Objective To investigate and dispose an outbreak of seasonal influenza in hospital,so as to provide reference for the prevention and control of influenza outbreak in hospital.Methods Eight cases of influenza-like in-fection occurred in the department of neurosurgery at a hospital between July 29 and August 7,2014,epidemiologi-cal investigation was conducted,throat swabs of infected persons were collected for laboratory detection.Results Of 8 infected persons,6 were health care workers (HCWs)in department of neurosurgery,1 was a family member of HCW,and 1 was a patient,the major symptoms of the infected persons were low-grade fever,sore throat,and ma-laise,there were 67 patients and HCWs in this department,the attack rate of influenza was 11.94%,there was no similar infection in other departments of the hospital during the same period.The throat swabs from 6 infected HCWs were positive in influenza virus nucleic acid detection.Office for healthcare-associated infection (HAI)man-agement participated the investigation,after active isolation and antiviral treatment,the outbreak was effectively controlled.Conclusion This HAI outbreak is a seasonal influenza H3 outbreak,ventilation and environmental dis-infection in wards should be strengthened when central air conditioning is running,anti-influenza vaccination among HCWs should be performed during the epidemic season of influenza,and surveillance should be strengthened to pre-vent influenza outbreak in hospital.

This study is to establish the gastric hot model of rats. After gastric feeding with ethanol solution for 3 weeks and feeding with extra capsaicin and ethanol solution for another 2 weeks, model group show distinct physical sign of gastric hot syndrome. The pathology of gastrics reveals gastricism of model group, while treatment group (treat with Zuojin Wan) shows mild lesion. Elisa detection of model group show that the solution of interleukin-2 (IL-2) is higher than the blank group. The obvious difference among model group, treatment group and blank group reveals the success of the establishment of gastric hot model.

This study is to establish the gastric cold model of rats. After gastric feeding with cold water for 5 weeks and extra iced water bath in the last 2 weeks, model group show distinct physical sign of gastric cold syndrome. The pathology of gastrics reveals gastricism of model group, while treatment group(treated with Fanzuojin Wan) show mild lesion. Elisa detection of model group show that the solution of interleukin-2 (IL-2) is higher than blank group. The difference with significance among model group, treatment group and blank group reveals the success of the establishment of gastric cold syndrome.

Objective To study the cerebral energy metabolism changes of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) through hydrogen magnetic resonance spectroscopy examination (1 HMRS ) and its relationship with partial pressure of oxygen / carbon dioxide tension.Methods Totally 13 cases of AECOPD patients and 10 cases of age-matched healthy people underwent HMRS examination.The ratios of n-acetyl-aspartate(NAA)/creatine(Cr),choline (Cho)/Cr,myo-inositol(MI)/Cr of parieto-temporal and occipital areas of brain were detected.Blood gas analysis were also used to detect partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and carbon dioxide (PaCO2).Results NAA / Cr of parieto-temporal and occipital areas of brain (1.32±0.12,1.48±0.12) were lower in AECOPD group than those in control group (1.45±0.11,1.58±0.10) (P＜ 0.05),MI/Cr (0.23±0.07,0.30±0.11) were also decreased compared with control group (0.40±0.14,0.46±0.12) (P＜ 0.01),while Cho/Cr of parieto -temporal and occipital areas of brain between the AECOPD group and control group showed no significant difference (P＞0.05).NAA/Cr of parieto temporal and occipital areas of brain were positively correlated with PaO2 (r=0.46 and 0.44),and MI/Cr of these areas of brain were also positively related with PaO2 (r=0.63 and 0.50),but MI / Cr of parieto tempora was negatively correlated with PaCO2 (r =- 0.472). Conclusions Cerebral metabolite changes may occur in AECOPD patients,and this has relationship with hypoxia and carbon dioxide retention.

Background and purpose:Cancer microenvironment has become a hot topic of cancer research. It is important in the initiation of colorectal cancer. This study aimed to discuss the correlation between the characteristics of tissue culturein vitro and different cell types in cancer microenvironment.Methods:Samples were collected at different distances from the colorectal cancer lesions, which were named as positions 1, 2 and 3 from distal to proximal. Tissues were cut into 1-2 mm3 forin vitro culturing. HE staining was used to observe the structure of crypts. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of Cyclin D1 (CD1), CD133, cytokeratin18 (CK18), vimentin and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA).Results:Position 3 grew faster than position 2 and position 1. As getting closer to the colorectal cancer lesions, expressions of CD1, CD133, vimentin and α-SMA were increased while expression of CK18 was decreased.Conclusion:The tissue structure and the expression of different cell types in cancer microenvironment changed more seriously as get-ting closer to the colorectal cancer lesions. This indicated that the change of cancer microenvironment may contribute to the initiation of colorectal cancer.

Objective To detect the levels of CD4+CD25HiCD127Low regulatory T cells (Treg) in the peripheral blood and its clinical significance in patients with esophageal cancer. Methods The levels of Treg in the peripheral blood were detected by three-color flow cytometry (FCM) in 80 patients with esophageal cancer and 20 healthy controls. Among the 80 patients, 30 patients were also further studied for preoperative and postoperative comparison after operation. The clinical and pathological data of each patient were collected and analyzed for the correlation with the Treg levels. Results The level of Treg in the peripheral blood of the control group was lower than that of the esophageal cancer patients [(3.36±1.14) % and (5.70±1.96) %, respectively], with significant difference (P <0.01). The levels of Treg in the peripheral blood was higher in the patients with metastasis of lymph node (n=40) than that in the patients without metastasis of lymph node (5.96±1.36) % and (4.23±1.18) %, respectively] (n=30), with significant difference (P <0.01). The levels of Treg in the peripheral blood of the patients were negatively correlated with their TNM classification. As the TNM classification advanced, the level of the Treg in the peripheral blood increased. Conclusion The levels of Treg in the peripheral blood of the patients with esophageal cancer are significantly higher than that of the healthy subjects, which is correlated with the clinical and pathological conditions. The development of esophageal cancer may relate with suppression of immune function.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of γδT17,Th17 and Tc17 cells in the lung of mice severely infected by influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus and the relationship between these cells with lung immunopathalogical injury.Methods:Intranasal infection was used to establish mouse model of severe H1N1 infection.Flow cytometry assay was used to detect the proportion and number of γδT17 cells,Th17 cells and Tc17 cells in the lung.The concentrations of interleukin-17A(IL-17A),interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and interleukin-23(IL-23) in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and serum were assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Lu-minex assay.Results:①The model of mice severely infected by influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus was established successfully.②The ratio of γδT cells,but not CD4+T and CD8+T cells in total lymphocytes of the lung of infected mice significantly increased compared with uninfected control mice at the third day post infection(DPI)(P<0.01).③The proportion and number of γδT17 cells,Th17 cells and Tc17 cells in total γδT cells,Th cells and Tc cells in the lung of infected mice were significant higher than that in uninfected control mice at the first DPI,respectively.However,the absolute number of γδT17 cells was far more than Th17 and Tc17 cells(P<0.05);④The concentration of IL-17A in BALF increased significantly after infection(P<0.05),and the concentration of IL-17A in serum increased significantly at the third DPI(P<0.05).The concentrations of both IL-1β and IL-23 in BALF probably participating in the activation of γδT17 cells increased significantly after infection compared with uninfected control mice.Conclusion:The γδT17 cells could be activated and secreted IL-17A via γδTCR non-depended pathway and involved in inflammatory pathological injury of lung at the early stage of severe H1N1 infection.
