BACKGROUND: A large number of preclinical experimental data have shown that stem cells can regulate the immune function, and serve the function of cell replacement. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the anti-inflammatory effects of stem cells in the treatment of ischemic stroke, based on which, we further discuss the specific mechanisms. METHODS: We conducted a systematic and comprehensive search in PubMed, Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, Ovid, EBSCO databases. The range of retrieval time was from 2012 to 2017. The keywords were stem cells, stroke, inflammation, immune. Totally 110 articles were retrieved initially, and 47 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: By reading extensive literature, we analyzed and summarized the research status quo of the anti-inflammatory effects of neural stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells and endothelial cells in the treatment of ischemic stroke. The mechanisms mainly include reducing focal inflammation, immune regulation, promoting the secretion of various neurotrophic factors, reducing secondary cell death, protecting neurons and promoting cell function recovery and further promoting the recovery of nerve function. The mechanisms underlying local immune regulation and anti-inflammatory effects of stem cells are mainly described as the shift from M1 to M2 macrophages under the intervention of stem cell factors, to intervene secreted immune cytokine profiles and exert effects on inhibition and polarization of glial cells. Further investigation is required on the anti-inflammatory effects and immune regulation of stem cell therapy for stroke.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the pathogenic distribution and drug resistance of nosocomial infection occurred in pediatric patients with hematologic malignancy and therefore provide the information in rational administration of antibiotics to pediatric patients with hematologic malignancy complicated with nosocomial infection.METHODS Flora cultivation and isolation were operated with the routine methods and drug-sensitivity was determined by Kirby-Bauer method.RESULTS Totally 116 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated,in which included 78 strains of G-bacteria and 38 strains of G+ bacteria.Fungi were also very common.In this study,both G-and G+ bacteria were resistant to antimicrobial agents tested.CONCLUSIONS The bacterial spectrum and their drug-resistance characteristics in pediatric patients with hematologic malignancy are quite different to that encountered in pediatric patients with other systemic diseases.Most strains present high resistance to antibiotics,so our administration of antibiotics for nosocomial infections should be directed and carry out according to the susceptibility tests in different area and different periods.

Objective To study the relationship between programmed death-1 (PD-1)/programmed death-1 ligand (PD-L1) expressions and serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. Methods A total of 137 CHB patients and 10 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from fresh blood samples. HBV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) was expanded in vitro in 64 human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-A2 positive patients. Flow cytometry was used to detect HLA-A2 type,expressions of PD-1/PD-L1 on PBMCs and PD-1 on HBV specific CTL. Interferon gamma (IFN-γ)was measured by commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. PD-1/PD-L1expressions on PBMCs, HBV-specific CTL and IFN-γ level in PBMC culture medium were compared among patients with different baseline HBV DNA levels. Ten hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positive patients were treated with telbivudine for 24 weeks. The above mentioned parameters were determined and compared before and after the antiviral treatment. Independent-samples t test were used to compare means between two groups and one-way A NOVA were used to compare means among multigroups. We used the pearson corretation test to assess corretation significance. Results The PD-1 and PD-L1 expressions on PBMCs in patients with baseline HBV DNA＜3 lg copy/mL, 3-6 lg copy/mL and ＞6 lg copy/mL were all significant higher than those in healthy control group, but no statistical differences were found. PD-1 expressions on HBV-specific CTL in the three CHB patient groups were (69.3±11.2)%, (76.5±9. 1)% and (78.0±11.7)%, respectively. However, PD-1 expression on HBV-specific CTL was higher, while the frequency of HBV-specific CTL cells was lower in HBV DNA ＞6 lg copy/mL group compared to HBV DNA＜3 lg copy/mL group. The above parameters, including expressions of PD-1 and PD-L1, the frequency of HBV-specific CTL and its PD-1 expression were not significantly different between HBeAg-positive group and HBeAg-negative group. Compared with baseline, PD-1 and PD-L1 expression decreased obviously accompanying with increase of HBV-specific CTL cells frequency and IFN-γ level after 12 weeks and 24 weeks of telbivudine treatment. Conclusions PD-1 expression on HBV-specific CTL correlates with serum HBV DNA level, but not HBeAg status in CHB patients. Suppression of HBV replication can reduce PD-1/PD-L1 expressions and partially restore HBV specific CTL function.

Objective To construct and implement the nursing quality information feedback system based on QUACERS model and control theory, and discuss its application effect and the problems that should be paid attention to and to provide operational cases and practical basis for nursing quality management. Methods Through literature review and expert consultation, the framework and content of nursing quality information feedback system were set up and implemented. The changes of the nursing quality and the repeated occurrence of nursing problems were evaluated before (2013) and after (2015) the implementation of this project. And in December 2015, a self-made questionnaire was conducted among the nurses in the hospital to evaluate the importance of the feedback and it′s effect of improving the nursing quality. And evaluate the timeliness and effectiveness of different feedback forms. Results 1 120 and 1 136 nurses were followed-up in 2013 and 2015 respectively. The scores of human resource management, clinical nursing service and nursing safety management were higher than before, and the repeated occurrence of nursing problems was lower than before. A total of 450 questionnaires were distributed, 438 copies were collected, the effective recovery rate was 97.33%. Ratings for the importance of each item was from 3.37 to 4.57. Ratings for the effect of improving the quality of care was 3.79 to 4.39. The percentage of quality information received by nurses was more than 95%, and the average score of feedback timeliness was 4.29 to 4.53. Conclusions Quality information feedback system based on QUACERS model can cover multiple dimensions of quality management, and it was conducive to obtaining comprehensive information;Combined with multiple feedback forms can improve the effect of information feedback.

