Objective To evaluate the effect of medical hygiene wipes on disinfecting object surface and compliance to use in an intensive care unit (ICU).Methods 30 beds in the ICU at a hospital were randomly selected and divided into three groups:A,B and C,each group had 10 beds.Group A were only provided hygiene wipes,group B used towel soaked in chlorine-containing disinfectant (disinfected towel),group C were provided both medical hygiene wipes and disinfected towel for selected use.Compliance to different disinfection methods,and disinfectant efficacy on object surface were compared.Results The rate of compliance to disinfection in group A was higher than group B (78.78% vs 42.12%,χ2 =68.56,P <0.05);except medical disposal trolley and ventilator,compliance to disinfection of the other object surface in group A were all higher than group B (all P <0.05).Except ventilator, adenosis triphosphate (ATP)values before and after disinfection of object surface in group A and B were both significantly different (both P <0.05 ),disinfectant efficacy of group A was superior to group B.Group C used medical hygiene wipes more than disinfected towel ([836 times,91 .57%]vs [77 times,8.43%]).Nurses spent (20.15+ 3.00 )minutes on preparing disinfectant every day,and (15.02 ± 2.00 )minutes on washing used disinfected towel,while hygiene wipes could be used immediately,discarded after use,and was timesaving. Conclusion Use of medical hygiene wipes is convenient,rapid,and without irritating odor,it also improves disinfection effect on object surface and ICU health care workers’compliance to disinfection.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the content determination of eudesmin in Zanthoxylum simulans. METH-ODS:HPLC was performed on the column of Kromasil C18 with mobile phase of acetonitrile-water(56:44,V/V)at flow rate of 1.0 ml/L,detection wavelength was 221 nm,column temperature was 25 ℃. RESULTS:The linear of eudesmin was 0.208-2.08 μg (r=0.999 8);RSDs of precision,reproducibility and stability tests were lower than 2.0%;recovery was 96.18%-103.04%(RSD=2.58,n=6). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple and good reproducibility,and can be used for the content determination of eu-desmin in Z. simulans.

Objective To study the correlation of expression of DNA topoisomerase Ⅱ alpha (TOP2A)with expressions of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)and gene mutation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)in breast cancer so as to provide reference for prognosis of the cancer and evaluation of drug efficiency.Methods This study enrolled totally 96 breast cancer patients. Tumor specimens were resected.The gene expressions of TOP2A,HER2 and PTEN were analyzed using branched DNA-liquid-chip,and PI3K gene mutation was detected by xTAG-liquid-chip.Correlations between gene expressions and gene mutation were further explored by Spearman correlation analysis so as to clarify the relationship between TOP2A and HER2 signaling pathway gene.Results Co-expression of TOP2A and HER2 was strong,and TOP2A tended to be highly expressed in the presence of high expression of HER2 (P =0.01).The expression of PTEN was not significantly correlated with the expression of TOP2A,whereas the mutation of PI3K had a positive association with the high expression of TOP2A (P =0.004).Conclusion Anthracycline drug resistance factor TOP2A may be related to the critical factors of HER2 signaling pathway,suggesting that HER2 expression and PI3K mutation may be key factors in regulation of TOP2A expression,which would provide important evidence for chemotherapeutic resistance.

Objective To compare the value of (~99m) Tc-octreotide scintigraphy and planar X-ray mammography in the diagnosis of breast cancer. Methods A total of 32 patients with suspected breast cancer were enrolled into this study. All patients underwent (~99m) Tc-octreotide scintigraphy and planar X-ray mammography. The diagnostic efficiency of (~99m) Tc-octreotide scintigraphy and planar X-ray mammography were compared based on the post-surgery pathology. Results The sensitivity of (~99m) Tc-octreotide scintigraphy and planar X-ray mammography in the diagnosis of breast cancer was 91.67% and 66.67%, the specificity was 100% and 37.50%, the accuracy was 93.75% and 59.38%, respectively. Combining (~99m) Tc-octreotide scintigraphy with planar X-ray mammography, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predicting values and negative predicting values for breast cancer was 95.83%, 100%, 96.88%, 82.14% and 47.06%, respectively. Conclusion The diagnostic efficiency of (~99m) Tc-octreotide scintigraphy for breast cancer is superior to planar X-ray mammography. (~99m) Tc-octreotide scintigraphy combined with planar X-ray mammography, the diagnostic efficiency for breast cancer will be further improved.

