Objective:To evaluate the impact and predictive value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio( NLR) ,derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio( d-NLR) ,platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio( PLR) and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio( LMR) on the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer with curative resection.Methods: Retrospective analysis of 205 cases of clinical data and returning data after patients with colorectal cancer surgery,ROC curve was applied to determine thresholds for four biomarkers and their prognostic values were assessed using Kaplan-Meier curve,univariate and multivariate COX regression models of patients with NLR,D-NLR,PLR and LMR and other clinicopathological factors and the relationship between the 5-year recurrent-free survival( RFS).Results:According to the ROC curve,LMR could not be used as a potential diagnostic biomarker for subsequently analysis,for its AUC was less than 0.50, The optimal cut-off values were 3.12 with the highest specificity and sensitivity ( 75% and 73.1%) for NLR, while in the univariate analysis show,NLR,D-NLR and PLR were all risk factors of poor recurrence-free survival ( P<0.05 ) , the multivariate regression analysis,NLR≥3.12 and colorectal cancer staging were independent risk factors of prognosis of colorectal cancer.Conclusion:NLR≥3.12 can provide improved accuracy for predicting clinical outcomes in surgical CRC patients under surgery resection.

Objective To investigate the effect of persistent hypoglycemia on the cerebral oxidative stress and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) activity of newborn rats and to explore the potential mechanism of hypoglycemia-induced brain injury of newborn.MethodsSeven-day-old rats were injected insulin subcutaneously to induce persistent hypoglycemia.Cerebral cortex,hippocampus and thalamus were collected after 36 hours' observation and stored in -80 ℃.Glutathione (GSH)and glutathione disulfide (GSSG) were detected by commercial kit and GSSG/GSH was calculated.MMP-2 activity was detected by gelatin zymography. The data were analyzed by t test,one or two-wayanalysis of variance and Pearson correlation analysis.Six rats were set as the normal glucose group. ResultsThirty-six hours after induction of hypoglycemia, the cerebral GSSG and GSSG/GSH of hypoglycemic pups elevated about 1.5 times higher than those of control group [GSSG:(15.89 ± 5.46) vs (6.15 ± 3.42) mg/g protein,t =3.704,P =0.004; GSSG/GSH:(5.58± 1.79) % vs (2.79±1.76) %,t =2.712,P=0.022].The GSSG and GSSG/GSH in thalamus of hypoglycemia were significantly higher than those of control [GSSG:(15.93 ± 5.75) mg/g protein vs (5.03±5.14)mg/g protein,P<0.05; GSSG/GSH:(6.50±3.25) % vs (2.41±3.12) %,P<0.05],whereas there were no significant differences in the cortex ard hippocampus.The total MMP-2 activity of hypoglycemic animals (2.22±0.59) was significantly higher than that of control (1.21± 0.17)(t=4.064,P=0.002),and significant differences were found between the two groups in cortex (2.14 ± 0.5 vs 1.17± 0.27),hippocampus (2.31± 0.72 vs 1.22 ± 0.37) and thalamus (2.22±0.68 vs 1.24±0.18) with all P<0.01].The activity of MMP-2 was positively related to GSSG (r=0.575,P=0.0002) and GSSG/GSH (r=0.484,P=0.0003).ConclusionsOxidative stress might play an important role in the persistent hypoglycemia induced brain injury of 7-day-old rat pups and thalamus might be most vulnerable to hypoglycemia.Hypoglycemia might also elevate MMP-2 activity which is positively related to GSSG level and GSSG/GSH of the brain.

