Objective To approach the reasons and influence factors about sudden deafness of nurs-es in the operating room. Methods We investigated the psychologic status and etiological factors of nurs-es in operating room through questionnaires designed by ourselves about general work pressure and sudden deafness correlative reasons. Results The total score of pressure was 21.486,among which rush work and check and examination,worrying about mistakes and accidents, pricking wound were the main reasons re-suiting in sudden deafness for the operating room nurses. Conclusions Enhancement of psychological nursing, health education and working environment improvement can lessen the anxiety emotion of nurses who have sudden deafness and has considerable effect to promote recovery.

Abstract: Objective　To analyze the clinical characteristics of children with lobar pneumonia and the distribution of pathogens in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) collected from these patients, hence providing a scientific basis for their precise diagnosis and treatment. Methods　A total of 115 children diagnosed with lobar pneumonia from August 2019 to August 2022 at Suining Central Hospital were screened as the research subjects. The clinical manifestations and occurrence of complications in the patients were investigated. All the children underwent bronchoalveolar lavage after admission, and BALF samples were collected. Fluorescence quantitative PCR was adopted to detect and analyze the distribution and clinical characteristics of Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP) and other related pathogenic microorganisms in BALF specimens. Results Among the 115 pediatric patients with lobar pneumonia, the occurrence of manifestations or complications including involvement of ≥2 lung lobes, myocardial damage, pleural effusion, abnormal liver function, digestive system involvement, nervous system involvement, rash, renal function impairment, and lung atelectasis were observed in 46, 46, 39, 33, 18, 17, 11, 5, and 4 cases, respectively. The pathogen positivity rate in the BALF samples of the 115 patients was 87.0% (100/115), with 81 cases of single infection and 19 cases of mixed infection. A total of 121 strains of pathogens were isolated, including 83 strains of Mycoplasmal pneumonia (MP) (accounting for 68.6%) and SP(13.2%). The differences in the detection rates of HI, MP, RSV strains among different age groups were statistically significant (χ2=8.834, 19.454, 10.284, P<0.05), while the differences in the infection rates of SP, KP, CP, and ADV were not statistically significant (χ2=3.393, 2.67, 0.565, 0.097, P>0.05). The MP pneumonia group showed significantly higher incidence of complications such as pleural effusion, nervous system involvement, and abnormal liver function than the non-MP pneumonia group (χ2=3.925, 4.195, and 4.513, P<0.05). The highest pathogen detection rate was in winter, accounting for 33.91%. Conclusions MP is the most common pathogen in BALF of children with lobar pneumonia. There is variation in the pathogen detection rate among different age groups and seasons. Those with combined infections were more prone to complications, which is worthy of attention by clinicians.

