RESUMO
Objective:To study the safety and feasibility of early enteral feeding during therapeutic hypothermia guided by intestinal ultrasound in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).Methods:From January 2019 to December 2021, neonates with HIE who received therapeutic hypothermia in the neonatology department of our hospital were retrospectively selected. They were assigned into the ultrasound-guided observation group (admitted from May 2020 to December 2021) and the control group (admitted from January 2019 to April 2020). In the ultrasound-guided observation group, intestinal ultrasound was performed during therapeutic hypothermia. Based on clinical manifestations and ultrasound results, a small amount of enteral feeding [20 ml/(kg·d)] was initiated and gradually increased to total enteral feeding after rewarming. In the control group, 5 ml (once every 3 h) of glucose and sodium chloride solution was given during 72 h of therapeutic hypothermia. After rewarming, enteral feeding was started and gradually increased to total enteral feeding without intestinal ultrasound. The time to start enteral feeding, the time to achieve total enteral feeding, the incidences of feeding intolerance, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and late-onset sepsis were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 17 cases were in the ultrasound-guided observation group and 18 cases in the control group. The median time to start enteral feeding and to achieve total enteral feeding in the ultrasound-guided observation group were earlier than the control group [36.0 (33.5, 39.0) h vs. 77.0 (74.0, 79.3) h, 6.0 (5.5, 6.5) d vs. 8.0 (7.0, 9.0) d, P<0.001]. No significant difference existed in the incidence of feeding intolerance between the two groups. Neither groups had NEC or late-onset sepsis. Conclusions:Early enteral feeding during therapeutic hypothermia in neonates with HIE is safe and feasible. Intestinal ultrasound helps implementing feeding plan and achieving early total enteral feeding.
RESUMO
【Objective】 To analyze the efficacy of scrotum cold compress combined with antibiotics on necrospermia patients with seminal tract infection. 【Methods】 We made a retrospective analysis of the patients who were confirmed as necrospermia by more than 2 times of semen examination and positive by sperm bacteria culture at the Andrology Department of our center from January 2019 to September 2022. The experiment group patients who were cured by scrotum cold compress combined with sensitive antibiotics and L-carnitine were divided into experiment group A (1 time/day) and experiment group B (2 times/day) according to the daily times of scrotum cold compress. Meanwhile, only sensitive antibiotics and L-carnitine were administered in the control group patients. We recorded the improvement of sperm parameters and the number of negative sperm bacterial cultures in different groups at 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks of treatment. 【Results】 A total of 145 patients were enrolled in the study. According to the principle of randomization, 49 patients in group A, 49 patients in group B, and 47 patients in the control group were enrolled. After 4 weeks of treatment, there was no significant difference between the experiment group and the control group in terms of abstinence time, the number of negative sperm bacterial cultures, semen pH, sperm ratio of forward motility, or the sperm survival rate (all P>0.05). In terms of the sperm survival rate, group B (53.1±14.1) was superior to group A (46.2±16.4) (P<0.05). In the results of the treatment at 8 weeks, the number of negative sperm bacterial cultures was significantly higher in the experiment group (74/98) than in the control group (26/47) (χ2=5.14, P<0.05). Sperm ratio of forward motility was higher in the experiment group (26.5±11.9) than in the control group (22.8±12.6). The experimental group (53.1±14.6) also had a significantly higher sperm survival rate than the control group (47.6±13.4) (P<0.05). However, the number of negative sperm bacterial cultures, sperm ratio of forward motility, and the sperm survival rate were lower in experiment group A (35/49, 25.5±10.3, 51.1±15.0) than in experiment group B (39/49, 27.5±13.2, 55.1±14.2), but there was no statistical difference between the two groups (all P>0.05). After 12 weeks of treatment, the number of negative sperm bacterial cultures in the experimental group (67/98) was significantly higher than that in the control group (21/47) (χ2=6.11, P<0.05). Sperm ratio of forward motility in the experiment group (30.9±11.2) was higher than that in the control group (24.7±13.4) (P<0.05). The experiment group (56.3±13.0) had a significantly higher sperm survival rate than the control group (46.7±12.0, P<0.01). However, in terms of the number of negative sperm bacterial cultures, sperm ratio of forward motility, and the sperm survival rate, there were no statistical differences between group A (31/49, 28.8±10.0, 55.9±12.7) and group B (36/49, 32.8±12.1, 56.7±13.4) (all P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 Scrotum cold compress combined with antibiotics is superior to only antibiotic treatment on necrospermia patients with seminal tract infection, especially in the sperm ratio of forward motility and sperm survival rate, but it has little relationship with the times of cold compressions per day. Therefore, the method deserves application in this type of patients’ diagnosis and treatment.

