Establishment of the Risk Prediction Model for Significant Bacteriuria in Adult Patients with Automated Urine Analysis.

INTRODUCTION: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) have been proven to be the most encountered bacterial infection in humans. We hope to establish a prediction model for significant bacteriuria by comprehensively analyzing the relevant parameters of age, gender, and urine automatic analysis data. METHODS: A retrospective study was performed at Tai'an Central Hospital. All samples included in the study were tested for urine culture and urine automatic analysis. Data analysis was conducted with the SPSS. RESULTS: The binary logistic regression module is used to establish the forecast formula, which gender, age, leukocyte count, bacterial count, leukocyte esterase, and nitrite were included. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves showed that the area under ROC curve (AUC) of the prediction model was 0.878, bigger than the AUCs of the other 6 independent variables. The sensitivity and specificity of prediction model were 61.68 and 95.98%, respectively. The positive and the negative predictive values of the predictive model are 87.13 and 85.02%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The prediction formula obtained in our study can achieve good prediction effect for significant bacteriuria, which can effectively avoid the treatment delay or antibiotic abuse caused by the subjective judgment of doctors.

Synthetic biology for the synthesis of mogroside V - a review / 生物工程学报

Mogroside V, a component with high content and sweetness in mogrosides, has many pharmacological activities such as relieving cough, reducing sputum, anti-cancer, anti-oxidation, regulating blood sugar, making it a natural nonsugar sweetener with therapeutic functions, and showing a broad market prospect. However, the limited resources and high extraction costs have restricted its widespread use. The rapid development of synthetic biology has provided a new idea for the production of plant natural products. The low-cost and large-scale production will be realized through the construction of a microbial cell factory for mogroside V. Here, we briefly introduce the structure and pharmacological activity of mogroside V, and review progress in applying synthetic biology for its synthesis, and also discuss the challenges faced by the current research, to provide a reference for further studies on the biosynthesis of mogroside V.

Comparative clinical efficacy of different surgical treatment on cholesteatoma otitis media / 重庆医学

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of different surgical treatment on cholesteatoma otitis media and analy‐sis its differences .Methods Totally 100 cases of patients with cholesteatoma otitis media in hospital were divided into two groups , 50 cacse in each group ,the control group used open mastoidectomy for treatment ,the experimental group used complete bi‐style mastoidectomy ,and the postoperative clinical efficacy were observed .Results The experimental group patients after radical mas‐toidectomy complete bi‐style treatment ,air conduction hearing threshold (26 .89 ± 7 .23)dBHL and gas bone conduction (12 .54 ± 3 .78)dBHL were significantly lower than after open radical mastoidectomy treatment of patients in the control group (41 .38 ± 10 .56)dBHL and gas bone conduction (22 .57 ± 5 .96)dBHL(P<0 .05);after different surgical treatment ,the cholesteatoma otitis media total efficiency (92 .00% ) of experimental group was significantly higher than control group (64 .00% ) ( P< 0 .05 ) . Conclusion The complete bi‐style mastoidectomy is the treatment of cholesteatoma otitis media ,which can effectively repair dam‐aged eardrum ,restore patient hearing to the maximum extent ,help to restore patient′s disease and improve the quality of life of pa‐tients .

Expressions of SMG-1, ATM and P53 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and their clinical significance / 南方医科大学学报

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To detect the expression of SMG-1, ATM and P53 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and their correlation with the clinicopathological features and outcomes of the patients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Sixty-three specimens of surgically resected LSCC tissues and 30 specimens of adjacent normal tissue were examined for the expressions of ATM, SMG-1 and P53 using immunohistochemistry. The correlation of ATM, SMG-1 and P53 expressions with the clinicopathological factors and their interactions were analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The positive expression rates of SMG-1, ATM and P53 in LSCC were 36.5% (23/63) , 41.3% (26/63) and 57.1% (36/63) respectively, significantly different from those in the adjacent tissue (73.3%, 83.3% and 20.0%, respectively; P<0.05). The expression of SMG-1 in LSCC was positively correlated with the pathological grade and T stage of the tumors (P<0.05), and ATM and P53 were not related to the clinicopathological factors (P>0.05). The 5-year survival rate of patients negative for SMG-1 expression was significantly higher than that of SMG-1-positive patients (P<0.05). The expression of SMG-1 was negatively correlated with that of P53 (r=-0.476, P<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>SMG-1, ATM and P53 are closely related to the occurrence of LSCC. SMG-1 expression is an important factor associated with the clinicopathological features and prognosis of LSCC patients, and may play an important role in the development of LSCC by regulating P53 expression.</p>

Analysis of 63 patients with laryngeal carcinoma / 实用医学杂志

Objective To investigate the survival rate and its prognostic factors of laryngeal carcinoma. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 63 cases of laryngeal carcinoma. A total of 7 clinicopathologic factors were studied by univariate analysis and Cox multivariate model. Results The overall cumulative survival rate was 69.8% at 3 years,54.0%at 5 years.In univariate analysis, the survival was related to location of the tumor(P 0.05). In Cox multivariate model, T status (P < 0.01) and N status (P < 0.01) were independent prognostic factors. Conclusions T and N status were independent prognostic factors for patients with laryngeal carcinoma. Early detection and treatment should be given to improve the survival of patients.

Analysis of inhaled allergens in the patients with chronic rhinosinusitis in Hainan province / 实用医学杂志

Objective To understand the distribution of inhaled allergens throughout Hainan province and explore effective preventive measures against allergen by examining the serum allergen of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), which will provide evidence for specific immunotherapy for treating CRS. Methods Three hundred and eighteen CRS patients underwent Phadiatop blood test by using the UniCAP 100 , a completely automatic autoanalyser. Allergen-specific IgE of 7 common allergens were tested and the concentration of total immunoglobulin E (TIgE) was collected and evaluated. Results The positive rates of the serum TIgE and inhaled allergens were 64.15% and 37.74% respectively. The incidences of the positive serum SIgE is 33.96%. Among the positive cases, 28.30% of the inhaled allergens were dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, 27.36% for tropical mites, 21.07% for dermatophagoides farinae, 13.52% for cockroach, 11. 64% for house dust, 7. 86% for cat dander and 0.63% for dog dander. The incidences of positive TIgE and SIgE were not significantly different between patients with nasal polyps and sinusitis only. Conclusions Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, tropical mites and dermatophagoides farinae are the main inhaled allergens for CRS patients in Hainan.
