Objective To evaluate the effect of selective oral decontamination (SOD)on reducing incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).Methods Sixty patients hospitalized in an intensive care unit (ICU)for >72 hours and with mechanical ventilation for >48 hours from January to June 2102 were selected for study,patients were ran-domly divided into trial group(n =30)and control group(n=30).All patients received cefotaxime intravenous drip for 4 days,then trial group received oropharyngeal application of tobramycin during the whole process of mechanical ventila-tion,control group topically received saline solution,the incidence and onset time of VAP ,duration of mechanical ventila-tion,length of stay in ICU,and mortality of two groups were compared.Sputum in the trachea was taken periodically for bacterial culture.Results The incidence of VAP in trial group was lower than control group (30.00% vs 63.33%);the onset time of VAP was later than control group ([9.37±6.62]d vs [5.17 ±4.72]d);Overall duration of me-chanical ventilation was less than control group ([7.63 ±6.91 ]d vs [12.26 ±9.36]d);length of stay in ICU was shorter than control group([13.56±7.22]d vs [16.79±11 .16]d)(all P <0.05).There were no significant differ-ence in mortality between two groups(P >0.05).Conclusion SOD is effective for preventing and treating VAP,it can reduce the incidence of VAP,delay onset time of VAP,shorten mechanical ventilation,and reduce length of stay in ICU.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between dyslipidemia and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), with which as a theory base and proof we may further study about the mechanism of atherosclerosis (AS) leading to AAA. Methods Thirty abdominal aortic aneurysm patients in Guangdong General Hospital from 2013 to 2014 were enrolled into the experimental group and 26 healthy people into the control group. The serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein a (Lpa), nonestesterified fatty acid (NEFA), homocysteine (HCY), apolipoprotein A (ApoA) and apolipoprotein B(ApoB)were tested in the study. The statistical significance of the difference of them was examined by the independent two-sample t-test. Result The serum TG and HCY level in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The serum ApoA and HDL level in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The serum levels of TC, LDL, Lpa, NEFA and Apo B had no significant difference in both groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion The serum levels of TG and HCY are increased and the levels of Apo A and HDL are decreased in patients with AAA.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of lateral lymphadenectomy for advanced lower rectal cancer. Methods A total of 96 consecutive patients who underwent total mesorectal excision and lateral lymphadenectomy for advanced lower rectal cancer were retrospectively evaluated by using therapeutic index. A product of the frequency of lymph node metastasis and the cancer-related 5-year survival rate. Results The incidences of lymph node metastasis in mesorectal area, superior rectal artery area, inferior mesenteric artery area and lateral area was 21%,13%.10%and 15%respectively.The 5-year survival rate of patients with metastasis to the mesorectal area, superior rectal artery area, inferior mesenteric artery area and lateral area was 35%,25%,20%and 36%respectively.The therapeutic indexes for total mesorectal excision and lateral lymphadenectomy were 7.4 and 5.4,which were much higher than that of lymphadenectomy of the superior rectal artery area(3.3)and inferior mesenteric artery area(2.0).Local recurrence occurred in 19%(18 out of 96 cases)patients with advanced lower rectal cancer. Local recurrence rate of patients with positive lateral lymph node metastasis was 64%(9 of 14 cases),whereas it was 11%(9 of 82 cases)in those without lateral lymph node metastasis. The difference between these two groups was statistically significant(x2=22.308,P=0.000).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed significant improvements in median survival(80.9±2.1)m,95%CI:76.7～85.1 m vs(38±6.7)m,(95%CI:24.8～51.2 m)for patients with negative lateral lymph node metastasis over patients with lateral lymph node metastasis(log-rank,P=0.000). Conclusion The current results indicate that lateral pelvic lymphadenectomy could significantly reduce loeal recurrence and effectively improve the survival of patients with advanced lower rectal cancer. Except for total mesorectal excision, lateral pelvic lymphadenectomy should be followed in the surgery of pailents with advanced low rectal cancer.

