OBJECTIVE By using the VITEK32 and Microscan AS-4 microbiology identification system to identify the external quality control(QC) strains of microbes,to find out the difference and the coincidence degree with quality assessment result of the two systems. METHODS Thirty nine various strains of QC bacteria were isolated and cultured according to operation rule,and were identified by VITEK-32 and Microscan AS-4 and compared within them. RESULTS The coincidence rate of VITEK-32 and Microscan AS-4 to identify directly their species was 76.9% and 69.5% for 39 strains of QC bacteria,It was 89.7% and 76.9% after the serum or further tests,and the coincidence rate was 90.9% and 81.8% in 22 strains of Gram negatives,and 88.2% and 58.8% in 17 strains of Gram positives. CONCLUSIONS The detectable rate and coincidence rate of VITEK-32 are superior to those of Microscan AS-4,especially in the identification of Enterococcus and Streptococcus,the accuracy of Gram negatives is good,and of Gram positives is short,both them could not identify Salmonella and Shigella to their species.

Objective To evaluate the usefulness of cytologic examinations of pancreatic duct brushing obstained during ERCP in diagnosis of pancreatic neoplasms. Methods In 27 patients with suspected manlignancy, cytologic examinations of pancreatic duct brushing during ERCP were performed. Results The positive rate of brush cytology was 55.6%.The results were affected by the location of lesion, correct cytodiagnoses of cancer were 69.2% in cancer at the head of the pancreas and 60% in cancer of the body. The accuracy rate of ERCP was 77.8%.However, by combining these 2 methods, the accuracy rate rose to 100%. Conclusion Our results confirm the significance,safety,and usefulness of the cytologic specimens obtained at the time of ERCP for the diagnosis of pancreatic neoplasms.

Objective To investigate rectal visceral perception、 anorectal manometry and colonic transit time in functional constipation and constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and to assess their variety of manometric abnormalities. Methods The cases with functional constipation and constipation-predominant IBS were studied in a colonic transit test by radiopaque markers. Rectal visceral perception thresholds, rectal compliance and anorectal manometry were examined in patients with functional constipation or constipation-predominant IBS by electric barastat. Results The colonic transit time in both groups of constipation patients was abnormal. A lot of radiopaque markers remined in right colon when patients with constipation-predominant IBS were examined, as the patients with functional constipation in anorectum. The anorectal resting pressure, squeeze pressure and relaxation pressure were similar in both groups. Rectal compliance and defecation thresholds were much higher than normal, and the rectal visceral perception of functional constipation was also abnormal. Conclusion The motility abnormalities between functional constipation and constipation-predominant IBS occure in the different colonic segments. The results suggested that colonic transit test and anorectal manometry might provide a method in differentiatial diagnosis.

Objective: To assess the surgical techniques and surgical outcomes of temporoparietooccipital and parietooccipital disconnection. Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective review of clinical, neuropsychological, EEG, imaging data in 16 patients with intractable epilepsy who underwent temporoparietooccipital and parietooccipital disconnection between April 2008 and October 2011. Of the 16 cases, 12 were males and 4 were females. The age of seizure onset was from 0.1 to 27 years (average 6.6) and disease duration of 0.1 to 18 years (average 7.5). The surgery was performed between the age of 3 and 37 years (average 14.1). Nine patients underwent temporoparietooccipital disconnection, 5 patients parietooccipital disconnection and 2 patient parietooccipital disconnection and temporal lobotomy. Results: After a mean follow-up of 1.6 years (range 0.5–3.9 years), 13 patients (81%) were seizure free, 1 patient had Engel Class II seizure outcome and 2 patient had Engel class III outcome. Two patients exhibited severe brain swelling and one patients had second resective operation with good recovery. None of the patients developed new motor defi cits postoperatively and there was no mortality. Conclusion: Temporoparietooccipital and parietooccipital is a safety and effective epilepsy surgery procedure for patients with epileptic zone localization to the posterior quadrant on one side. The results of surgical disconnection for posterior quadrantic epilepsy have yielded excellent seizure outcomes in 81% of the patients, with no mortality or major morbidity.

Objective To explore the possible role of vitamin D in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Me-thods After the IgAN model was successfully induced at 12 weeks, the BALB/C mice were randomly divided into IgAN group (n=15) and IgAN+VitD group (n=15). The nephrosis mice were administrated with 100 μl/d propylene glycol or propyl-ene glycol+1,25(OH)2D, 3 ng/(100g?d), for 6 weeks. The control group was setted (n=15). The level of 24 hour urine protein was determined at week 0, 12 and 18. At week 18, the levels of serum 25(OH)D, ifbroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and galactose-deifcient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) were detected. The mRNA and protein expressions of interleukin-21 (IL-21) in Peyer’s patches (PPs) were detected by lfuorescent quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and western blot respectively. The protein expression of Bcl-6 was detected by western blot. The percentages of Tfh cells/T lymphocytes, B220+IgM+/B lympho-cytes, B220+IgA+/B lymphocytes, B220-IgA+/B lymphocytes in PPs were determined by lfow cytometry. Results Compared with control group, the levels of 24 hour urine protein, FGF23 and Gd-IgA1 were increased, serum 25(OH)D was decreased, the mRNA and protein expressions of IL-21 and the protein level of Bcl-6 were increased, the percentages of Tfh cells/T lym-phocytes, B220+IgM+/B lymphocytes, B220+IgA+/B lymphocytes, B220-IgA+/B lymphocytes were elevated in IgAN group (P<0.05). These indicators were improved in IgAN+VitD group. Compared with the IgAN group, the differences were statisti-cally signiifcant (P<0.05), however compared with control group, some indicators showed no signiifcant differences (P>0.05). Conclusions 1,25(OH)2D may protect the microenvironment of PPs in IgAN through inhibiting the differentiation of Tfh cells and B cells and the generation of Gd-IgA1.