Objective To investigate the effects of endogenous sulfur dioxide(SO2) on pulmonary vascular inflammation in rats with monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary hypertension.Methods Thirty-two Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups(n =8 for each group):control group,MCT group,MCT + L-aspartic acid-β-hydroxamate(HDX) group,and MCT + SO2 group.Rats in the MCT group,MCT + HDX group,and MCT + SO2 group were subcutaneously injected with MCT(60 mg/kg) on the first day.For rats in MCT + HDX group,HDX(25 mg/kg,on day 0,7 and 14) was given orally after injection of MCT; and rats in MCT + SO2 group were subcutaneously injected with the SO2 donor sodium sulfite/sodium bisulfate(Na2SO3/NaHSO3,and mole ratio was adjusted to approximately 3:1) each day.Rats in the control group received only the same volume of solvent vehicle only.After 3 weeks,mean pulmonary artery pressure(mPAP) of each rat was evaluated by using a right cardiac catheterization procedure.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of inflammatory related factor intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and the key molecules of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signal transduction pathway,including p65 and inhibitor of NF-κB (IκBα) in the small pulmonary artery endothelial cells.Results The differences in mPAP,expression of ICAM-1,IκBα and p65 in the small pulmonary artery endothelial cells were found among the 4 groups (mPAP:F =53.334,P ＜ 0.01 ; ICAM-1:F =183.82,P ＜ 0.01 ; IκBα:F =142.89,P ＜ 0.01 ; p65:F =105.46,P ＜0.01).The mean pulmonary artery pressure(mPAP) was significantly raised in MCT group rats as compared with that of the control group along with upregulated expressions of ICAM-1 protein and p65 protein in small pulmonary artery endothelial cells,while the expression of IκBα protein in small pulmonary artery endothelial cells was significantly low.After administration of HDX,the mPAP and the expression of ICAM-1 protein and p65 protein in small pulmonary artery endothelial cells further increased compared with those of MCT group,while the expression of IκBα protein in small pulmonary artery endothelial cells was significantly lower than that of MCT group.Whereas with treatment of SO2 derivatives,the mPAP,the expression of ICAM-1 protein and p65 protein in small pulmonary artery endothelial cells were significantly lower than those of MCT group,while the expression of IκBα protein in small pulmonary artery endothelial cells increased significantly compared with that of MCT group.Conclusions Endogenous SO2 might inhibit the activation of NF-κB pathway in the small pulmonary artery endothelial cells,attenuate the pulmonary vascular inflammation and prevent the MCT-induced pulmonary hypertension in rats.

With the rapid economic growth and social development in the BRICS countries, the role of devel-opment assistance for health is becoming more and more significant. This paper describes the scales, recipient coun-tries, mechanisms and characteristics and management systems of development assistance for health in BRICS coun-tries. The paper suggests that a) it is necessary to set up a centralized international aid management agency;b) the mode of development assistance for health must be optimized;c) the scale of development assistance for health shall be increased ( over time);d) each BRIC country should use its own comparative advantages and development experi-ence to carry out development assistance for health while strengthening the cooperative power among the BRICS coun-tries;e) development assistance for health data should be more transparent and open;f) the evaluation of develop-ment assistance for health must be established and perfected.

Since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, the development of China’s official de-velopment assistance for health has been going through three phases. To date, it has developed in many forms, inclu-ding the dispatch of medical team and the construction of health facilities. Since the market reforms, the global con-text together with the domestic socioeconomic foundations have changed; the impact of China’s relatively simple and segmented development assistance for health on the development of health systems in developing countries is limited;the effectiveness of assistance has been watered-down due to segmentation and vague management and accountability systems, as well as the lack of an overarching strategy;China’s health institutions, techniques and products suffer va-rious obstacles in their transfer to other countries where rules are dominated by western countries;compared with the increasing and multiple demands of development assistance for health from developing countries, the capacities of co-operation need to be further developed. As the paper suggests, use the “new major-country” and “new morality-in-terest” and“human oriented” concepts, as well as the ideology of“aid in order to develop, develop in order to coop-erate, so as to develop hand-in-hand” to guide China’s development assistance for health;innovate stereo-aid models to adapt to the changed foreign and domestic socioeconomic context; reform the development assistance for health management system and define rights and obligations appropriately;strengthen coordination and information sharing;link development assistance for health with global health governance to promote a maximized spillover effect;mobilize the civil society with strengthened guidance and supervision.

Objective To establish a method to culture and isolate atrial myocardial cells of neonate rat. Methods The atrial myocardial tissue was digested by a low concentration of trypsin and eollagenase. Subsequently, the atrial myocardial cells were cultured and isolated with the technique of differential anchoring for twice. The purity of cardiocytes was detected by immunofluorescenee and the pulsation was observed under inverted biologicalmicroscope. Results After 72 hours of primary culture, the cells reached 70% confluence, and all the my- ocardial cells were jumping synchronously. Immunofluorescence showed that the purity of cardiocytes cultured was more than 90%. Conclu- sion Neonatal rat atrial myocytes were successfully cultured by enzyme digestion with high purity and vigor.

