Polychlorinated biphenyls(PCBs) is one of persistent organic pollutants which are widely exist in environment.This review described PCBs characteristics and toxicity on animals and human livers.Before now,it was identified that PCBs caused liver damage and hepatocarcinogenicity for animals.However,occupational studies and long-term,low level exposure studies to human beings have found no direct correlation between PCBs exposure and liver damage and carcinogenicity,only accidental environmental exposures have found increased mortality of liver disease.But high morbidity of human liver cancer and detected PCBs in the environment were reported in some regions.It is evident that more researches should be done.

Objective To explore the relationship between postoperative cancer-related fatigue and nutritional risk in patients with colorectal cancer. Method Using convenience sampling method, 159 postoperative colorectal cancer patients were interviewed with cancer-related fatigue scale and PG-SGA 7 days after operation. Results The average score of CRF was (21.28 ± 6.06). The score by PG-SGA was (15.18 ± 5.55). About 94.34%patients were in need of nutritional intervention. The postoperative cancer-related fatigue was positively related to PG-SGA scores(all P<0.05). Conclusions The postoperative colorectal cancer patients are at a high risk of malnutrition, with nutrition risk positively related with somatic cancer-related fatigue. The clinical nursing staff should pay attention to the nutritional status of patients and correct their malnutrition so as to reduce the symptoms of cancer-related fatigue.

Objective To study the prevention and treatment effect of ω-3 fatty acids on intestinal mucosa in critical illness. Methods Forty patients including severe trauma, infection shock were enrolled as experimental group, while 30 healthy people as control group. At the same time, the patients in expermental group were randomly divided into group A and group B(20 cases each). While the patients were. Treated with low calorie parenteral nutrition totally, those in group A received ω-3 fatty acids additionally. The plasma concentrations of dimnine oxidase (DAO), endotoxin were detected by spectrophotography, and TNF-α was detected by ELISA. Results After treatment the concentration of DAO, endotoxin, TNF-α in group A and that of endotoxin in group B decreased significantly (P<0.05 ). While there was no significant difference of endotoxin levels between group A and group B. After therapy, DAO and TNF-α levels in group A were sig-nificantly lower than those in group B (P<0.05 ). The concentrations of DAO and TNF-α in group B were also significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05). Conclusion ω-3 fatty acids can prevent and treat critical intestinal mucosa effectively.

Objective To summarize the pathogenic spectrum and antimicrobial susceptibility of hospital-acquired bloodstream infections (HABSI) in children,and to provide evidence for clinical antiinfection treatment.Methods During January 2004 to December 2011,the clinical data and drug susceptibility results of 168 children who were diagnosed with HABSI based on positive results of pathogen tests were reviewed retrospectively in Yuying Children's Hospital affiliated to Wenzhou Medical College.Results A total of 171 strains were isolated from blood specimens of the 168 children.The majority of HABSI occurred in the intensive care unit (73.7 ％),followed by department of hematology (22.6％).Gram-positive bacteria,gram-negative bacteria and fungi accounted for 53.8％,34.5％ and 11.7％,respectively.The predominant pathogens were Stagphylococcus epidermidis (14.1％),followed by Klebsiella pneumonia (13.5 ％),Staphylococcus haemolyticus (7.6％),Staphylococcus aureus (6.4％),Enterococcus faecium (6.4％) and Escherichia coli (6.4 ％).Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis resistant to methicillin were detected in 9.1 ％ and 91.7 ％ of specimens,respectively.Staphylococcus and enterococcus which were resistant to vancomycin or linezolid were not detected.The isolation rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli with extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) were 95.7％ and 72.7％,respectively.One hundred and sixty cases (95.2 ％) had underlying diseases including premature birth and low birth weight (60.7％).One hundred and twenty-six cases (75.0％) underwent invasive procedures.The peak incidence of HABSI occurred in children less than 3 months old (75.6％).Conclusions HABSI is most common in infants younger than 3 months old,with underlying diseases or undergone invasive procedures.The pathogens are mainly gram-positive bacteria.Very low birth weight infants can acquire unusual infection of Kodamaea ohmeri.Thus,it is essential to strengthen the prevention of hospital-acquired infection.

