Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2016;39(4):303-305
Objective To study the clinical effect of sequential therapy by intravenous fat emulsion and hemoperfusion in patients with severe organophosphorus pesticide poisoning. Methods Seventy-two patients with severe organophosphorus pesticide poisoning were selected, and the patients were divided into sequential therapy group (36 cases) and conventional therapy group (36 cases) by random digits table method. All the patients were given conventional therapy including gastrolavage, purgation, fluid infusion, atropine, pralidoxime chloride, anti- infection, breath support and hemoperfusion. The patients in sequential therapy group were given intravenous fat emulsion before hemoperfusion. The clinical effect was compared between 2 groups. Results There were no statistical differences in the serum cholinesterase activity on admission and in the first day after treatment between 2 groups (P>0.05). The serum cholinesterase activities in the second, third and seventh day after treatment in sequential therapy group were significantly higher than those in conventional therapy group: (456.3 ± 45.6) U/L vs. (391.3 ± 39.8) U/L, (862.3 ± 96.2) U/L vs. (614.7 ± 78.5) U/L and (1950.9 ± 366.7) U/L vs. (1543.6 ± 285.9) U/L, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The total doses of atropine applied and length of stay in sequential therapy group were significantly less than those in conventional therapy group: (85.4 ± 36.2) mg vs. (104.7 ± 45.3) mg and (10.5 ± 4.2) d vs. (13.6 ± 6.2) d, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The recovery rate in sequential therapy group was significantly higher than that in conventional therapy group:97.2%(36/36) vs. 80.6%(29/36), and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusions Sequential therapy by intravenous fat emulsion and hemoperfusion can improve the serum cholinesterase activity, and decrease the total dose of atropine in patients with severe organophosphate pesticide poisoning.

Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2001;28(1):118-120
The radioassay of glutamic decarboxylase (GAD) was modified by taking NaOH as trapped agent instead of phenylethylamine. The results showed that the coefficient of variation (CV) within same sample was 9.6 % and the radioactivity remains stable after 72 hours if use NaOH as trap agent. It is significantly stable than use phenylethylamine as trap agent, which the CV was 31.9 % and the radioactivity decreased 47% within the first hour and decreased to background after 6 hours. The reabsorption experiment shows over 80 % of 14CO2 can be reabsorption by NaOH within 6 hours. It is suggested that NaOH is a much better trap agent than phenylethylamine and the sensitivity can increase 1.66 folds. Using this method the GAD activity in 0.39~ 17.8 rng of brain tissue can be measured and it is success in determine the GAD activity both in rat brain tissue and cultured neurons.

Objective To investigate the antibiotic resistance, virulence genes, and sequence types of Enterococcus faecium ( E. faecium) strains isolated from children under 3 years old in Sui county, Henan province. Methods Kirby-Bauer antibiotic testing was performed to analyze the antibiotic sensitivi-ties of E. faecium strains to 15 common antibiotics. PCR analysis was used to detect the virulence genes car-ried by the E. faecium strains. Multilocus sequence typing ( MLST) was performed for the typing of E. faeci-um strains. Results Forty-seven E. faecium strains were isolated from 120 stool samples collected from chil-dren under 3 years old in Sui county, Henan province, of which 95. 7% were antibiotic-resistant strains. Most of the isolated E. faecium strains were resistant to rifampicin, accounting for 91. 5% (43/47) of all isolates, followed by those resistant to erythromycin and tetracycline, which accounted for 68. 1% (32/47). Moreover, high resistance rates to those antibiotics commonly used in clinical treatments of E. faecium infec-tion including β-lactam and aminoglycosides antibiotics were observed. Those strains resistant to more than three kinds of antibiotics belonged to the same clonal complex including 12 strains of clonal complex 17 ( CC17) harboring the virulence gene of hyl. All of the isolated E. faecium strains were susceptible to vanco-mycin, linezolid, chloromycetin and nitrofurantoin. Conclusion The E. faecium strains isolated from chil-dren under 3 years old in Sui county, Henan province were multi-antibiotic resistant. There were drug-resist-ance strains belonging to the CC17 and carrying the virulence gene of hyl.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of two health education models on the psychology and nutrition of patients waiting for cadaveric renal transplantation.Methods A total of 125 patients waiting for cadaveric renal transplantations were involved in our study.They were diagnosed with chronic renal failure in our hospital during September 1, 2009 to August 30, 2010.The patients were randomly divided into control group (n = 62) and observational group(n = 63).Patients in the control group received traditional health education with routine preoperative education during hospitalization.In the observational group, full-time nurses assessed the nutrition status of each patient and monitored the data. The observational patients were followed up and were given dietary guidance and knowledge of transplantation.Various kinds of education formats were adopted in observational group to provide communication opportunities between patients and surgeons in charge as well as patients who underwent transplantation.Psychological testings of patients in both groups were tested by self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) before and after the health education.Triceps skinfold thickness (TSF), mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC) and biochemistry index were also tested.Psychological and nutritional status of patients in the two groups was compared.ResultsThere were no significant differences in scores of the SAS, SDS, TSF, Hb, and albumin (Alb) between the two groups (all P>0.05) before health education.After health education, SAS and SDS in observational group were lower than those in the control group (40.02 ±9.05 vs 47.05 ± 10.32,42.70 ± 10.01 vs 50.83 ± 10.12; both P<0.01).Both TSF and Hb were elevated after education (P < 0.001 or 0.05).Alb was significantly elevated in the observational group [(35.67 ±6.19)g/L vs (37.48 ±5.09)g/L, P <0.01].ConclusionComprehensive and various health education methods can significantly alleviate mental stress and improve nutrition of the patients waiting for kidney transplantation, which is helpful for patients facing disease positively and having a better quality of

Objective Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common complication of cardiac surgery, which seriously affects the prognosis of the patient.This study aimed to explore the risk factors for early POCD in patients undergoing cardiac valve surgery and the correlation between early POCD and the serum S100B protein level.Methods Eighty patients underwent mitral valve replacement surgery in combination with tricuspid plasty.At 1 day before and 5 days after surgery, we assessed the cognitive function of the patients and divided them into a POCD and a non-POCD group.We obtained such data as the age, sex, education, New EuroSCORE Ⅱ, and preoperative NYHA cardiac function grades and left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) of the patients, collected the venous blood to determine serum S100B protein concentration by ELISA, and analyzed the independent risk factors of early POCD using single-factor and binary logistic regression analyses.Results POCD was found in 20 (25%) of the patients, , Logistic regression analysis showed the independent risk factors for early POCD to be hyperglycemia (OR=6.038, 95% CI: 1.202-30.337), operation time (OR=6.423, 95% CI: 1.276-32.332), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST, 2 times higher than normal) (OR=12.878, 95% CI: 2.289-72.445).The serum S100B protein concentrations in the POCD group were (1.9±0.3) μg/L and (1.7±0.4) μg/L at 48 and 72 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass, significantly lower than (2.4±0.4) μg/L and (2.1±0.3) μg/L at 30 minutes and 24 hours (P<0.05), and so was it in the non-POCD group at 72 than at 48 hours postoperatively ([1.4±0.4]) vs [1.5±0.4] μg/L, P<0.05).Conclusion Long operation time, perioperative hyperglycemia and high AST are independent predictors and the serum S100B protein level is a significant marker of early POCD.
