Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of intracranial infection caused by Mycobacterium lentiflavum. Methods:The clinical data of a patient with intracranial infection caused by Mycobacterium lentiflavum admitted to Tianjin Haihe Hospital in May 2023 were collected. Meanwhile relevant literatures in databases were searched. Only 1 English literature (1 patient) was obtained. The clinical characteristics of this patient and the case reported in the literature were analyzed and summarized. Results:Totally 2 patients, including this case, and the patient with meningoencephalitis caused by Mycobacterium lentiflavum reported in the literature, both are females, 42 and 55 years old respectively, both manifested a chronic course, without fever, and presented progressive headache and cognitive impairment. Clinical manifestations also included abnormal mental behavior, limb weakness, and seizure. At the early stage, only intracranial pressure increased, and cerebrospinal fluid tests were negative. As the disease aggravated, there was an elevation of cerebrospinal fluid cells and protein, with normal levels of glucose and chloride. Using brain tissue obtained by biopsy for polymerase chain reaction or next-generation sequencing examination, the pathogenic microorganism was confirmed, which made accurate diagnosis possible. Antibiotic treatment had good efficacy, with a long treatment course and a good prognosis. Conclusions:Central nervous system infection caused by Mycobacterium lentiflavum is very rare, and a chronic disease course makes diagnosis very difficult. The treatment effect is significant, and the prognosis is excellent.

Objective To evaluate the long-term efficacy of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)inhibitor(TNFi)in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis(AS)complicated with osteoporosis(OP)and the impact on bone metabolism,bone density,and inflammatory factors.Methods The data of 158 patients with AS and OP,who were admitted to Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University(Second Military Medical University)from Jan.1,2010 to Dec.31,2017,were retrospectively collected.The patients were divided into bisphosphonate group(n=54),TNFi group(n=58),and TNFi+bisphosphonate group(n=46)according to the treatment methods.All patients were treated with calcium combined with calcitriol as the background treatment.After 5 years of treatment,Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index(BASDAI)and Bath ankylosing spondylitis functional index(BASFI)scores were evaluated,and inflammatory indexes,bone metabolism markers,and bone mineral density were detected.Results After 5 years of treatment,the BASDAI and BASFI scores,erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),C reactive protein(CRP),TNF-α,and interleukin-17A of the TNFi+bisphosphonate group and TNFi group were significantly lower than those before treatment(all P＜0.05);in the bisphosphonate group only ESR and CRP were significantly lower than those before treatment(both P＜0.05),and the other inflammatory indexes and BASDAI and BASFI scores showed no significant changes(all P＞0.05).The bone mineral density of the 3 groups after 5 years of treatment was significantly higher than that before treatment(all P＜0.05),and the bone mineral density of the TNFi+bisphosphonate group was significantly higher than that of the other 2 groups(both P＜0.05).After 5 years of treatment,the levels of parathyroid hormone(PTH),procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide(P1NP)and β-C-terminal telopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen(β-CTX)in the TNFi+bisphosphonate group and bisphosphonate group were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment(all P＜0.05),while the levels of N-terminal midfragment of osteocalcin(N-MID)and 25-hydroxy-vitamin D(25VitD)were significantly increased(all P＜0.05);in the TNFi group only PTH and P1NP levels were significantly decreased(both P＜0.05),while β-CTX,N-MID and 25VitD levels showed no significant differences(all P＞0.05).Conclusion Long-term use of TNFi in patients with AS and OP can effectively reduce disease activity,improve physical function,decrease the level of inflammatory factors,alleviate abnormal bone metabolism,and increase bone mineral density;and the combined use of TNFi and bisphosphonates has better efficacy.

