Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2017;33(1):54-56
Objective To investigate the direct economic loss of nosocomial infection at a tertiary hospital, so as to provide data support for the improvement of hospital infection control. Methods Inpatients discharged in 2013-2015 period were divided into two groups at a 1:1 pairing ratio, having those suffering from nosocomial infection in only one occasion as the infection group, and those without as the non-infection group. The two groups were compared of their differences in days of stay and hospitalization expenses. Results The days of stay of the infection group were significantly longer than the non-infection group, averaging 6 days longer in terms of the median. Compared with the non-infection group, the total hospitalization cost and the differences with sub-categories other than the treatment cost were of significance. The costs over the non-infection group were mostly contributed by drugs, accounting for 50. 39%, while 23. 50% of which were spent on antibiotics. The additional antibiotics costs were mainly incurred by respiratory tract infections during hospitalization, as the costs of antimicrobial agents for the infection group were 27. 34 times that of the non-infection group. The second contributor was surgical site infection, with the cost of antibiotics 7. 63 times that of the non-infection group. Conclusions Hospital infections prolong the days of stay, increase direct economic loss, especially increase the cost of antibiotics. Prevention and control of respiratory system and surgical site infection can effectively reduce the direct economic loss of hospital infection.

This study is to explore the effects of quercetin (QUE) on the 3 week-old mice ovarian development and relative hormone levels. The 3 week-old mice were exposed to QUE (45, 25, and 5 mg x kg(-1) x hd(-1)) by gavage for 50 days. The estrous cycle during 50 days and the changes of hormone level such as FSH, LH, etc were monitored. Moreover, the ovaries were removed after sacrifice. The organ index was measured, and the ratios of different stages of follicles were analyzed by HE staining. Furthermore, the proportion of PCNA positive cells during all stages was detected by immunohistochemistry. The results showed that QUE could increase body weight of mice and reduce the anogenital distance (AGD) to some extent, and was able to disrupt mice's estrous cycle, but it could not extend or reduce the cycle regularity. It increased ovarian organ index with a dose-dependent manner. The proportion of the primordial follicle and secondary follicles rose obviously, and that of mature follicles', atretic follicles' and corpus luteums' reduced, while primordial follicle had no change. Immunohistochemistry analysis showed that QUE could effectively increase the percentage of proliferating cells in all kinds of follicles. Serum hormone assay showed that there were significant changes of FSH and LH levels. In summary, QUE showed an estrogen-like effect on mice's ovarian development. The weight of ovary, the proportion of all kinds of follicles, the development of ovarian cells and the level of plasma hormone in mice were altered obviously by oral administration of QUE.

Objective To investigate the way that nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and NPC stem cells develops resistance to cisplatin through anti-reactive oxygen species mechanism. Methods Using CCK-8 cell counting kit, we measured the half inhibitory concentration of cisplatin against NPC cellsCNE-2and NPC stem cellsCNE-2S, and compared their resistant index. We examined the differences in the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, total glutathi?one (GSH) levels, and total superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels between CNE-2 and CNE-2S at different concentrations of cisplatin administration (0.1,0.5 and 1.0μmol·L-1). Using q-PCR, we determined the mRNA expression level of GSS, GCLC, GCLM, SOD1 and SOD2 after 48 hours administration of cisplatin at 1 μmol · L-1. Protein expression level of SOD2 was also tested using Western Blot after 48 hours administration of cisplatin at 1μmol · L-1. Upon silencing the SOD2 in NPC cell through siRNA, Trypan blue was used to analyze cell survival after cisplatin was administrated at 1μmol · L-1. Results The inhibition concentration of cisplatin against CNE-2 was higher than that against CNE-2S (μmol · L-1:9.8 ± 1.1 vs 2.4 ± 0.6,P<0.05). ROS levels in CNE-2 and CNE-2S both rise with cisplatin administration, but ROS levels of CNE-2 before and after cisplatin treatment were both higher than those in CNE-2S (P<0.05). The total gluta?thione levels in CNE-2 and CNE-2S were both increased after 1μmol·L-1 cisplatin treatment but there is no significant dif?ference in levels of glutathione between these two cell lines. After treated with cisplatin, SOD level were increased in both CNE-2S and CNE-2, but it is higher in CNE-2S than that in CNE-2 (P<0.05). The mRNA levels of GSS, GCLC, GCLM, and SOD1 were not different significantly between in CNE-2 and in CNE-2S with or without cisplatin treatment. However, SOD2 in CNE-2S were higher than that in CNE-2 on both mRNA and protein levels (P<0.05). Silenced SOD2 disrupted the resistance of cisplatin in CNE-2S. Conclusion These data suggest that NPC stem cells (CNE-2S) enhance its drug re?sistance to cisplatin through highly expression of SOD2 which posed anti-ROS capacity.