The Data of active LN patients treated with belimumab combined with standard regimen in the Department of Nephrology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from June 1, 2020 to June 30, 2022 were collected for analyzing the renal response rate and adverse reactions after belimumab treatment.Results:A total of 17 patients were included, including 14 females (82.35%). The age of the first medication was (26.06±2.64) years old, the median time of illness before the use of belimumab was 24.00 (8.50, 48.50) months, and the recurrence times before the use of belimumab was (1.24±1.03) times. All the 17 patients underwent renal biopsy. The main pathological types were type IV in 11 cases (11/17), type Ⅲ+V in 2 cases (2/17), type IV+V in 3 cases (3/17), and type V in 1 case (1/17). The dose of glucocorticoids was (22.95±8.30) mg/d in 1 year before belimumab administration. In 12 patients with LN who completed 24 weeks of belimumab treatment plan, the 24-hour urinary protein showed a downward trend, and there was a statistically significant difference compared with the baseline at 24 week [0.49 (0.15, 2.19) g vs. 2.83 (1.14, 4.11) g, Z=-2.100, P=0.036]. Compared with the baseline, serum albumin at 24 week increased by 29.36%, with statistically significant difference [(34.50±3.34) g/L vs. (26.67±5.75) g/L, t=-3.840, P=0.030]. The systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index-2K score continued to decline, with statistically significant difference compared with baseline at 24 week (5.00±3.02 vs. 12.00±2.82, t=6.163, P<0.001). The lymphocyte count increased, and the difference was statistically significant compared with the baseline at 24 week [0.72(0.28, 2.39)×10 9/L vs. 0.30(0.19,0.34)×10 9/L, Z=-2.073, P=0.038]. There was a statistically significant difference between the glucocorticoids dosage at 24 week and the average glucocorticoids dosage 1 year before treatment [(11.25±6.35) mg/d vs. (22.60±9.75) mg/d, t=4.225, P=0.003]. After observation of belimumab for (38.13±22.93) weeks, patients had a complete response rate of 64.71% (11/17), a partial response rate of 17.65% (3/17), and an overall response rate of 82.35% (14/17). Relapse occurred in 1 case.No infusion-related reactions occurred in 17 patients. During the treatment, a total of 5 adverse events occurred, including 2 cases of pulmonary infection, 1 case each of sepsis, upper respiratory tract infection, and cytomegalovirus infection, which all improved after treatment and the subsequent treatment was not affected. Conclusion:Belimumab combined with standard regimen can improve the response rate of LN, reduce the recurrence rate, reduce the dosage of glucocorticoids, and control the overall adverse events with good prognosis.

RESUMO
Long-term clinical practice shows that Mongolian medicine not only has a unique effect on frequently-occurring and common diseases, but also has particularly remarkable effects on difficult diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, etc. Molecular imaging technology, which based on imaging technology, displays special molecules on the tissue, cell, and subcellular level. By reflecting the changes on molecular level in vivo, lesions can be located, quantitatively and qualitatively imaged and analyzed. Non-invasive imaging in vivo is the most significant feature of molecular imaging technology. In the research of Mongolian medicine treatment, molecular imaging technology can present the characteristics of the lesions before and after treatment in vivo and in real time, dynamically evaluate the effect of drug treatment, and provide new ideas for exploring the efficacy of Mongolian medicine and developing new drugs.

RESUMO
【Objective】 To observe the effect of glutaraldehyde polymerized bovine hemoglobin injection (code: HSRP1) oxygen-carrying fluid on early perfusion of severe hemorrhagic anemia in rabbits. 【Methods】 The rabbit model of controlled severe hemorrhagic anemia was established. Twelve modeled rabbits were divided into glutaraldehyde polymerized bovine hemoglobin injection (code: HSRP1) group and sodium lactate ringer′s injection (LR) group, with 6 rabbits in each group(half male and half female). HSPR1 group and LR group were treated with HSRP1 and LR, respectively. The survival rate of experimental rabbits was observed, and the indexes of hemodynamics, venous blood gas, plasma hemoglobin, base surplus, lactic acid and bicarbonate were measured before and after blood loss, as well as each point within 24 h after infusion. 【Results】 The survival rate of HSRP1 group was significantly different from that of LR group (P<0.05); After exsanguination, the mean arterial pressure of each group was significantly different from that before exsanguination (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between HSPR1 group and LR group after infusion; In the second stage of perfusion, the blood lactate concentration and base excess in the HSRP1 group were significantly different from those in the LR group at each time point (P<0.05), at 2 h after perfusion, the respiratory rate started to differ significantly from that of the LR group (P<0.05), heart rate was significantly different from LR group at 4 h after perfusion(P<0.05); There were no significant differences between HSRP1 group and LR group in plasma venous oxygen partial pressure, venous oxygen saturation and plasma hemoglobin at all time points. 【Conclusion】 HSPR1 is used for severe traumatic hemorrhagic shock in rabbits, and can improve the survival rate of experimental rabbits by providing oxygen to hypoxic tissues and correcting anaerobic metabolism. As a new oxygen-carrying fluid, HSPR1 can correct the oxygen supply balance of patients with severe hemorrhagicanemia in early stage.
