ABSTRACT

【Objective】 To compare the difference in the detection rate of microorganisms in cord blood between BACTEC FX and BacT/ALERT 3D automated blood culture systems, and to compare the influence of incubation time and different types of culture sample on the detection rate of microorganisms in cord blood. 【Methods】 Cord blood samples prepared from April to August 2020 in Sichuan Cord Blood Bank(n=4 358) were selected, and 20 mL of plasma was used as culture samples for microbial detection. In addition, cord blood samples prepared in the same months of 2021(n=4 057) were selected, and 19 mL of plasma plus 1 mL of final product was used as culture samples for microbial detection. The total sample size was 8 415, of which 4 849 samples(2 458 in plasma group and 2 391 in plasma plus final product group) were assigned to the BACTEC FX system, and 3 566 samples(1 900 in the plasma group and 1 666 in the plasma plus final product group) to the BacT/ALERT 3D system. All samples were cultured for 7 days, and culture data were recorded on day 5 and day 7. Positive results were confirmed by Gram staining. 【Results】 The positive rate detected by the BACTEC FX system was higher than that of the BacT/ALERT 3D system(4.08% vs 2.69%), with statistically significant difference(P0.05) detected by the BacT/ALERT 3D system. With quality control strains, there were significant differences in TTP between these two systems for Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Clostridium sporogenes, and Bacillus subtilis(P0.05). 【Conclusion】 This study suggests that the selection of BACTEC FX blood culture system with incubation time of not less than 7 days and plasma plus final product as culture samples may improve the detection rate of microorganisms in cord blood.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the value of spectral CT based iodine concentration (IC) parameters for preoperative prediction of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in gastric cancer.Methods:Between January 2021 and November 2021, 266 patients diagnosed as gastric adenocarcinomas by endoscopy and undergoing gastrectomy at the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University were recruited prospectively. They were divided into LVI and non-LVI groups according to pathological reports. Triple phase contrasted enhanced CT scans, including arterial phase (AP), venous phase (VP) and delayed phase (DP) were performed on a spectral CT platform within one week before surgery. The IC of gastric cancer lesions at three enhanced phases were measured based on iodine maps, and the normalized IC (nIC) was calculated. The thickness of the tumor was measured. Clinicopathological features were collected, including ulceration, pathological tumor staging (pT), pathological node staging (pN), histodifferentiation, Lauren subtype, perineural invasion (PNI), positive node numbers and positive node ratio. Student′s t tes t or Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare the differences of continuous variables between the two groups, while Chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test was used for categorical data. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to screen independent risk factors of LVI, and to build a combined parameter based on risk factors. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to determine the predictive efficacy of IC parameters and the combined parameter for LVI. DeLong′s test was used to compare the differences among different area under the curve (AUC). Results:There were statistical differences in tumor thickness, ulceration, pT, pN, histodifferentiation, positive node numbers, positive node ratio, Lauren subtype and PNI between LVI and non-LVI groups ( P<0.05). The values of IC VP, IC DP, nIC VP, nIC DP in LVI group were statistically higher than those in non-LVI group ( t=3.77, 4.23, 4.25, 6.12, all P<0.001), with the AUC (95%CI) of 0.674 (0.610-0.738), 0.677 (0.614-0.741), 0.731 (0.671-0.792), 0.700 (0.636-0.764) for predicting LVI, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that tumor thickness (OR=1.148, 95%CI 1.085-1.237, P<0.001) and nIC VP (OR=209.904, 95%CI 14.874-644.362, P<0.001) were independent predictors for LVI, the combined parameter incorporating these two factors yielded an AUC (95%CI) of 0.790 (0.736-0.937), which was statistically higher than any single parameter of IC VP, IC DP, nIC VP and nIC DP ( Z=3.07, 3.29, 2.10, 2.60, P=0.002, 0.001, 0.036, 0.009). Conclusion:The IC and nIC values of gastric cancer lesions derived from the VP and DP on spectral CT can effectively predict LVI status in gastric adenocarcinomas, and the combination of nIC VP and tumor thickness can further improve the predictive efficacy.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To compare the immediate effectiveness of elbow forearm support with that of a traditional shoulder sling in reducing glenohumeral subluxation (GHS) after a stroke.Methods:Eight stroke survivors with GHS were randomized to receive either 30 minutes of intervention of an elbow forearm support treatment or a traditional shoulder sling treatment twice within 24 hours. Their healthy and affected shoulders were X-rayed before and right after the treatment is ongoing as well as after the end of the 30 min of treatment. The vertical (VD) and horizontal (HD) distances from the lower edge of the acromion to the center of the humeral head were measured. The satisfaction of the patients and their relatives was surveyed.Results:The average VD and HD improved significantly more after wearing the elbow forearm support. Moreover, the patients and their relatives expressed greater satisfaction with the elbow forearm support.Conclusion:Either an elbow forearm support or a traditional shoulder sling will have an immediate effect in reducing shoulder subluxation, but the elbow forearm support is more effective and gives greater satisfaction.
