Objective To investigate the status of disinfection and sterilization quality of different levels of medical institu-tes in Xi’an,and improve the management level of disinfection and sterilization of medical institutes. Methods Disinfection and sterilization efficacy of 69 medical institutes were monitored and evaluated according to Standardization for Disinfec-tionTechniques (2002 edition)and Sanitary Standards for Hospital Disinfection (GB15982-1995). Results From 2011 to 2013,2 224 specimens were tested,1 766 (79.41% )were qualified.The qualified rate of tertiary medical institutes was higher than second and below medical institutes (83.67% vs 77.50% ,P= 0.001),the qualified rate between public medical institutes and private medical institutes was not statistically different (79 .64% vs 78 .20% , P= 0.532),the qualified rate of comprehensive medical institutes was higher than specialized medical institutes (80.18% vs 74.92% ,P= 0.030). Of different detected specimens,the qualified rates of disinfectant in use and pressure steam sterilizers (including test pack and process challenge device)were higher (98.46% ,100.00% ,and 98.06% respectively),while the hands of health care workers (HCWs)and glutaraldehyde were lower(58.48% and 43 .28% respectively).Conclusion Disinfection and sterilization quality in different medical institutes in Xi’an is dif-ferent,and different disinfected and sterilized objects are also varied .It is necessary to intensify the management of hand hygiene of HCWs and concentration of glutaraldehyde.

Objective:To investigate the effect of sintering temperature on the shrinkage and microstructure of dental fluorosilicic mica glass-ceramic with two different particle size. Methods:Fluorosilicic mica glass powder with average particle diameter of 72.8 ?m was named PO and that with average diameter of 4.5 ?m was named Pm. PO and Pm were molded by cool isostatic pressing technique and then sintered at different temperatures between 600-1 000 ℃. The shrinkage and microstructure of the sintered blocks of PO and Pm were systematically compared with each other. Results:The shrinkage of PO and Pm blocks were all increased as the temperature ascended. However, the shrinkage curves were distinctly different. At the same sintering temperature the shringkage of Pm was larger than that of PO. Moreover, the turning points of temperature (reflecting transition of the sintering mechanisms) of Pm was higher than that of PO. The microstructure observation showed that sintering at 950 ℃ resulted in mica crystal in glass-ceramics and the best compactness of the sintered blocks of both PO and Pm. Conclusion:Sintering glass powder of smaller particle size at 700-850 ℃ may achieve better sintering compactness.

Objective To study the role of the expression of P-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) in hamster to rat concordant cardiac xenotransplantation.Methods Intra-(abdominal) cardiac transplantation was performed by using SD rats as recipients of Golden Syrian(hamster) hearts.The rats were divided into 4 groups randomly: group I(n=15),unmodified(recipients) were used as control; group II(n=15),splenectomy at day 0;group III(n=15),the rats were treated with cyclosporine A(CsA) 10 mg/kg every day from day 0;group IV(n=15),splenectomy in combined with CsA.The survival of hamster hearts was observed in each group.The xenograft was harvested at rejection and scheduled time in accordance with the experimental design,and analyzed for histology.The expression of P-selectin and ICAM-1 was detected by immunohistochemistry in xenograft after xenotransplantation.Results The mean survival time of the xenograft in group IV was 34.20?8.98 days,which was significantly longer in groups I,II and III (P

To discuss the clinical situation and treatment of cervical intramedullary spinal teratoma, two cases of it in our department were presented, and the related literatures were reviewed. A concomitant anomaly of the cervical vertebral canal was found to be accompanied by cervical intramedullary spinal teratoma. MRI showed the tumors with mixed signal intensity. During operation the tumor was found to have both cysts and hard bony nodules. It was very difficult to remove the total tumor. It is concluded that the plain film of cervical vertebra and cervical spine MRI are sensitive to differentiate teratomas from other tumors. Surgery should be the first choice for treatment.

