Objective:To analyze the influence of serological indexes on the liver cirrhosis (LC) in patients with chronic hepatitis B, and to construct a nomogram model.Methods:The clinical data of 220 patients with chronic hepatitis B in Xianning Central Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 42 patients developed LC (LC group), and 178 cases did not develop LC (non-LC group). The patient′s fasting peripheral venous blood was taken in the morning. The platelet, red blood cell, white blood cell, fasting blood glucose, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), triacylglycerol (TG), total cholesterol (TC), total bilirubin (TBiL), albumin, globulin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT), prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT), D-dimer (D-D), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were detected. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the efficacy of each index in predicting LC in patients with chronic hepatitis B. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for LC in patients with chronic hepatitis B. The R software "rms" package was used to construct a nomogram model to predict the LC in patients with chronic hepatitis B, the correction curve was used to internally verify the prediction model, and the decision curve evaluated the efficacy of the prediction model.Results:The TBiL, ALP, GGT, PT, TT, D-D, AFP and CRP in LC group were significantly higher than those in non-LC group: (50.57 ± 5.61) μmol/L vs. (46.69 ± 3.92) μmol/L, (105.23 ± 30.60) U/L vs. (75.14 ± 26.45) U/L, (68.73 ± 19.47) U/L vs. (50.39 ± 14.21) U/L, (13.88 ± 1.98) s vs. (13.01 ± 2.10) s, (18.88 ± 2.56) s vs. (15.98 ± 2.43) s, (2.62 ± 1.04) mg/L vs. (1.34 ± 0.63) mg/L, (4.19 ± 1.95) μg/L vs. (2.66 ± 1.21) μg/L and (8.54 ± 1.22) mg/L vs. (7.47 ± 0.79) mg/L, the platelet, ALT, AST and albumin were significantly lower than those in the non-LC group: (129.63 ± 32.66) × 10 9/L vs. (183.53 ± 56.31) ×10 9/L, (131.27 ± 22.19) U/L vs. (157.57 ± 38.67) U/L, (112.76 ± 19.57) U/L vs. (125.16 ± 21.84) U/L and (29.79 ± 6.17) g/L vs. (33.52 ± 5.89) g/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or <0.05); there were no statistical differences in red blood cell, white blood cell, fasting blood glucose, TG, TC and globulin between the two groups ( P>0.05). ROC curve analysis result showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of AFP, platelet, ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, TBiL, albumin, D-D, CRP, PT and TT for predicting LC in patients with chronic hepatitis B were 0.731, 0.798, 0.723, 0.676, 0.766, 0.762, 0.710, 0.673, 0.856, 0.759, 0.603 and 0.786, and the optimal cut-off values were 4.64 μg/L, 162.56 × 10 9/L, 155.67 U/L, 122.37 U/L, 95.17 U/L, 68.96 U/L, 49.95 μmol/L, 28.8 g/L, 1.64 mg/L, 8.55 mg/L, 12 s and 18 s. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis result showed that AFP (>4.64 μg/L), platelet (≤162.56 × 10 9/L), ALP (>95.17 U/L), GGT (>68.96 U/L), D-D (>1.64 mg/L) and TT (>18 s) were independent risk factors for LC in patients with chronic hepatitis B ( OR = 1.278, 1.428, 1.488, 1.356, 1.513 and 1.369; 95% CI 1.109 to 1.369, 1.269 to 1.623, 1.217 to 1.894, 1.127 to 1.669, 1.342 to 1.878 and 1.169 to 1.583; P<0.05 or <0.01). The AFP, platelet, ALP, GGT, D-D and TT were used as predictors to construct a nomogram model for predicting the LC in patients with chronic hepatitis B. The correction curve of the nomogram model to predict the LC in patients with chronic hepatitis B was close to the ideal curve (C-index was 0.739, 95% CI 0.615 to 0.876); the decision curve analysis result showed that the prediction model had higher clinical net benefit when the risk threshold > 0.26 than a single index, and that it had significantly additional clinical net benefit. Conclusions:The AFP, platelets, ALP, GGT, D-D and TT are independent risk factors for LC in patients with chronic hepatitis B, and the nomogram model constructed based on these factors could provide important guidance for the prevention and treatment of LC in patients with chronic hepatitis B.

