Objective:The purpose of this paper is to illustrate different diseases that cause this crazy-paving pattern and to correlate the thin-section CT findings with the histopathological findings. Methods: A retrospective review of the medical records of our radiological computed tomography database was performed from January 2010 until December 2012,searching for patients reported to have a crazy-paving pattern on a thin-section CT of the chest. In total, 83 patients with a crazy-paving pattern were retained and reviewed. Results:The crazy-paving pattern consists of interlobular septal and intralobular interstitial thickening superimposed on an area of ground-glass attenuation on thin-section CT scans. We identified 83 cases that presented with the crazy-paving pattern, inclould infection(bacterial infection n=6,viral infection n=16,fungal infection n=1,and mixed infection n=12); ARDS n=4; acute pulmonary oedema n=3; interstitial lung disease (UIP, NSIP) n=18; adenocarcinomas n=3; lymphangitis carcinomatosis n=3;lymphoma pulmonary infiltration n=2;radiation pneumonitis n=5;sarcoidosis n=1;alveolar proteinosis n=4;alveolar hemorrhage n=4; lipid pneumonia n=1. Conclusion: The crazy-paving pattern on thin-section CT is a non-specific signs, can be seen in infections, tumor, as well as some cryptogenetic diseases. Nevertheless, familiar with these common diseases, allows us to narrow the differential diagnosis, even prompted the diagnosis of certain diseases in the appropriate clinical setting.

Along with the application and development of the assisted reproductive technology in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer,the emergence of frozen embryos in the law,medicine,and ethics area are gradually increased.Two-child policy makes more older couples choose assisted reproductive technology,which will cause more disputes about frozen embryos.There is no unified conclusion of the legal status of human embryos,and there exists three main views of embryos namely property,person and intermediate state.Defined the legal status of frozen embryos as ethical substance,this paper analyzed the main position and possible legal and ethical issues involved in the disposal of frozen embryos through three typical cases.
7.Difference in efficacy between antibiotic lock technique and intramuscular injec- tion for the treatment central venous catheter-related infection in rabbit model
Chinese Journal of Infection Control 2017;16(10):920-924
Objective To compare the efficacy of antibiotic lock technique (ALT)and systemic medication on the treatment of central venous catheter-related infection(CRI).Methods Catheters which had been formed bacterial biofilm in vitro were implanted into the central venous of rabbits,and rabbits were randomly divided into two groups,catheter group received the injection of mixture of antibiotics and heparin,systemic group received intra-muscular injection of antibiotics and intraductal injection of heparin solution.Medicine was given continuously for 10 days,catheter blood and peripheral venous blood were taken every day before replacing the medicine,bacterial colo-ny counts were detected.All rabbits stopped using antibiotics on day 11,then removed catheters after a 5-day ob-servation of catheterization.Before extubation,the catheter blood and peripheral blood were collected to perform bacterial colony counting and antimicrobial susceptibility testing,and removed catheters were performed catheter tip bacterial culture and observation of biofilm.Results During the medication period,the average bacterial counts of catheter blood in catheter group at different time were all lower than systemic group,difference was statistically sig-nificant(all P < 0.05);from the 4th day,the catheter group gradually appeared positive specimens of peripheral blood culture(a total of 6 cases),and systemic group appeared positive specimens on the second day(a total of 31 ca-ses).During medicine withdrawal period,bacterial counts of catheter blood in two groups on the day of extubation were both higher than those on the day of medicine withdrawal,differences were both statistically significant(both P<0.05).On the day of medicine withdrawl,2 cases in catheter group and 8 cases in systemic group were isolated bacteria from peripheral blood;there was no new positive specimens in catheter group on the day of extubation,but there was 1 new positive specimen in systemic group.Catheter tip bacterial count in systemic group was higher than catheter group ([8.02±0.05]log10 CFU/mL vs [3.12±0.14]log10 CFU/mL,t =26.82,P <0.05).33.33% of specimens in catheter group could be observed scattered biofilm,while all specimens of systemtic group were cov-ered by biofilm.Bacterial culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of catheter blood and peripheral blood be-fore extubation revealed that diameter of the zone of inhibition in catheter group ranged 19-20 mm,in systemic group ranged 15 - 16 mm,bacteria from two groups were all sensitive to commonly used antimicrobial agents. Conclusion In the treatment of central venous CRI,the effect of ALT on local clearance of bacteria is better than that of systemic administration,and it can significantly reduce systemic infection.However,if bacterial biofilm in the catheter is not completely cleared,infection can still relapse after medicine withdrawal.Therefore,accurate dos-age and medication time is worthy of further quantitative study.

Objective To discuss feasibility and therapeutic effect of the interventional management through biliary tract drainage with percutaneous transhepatic puncture technique for biliary tract stricture after orthotopic liver transplantation. Methods A retrospective review of the clinical and imaging materials of 292 postoperative orthotopic liver transplantation cases was made. Of these 292 cases, 30 patients suffered from biliary tract complications and treated with billiary balloon dilatation, bile drainage and biliary stenting techniques. Results After biliary balloon dilatation, 3 cases of biliary tract strictures and leaks, 3 cases of simple biliary anastomosis site strictures and 7 out of the 8 cases of multiple biliary tract strictures were cured. In one of the multiple biliary tract stricture patients, a hepatic hematoma after biliary balloon dilatation was found and a second liver transplantation was done. In the 14 cases of multiple biliary tract strictures accompanied with biliary sludge, balloon dilatation technique was repeatedly performed. In 12 of the 14 cases, the strictures were improved remarkably and jaundice was subsided; In one of 14 cases, biliary tract stenting procedure was performed, but liver re-transplatation was carried out because of stent obstruction by much sludge. In the remaining 1 of the 14 cases, because there was no improvement of the strictures and relief of jaundice was revealed after the repeated procedures, liver re-transplantation was finally done In 2 cases of strictures at the opening segment of the T tube, the procedure of percutaneous transhepatic puncture for bile drainage was managed. After the procedure, the strictures were alleviated and the jaundice relieved. Conclusion The interventional managements through percutaneous transhepatic puncture techniques were effective, convenient and minimally invasive for treating biliary tract strictures after orthotopic liver transplantation.

Objective To observe morphological characteristics and activity distribution of T. asahii biofilm. Methods The morphological characteristics of T. asahii biofilm were observed under an inverted microscope and scanning electron microscope, and activity was measured and quantitatively analyzed by 2,3-bis (2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-5-[(phenylamino) carbonyl]-2H-tetrazo-lium hydroxide (XTT) assay and viable count, respectively. Spatial distribution of dead/vital cells, activity and thickness of biofilm at different layers were assessed under a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) following double staining with FDA/PI. Results T. asahii formed a biofilm in vitro on the surface of polystyrene materials. Under a scanning microscope, the biofilm displayed a complex three-dimensional structure which composed of spores, pseudohy-pha and true hypha. As time prolonged, the activity and quantity of biofilm increased. The results of XTT assay were correlated with those of viable count (r = 0.94, P < 0.01). The activity was of no obvious difference between different layers of the biofilm. The thickness of biofilm varied from 14.3 μm to 31 μm. Conclusions The structure of T. asahii biofilm in vitro is more complex than that of planktonic T. asahii. The activity is of no significant difference between different layers of T. asahii biofilm.