Objective To observe the expression of Her-2/neu protein and androgen receptor (AR) in human prostate cancer and to evaluate their significances in the progression of prostate cancer. Methods The Her-2/neu protein and AR immunohistochemical stain were carried out in human prostate tissue microarray that consisted of prostate cancer (107 cases) and benign prostate tissue (42 cases). The prostate cancer cases were divided into 4 groups: group one (Gleason score 6),group two (Gleasonscore 7), group three (Gleasonscore 8) and group four (Gleasonscore 9) according to the Gleason score. The immunostains immunohistochemical stain were interpreted in two aspects of the staining intensity and the percentage of positive cells. The significance and relationships between the expression of Her-2/neu protein and AR in prostate cancer and benign prostate tissue (BPT) and the grouping of different Gleason scores of prostate cancer were then evaluated. Results The positive expression rate of Her-2/neu protein was significantly higher in prostate cancer tissue than in BPT [43.9%(47/107) vs. 14.3%(6/42), x2=11.562, P=0.009], and the positive expression intensity of Her-2/neu immunoreactivity was also higher (x2= 11.764, P=0.008). There were significant differences in positive expression intensity of Her-2/neu immunoreactivity among the different Gleason scores groups (x2 = 20. 512, P = 0. 015), and the expression intensity was significantly positively correlated with Gleason scores ( r= 0. 269, P = 0. 005). There was significant difference in AR immunoreactivity between in prostate cancer (67 %, 72/107) and in BPT (50 %, 21/42, x2 =3. 843, P=0. 050). Among prostate cancer cases, the positive expression intensity of AR was not significantly different among groups 1 through 4 (x2 = 4. 318, P = 0. 229), and was not significantly correlated with Gleason scores ( r = - 0. 065, P = 0. 505 ). Moreover, the positive expression intensity of Her-2/neu protein was not significantly correlated with that of AR (r = -0. 115, P=0. 237). Conclusions Overexpression of Her-2/neu protein in human prostate cancer tissue suggests that Her-2/neu may have some role in prostate tumorigenesis. Her-2/neu protein expression is positively correlated with Gleason score in prostate cancer, which suggests that Her-2/neu may be a potential prognostic predictor of prostate cancer.

Objective To prepare a conjugate vaccine by linking Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)polysaccharide to PsaA protein carrier and evaluate the immunogenicity and efficacy of the conjugate vaccine. Methods A recombinant protein rPsaA,expressed by using the genetic engineering technology, was used as a protein carrier to prepare conjugate vaccine together with Hib polysaccharide. Ten mice at age of 3 weeks were immunized with the conjugate vaccine,while another 10 age-matched mice were immunized with Hib-tetanus toxoid(Hib-TT)vaccine which was produced formerly as a control. The mice treated with equal volume of PBS were set up as the negative control. The IgG antibodies in serum samples against PsaA and Hib polysaccharide were detected in two weeks after the final immunization. A suspension of Pneumococ-cus was injected into the middle ears of mice from experiment and control group. Histopathological analysis was performed to measure the clearance of bacteria in the middle ears and the severity of infection on days 3 and 7 after bacterial challenge. Results The rPsaA protein was prepared by the genetic engineering tech-nology and purified successfully with anion-exchange column. The Hib polysaccharide-PsaA protein conju-gate vaccine was prepared through a series of amide condensation reactions. The detection of IgG antibodies against PsaA protein and Hib polysaccharide in the immunized mice demonstrated that there was no signifi-cant difference with the titer of IgG against Hib polysaccharide between the mice immunized with the Hib-PsaA conjugate vaccine and those immunized with the Hib-TT vaccine. Less Pneumococcus strains were de-tected in the middle ears of mice immunized with the conjugate vaccine than those mice immunized with the Hib-TT vaccine three days after challenge. The mice from control group showed severe inflammation in the middle ears than those from experiment group. The Hib polysaccharide-PsaA protein conjugate vaccine im-proved protection against Pneumococcus infections as compared with the Hib-TT vaccine. Conclusion The rPsaA protein could be produced by genetic engineering technology and purified by anion-exchange column. The Hib polysaccharide was successfully conjugated with the rPsaA protein through amide condensation reac-tion. Both anti-PsaA and anti-Hib immune responses were induced in young mice by the injection of Hib pol-ysaccharide-PsaA protein conjugate vaccine. Apart from providing protection against Hib infection,the con-jugate vaccine might also be used for the prevention of acute otitis media caused by Pneumococcus infection.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of huge pancreatic pseudocysts and to evaluate the effect of different surgical treatments. Method We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 27 patients with huge pancreatic pseudocyst managed from Feb 1991 to Feb 2008. Result Among a total of 129 patients with pancreatic pseudocyst treated during this period of time,27 (20.9% ) patients were diagnosed as with huge pancreatic pseudocyst (diameter > 10cm). As to the etiology, 51.9% of the psudoeyst was caused by acute pancreatitis, 33.3% by pancreatic trauma and previous surgery, 11.1% by chronic pancreatitis. Pseudoeysts in the majority of cases(21/27)had a history less than 6 weeks. Upper GI obstruction complicated 30% cases (8/27). Imaging showed that all huge pancreatic pseudocysts were single. ERCP showed communication with the main pancreatic duct in 9 out of 11 cases. Nine cases underwent catheter drainage, 10 cases underwent cystogastrostomy,2 cases underwent endoscopic drainage of pancreatic pseudocyst via ERCP, 17 cases underwent Roux-en-Y cystojejunostomy including 11 cases in which other previous procedures failed. All 27 cases were finally cured. Conclusions Huge pancreatic pseudocyst might have unique clinical characteristics. Anatomical changes of main pancreatic duct were found in most cases under ERCP. The proper time and indication for surgical intervention might be different from minor pancreatic pseudocyst.

