Hospital infection has become a global public health problem. The strain of anti-disinfectant, same as the antibiotic-resistant strain, will lead to the failure of the disinfection of the hospital, which will cause hospital infection. The bacterial resistance to disinfectants and resistance mechanism is not clear. Most of the studies focused on the cell research, the molecular research, non-physiological mechanism of resistance, in recent years, the selection pressure, outflow pump were studied. Currently, disinfectants abuse, improper handling and inadequate amount of disinfectant were considered as the main cause of the resistance development.

AlM:To discuss the feasibility of microcoria optometry in screening for children ametropia. METHODS: Totally 217 school - age children were selected, included 94 first-grade students ( 6 ~ 8 years old) and 123 fourth-grade students ( 9 ~12 years old ) . Refractive diopter was measured with automatic refractor RM-8000 to evaluate the accuracy of micocoria optometry in screening ametropia.RESULTS: After cycloplegia, both the mean sphere diopter and cylinder diopter in grade one students changed significantly (P<0. 05), the mean sphere diopter in grade four students changed significantly (P<0. 05), while the mean cylinder diopter had no statistical difference ( P>0. 05 ) in grade four students. Different refractive type: before and after mydriasis spherical myopia, spherical equivalent difference was 0. 263 ± 0. 618 and 0.216±0.653D, with statistical significance (P<0.01);ln hyperopia group, spherical myopia, spherical equivalent difference was 0. 947±0. 946 and 1. 039±0. 984D, with statistical significance ( P = 0. 000 ). The lenticular difference between the two groups were not statistically different ( P > 0. 05 ). Choosing small pupil computer optometry for ≤- 1. 00D, ≥- 0. 50D child myopia or hyperopia could get more accurate value of diagnostic cutoffs, Youden index was 0. 672 and 0. 580. CONCLUSlON: Microcoria optometry can be as a effective method of screening of children with ametropia, but if for optometry, school-age children must accept mydriasis.

Objective To investigate the effect of nursing interventions on the quality of life after radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal cancer. Methods 56 patients with nasopharyngeal cancer who received radiotherapy were randomly divided into control group and intervention group. All the patients were given conventional nursing interventions, and those in the intervention group were given accurate evaluation, enhanced psychological guide, reasonable dietary guide, and special nursing for preventing and treating complications. All the patients were evaluated by using quality of life questionnaire core 30 items(QOL-C30). Results The scores of the dimensions of somatic function,psychological function, social function and material life after interventions in the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05 ). Conclusion Nursing interventions can improve the quality of life, and the therapy can be completed smoothly.

Objective To investigate the effect on cell cycle of hepatitis B virus x protein and ap- proach the molecular mechanism of x protein's carcinogenesis. Methods Gene transfection mediated by the lipofectamine was used to introduce the eukaryotic expression vector of HBV x gene into human hepato- cellular carcinoma cell line HepG2(HepG2X cell).The selective medium containing G418 was used to select the cell clones which the X protein was expressed constantly.Flow eytometry was used to detect the cycle of the cells;raf-1 protein was detected by Western blot.Results X protein could be expressed on 21?10~3 loca- tion in the transfected cells,while there were no protein expressed in the control cells.The proliferation of X cells increased significantly according to MTS method(P

Objective To observe the expression of caspase-3 and transposition of Omi/HtrA2 in H9C2 by erythropoietin and/or Omi/HtrA2 silencing to explore the related anti-apoptotic mechanisms.Methods The cultured H9C2 cardiomyocytes were divided into control group,H/R group (anoxia 2 h and re-oxygenation 24 h), and different concentrations of EPO treatment groups.The release rate of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)in cell supernatant was measured in each group.Expressions of cleaved caspase-3 and Omi/HtrA2 were measured by Western blot;then the transposition of Omi/HtrA2 between cytoplasm and mitochondria was observed.Specific siRNA interfering fragment was transfected into H9C2 cardiomyocytes by liposome method.Its silencing effect on Omi/HtrA2 was measured by RT-PCR and Western blot.The survival rate,release rate and expression of cleaved caspase-3 were measured.And the expression of Omi/HtrA2 was measured in cytoplasm and mitochondria in H9C2 (transposition of Omi/HtrA2 ).Results Compared with H/R group,the release of LDH and expression of cleaved caspase-3 were decreased; the transposition of Omi/HtrA2 from mitochondria to cytoplasm in H/R treatment groups was increased compared with control group,while that in EPO (20 IU/mL)group decreased.si-HtrA2 group transfected with siRNA showed a decreased release of LDH and expression of cleaved caspase-3 with all significant variances (P <0.05).Conclusion EPO exerts a cytoprotective effect by inhibiting the transposition of Omi/HtrA2 and hence the activation of caspases-3 pathway.

Objective To study the utilization of preoperative ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration(USFNA) for axillary lymphnode(ALN) metastasis in breast cancer and to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of the technique. Methods Forty ALNs in 40 armpit negative palpation highly suspective breast cancer patients underwent USFNA. The cytopathological results were compared with the histopathological results of sentinel lymphnode(SLN) biopsy or axillary lymphnode dissection(ALND). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value(PPV), negative predictive value(NPV) and diagnostic accuracy of USFNA for the ALN metastasis were analysed. Results All the 40 patients were confirmed with breast cancer by pathology. Sensitivity of USFNA was 52. 2%, specificity was 100%, PPV was 100%,NPV was 60. 7% and diagnostic accuracy was 72. 5%. 12(30% ) patients with positive cytology proceeded to ALND, avoiding SLN biopsy. Conclusions USFNA is a minimally invasive, highly specified technique for prediction of breast cancer ALN metastasis before operation.

Objective To explore the acquired immunity against Schistosoma japonicum infections in the offspring of mother-mice infected with Trichinella spiralis.Methods The offspring of mother-mice infected with Trichinella spiralis and the mice after passively transferring the offspring's sera were sacrificed at day 42 post infection with S. japonicum cercariae. The percentage of reduction in worm burdens was calculated to determine the protective effects. Results Comparing with the control group, the reduction rates of the worm were 24.31% in the offspring, 18.65% and 20.77% in mice with passively transferring the offspring's sera by intravenous injection and muscular injection respectively. Conclusion The offspring of mother-mice infected with Trichinella spiralis and the mice with passively transferring the offspring's sera could acquire protective immunity against Schistosoma japonicum infections.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the calcium ion and the effects of ECA on the contraction of the smooth muscles of Oncomelania foot, and explore the mechanism of ECA in decreasing the snail climbing adhesion and increasing snail-killing. Method The in vitro experiment was used to observe the effects of ECA on contraction activities of foot smooth muscles of Oncomelania. Results ECA 5. 0, 10. 0, 20. 0 mg/L. enhanced the resting tension, decreased the contraction range and increased the contraction frequency of the foot smooth muscles of Oncomelania in Ringer's solution with or without Ca2+ , with a characteristic of the dose-dependent, but stronger in solution with Ca2+ than that in solution without Ca2+. Conclusions ECA can enhance the resting tension, decrease the contraction range and increase the contraction frequency of the foot smooth muscles of Oncomelania. This suggested that ECA could be related to increasing the intracellular Ca2+ release and influx of the extracellular Ca2+. This could provide an explanation why ECA decreases the rate of Oncomelania climbing adhesion and enhances snail-killing.
