Autoimmune encephalitis is a group of inflammatory diseases related to autoantibodies that affect the central nervous system. Early diagnosis of patients with autoimmune encephalitis has certain difficulties, because the clinical manifestations caused by different types of autoantibodies can be non-specific, and the presence of multiple autoantibodies can cause variation and superposition of clinical manifestations. The article reported a case of autoimmune encephalitis patients with double positive anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor and dipeptidyl-peptidase-like protein-6 antibodies, and reviewed relevant literature for clinical reference.

Objective To observe the analgesic effects of dexmedetomidine combined with dif-ferent-doses of sufentanil in patients undergoing spine surgery.Methods Sixty patients(ASA grade Ⅰor Ⅱ degree,age 18-70 years)undergoing spine surgery were randomly assigned into three groups ac-cording to PCA formulation(n =20):3 μg/kg sufentanil group (group S1),1.5 μg/kg dexmedetomi-dine+ 2 μg/kg sufentanil group (group S2 )and 1.5 μg/kg dexmedetomidine + 1 μg/kg sufentanil group (group S3).The same anesthesia method was applied among three groups.Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia pump was applied before 30 minutes prior to the end of surgery.The drugs in each group were diluted to 1 50 ml and infused by a pump at a rate of 3 ml/h with a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA)bolus of 0.5 ml and lock time of 30 minutes.VAS and Ramsay scores at 2 h(T0 ),4 h (T1 ),8 h(T2 ),12 h(T3 ),24 h(T4 )and 48 h(T5 )after surgery were estimated.Postoperative nausea and vomiting,bradyrhythmia and hypersomnia were also recorded.Results Compared with group S1, VAS of groups S2 and S3 was significantly decreased at T1-T5 (P <0.05).There were also no signifi-cant difference in the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting,bradyrhythmia and hypersomnia among three groups.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine of 1.5 μg/kg can significantly reduce the dosage of sufentanil on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing spine surgery,and decrease the rate of postoperative nausea and vomiting without any bradyrhythmia and hypersomnia.

BACKGROUND:Impaired balance between osteogenesis and adipogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels is a crucial pathological mechanism of osteoporosis. Mechanical loads applied to bone tissue can increase bone formation and improve bone strength, and meanwhile lead to the release of extracelular nucleotides, such as adenosine triphosphate.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of adenosine triphosphate on the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels and to investigate the underlying mechanisms.
METHODS:The effect of adenosine triphosphate (10, 50, 250 μmol/L) on differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were measured by osteogenic and adipogenic related genes expression, alizarin red staining and oil red O staining. The activation of ERK1/2 signaling pathway by adenosine triphosphate was tested using western blot assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Incubation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels with adenosine triphosphate resulted in the dose-dependent increase of osteogenic genes expression and calcium deposition, and inhibition of adipogenic genes expression and lipid droplet formation, but had no effects on cel proliferation. Adenosine triphosphate activated ERK1/2 signaling pathway, and U0126 as an ERK1/2 inhibitor restrained the effect of adenosine triphosphate on the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels.

Objective To analyze domestic and foreign papers on H5N1 virus research using literature metrology and visualized knowledge mapping.Methods Pajek, Bibexcel,and VoSviewer software were used based on Web of Knowledge platform.Results Study on H5N1 virus has been a research focus wide since 2005 and a series of institutions and investi-gators have appeared, with US being the leader in this area and followed by China.The most popular topics of studies on H5N1 included its virology, epidemiology, basic research, anti-virus drugs and vaccines.Conclusion Studies on H5N1 have received more attention, which suggests that more efforts have to be made in China in terms of communication and co-operation with key institutions and famous researchers so as to achieve more success in key areas.