RESUMO
Objective:To explore superior mediastinal lymph node zoning of thyroid cancer for accurate anatomical definition as a reference for surgical access. Methods:A method for zoning superior mediastinal lymph nodes for thyroid cancer was proposed. From Sep 2018 to Nov 2019, 36 cases of thyroid cancer with superior mediastinal lymph nodes metastases were reviewed. The diagnosis, surgical approaches, pathology, characteristics of lymph node metastasis, complications and follow-up results were analyzed.Results:The superior mediastinal lymph nodes were grouped into 10 areas: 1, 2Ra, 2Rb, 2La, 2Lb, 3A, 3P, 4R, 4La and 4Lb. According to the location of the superior mediastinum metastatic lymph nodes, direct vision approach through the neck incision, laparoscope-assisted approach, thracoscepy, laparoscope-assisted combined with thrascopy approach or conventional median sternotomy was performed for regional lymph node dissection. The average follow-up time was (10±4) months. No residual or recurrence of tumor in superior mediastinal area was found.Conclusions:The zoning of the superior mediastinal lymph nodes in thyroid cancer can be used as a guide for surgical approach to lymph node dissection .
RESUMO
In the past, it was thought that insulin autoantibodies (IAA) produced by exogenous insulin and its analogues rarely had clinical significance. However, in recent years, with the increase in the incidence of diabetes and the use of insulin, more and more exogenous IAA produced by insulin causes serious clinical harm, and clear detection methods and treatment methods are limited. A large proportion of such patients are therefore missed, which seriously affects the blood glucose control and quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes who receive insulin therapy. This article reviews the current diagnosis and treatment progress of exogenous insulin antibody syndrome in patients with type 2 diabetes.
RESUMO

Therefore, we reviewed the annual progress for COVID-19-related issues including antivirals threapies, respiratory support and immunomodulatory therapies and other critical issues, including the effect of antibiotic on mitochondrial damage and its relationship with sepsis, the goal and direction of antimicrobial de-escalation, drug prophylaxis of constipation, bleeding in gastrointestinal disorders and management of critical illness in the informalization era and so on. We hope to provide reference for clinical and scientific research work of the intensivists.
RESUMO
Development of thoracolumbar vertebra (TLV) and rib primordium (RP) is a common evolutionary feature across vertebrates, although whole-organism analysis of the expression dynamics of TLV- and RP-related genes has been lacking. Here, we investigated the single-cell transcriptome landscape of thoracic vertebra (TV), lumbar vertebra (LV), and RP cells from a pig embryo at 27 days post-fertilization (dpf) and identified six cell types with distinct gene expression signatures. In-depth dissection of the gene expression dynamics and RNA velocity revealed a coupled process of osteogenesis and angiogenesis during TLV and RP development. Further analysis of cell type-specific and strand-specific expression uncovered the extremely high level of HOXA10 3'-UTR sequence specific to osteoblasts of LV cells, which may function as anti-HOXA10-antisense by counteracting the HOXA10-antisense effect to determine TLV transition. Thus, this work provides a valuable resource for understanding embryonic osteogenesis and angiogenesis underlying vertebrate TLV and RP development at the cell type-specific resolution, which serves as a comprehensive view on the transcriptional profile of animal embryo development.