Objective:To analyze clinical, immunopathological, therapeutic, and prognostic features of epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) .Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on patients with confirmed EBA at the Department of Dermatology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University from January 1, 2015 to July 30, 2022. Their clinical, immunopathological, therapeutic and prognostic features were analyzed. The autoimmune bullous skin disorder intensity score (ABSIS) was used to assess the severity of lesions in patients with EBA, and the visual analogue scale (VAS) to assess itch intensity. Descriptive statistical analysis was primarily carried out, and the correlation between disease severity scores and itch scores was analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis.Results:A total of 13 patients with EBA were included, including 9 males and 4 females, with the age at the clinic visit being 49.0 ± 20.6 years and ABSIS scores being 24.2 ± 10.7 points. One patient was diagnosed with classical EBA, while the remaining 12 patients with inflammatory EBA. Mucosal involvement was observed in 6 cases, whose oral mucosae were all affected. All patients had itching to varying degrees, with VAS scores of 5.6 ± 2.2 points; 9 of the 12 inflammatory EBA patients had VAS scores of ≥ 5 points, whereas 1 classical EBA patient had a VAS score of 2 points; there was no significant correlation between the ABSIS scores and VAS scores ( r = -0.02, P > 0.05). Histopathological examination showed subepidermal cleavages or blister formation and varying degrees of perivascular inflammatory cell infiltration in the superficial dermis of patients with inflammatory EBA. Direct immunofluorescence assay demonstrated linear IgG deposits along the basement membrane zone in all 13 patients, including 12 with concomitant linear C3 deposits in the basement membrane zone, 5 with linear IgA deposits, and 2 with IgM deposits. Indirect immunofluorescence on salt-split skin showed IgG deposition on the dermal side of the salt-split skin in the 13 patients. An elevated eosinophil count in the peripheral blood was observed in 1 out of 11 patients, while increased total IgE levels were noted in 3 out of 9 patients. Among the 13 EBA patients, 11 were treated with systemic glucocorticoids (equivalent to 10 - 100 mg/d of prednisone), and the other 2 were treated with compound glycyrrhizin tablets, sulfasalazine, hydroxychloroquine sulfate, and minocycline hydrochloride alone or in combination. During the follow-up period of 34.0 (27.5, 66.0) months in the 13 patients, 8 achieved complete remission after drug withdrawal, 2 achieved complete remission on therapy, 1 achieved partial remission on minimal therapy, and 2 presented with uncontrolled condition. The time to complete remission off/on therapy was 6.0 (3.8, 17.5) months. Conclusions:The inflammatory phenotype seems to be relatively common in EBA patients, with itching to varying degrees, and oral mucosa was the most commonly involved mucosa in those with mucosal damage. After treatment with systemic glucocorticoids alone or in combination with immunomodulators, most patients could achieve complete remission.

Background Aedes albopictus is the dominant mosquito species in residential areas in Shanghai. There are many types of small containers with accumulated water in residential areas, providing a large number of breeding environments for Aedes alpopicuts and leading to an increasing transmission risk of mosquito-borne diseases. Objective To use random forest to predict breeding of Aedes mosquitoes in small aquatic container habitat in two concentrated reconstruction communities of rural areas in Shanghai, and to understand associated influence of environmental factors on the breeding of Aedes mosquitoes in the process of urbanization.Methods Small-scale habitat surveys of Aedes mosquitoes were carried out in two suburb concentrated reconstruction communities (Community A and B) in Shanghai, and the environment where the habitat was located was recorded and analyzed in both communities. The habitat where eggs, larvae, or pupae were found was recorded as positive. Spatial weight matrix was applied on a household basis, and global Moran's I index was used to carry out spatial autocorrelation analysis on the small-scale habitat and positive habitat in the environment of the two communities. When Moran's I is greater than 0, it means that the data present a positive spatial correlation; when Moran's I is less than 0, it means that the data are spatially negatively correlated; when Moran's I is 0, the spatial distribution is random. Combining the results of P and Z values, we explored the spatial distribution characteristics of small-scale habitat and positive habitat in the community environment. Random forest algorithm in machine learning was used to classify and sort environmental-related factors, and predict the breeding of Aedes mosquitoes in small aquatic habitat; receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to carry out model fitting evaluation. Results The environmental factors including building location (χ²=23.35, P<0.001), open space (χ²=8.83, P=0.003), and having trees (χ²=11.02, P=0.001) had a significant impact on the positive rate of small-scale habitat. The results of spatial characteristics analysis showed that the global Moran's I index of small-scale habitat was −0.092 (Z=−1.09, P=0.274) in Community A and 0.034 (Z=0.52, P=0.602) in Community B, and the global Moran's I index of positive habitat was −0.092 (Z=−1.14, P=0.255) in Community A and 0.070 (Z=0.95, P=0.342) in Community B. Since the P values of Community A and B were greater than 0.1 and the Z values were between −1.65 and 1.65, for both small-scale habitat and positive habitat the spatial characteristics were randomly distributed and no significant spatial aggregation was found. In the fitted random forest algorithm classification prediction model with the top 10 characteristic factors of importance, the area under curve (AUC) value was 0.95, and the prediction fitting effect was satisfactory. The results of classification and sorting indicated that counts of household small-scale habitat and positive habitat were the most important factors for breeding. Conclusion The random forest model constructed by environmental factor indicators can be used to predict the breeding situation of Aedes mosquitoes in small-scale aquatic habitat, and provide a basis for scientific prevention and control of mosquito breeding for the target area.

