Objective: The objective of this study is to understand the construction of laboratory testing capacity of the Chinese Disease Control and Prevention institutions at all levels and to expound the problems and puts forward the related suggestions and countermeasures which can provide the basis for scientific and corresponding improvement of laboratory construction.Methods: The whole procedures were completed through descriptive epidemiological studies using SAS 9.2 Software and Excel 2010 for conducting statistical and trend analyses.Results: There is an increasing trend in the number and proportion of inspections in the disease control institutions at all levels in China.The number of disease control and prevention institutions` special testing laboratories increased significantly in 2012 and then the growth rate undergone a slow-down.The owning rate of equipped laboratory appliance rapidly rose in 2011 and started to level off after that.The average number of equipment in eastern region is greater than that drawn in the central and western regions.According to rate of compliance with the standard of basic laboratory projects, there is a trend in the provincial, district and county level disease control and prevention institutions where the eastern region comes first, followed by the central and then the western region closes the line.However, in general, this rate of those provincial level institutions show a state that the central region holds the highest rate, the eastern region comes second, and the western last.Conclusions: The qualities of health inspection personnel still need to be further improved in disease control and prevention institutions at all levels in the country.In the aspect of laboratory equipment possession rate, the provincial-level CDCs have greater and absolute advantage than the county-level and district level institutions.The testing projects of CDCs in the central and eastern regions of China have a relatively good level, while those tracked in the western region are relatively weak.In view of this, China should strengthen the support to western region in terms of human resource, equipment and funding.The provincial-level disease control and prevention institutions` laboratory testing and diagnosis projects are the best in balance and fairness.Improving the testing capacity is an effective approach to promote the development of disease control and prevention.Hence, the state should pay much attention to the laboratory construction works and management strategies and flows.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and patterns of lymph node metastasis in lung cancer and to provide evidence for determining the range of lymph node dissection.Methods One hundred and eighteen patients with lung cancer received complete resection combined with systematic lymph node dissection according to the mapping system developed by Naruke.Results A total of 835 lymph nodes were dissected from 118 lung cancer patients.The positive ratios of N1 and N2 were 15.6% and 17.4% respectively.Fifteen patients were found with skipping N2 which were located in 2,4,5,6 and 7 lymph node groups respectively.There was no significant relationship between the size of primary tumor and lymph node metastasis.Small cell lung cancer showed the highest risk of lymph node metastasis.The metastatic rate of lymph node in adenocarcinoma was markedly higher than that of squamous cell carcinoma.Skipping mediastinal lymphatic metastasis was found more frequently in lower lobar tumors than that in upper lobar ones.Conclusion Lymph node metastasis of lung cancer may occur in multiple groups and regions,even in a skipping pattern.Systematic lymph node dissection may be routinely performed in pulmonary resection for lung cancer.

Objective To investigate the role of AcrAB-TolC efflux pump in fluoroquinolones resistance by Shigella. spp and to explore the significance of AcrAB-TolC efflux pump on mutation of acrR, soxS and marOR as well as on drug re?sistence. Methods Drug resistant bacteria were selected by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test. After addition of efflux pump inhibitor carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), change of minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC)s of nilidixic acid, Levofloxacin, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin and Norfloxacin were examined. The DNA binding region of acrA, acrB, soxS, acrR and marOR gene in these mutants were amplified by PCR and sequenced. Results Among the 159 clinical isolates of Shigella,11 strains are resistant to fluoroquinolone. After the addition of CCCP, MICs of 2 fluoroquinolone resistant strains decreased; the MICs of 7 fluoroquinolone resistant strains did not change; MICs of 2 fluoroquinolone resistant strains in?creased. The corresponding nucleotides C, A, T, T on the 36th to 39th of marOR gene were missing, showing by sequencing, in fluoroquinolone resistent strains which might be regulated by the efflux pump gene AcrAB-TolC. Conclusion Efflux pump inhibitor could restrain the activity of efflux partially. The mutations of marOR might play an important role in fluoroquino?lone resistent by shigella.