RESUMO
Objective:To assess the bacterial profiles and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in uropathogens, and help to inform the empiric treatment decisions for urinary tract infection in outpatient settings.Methods:A single institutional retrospective analysis was performed on positive urine cultures from outpatient settings between January 1998 and December 2018. To analyze changes over time, trends analysis were undertaken on bacterial profiles, antimicrobial susceptibility and resistance.Results:A total of 1.172 pathogenic bacteria were isolated after exclusion of duplicate strains originated from the same patient, including 991(84.6%) Gram-negative bacterial strains and 181(15.4%) Gram-positive strains. The most common Gram-negative uropathogens were Escherichia coli (60.8%) and Klebsiella pneumonia (8.1%). Enterococcus faecalis (4.6%) was the predominant Gram-positive strain. The detection rate of Escherichia coli increased significantly, from 50.8% to 63.2% ( χ2=7.978, P=0.046), and no significant difference was observed in the distribution of major uropathogenic bacteria over the 20 years (all P>0.05). The proportion of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBLs) producing strains increased significantly across the 20 years ( P<0.05). The resistance rates of Escherichia coli to amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium, aztreonam, ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin and sulbactam + cefoperazone increased significantly (all P<0.05). All the isolates sustained high susceptibility to tazobactam + piperacillin, amikacin, imipenem and nitrofurantoin (95.0%, 95.7%, 97.9% and 91.1%). Similar to those of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae remained a high and stable sensitivity to tazobactam+piperacillin, amikacin and imipenem during the 20 years (79.1%, 88.0% and 80.3%). However, the proportion of ESBLs producing strains increased significantly ( P<0.05). Among Gram-positive bacteria isolates, the sensitivity rates of Enterococcus faecalis to ampicillin, nitrofurantoin and penicillin G were 100.0%. No vancomycin resistant strain was detected in Gram-positive bacteria. Conclusions:From 1998 to 2018, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae are the most common Gram-negative bacteria uropathogens obtained in outpatient settings. Significant increases of resistance to some antimicrobial agents such as second- and third-generation cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones are observed during the 20 years and high susceptibilities to tazobactam+piperacillin, amikacin, imipenem and nitrofurantoin sustain over time. Local treatment strategies of urinary tract infections on outpatient basis should be made according to epidemiology of drug resistance and individual characteristics to control the spread and curb the prevalence of drug resistant.
RESUMO
Objective@#To study infection of coxsackievirus A6 (CV-A6) in Mongolian gerbils.@*Methods@#To screen the optimal ages of Mongolian gerbils, five groups with different ages were infected with 1×105 TCID50 dose of CV-A6 XS45 strain by intraperitoneal, and symptom scores of Mongolian gerbils were collected. Then to estimate the dose-effect, three doses of virus were injected to the Mongolian gerbils. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry(IHC) were used to determine virus load and tissues infection in muscle, brain and intestinal tract.@*Results@#Mongolian gerbils infected with 1×105 TCID50 dose CV-A6 consistently exhibited clinical signs, and the morbidity (death) rates of five age groups were up to 100%. There was a positive correlation between the trend of symptom scores changes and ages. The morbidity (death) rates of three doses (1×103 TCID50, 1×104 TCID50, 1×105 TCID50) also were up to 100% in 28 days Mongolian gerbils. The correlation between the trend of symptom scores changes and doses were negative. Virus loads were detected in muscle, brain and intestinal tract of pathogenesis animal. The virus loads of muscle were higher than others. IHC results showed virus infection and cytopathic effects in three tissues.@*Conclusions@#Mongolian gerbils had high susceptibility to CV-A6, and were best for animal model of CV-A6 infection.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinico-pathological features and renal outcomes of primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) with glomerular IgM deposition.Methods Primary IgAN diagnosed with biopsy from January 2006 to December 2011 were recruited.Patients were divided into groups according to IgM deposition (Group A) and without IgM deposition (Group B).In addition,Group A was subdivided into two groups based on the position of IgM deposits as the mesangium (Group A1) and both mesangium and capillary wall (Group A2).Renal outcomes were defined as end stage renal disease (ESRD) and/or the doubling of baseline serum creatinine.Clinico-pathological features were retrospectively compared.Kaplan-Meier was conducted for renal outcomes,and Cox regression model was used to analyze the prognostic value of IgM deposition and the position of IgM deposition in the progression of nephropathy in IgAN patients.Results 939 patients were enrolled with 422 (44.9％) having IgM deposition (Group A).Of the 422 patients,382 patients were divided as Group A 1,whereas 40 patients were noted as Group A2.Compared to Group