Objective To explore the effect of acute endurance exercise on the balance control,maximum contraction of the back extensor and the anticipatory postural adjustments(APAs) and compensatory postural adjustments (CPAs) of the lumbar vertebra.Methods Seventeen male students from a police college participated in this study voluntarily.Three tests were performed right before and after the 10000 meters run:the single foot standing test with eyes closed,maximum contraction test of the back extensor and arm-rising test.The maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) of the back extensor and the time of standing with eyes closed were collected.The sEMG activities of lumbar erector spinae(LES) and Lumbar multifidus(LMF) as lumbar stable muscles were recorded.The pre-activation time and integrated EMG of APAs and CPAs were calculated.Results Before and after the 10000 meters run,no significant difference was observed in MVC,but the time of single foot standing decreased significantly.On the condition of the internal postural perturbation,the LES was activated significantly earlier and the APAs IEMG of LMF decreased significantly after the run,but no significant difference was observed in the pre-activation time of LMF and APAs IEMG of LES.The CPAs IEMG of LES and LMF both decreased significantly after the run.Conclusions The acute endurance exercise of 10000 meters run does not cause fatigue of lumbar stable muscles,but it has an effect on the performance of body balance control.It has effects on the postural control strategies of the central nerve system in response to the internal sudden postural perturbation,resulting in the earlier pre-activation of LES to compensate the decreased activation magnitude of LMF.

Objective To investigate the correlation between transformational leadership style and nurses' job satisfaction in emergency department.Method The survey was done among 168 emergency department nurses from 4 first class hospitals in Guangzhou by the demographic information,multifactor leadership questionnaire and Chinese nurses' job satisfaction scale to investigate the status of transformational leadership style perceived by nurses and nurses' job satisfaction in the emergency departments.Results The score of transformational leadership style perceived by the nurses in the emergency department was (50.60±14.40) and jop satisfaction was (79.80±13.30).The transformational leadership style was positively correlated with nurses' job satisfaction (P＜0.01).Conclusions The transformational leadership style is middle-high level.The nurses' job satisfaction is at low level,Nursing managers should play an active role in transformational leadership style to enhance nurses' job satisfaction in emergency departments.

BACKGROUND: There is no effective method to identify liver cancer stem cells until now, which has become one of the major challenges in this field. OBJECTIVE: To explore a more effective and suitable way for the identification of liver cancer stem cells in hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines. METHODS: Firstly, the single cell separation technique was used to obtain single cells, which were seeded into 96-wel plates one by one. Secondly, cell sublines derived from single cell colonies (tumorigenic colonies) were selected and obtained. At last, the cells from these clones were transplanted into the forelimb armpits of nude mice to observe the tumorigenic ability. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The number of holes of single cells obtained was 371 by the single cell separation technique, and the success rate was 96.4%. According to the growth of cell clone, tumorigenic colonies were selected to be transplanted to the forelimb armpits of nude mice, and the tumor formation rate of the colonies was 100%. The identification model of single-cell-transplant-tumorigenic-test for liver cancer stem cells is confirmed to be preliminarily established, which lays the technology and methodological basis for the follow-up research.
