1.Application value of procalcitonin for predicting prognosis of severe acute pancreatitis
International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2015;(7):887-888
Objective To study the change of serum procalcitonin(PCT) expression level and to investigate its clinical value for predicting the prognosis in the patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) .Methods Totallay 48 inpatients with SAP in our hos‐pital from April 2012 to April 2014 were retrospectively analyzed .The PCT levels during different hospitalization period in the sur‐vial group and the death group were detected and analyzed .The scores of acute physiological and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (A‐PACHE Ⅱ) were compared between these two groups .Results (1)The clinical characreristics of gender ,body temperature and WBC had no statistically significant differences beween the survival group and the death group (P>0 .05) ,but the PCT level had statistical differencet (P<0 .05) .(2)There was no statistically significant difference in the PCT level and APACHE Ⅱ score at ad‐mission between the two groups .In the later treatment process ,the PCT level and APACHE Ⅱ score in the survival group were progressively decreased ,while which in the death group were progressively inecreased (P<0 .05) .WT5HZ〗Conclusion PCT has an important clinical value in forcasting the prognosis of SAP .

Objective:To identify potential risk factors of suicide among schizophrenic inpatients,in order to provide basis of how to prevent suicide in psychiatric inpatients.Method:A retrospective analysis among inpatients with mental disorders in Guangzhou psychiatric hospital from 1956 to 2005,the first psychiatric hospital,in China.Using a case-control design,sixty four schizophrenic inpatients(suicide group) who committed suicide in psychiatric hospital and the same number of randomly selected control subjects(control group) who had no incident of suicide were selected and their psychiatric records were compared.Results:The rate of suicide was 133.1(95% CI 103.4-62.9) per 100 000 admissions.Sixty four cases(83.1%) were diagnosed as schizophrenia,fifty nine(76.6%) were hung by themselves,and fifty two(67.5%) happened in wards.The numbers of hospitalization and the suicide attempts before and duration of hospitalization were significantly higher in suicide group than that in control group(P=0.001,0.017,0.003),and guilty thoughts,depressive mood were significantly higher in suicide group than that in control group(P=0.006,0.004).Both suicidal ideation and suicide attempts one month before and during hospitalization were significantly higher in suicide group than that in control group(P

OBJECTIVE To study resistance and the change of Pseudomonas aeruginosa of respiratory system infection,and instruct the antibacterial medicine to use rationally.METHODS The respiratory system infection patients from Jun 2004 to Dec 2005 were investigated.To the results of MICs with 229 P.aeruginasa strains were analyzed.RESULTS From inspected 5411 phlegm samples derived from Jun 2004 to Dec 2005,bacteria from 2291 samples(42.34%) were examined out,from them 229 strains(10.00%) were P.aeruginosa. The sensitive rate to tobramycin,imipenem/cilastatin sodium,piperacillin sodium,amikacin sulfate,ceftazidime,cefoperazone/sulbactam(Sulperazon),et al was greater than 60%.CONCLUSIONS We should consider the mechanism of P.aeruginosa resistance in treatment of respiratory system infection patients,and guide the management of antibacterial using.

OBJECTIVE To achieve the best treatment effect by the effective management to control abusing the clinical antibacterial drug. METHODS The management organization and system on antibiotics reasonable application were established.It also formulated an standard to examine the reasonable antibiotics application.It construced the information system of the antibiotics reasonable application management,to carry on the real-time monitoring to the clinical antibiotics application situation. RESULTS The antibiotics utilization ratio was from original 78% lowered to 65% and the antibiotics use hastened more reasonably. CONCLUSIONS The standardized management of antibiotics use is realized and the medical quality is improved.

OBJECTIVE To explore risk factors and preventive measure of wound infection after operations in clean wounds.METHODS The related factors of wound infection were analyzed by using Logistic analysis in 6805 cases from Jun 2004 to Dec 2005.RESULTS Age,duration of operation and diabetes mellitus were the risk factors for wound infection,but the antibiotic application was unrelated to wound infection in clean wounds.CONCLUSIONS The risk factors for wound infection are age,duration of operation and diabetes mellitus.

ObjectiveTo observe the status and related factors of depression symptoms in elders.MethodsRandomized multi-stage sampling method was used to select subjects.504 elders ( aged ≥65 years) in Jining were investigated and assessed by using the scales of Geriatric Depression Scale15 ( GDS-15 ),Katz-activity of daily liying (Katz-ADL) and Lawton instrumental ADL (IADL).ResultsThe GDS scores of males (2.24 ±2.12 ) were significantly lower than that of females ( 3.35 ± 3.49) ( t '=4.236,P < 0.01 ).There were significant differences in GDS scores among different subgroups of age,single or not,physical activity,sleep quality,self-reported health,living condition,economic status and lonely feeling.GDS scores were significantly correlated to lonely feeling,IADL,living condition,economic status,self-reported health and age (F =27.47,P < 0.001 ; R2 =0.372,R'2 =0.358 ),with the total contribution of 35.8%.ConclusionAmong elders,the main factors influencing depression symptoms are lonely feeling,IADL,female,health condition,economic condition and single,respectively.Enhancing IADL of elders can contribute to reduce the risk factors of depression.
