Objective To investigate the expression and significances of DPP-4 and IL-6 in febrile seizures(FS).Methods FS were induced in Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats at P14 in a hot water bath by using classical model of hyperthermia-induced seizures.A genome-wide microarray experiment was generated in the rats.The relationship between the differentially expressed genes were analyzed by the method of bioinformatics, and the gene and protein levels of DPP-4 and IL-6 were detected by QPCR,WB and ELISA.Selected 50 children with FS(FS group) and 25 healthy children(control group), and to compare the gene and protein levels of DPP-4 and IL-6 between the two groups.Results Interaction network diagram of differential gene expression showed that there may be interactions between DPP-4 and IL-6.Animal and clinical experiments showed that the DPP-4 and IL-6 gene and protein levels were significantly higher in FS group compared with control group(P<0.05).Conclusion There were high gene and protein expressions of DPP-4 and IL-6 in the FS group compared with the control group.These results indicated that immune and inflammations may play an important role in the FS, and it has provided an attractive pharmacological target for the treatment of FS in clinic.

Objective To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of bacterial pathogens isolated from orthopedic wounds.Methods Data of bacterial strains isolated trom orthopedic wounds in the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2008 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.Strains were identified by using French bioMérieux Vitek32 identification system,and the drug susceptibility was tested by Kirby-Bauer method.Chi-square test for linear trend was performed to reveal the changes of distribution and drug resistance of the strains.Results A total of 2 456 bacterial strains were isolated,vith 1 652 (67.26％) gram-negative bacilli,777 (31.64％) gram-positive cocci,26 (1.06％) fungi,and 1 (0.04％) gram-positive bacillus.The top five pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus (666 strains,27.12％),Pseudomonas aeruginosa (606 strains,24.67％),Acinetobacter baumannii (355 strains,14.45％),Escherichia coli(188 strains,7.65％) and Enterobacter cloacae (187 strains,7.61％).The positive rate of Acinetobacter baumannii was on the rise during 2008 and 2012 (x2 =35.266,P ＜ 0.0l).The rates of pan-drug resistant strains in Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were 6.20％ (22/355) and 0.17％ (1/606),respectively.The rates of extended-spectrum β-lactamases positive strains in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 39.89％ (75/188) and 29.23％ (19/65),respectively.The rates of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus and coagulasenegative Staphylococcus were 40.69％ (271/666) and 52.38％ (22/42),respectively.The rate of vancomycin-intermediate strains in Enterococci was 3.70％ (2/54).The positive rate of methicillin-resistant &aphylococcus aureus was on the rise during 2008 and 2012 (x2 =18.317,P ＜ 0.01).Staphylococcus aureus were sensitive to teicoplanin,vancomycin and linezolid; Resistance rates to rifampicin and amikacin were 11.29％-33.33％; Resistance rates to penicillins and erythromycin were 76.80％-100.00％; Resistance rates to cefazolin,cefuroxime,cefoxitin,amikacin and levofloxacin were on the rise (P ＜ 0.05) ; And resistance rates to sulfamethoxazole (28.11％-48.35％) were on the decline in the same period (P ＜ 0.01).Resistance rates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to imipenem,meropenem and sulfamethoxazole were on the rise (P ＜ 0.05) ; Resistance rates to ciprofloxacin,levofloxacin,amikacin,gentamicin and piperacillin/ tazobactam were on the decline (P ＜ 0.05) ; Resistance rates to cefoperazone/sulbactam were the lowest (9.15％-20.51％).Resistance rates of Acinetobacter baumannii to imipenem,meropenem,levofloxacin,piperacillin/tazobactam,sulfamethoxazole were on the rise (P ＜ 0.01); Resistance rates to cefoperazone/ sulbactam were the lowest (11.86％-19.70％).Escherichia coli and Enterobacter cloacae were sensitive to imipenem and meropenem,and the resistance rates to cefoperazone/sulbactam and piperacillin/tazobactam were low (0-14.29％); Resistance rates of Escherichia coli to piperacillin,cefepime,amikacin,levofloxacin,cefoperazone/sulbactam were on the decline (P ＜ 0.05) ; Resistance rates of Enterobacter cloacae to cefoxitin were on the rise (P ＜ 0.01),while the resistance rates to piperacillin,ceftazidime,cefoperazone,ceftriaxone,levofloxacin were on the decline (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion During 2008 and 2012,the predominant bacterial pathogens of orthopedic wound in patients of the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University are Staphylococcus aureus,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Acinetobacter baumannii,Escherichia coli and Enterobacter cloacae,and most strains are multiple drug resistant.

Adriamycin (ADM) was encapsulated in multivesicular lipasomes which composed of lipids of eggs origin. The chemothera-peutic activity of the encapsulated ADM was compared with that of free ADM at equal doses in micc bearing SRS lymphoma. The results showed that encapsulation of ADM into lipo-somes resulting in markedly increased efficacy than free ADM. At the dose of 1 mg?kg-1 (every 24 h for 3 separate intraperitoneal injections) , free ADM and ADM entrapped intolipasomes with the same dose had 1. 5 times and 3 times increase the survival time of SRS lymphoma mice respectively as compared with that of the control. The curative rate of mice treated by liposome ADM was 100% on 30 days and 60% on 60 days. The results of LD50 determination showed that the acute toxicity of mice treated by liposome ADM was much less than that of the mice treated with free ADM.

Objective To investigate the factors and rate of the forming of the collateral feeding arteries from inferior phrenic artery(IPA) in hepatocellular carinoma(HCC).Methods IPA was demonstrated on angiographs in 137 patients with HCC during transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE),TACE was performed through diaphragmatic inferior artery(DIA) super setectively.Results Of 137 cases,21 cases underwent TACE through DIA(15.3%),of them 2 cases were recurrent after surgical operation(9.5%),3 cases had the tumor receive blood supply from IPA at first TACE(14.3%) and 16 cases were occured after TACE tow and more times(76.2%).Conclusion Collateral branches originated from IPA are important feeding arteries in HCC,TACE of IPA can be performed with a high success rate without major complications.
