Objective: To study the probiotic properties of 12 selected strains of lactobacilli.Methods: The probiotic properties of 12 selected strains of lactobacilli were investigated for their resistance to pH 2.5 and 0.3% oxgall,their adhesion to Caco-2 cells and antimicrobial activity against enteric pathogenic bacteria.Results: The 12 strains all showed relatively high resistance to acid and bile salt and varied antimicrobial activities against pathogenic bacteria of intestinal infection.Lactobacillus johnsonii JCM1022 exhibited a broad inhibitory effect on enteric pathogenic bacteria,especially on enteropathgenic E.coli and Salmonella enteritidis,while Lactobacillus reuteri JCM1081 possessed a high activity of adhesion to Caco-2 cells(495.07?80.03).Conclusion: Among the 12 strains,Lactobacillus johnsonii JCM1022 and reuteri JCM1081 are qualified candidates for clinical application.

Objective To investigate the curative effects of laparocopic treatment for cystiduodenal internal fistula. Methods All procedures were conducted under laparoscope. After the exposure of the cholecystic base, trans-cholecystic cholangiography was performed to detect the relations between the cholecyst and neighboring organs. Once the internal fistula was confirmed, the orifice of fistula was closed laparoscopically. Then abdominal drainage, gastrointestinal decompression, and administration of somatostatin were routinely employed. Results In a series of 327 cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) with intraoperative cholangiography, a total of 6 cases of cystiduodenal internal fistula were detected, all of which were anatomized and closed successfully under laparoscope. No postoperative hemorrhage or duodenal bile leakage occurred. Conclusions Routine intraoperative cholangiography during LC is beneficial to the detection of the cystiduodenal internal fistula.Effective and reliable management rests upon skillful laparoscopic techniques of dissection and fistula closure, as well as the supportive treatment.

Objective To understand the basic circumstance of the hospital infection,and to improve the knowledge of medical staff on the management of hospital infection.Methods With bedside observation and examination combined with checking clinical case history,462 inpatients were investigated on current rate of hospital infection and its related factors.Results There were 30 inpatients suffering from hospital infection,the current rate of the hospital infection was 6.49 %;among them,the rate of the lower respiratory tract accounted for 33.00%.The current rates of hospital infection in inpatients with antibiotics(16.56%),or with treatment of urinary catheters(18.52%),or with operation(16.30%),with more than one month hospitalization(19.05%) were significantly higher than those of inpatients without antibiotics(1.00%),without treatment of urinary catheters(5.75%),without operation(4.05%) or with less than one month hospitalization(4.55%)(all P

SUMMARY Intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin ( BCG) was a common treatment for non-muscle inva-sive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. The complication of prostatic abscess was rare. We reported a case of tuberculous prostatic abscess after BCG therapy. A 65-year-old man was diagnosed as bladder cancer and accepted transurethral resection of bladder tumor ( TURBT) treatment. He received a 6-week induction course without any infection complication. Following the second BCG maintenance instillation, he complained of fever and dysuria. Transrectal ultrasound ( TRUS) demonstrated a well-defined complex mass in the right lobe of his prostate. The diagnosis of tuberculous prostatic abscess was considered after excluding other bacterial infection. The patient was treated with an anti-tuberculous regimen of isoniazid, rifampicin, and ethambutol. The symptoms were relieved after 4 weeks of anti-tuberculous therapy. Be-cause of the good response to the medicine, no further aspiration or drainage of prostatic abscess was car-ried out. The anti-tuberculous therapy had to be stopped for serious drug induced liver injury after 6 weeks of anti-tuberculous therapy. Eight weeks later of stopping anti-tuberculous therapy, the follow-up TRUS showed the disappearance of the prostatic abscess and the test of his liver function was normal. Considering the virulence of BCG is weaker than that of common tuberclebacillus, the shorter course of anti-tuberculous therapy maybe an alternative choice, and surgical drainage is not always necessary.

Objective:To investigate the expression of myocardium connexin 43 (Cx43) in late exercise preconditioning (LEP) cardioprotection.Methods: Eight-week-old adult male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned into four groups (n=8). Myocardial injury was judged in accordance with serum levels of cTnⅠ and NT-proBNP as well as hematoxylin basicfuchsin picric acid staining of myocardium.Cx43mRNA was detected byin situhybridization and qualified by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Cx43 protein was localized by immunohistochemistry and its expression level was determined by western blotting.Results:The LEP obviously attenuated the myocardial ischemia/hypoxia injury caused by exhaustive exercise. There was no significant difference of Cx43mRNA level between the four groups. Cx43 protein level was decreased significantly in group EE (P<0.05). However, LEP produced a significant increase in Cx43 protein level (P<0.05), and the decreased Cx43 protein level in exhaustive exercise was significantly up-regulated by LEP (P<0.05).Conclusions:LEP protects rat heart against exhaustive exercise-induced myocardial injury by up-regulating the expression of myocardial Cx43.

