Objective To probe into the epidemic feature, pa tho genic spectrum and main risk factors of diarrhea during the field training in ar my. Methods Detection of morbidity,investigation of risk factor s and detachment of pathogen were performed. Results The diarrh eal incidence rate of army of field training was 4.36%(106/2 433), which was higher than that of hold garrison(0.98%, 2/204). The incidence rate of officers was lower than that of soldiers. Two incidence peaks concerned with the army motion course were foun d. The detection rate of lapactic bacteria from fecal of patients was 63.1%(65/1 03) and most of them were ETEC, followed by the plesiomonas shigelloides. Se ven ind ividual factors concerned with diarrhea disease were found with logistic analysi s, including dr inking unboiled water, going out to eating and so on. Conclusions Incidence of diarrhea in the army increased obviously during the field training and the chief pathogen are ETEC and plesiomonas shigelloides, at the same time, t he occurrence of diarrhea is related with many individual factors.

To investigate association between prognosis of patients of peritoneal dialysis with their initial high peritoneal solute transport and complications. Two hundred and two patients with end-stage renal disease who began peritoneal dialysis during September 1,2006 to September 1, 2008 at Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing were recruited in the study. They were undergone peritoneal equilibration test within six weeks after initiating peritoneal dialysis, and their types of peritoneal solute transport, complications,nutrition status and outcomes were all recorded until August 31,2010. Their survival rate was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method. Compare to those with other types of solute transport, patients with high peritoneal solute transport showed higher proportion of complications ( P < 0. 05 ) during dialysis, but less ultrafiltration function ( P < 0. 05 ), worse nutrition status ( P < 0. 05 ) and lower cumulative survival rate ( P < 0. 01 ).Among patients with high peritoneal solute transport, cumulative survival rate in those with complication was lower than those without it ( P = 0. 031 ). Prognosis of patients with high peritoneal solute transport possibly varies with their complications in dialysis.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the right-to-left shunt(RLS)detected with contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler (c-TCD) and recurrent stroke in patients with cryptogenic stroke.Methods The consecutive patients w ith ischemic stroke w ere enrol ed. The patients w ith cryptogenic stroke w ere screened according to the TOAST criteria. They w ere divided into either a RLS positive group or a RLS negative group according to the c-TCD findings, and then they w ere fol ow ed up for a period of one year. They w ere also divided into a recurrent group and a non-recurrent group according to w hether they had recurrence or not. Results A total of 118 patients w ith cryptogenic ischemic stroke w ere enrol ed, including 46 in the RLS positive group, 72 in the RLS negative group, 10 in the recurrent group, and 108 in the non-recurrent group. There w ere no significant differences in demographic and baseline data betw een the RLS negative group and the RLS positive group. There w ere significant differences in RLS positive rate (7/10 vs.39/108; P=0.046) and proportion of patients with server RLS (2/10 vs.1/108; P=0.019) betw een the recurrent group and the non-recurrent group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis show ed that the positive RLS w as an independent predictor of recurrent stroke (odds ratio 4.896, 95% confidence interval 1.135-21.120;P=0.033). Conclusions The positive RLS may be an independent risk factor for the recurrence in patients w ith cryptogenic ischemic stroke.

Objective To investigate the phenotypic and genetic characteristics of the lysostaphin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus variants induced by recombinant lysostaphin in vitro .Methods Three clinical isolates of S . aureus ,including two resistant to methicillin (MRSA ) and one susceptible to methicillin (MSSA ) were induced by treatment with sub‐MIC of recombinant lysostaphin via one‐step selection in vitro .Susceptibility of the variants to antibiotics were determined and compared with their parental strains .The full length of femABX genes was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and sequenced to identify the potential mutation sites in these genes .The growth‐curve in liquid medium and virulence in a mouse systemic infection model of both parental and variant strains were observed . Results The frequency of lysostaphin resistance in S . aureus was between 10-4 to 10-8 following induction by lysostaphin . Resistance to lysostaphin was associated with a significant decrease in growth rate in vitro and virulence in vivo ,as well as increased susceptibility toβ‐lactams evidenced by the M IC of β‐lactams against the variants as low as 1/4 000 to 1/2 of the M IC against their parental strains . Sequencing of f emA BX genes showed mutation in femA gene in both variants ,which resulted in a premature termination codon .Conclusions Resistance of S . aureus to lysostaphin may develop following induction by recombinant lysostaphin in vitro . The lysostaphin‐resistant S . aureus variants are characteristic of lower growth rate , decreased virulence ,and higher susceptibility to β‐lactams .