Aim To investigate the relationship between the brain targeting effect and P-glycoprotein(P-gp)expression level of Danshensu borneol ester(DBE)and the combination use of sodium Danshensu and borneol(SDSS-B).Methods The liquid chromatography mass spectrometry(LC-MS)method was applied to investigate the accumulation of Danshensu(DSS)in rat brain tissues after intravenous injection of DBE,SDSS-B and SDSS.Also their effect on regulating the expression level of P-gp in rat hippocampus was investigated using Western blot.Results The brain targeting effect of DBE,SDSS-B was qualitatively analyzed through the brain distribution of DSS,and the result was DBE(SDSS-B)>SDSS(P<0.01).Meanwhile,the brain distribution of DBE group was slightly lower than SDSS-B group at 15 min,while at 30 min DBE was higher than that of SDSS-B.DBE demonstrated a better slow release property compared to SDSS-B.Western blot analysis indicated that DBE,SDSS-B were more effective in inhibiting the expression of P-gp than SDSS in rat hippocampus(P<0.01 vs control or SDSS group),and the lowest P-gp expression was obtained with(47.58±2.28)％and(46.54±1.41)％at 45 min after administration of DBE or SDSS-B.Once the administration time was extended to 60 min,the inhibitory effect on P-gp expression of DBE was stronger than SDSS-B[(85.04±1.42)％vs(95.29±0.98)％].However,no significant inhibition of P-gp expression in rat hippocampus was found throughout the treatment of SDSS(P>0.05 at 5,15,45,60 min,vs control group).Conclusion An attenuated expression level of P-gp can be realized by DBE and SDSS-B,which is advantageous to their brain targeting.

Objective: To explore the longitudinal relationship between upward social comparison and online aggressive behavior among college students, in order to provide an empirical evidence for educators to carry out mental health promotion for college students. Methods: From December 2021 to March 2022, 539 college students from one university in Inner Mongolia were recruited to complete the Upward Social Comparison Questionnaire (USCQ) and Online Aggressive Behavior Scale (OABS) in a 4 month follow-up study. The structural equation model was used to conduct cross-lagged analysis. Results: The mean scores of upward social comparison for college students tracked at baseline (T1) and 4 months follow-up (T2) were (2.77±0.93, 2.70±1.00) points, and the mean scores of online aggressive behavior were (1.06±0.13, 1.05±0.11) points. There were positive relations between upward social comparison and online aggressive behavior of college students at both cross-sectional levels ( r=0.14-0.19, P <0.05). In the autoregression, T1 upward social comparison could positively predict T2 upward social comparison ( β =0.66), and T1 online aggressive behavior could positively predict T2 online aggressive behavior ( β =0.47)( P <0.01); In the cross-lagged regression, T1 upward social comparison could positively predict T2 online aggressive behavior ( β=0.10, P <0.01), whereas T1 online aggressive behavior could not predict T2 upward social comparison ( β=0.04, P >0.05). Conclusion Upward social comparison is the cause of online aggressive behavior among college students. The probability of online aggressive behavior among college students should be reduced by guiding students to correctly view the gap between themselves and others.

Objective To appraise the safety and validity of early enteral nutrition on the course on treating severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).Methods The clinical data of 71 patients with SAP were analyzed retrospectively. The album, prealbumin, TNF-β,CD4/CD8,IgG were observed. All the patients were randomly divided into two groups: enteral nutrition(EN)group for 36 patients and total parenteral nutrition(TPN)group for 35 patients. Results Fourteen days after treatment,CD4/CD8 and IgG in EN group were significantly increased than those in TPN group(P＜0.05),and prealbumin level in EN group significantly elevated(P＜0.05)and was higher than that in TPN group(P＜0.05).After treatment,TNF-α level in EN group significantly depressed(P＜0.05)and was lower than that in TPN group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Early enteral nutrition is safe and valid, and can promote albumin synthesis and prealbumin levels to improve their nutrition in patients with SAP, and may build-up the barrier of enteric mucosa to prevent bacterial shift, reduce systemic inflammatory reaction and improve its prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between childhood abuse experience and suicide attitude among male prisoners, and the mediating effect of impact of event and thought suppression.Methods:Totally 370 male prisoners were tested by personal report of childhood abuse(PRCA), impact of event scale(IES), white bear suppression inventory(WBSI) and suicide attitude inventory(SAI). SPSS 22.0 was used for correlation analysis, regression analysis and other statistical analysis.Results:The scores of PRCA, IES, WBSI and SAI were (2.60±0.62), (2.69±0.62), (2.83±0.79), (3.06±0.61), respectively.There were significant differences in the scores of PRCA, IES and WBSI among different suicide attitude groups( F=42.69, 51.06, 78.76, all P<0.01). After controlling age variables, positive correlation was observed between PRCA, IES, WBSI and SAI ( r=0.38-0.76, all P<0.01). Impact of event and thought suppression played a mediating role in the relationship between childhood abuse experience and suicide attitude among male prisoners.The mediating effect included three paths: one was the single mediating effect of impact of event, the other was the single mediating effect of thought suppression and the third was the chain mediating effect of impact of event and thought suppression, and the effect values were 0.29, 0.23 and 0.05, respectively. Conclusion:Childhood abuse experience not only directly influences male prisoners' suicide attitude, but also indirectly influences their suicide attitude through the mediating effects of impact of event and thought suppression.
