OBJECTIVE To investigate the manifestation,fungal spectrum,diagnosis,antifungal therapy and(outcome) of deep fungal infection(DFI) in patients with hematopoietic malignancies.METHODS Fifty-two(patients) of SFI admitted in Shandong Provincial Hospital during Oct 1998 to Sept 2004 were enrolled in this(investigation,) including 34 males and 18 females with mean age of 54 years old.Clinical data,such as manifestation,fungal(spectrum,) treatment and outcome,were observed prospectively and retrospectively.RESULTS Lower respiratory tract,gastrointestinal tract,urinary tract and blood were the main DFI infection sites by order of prevalence.The clinical manifestation was various among cases.Pathogen detection determined the subtypes of fungi were Candida albicans(57.14%),C.tropicalis(21.43%),yeast(47.14%),C.parapsilosis(7.14%),and Aspergillus((5.36%).) Nystatin,fluconazole,flucytosine,and(amphotericin) B were used alone or in(combination) to treat DFI.The rates of curing,improvement and death were 44.23%,23.08% and 32.69%,(respectively).(Among) 52 cases,25(48.08%) were occurred during Oct 2002 to Sept 2004,compared with 27((51.92%)) during Oct 1998 to Sept 2002,suggested the elevated incidence of DFI.CONCLUSIONS The incidence of DFI in patients with hematopoietic malignancies is increasing these years.The clinical manifestation of DFI may be nonspecific.It is critical to pay more attention to the fungal infection among the high-risk patients,therefore fungus detection from various(samples) should be recommended for the sake of early diagnosis of DFI. Though(C.albicans) remains the top in pathogen spectrum analysis,infection of other fungi tends to increase.The mortality of DFI is still very high thus more investigations about early diagnosis and treatment of DFI should be conducted.

Objective:To assess incidence of malnutrition and malnutrition risk of six department patients.Methods:The information of 1 200 patients were collected,200 in each of 6 departments in our hospital.Nutrition status was assessed according to Nutrition Risk Screening(NRS)published by ESPEN in 2001.Results:The incidence of malnutrition and malnutrition risk varied from 7.5% to 59% and 36% to 72% respectively in different department.Conclusion:The incidence of malnutrition is closely related to the kind and severity of the disease.It is nessissary to assess the nutrition status of high risk patients in time.NRS can be used simply and fastly in most inhospital patients.

Objective To investigate the correlation between Young′s elastic modulus (EI) using shear wave elastography (SWE) and liver pathology .Methods Liver biopsy was performed on 231 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) under supersonic guidance ,and SWE with EI of liver was obtained concurrently .The correlation between measured liver stiffness and pathology was analyzed by using the liver pathology as golden standards .One‐way analysis of variance and Spearman rank correlation analysis were performed for the comparison between groups and correlation between two variables , respectively .Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to explore the predictive value of shear modulus for the liver inflammation grades and fibrosis stages .Results The EI medians of different liver inflammation grades were 6 .78 kPa (G1) ,7 .30 kPa (G2) ,9 .93 kPa (G3) and 14 .93 kPa (G4) , respectively ,which were statistically different (H=55 .19 ,P<0 .01) .And EI medians of various fibrosis stages were 6 .62 kPa (S0 -S1) ,7 .15 kPa (S2) ,9 .78 kPa (S3) and 14 .62 kPa (S4) ,respectively , which were also significantly different (H=62 .14 ,P<0 .01) .EI was positively correlated with both liver inflammation grades (r=0 .454 6 ,P<0 .01) and liver fibrosis stages (r=0 .505 6 ,P<0 .01) .The areas under the ROC for G≥2 ,G≥3 and G=4 were 0 .68 (95% CI:0 .61 -0 .75) ,0 .77 (95% CI:0 .70 -0 .84) and 0 .85 (95% CI:0 .77-0 .92) ,respectively .The areas under the ROC for S≥2 ,S≥3 and S=4 w ere 0 .73 (95% C I:0 .66 -0 .79 ) ,0 .78 (95% C I:0 .72 -0 .85 ) and 0 .83 (95% C I:0 .75 -0 .91 ) , respectively .Conclusion The EI measured by SWE is correlated with liver pathology of CHB patients , which may be used to dynamically monitor the progress of liver fibrosis .