Objective To investigate the correlation of CT features and pathological characteristics with epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)gene mutations in invasive peripheral pulmonary adenocarcinoma.Methods The amplification refractory mutation system was used to determine EGFR mutations in 1 9 3 surgically resected invasive peripheral pulmonary adenocarcinomas.CT features and pathological characteristics were analyzed retrospectively.Results The total EGFR mutation rate was 62.2% (120/193).Among the features on CT,the maximum tumor diameter (Dmax)in axial plane CT images was significantly smaller in patients with EGFR mutations than that with wild-type EGFR patients [(2.52 ± 1.01)cm vs (3.11 ± 1.34)cm,P<0.05].Receiver operating characteristic (ROC)results indicated that Dmax=2.01 cm was the diagnosis threshold in forecasting EGFR gene mutations,with the sensitivity and specificity of 79% and 64%,respectively.The frequency of EGFR mutations was significantly greater in tumors with ground-glass opacity(GGO)than that without GGO (78.0% vs 56.6%,P<0.05),and in tumors without cystic airspaces than that with cystic airspaces (65.5% vs 40.0%,P<0.05).No correlations were observed between EGFR mutations and other CT features,including GGO/tumor ratio(G/T),lobulation,spiculation,pleural retraction,vascular convergence,air bronchograms,and vacuole signs (P>0.05).Among pathological characteristics,compared with other subtypes,EGFR mutations occurred most frequently in lepidic predominant adeno-carcinomas (77.5% vs 58.2% in other subtypes,P<0.05),and the least frequently in solid predominant adenocarcinomas(26.3%vs 66.1% in other subtypes,P<0.05).The EGFR mutation rate was significantly higher in tumors without lymph node metastases than that with lymph node metastases (66.9%vs 50.9%,P<0.05).Conclusion The CT features and pathological characteristics may be useful indicators to predict EGFR mutation status in invasive peripheral pulmonary adenocarcinoma.

Objective To study the MSCT appearances of thymic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs)and its correlation with the WHO histological grade.Methods MSCT features of 16 patients with thymic NETs confirmed by pathology were analyzed retro-spectively.The patients were divided into 2 groups according to tumor's grade,i.e.low and intermediate grade,high grade.Results There were 8 patients in low and intermediate grade,8 in high grade.No difference was found among tumor location,size,tumor morphology,calcification,pericardiac thickening,pericardial effusion,pleural thickening,pleural effusion,disappearance of fat line around tumor and mass-pulmonary interface with irregular shape,but significant difference was detected in lymph node metastasis. On enhanced MSCT scanning,statistical difference was detected in linear enhancement of the blood vessels in the tumors,but no difference was found between necrosis and peripheral vessel invasion.Conclusion MSCT findings of different grades in thymic NETs have some characteristics and can be helpful in the grades of predictability.

Objective To monitor the expression patterns of bcr-abl in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients during treatment with imatinib mesylate and evaluate the detection of MRD by RQ-PCR method. Methods The ABI Prism 7500 Sequence Detection System using Taqman fluorogenic probes was used to quantify target gene. bcr-abl mRNA was detected by RQ-PCR in 106 CML patients. The normalized quotient (NQ) of bcr-abl mRNA was calculated as followings: NQ=bcr-abl mRNA copy numbers/abl mRNA copy numbers. Results The NQ of BCR-ABL mRNA was well correlated with the progression of disease and the number of Ph+ cell (r =0.9824 and 0.9346, respectively). The NQ was decreased rapidly in 62 patients and kept in low level for a long time, and only 2 of them were relapsed. For 8 patients, after treatment the NQwere decreased initially and increased sharply, 7 of them were relapsed after 5-9 months. After treatment the NQ of 31 patients were still>0.1, 11 patients were relapsed after a short remission and 7 were ineffective or progression. Out of 5 patients whose NQ were fluctuated and had little regularity, but all of them had a continuing remission. Conclusion RQ-PCR is a more sensitive technique in the detection of bcr-abl fusion gene.It is an important method to monitor the tumor cell during the treatment with imatinib mesylate in CML patients.
