Objective To ostimate the distribution of microorganism strains isolated from hospital ward cir-curmstanee and clinical specimens, and then proceed to inquire into their interrelation to nosocomial infection, provi-ding evidence for preventing and reducing nosocomial infection. Methods Specimens were collected from hospital circumstance and each clinical laboratory, and then made a bacterial identification and pathogen strains survey. Re-sults There was a closed correlation between the microorganism strain isolated from hospital circumstance and clini-cal infection pathogen(86%). Conclusion A series of disinfection management measures should be made and for-mulated so as to reduce the hospital infection rate as far as possible.

Objective:To investigate the effects of high thoracic epidural anesthesia (HTEA) on the cerebral blood flow (CBF) and hippocampal apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2 and Bax during global cerebral ischemia and reperfusion (GCI) in rats.Methods:Fifteen-minute global ischemia was established by 4-vessel occlusion and epidural catheterization was performed through T4-5 intervertebral spaces in adult male Wistar rats.According to the different drugs infused into the epidural space,the rats were randomly divided into four groups:Sham group (0.9 % NaC1),Sham-HTEA group (0.25 % bupivacaine),GCI group (global cerebral ischemia,0.9 % NaC1) and HTEA group (global cerebral ischemia,0.25 % bupivacaine).And 0.25 %bupivacaine or 0.9 % saline (20 μL·h-1) was infused continuously to the thoracic epidural space from 15 minutes before ischemia to 24 hours after reperfusion.Mean arterial pressure (MAP),heart rate (HR) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) were determined until 2 hours after reperfusion,and the hippocampal Bcl-2 and Bax proteins at 24 hours after reperfusion were examined by Western-blot.Results:Compared with the GCI group,HTEA group has no significant difference on MAP and HR during ischemia and 2 hours after reperfusion,andcompared with the Sham group,MAP in GCI group increased in ischemia 0 min and decreased in reperfusion 0 min.The CBF in HTEA group was significantly lower than that in GCI group (123.1%± 35.2% vs 177.5%± 32.4%,P<0.01) in reperfusion 10 min,and higher than that in GCI group during the hypoperfusion of 60 to 120 minutes after reperfusion (P<0.05),and the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 in hippocampus was significantly decreased in HTEA group 24 hours after reperfusion (P<0.01).Conclusions:Continuous HTEA infusion of 0.25 % bupivacaine 20 μL ·h-1 could maintain the hemodynamic stability,and improve the CBF of hypoperfusion period in rats,as well as reduce the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 at 24 hours after reperfusion.

Objective To explore the expression level and clinical significance of α-Arrestin domain-containing protein 3(ARRDC3)gene in human brain glioma tissues.Methods Clinical data and gene expression of patients with brain glioma were analyzed using the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas(CGGA)database and the Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database.Brain glioma specimens were collected from 9 patients with primary brain gliomas treated in the Department of Neurosurgery,the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2018 to December 2021.The expression levels of ARRDC3 in gliomas of different grades were detected through immunohistochemical experiments.The expression levels of ARRDC3 in gliomas with different molecular types and grades were analyzed by using thenon-parametrictest.The effect of ARRDC3 expression on the survival time of brain glioma patients was analyzed by using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve,while the effect of ARRDC3 expression on prognosis of glioma patients was analyzed by using univariate and multivariate Cox regression models.Results Data in the CGGA and TCGA databases showed that the expression of ARRDC3 in the grade Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳhuman brain gliomas increased gradually(P<0.05).The results of immunohistochemical staining experiments were consistent with the above results(P<0.05).The ARRDC3 expression in isocitrate dehydrogenase(IDH)wild type glioma patients was significantly higher than that in IDH mutant glioma patients(P<0.05).The overall survival of the patients with high ARRDC3 expression was significantly shorter than that of the patients with low ARRDC3 expression(P<0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that age,IDH mutation state,radiotherapy and ARRDC3 expression were risk factors for prognosis of human brain glioma patients(P<0.05).Conclusion With the pathological grade rising gradually,the relative expression level of ARRDC3 in human brain glioma tissues increases gradually.The prognosis of brain glioma patients with low expression of ARRDC3 is significantly better than that of patients with high expression of ARRDC3.ARRDC3 can be used as a prognostic factor for glioma patients.
