Accuracy of Polymerase Chain Reaction Based Assays for Trichomonas Vaginitis:A Meta-Analysis / 现代检验医学杂志

Objective To investigate the accuracy of polymerase chain reaction(PCR)based assays for Trichomonas Vaginitis.Methods The research literature on the detection of TV based on PCR method since the establishment of the database to May 30,2023 was retrieved from China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform,VIP Database and PubMed Database.After literature screening and data extraction,Meta-analysis was performed using software RevMan 5.4.1 and web service Meta-Disc 2.0.Results A total of 36 literatures and 16 454 clinical samples were included.The results of meta-analysis showed that the combined sensitivity and specificity of polymerase chain reaction for the detection of TV were 0.972(0.943,0.987)and 0.979(0.968,0.986),respectively,the diagnostic odds ratio was 1 643.398(673.168,4 012.008),the positive likelihood ratio was 46.209(30.549,69.897),and the negative likelihood ratio was 0.028(0.013,0.059).Subgroup analysis showed that clinical samples of different genders would not affect the accuracy of polymerase chain reaction,but the accuracy of different PCR detection methods was different.Conclusion The accuracy of polymerase chain reaction in the detection of TV was high and it has good application value.

The clinical features of patients with Parkinson's disease with chronic pain and its correlation with cognitive function / 中国基层医药

Objective To study clinical features of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD)with chronic pain and its correlation with cognitive function.Methods 100 PD patients with chronic pain were selected as the observa-tion group.100 PD patients without chronic pain were selected as disease control group.90 healthy subjects with pain were selected as control group.Statistical and clinical features of PD patients with pain,and the relationship between cognitive function were made.Results 100 patients with chronic pain with PD skeletal muscle pain in 42 cases (42.0%),motility pain in 23 cases (23.0%),23 cases of nerve root pain (23.0%),9 cases of central pain (9.0%),akathisia in 3 patients (3.0%);Control pain in patients with chronic pain with part mainly in the head and neck and the waist,PD patients with chronic pain with mainly in the limbs,pain in the two groups the incidence of head and neck pain,waist pain,limb pain had statistical differences (χ2 =10.017,4.990,21.770,all P 0.05).Conclusion PD associated with chronic pain is given priority to with skeletal muscle pain,PD associated with chronic pain pain is different from normal people,PD associated with chronic pain has influence on daily life, sleep quality and depression of patients bad feelings,PD associated with chronic pain are closely related to the depres-sion and cognitive dysfunction of patients.Cognitive and emotional disorders may be involved in the pathogenesis of chronic pain.