Objective To study the effects of mosapride and domperidone on the pulmonary infection of acute stroke patients lying in bed and with nasal feeding. Methods Eighty-nine acute stroke patients lying in bed and with nasal feeding were divided randomly into the treatment group (47 cases) and the control group (42 cases). The control group was treated routinely,and the treatment group was treated with mosapride 5 mg and domporidone 20 mg thrice a day for 4 weeks, besides routine therapy. The incidence rate of pulmonary infection, gastric residual volume (GRV) and the number of cases with gastric contents remaining after 3 hours of nasal feeding were studied. All data were analyzed statistically. Results In the treatment group, 13 cases had pulmonary infection,and the incidence rate was 27.66%(13/47). In the control group,25 cases had pulmonary infection,and the incidence rate was 59.52% (25/42). There was significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.01 ). Three hours after nasal feeding,24 cases with gastric contents remaining were discovered in the treatment group,and GRV was (50.80±15.38) ml. Two hundred and thirty-seven cases with gastric contents remaining were discovered in the control group, and GRV was (112.17±32.54) ml. Significance differences were also detected between the two groups (P<0.01). Conclusion As for the acute stroke patients lying in bed and with nasal feeding,mosapride and domperidone can remarkably cut down the pulmonary infection upon common treatment.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing in elderly patients with permanent cardiac pacemaker implantation due to bradyarrhythmias, and the relationship between pacing mode and patients' sleep apnea-hypopnea index.Methods Forty-four elderly patients (＞60 years) with cardiac pacemaker and their 44 controls matched for gender, age, body mass index and cardiovascular morbidity were studied using polysomnography or portable sleep monitoring device. Results Prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing (apnea-hypopnea index ≥5/h) was 44.7% and the mean apnea-hypopnea index was 8.2 ±4.1/h in the cardiac pacemaker group, which were significantly higher than those in control subjects (25% and 4.6±2.4/h, respectively, P＜0.01 and P＜0.05). The mean apnea-hypopnea index of patients with DDD or AAI pacemaker was significantly lower than that of patients with VVI pacemaker. Conclusions Sleep-disordered breathing was more common in patients who had their cardiac pacemaker implanted due to bradyarrhythmias than in their matched controls. Compared with VVI pacing, DDD or AAI pacing may be more beneficial to patients with bradyarrhythmias and sleep-disordered breathing.

Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) is a herb used widely in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as an antianginal drug. The exact mechanism whereby TMP treat ischemic heart disease is still not fully understood. The purpose of this study is to examine the anti-inflammatory effect of TMP in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Methods Thirty-two patients with acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina were randomly assigned to TMP group or control group. All patients received the same standard treatment. Patients in TMP group received TMP 3mg/kg every 12 hours for 5 days. Plasma concentrations of high-sensitivity Creactive protein (CRP), serum amyloid A (SAA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) were measured at baseline and after 5 days of therapy. Results Both CRP and SAA concentrations increased significantly in control group (P＜0.05) whilst in TMP group, only SAA had a significant increase (P＜0.05); the absolute increase of CRP, SAA, and PAI-1 were significantly less in TMP group than in control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion TMP has an anti-inflammatory and profibrinolytic effect in patients with ACS. These effects may contribute to the clinical benefits of TMP in ischemic heart disease.

Objective To investigate the expression of heat shock protein 5 (HSPA5) in breast carcinoma and to study its relationship with clinical and pathological factors.Methods HSPA5 from 97 cases of breast carcinoma and 40 cases of adjacent tissues of breast carcinoma were examined by immunohistochemical method.Results The overall positive rate of HSPA5 in 97 cases of breast cancer was 81.4 ％ (79/97).The positive rates of HSPA5 in cancer tissues and paired normal tissues were 32.5 ％ (13/40) and 7.5 ％ (3/40),respectively.The expression rate of HSPA5 in tumor tissues was significantly higher than that in normal tissues (x2 =7.813,P =0.038).The expression of HSPA5 in breast carcinoma was correlated with histologic grade and lymph node metastasis (x2 =22.233,P =0.007; x2 =5.342,P =0.024).Conclusion The occurrence of breast carcinoma and the formation of invasion may be related with overexperssion of HSPA5.