Objective To investigate the predictors of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods The patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to hospital from January 2010 to April 2014 were enroled. The demographics, vascular risk factors, baseline clinical data, and laboratory tests in both groups were colected. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the peripheral blood T helper cel (Th) subgroup. Double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the levels of peripheral blood interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and interleukin-4 (IL-4). Results A total of 143 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enroled, including 56 in a SIRS group and 87 in a non-SIRS group. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in the history of hypertension, history of stroke, baseline systolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, percentage of Th1 cels, and IFN-γ concentration in patients of both groups (al P < 0. 05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the NIHSS score ≥6 (odds ratio [ OR] 2. 40, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1. 24 - 5. 15, P = 0. 008), decreased percentage of Th1 cels (OR 2. 81, 95% CI 1. 51 - 6. 83, P = 0. 013), and decreased IFN-γ concentration (OR 4. 63, 95% CI 1. 01 - 9. 72, P = 0. 004) were the independent predictive factors for occurring SIRS in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Conclusions Severe neurological deficit, decreased percentage of Th1 cels or decreased IFN-γ level may increase the risk of acute ischemic stroke patients with SIRS.

Objective:To investigate the effect of coix seed oil on chemosensitivity of colon cancer cells.Methods:HT29 cell line was cultured in vitro. Different concentrations of coix seed oil (1, 2, 4, 8 mg/ml) and 30 μg/ml 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) were incubated with HT29 cells for 24 hours to simulate chemotherapy. The cell proliferation inhibition rate, apoptosis rate and cell cycle ratio were measured by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method and flow cytometry, and the protein expression of cleaved caspase-3 was measured by Western blot. Results:The inhibition rate of cell proliferation in 1, 2, 4, 8 mg/ml coix oil + 5-FU group was significantly higher than that in 5-FU group and coix oil group, and the inhibition rate in 2, 4, 8 mg/ml coix oil + 5-FU group was significantly higher than that in 1 mg/ml coix oil + 5-FU group ( P<0.05). The apoptosis rate in 5-FU group, coix oil group and 1, 2, 4, 8 mg/ml coix oil + 5-FU group was higher than that in the blank control group ( P<0.05). The apoptosis rate in 1, 2, 4, 8 mg/ml coix oil + 5-FU group was significantly higher than that in 5-FU group and coix oil group ( P<0.05). The apoptosis rate of 2, 4, 8 mg/ml coix oil + 5-FU group was significantly higher than that of 1 mg/ml coix oil + 5-FU group ( P<0.05). The expression of cleaved caspase-3 in each group was basically in line with the apoptosis rate of flow cytometry. The percentage of G1/M phase cells in 5-FU group, coix oil group and 1, 2, 4, 8 mg/ml coix oil + 5-FU group was significantly higher than that in the blank control, and the percentage of S phase cells was lower comparing with blank control ( P<0.05). Besides, the percentage of G1/M phase cells in 1, 2, 4, 8 mg/ml coix oil + 5-FU group was significantly higher than that in 5-FU group and coix oil group, and the percentage of S phase cells was significantly lower than that in 5-FU group and coix oil group ( P<0.05). The percentage of G1/M phase cells in 2, 4, 8 mg/ml coix oil + 5-FU group was significantly higher than that in 1 mg/ml coix oil + 5-FU group, and the percentage of S phase cells was significantly lower than that in 1 mg/ml coix oil + 5-FU group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Coix seed oil may enhance the chemosensitivity of colon cancer cells by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

Objective:To summarize the successful diagnosis and treatment experience of two patients with peritoneal dialysis complicated with cholangiolithiasis and cholangitis who received endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of two patients with peritoneal dialysis combined with bile duct stones at Peking University Third Hospital who underwent ERCP combined with endoscopic sphincterotomy and were successfully transferred out of the hospital. Observe successful removal of bile duct stones and adverse events related to surgery, such as pancreatitis, summarize experience, and conduct literature review.Result:The overall success rate of stone removal in 2 patients was 100%, and they recovered well after treatment without severe postoperative bleeding. One patient developed postoperative pancreatitis and secondary peritonitis after ECRP, and active anti infection treatment did not affect peritoneal function. Regular peritoneal dialysis was maintained during the perioperative period, and postoperative close follow-up and flexible adjustment of peritoneal dialysis dose and concentration were carried out to ensure a smooth transition of patients to regular and stable peritoneal dialysis.Conclusion:ERCP is a feasible treatment for PD patients combined with choledocholithiasis, and can be well tolerated by them. The treatment of peritoneal dialysis patients requires long-term follow-up and management, and multidisciplinary cooperation is required when acute complications occur.
