Objective To investigate the clinic and microbial characteristic of fever along with agranulocy-tosis in patients with malignant hematopathy. Methods Retrospective study was carried out on patients with malig-nant hematopathy who developed agranulocytosis during hospitalization. Results A total of 512 febrile events occurred. Duration of agranulocytosis,severe agranulocytosis,poor physical condition,previous exposure to broad-spectium antibiotics and central venous catheterization were correlated with higher incidence of febrile event. There are 328 cases(64.06%)with definite infected sites and 184 cases(35.94%)with fever of unknown origin(FUO). Gram-negative bacterium was most common(64.35%),followed by Gram-positive bacterium(23.61%)and fungus (12.04%). 57 cases resistant bacteria were detected. Mortality incidence resulting from pulmonary infection was higher than that from FUO(P < 0.005). No significance was found between pulmonary infection and blood stream infection(P>0.25)or between blood stream infection and FUO(P>0.1). Conclusions Many factors were corre-lated with incidence of fever along with agranulocytosis in patients with malignant hematopathy. Gram-negative bacte-rium was most common pathogenic microorganism,followed by Gram-positive bacterium,all of which manifested high drug resistance rate. Understanding the epidemiological trend will be beneficial for clinic treatment.

Objective To explore the regulative or mediating effect of perceived social support on the relationship between alexithymia and negative psychology of nurses.Methods A total of 503 nurses were surveyed by Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 ( TAS-20),Perceived Social Support Scale ( PSSS ) and Genera Health Questionnaire-20 (GHQ-20).Results The scores of alexithymia,perceived social support and negative psychology of nurses were(54.82 ± 8.43 ),( 61.9 ± 9.78 ) and ( 3.70 ± 2.61 ),respectively.Alexithymia was significant positive correlated with negative psychology ( r =0.49,P ＜ 0.01 ),perceived social support was significant negative correlated with negative psychology ( r =-0.32,P＜ 0.01 ),alexithymia was significant negative correlated with perceived social support( r=-0.36,P＜0.01 ).In the test of Perceived social support's regulative effect between alexithymia and negative psychology,R12 was 0.259 and R22 was 0.257,R22 did not significantly improve,and in the second layer,t=-0.538,P＞ 0.05.The model fit indexes of perceived social support's partial mediating effect on the relationship between alexithymia and negative psychology were x2/df =1.645,RMSEA =0.036,CFI =0.995,IFI =0.995,RFI =0.960,TLI =0.984,NFI =0.987,GFI =0.993,AGFI =0.973.The model was proved well.Conclusion Perceived social support partially mediates the relationship between alexithymia and negative psychology,instand of regulating it.

Objective To investigate the association of T help (Th) lymphocyte and heart rate variability (HRV) in congestive heart failure (CHF) patients. Methods Ninety-six patients with CHF and thirty healthy persons were enrolled in the study. Time-domain HRV analysis was performed based on 24 hour Holter Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring. Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) was used as markers for the differentiation of Th1 subsets and interleukin-10 (IL-10) for the Th2 subsets. IFN-γand IL-10 in CD4 + T lymphocytes were quantified by 3-color flow cytometry. Results The frequency of IL-10-Producing T Cells in the CHF group was significantly lower than those in the healthy control ( ( 16.4 ± 5.8 ) % vs. ( 26.8 ± 3.7 ) %, t = 9. 243, P ＜ 0. 001 ). The frequency of IFN-γ in the CHF group ( ( 18.4 ± 7.3 )% ) was significantly lower than that in the healthy controls ( (7.3 ±4.6) % ,t =7. 917, P ＜ 0. 001 ). The following index of HRV in the CHF groups were all significantly lower than those in the healthy controls: (98. 6 ± 21.3) ms vs. ( 145. 1 ± 42. 6) ms for SDNN, (83. 9 ± 22.4) ms vs.(136.5 ±39.6)ms for SDANN, (40.6 ± 14.5) ms vs. (55.8 ± 17.9) ms for SDNNI, (20. 7 ± 12.9) ms vs.(29.1 ± 12.6) ms for RMSSD, (5.6 ± 3.7 ) % vs. ( 11.8 ± 4.4) % for PNN50 ( Ps ＜ 0.05 ). In CHF patients, the frequency of IL-10 were positively associated with SDNN, SDANN, SDNNI, RMSSD and PNN50 ( r = 0. 49,0. 57,0. 58,0.47 and 0. 52 ,respectively,Ps ＜ 0.01 ). In the CHF patients, the frequency of IFN-γand IFN-γ/IL-10 ratio were negatively associated with SDNN ,SDANN ,SDNNI, RMSSD and PNN50 ( r = - 0. 49, - 0. 54, - 0. 57, - 0.52,- 0.53, - 0. 52, - 0.64, - 0.57, - 0. 58, - 0. 67, Ps ＜ 0. 01 ). Conclusions Autonomic nervous system is involved in the regulation of the balance of Th1/Th2 in patients with CHF. Sympathetic nerve system enhances the effect of Th1 ,whereas parasympathetic nervous system enhances the effect of Th2.

