Objective:To investigate the effect of ultra-early enteral nutrition (UEEN) support on the prognosis of young and middle-aged postoperative patients with cerebral hemorrhage.Methods:The clinical data of young and middle-aged patients (aged 18-59 years) admitted to Tianjin Fifth Central Hospital from January 2020 to June 2023 after surgery for intracerebral hemorrhage were retrospectively analyzed, and the general data, nutritional indexes, gastrointestinal complications, neurological function recovery and long-term prognosis of the patients were recorded. According to the time of initiation of enteral nutrition (EN) support, patients were divided into UEEN group (EN implementation within 12 hour after surgery) and early enteral nutrition (EEN) group (EN implementation within 24 to 48 hour after surgery). The differences of the above indexes between the two groups were analyzed and compared.Results:A total of 64 young and middle-aged postoperative patients with cerebral hemorrhage were enrolled, including 32 cases in the UEEN group and 32 cases in the EEN group. There were no significant differences in gender, age, proportion of hypertension and diabetes, Glasgow coma score (GCS) on admission and surgical methods between the two groups. In terms of nutritional indexes, serum total protein, albumin and hemoglobin levels of patients in both groups on day 7 after admission were lower than those on day 1, and higher than those on day 3, and the above indexes levels in UEEN group were significantly higher than those in EEN group on day 7 [total protein (g/L): 63.05±5.79 vs. 59.02±6.63, albumin (g/L): 40.40±5.26 vs. 37.66±4.63, hemoglobin (g/L): 133.33±12.58 vs. 123.80±22.12, all P < 0.05]. In terms of gastrointestinal complications, the incidence of stress ulcer in the UEEN group within 14 days after admission was significantly lower than that in the EEN group [12.5% (4/32) vs. 31.3% (10/32), P < 0.05], but there was no statistically significant difference in feeding intolerance symptoms between the two groups. In terms of neurological recovery and long-term prognosis, GCS scores and Barthel index scores of 14 days after admission were higher than those of 1 day after admission, but there was no statistical significance between the two groups. Six months after surgery, Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) and Barthel index score of the UEEN group were significantly higher than those of the EEN group (GOS score: 3.81±1.06 vs. 3.18±1.07, Barthel index score: 60.78±7.24 vs. 54.52±5.13, both P < 0.05). Conclusion:UEEN support can improve the nutritional level of young and middle-aged postoperative patients with cerebral hemorrhage, reduce the occurrence of postoperative gastrointestinal complications, promote the recovery of neurological function, and improve the long-term prognosis.

Background: There is no standard cut-off value of serum IgG4 concentration and serum IgG4/total IgG ratio for the diagnosis of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) or as a marker of treatment responses. We aimed to explore this issue through a retrospective cohort analysis of adults in southwest China. Methods: The diagnostic performance of serum IgG4 concentration and IgG4/IgG ratio for IgG4-RD was evaluated in a retrospective analysis of 177 adults newly diagnosed as having IgG4-RD and 877 adults without IgG4-RD. Dynamic analysis was performed to evaluate the significance of serum IgG4 concentration on IgG4-RD treatment responses. Results: The serum IgG4 concentration differed according to sex. The optimal cut-off values of serum IgG4 concentration and IgG4/IgG ratio for IgG4-RD diagnosis were 1.92 g/L and 0.12 in males and 1.83 g/L and 0.11 in females, respectively. For patients with serum IgG4 concentration >2.01 g/L, the cut-off values in the total population were >3.00 g/L and 0.19, respectively. The median serum IgG4 concentration decreased over time, and the decrease rate increased over time. The serum IgG4 concentration significantly decreased at >1 week post-treatment (P=0.004), and the median decrease rate was close to 50% at >4 weeks post-treatment. Conclusions Serum IgG4 can be a good indicator for IgG4-RD diagnosis; however, different diagnostic cut-off values should be determined according to sex. The decreasing rate is more conducive than the serum IgG4 concentration to monitor treatment efficacy. The IgG4/IgG ratio did not improve the diagnostic efficacy for IgG4-RD.

Polymyxin B, which is a last-line antibiotic for extensively drug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections, became available in China in Dec. 2017. As dose adjustments are based solely on clinical experience of risk toxicity, treatment failure, and emergence of resistance, there is an urgent clinical need to perform therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) to optimize the use of polymyxin B. It is thus necessary to standardize operating procedures to ensure the accuracy of TDM and provide evidence for their rational use. We report a consensus on TDM guidelines for polymyxin B, as endorsed by the Infection and Chemotherapy Committee of the Shanghai Medical Association and the Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Committee of the Chinese Pharmacological Society. The consensus panel was composed of clinicians, pharmacists, and microbiologists from different provinces in China and Australia who made recommendations regarding target concentrations, sample collection, reporting, and explanation of TDM results. The guidelines provide the first-ever consensus on conducting TDM of polymyxin B, and are intended to guide optimal clinical use.

