Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine 2014;23(2):196-199
Objective To research the pathogenies' types and analyze the antibacterial drug' s using rationality from the children with acute respiratory infection,our study were generated by pediatric department from the hospital lasting 2 years.Methods A total of 93 pediatric patients with acute respiratory infection admitted from December 1,2010 through November 30,2012 were enrolled into study.The throat swabs from 93 patients were sent to the Beijing Center for Disease and Prevention (CDC) to identify the influenza virus,syncytial virus and mycoplasma with rapid nucleic acid test.The specimens of sputum from hospitalized patients were sent to the hospital bacterial laboratory for bacteria culture.With the Children Drug Utilization Index (cDUI),the rationality of using antibiotics was estimated.The database was established by using SPSS version 18.0 software and the data were analyzed to determine the statistical distinction among the percentage by the Chi square test (P < 0.05).Results Of them,70.96% pediatric patients were below 3 years old (excluding newborns).Of them,62.36% patients had positive findings of viral infection.The predominant viruses of respiratory infection were syncytial virus accounting for 30.43%,the influenza viruses 24.63% and the para-influenza virus 10.14%.The patients with positive results in vital test were more vulnerable to lower respiratory infection than those with negative results.The pneumonia patients with positive finding of syncytial virus accounted for 85.71% (18 patients) in which the median cDUI was 1.30.The antibiotics were given to 28 pneumonia patients with positive virus test,in which the median cDUI was 1.05.Of 28 pneumonia patients,4 (16%) had positive bacteria growth in sputum cultures,and 4 cases (16%) had positive bacteria growth in blood cultures.Conclusions In the district of hospital,the lower respiratory infection was usually caused by viruses.Therefore,antibiotics should not be given in patients without evidence of bacterial infection.It is a irrational strategy to use antibiotics in those patients when the Children Drug Utilization Index is high (> 1.0).It is paramount important to notice that the percentage of positive bacteria growth in sputum cultures is usually not high because the antibiotics are given by OPD physicians before hospitalization of patients with bacterial infections in the acute respiratory illness.

Objective To analyze the etiological results and clinical characteristics in infants with acute pneumonia at the age of 0 ~ 1 years and to evaluate the rationality of the use of antibiotics.Methods Thirty-four infants hospitalized during Dec 2010 to Nov 2012 were selected.The throat swabs were sent to the Beijing Disease Prevention and Control Center for rapid nucleic acid test for influenza; the sputum was sent to the bacteriological laboratory of the hospital for the bacterial culture.Children drug utilization index (cDUI)was used to assess the rationality of the medication amount of antibiotic drugs.For defined daily dose statistic (DDDs),the larger the value of DDDs,the more frequent the clinical use of the drug.Results In the confirmed cases of acute pneumonia,21 cases were of viral infection,9cases were of bacterial infection and 4 cases were of mixed infection.The probability of bacterial pneumonia (4/9) was higher than that of viral pneumonia(5/21) in the case with underlying disease (P <0.001) ;the virus detection rate(12/21) of children with contact history with respiratory tract infection patients was higher than bacteria detection rate(4/9)(P =0.01).In case of no risk of cross infection,the infants were more susceptible to bacterial infection (P =0.006).The sputum culture of 25 cases of positive virus detection showed 13 cases of colonization of conditional pathogenic bacteria and 4 cases of pathogenic bacteria.The ratio of combination use of antibiotic drugs in case of bacterial infection (4/9) was higher than that in mixed infection (1/4) (P =0.001).The durations of the use of antibiotic drugs for every group showed no statistical difference (P =0.29).This research involved 7 antibiotic drugs.The medication frequencies and durations of ceftriaxone (DDDs =1813.45,total medication duration =187 days) and cefuroxirne (DDDs =1513.73,total medication duration =162 days) were higher than those of the other 5 antibiotic drugs.The cDUI of all drugs ≤ 1.0.The decreasing order of drugs by cDUI was amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium (cDUI =1.0),cefuroxime (cDUI=0.89),ceftriaxone (cDUI =0.87),azithromycin oral agent and cefepime (cDUI =0.80),midecamycin oral agent (cDUI =0.75) and penicillin injections (cDUI =0.50).Conclusion Virus is the main pathogen of the acute pneumonia in children in this research.Virus provides preliminary conditions for bacterial colonization.The overuse of ceftriaxone aggravates the pathogenic risks of conditional pathogenic virus.Some children are treated by antibiotic drugs for a long time or by the combination use of drugs,which are irrational mediation.