Objective To investigate the neuroprotective effect of escitalopram on focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in rats and its possible mechanisms.Methods Seventy-five male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups:sham operation,saline control and escitalopram intervention groups (n =25 in each group).A focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion model in rats was induced by the intraluminal suture method.The modified neurological severity scale was used to evaluate neurological deficit in rats (n =5 in each group).Laser confocal technology was used to observe the microvascular diameter,density,and total area in ischemic region (n =5 in each group).Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the plasma concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (n =5 in each group).Immunohistochemical staining (n =5 in each group) and Western blotting (n =5 in each group) were used to detect the expression of VEGF in the ischemic brain tissue.Results At day 14 after modeling,the neurological deficit improved more significantly in the escitalopram intervention group than that in the saline control group (4.39 ±0.92 vs.6.57 ± 1.13; P =0.015).The 3D confocal vascular imaging showed that capillary diameter in the escitalopram intervention group was significantly smaller than that in the saline control group (2.93 ± 0.19 μm vs.3.56 ± 0.22 μm; P ＜0.01); the vascular density was significantly higher than that in the saline control group (232.68 ±12.54/0.002 mm3 vs.176.26 ± 10.87/0.002 mm3; P=0.000); the total microvascular area was significantly greater than that in the saline control group (89 154± 3 298 μm2/0.002 mm3 vs.75 368.14± 3 519 μm2/0.002 mm3; P=0.000).Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that the plasma VEGF concentration in the escitalopram intervention group was significantly higher than that in the saline control group (50.35 ± 5.44 pg/ml vs.13.75 ± 4.12 pg/ml; P =0.000).Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the VEGF expression in ischemic brain tissue in the escitalopram intervention group was significantly higher than that in the saline control group (P =0.000).Western blotting showed that the VEGF expression in ischemic brain tissue in the escitalopram intervention group was significantly higher than that in the saline control group (0.94 ±0.18 vs.0.62 ±0.22; P =0.006).Conclusions Escitalopram may reduce neurological deficit in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in rats.Its mechanisms may be associated with VEGF-mediated angiogenesis.

Objective To explore the clinical features of patients with vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD).Methods Patients diagnosed with posterior circulation ischemia in our hospital from October 2008 to January 2012 were consecutively collected and were divided into the VBD group and the non-VBD (NVBD) group.Clinical manifestations,risk factors,hemodynamic parameters and neuroimaging features were collected.Results (1) Statistical difference was observed in dyslipidemia,hypertension and the history of diabetes in the two groups (P ＜ 0.05).(2) The cerebral hemodynamic features of the VBD patients were as the following:decreased peak systolic velocity of vertebral artery and basilar artery and decreased systolic/diastolic ratio.Statistical difference was showed in the average peak flow velocity(Vm),pulsatility index(PI) and resistance index(RI) (P =0.036,0.032,0.032,respectively).(3) The main clinical manifestations of VBD were ischemic cerebrovascular disease,hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease,oppression,brain damage symptoms and hydrocephalus.(4) The diagnosis in most of the VBD patients was confirmed by neural imaging and MRI was the first choice.Conclusion The VBD patients have relative unique clinical features.MRI should be the first choice for neuroimaging.

Objective To explore the expressions of stromal cell derived factor 1 α (SDF-1α) and cysteine-X-cysteine chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) in the peripheral blood of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods Forty hospitalized SLE patients were recruited and twenty healthy volunteers were enrolled as normal controls.The percentage of CD3+CD4+CXCR4+,CD3+CD8+CXCR4+ and the plasma concentration level of SDF-1α in the control group and SLE patients were detected by flow cytometry and ELISA.The relationship between SDF-1α/CXCR4 and SLEDAI was explored.Kruskal-Wallis H,Pearson's and Mann-Whitney U test were used for statistical analysis.Results the expression of SDF-1α [329 (127,539) pg/ml] and CXCR4 [CD3+CD4+CXCR4+:4.20(2.01,6.35)％,CD3+CD4+CXCR4+:2.70(1.68,4.20)％] were significantly elevated in SLE patients when compared to the normal controls (Z=-6.277,-5.707,-4.885,respectively,all P=0.000),and were significantly increased in highly active SLE patients than less active SLE (Z=-5.414,-5.256,-5.312,P＜0.01).The expression of SDF-1α and CXCR4 in the butterfly erythema group,anemia group and proteinuria group were significantly higher than the normal group (P＜0.05).Both SDF-1αand CXCR4 were positively correlated with SLEDAI (r=0.857,0.830,0.861,respectively,all P＜0.01).Conclusion The expressions of SDF-1α and CXCR4 increase significantly in the peripheral blood of SLE patients and there is close relationship between SDF-1α/CXCR4 and disease activity,organ damage.The results of this study suggestthat SDF-1α/CXCR4 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of SLE.