The aquatic grass Zizania latifolia grows symbiotically with the fungus Ustilago esculenta producing swollen structures called Jiaobai, widely cultivated in China. A new disease of Z. latifolia was found in Zhejiang Province, China. Initial lesions appeared on the leaf sheaths or sometimes on the leaves near the leaf sheaths. The lesions extended along the axis of the leaf shoots and formed long brown to dark brown streaks from the leaf sheath to the leaf, causing sheath rot and death of entire leaves on young plants. The pathogen was isolated and identified as the bacterium Pantoea ananatis, based on 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing, multilocus sequence analysis (atpD (β-subunit of ATP synthase F1), gyrB (DNA gyrase subunit B), infB (translation initiation factor 2), and rpoB (β‍-subunit of RNA polymerase) genes), and pathogenicity tests. Ultrastructural observations using scanning electron microscopy revealed that the bacterial cells colonized the vascular tissues in leaf sheaths, forming biofilms on the inner surface of vessel walls, and extended between vessel elements via the perforated plates. To achieve efficient detection and diagnosis of P. ananatis, species-specific primer pairs were designed and validated by testing closely related and unrelated species and diseased tissues of Z. latifolia. This is the first report of bacterial sheath rot disease of Z. latifolia caused by P. ananatis in China.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the expression of SF3B1, UBE2V2, SETD2 and osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF) in elderly patients.Methods:Peripheral blood samples were collected from 31 elderly patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures (VF group) and 16 elderly patients with osteoporotic non-vertebral fractures (NVF group) in Yantai Mountain Hospital. RNA was extracted for transcriptome sequencing to screen for differentially expressed genes. VF related genes were screened by Gene Ontology (GO) analysis, protein protein interaction (PPI) network analysis and ROC curve analysis. Qrt-pcr was used to detect gene expression levels.Results:Compared with NVF group, 691 genes were up-regulated while 131 genes were down regulatedin VF group. qRT-PCR results revealed that, compared with NVF patients (1.55±0.33) (1.70±0.33) (1.64±0.33) , SF3B1 (1.83±0.23) ( t=2.84, P=0.008) , UBE2V2 (2.24±0.43) ( t=3.91, P<0.001) expression were increased while SETD2 (1.18±0.46) ( t=3.25, P=0.003) expression was decreased in peripheral blood of VF patients. ROC curve analysis showed that the AUCs of SF3B1, UBE2V2 and SETD2 in VF were 0.8034 ( P=0.007) , 0.8145 ( P=0.005) and 0.7863 ( P=0.0014) , respectively. Conclusion:SF3B1, UBE2V2 and SETD2 are highly correlated with OVF in elderly patients, and are of great value in the diagnosis and prediction of OVF.

Premature infants are multisystem immature and more prone to extravasation injury of intravenous drugs than mature neonates. Extravasation injury will not only increase the pain of children, prolong hospital stay, increase medical expenses, but also cause limb dysfunction in children, and even leave them disabled. In view of the lack of professional guidelines and consensus on the treatment of extravasation injury in premature infants by intravenous treatment, clinical nurses have certain difficulties in the prevention and treatment of extravasation injury in premature infants. This article reviews the evaluation of risk factors, assessment and management for extravasation injury in premature infants, aiming to provide a practical basis for clinical practice and provide a reference for further development of prevention and treatment strategies.

Since microdroplets are able to be generated rapidly in large amount and each droplet can be well controlled as an independent micro-cultivator, droplet microfluidic technology can be potentially used in the culture of microorganisms, and provide the microbial culture with high throughput manner. But its application mostly stays in the laboratory-level building and using for scientific research, and the wide use of droplet microfluidics in microbial technology has been limited by the key problems that the operation for microdroplets needs high technical requirements with wide affecting factors and the difficulties in integration of automatic microdroplet instrumentation. In this study, by realizing and integrating the complicated operations of droplet generation, cultivation, detection, splitting, fusion and sorting, we design a miniaturized, fully automated and high-throughput microbial microdroplet culture system (MMC). The MMC can be widely used in microbial growth curve test, laboratory adaptive evolution, single factor and multi-level analysis of microbial culture, metabolite detection and so on, and provide a powerful instrument platform for customized microbial evolution and screening aiming at efficient strain engineering.

Objective:To investigate the prognosis of severe hyperbilirubinemia in full-term infants who met the exchange transfusion criteria and were treated by blood exchange transfusion and phototherapy.Methods:A total of 168 full-term infants with severe hyperbilirubinemia who met the criteria for exchange transfusion and were hospitalized in the Neonatology Department of seven tertiary hospitals in Hebei Province from June 2017 to December 2018 were retrospectively included. According to the treatment protocol, they were divided into two groups: exchange transfusion group (38 cases) and phototherapy group (130 cases). Two independent sample t-test and Chi-square test were used to compare the clinical manifestations and follow-up results between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for poor prognosis. Results:Neonatal severe hyperbilirubinemia in the exchange transfusion and phototherapy group were both mainly caused by hemolytic disease [42.1%(16/38) and 29.2%(38/130)], sepsis [28.9%(11/38) and 11.5%(15/130)] and early-onset breastfeeding jaundice [15.8%(6/38) and 11.5%(15/130)]. Total serum bilirubin level on admission in the exchange transfusion group was significantly higher than that in the phototherapy group [(531.7±141.3) vs (440.0±67.4) μmol/L, t=3.870, P<0.001]. Moreover, the percentage of patients with mild, moderate and severe acute bilirubin encephalopathy in the exchange transfusion group were higher than those in the phototherapy group [15.8%(6/38) vs 3.8%(5/130), 7.9%(3/38) vs 0.8%(1/130), 13.2%(5/38) vs 0.0%(0/130); χ2=29.119, P<0.001]. Among the 168 patients, 135 were followed up to 18-36 months of age and 12 showed poor prognosis (developmental retardation or hearing impairment) with four in the exchange transfusion group (12.9%, 4/31) and eight in the phototherapy group (7.7%, 8/104). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that for full-term infants with severe hyperbilirubinemia who met the exchange transfusion criteria, phototherapy alone without blood exchange transfusion as well as severe ABE were risk factors for poor prognosis ( OR=14.407, 95% CI: 1.101-88.528, P=0.042; OR=16.561, 95% CI: 4.042-67.850, P<0.001). Conclusions:Full-term infants who have severe hyperbilirubinemia and meet the exchange transfusion criteria should be actively treated with blood exchange transfusion, especially for those with severe ABE, so as to improve the prognosis.