Objective To evaluate the role of 131I SPECT/CT in post-surgical re-staging and recurrence risk stratification in patients with DTC and its impact on subsequent treatment strategy.Methods 131I-WBS and 131I SPECT/CT were performed at the same time 5 to 7 d after 131I treatment in 118 patients (33 males,85 females,average age 45 years) with DTC.Difference in the localization and qualitative diagnosis of 131I uptake lesions between 131I-WBS and 131I SPECT/CT were compared.Value of 131I SPECT/CT in the diagnosis of TNM staging,risk stratification and impact on the treatment strategy was evaluated.Paired χ2 test was used for data analysis.Results A total of 509 foci with 131I uptake were detected.131I-WBS found 449 foci with 131I uptake,354 of which (78.84％) were correctly diagnosed.131I SPECT/CT found 509 foci with 131I uptake,and 504(99.02％) were correctly diagnosed.The difference was statistically significant (χ2=21.51,P<0.01).131I-WBS changed the clinical staging in 13 cases with diagnostic accuracy of 5/13.131I SPECT/CT changed the clinical staging in 19 cases and with diagnostic accuracy of 19/19 (χ2=74.41,P<0.01).131I-WBS changed the risk stratification of 13 patients after operation and the accuracy was 5/13,the corresponding data were 22 and 100％(22/22) for 131I SPECT/CT (χ2=74.41,P<0.01).The treatment strategy was changed in 50 patients with 131I SPECT/CT.Conclusions Compared with 131I-WBS,131I SPECT/CT could provide more accurate positioning and qualitative information for 131I treatment and is more accurate in re-staging and risk stratification.

ABSTRACT:Objective To study the effects of weight and anteroposterior diameter-to-transverse diameter ratio on establishing a model of acute myocardial infarction (AMI)in rats without artificial ventilation and changes in left ventricular function after infarction.Methods Healthy SD rats were randomly divided into group A (200-250 g),group B (250 - 300 g),group C (> 300 g),and group D (control group).The left anterior descending (LAD)coronary artery was ligated to establish a model of myocardial infarction under spontaneous breathing condition immediately after thoracic lines were measured.And changes of electrocardiography were recorded after model establishment.At 2 and 4 weeks after AMI,we observed ventricular wall thickness and ventricular wall motion and measured the changes of cardiac function.Histomorphological changes and myocardial ultrastructure of the heart were observed under thoracotomy 2 weeks after operation.The above data were analyzed by SPSS13.0 statistics software.Results ① The first AMI rat model was established successfully after 30 times of experiments, and after 100 times the model’s success rate gradually stabilized at about 83%.② Group B and group C had a higher model success rate than group A (P <0.05),but group B and group C did not differ in modeling success rate (P >0.05).③ There was no association between the rate of rat thoracic line and modeling success rate (P >0.05).
④ Two weeks after thoracotomy,ischemic myocardial color was white,and ventricular wall motion decreased.HE staining revealed that cardiomyocytes disappeared and were replaced by fibrous tissues and collagen.Remnant cardiomyocytes were arranged disorderly and myofibers were fractured,with interstitial damage and hyperplasia of fibrous tissue.Visible muscle cells were sparse and dissolved,the mitochondria had darker staining,blurred cristae, and edema under electron microscopy. ⑤ Compared with group D, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after myocardial infarction,left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD)and left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVEDs) increased (P <0.05),but EF values and heart rate dropped (P <0.05).Conclusion By this method,a model of AMI in rats can be established successfully and the heart function is changed.Under the condition of non-artificial ventilation,the weight of rats is an important factor for establishing AMI model.However,we have not confirmed the effect of thoracic lines on establishing AMI model yet.

Objective To explore the differential expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) in Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and their potential use as biomarkers for BL diagnosis.Methods The different miRNAs in BL from reactive hyperplasia of lymph node cases were screened by miRNA chip.The potential targets of miRNAs were predicted using miRWALK.MAS3 program was used to determine the putative functions of potential miRNA target genes by annotation using Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses.Results A total of 46 miRNAs (36 upregulated and 21 downregulated) were dysregulated in BL compared with reactive hyperplasia of lymph node.Interestingly,members of the let-7 family (let-7f-1-3p) was downregulated in BL.The target genes of let-7f-1-3p were predicted,and the GO enrichment analysis revealed their functions were mainly related with multicellular organismal development and regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase Ⅱ promote.KEGG pathway analysis was also carried out among the predicted target genes,which showed that they were mainly involved in TGF-beta signaling pathway and related with chronic myeloid leukemia.Conclusions The set of differentially expressed miRNAs identified here expands the range of potential diagnostic markers for BL.

This article explores the possible influencing factor and regular pattern of temperature rise induced by photo-thermal effect of gold nanorods when irradiated with near infrared region (NIR) laser. We used transmission electron microscope and UV-Vis-NIR spectrometer to characterize gold nanorods, then used 808 nm NIR laser with different power to irradiate the gold nanorods in different conditions and measured the temperature of the above solution. The higher the concentration of gold nanorods, the faster the temperature rose and the bigger its amplitude was. When the concentration of gold nanorods was fixed, the relation between power of laser and amplitude of temperature rise was linear. Temperature rise was also related to the shape of container. It could be concluded that amplitude of temperature rise of gold nanorods reaction system was related with concentration of the particles, irradiated power and shape of the container, so that we could control the temperature easily by regulating the irradiated power size of NIR laser in the experiments.
