Objective To analyze the drug-resistance and distribution of nonferments bacteria infection in our hospital and provide the diagnosis and treatment evidence to doctor.Methods 241 nonferments bacteria strains had been separated from patients of Xinqiao Hospital from July 2006 to Jan 2008. Bacteria identify and drug-resistance test were performed by VITEK-Ⅱanalysis system. The drug-resistance result was determined by MIC with the standard of NCCLS.Results The separate rate in patients of neurosurgery, respiration, orthopaedics were 24.94、23.27 and 10.79 respectively. The main source of specimen are sputum. The drug resistance rate were Imipenem (16.9), Amikacin(29.3), Cefepime (33.9) and Cefazidime(39.1) in 241 nonferments bacteria strains. Conclusion The infection of nonferments bacteria must be recognized by doctors, and it would prompt us to use antibiotic properly.

To investigate the role played by 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in patients with Graves'ophthalmopathy(GO),and the association between 8-OHdG and the disease activity of GO.Serum levels of 8-OHdG were tested in 48 cases with GO and 30 cases with Graves' disease(GD) without ophthalmopathy.30 healthy subjects participated in this study as controls.8-OHdG was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Compared with the controls,the mean level of 8-OHdG in GO patients and GD patients was increased significantly [(2.98±1.33),(2.07±1.30) vs(0.72±0.93)ng/ml,P＜0.05].Mean 8-OHdG level in GO patients was markedly higher when compared to GD patients(P＜0.05).Pearson regression analysis showed that elevated levels of 8-OHdG were significantly correlated with the Clinical Activity Score of GO (r =0.54,P＜0.01).The serum level of 8-OHdG in GO patients was raised obviously,it implies that oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of GO,and the serum level of 8-OHdG might act as an activity index of GO.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the capabilities of nosocomial infection control in local general hospitals in handling public health emergencies,and to provide reliable data for future work.METHODS A random sampling questionnaire method was adopted to investigate how nosocomial infection control in local hospitals performed their functions and handled public health emergencies.RESULTS The 15 hospitals which were surveyed had all been equipped with computer network of directly reporting epidemic situations of infectious diseases.Four from 15 hospitals had full-time employees reporting epidemic situations,and 11 had part-time employees.Twelve hospitals established,according to standards,a department of infectious diseases or a department of pre-examination and sorting diagnosis.Seven hospitals did not have full-time staff of infection control till 2003.The rate of the staff's knowledge of nosocomial infection control was 73.7%.The medical wastes of the 15 hospitals were all disposed at the local medical waste disposal center.CONCLUSIONS Our city,in terms of nosocomial infection control,has acquired certain capabilities of handling public health emergencies.But the capabilities vary from hospital to hospital.Further improvement in some work is still needed.

Objective To evaluate the effect of ulinastatin pretreatment on endoplasmic reticulum stress during myocardial injury in the patients undergoing mitral valve replacement (MVR) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods One hundred patients of both sexes,aged 35-64 yr,weighing 40-80 kg,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ (New York Heart Association Ⅱ or Ⅲ),scheduled for elective MVR with CPB,were divided into ulinastatin pretreatment group (UP group,n=50) and normal saline control group (NS group,n =50) using a random number table.Ulinastatin 0.5× 104 U/kg was intravenously infused over 1 h before skin incision,and administration was repeated every 4 h until the end of operation in group UP,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in group NS.Immediately after opening the right atrium (T0),at 30 min after aortic clamping (T1) and while suturing the right atrium (T2),blood samples were collected from the radial artery for measurement of the concentrations of plasma creatine kinase-MB and cardiac troponin T by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Right auricle specimens were obtained after blood sampling at each time point for determination of the expression of glucose-regulated protein 78,CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein and c-Jun N-terminal kinase protein and mRNA (by real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot,respectively) and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes (by TUNEL).The apoptosis rate was calculated.Results Compared with group NS,the plasma concentrations of creatine kinase-MB and cardiac troponin T at T1 and T2 and apoptosis rate at T2 were significantly decreased,and the expression of glucose-regulated protein 78,CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein and c-Jun N-terminal kinase protein and mRNA was down-regulated at T1 and T2 in group UP (P＜0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which ulinastatin pretreatment inhibits apoptosis in cardiomyocytes and attenuates myocardial injury is related to decrease in endoplasmic reticulum stress in the patients undergoing MVR with CPB.

Objective To evaluate the effect of ulinastatin (UT1) on the expression of aquaporin 1 (AQP1) and AQP5 in rats with acute lung injury induced by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods Forty-eight clean-grade healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-250 g,were divided into 3 groups (n=16 each) using a random number table method:sham operation group (Sham group),CPB group and UTI group.UTI 200 000 U/kg was injected intravenously at 10 min prior to CPB in UTI group.The model of CPB was established in CPB and UTI groups.The equal volume of normal saline was intravenously injected at 10 min prior to puncture or at 10 min prior to CPB in Sham and CPB groups.Rats were sacrificed,and lung tissues were excised for determination of weight to dry weight ratio (W/D ratio),expression of AQP1 and AQP5 (by immunohistochemistry),expression of AQP1 and AQP5 protein and mRNA (by real-time polymerase chain reaction or Western blot) and for examination of morphological structure (with a light microscope) and ultrastructure of lung tissues (with an electron microscope).Injured alveolar rate (IAR) and rates of AQP1 and AQP5 positive cells were calculated.Results Compared with Sham group,W/D ratio and IAR were significantly increased,rates of AQP1 and AQP5 positive ceils were decreased,and the expression of AQP1 and AQP5 protein and mRNA was down-regulated in CPB and UTI groups (P＜0.05).Compared with CPB group,W/D ratio and IAR were significantly decreased,rates of AQP1 and AQP5 positive cells were increased,and the expression of AQP1 and AQP5 protein and mRNA was up-regulated in UTI group (P＜0.05).The injury to morphological structure and ultrastructure was significantly attenuated in UTI group when compared with CPB group.Conclusion The mechanism by which UTI pretreatment reduces CPB-induced acute lung injury is related to up-regulating the expression of AQP1 and AQP5 in rats.

Objective:To investigate the association of risky drinking and decision-making ability among off-spring of fathers with alcohol dependence(OFAD).Methods:A case-control study was conducted according to the cutoff of the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test(AUDIT)(delimited as 7).OFAD were divided into"risky drinking group"(n=29)and"non-risky drinking group"(n=43).The Iowa Gambling Task(IGT)was used to e-valuate the decision-making ability.Covariance analysis was used to compare differences of IGT between the two groups,and multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the association between risky drinking and decision making ability.Results:There was no significant difference in total scores of IGT between the risky drinking group and the non-risky drinking group(P＞0.05).Risky drinking group had less Selection 2 in block 5 of IGT[(3.8± 2.5)v.s.(5.7±3.1),P＜0.05]than non-risky drinking group.Selection 2 in block 5 was still associated with risky drinking after controlling the covariates(OR=0.72,95％CI:0.57～0.90,P＜0.05).Conclusion:This study indicates that risky drinking group in offspring of parents with alcohol dependence may have better decision-making ability.