OBJECTIVE To explore the factors and effective preventive method of nosocomial lower respiratory(infection) after general anesthesia through trachea intubation.METHODS Using bacterial culture and identification technique to detect the samples collected from pipe and the sides of anesthetic machine,from disposable virus/(bacteri)a respiratory filter and buccal and bronchial secretion of patients with general anesthesia through trachea(intubation.) RESULTS Eight of 15 anesthetic machines without disinfection were with positive bacterial culture.All sides of virus/bacteria respiratory filter,and buccal and bronchial secretion of patients during operation had same(bacteria.) No bacteria growth was found in anesthetic machine and disposable virus/bacteria respiratory filter used after operation.The same bacteria as from buccal secretion were isolated from anesthetic machine in patients(without) using virus/bacteris respiratory filter.CONCLUSIONS The(results) showed the anesthetic machine is more easy to be contaminated by patients,and the reuse of anesthetic machine is an important factor for nosocomial(lower) respiratory infection after general anesthesia through trachea intubation.Intensifying periodic disinfection of(anesthetic) machine and using virus/bacteria respiratory filter can prevent contamination between anesthetic(machine) and patients and decrease nosocomial lower respiratory(infection) after operation.

We used SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), immunoblotting of monoclonal antibody (McAb) J28 and peanutagglutinin (PNA) for detecting fetoacinar pancreatic protein (FAP) in extracts of 20 cases of fetal pancreas, 5 of pancreatic cancer and 4 of normal pancreas. The result showed that fetal pancreas and pancreatic cancer had a same level band about 110000 in Commassie blue stain, but absent in normal pancreas. The band could react with both McAb J28 and PNA PNA also could react with smaller glycoprotein in pencreatic cancer. It is suggested that McAb J28 and PNA combine with different sites of FAP.

This histochemical binding of horseradish peroxidase labeled peanut agglutinin (HRP?PNA) to paraffin sections of 18 cases of pancreatic cancer was investigated with 5 case of normal pancreas and 8 pancreatitis as the control. The PAN receptor was not found in the normal pancreas, but it appeared in 15 cases of pancreatic cancer (82%). Three cases of pancreatitis presented positive stainings of PNA binding (37%). There were 3 kinds of PNA binding forms: (1) linear distribution along the gland of carcinoma cells; (2) round staining with the ductal epithelium; and (3) diffuse scattering with an increased dot staining. There was a good relationship between the staining degree and cell differentiation. The positive staining increased when the cell was transformed from inflammation to carcinogenesis, and decreased from well differentiation to poorly differentiation.

Objective To conclude partial traumatic hemipelvectomy score and assess its value in partial traumatic hemipelvectomy treatment.Methods Data of the managements of 14 partial traumatic hemipelvectomy patients between January 2003 and December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.10 of these patients were males and 4 females,with an average age of 31 (range,21-55).11 patients were brought directly to the hospital emergency department,and 3 patients were transferred from other hospitals.According to Tile classification system,all pelvic fractures were type C fracture:nine with type C 1,three with type C2 and two with type C3.Partial traumatic hemipelvectomy score was concluded according to soft tissue injury severity,the distance between hemi-pelvic and body axis,injury degree of iliac vessel and nerve.All these factors were further classified into four grades (range,1-4) on the basis of injury severity.Based on clinic outcomes and our experiences,hemipelvectomy should be performed at the early stage when patients had scores more than 12;if the score was between 8 and 12,reassessment should be done according to practical situation and hemipelvectomy was recommended;if the score was between 4 and 8,limb salvage was strongly recommended;if the score was below 4,limb salvage should be done.Results All 14 patients were assessed by partial traumatic hemipelvectomy.The average score was 11 (range,9-14).12 of them were scored at the range of 9-12.2 of them had scores more than 12.3 patients died during the initial resuscitation stage.7 patients underwent completion of the hindquarter amputation after control of hemorrhage and all the patients were successfully survived.Limb preservation was attempted in 4 patients:3 of them died eventually because of infection.1 patient underwent hip disarticulation in emergency operation,but this patient eventually required hindquarter amputation for severe infection.Conclusion Partial traumatic hemipelvectomy score could be a rapid and accurate tool in initial assessment of partial traumatic hemipelvectomy.After the control of hemorrhage,early hemipelvectomy could lower the death rate of this kind of patients.
