Objective To investigate the incidence of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in hospitalized patients≥65 years at a hospital in Hunan Province.Methods Data of patients with HAI in this hospital in 201 1—2013 were classified and analyzed statistically.Results A total of 47 626 patients were investigated,1 068 cases of HAI oc-curred,all cases were single site infection,incidence and case rate of HAI were both 2.24% ,incidence in patients aged <65 years (2-65 years old)was 0.98% (234/23 998),and ≥65 years was 3.53% (834/23 628),difference was significant between two groups (χ2= 354.44,P<0.001). HAI rate in patients aged <65,65~,70~,75~, 80~,85~,and ≥90 years was 0.98% ,1.59% ,1.28% ,2.77% ,5.20% ,6.93% ,and 9.43% respectively. The major infection site was lower respiratory tract (59.95% ,n= 500),the main detected pathogens were Pseudo-monasaeruginosa (19.43% )and Escherichia coil (18.72% ).Conclusion The incidence of HAI in the elderly patients increased with age increasing,the main infection site is lower respiratory tract.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of High-Sensitive Troponin T(hs-TnT)in acute myocardial infarction(AMI). Methods One hundred and sixty nine patients with serum hs-TnT concentration≥0.014 μg/L in early hospitalization were enrolled in this study.The ROC curve was used to compare the concentra-tion of hs-TnT with four heart enzyme(CK,CK-MB,LDH,AST)on the diagnostic efficacy to AMI. The differ-ence of hs-TnT in different clinical data groups were investigated using Mann-Whitney U rank test.Then the correla-tion between hs-TnT and Gensini score of Coronary angiography was investigated using the Spearman rank correla-tion test.Results The concentration of hs-TnT in patients with chest pain was significantly higher than that in non-AMI group(P<0.05).The AUC of each ROC curve was hs-TnT(0.806)>CK-MB(0.792)>CK(0.780)>AST (0.704)> LDH(0.684). The optimal diagnostic point of hs-TnT was 0.152 ug/L(sensitivity 0.659,specificity 0.894,Yuden index 0.553).There was a positive correlation between hs-TnT and Gensini scores in men,age>65 years old and the chest tightness group(P < 0.05). Conclusion The hs-TnT is better than four heart enzyme in early diagnosis of AMI and benefit early treatment of AMI.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of nano-cerium oxide on the early development of zebrafish embryos. METHODS: The well-developed zebrafish embryos were randomly divided into the control group and the 50, 100, 200, 400 and 800 mg/L dose groups, with 40 embryos in each group. The dose groups were treated with nano-cerium oxide at the corresponding mass concentration for 5 days. The control group received no treatment. The death and malformation of embryos were observed. The heart rate of zebrafish embryos was recorded using confocol microscope. The protein expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3) and cleaved Caspase-3 and were observed by Western blot technology. RESULTS: The death and embryonic malformation rate of zebrafish embryos increased with the increase of doses, showing statistical significance(P<0.01). The heart rate of the 800 mg/L dose group was decreased compared with the control group [(77±8) vs(93±4) beats/min, P<0.01]. There was no statistical significant difference in LC3-Ⅱ protein expression in each groups(P>0.05). The cleaved Caspase-3 protein expression increased in all dose groups compared with the control group(P<0.05). The cleaved Caspase-3 protein expression in the 200 mg/L dose group was higher than that in the 50 mg/L dose group(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The nano-cerium oxide may induce cell apoptosis, causing toxic effect in early development of zebrafish embryos.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference f or the qualit y sta ndard establishment of Amaranthus retroflexus. METHODS : Taking 7 batches of A. retroflexus medicinal materials as the research object ,the appearance properties of the medicinal materials were investigated ,and the microscopic characteristics of the medicinal powders were observed. TLC method was adopted to qualitatively identify rutin ,valine and leucine in A. retroflexus medicinal materials. According to the relevant methods of the 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia (part Ⅳ),water content ,total ash content ,acid-insoluble ash content and water-soluble extract content were determined. HPLC method was used to determine the content of rutin in the medicinal material of A. retroflexus . The determination was performed on Agilent 5 TC-C18(2)column with mobile phase consisted of methanol- 0.3% phosphoric acid solution(40∶60,V/V),at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 358 nm,and the column temperature was 30 ℃. The sample size was 10 μL. RESULTS:The appearance and microstructure characteristics of the medicinal materials were consistent with the existing description. The identification results of TLC meth od showed that 7 batches of medicinal materials and each reference substance (rutin,valine,leucine)showed spots of the same color at the same position. The moisture content of 7 batches of A. retroflexus medicinal materials was 7.43%-8.72%,the total ash content was 11.82%-13.78%,the acid-insoluble ash content was 0.15%-0.55%,and the water-soluble extract content was 17.27%-24.74%. The linear range of rutin was 10-200 μg/mL(R 2=1.000 0). RSDs of precision test ,stability test (24 h)and repeatability test were all less than 2.0% (n=6). The average recovery rates of rutin were 99.14%,97.98% and 98.80% in low ,medium and high concentration of samples,and RSDs were 0.97%,0.95%,0.96%(n=3). The contents of rutin in 7 batches of A. retrophylla were 0.314-1.102 mg/g. CONCLUSIONS:In this study ,character observation ,microscopic identification ,moisture content ,total ash content ,acid- insoluble ash content and water-soluble extract content of A. retroflexus are investigated ;TLC method was established for qualitative identification of leucine ,valine and rutin in A. retroflexus ,and the HPLC method was established for content determination of rutin. It provides reference for the quality standard establishment of A. retroflexus .
