Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2013;20(22):3366-3368
Objective To determine epidemiology and risk factors for nosocomial infections in severe patients.Methods The study included 434 patients (7394 patient-days)during a 2-year period (2010-2011).The incidence rate of infection,pathogenic bacteria,correlation factor of infected were analyzed.Results A total of 225 infections were identified in 113 patients(26.0%).The incidence and infection rates were 56.8 in 1000-patient days and 51.8%,respectively.The infections were pneumonia (40.9%),bloodstream (30.2%),urinary tract (23.6%) and surgical site infections (5.3%).Pseudomonas aeruginosa (22.6%),methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (22.2%) and Acinetobacter spp.(11.9%) were frequently isolated micro-organisms.Median length of stay with nosocomial infection and without were 13 days (Interquartile range,IQR,20) and 2 days (IQR,2),respectively (P < 0.01).In logistic regression analysis,mechanical ventilation[odds ratio(OR):16.35 ;95% confidence interval(CI):8.26 ~32.34;P <0.01),coma(OR:15.04;95% CI:3.41 ~66.33;P <0.01),trauma(OR:10.27 ;95% CI:2.34~45.01 ;P <0.01),nasogastric tube(OR:2.94 ;95% CI:1.47 ~ 5.90; P < 0.01),tracheotomy (OR:5.77 ;95% CI:1.10 ~30.20;P <0.05) and APACHE Ⅱ scores 10 ~ 19(OR:10.80;95% CI:1.10 ~ 106.01 ;P <0.05) were found to be significant risk faetors for nosocomial infection.Rate of nosocomial infection increased with the number of risk factors(P <0.01).Mortality rates were higher in infected patients than in non-infected patients(60.9 vs 22.1% ;P <0.01).Conclusion These data suggest that,in addition to underlying clinical conditions,some invasive procedures can be independent risk factors for nosocomial infection in ICU.

Objective To investigate the influence of high-fat diet on blood pressure and metabolism in Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats and its mechanism.Methods Forty male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups which were fed with a diet containing 53% calorie as fat(HF) or a normal diet(ND) for 5 or 10 weeks.Systolic blood pressure(SBP),body weight,abdominal adipose tissue,blood lipids,fasting insulin(FINS),and fasting plasma glucose(FPG) were measured after 5 and 10 weeks respectively.Results SBP of HF groups were higher than that of ND groups [HF5 vs.ND5,(105.506?4.634)mmHg vs.(100.060?4.773)mmHg,P

The frequency of peripheral lymphocyte subsets using monoclonal was studied in patients with viral myocarditis (MC). The percentage of T_8 positive cells was significantly lower in patients with MC of heart failure(MCHF) than that in patients with MC of arrhythmias and that in normal controls, whereas the T_4/T_8 ratio was significantly inereased in MCHF patients. At the same time, suppressive T cells (Ts) function in patients with MC was evaluated by shortlived assay. The Ts function was significantly reduced in MCHF patients, close correlation was found between the Ts function and the hemodynamic function in MCHF patients. Abnormal immunoreguiation may be of the important pathogenic factor in MCHF patients.

Objective To investigated the inhibitory effect of an IgG-Fc region specific inhibitory peptide on the ANCA-accelerated apoptosis of neutrophils. Methods The peptide was prepared by solid-phase peptide synthesis and its biological activity was identified by rosette formation assay. ANCA was prepared from the sera of active Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) patients. Neutrophils isolated from the blood of healthy volunteers were primed with TNF-?(2 ng/ml) then incubated with ANCA. At different intervals(3, 6, 12, 18 hours) the neutrophils were harvested to assess the apoptosis by flow cytometric analysis of JC-1 staining, Sub-G1 population and fonnation TUNEL technique. Results Tg19320 bound tightly to human IgG dose-dependendy and inhibited statistically the rosette formation between SRBC-IgG and U937 cells(20.3% vs 53.2% ,P

Objective To investigate the localization and distribution of the five endocrine cells in the digestive tract mucosa of ricefield eel(Monopterus albus). Methods Using immunocytochemical technique of strept avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex(SABC) were used. Results At least 5 kinds of immunoreactive endocrine cells distributed in the digestive tract mucosa of M.albus. They were gastrin(Gas),somatostatin(Som),5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT),insulin(Ins),and neurofilament (NF) immunoreactive endocrine(IRE) cells.Gas and Som-IRE cells distributed between stratified squamous epithelium and goblet cell in esophagus. A large number of Gas-IRE cells were found between gastric fundus epithelium and gastric glands, and only a few in the carcia. Ins, 5-HT and NF-IRE cells distributed in the epithelium pylorus and pyloric glandular tube respectively. No any immunoreactive positive reaction was found in the gut of M.albus.In addition, immunoreactive positive reaction of glucagons was not found in whole digestive tract.All immunoreactive endocrine cells were dark brown in color.Their morphology was irregular, cytoplasmic process was shorter and thicker, their nucleus showed an empty bubble.They distributed between esophageal epithelium and gastric epithelium or glandular epithelium, and cytoplasmic process extended to the gastric lumen and glandular cavity.Conclusion There is a complex endocrine function of the digestive system in ricefield eel (M.albus) at the lowest vertebrate.
