Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of nosocomial infections in senile inpatients(≥75 years old) and to propose the control strategy according to the analysis. Methods A total of 2675 senile inpatients(≥75 years old) from 2007 to 2008 were prospectively evaluated and retrospectively reviewed. The infection incidence rate, infection fatality rate, average length of stay in hospitals, location of infections, main pathogenic bacteria and common protopathy were analyzed. Results Among 2675 senile inpatients, 222 senile inpatients suffered from nosocomial infection. Among all age groups in this hospital during the same period, the infection incidence rate and the infection fatality rate were higher in the senile group than in the general group(8.3% vs. 1.9%, 0.8% vs. 0.1%,both P<0.01). The average length of stay in our hospital was 54.0 days. The lower respiratory tract infections were most common, and the urinary system infections, and the blood infections. Gram-negative bacteria was the major source of nosocomial infection(47.0%, 110/234), while infection rate of Gram-positive bacteria was 32.9% (77/234) and fungus was 20.1% (47/234). The cerebral vascular disease was the most common protopathy, then malignant tumor was in 45 cases (20.3%), kidney disease was in 31 cases(14.0%), cardiac disease was in 29 cases(13.1%) and respiratory disease was in 21 cases(9.5%). Conclusions There are higher infection incidence rate, higher infection fatality rates,longer length of stay in hospitals in senile inpatients(≥75 years old). The lower respiratory tract infections were most common and Gram-negative bacteria was the major source of nosocomial infection. We should adopt active management to control the nosocomial infections.

Objective:To study methods for inducing CD34+ cells of human bone marrow to differentiate into T cells in vitro to provide theory and method basics for the investigation of activity of T cells derived from psoriatic bone marrow CD34+ cells and establish a technological platform to investigate T lymphopoiesis activity of hematopoietic cells.Methods:Bone marrow CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells were isolated by immunomagnetic cell selection and induced differentiate into T cells in the bone in the marrow and thymic stromal microenvironment.Immunfluorescence dying method and flow cytometry analysis were performed to detect CD1-CD3+ cells,CD3+CD4+CD8-cells and CD3+CD4-CD8+ cells dynamically.Results:In the first week,the non-adhension cells were composed mostly of immature CD1+CD3-cells and CD1+CD3+ cells and small proportion of mature CD1-CD3+ cells.In the following analysis,the proportion of immature cells rapidly decreased and CD1-CD3+ cells increased.After 1 week culture,CD4+CD8+ double positive T cells and a small population CD4+CD8-and CD4-CD8+ could be detected among the CD3+ cells.In the following culture,the proportion of CD4+CD8+ double positive T cells decreased significantly and single positive T cells increased gradually.However,small proportion of mature T cells could be detected in the early stage and cann't be found after 4 weeks in the culture system without thymic stromal cells.Conclusion:Mature single positive T cells can develop from CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells in the bone marrow and thymic stromal microenvironment and the thymic stromal cells are vital for T lymphopoiesis.
10.Inorganic Arsenics Have Different Actions in the Induction of DNA Strand Breaks in Primary Cultured Human Skin Fibroblasts
Journal of Environment and Health 1989;0(06):-
Objective To investigate the action of inorganic arsenic in the induction of DNA strand breaks in primary cultured human skin fibroblasts. Methods Sodium arsenate and sodium arsenite were used as test inorganic arsenics. DNA strand breaks were assessed by single cell gel electrophoresis assay (SCGE). Results Arsenate at 1~10 ?mol/L dose_dependently induced DNA strand breaks in cells. Arsenate at lower concentrations induced mainly degree I DNA strand breaks, while the proportion of cells with degree Ⅱ DNA strand breaks increased to 50% when treated with 10?mol/L arsenate,but no cells with degree ⅢDNA strand breaks were observed.Cells treated with 1?mol/L arsenite showed no significant increase in DNA strand breaks. At the concentration of 10?mol/L, however, arsenite induced DNA strand breaks with different degrees, and the apoptotic type DNA strand breaks were the major type. Conclusion Sodium arsenate mainly induced general type DNA strand breaks and sodium arsenite induced apoptotic type,beside general type of DNA strand breaks in primary cultured human skin fibroblasts. This could be explained by their different reaction modes with DNA, and further studies were needed.
