Objective:To construct a Chinese neonatal model of early-onset sepsis (EOS) using the Kaiser Permanente sepsis risk calculator and laboratory indicators and validate its clinical prediction potential.Methods:Newborns with a gestational age of ≥34 weeks, who were hospitalized in the Department of Neonatology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2020 to June 2022 were retrospectively recruited.Their clinical data were collected.Predictors were screened via the multivariate regression analysis, and the Nomogram model was constructed using R software and RStudio software.Hosmer-Lemeshow test, receiver operating characteristic curve, the decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the prediction potential of the Nomogram.Results:A total of 769 patients were enrolled, including 107 patients in the EOS group (5 culture-confirmed cases and 102 clinically diagnosed cases), and 662 cases in the non-EOS group.Ten variables were screened and introduced into the Nomogram, including the gestational age, birth weight, body temperature, white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, premature rupture of membranes≥18 h, infection of Group B Streptococcus, ventilator application, and prenatal antibiotics.The predictive model showed good discrimination and consistency, with the area under the curve of 0.834 (95% CI: 0.771-0.896). The DCA of the prediction model showed that it was effective in clinical application within the effective threshold of 6%-95%, with a net benefit following the application of corresponding treatment measures. Conclusions:A Chinese neonatal model of EOS was created by using the Kaiser Permanente sepsis risk calculator and laboratory indicators, which has been validated effective.It provides references for clinical management and the guidance for the use of antibiotics.

Objective@#To introduce the method of galvanic vestibular stimulation-vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (GVS-VEMP) as well as to observe and analyze the parameters and elicited rate of GVS-cVEMP and GVS-oVEMP in healthy young people in China.@*Methods@#Twenty six normal young subjects were recruited for conventional examinations of GVS-VEMP. The subjects were 21-37 years old, average age was (25.8±3.7) years old, including 13 males and 13 females. The galvanic stimulation intensity of 3 mA/1 ms was used to evoke cVEMP and oVEMP on the sternocleidomastoid and inferior extraocular muscles respectively, and the intensity of stimulus was decreased until the response disappeared, the threshold, latency, amplitude, interval phase and interaural amplitude ratio(IAR) were calculated. SPSS18.0 software was used for statistical analysis.@*Results@#All subjects were elicited normal GVS-cVEMP and GVS-oVEMP under 3 mA/1 ms, the elicited rate was 100%. The threshold of GVS-cVEMP was (1.18±0.47) mA, p1 latency was (10.43±1.54) ms, n1 latency was (17.91±1.20) ms, the amplitude was (102.47±56.77) uV and IAR was (0.26±0.20). The threshold of GVS-oVEMP was (1.12±0.50) mA, n1 latency was (8.46±1.05) ms, p1 latency was (11.83±1.27) ms, the amplitude was (9.12±6.82) uV and IAR was (0.25±0.20). In terms of gender and lateral comparison, only the GVS-oVEMP amplitude was higher for male than for female, which had significant statistical difference (P<0.05), and there was no statistical difference in the other parameters between GVS-cVEMP and GVS-oVEMP.@*Conclusion@#GVS-cVEMP and GVS-oVEMP could be elicited in healthy youth population, and the parameters could provide reference for subsequent vestibular function evaluation.

Objective@#To observe the parameters of the results of suppression head impulse paradigm (SHIMP) in healthy adults, and to provide reference for evaluating vestibular oculomotor reflex function in patients with peripheral vertigo.@*Methods@#Fifty healthy adults, 22 males and 28 females, aged from 23-65 years, with an average age of (38.5±11.6) years, were recruited from January to March 2018. Parameters provided by the video head pulse software included the gains, the latency and the peak velocity of saccades, and comparison was made with head impulse paradigm (HIMP).@*Results@#All subjects were elicited anti-compensatory saccades in SHIMP. The normal values of left and right gains were 1.02 and 1.10 in HIMP, and 0.93 and 1.01 in SHIMP respectively. The left and right saccades latency were (201.1± 50.8)ms and (187.0± 42.9)ms, and the peak saccadic velocity were (302.7±58.5)°/s and (291.5±46.5)°/s in SHIMP; there were small but significant difference between two sides about gains in HIMP and SHIMP, as well as latency in SHIMP(P<0.05); there were small but significant difference between HIMP and SHIMP about gains in ipsilateral(P<0.01); there were no significant difference between two sides about peak saccadic velocity in SHIMP(P>0.05).@*Conclusions@#SHIMP can be used for the examination of vestibular oculomotor reflex function in adult population. It is easy to be operated and is convenient for clinical application. Combined with head pulse test, the function of the semicircular canal can be evaluated together.

Objective The high energy ion bombardment technique is applied to enhancing the adhesion of the tetrahedral amorphous carbon (TAC) films deposited by the filtered cathode vacuum arc (FCVA). Methods The abrasion method, scratch method, heating and shaking method as well as boiling salt solution method is used to test the adhesion of the TAC films on various material substrates. Results The test results show that the adhesion is increased as the ion bombardment energy increases. However, if the bombardment energy were over the corresponding optimum value, the adhesion would be enhanced very slowly for the harder material substrates and drops quickly, for the softer ones. Conclusion The optimum values of the ion bombardment energy are larger for the harder materials than that for the softer ones.
