OBJECTIVE To evaluate the current status that nosocomial infection constitutes one of the main problems threatening the safety of hospitalized patients and to set the idea that a good practice of hand hygiene will definitely improve the situation.METHODS The published papers and related regulations in this specific field were reviewed.RESULTS The most common way responsible for nosocomial infection was the transmission of pathogens by hands of medical staff;the detection rate of pathogens was as high as 80% in nursing staff hands,which included Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus by rates of 25.9%,22.2% and 14.8%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS It is of great importance to control nosocomial infection by realizing and using the hand hygiene knowledge,which is basic,simple,and practicable.

Objective To investigate the role of intestinal fatty acid-binding protein(IFABP) as a marker in the (early) diagnosis of intestinal ischemia. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into control group and superior mesenteric artery ligation group (SMA group). Blood samples were collected sequentially at pre-operation, 1, 2 and 4 hours after operation for detecting the activity of IFABP, CK, CK-BB and LDH. Results The activity of IFABP in SMA group elevated 1h and arrived to a peak at 2 hours postoperatively. Compared with control group, all the (levels) of CK, CK-BB and LDH in SMA group were elevated progressively with time after operation. Compared with control group, the significant elevation was at 1, 2 and 4 hours after opration. Conclusions I-FABP is a sensitive and specific marker in the diagnosis of intestinal ischemia.

The osteoclast is a hematopoietic cell derived from CFU GM, which is regulated by systemic hormones, soluble factors in the phase of differentiation, fusion and proliferation. The major singnaling pathways involved in osteoclastic bone resorption and formation in response to cytokine and hormones include cAMP and R PTK. The advances in our understanding of the osteoclast make it possible for us to comprehend the development and the treatment of the bone metabolic diseases.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Prostant in the treatment of chronic prostatitis. Methods A randomized, double-blind, positive drug-controlled clinical trial method was applied in the study. Through clinical symptoms, signs and expressed prostate secretion (EPS) examination, 80 patients with prostatitis were recruited and randomized into a trial group (60 cases) and a control group (20 cases). The trial group was treated with Prostant, and the control group was treated with wild chrysanthemum suppository. After screening, treatment and follow-up, in the trial group and the control group, the observation on clinical efficacy and safety were evaluated, such as the clinical symptoms, signs, EPS examination, the national institute health-chronic prostatits symptom index (NIH-CPSI) and the blood routine, urine routine, stool routine, the function of liver and kindney, electrocardiograph examination and the side effects. Results After 4-week treatment, the total effective rate was 74.14% in the trial group and 40.0% in the control group, the efficacy of Prostant was superior to that of wild chrysanthemum suppository (P =0.006). There was significant difference in clinical symptoms and NIH-CPSI between pre-treatment and post-treatment in the trial group and the control group (P

The present study was performed to investigate the relationship between the countercurrent of portal vein and intrahepatic cancerometastasis in patients with hepatic carcinoma under color Doppler flow imaging.To display the situation of portal carcinomatous thrombosis and intrahepatic cancerometastasis, two dimensional ultrasound was carried out in patients with hepatitis hepatocarcinoma and non hepatitis hepatocarcinoma. Also, color Doppler flow imaging was employed to examine the incidence of the pylic countercurrent and the portal vein hepatic artery fistula in four groups: hepatitis hepatocarcinoma group, non-hepatitis hepatocarcinoma group, hepatocirrhosis group and control group. The results showed that the incidences of portal carcinomatous thrombosis,intrahepatic cancerometastasis and the incidences of the countercurrent in portal vein were higher in hepatitis hepatocarcinoma group than those in non hepatitis hepatocarcinoma group ( P

Objective To incubate rat neural stem cells (NSCs) with selection-specific inhibitor ( LY294002) of PI3-K, and explore the effects of PI3-K/AKT signal transduction pathway in NSCs. Methods NSCs derived from E15-16 rats were isolated and cultured. After incubation of NSCs with different concentrations of LY294002 (0 to 40 μmol/L), cell survival ( WTS-8 assay), proliferation ( BrdU immunohistochemical identification), differentiation (β Tubulin-III immunohistochemical identification) and AKP phosphorylated protein (Western blotting) were detected. Results The effects of LY294002 on the survival, proliferation and differentiation of NSCs was concentration-dependent. The survival of the NSCs decreased significantly with a higher concentrations of LY294002 (25, 30, 35, 40 μmol/L) (P < 0. 05). The numbers of BrdU positive cells with LY294002 of 30, 35 and 40 μmol/L were significantly smaller than that of the control (LY294002 0 μmol/L) (P < 0.05). The numbers of β Tubulin-III positive cells with LY294002 of 35 and 40 μmol/L were significantly smaller than that of the control (P < 0. 05). The expression of AKT was blocked by LY294002 in a concentration-dependent manner. Conclusion PI3-K/AKT signal transduction pathway plays a vital role in the survival, proliferation and differentiation of NSCs.
