Objective To evaluate the relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) level and the prognosis of acute ischemic stroke. Methods Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane library databases were searched for the literatures about the relationship between SUA level and the prognosis of acute ischemic stroke from inception to November 20,2019. The reference literatures were also consulted.The odds ratio(OR) of the prognosis of acute ischemic stroke per unit of SUA level in 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was collected.After evaluating the bias analysis of included studies,a metaanalysis was performed by Stata 16.0 software. Results Fourteen studies involving 15 283 patients with acute ischemic stroke were included.Compared with the low SUA level, the high SUA level was related to the good prognosis of acute ischemic stroke（OR=1.18，95%CI，1.101.26，P=0.006）. Sensitivity analysis further identified the effects of SUA levels on the prognosis of acute ischemic stroke. Patients with good prognosis had a higher SUA level than those with poor prognosis. There was no obvious publication bias found in the metaanalysis. Conclusion This metaanalysis supports that SUA level has a protective effect on neurological prognosis after acute ischemic stroke.

Objective To explore the effect of smoking status on longterm cardiovascular adverse events in male patients with heart failure. Methods A total of ninetyeight male patients with heart failure diagnosed between January 2013 and June 2018 were enrolled in the study. The patients' age, body mass index, course of disease, cardiac function grading, blood pressure, heart rate, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), history of underlying diseases and medication were recorded. Patients were divided into those who had never smoked, those who had quit smoking and those who were current smokers according to their smoking status. The patients were followed up for one year until June 30, 2019, and their clinical outcomes were recorded. Major cardiovascular adverse events included heart failure, death and cardiogenic death requiring hospitalization. Multivariate COX regression was used to analyze the effects of smoking status on longterm cardiovascular adverse events. Results In this study, 40 patients(40.82%) had never smoked, 39 (39.80%) had quit smoking, and 19 (19.39%) were current smokers.The difference of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, beta receptor blockers in patients with different smoking status was statistically significant(P<0.05). A oneyear followup showed there were statistically significant differences in the incidence of heart failure, allcause death and cardiac death among patients with different smoking status who required hospitalization (P<0.05C). The results of multivariate COX regression analysis showed that after excluding other factors, smoking was currently a risk factor for heart failure, allcause death and cardiogenic death requiring hospitalization(P<0.05). Conclusion At present, smoking is a risk factor for longterm hospitalization, allcause death and cardiogenic death in male patients with heart failure. Clinicians should conduct health education for patients with heart failure and urge them to quit smoking to promote their longterm prognosis.

Objective To analyze the antibiotic resistance characteristics of Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori) in Shenzhen, and the eradication rate of it based on the results of antibiotic resistance. Methods Patients undergoing gastroscopy with initial treatment of 13C urea breath test (13CUBT) positive in Shenzhen from January 2017 to December 2018 were collected. H.pylori culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were carried out to analyze the antibiotic resistance characteristics. H.pyloriwas cured according to the drug susceptibility. The eradication rate of H.pyloribased on the antimicrobial susceptibility testing and resistance background was analyzed.Results A total of 688 H.pyloricultures were completed from January 2017 to December 2018, and the positive rate of culture was 76.9%. The antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed the antibiotic resistance rates: 1.3% for amoxicillin, 34.0% for clarithromycin, 40.5% for levofloxacin, and 90.4% for metronidazole. No resistance was observed for furazolidone and tetracycline hydrochloride. The resistance rate for multiple antibiotics was 56.1%. The eradication rate of patients with positive culture was 94.4% based on the results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and that of patients with negative culture was 85.4% according to the resistance background. Conclusion Shenzhen sees that the multiple antibiotics resistance rate for H.pyloriwas higher than 55%. The resistance rate of amoxicillin, furazolidone and tetracycline was low, and that of clarithromycin and levofloxacin was relatively higher. And levofloxacin had a higher resistance rate than clarithromycin. The eradication rate for H.pylori could be improved according to the results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing and the local antibiotic resistance background.

Objective To explore the changes and functions of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) in peripheral blood of patients with acute hepatitis B (AHB) in clinical outcome. Methods Totally 40 AHB patients (AHB group) were selected from June 2015 to May 2017. They were treated with drugs to relieve jaundice, reduce enzyme activity and protect liver. They were also given 0.5 mg oral entecavir on an empty stomach once a day. And 26 healthy people were selected as health control group (HC group). The whole blood samples were obtained from AHB group six weeks before and after the treatment, and from HC group at the time of medical examination, respectively. ELISA method was used to detect the levels of HBV DNA, HBsAg, HBeAg and liver function indexes, and flow cytometry was used to detect the frequency of pDCs and the expression level of CD86. Results After six weeks of treatment, the clinical symptoms of AHB group were significantly relieved, and the levels of serological indicators and hepatitis B markers significantly decreased(P<0.01). The negative conversion ratio of HBV DNA in AHB patients was 82.5%, the clearance rate of HBsAg was 72.5%, and the serological conversion rate of HBeAg was 75.0%. There were statistically significant differences before and after the treatment (P<0.01). The frequency of pDCs in HC group was higher than that in AHB group before the treatment. The expression level of CD86 on pDCs in AHB patients after the treatment was higher than before. CD86ABC in HC group was obviously lower than that in AHB group before the treatment. Conclusion The frequency of pDCs in peripheral blood decreased in AHB group. The CD86 on pDCs increased in AHB patients after the treatment. The expression of CD86 on pDCs in AHB patients was upregulated.

Objective To investigate the expression of miRNA141 in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and its relationship with prognosis. Methods Paraffin embedded tissue specimens of 40 patients with DLBCL admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University from January 2017 to December 2019 before initial treatment were selected. The expression level of miRNA141 was detected by fluorescence realtime quantitative PCR. At the same time, the relationship between the relative expression level of miRNA141 and the clinical characteristics was investigated according to the groups of immune typing and international prognostic index (IPI score).In addition, we selected paraffin tissue samples from 20 patients with reactive hyperplasia of lymph node(RHL) matched by gender and age as the control group. Results The expression level of miRNA141 in DLBCL patients was lower than that in RHL group(P<0.05). The 2year overall survival rate (92.2%) of the group with high expression of miRNA141 in DLBCL was higher than 26.2% of the group with low expression(P=0.001). Multivariate COX model analysis showed that the low expression group of miRNA141 (P=0.009) and the international prognostic index IPI≥3 (P=0.012) were the independent prognostic factors among 40 cases of DLBCL. Conclusion The expression of miRNA141 is decreased in patients with DLBCL, and the overall survival rate of the group with high expression of miRNA141 was significantly higher than that of the group with low expression, suggesting that miRNA141 may be another marker for assisting diagnosis and evaluating prognosis.

A case of intravascular large Bcell lymphoma(IVLBCL) with myelopathy as the first manifestation and confirmed by stereotactic brain biopsy in the department of neurology of PLA Strategic Support Force Characteristic Medical Center was reported and analyzed. The diagnosis process was complicated. The myelopathy lesions were reduced after early treatment with methylprednisolone and rglobulin.The changes of intracranial lesions were multiterminal, with recurrent symptoms and progressive aggravation.The patient was finally diagnosed with a definitive brain biopsy and died in the 4th month of the course of the disease. For myelopathy lesions with unclear diagnosis and poor therapeutic effect, it is necessary to keep a high level of vigilance and conduct biopsy to the maximum extent to avoid entering the diagnostic trap.
