Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome is one of the common critically ill newborn's disease, the pathogenesis of which is closely related to gene mutation of the pulmonary suffactant protein(SP).Surfactant protein is an important component of the pulmonary surfactant, which plays an important role in the structure, metabolism, and function of pulmonary surfactant.SP-B and SP-C in pulmonary surfactant is extremely important and closely related to each other.Study on relationship between the SP gene allelic variation and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome could contribute to early genetic intervention, promote the clinical diagnosis and treatment, and bring far-reaching significance to reduce the neonatal mortality rate.

The immune nutrients play an important role in nutritional support,immune regulation and maintenance of intestinal barrier function.In recent years,with the deepening study,the effect of immune nutrients in the comprehensive cancer treatment has constantly being recognized.Many studies have shown that glutamine (Gln),arginine (Arg) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have effect on the tumor itself and the combination cancer chemotherapy.

OBJECTIVETo study the effects of sacral nerve root electrostimulation (SNS) on the colon function and its mechanisms in rats with spinal cord injury (SCI).

METHODSOne hundred and four Wistar rats were divided into three groups: A, B and C. A group ( n = 24) was divided into three subgroups (n = 8) for studying the bioelectricity: Normal group (NG), SCI group (SCI) and SCI group with SNS(SNS); B group( n = 24) was divided into three subgroups( n = 8) for studying the colon motility: NG, SCI and SNS. C group( n = 56) were divided into three groups for studying the change of morphology and neurotransmitters(SP and VIP): NG (n = 8), SCI (n = 24), and SNS (n = 24) . In SCI and SNS, included of three subgroups: 24, 48, 72 h after spinal cord injury (n = 8).

RESULTSIn SCI group, the activity of bioelectricity in proximal and distal colon was reduced; the colon motility was lessened, and colon mucosa appeared different degree of damage; cell-cell connections between intestinal epithelial cells were destroyed. The expressions of substance P(SP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in colon were decreased obviously. SNS was found to activate the bioelectricity, promote the colon motility, improve the intestinal mucosal, and increase the expressions of SP and VIP. Conclusion: SNS can activate the peristalsis, rehabilitate the motility of denervated colon, protection of the intestinal mechanical barrier between intestinal epithelial cells and tight junction, rebuild the colon function through activating the bioelectricity and increase the expressions of SP and VIP.

OBJECTIVETo observe the ultrastructural change of the route of gut bacterial translocation in a rat with spinal cord injury (SCI).

METHODSForty Wistar rats were divided into the following groups: control group and 3 SCI groups (10 in each group). The rats in the SCI groups were established SCI model at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after SCI. Small intestine mucous membrane tissue was identified and assayed by transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscope and immunofluorescence microscopy.

RESULTSSmall intestine mucous membrane tissue in control group was not damaged significantly, but those in SCI groups were damaged significantly. Proliferation bacteria in gut lumen attached on microvilli. The extracellular bacteria torn the intestinal barrier and perforated into the small intestinal mucosal epithelial cell. The bacteria and a lot of particles of the seriously damaged region penetrated into the lymphatic system and the blood system directly. Some bacteria were internalized into the goblet cell through the apical granule. Some bacteria and particles perforated into the submucosa of the M cell running the long axis of M cells through the tight junctions. In the microcirculation of mucosa, the bacteria that had already broken through the microvilli into blood circulation swim accompanying with erythrocytes.

CONCLUSIONThe routes of bacterial translocation interact and format a vicious circle. At early step, the transcellular pathway of bacterial translocation is major. Following with the destroyed small intestine mucous, the routes of bacterial translocation through the lymphatic system and the blood system become direct pathways. The goblet cell-dendritic cell and M cell pathway also play an important role in the bacterial translocation.

Objective To survey the multi-drug resistance among the isolates of methicillinresistant Staphyloeocus from lower respiratory tract in post-cardiothoracic surgery patients and the risk factors contributing to infection aggravation.Methods The clinical data of lower respiratory tract infections were reviewed retrospectively from June 2011 to December 2012.The antimicrobial susceptibility testing was analyzed according to CLSI breakpoints 2010.Results A total of 323 clinical isolates was identified in 264 patients,including gram-positive coccus (126 strains) and gram-negative bacillus (197 strains).The prevalence of methiciIlin-resistant srtains was 88.5 ％ (54/61)in Staphylococus.Aureus (MRSA),and 77.3％ (17/22) in Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE).No VISA or VRSA strain was identified.One enterococcal strain was resistant to Vancomycin and teicoplanin.MRSA/MRSE were also isolated from hands and nasal vestibule of nurses,article surfae,pipeline/interface of breathing machine and ward atmosphere.Conclusions Patients after cardiothoracic operation are susceptible to lower respiratory tract infection with gram positive cocci,which should be paid more attention to airway management.Rational administration,sterile operation and antimicrobial therapy are effective ways for control of multi-durg resistance.
