Journal of Third Military Medical University 1983;0(03):-
The Effects of hydrogen peroxide(H2o2) on the ultrastructure, cellular pea-meability barrier and 3H-TdR-DNA leakage of C. albicans were studied. Damage of the cell, especially leakage of cytoplasm were found under transmission electron microscope. Morphological changes and small hole like structures were also found under scanning electron microscope. Radioactivity assay of the leakage of 3H-TdR-DNA leakage of C. albicans further suggested that the 3H-TdR-DNA leakage of C. albicans was directly due to the damage of cellular permeability barrier. Negative correlation (r=+0.8392--0.9915)between the extent of 3H-TdR-DNA leakage and the number of surviving colony-forming units was found. This indicated that the damage of cellular permeability barrier and leakage of DNA of C. albicans caused by H2o2 was one of the most importent causes of cell killing.

OBJECTIVE To understand the distribution of pathogen in very-low-birth-weight or preterm infants septicemia in early-onset and late-onset and drug sensitivity.METHODS Bacterial isolates from inpatients of very-low-birth-weight or preterm infants septicemia over a period of 3 years were retrospectively analyzed,and classified as when septicemia was happened.RESULTS The positive rate of isolates was 43.2% in 970 samples of very-low-birth-weight or preterm infants septicemia.Most of the sepsis detected by blood culture was late-onset neonatal sepsis(58.6%).Pathogen of late-onset neonatal sepsis mostly was Gram-positive cocci,Staphylococcus were found to be the most common isolates(80.5%).In early-onset sepsis group,the isolates rates of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria were mostly in proportion,there were 52.4% and 47.6%,respeitively.The resistance rate of late-onset sepsis group was higher than that of early-onset one.CONCLUSIONS The key of curing infants septicemia is that we should master the distribution of pathogen of very-low-birth-weight or preterm infants septicemia in early-onset and late-onset and drug sensitivity.Antimicrobial therapy should be initiated under the guidance of anti-microbial sensitivity test,in order to avoid abuse of antimicrobial.

Objective To investigate the effect of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) on the healing of skin ulcers using Balb/c mice. Methods Wounds with a diameter 6 mm were created on each side of the backs of BalB/c mice ( n = 150) using a punch bioptome. The mice were assigned randomly into a control group ( wounds healed naturally), a laser group (wounds treated with a He-Ne laser for 10 min daily) and a CAP group (wounds treated with CAP for 10 min daily). Wound healing was evaluated on postoperative days (PODs) 4, 7, 10 and 14 in terms of percent wound closure. Ten mice per group were sacrificed on each of the evaluation days. Both wounds were removed and a histological examination was conducted. A scoring system was used to evaluate the wounds. The expression of vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) in the wounded tissue was detected by using immunohistochemical methods on POD 7. The results were quantified using an HPIAS-1000 system. Results Compared with the control group, the average percentage of wound healing was significantly greater in the CAP group on PODs 7 and 10. The average scores on the histological examination were significantly higher in the CAP group on PODs 7, 10 and 14. Compared with the other two groups, the expression of VEGF was up-regulated significantly in the CAP group.Conclusions CAP can positively affect the wound healing process. This might be related to the up-regulation of VEGF in the wounded tissues.

Objective To observe characters of sputum of patients with tracheotomy by heat and moisture exchanger(HEM)undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy(HBOT)in multi-person chamber.Methods In randomly block design,239 patients were selected and received HBOT using HEM combined with L-shape tube(group HEM,n=128)and by L-shape tube(group L,n=111)respectively.The characters and volume of sputum,times of sucking sputum and cases of sealing/extubation of tubes were assessed over first and tenth sessions of HBOT.Results The times of sucking and volume of sputum over first session of HBOT in the group HEM were more than those in group L.The sputum was changing from ropiness over first session to tenuity over tenth sesion(P<0.01).Cases with sealing/extubation of tubes in group HEM were more than those of group L(P<0.01).Conclusions It is helpful to humidify and discharge deposited sputum of patients over routine hyperbaric oxygen by HEM.And the case8 of sealing/extubation of tubes are also reduced.

Objective To characterize the skin physiology function of patients with ache and to facilitate its treatment. Methods Sixty patients with acne (20 males and 40 females) and 60 healthy human controls (20 males and 40 females) were included into this study. The average age of patients and controls was 23.4 years and 25.1 years, respectively. Sebumeter was used to detect the sebum secretion in the following areas: forehead, nose, right and left cheeks, Cutometer(R) MPA580 to measure the skin elasticity, and Scalar Moisture Checker to test the skin hydration on right and left cheeks. Results A significant increase was observed in the level of sebum secretion in the T-zones (199.98±58.21 μg/cm2 vs 117.55±63.16 μg/cm2, t=7.34, P<0.05) as well as in the cheeks(154.45±55.06 μg/cm2 vs 87.50±47.36 μg/cm2, t=7.14, P< 0.05) in the patients compared with the controls. However, the level of skin elasticity and hydration was of no significant difference between the patients and controls (0.7931±0.0755R vs 0.7882±0.0498R, 30.75%±3.87% vs 30.94%±2.91%, respectively, both P>0.05). Conclusion Facial sebum secretion is increased in patients with acne.

ObjectiveTo seek experimental evidence of epidermal barrier dysfunction in psoriasis,and to provide a basis for adjuvant therapy of psoriasis.MethodsPhysiometric methods were used to determine the value of sebum content,transepidermal water loss(TEWL) and water content of stratum corneum in 60 patients with psoriasis and 48 normal human controls.The ultrastructure of lamellar bodies was observed with transmission electron microscopy,and the expression of acid ceramidase in normal skin and psoriatic lesions was detected by using immunohistochemical techniques.ResultsCompared with the normal skin,TEWL value was increased(P < 0.01),but water content of stratum corneum decreased(P < 0.01 ) in psoriatic lesions,and sebum content was similar between normal skin and psoriatic lesions.As electron microscopy showed,lamellar bodies in keratinocytes were reduced in number with a disorganized arrangement and irregular size in psoriatic lesions.The expression of acid ceramidase also decreased in psoriatic epidermis.Conclusions The function of epidermal barrier in psoriasis is impaired,and to restore epidermal barrier function and enhance hydration may serve as an important adjuvant therapy of psoriasis.