Effects of astragalus polysaccharide on intestinal immune function of rats with severe scald injury / 中华烧伤杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effects of astragalus polysaccharide (AP) on the intestinal mucosal morphology, level of secretory IgA (s-IgA) in intestinal mucus, and distribution of T lymphocyte subsets in Peyer's patch in rats with severe scald injury.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>One hundred and thirty SD rats were divided into sham injury group (SI, sham injured, n = 10), scald group (S, n = 30), low dosage group (LD, n = 30), moderate dosage group (MD, n = 30), and high dosage group (HD, n = 30) according to the random number table. Rats in the latter 4 groups were inflicted with 30% TBSA full-thickness scald on the back. From post injury hour 2, rats in groups LD, MD, and HD were intraperitoneally injected with 0.5 mL AP solution with the dosage of 100, 200, and 300 mg/kg each day respectively, and rats in group S were injected with 0.5 mL normal saline instead. Ten rats from group SI immediately after injury and 10 rats from each of the latter 4 groups on post injury day (PID) 3, 7, 14 were sacrificed, and their intestines were harvested. The morphology of ileal mucosa was examined after HE staining; the level of s-IgA in ileal mucus was determined with double-antibody sandwich ELISA method; the proportions of CD3⁺, CD4⁺, CD8⁺ T lymphocytes in Peyer's patches of intestine were determined with flow cytometer, and the proportion of CD4⁺ to CD8⁺ was calculated. Data were processed with one-way analysis of variance, analysis of variance of factorial design, and SNK test.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>(1) Villi in normal form and intact villus epithelial cells were observed in rats of group SI immediately after injury, while edema of villi and necrosis and desquamation of an enormous amount of villi were observed in groups with scalded rats on PID 3, with significant infiltration of inflammatory cells. On PID 7, no obvious improvement in intestinal mucosal lesion was observed in groups with scalded rats. On PID 14, the pathology in intestinal mucosa of rats remained nearly the same in group S, and it was alleviated obviously in groups LD and MD, and the morphology of intestinal mucosa of rats in group HD was recovered to that of group SI. (2) On PID 3, 7, and 14, the level of s-IgA in intestinal mucus significantly decreased in groups S, LD, MD, and HD [(43 ± 5), (45 ± 5), (46 ± 5) µg/mL; (47 ± 5), (48 ± 5), (49 ± 6) µg/mL; (50 ± 6), (51 ± 5), (52 ± 5) µg/mL; (53 ± 6), (54 ± 5), (55 ± 5) µg/mL] as compared with that of rats in group SI immediately after injury [(69 ± 4) µg/mL, with P values below 0.05]. The level of s-IgA in intestinal mucus of rats in group MD was significantly higher than that in group S at each time point (with P values below 0.05), and that of group HD was significantly higher than that in groups S and LD at each time point (with P values below 0.05). (3) Compared with those of rats in group SI immediately after injury, the proportions of CD3⁺ T lymphocytes and CD4⁺ T lymphocytes significantly decreased in groups with scalded rats at each time point (with P values below 0.05), except for those in group HD on PID 14. The proportion of CD4⁺ T lymphocytes of rats in group LD was significantly higher than that in group S on PID 3 (P < 0.05). The proportions of CD3⁺ T lymphocytes and CD4⁺ T lymphocytes were significantly higher in groups MD and HD than in groups S and LD (except for the proportion of CD4⁺ T lymphocytes in group MD on PID 3 and 14) at each time point (with P values below 0.05). The proportion of CD3⁺ T lymphocytes on PID 7 and 14 and that of CD4⁺ T lymphocytes on PID 3 were significantly higher in group HD than in group MD (with P values below 0.05). Compared with that of rats in group SI immediately after injury, the proportion of CD8⁺ T lymphocytes significantly increased in the other 4 groups at each time point (with P values below 0.05). The proportion of CD8⁺ T lymphocytes was significantly lower in rats of group LD on PID 7 and 14 and groups MD and HD at each time point than in group S (with P values below 0.05). The proportion of CD8⁺ T lymphocytes was significantly lower in rats of group MD on PID 7 and 14 and group HD at each time point than in group LD (with P values below 0.05). The proportion of CD8⁺ T lymphocytes was significantly lower in rats of group HD on PID 7 and 14 than in group MD (with P values below 0.05). On PID 3, 7, and 14, the proportion of CD4⁺ to CD8⁺ was significantly lower in groups S, LD, MD, and HD (0.65 ± 0.11, 0.68 ± 0.13, 0.73 ± 0.22; 0.76 ± 0.15, 0.78 ± 0.14, 0.90 ± 0.10; 0.85 ± 0.21, 0.89 ± 0.18, 1.08 ± 0.19; 0.99 ± 0.20, 1.05 ± 0.21, 1.25 ± 0.23) as compared with that of rats in group SI immediately after injury (1.74 ± 0.20, with P values below 0.05). The proportion of CD4⁺ to CD8⁺ was significantly higher in rats of group HD than in group MD on PID 7 (P < 0.05), and the proportion was significantly higher in these two groups than in group S at each time point (with P values below 0.05). The proportion of CD4⁺ to CD8⁺ was significantly higher in rats of group MD on PID 14 and group HD at each time point than in group LD (with P values below 0.05). Compared within each group, the proportions of CD3⁺, CD4⁺, CD8⁺ T lymphocytes and the proportion of CD4⁺ to CD8⁺ of rats in groups LD, MD, and HD showed a trend of gradual elevation along with passage of time.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>AP can improve the injury to intestinal mucosa and modulate the balance of T lymphocyte subsets in Peyer's patch in a time- and dose-dependent manner, and it can promote s-IgA secretion of intestinal mucosa in a dose-dependent manner.</p>

Effects of acute alcoholism on blood gas analysis in rabbits / 中国现代医生

[Abstrcat] Objective To study the effects of acute alcoholism on blood gas analysis in rabbits. Methods Forty New Zelanian big-ear rabbits were divided into four groups randomly. The control group (Group A), the hemorrhagic shock group (Group B), the acute alcoholism group (Group C)and the acute alcoholism and hemorrhagic shock combination group (Group D). Results The volume of blood of Group D was less than Group B. The volume of lipid of Group D needed more. pH and PaO2 of Group D and Group B were decreased than Group A, PaCO2 and lactic acid were risen in the shock and recovered. pH and PaO2 of D Group were decreased than B Group, PaCO2 and lactic acid of D Group were risen than Group B. pH, PaO2, PaCO2 and lactic acid for different time and different group weren’t statistically significant. There was no interaction of pH, PaO2, PaCO2 and lactic acid in different time and different group. Conclusion It will achieved acidosis and decrease in partial pressure of oxygen after hemorrhagic shock. Acute alcoholism can aggravate them.
