Objective To summarize the diagnosis and treatment experience of surgical site infection(SSI)after percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy(PELD).Methods A retrospective analysis was made on 11 cases of postoperative SSI after PELD from January 2016 to December 2022.After PELD surgery,severe lower back or lower limb pain occurred in all the patients,with a Visual Analog Scale(VAS)score of 7-9(average,8.1).The erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)was 17-114 mm/h(average,54.4 mm/h),and the level of C-reactive protein(CRP)was 8-151 mg/L(average,56.5 mg/L).The MRI showed changes of inflammatory signals in the intervertebral space of the surgical area.The SSI was diagnosed at 2-17 d(average,9.5 d)after PELD surgery.All the cases were treated with antibiotics(4 cases with empiric antibiotic therapy and 7 cases with sensitive antibiotic treatment),8 of which underwent combined surgery,including percutaneous endoscopic lesion removal,catheter irrigation and drainage in 4 cases,posterior lesion removal in 2 cases,and posterior lesion removal combined with internal fixation in 2 cases.Results The patients were followed up for 14-75 months(average,36.8 months).According to the modified MacNab criteria,5 cases were excellent,4 cases were good,and 2 cases were fair.Conclusions SSI after PELD is characterized by acute onset,recurrent severe lower back or lower limb pain,elevated inflammatory markers,and characteristic imaging features.Standardized antibiotic treatment combined with surgery can achieve good therapeutic effects.

【Objective】 To observe the characteristics and correlation analysis of thromboelastogram (TEG) and platelet related indexes in patients with preeclampsia in late pregnancy. 【Methods】 88 patients with preeclampsia in late pregnancy treated in the Obstetrics Department of Shanghai Ninth People′s Hospital (Northern Hospital) from June 2017 to June 2020 were selected as observation group, and 288 normal pregnant women in late pregnancy with normal prenatal examination were selected as the control. The median elbow vein blood of the two groups were sampled. The TEG and coagulation related indexes of the two groups were compared, and the relationship between TEG and coagulation related indexes in patients with preeclampsia were analyzed. 【Results】 The K, MA, TT, INR and PLT value in the observation group, relative to controls, were significantly higher (P<0.01), but Angle, PT, and APTT value were significantly lower (P<0.01). The variance K and MA were negatively correlated with PT and APTT (P<0.05), but positively correlated with TT, INR and Plt (P<0.05). Angle was positively correlated with PT and APTT (P<0.05), but negatively correlated with TT, INR and Plt(P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Routine TEG detection can effectively evaluate the coagulation state of patients with preeclampsia, who are often accompanied by coagulation dysfunction, help to guide clinical early prevention and intervention, and reduce the risk of perinatal hemorrhage and embolism diseases, which is worthy of popularizing in clinical.

Objective:To verify the effect of ozone on Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) colonization in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) and its correlation with the patient's status.Methods:A total of 12 patients with moderate or severe AD,aged from 6 to 65 years,were recruited from outpatient of the Third Xiangya Hospital.The treatment sides were showered with ozonated water and smeared with ozonated oil for 7 days (twice a day),while the control sides were washed with warm running water and smeared with base oil.At different time points,the severity scoring ofatopic dermatitis (SCORAD) scores,sleep and pruritus scores were assessed and compared between the two sides.Meanwhile,plate cultivation was used to quantitatively detect the changes ofS.aureus colonization in skin lesions.Results:After 7 days treatment,erythema and pimples were decreased in the treatment sides.The clear skin texture,smooth skin,improved skin lesions were also observed by dermoscopic examination.The results of reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) demonstrated that the parakeratosis was improved,the structures were clearer,and the inflammatory cells infiltration was reduced after ozone treatment for 7 days.After ozone treatment for 3 and 7 days,the S.aureus colonization in the treatment sides decreased by (75.55±21.81)% and (97.24±2.64)% respectively.Compared to that of control sides,the percentage of S.aureus colony after ozone treatment for 7 days decreased significantly (P<0.01).After ozone treatment for 7 days,the SCORAD scores,sleep and pruritus scores were significantly decreased (all P<0.01).There was a linear correlation between the decreasing percentage of S.aureus colony and the declining percentage of SCORAD scores in AD patients.Conclusion:Topical ozone therapy can effectively reduce S.aureus colony in skin lesions and alleviate the severity of AD patients with moderate to severe degree.

