    China is an area with high prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, and more than 70% of liver failure is ACLF (acute-on-chronic liver failure), ACLF patients' disease progression is rapid with high short-term mortality, and the treatment was difficult. The classification and diagnostic criteria of liver failure are still controversial in the world. However, if the risk of liver failure can be predicted and timely intervened before the occurrence of liver failure, the prognosis of liver failure can be effectively improved and the economic burden of patients can be reduced. Therefore, the concept of the early stage of liver failure is of great significance for further strengthening the early warning of liver failure. In order to improve the understanding of the early diagnosis of liver failure and provide reference for related researches, the authors reviewed the early warning indicators and prediction models of the risk of acute-on-chronic liver failure from various aspects of immune inflammation, oxidative stress, liver cell necrosis and regeneration.

    Objective: To analyze the risk factors of hospital-acquired urinary tract infection (HAUTI), and compare the distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria between patients with HAUTI and patients with community-acquired urinary tract infection (CAUTI). Methods: The medical records of 408 patients with HAUTI and 2506 patients with CAUTI admitted to the Huizhou Fifth Hospital from January 2018 to December 2019 were selected. Risk factors associated with HAUTI were analyzed,and the distribution of pathogenic bacteria and drug resistance characteristics of main pathogenic bacteria were compared and analyzed between HAUTI and CAUTI patients. Results: HAUTI was associated with gender,age, length of hospital stay,chronic underlying conditions,antibacterial usage,coma,and invasive procedures. 299 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated from the midstream urine of 408 HAUTI patients,while 1 393 strains were isolated from the midstream urine of CAUTI patients. Drug sensitivity results showed that the drug resistance rate of Escherichia coli in HAUTI patients to cefepime,cefazolin,cefotaxime and moxifloxacin was higher than that of CAUTI (P< 0.05),and there was no statistical significance in the comparison of drug resistance rate to other antibacterial drugs (P>0.05). The drug resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae,Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium to commonly used antibacterials were relatively high,but there was no statistical significance between two groups (ALL P>0.05). Conclusion: The drug resistance rates of HAUTI patients are higher than those of CAUTI,so it is necessary to strengthen the targeted surveillance and analysis of infection risk factors for HAUTI patients,and take appropriate prevention and control measures to effectively control HAUTI. Both HAUTI and CAUTI should be rationally treated with antibacterial agents based on the component characteristics of pathogens and drug sensitivity results,and empirical drug use should be avoided to reduce the generation of resistant strains and ensure their efficacy.

    Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value of C-reactive protein (CRP), prealbumin (PA) and CRP/PA in pneumoconiosis patients with pulmonary infection. Methods: 129 patients with pneumoconiosis complicated with pulmonary infection admitted to the Fifth People's Hospital of Suzhou from January 2010 to June 2020 were selected as the research objects. They were divided into death group (63 cases) and survival group (66 cases) based on death or survival conditions. Serum CRP and PA levels were detected and CRP/PA ratio was calculated. Patients' general information of the two groups, CRP and PA levels after admission, CRP and PA values of pneumoconiosis patients with different stages and mortality rate of patients with different CRP/PA values were compared. Results: The CRP value on the first day of admission in the death group was significantly higher than that in the survival group (P<0.05), and the PA value on the first day was significantly lower than that in the survival group (P<0.05). In the death group, there were no significant difference in CRP, PA value on day 1 and day 7 (P>0.05). In the survival group, the PA value on the 7th day was significantly higher than that on the 1st day (P<0.05), and the CRP value on the 7th day was lower than that on the 1st day, but the differences were not statistically significant (P<0.05). The mean CRP value of stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ in the death group were significantly higher than that in the survival group(P<0.001), and the mean PA value of stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ in the survival group were significantly lower than that in the survival group(P<0.001). In the death group, the mean CRP value of stage Ⅱ pneumoconiosis patients was higher than that of stage Ⅰ and Ⅲ pneumoconiosis patients, and the mean PA value of stage Ⅱ pneumoconiosis patients was lower than that of stage Ⅰ and Ⅲ pneumoconiosis patientst (P<0.05). In the survival group, the mean CRP value of patients with stage Ⅲ pneumoconiosis was higher than that of patients with stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ, and the mean PA value was lower than that of patients with stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ, but the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05). The mortality rates of pneumoconiosis patients with different CRP/PA values were compared, and the mortality rates of patients with CRP/PA values of >0~0.25,>0.25~1.0 and >1.0 were statistically significant(P<0.05). CRP/PA value of death group was (1.09±1.88)higher than that of survival group(0.29+0.25)(P<0.05). Conclusion: With the increase of CRP/PA value, the mortality rate of patients with pneumoconiosis increase significantly. CRP, PA and CRP/PA value could be used as indicators to evaluate the degree of inflammation and prognosis of patients with pneumoconiosis. This is the first study to observe the dynamic changes of CRP and PA levels in patients with pneumoconiosis.
