that GBS colonization in pregnant women were positively correlated with premature rupture of membranes and fetal distress ( r = 0.632, 0.573, P<0.05). Conclusions:GBS colonization in late pregnancy is closely related to pregnancy outcomes, and strengthening GBS screening has great significance to reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes.

【Objective】 To analyze the frequency and profile of irregular antibodies in different ethnic groups through screening and identification of irregular antibodies in 67 552 blood recipients in the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University. 【Methods】 Irregular antibody screening was carried out in patients with different ethnic groups from August 1, 2016 to July 31, 2019 by microcolumn gel anti human globulin method, and the irregular antibody specificity were identified by panel cells. 【Results】 1)307 out of 67 552 cases were positive for irregular antibody, with the positive rate at 0.45%(307/67 552). Among them, Chuanqing was 1.27%(6/473), Yi 1.15%(4/348), Buyi 1.03%(10/975), Dong 0.58%(3/514), Han 0.44%(273/62 365), Miao 0.42%(5/1 187) and Tujia 0.34%(2/596), with significant differences among nationalities. Irregular antibody detection: the positive rate of female patients(0.56%, 223/41 359) was higher than that of male patients(0.32%, 84/26 193)(P<0.05). The positive rate of patients transfused before(1.22%, 129/10 553) was higher than non-transfusion patients(0.31%, 178/56 999)(P<0.05). The positive rate of female patients with pregnancy history(0.52%, 192/37 176) was higher than non-pregnancy females(0.17%, 7/4 183)(P<0.05). The positive rate increased with age, without any significant differences(P>0.05). The yields of irregular antibodies did not differ by ABO blood groups(P>0.05). 3)The specificity of 307 irregular antibody positive cases involved 7 blood group systems, including Rh system 59.28%(182/307), MNSs system 9.12%(28/307), Kidd system 0.65%(2/307), Duffy system 0.98%(3/307), Lewis system 5.86%(18/307), P system 0.65%(2/307), and Digeo system 0.33%(1/307). In addition, 15.64%(48/307) of autoantibodies, 0.65%(2/307) of cold antibodies and 4.93%(15/307) of unclear antibodies were detected. 4)The distribution of anti-D, anti-C and autoantibodies were statistically significant among the Han, Buyi, Chuanqing, Miao, Yi and Dong nationalities(P<0.05), while the others were similar(P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 The distribution of irregular antibodies in Guizhou is different by nationalities. Routine screening of irregular antibodies for transfused or pregnant patients can increase the safety and efficacy of blood transfusion. Most of the irregular antibodies detected are Rh blood group system. The exposure to irregular antibodies can be reduced by additional detection of blood group antigen other than RhD for blood recipients and donors, as well as the blood transfusion with matched blood group antigens.

[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the influences of human lung adenocarcinoma PC-9 cells on tight junction proteins of blood brain barrier (BBB) under CXCR4/SDF-1 axis by establishing a model of BBB in vitro. Methods: The immortalized mouse brain microvascular endothelial Bends cells were used to establish a model of BBB in vitro by monolayer culture; Subsequently, transendothelial electric resistance (TEER) and fluorescein sodium permeability experiment were used to detect the function of in vitro BBB model and observe the effect of PC-9 cells on the function of BBB model, respectively. Western blotting was used to detect the effect of PC-9 cells on function of BBB model and expressions of endothelial tight junction proteins under the treatment of single or combined AMD3100 and SDF-1 (1 μg/ml AMD3100,100 ng/ml SDF-1, AMD3100+SDF-1). Transwell assay was used to detect the influence of CXCR4/SDF-1 axis on the ability of PC-9 cells transmigrating the cell layer of BBB model. Results: Monolayer culture of Bends cells can form tightly connected BBB withhighTEER,which reached (182.13±5.19) Ω.cm2 at the 96 h; in the meanwhile, fluorescein sodium permeability experiment showed that BBB had significantly lower permeability than that of control group ([40.31±2.43]% vs [150.10±3.17]%, P<0.05). The TEER of BBB decreased to (46.7±4.35) Ω·cm2 after coculture with PC-9 cells for 24 h, and at the same time the sodium fluorescein permeability of BBB significantly increased than that of pre-treatment ([136.32±4.93]% vs [50.24±6.21]%, P<0.05). PC-9 cells up-regulated the expressions of tight junction proteins of Bends cells under the treatment of AMD3100 (P<0.05). The number of PC-9 cells transmigrating the BBB inAMD3100 treatment group was significantly lower than that of CON group (43±2 vs 81±2, P<0.05). Conclusion: AMD3100 can reduce the ability of PC-9 cells destroying the tight junction of the BBB model established in vitro by Bends cells.

Objective:To explore the currents status of central vascular access devices (CVADs) in children's medical center in China and to provide a reference for the standardized use of CVADs and specialized nursing as well as a basis for pediatric intravenous therapy management.Methods:Totally 31 hospitals of Futang Research Center of Pediatric Development, children's hospitals of the medical treatment alliance as well as women and children care centers and general hospitals with pediatric departments were selected by convenient sampling from July 23rd to 31st, 2018. All the pediatric patients using CVADs were investigated with the Central Vascular Access Device Questionnaire which was designed by the research group, and the incidence of complications was also observed. Totally 1 333 questionnaires were collected, among which 1 288 were valid, accounting for an effective recovery rate of 96.62%.Results:There were 22 ClassⅢ and 9 ClassⅡ hospitals among the 31 hospitals. Among the 1 288 pediatric patients who used CVADs, 860 used peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) , accounting for 66.77%; 342 used central venous catheters (CVC) , accounting for 26.55%; 77 used implantable venous access port (PORT) , accounting for 5.98%; and 9 used umbilical venous catheters, accounting for 0.70%. CVADs were mainly used in the Departments of Hematological Neoplasms, ICU, Intensive Care Unit Pediatric Surgery, Vasculocardiology and Neonatals. PICC, CVC and PORT were mainly applied to upper extremities (90.00%, 74 cases) , jugular vein (73.39%, 251 cases) and the breast (96.10%, 74 cases) respectively. In the maintenance of CVADs, there was the problem of co-existing dressings.Conclusions:CVADs have been widely used in pediatric patients, and the choice of CVADs is relatively standardized. However, the maintenance of the catheters, the use of dressings, the selection of infusion connectors and the control of related complications still need to be strengthened. It is recommended that nursing professionals and nursing managers should further strengthen their knowledge about the placement and maintenance of CVADs, and intensify their management and supervision in accordance with international and national guidelines and standards for intravenous infusion therapy to further reduce the incidence of vascular access complications in pediatric patients.
