Objective To analyze results of bacterial infection distribution and drug sensitivity monitoring in 414 patients with open extremity injuries caused by Wenchuan earthquake so as to provide advices for guiding utility of antibiotics in treatment of patients injured in natural disasters. Methods Bacterial culture of wound secretion substance and drug sensitivity monitoring were done in 414 patients with open extremity injuries. Results There were 12 patients (2.9%) with G+ coccobacteria, 66 (15.9%) with G- bacillus, 2 (0.5%)with G+ bacillus, 6 (1.5%) with multiplicitas infection(5 with dual infection and I with triplication infection). Main pathogenic bacteria were as follows: (1)G+cocco- bacteria including Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus and anthropo-staphylococci ; (2) G- bacillus including Aerobacter cloacae, banmanii, escherichia co]i, aerugo pseudomonas, proteusvul- gaffs and Ewingella americana. (3)G+ bacillus including bacillus subtilis. The drugs with high sensi0tivi- ty to G+ coccobacteria included vancomycin, rifampin, levofloxacin and cidomycin, but those with low sensitivity to G+coccobacteria included penicillin, ampicillin and erythremycin. The drugs with high sen- sitivity to G- bacillus included imipenem, amikacin, levofloxaciu and tenebrimycin, but those with low sensitivity to G-bacillus included ampicillin and piperacillin. Conclusions Patients with open ex- tremity injuries caused by earthquake have rather high bacterial infection rate, involving many kinds of in- fection strains. Therefore, we should do bacterial culture and drug sensitivity monitoring of wound excre- tion substance as early as possible to guide rational use of antibiotics.

Objective To study the role of deferoxamine(DFO)on regulating hypoxia-inducible factor 1α(HIF-1α)expression after hypoxia-ischemia brain damage(HIBD)in neonatal rats,to explore the therapeutic strategy for HIBD. Methods Postnatal day 10 SD rats were divided into four groups: hypoxia-ischemia(HI)group,DFO-treated group,normal saline(NS)-treated group,and sham operation group. HIBD model was established by the ligation of right common carotid artery following the inhalation of nitrogen-oxygen mixtures containing 92% nitrogen and 8% oxygen. DFO-treated group and NS-treated group were treated by intraperitoneal injection of DFO or NS respectively. The brains were collected at 4 h,8 h,and 24 h after hypoxia. HIF-1α protein expression was detected by Western blot analysis,and HIF-1α mRNA expression was detected by using RT-PCR at each time point. Results The synthetic level of HIF-1α protein increased significantly at 4 h,peaked at 8 h,and decreased at 24 h after HI in HI group,as well as NS-treated group. However,in DFO-treated group HIF-1α protein was peaked at 4 h,maintained higher level at 8 h and 24 h after HI. The level of HIF-1α protein was much higher in HI and DFO-treated groups than those in sham controls(P < 0.05). The synthetic level of HIF-1α protein were higher in DFO-treated groups than those in HI groups at each time point(P < 0.05). HIF-1α mRNA expression was higher in DFO-treated groups than those in HI groups at each time point. Conclusions DFO upregulate HIF-1α protein and mRNA expression in neonatal rats with HIBD. The peak of HIF-1α protein expression are also more advanced and lasted longer after DFO-treatment.

Objective To investigate the expression of phosphorylated protein kinase B1 (pAkt1) and human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) in ovarian epithelial carcinoma (EOC) and its relationship with prognosis, and to analyze the correlation between pAkt1 and hTERT expression. Methods 92 patients with EOC in Tangshan Gongren Hospital from January 2012 to December 2016 were selected. The expressions of hTERT and pAkt1 proteins were detected by immunohistochemistry. The relationship between the expressions of pAkt1 and hTERT proteins and their relationship with clinical prognosis were analyzed. Results Of the 92 patients with EOC, 68 cases (73.9 %) had positive expression of pAkt and 52 cases (56.5 %) had positive expression of hTERT. There was no significant correlation between expressions of pAkt1 and hTERT proteins in EOC (r= 0.284, P= 0.633). The expressions of pAkt1 and hTERT proteins were not related with age, tumor pathology type and the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging (all P> 0.05), but had significant association with tumor pathology differentiation (χ2= 2.694, P= 0.005; χ2=2.284, P=0.018). The disease-free survival of patients with both pAkt1 and hTERT positive was shorter than that of the other groups (P= 0.013). Conclusion The prognosis of EOC patients with high expression of pAkt1 and hTERT proteins is poor.

Objective To investigate the expression of signal-induced proliferation-associated gene 1 (SIPA1), Ezrin and E-cadherin (E-cad), and their relationship with clinical patterns in epithelial ovarian carcinoma.Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of SIPA1, Ezrin and E-cad in normal ovarian tissue, benign epithelial ovarian tumor, borderline epithelial ovarian tumor and epithelial ovarian carcinoma,respectively. Results The positive rate of SIPA1 expression was 44.2 % (23/52), 64.5 %(20/31), 93.3 % (28/30) and 100.0 % (15/15) in epithelial ovarian carcinoma, borderline epithelial ovarian tumor, benign epithelial ovarian tumor, and normal ovarian tissue, respectively, and there was a statistical difference (χ2 = 29.159, P= 0.000). The corresponding rates were 57.7 % (30/52), 61.3 % (19/31), 90.0 %(27/30) and 93.3 % (14/15) for the positive rate of Ezrin expression (χ2= 14.555, P= 0.002), as well as for 23.1 % (12/52), 58.1 % (18/31), 86.7 % (26/30) and 0 (0/15) for the positive rate of E-cad expression, respectively (χ2= 45.731, P= 0.000). In patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma, the expression of SIPA1 was correlated with tumor differentiation (χ2=3.895, P=0.048), but not with histological type and clinical stage (all P>0.05). The expression of Ezrin was not correlated with histological type, tumor differentiation and clinical stage (all P>0.05). There was a positive correlation between expression of E-cad and SIPA1, Ezrin in epithelial ovarian carcinoma, respectively (r= 0.339, P= 0.014; r= 0.284, P= 0.041), but no correlation between the expression of SIPA1 and Ezrin (r= 0.214, P= 0.128). Conclusions SIPA1, Ezrin and E-cad play important roles in the occurrence and development of epithelial ovarian carcinoma. They cooperate in the progression and their combined detection can better evaluate the prognosis of epithelial ovarian carcinoma.
