Objective:To explore the changes of dynamic cerebral autoregulation ability in pilots exposed to acute positive acceleration(+ Gz) by transcranial Doppler combined with beat-to-beat blood pressure.Methods:A total of 26 pilots enrolled in the + 8Gz manned centrifuge trial at the Air Force Medical Center, Air Force Medical University from June to October 2022 were prospectively included. Blood pressure and heart rate were monitored in the resting state before the trial and within 5 min after centrifugation. Transcranial Doppler combined with noninvasive continuous beat-to-beat blood pressure monitor were used to detect bilateral middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity and beat-to-beat pulse pressure respectively. The transfer function analysis was applied to derive the parameters of cerebral blood flow autoregulation in each frequency band from 0.02 to 0.50 Hz, and the phase, gain and coherence were calculated. The above parameters were compared between resting state and after acute + 8Gz positive acceleration exposure.Results:Compared with the resting state, in all of the 26 pilots after acute + 8Gz positive acceleration exposure, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate increased significantly ( P<0.001), the phase significantly increased and the gain significantly decreased in the ultra-low frequency band (0.02-0.07 Hz) ( P<0.05); whereas there were no statistical differences of gain and phase in the low frequency band (0.07-0.20 Hz) and the high frequency band (0.20-0.50 Hz) (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Transcranial Doppler combined with beat-to-beat pulse pressure can be used for the assessment of changes in immediate dynamic cerebral autoregulation after acute + Gz exposure, and transfer function analysis of ultra-low frequency band parameters is suitable for this type of evaluation.

Objective:To monitor the cerebral vascular blood flow parameters in the early stage of simulated acute exposure to high altitude hypoxia by transcranial color Doppler (TCCD), and to evaluate the change trend of cerebral hemodynamics and cerebrovascular reactivity.Methods:Sixty-four healthy volunteers were selected to observe the changes of peak systolic flow velocity(Vs), end diastolic flow velocity(Vd), mean flow velocity(Vm), resistance index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) of middle cerebral artery (MCA) 30 minutes after they quickly entered the simulated altitude of 4 500 meters. Combined with breath holding test, breath holding index (BHI) was used to evaluate cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), and subjects were divided into ≤30 years old group and >30 years old group, and the changes of CVR after hypoxia of the two groups were compared.Results:In the early stage of hypoxic environment, compared with baseline, SpO 2 decreased, heart rate increased, and blood flow velocity of middle cerebral artery(Vs, Vd, Vm) increased significantly, BHI showed a decreasing trend (all P<0.01). After hypoxia, the BHI rate of change in >30 years old was lower than that of the subjects ≤30 years old ( P<0.05). After breath holding, cerebral blood flow velocity increased significantly, PI and RI decreased significantly (all P<0.01). Conclusions:Cerebral blood flow is very sensitive to hypoxia. The application of TCCD technology can evaluate the trend of cerebral blood flow dynamics and cerebrovascular reserve capacity in real time and accurately, which is helpful to provide objective basis and research basis for the prevention and treatment of high altitude hypoxia.

Objective: To understand the seasonality and etiological characteristics of infectious diarrhea in adults from Shanghai. Methods: Adult patients with diarrhea who had visited the enteric disease clinics in 22 hospitals that carrying on the Diarrhea Comprehensive Surveillance sentinel programs in Shanghai during 2014-2017, were surveyed. Stool specimens were collected according to the different intervals of sampling and detected for 12 bacteria and 5 viruses. Concentration ratio and circular distribution method were used for data analysis. Results: From 2014 to 2017, a total of 9 573 stool specimens were collected from the targeted diarrhea patients ≥18 years old (n=96 067), through the Shanghai Diarrhea Comprehensive Surveillance program. The positive rate of detection was 46.44%. Seasonal peaks of infectious diarrhea were both seen in summer (bacteria peak, diarrheagenic Escherichia coli and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, etc.) and in winter (virus peak, Norovirus, etc.). Both bacterial and viral infections presented seasonal concentration (Raleigh’s test P<0.001) but more obvious with bacterial infection. Viral infection accounted for 60.19% of the cause of infectious diarrhea. The top five predominant pathogens appeared as Norovirus, Rotavirus, diarrheagenic Escherichia coli, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Salmonella spp.. Conclusions Among the adult outpatients with infectious diarrhea in Shanghai, obvious seasonality was seen, with peaks in both summer and winter. Viral infection with Norovirus in particular, appeared as the predominant source of infection. Active, continuous and comprehensive diarrhea-related surveillance programs would be able to monitor the changing dynamic of pathogen spectrum, and lead to the adoption of targeted preventive measures.