Objective To compare the difference and rationalities between Harmm and Zhou' s formulae for expected acid-base compensation in acid-base imbalance. Methods 745 cases of arterial blood gas analysis results of acid-base disorder were evaluated respectively by Hamm and Zhou' s formulae, and the concordance was judged. Results For metabolic acidosis ( 108 cases), the concordance rate was 70. 4% between Hamm and Zhou's( Kappa value =0. 41 ,P <0. 01 ) ;for metabolic alkalosis ( 132 cases) ,the concordance rate was 59. 1% ( Kappa value =0. 18 ,P <0. 05) ;for acute respiratory acidosis(81 cases) ,the concordance rate was 65.43% ( Kappa value = 0. 31, P < 0. 01 ) ;for acute respiratory alkalosis ( 168 cases), the concordance rate was 54. 8% ( Kappa value = 0. 24%, P < 0. 01 ); for chronic respiratory acidosis ( 119 cases ), the concordance rate was 67.2% ( Kappa value = 0. 41, P < 0. 01 ) ;for chronic respiratory alkalosis( 137 cases), the concordance rate was 66. 6% ( Kappa value = 0. 43, P < 0. 01 ). Conclusion The difference between Hamm and Zhou' s formulae for expected acid-base compensation in acid-base imbalance was obvious. The Zhou' s expected max compensation coefficient were slightly higher than the primary adopted compensation coefficient.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the drug-resistance of AmpC enzyme derepressing Enterobacter cloacae isolated from patients of respiratory department.METHODS Totally 364 strains of E.cloacae(162 strains from respiration department) collected from Jan 2001 to Dec 2006 were investigated to know their ward distribution,infection site and susceptibility test results.Three-dimensional tests were adopted to test AmpC lactamase.RESULTS Among the total 162 strains from respiration department,AmpC producers were 76 strains,accounting for 46.91%. Among the 202 strains from the other departments,however,AmpC producers were 36 strains,accounting for 17.82%.And drug-resistance of E.cloacae from respiration department was distinctly higher than that from the other departments.CONCLUSIONS E.cloacae from respiratory department has the higher isolating rate and drug-resistance rate.We should take effective measurement to contain nosocomial infections with E.cloacae.

Objectives To systematically evaluate the effect of music given to pregnant rats on the development of brain functions in the offspring rats and to provide scientific evidence for the application of antenatal musical training and the promotion of welfare for laboratory animals.Methods We comprehensively retrieved and collected the research literatures related to the effect of music on brain function development in offsprings of the pregnant rats from Pubmed,Web of Science,Cochrane Library,Wanfang,Weipu,CNKI and CBMdisc.The retrieval time was set from the foundation date of databases to 2 April,2016.We selected literatures according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,evaluated their utilities,then extracted and qualitatively described the data.Results Seven experimental studies were selected in this study including 4 published in Chinese and 3 in English.The object laboratory animals of those studies were Wistar or SD rats.Music materials involved comfort music,classic music,violin concerto(Liangzhu/The butterfly lovers).Intervention were given to the pregnant rats roundly from the gestation until parturition.These results showed that,to some extent,music stimulations during gestation may promote the development of brain function and improve spatial memory of the offspring rats.However,expressions of some functional receptors were not significantly altered.Conclusions Appropriate music provided to the pregnant rats promote the development of brain functions in their offspring.

Objective:To explore the relation among depression, anxiety, coping styles and personality in patients with major depression.Method:88 patients with major depression were assessed on admission. The assessments included Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS),Eysenck Personality Questionnaire and Coping Styles Questionnaire. Nighty normal controls were assessed with the same instruments too.Results:The patients were found having higher scores in Neuroticism and Psychoticism, and lower scores in Extroversion and positive coping styles than normal controls.Higher scores in SDS, SAS, Neuroticism, and Psychoticism, and lower scores in positive coping styles, were found in the patients with anxiety. Significant relationship was found among depression, SAS, Extroversion, and positive coping styles.The last three accounted for 52.0% of the variance of depression.Conclusion:The patients with major depression have high scores in Neuroticism and Psychoticism, and low in Extroversion and positive coping styles.Those with anxiety scored even higher in SDS, SAS, Neuroticism, and Psychoticism, and lower in positive coping styles.The application of little positwe coping styles moy be a part of Extrovision in major depresion.
