Objective To find out about the current situation of mental health institutions in Guangdong. Methods An investigation via self-made questionnaires was made on the current situation of 62 mental health institutions in the province and a comparison was made of 22 mental hospitals between now and four years ago. Results Throughout the province, there were 9901 psychiatric beds, 1236 psychiatric doctors and 1909 psychiatric nurses, averaging respectively 1.16 beds, 0.15 doctors and 0.22 nurses per 10 thousand people. The bed utilization ratio was mostly 82.00% and only 12.00% of the mental health institutions adopted open management. A comparison of the 22 mental hospitals between now and 4 years ago showed that the numbers of hospital beds, doctors, doctors with associate senior professional tides and above, ECG machines, computers, hospital total income per year, and monthly charges for hospitalization had increased while the area of workplaces, the bed utilization ratio, the average number of daily outpatient visits, the average number of daily outpatient psychological consultations, and equipment other than ECG machines and computers remained unchanged and government funding had decreased. Couclusion The major problems with the mental health institutions in the province are shortage and lack of balance in the allocation of mental health resources, backwardness in the modes of management, difficulty in internal development, and reduction of government input.

Objective To search specific biomarkers of pathogenic bacteria in patients with sepsis so as to guide early using rationally antibiotic treatment.Methods Prospective survey of 147 patients with sepsis in ICU was carried out from Jan 2012 to Mar 2015.When patients blood culture was positive, clinical data including age, gender, vital signs, blood and, urine routine examination, DIC, blood biochemistry, c-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), microbial detection, etc were recorded.Cultured blood samples were from central venous catheter and peripheral vessel.ELISA method was employed to detect soluble toll-like receptor 2 ( sTLR2 ) and interleukin-8 ( IL-8 ) , and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ( APACHEⅡ score ) was calculated.The chi-square test and analysis of variance were performed where necessary.Receiver operating characteristic ( ROC ) curves were used to calculate cut-points ( CP ) and area under the curve ( AUC) .Results According to the results of blood culture, patients were divided into three groups:GP group [ gram-positive bacteria ( G+) group];GN group [ gram-negative bacteria ( G-) group];FG group ( fungi group) .There were no significantly statistical differences in age, APACHEⅡ score, vital signs and markers of inflammation among three groups (P>0.05).Gram negative pathogenic bacterium was the most common microbe.Compared with GN group, the level of sTLR2 in the GP group was obviously higher ( P=0.000); but there was no significant difference in sTLR2 level between GP group and FG group (P=0.187). The amount of (1, 3) -beta glucan in the FG group was significantly higher than that in the GP group ( P=0.000).The sTLR2 level in FG group was obviously higher than that in the GN group (P=0.000).There were no significantly statistical differences in PCT, CRP and IL-8 among the three groups (P>0.05).For the diagnosis of gram negative bacteria infection, sTLR2 area under the curve was 0.768, and the sensitivity and specificity were 88.90%and 59.60%, respectively and the best cut-off point was 8.083 pg/mL.Namely, the diagnosis of gram negative bacteria infection was less likely, when level of sTLR2 was higher than 8.083 pg/mL.The markers of PCT, CRP, (1, 3) -beta glucan and IL-8 were less valuable for the diagnosis of Gram negative bacteria infection because the area under the curve was less than 0.5.Conclusions The combination of inflammatory indicators such as sTLR2 and (1, 3) -beta glucan etc, can imply the kind of pathogenic microorganisms partly.