B,hemoglobin,serum protein,albumin and serum IgG levels in group A were significantly lower,and the cholesterol and serum IgM levels were significantly higher (all P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in serum creatinine,estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR),urinary protein,blood pressure and uric acid between group A and B.In terms of pathological manifestations,patients in Group A exhibited more severe histological lesions including glomerular sclerosis,S1,M1 and interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration (all P＜0.05).Immunofluorescence showed that the proportion of IgG,C1q and Fg deposition in group A was significantly higher than that in group B (all P ＜ 0.05).By Kaplan-Meier,cumulative renal survival rate has no significant difference between Group A and B (Log-rank test x2=0.019,P=0.891).Univariate and muhivariable Cox regression analysis showed that IgM deposition had no significant effect on the renal progression in IgAN patients.Subgroup analysis showed that patients in Group A2 exhibited higher urine protein,creatinine and blood pressure,and lower eGFR and serum albumin,also had worse histological lesions including M1,E1 and T1-2 of Oxford classification (all P＜0.05),Immunofluorescencc showed that the proportion of IgG,C1q and Fg deposition in group A2 was significantly higher than that in group A1 (all P ＜ 0.05).By Kaplan-Meier,renal survival rates calculated from outcomes were lower in Group A2 (Log-rank test x2=1 8.207,P ＜ 0.001).In addition,IgM deposited both in the mesangium and capillary wall was a risk factor for renal progression of IgAN patients with IgM deposition by a univariate Cox hazards regression mode and multivariable-adjusted Cox models (HR=3.621,95％CI 1.924-6.814,P＜ 0.001;HR=2.309,95％CI 1.176-4.533,P=0.015respectively).Conclusions The IgAN patients with IgM deposition relatively had more severe clinicopathological changes,especially those with IgM deposited both in the mesangium and capillary wall.In this study,IgM deposition was not found to be an independent risk factor for the prognosis of kidney in IgAN patients.However,IgM deposited both in the mesangium and capillary wall was an independent risk factor for renal prognosis in IgAN patients with IgM deposition.

Objective To explore the clinicopathological features and renal outcomes of primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients with chronic tonsillitis.Methods Patients with biopsyproven primary IgAN admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital,Sun Yat-sen University from January 2006 to December 2011 were enrolled.The clinicopathological features and renal outcomes of patients with and without chronic tonsillitis were retrospectively compared.The primary outcome was progression to end stage renal diseases and/or doubling of serum creatinine.Results A total of 981 primary IgAN patients were enrolled and 98 patients (9.99％) had a history of chronic tonsillitis.Compared with patients without chronic tonsillitis,IgAN patients with chronic tonsillitis exhibited significantly higher prevalence of acute episodes of tonsillitis as a predisposition (P ＜ 0.001),higher serum IgA levels (P=0.012),and higher prevalence of macrohematuria (P=0.006).No significant difference in renal pathological features was observed in patients with and without chronic tonsillitis.Moreover,the renal outcomes were similar as regards IgAN patients with and without chronic tonsillitis.Conclusion IgAN patients with chronic tonsillitis had higher prevalence of acute episodes of tonsillitis and macrohematuria as well as higher serum IgA levels.However,IgAN patients with and without chronic tonsillitis showed no significant difference in renal pathological features and renal outcomes.
RESUMO
Objective To analyze the current status of bacterial spectrum and drug resistance in community-acquired biliary tract infection to provide a basis for clinical medication .Methods The patients with community-acquired biliary tract infection (ex-periment group) and the patients with biliary tract diseases without biliary tract infection (control group) derived from the native ar-ea treated in this hospital from September 2014 to January 2016 were selected .The bile juice was intraoperatively extracted for con-ducting the bacterial culture and drug susceptibility test .Results Thirteen specieses (60 strains) of bacteria were isolated in the ex-periment group .The top 3 specieses were Escherichia coli (35 .0% ) ,Klebsiella pneumonia (21 .7% ) and Enterobacter cloacae (10 .0% ) .Eight specieses (13 strains) of bacteria were isolated in the control group .The top 3 specieses were Escherichia coli (30 .8% ) ,Klebsiella pneumonia(15 .4% ) and Lactococcus garvieae (15 .4% ) .The proportions of drug resistant strains in the two groups were 95 .0% and 84 .6% respectively (P>0 .05) .The proportions of multiple drug resistant strains in the two groups were 30 .0% and 7 .7% respectively(P>0 .05) .The occurrence rates of multiple drug resistance in the top 3 specieses of bacteria in the experiment group were 61 .9% ,7 .7% and 16 .7% respectively .Conclusion The bacterial spectra of community-acquired acute bili-ary tract infection in the native area are dominated by Gram negative bacteria .The total bacterial drug resistance is serious ,but the drug resistance situation in different bacteria pathogens is different .