Objective To analyze the gene expression profiles in response to ΔNp63α overexpression, and screen the potential target genes or signal pathways regulated by ΔNp63α. Methods To generate ΔNp63α overexpressed SiHa cells ( SiHa-ΔNp63α) and the control cells ( SiHa-NC) , recombinant lentivirus transfection was performed. Microarray was applied to detect the change of gene expression profiles, and the results were analyzed with bioinfor-matic software. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to validate the expression levels of selected genes. Results Among the 1405 differentially expressed genes which were statistically significant, >1. 5 fold increase or reduce of gene expression, 843 were up-regulated and 562 were down-regulated in SiHa cells with ΔNp63α overexpression. The genes were mostly involved in cell development,cycle regulation, signal transduction, communication, adhe-sion, metastasis and invasion, etc. The involved signal pathways consisted of antigen processing and presentation, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, cell adhesion, complement and coagulation cascades, and so on. Conclu-sion The research on the potential target genes or mediated signal pathways regulated by ΔNp63α could be helpful to explain the development of cervical cancer.

Objective To carry out the clinical validation of a domestic HBsAg kit to evaluate its application value. Methods 543 serum samples with HBsAg ELISA values of S/CO ≥ 0. 7 were tested by HBsAg confirmatory test. Specific anti-HBs reagent and control reagent were added separately into duplicate wells of HBsAg ELISA plate, in which test sample was also added. After incubation at 37℃, HBsAg was detected by routine ELISA, and the inhibition rate was calculated using absorbanee (A) result of anti-HBs reagent well and control reagent well according to the provided formula. The sample was confirmed as HBsAg positive when the inhibition rate was≥50%. For HBsAg weakly positive samples, "prolonged confirmatory test" (conjugate reaction time was prolonged to 120 rain) was applied to increase the sensitivity. 39 samples were randomized selected for testing and comparison with Abbott Murex confirmatory test. Results 543 serum samples in total were tested by the confirmatory test. Among the 504 cases which showed positive reaction in screening HBsAg ELISA, 89 ( 17. 7% ) were confirmed as negative. According to their S/CO value of the screening HBsAg test, the ratio of negative cases / tested eases in the group were:S/CO≤<5.0, 87/143 (60. 8% ) ;5.0 < S/CO ≤ 10. 0,0/25 (0) ;10. 0 < S/CO ≤ 15.0, 1/21 (4. 8% ) ;15.0 < S/CO ≤ 20. 0, 1/23 (4. 4% ) ;S/CO 20. 0, 0/292(0). Among 39 cases with negative HBsAg (0. ≤

Objective To know about the influences of KTH integrated intervention on the blood pressure and quality of life of elderly patients with essential hypertension so as to explore the effective model of health education suitable for them. Methods 120 elderly hypertensive patients recruited from the community in Hengyang city were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group, each group had 60 patients. The experimental group accepted KTH integrated intervention weekly, and control group was accepted routine hypertension education monthly. The blood pressure was taken before, during and after intervention. Meantime the quality of life was surveyed with WHOQOL- 100 questionnaires before and after the intervention. Results The systolic pressure and diastolic pressure in the experimental group were more lower than those before intervention and those of the control group after intervention. The hypertension of the experimental group was more stable as the time passed. There were distinguished differences between two groups in the quality of life, physical, psychological, social relationships, environmental and spirituality domain. However, there was no distinguished differences between two groups in the domain of independence. Conclusions KTH integrated intervention can make elderly hypertensive patients to keep blood pressure stable and improve their quality of life.
