ke.Patients presented cardioembolic stroke despite being treated with OAC, especially those with a subtherapeutic INR value, raises the failure of anticoagulant therapy. Despite the ineffectiveness of the OAC, the prognosis is better when the INR ≥1.7 at the initiation of the stroke. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common herpesvirus that has spread throughout the human population. It can easily cause organ damage in individuals who are immunocompromised. While many studies have examined the virology and immunology of simple CMV infection, few articles have described the unique immunological features of patients with HIV-CMV coinfection. CMV infection was detected in 808 HIV/AIDS inpatients in our center from January 2017 to October 2019, and the relevant data from these patients were retrospectively analyzed. HIV-RNA, CD4+ T lymphocyte count, CMV-DNA, and related antibodies were measured in all patients. The positive rates of CMV-DNA in blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were compared. The positive rates between anti-CMV-immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody and CMV-DNA in blood were compared. The correlation between immune status and CMV positive rate was analyzed based on the CD4+ T lymphocyte count. The overall positive rate of CMV infection in HIV/AIDS patients was 29.05%. The poble in screening CMV infection in HIV/AIDS patients, while detection of blood CMV IgG and CMV IgM levels has limited clinical value. The sustained negative pressure created by vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) on exposed vascular wounds can result in blood vessel compression, embolism, or necrosis. The objective of this research was to explore the ability of an experimental vascular protective shield combined with VSD to protect exposed vessels of the lower limbs and accelerate wound repair. (I) The vascular protective shield was prepared; (II) the material was subjected to acute toxicity and hemolysis tests; (III) and 30 New Zealand rabbits were divided into three groups the control, VSD-only, and combined shield-VSD groups (with ten rabbits in each group). The wound-healing rate, myocardial function, wound histopathology, expression of angiogenesis markers, and exposed vascular compression of these three groups were compared on day 7. (I) The internal structure of the material was smooth; and (II) no toxicity or death was observed in mice of any group. The hemolysis rate in the combined shield-VSD group was very low. (III) The combinedcardium and avoids multiple compressions of exposed vessels, thus contributing to early vascularization of wounds and wound repair. In the event of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), leptomeningeal collaterals (LMCs) play a crucial role in determining the survival of brain tissue distal to occlusion. Previous findings indicated that genes controlling arteriogenesis can impact the extent of LMCs. Therefore, probe for potential genetic parameters correlating of arteriogenesis may be clinically useful in predicting LMCs status in MCAO. During the screening process, we focused on repulsive guidance molecule a (RGMa), which has been reported to play a negative role in angiogenesis after stroke by decreasing the proliferation, migration, and tube formation of endothelial cells (ECs) in vivo and in vitro. Indeed, endothelial function plays a main role in arteriogenesis and is essential in determining the LMCs status. Therefore, in present study, we aimed to testify the hypothesis that RGMa might be associated with LMCs status in MCAO. We prospectively enrolled patients with acute M1 MCA +/- intracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) ocimpaired LMCs status, indicating that measurement of RGMa mRNA expression in the early phase of stroke, together with other clinical approaches, was logically expected to be useful for predicting LMCs status. Moreover, a role for RGMa in leptomeningeal arteriogenesis following ischemic stroke can be hypothesized. Hepatitis B virus related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) is a life-threatening syndrome characterized by acute and severe hepatic insults with high short-term mortality. This study aimed to compare the scoring systems which were used to predict short-term outcomes for HBV-ACLF patients. A total of 529 patients diagnosed as HBV-ACLF were retrospectively analyzed and randomly divided, at a ratio of 31, into derivation cohort (n=397) and validation cohort (n=132). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine the discriminative abilities of the ALBI grade in predicting 30-day and 90-day mortality. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUC) curves was used to evaluate the accuracy of models. The survival was associated with lower ALBI score, MELD score and CLIF-C ACLF score than death. In the derivation cohort, elevated ALBI score was related to worse prognosis (30-day mortality HR =3.452; 90-day mortality HR =3.822), increased MELD score was associated with worse overall survival (30- day mortality HR =1.073; 90-day mortality HR =1.082), and increased CLIF-C ACLF score was associated with worse overall survival (30-day mortality HR =1.061; 90-day mortality HR =1.065). The multivariate analyses identified the ALBI score, MELD score and CLIF-C ACLF score as independent prognostic predictors. The results of validation cohort validated these findings. Our study revealed that both the ALBI score, MELD score and CLIF-C ACLF score could predict 30- and 90-day mortality of HBV-ACLF accurately.

This study aims to analyze the work behaviors of patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) during the autumn pollen season, using a 2-week diary survey. In this study, we recruited patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) who were allergic to autumn pollen using an experience sampling method. All participants completed a 2-week survey using the WeChat app during the autumn pollen season (September 16, 2018 through to September 30, 2018). Collected data included participants' general characteristics, nasal symptoms, symptoms of insomnia, mood, and unethical work behaviors. The results showed that pollen concentration had a significant positive effect on the symptoms of rhinitis (P<0.001). Nasal symptoms had direct, positive effects on night-time insomnia (P<0.01) and a negative mood the next day (P<0.05). Insomnia positively affected a negative mood the next day (P<0.01), while negative mood exhibited a direct, positive effect on unethical work behaviors (P<0.05). Furthermore, pollen concentration, nasal symptoms, and insomnia were indirectly but positively associated with unethical work behaviors in patients with SAR.