Objective: To conduct a viral pathogen surveillance program on pediatric inpatients less than five years old with acute gastroenteritis in Shanghai and to better understand the pathogenic spectrum and molecular features in the target population, for setting up programs on control, prevention, medication and vaccine applications of the diseases. Methods: Fecal samples were collected from inpatients less than 5 years old who were admitted to a pediatric hospital for having acute gastroenteritis. Information related to demographic, clinical and epidemiological features of the patients was also collected. Laboratory assays including ELISA, real-time PCR and nested PCR, were performed to detect the presence of pathogens as rotavirus, calicivirus, astrovirus and adenovirus. Results: A total of 1 018 samples were collected (male 671 and 347 female), with the positive detection rate as 40.57% which peaked from autumn till winter, annually. Calicivirus and rotavirus A presented with the highest detection rates (24.75% and 13.95% respectively). The lowest detection rate was found in the 0-6 month-olds (32.20%). 65% of the patients with positive virus had received antibiotic treatment prior to the hospitalization. However, no statistically significant difference was seen, regarding the rates of antibiotic medication in the virus positive or negative populations (P>0.05). Data from the Rotavirus genotype analysis revealed that G9P[8] genotype was the predominant strain, and causing majority of rotavirus infections in all the age groups. Conclusions Among the inpatients under 5 years of age in Shanghai, the positive detection rate for Calicivirus was higher than that for rotavirus group A, suggesting the necessity to carefully monitor the changes regarding the pathogenic spectrum and subtypes of the virus. Antibiotics should also be attentively administered, together with the development of suitable vaccine.

Objective To assess the prognostic value of C-reactive protein/albumin (CRP/Alb) ratio in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).Methods The study comprised 406 ccRCC patients undergoing nephrectomy between January 2003 and December 2012 in our hospital.There were 253 males and 153 females,aged 24-80 years,with a median age of 58 years.There were 355 cases with TNM Ⅰ stage,38 cases with Ⅱ stage,30 cases with Ⅲ stage,3 cases with Ⅳ stage.There were 376 cases with tumor necrosis and 40 cases without tumor necrosis.There were 395 cases of vascular invasion,21 cases without vessel invasion.The correlations among the pretreatment CRP/Alb ratio,clinicopathological parameters,and overall survival (OS) were evaluated.We compared the prognostic value of the CRP/Alb ratio with GPS and mGPS using the area under the curve (AUC).Results CRP/Alb ratio was associated with age at surgery (P =0.007),TNM stage (P ＜ 0.001),tumor necrosis (P ＜ 0.001) and lymphovascular invasion (P ＜ 0.001),and OS (P ＜ 0.001).The multivariate analysis confirmed that the CRP/Alb ratio independently predicted the OS of patients with ccRCC (P ＜ 0.001),the Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) (P =0.001) and modified GPS (mGPS) (P =0.019) were also independent prognostic factors.For predicting 3-year survival,the AUC values for CRP/Alb (continuous),CRP/Alb (categorical),GPS and mGPS were 0.88,0.84,0.85,0.80.For predicting 5-year survival,the AUC values for CRP/Alb (continuous),CRP/Alb (categorical),GPS and mGPS were 0.80,0.79,0.76,0.72.The CRP/Alb ratio was superior to GPS and mGPS in predicting the 3-or 5-year survival rate of ccRCC patients.Conclusions The CRP/Alb ratio could be an independent prognostic factor in ccRCC patients.The CRP/Alb ratio could take the place of the GPS and mGPS in terms of predicting prognosis in ccRCC.