Two hundred women with singleton pregnancy at full term undergoing cesarean section with combined spinal-epidural anesthesia were randomly assigned into 2 groups (n=100 in each group). During anesthesia the polyvinyl chloride epidural catheter was used in control group and the wire-reinforced epidural catheter was used in study group.The results showed that the number of patients in whom blood or blood-tinted fluid was withdrawn from epidural catheter was significantly lower in study group than that in control group.The domestic wire-reinforced epidural catheter can reduce the incidence of blood vessel injury induced by insertion of epidural catheter.

Objective To assess the MRI features of cerebrum in idiopathic hypoparathyroidism (IHP). Methods MR images of 27 IHP patients were analyzed retrospectively emphasized on the location, appearance and signal intensity of the lesions. Results MRI showed symmetric abnormal signals in basal ganglia in 27 patients, in thalami and dentate nucleus in 21 patients, and in corona radiata-centrum ovale in 9 patients. All the lesions were hyperintensity on T1WI. Local hypointensity in basal ganglia was found in 4 patients, while hyperintensity or slight hyperintensity on both T2WI and T2-FLAIR were found in 26 patients, and slight hyperintensity with hypointensity on both T2WI and T2-FLAIR in 1 patient. Conclusion MRI of IHP has some features. Symmetric high signals on both T1WI and T2WI in basal ganglia, thalami and dentate nucleus have important diagnostic value for IHP.

Objective To evaluate the effects of propofol on apoptosis in the hippocampal neurons of fetal rats in vitro.Methods The isolated hippocampal neurons were seeded into 96-well plates or 24-well plates at a density of 5 × 104 cells/ml.The cells were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =18 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),in tralipid group (group Ⅰ) and propofol 1,10,100 μmol/L groups (P1-3 groups).In group Ⅰ,10％ intralipid was added to the culture media until the final concentration reached 100 μmol/L.In groups P1-3,propofol was added to the culture media until the final concentration reached 1,10 and 100 μmol/L,respectively,and the cells were then incubated for 3 h.The cell apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry.The expression of Bcl-2 mRNA and caspase-3 mRNA was detected by semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).The expression of Bcl-2 and actived-caspase-3 protein was determined by Western blot analysis.The apoptosis rate was calculated.Results Compared with group C,the apoptosis rate was significantly increased,the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA and protein was down-regulated,and the expression of caspase-3 mRNA and actived-caspase-3 protein was up-regulated in P1-3 groups (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the parameters mentioned above between group Ⅰ and group C (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Propofol induces apoptosis in isolated hippocampal neurons by inhibiting Bcl-2 expression and enhancing caspase-3 activity in fetal rats.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of computer-aided electromagnetic imaging navigation in nasal endoscopic surgery.Methods Twenty-two cases of nasal endoscopic surgery with intraoperative imaging navigation were retrospectively reviewed,including 16 cases of sinusitis with or without polyp;5 cases of nasal inverting papilloma; 1 case of maxillary capillary hemangioma.All cases were operated with computer-aided electromagentic imaging navigation and nasal endoscope.Results The preoperative preparing time would take 4-10 minutes.In 22 cases,the localization accuracy between 3-D image landmarks of navigation system and actual anatomical landmarks was less than 1 mm.The optic nerve and other anatomical landmarks could be orientated accurately in intraoperative procedures.No complication occurred.Conclusions Nasal endoscope combined with computer-aided electromagnetic imaging navigation provides accurate anatomical localization of nasal cavity,sinuses and anterior skull base.It could improve the effectiveness and decrease surgical complications,especially in complicated cases.
