Tumor 2010;(4):328-333
Objective:To evaluate the expressions of phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor (p-EGFR) and its downstream molecule phosphorylated AKT(p-AKT) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)and their significance. Methods:The immunhistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of p-AKT and p-EGFR proteins in 95 cases of NSCLC tissues. The relationship between the p-AKT and p-EGFR and between their expression and prognosis were also evaluated. Results:The positive rate of p-EGFR was 57.89% (55/95) and was related with age, gender and histological type (P=0.008,P=0.003,P=0.009). The positivity of p-EGFR was higher in young group (33/46), female group (24/30), and adenocarcinoma group (35/52). The positive rate of p-AKT was 66.32% (63/95) and was related with differentiation, lymph node metastasis and tumor size (P=0.036,P=0.047,P=0.017,res-pectively). The positivity of p-AKT was higher in low differentiation group (20/23), lymph node metastasis group (29/37), and tumor diameter ≤3 cm group (36/46). Univariate analysis showed that the expressions of p-AKT and p-EGFR were not associated with prognosis (P=0.854, P=0.729). Multivariate analysis showed that neither p-AKT nor p-EGFR was correlated with the patients' survival time (P=0.497, P=0.731). The p-AKT was positively correlated to the p-EGFR(r=0.204, P=0.047). Conclusion:The expressions of p-AKT and p-EGFR had no impact on the prognosis of NSCLC. They can not serve as prognostic indicators for NSCLC.

Objective To explore the nursing cooperation in use of lung inflation system for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for spontaneous pneumothorax. Method The key nursing points in nursing 42 patients with spontaneous pneumothorax undergoing VATS were analyzed. Results The operations were all successful. One patient contracted lower left atelectasis but it was cured after the tracheal tube was re-adjusted. On day one, there were two cases of gas leakage during thoracic closed drainage:one was of diffuse pulmonary bulla, and the gas leakage stopped on the second day; In the other cases, the gas leakage stopped 2 days after the tube was withdrawn by 3cm probably because the drainage tube was inserted too deep at the beginning. 6-30 months follow-ups showed no recurrence of pneumothorax in the operated site. Conclusions The lung inflation system is safe during VATS for spontaneous pneumothorax. Careful preoperative preparation of the equipment and skillful nursing cooperation at all procedures are critical for the success of VATS.

Objectives To investigate the bacterial pathogens and their antibiotic resistance in children with pneumonia in Suzhou area. Methods Sputum specimens of 8179 hospitalized children with pneumonia from October 2005 to September 2011 were collected by sterile negative pressure aspirator and then cultured. The incidence of positive bacteria was tested by Kirby-Bauer method and broth dilution method, and their antibiotics resistances were analyzed. Results A total of 2391 of 8179 children were infected with positive rate of 29.23%. A total of 2552 strains of bacteria were detected with Streptococcus pneumoniae (42.40%), Haemophilus inlfuenzae (14.81%), Moraxelle catarrhalis (11.01%), Staphylococcus aureus (8.50%) and Escherichia coli (5.02%) as the most common strains. The infection rate of different bacterium was related to age, season and the type of pneumonia (all P<0.001). The tendency of antibiotic resistances in 2 140 bacterial isolates was found increased by the susceptibility test. Conclusions Streptococcus pneumonia and Haemophilus inlfuenzae are the most common bacterial pathogens in children with pneumonia in Suzhou area. The positive rate of different bacterium was related to age, season and the type of pneumonia. Attention must be paid to the rational use of antibiotics to reduce drug resistance.