Objective To explore the application value and clinical efficacy of one half layer pancreaticojejunostomy with the posterior wall of pancreas reinforced in pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.The clinical data of 17 patients with pancreatic neoplasms and ampullar neoplasms who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from May to September 2015 were collected.One half layer pancreaticojejunostomy with the posterior wall of pancreas reinforced method was applied to the digestive tract reconstruction after pancreaticoduodenectomy in the 17 patients.Observation indicators included:(1)surgical situations:surgical procedures,operation time,time of pancreaticojejunostomy,volume of intraoperative blood loss,tumor sizes,(2) postoperative situations:recovery time of gastrointestinal function,postoperative complications,duration of postoperative hospital stay,(3) postoperative pathological examinations,(4) follow-up.Patients were followed up by outpatient examinations including color Doppler ultrasound or abdominal computed tomography (CT) and telephone interview detecting abdominal pain or distention and general situations (diet,sleep) up to October 2015.Measurement data were represented as average (range).Results (1) Surgical situations:all the 17 patients underwent successful operations without perioperative death,including 16 undergoing radical pancreaticoduodenectomy and 1 undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy and left liver resection.The average operation time,average pancreaticojejunostomy time,average volume of intraoperative blood loss and average tumor size were 276 minutes (range,230-440 minutes),12 minutes (range,9-16 minutes),310 mL (range,200-950 mL) and 3.25 cm2(range,1.92-5.60 cm2),respectively.(2) Postoperative situations:the average recovery time of gastrointestinal function was 3 days (range,1-7 days).Three patients had postoperative complications,including 1 patient with pancreatic fistula (Grade A) and 2 patients with delayed gastric emptying,and all of them had been healed after symptomatic and supportive treatments.The results of T-tube cholangiography or CT before hospital discharge showed that there was no leakage around the anastomoses.The average duration of postoperative hospital stay was 10 days(range,6-20 days).(3) The postoperative pathological examinations showed 5 patients of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas,4 of common bile duct ampulla area adenocarcinomas,3 of duodenal papillary adenocarcinomas,3 of pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms and 2 of duodenal ampullary adenocarcinomas.(4) Followup:all the 17 patients were followed up for 1-4 months and the abdominal color Doppler ultrasound or CT showed that there was no evidence of tumor recurrence or leakage around anastomoses.Conclusion One half layer pancreaticojejunostomy with the posterior wall of pancreas reinforced is safe and feasible,and it can reduce the rate of pancreatic fistula successfully.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current situation of intensive care unit (ICU) inpatients in Infectious Disease Hospital of Nanning to provide a reference for the prevention and control of infectious diseases and construction and development of ICU in such a hospital.Methods The clinical data of inpatients from January 2011 to December 2015 in the Infectious Disease Hospital Affiliated to Guangxi Medical University (that is the Fourth People's Hospital of Nanning City) were retrospectively analyzed, and the distributions of patients with various diseases, ages, of the characteristics of children severe infectious diseases in ICU, the numbers of patients with infectious diseases in general ward and ICU, the average time and daily cost of hospitalization and mortality were conducted.Results During 2011 to 2015, 855 cases in ICU were treated, including 709 cases of infectious diseases, 146 cases of non-infectious disease. The top 5 infectious diseases were ranked as follows: tuberculosis, human acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD), viral hepatitis, tetanus, accounting for 96.47% of the total infectious disease inpatients in ICU; there were 25 cases of other legal infectious diseases, accounting for 3.53%, including dengue fever, measles, malaria, chicken pox, mumps, rabies, typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, scrub typhus, bacillary dysentery, leptospirosis, human infections with highly pathogenic H7N9 avian influenza, epidemic hemorrhagic fever, A H1N1 influenza, and besides, critically ill patients carrying virus (viral hepatitis B and AIDS) in 7 pregnant women, 22 surgical patients, and 117 patients with internal medicine diseases were also admitted and treated. The top 4 infectious diseases causing deaths in ICU were tuberculosis, AIDS, viral hepatitis and HFMD: The infectious diseases with top 6 high mortalities in ICU were as follows: rabies, viral hepatitis, AIDS, tuberculosis and tetanus. The age range was wide in this study, from 73 days to 97 years, among which there were 167 cases of pediatric infectious diseases from pediatric department, accounting for 23.55% of ICU inpatients, being mainly severe HFMD, tuberculosis and severe varicella. From 2011 to 2015, the number of hospitalized patients showed a rising trend, and the average length of stay of patients in general wards presented a downward tendency, but the average time of hospitalization of inpatients with infectious disease in ICU, mortality and daily cost of hospitalization revealed a gradually increasing trend year by year.Conclusions It is of far-reaching significance to master the spectrum of dangerous severe infectious diseases to deal with the infectious disease epidemic situation and outburst with public health events.