We aim to develop and implement a disaster medicine curriculum for medical student education,so the six-step approach to curriculum development for medical education has been used as a formal process instrument. Recognized experts in disaster health care have provided input using disaster-related physician training programs, scientific evidence if available, proposals for education by international disaster medicine organizations and their expertise as the basis for content development. The final course consists of 14 modules composed of 2-h units. The concepts of disaster medicine, including response, med-ical assistance, law, command, coordination, communication, and mass casualty management, are intro-duced. Hospital preparedness plans and experiences from worldwide disaster assistance are reviewed. Life-saving emergency and limited individual treatment under disaster conditions are discussed . Specifics of initial management of explosive, war-related, radiological/nuclear, chemical, and biological incidents empha-sizing infectious diseases and terrorist attacks are presented. An evacuation exercise is completed, and a mass casualty triage is simulated in collaboration with local disaster response agencies. Decontamination procedures are demonstrated at the local fire department, and personal decontamination practices are exer-cised. Mannequin resuscitation is practiced while personal protective equipment is utilized. An interactive review of professional ethics, stress disorders, psychosocial interventions, and quality improvement efforts complete the training. The curriculum offers medical disaster education in a reasonable time frame, interdis-ciplinary format, multi-experiential course and flexible structure. It can serve as a template for basic medi-cal student disaster education.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in delayed perihematomal edema (dPHE) after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH).Methods:Patients with sICH admitted to Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University Medical School within 24 h of onset from January 2018 to June 2020 were enrolled retrospectively. Serum MMP-9 levels and peripheral blood cell counts were detected, and NLR were calculated within 24 h of onset. dPHE was defined as an increase of 3 ml in absolute edema volume at 10-21 d after onset of sICH compared with that at 5-9 d. The demographic and baseline clinical and imaging data of the dPHE group and the non-dPHE group were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent predictors of dPHE. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive values of MMP-9 and NLR for dPHE. Results:A total of 195 patients with sICH (61.88±10.60 years old) were enrolled in the study. One hundred and forty-eight patients were males (75.9%). There were 53 patients (27.2%) in the dPHE group and 142 (72.8%) in the non-dPHE group. Univariate analysis showed that age, baseline hematoma volume, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, fasting blood glucose, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, MMP-9, neutrophil count, NLR and the proportion of irregular hematoma in the dPHE group were significantly higher than those in the non-dPHE group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors, higher MMP-9 (odds ratio [ OR] 4.291, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 2.041-6.590; P=0.007) and higher NLR ( OR 2.530, 95% CI 1.157-4.022; P=0.011) were all the independent predictors of dPHE. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of MMP-9 for predicting dPHE was 0.819 (95% CI 0.756-0.884; P<0.001), the optimal cut-off value was 164.0 μg/L, and the sensitivity and specificity were 86.79% and 66.90% respectively. The area under the curve of NLR for predicting dPHE was 0.788 (95% CI 0.719-0.856; P<0.001), the optimal cut-off value was 5.683, and the corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 77.36% and 71.13% respectively. Conclusions:sICH patients with higher baseline MMP-9 and NLR are more likely to develop dPHE. Early detection of MMP-9 and NLR in peripheral blood after admission can predict dPHE.

OBJECTIVETo explore the pathological features and prognosis of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMN) based on WHO classification 2010.

METHODSSeventy consecutive cases of AMN were classified into 5 groups according to WHO classification of digestive system tumors in 2010 including mucinous adenomas/cystadenoma (MA), low grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMN), low grade pseudomyxoma peritoneum originated from appendix (PMP-L), invasive mucinous adenocarcinomas (MAC) and high grade pseudomyxoma peritoneum originated from appendix (PMP-H). Clinicopathological features, classification, treatment and prognosis of AMN were investigated retrospectively.

RESULTSThere were 11 cases of MA with neoplastic epithelium and mucin being defined in lumen and mucosa but without invasive lesions, and no relapse or death was found. In 41 LAMN cases, mucin was found in submucosa, muscularis proparis, or serosa of appendix, no or only scant mucinous epithelium with low grade dysplasia presented in mucinous pools in most cases (39/41). Among 41 LAMN cases, 3 developed relapse or PMP-L, and no death was observed. In 7 PMP-L cases, low grade dysplastic mucinous epithelium in mucinous pools could be found easily in 3 cases and was very scanty in 4 cases, with 1 relapse and 1 death. Eleven invasive carcinomas were found, including 7 MAC cases and 4 PMP-H cases, with local high grade dysplastic epithelium at least. In these invasive lesions, 4 cases recurred and 3 case died (including 2 recurred cases above). MA and LAMN were both non-invasive neoplasms histologically, however, PMP-L, MAC and PMP-H were regarded as adenocarcinomas according to their biological behavior.

CONCLUSIONAMN displays a relatively homogeneous group of neoplasms that pursues a predictable clinical course based on their nature, so it is necessary to diagnose and administrative accurately with consistently standards for these neoplastic entities.