Objective:To analyze the pregnancy complications and outcomes in adolescent women in minority areas in China and the factors affecting the pregnancy outcomes.Methods:This retrospective study enrolled 697 singleton pregnant women who were younger than 20 years old and delivered at Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County People's Hospital of Liuzhou City from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2018, as the case group. Meanwhile, 2 592 cases aged between 20 to 25 years and delivered during the same period were selected as the control group in an allocation ratio of 1∶4. Chi-square test, t test and binary logistic regression were used for comparing the differences of general characteristics, pregnancy complications, comorbidities and pregnancy outcomes between the two groups. Results:(1) The body mass index before delivery of the case group was lower than that of the control group [(24.7±3.4) vs (25.1±3.1) kg/m 2, t=-2.062, P=0.039]. The proportion of Dong minority was accounted for 48.06%(335/697) in the case group and 52.04%(1 349/2 592) in the control group. The proportion of women with junior school education or lower was higher in the case group than that in the control group [95.41% (665/697) vs 90.27% (2 340/2 592), χ2=45.086, P<0.001]. (2) The case group was noted for higher incidence of anemia [24.25% (169/697) vs 15.20% (394/2 592), χ2=31.683], premature delivery [7.17% (50/697) vs 4.55% (118/2 592), χ2=7.786], premature rupture of membranes [13.34% (93/697) vs 9.10% (237/2 592), χ2=10.731] and oligohydramnios [9.76% (68/697) vs 7.02% (182/2 592), χ2=5.848] than the control group (all P<0.05). (3) The incidence of cesarean section [27.26% (190/697) vs 38.04% (986/2 592), χ2=27.791, P<0.001] and the neonatal birth weight [(3 047.29±453.46) vs (3 131.01±472.44) g, t=-4.188, P<0.001] in the case group were lower, but the incidence of episiotomy [40.17% (280/697) vs 8.72% (226/2 592)] and the proportion of neonatal intensive care unit admission[10.76% (75/697) vs 3.82% (99/2 592)] were higher when comparing to the control group ( χ2=417.439 and 52.816, both P<0.001). (4) Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of cesarean section ( aOR=0.62, 95% CI: 0.51-0.75) was reduced in adolescent women, but the risks of episiotomy ( aOR=6.20, 95% CI: 4.99-7.71) and neonatal intensive care unit admission ( aOR=2.68, 95% CI: 1.92-3.75) increased. Conclusions:Most of the pregnant adolescents are less-educated and ethnic minorities in this study, among which the Dong minority was predominant. Adolescent pregnancies are at a higher risk of anemia, preterm birth and premature rupture of membranes. Therefore, enhanced perinatal management of adolescent pregnancy is recommended to reduce adverse pregnancy outcome.

To assess the ability of the previously selected human vaginal isolates of Lactobacillus crispatus (L. crispatus) T79-3, T90-1 and Lactobacillus jensenii (L. jensenii) T118-3, T231-1 to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and block their adhesion to HeLa cells. The inhibitory bioactive substances produced by these Lactobacillus were also identified. Inhibitory substances interaction tests were carried out by using a streak-diffusion method on agar plates. Three types of interaction were performed to determine the inhibitory effect of Lactobacillus on adhesion of Staphylococcus aureus to HeLa cells: Exclusion Group (Lactobacillus and HeLa followed by pathogens), Competition Group (Lactobacillus, HeLa and pathogens together) and Displacement Group (pathogens and HeLa followed by the addition of Lactobacillus). The number of HeLa cells adhered to Staphylococcus aureus was quantified by bacteria colony counts on LB plate. The results showed that lactic acids produced by the Lactobacillus are the main substances that can inhibit Staphylococcus aureus growth and there is variation among the three types of interaction regarding the inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The effects of Lactobacillus on blocking the adhesion to HeLa cells were concentration dependent. All four Lactobacillus isolates displayed the ability to inhibit Staphylococcus aureus growth and block Staphylococcus aureus adherence to HeLa cells. Exclusion Group was the most effective, and T79-3 showed greater capacity to block Staphylococcus aureus adherence compared with the other three isolates. The present study suggests the potential ability of L. crispatus T79-3 as probiotic for the treatment and prevention of urogenital infections in women.