To correlate the ultrasound and MR imaging of carotid atherosclerotic plaque with its histologic compositions,20 patients(22 lesions) scheduled for carotid endarterectomy were examined by B mode ultrasound and MRI preoperatively. The specimens were also examined postoperatively and the images of carotid plaque were recorded. The transverse pathological sections of plaques were made and matched with images of ultrasound and MRI. 256 gray scale ultrasound densitometric analysis of carotid plaque compositions was performed. Ultrasonic density of calcium, fibrous tissue, hemorrage/thrombus and lipid deposits was (89?12), (53?8), (37?6) and (39?3) respectively in vivo , and was (168?11), (136?12), (85?12) and (89?10) respectively in vitro . In vivo relative signal intensities of calcium, fibrous tissue, old hemorrhage/thrombus and lipid deposits were low, equal, equal and very high respectively on T 1 W MR image, and very low, equal, high and high respectively on PDW MR image, and low, equal or slightly high, high and high respectively on T 2 W MR image. Signal intensities of plaque contents ex vivo were correlated to signal intensities in vivo. Densitometric analysis of ultrasound images of carotid plaques can quantify possible components of plaque, and MRI has the feasibility to identify the components of plaque.

To study the distribution of two different phenotype mast cells in atherosclerotic lesions of human carotid arteries, 32 samples of endarterectomy and 10 autopsies of normal carotid specimens were fixed and embeded in paraffin, sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin, toluidine blue,monoclonal antibodies against the two major proteases of mast cells(tryptase and chymase) and monoclonal antibodies against CD-3 of T lymphocytes and CD-68 of macrophages. The quantity,distribution and degranule of two different phenotype mast cells in atherosclerotic lesions of human carotid arteries were investigated,and the ratio of mast cells to T lymphocytes and macrophages in atherosclerotic lesions was calculated. The density(cells/mm 2 ) of mast cells in shoulder region of plaque(6 3?4 0) was much higher than that in normal intima,cap and core region(1 3?2 3,2 3?2 6,2 2?3 7) .The proportion of chymase-containing mast cells to tryptase-containing mast cells was 0 36,0 51,0 47 and 0 39 respectively in normal intima,cap,core and shoulder region of plaque.The propotion of degranulated mast cells was the highest in shoulder region of plaque(65%).The ratios of mast cells to T lymphocytes and to macrophages were 0 25 and 0 14 respectively in shoulder region of plaques.Light microscopic studies of mast cells revealed that mast cells were more commonly observed in thrombus and around calcification and blood vessels of plaque.Mast cells play a role in the formation of plaque,and participate in the destabilization of plaque.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of serum miR-155 for pancreatic cancer.Methods A total of 110 pancreatic cancer patients,70 chronic pancreatitis and 58 healthy individuals who admitted to the First People's Hospital of Hefei between January 2009 and August 2013 were prospectively enrolled.Their serum miR-155 levels were detected by real-time PCR.The receiver operating characteristic curve was employed to estimate the diagnostic accuracy of miR-155 for pancreatic cancer.Correlations between miR-155,carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) and TNM stages were analyzed.The Kap1an-Meier approach and the Cox model were used to assess the prognostic value of miR-155 for pancreatic cancer.Results Pancreatic cancer patients had significantly higher serum miR-155 when compared either with chronic pancreatitis patients or healthy individuals (P ＜ 0.05 for both).The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve were 0.82 (95％ CI:0.75 ～ 0.88) for miR-155,and 0.88 (95％ CI:0.82 ～0.93) for miR-155 combined with CA19-9.MiR-155 increased as the TNM stages advanced,and it was positively correlated with CA 19-9 (R2 =0.22,P ＜ 0.05).MiR-155 ≥ 1.46 △CT was independently associated with pancreatic cancer mortality,with a hazard ration of 2.88 (95％ CI:1.26 ～ 6.58).Conclusion Serum miR-155 is a useful biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis of pancreatic cancer.