Objective To explore the risk factors for postoperative hypoxemia in patients undergoing Stanford type A aortic dissection surgery.Methods The clinical data of 77 patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection surgery were analyzed retrospectively.Among the patients, 40 patients occurred hypoxemia(hypoxemia group),and 37 patients did not occur hypoxemia(non-hypoxemia group).The preoperative,intraoperative and postoperative clinical data were compared between 2 groups,and the independent risk factors for postoperative hypoxemia were analyzed by multiple Logistic regression analysis.Results The incidence of postoperative hypoxemia in patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection was 51.9% (40/77).The multiple Logistic regression analysis result showed that age (OR =1.088,95% CI 1.018-1.164,P=0.013),body mass index≥25 kg/m2(OR=6.495,95% CI 1.327-31.789,P=0.021),pericardial effusion(OR=6.384,95% CI 1.426-28.576,P=0.015),white blood cell count(OR=1.289,95% CI 1.033-1.609,P=0.024)and using recombinant human coagulationⅦa (OR = 23.757, 95% CI 2.849 - 198.085, P = 0.003) were the independent predictive factors for postoperative hypoxemia in patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection.Conclusions The postoperative hypoxemia in patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection is related with perioperative systemic inflammation, especially in obese patients who should be given anti-inflammatory treatment during perioperative period.Control of bleeding and reducing the recombinant human coagulationⅦa as far as possible can reduce the incidence of postoperative hypoxemia.

Objective To construct a fusion protein to transfect some cell lines that were difficult to be transfected such as neoplastic cells, nerve cells, stem cells. Methods PCR was performed to amplified protein transductions domain(PTD),G4S and streptavidin (Strep).Enzymatic digestion and ligation were used to construct pAYZ-PTD-Strep plasmid. Fusion protein was induced to express by AP5 medium and was isolated by E-tag affinity chromatography. Fusion protein was identified by Western blot. eGFP was trasfected into U937 cells by pAYZ-PTD-Strep. FACS was performed to detect transfection percentage. Results Fusion protein PTD-G4S-Strep was expressed as soluble protein.The concentration of fusion protein was about 0.7 mg/L,and purity was over 90 %. The protein could carry plasmid into a suspended cell line, U937 cells. The transfection-efficiency of protein was higher than monometer PTD.Conclusion The protein PAYZ-PTD-Strep could carry macromolecules into blood tumor cells,and its biological activity may be expected to develop into a highly efficient and reliable transfection method.

Objective To investigate the effects and the mechanism of tirofiban administration in myocardial ischemical reperfusion injury(MIRI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). Method The study included 158 STEMI Patients who accepted primary PCI therapy and were randomly (random number) divided into two groups: tirofiban administration group and control group. Incidence of MIRI during PCI, Correct TIMI frame count(CTFC), ST segment resolution(STR), peak value and peak time of MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase( CK-MB), and incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during 30 days postoperation in both groups were measured. Results Tirofiban administration group was superior to control group in terms of incidence of MIRI, CTFC, STR, peak value and peak time of CK-MB, and incidence of MACE during 30 days postoperation (P < 0.05). Multiple factor logistic regression analysis indicated that intravenous tirofiban administration before primary PCI was the independently protective factor for MIRI. Conclusions Intravenous tirofiban administration in patients with STEMI before primary PCI can significantly decrease the incidence of MIRI,reduce myocardial damage and improve the prognosis.