Objective To evaluate the value of urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) to early diagnose acute kidney injury(AKI) of critically ill children in PICU.Methods Eighty critically ill children at PICU of Children's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University were enrolled in this study from April to June 2013.They were continuously observed for 72 hours.According to pediatric RIFLE criteria for diagnosis of AKI,patients were divided into AKI group (15 cases) or non-AKI group (65 cases).Additionally,according to sepsis diagnostic criteria,patients were divided into sepsis group (31 cases) or non-sepsis group (49 cases).The levels of serum creatinine and uNGAL were measured within 6th hour,24th hour,48th hour,72th hour after admitted to PICU.The differences of uNGAL levels between AKI and non-AKI groups,sepsis without AKI and non-sepsis non-AKI groups,sepsis merged AKI and sepsis without AKI groups were analysed.The sensitivity and specificity of uNGAL and serum creatinine for diagnosis of AKI at 48th hour were evaluated by ROC curve.Results Thirteen cases of eighty children developed to AKI after admitted to PICU.(1)The uNGAL levels [M(QR),ng/ml] in AKI group within 6th hour,at 24th hour,48th hour,72th hour were 863.00 (696.00),700.50 (580.00),365.50 (285.00),289.50 (319.30),respectively,which were significantly higher than those in non-AKI group [20.00 (106.00),20.00 (85.30),20.00(101.00),20.00(36.00)] (P ＜0.01).(2)The uNGAL levels in new developed group were much higher than those in non-AKI group at each time point.The comparision of serum creatinine at 48th hour was statistic difference.(3)The uNGAL levels rised at early stage in sepsis without AKI group and down to normal gradually after 48th hour.(4)The uNGAL levels continued increasing in sepsis merged AKI group,and had significant differences comparing with sepsis without AKI group(P ＜ 0.01).(5) The areas under ROC curve of uNGAL and serum creatinine at 48th hour were 0.902(95％ CI:0.801 ～ 1.004) and 0.801 (95％ CI:0.768 ～ 0.981),respectively.Conclusion The level of uNGAL has earlier increase for 24 to 48 hours than that of serum creatinine in critically ill children,and it can also reflect the severity of AKI.Therefore it can be used as an early diagnostic biomarker for AKI in PICU.

The smoking cessation rate of 1 314 people at high risk of lung cancer in the area of lung cancer screening and early diagnosis and early treatment in Sichuan Province increased from 22.37% at baseline to 41.78% after screening (χ2=227.97, P<0.001), and the smoking amount of persistent smokers decreased from 20 cigarettes per day to 15 cigarettes per day ( t=11.76, P<0.001). Those with positive results in lung cancer screening were more likely to quit smoking or continue to quit smoking. Male, younger age or lower education level would increase the risk of continuous smoking or relapse ( P<0.05).

Objective:To investigate the neuroprotective effect of cerebroprotein hydrolysate (CH) -Ⅰ on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats and its mechanism.Methods:Eighty adult healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, CH-Ⅰ intervention group and cerebrolysin (CBL) positive control group. The model of ischemia-reperfusion injury was induced by temporarily occluding the left middle cerebral artery with suture-occluded method. The CH-Ⅰ and CBL groups intraperitoneally injected with CH-Ⅰ and CBL at 0, 3, 6 and 12 h after reperfusion at the dose of 20 mg/kg. The sham operation group and the model group were injected with the same volume of normal saline. At 24 h after reperfusion, the behavior changes of the rats were detected by the modified neurological severity score (mNSS). The volume of cerebral infarction was detected by TTC staining. The morphology and structure of neurons in ischemic cortex were observed by Nissl staining. The apoptosis of neurons in ischemic cortex was detected by TUNEL staining. The expression changes of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK) 1/2, phosphorylated mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pMEK) 1/2, phosphorylated cAMP response element binding protein (pCREB) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the ischemic cortex were detected by Western blot.Results:At 24 h after reperfusion, the mNSS score and cerebral infarct volume in the model group were significantly higher and larger than those in the sham group (all P<0.001). The mNSS scores and cerebral infarct volumes in the CH-Ⅰ and CBL groups were significantly reduced compared with those in the model group (all P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the CH-Ⅰ group and the CBL group. Nissl and TUNEL staining showed that the degenerative cell index and apoptotic cell index in the CH-Ⅰ group were significantly lower than those in the model group (all P<0.01), but there were no significant difference between the CH-Ⅰ group and the CBL group. Western blot analysis showed that compared with the sham operation group, the pMEK1/2, pERK1/2 and pCREB expressions in ischemic cortex were significantly enhanced and the BDNF expression was significantly attenuated in the model group ( P<0.05). Compared with the model group, pMEK1/2, pERK1/2, and pCREB expressions in the CH-Ⅰ group were significantly decreased (all P<0.05), and the BDNF expression was significantly increased ( P<0.05). Conclution:CH-Ⅰ can reduce cerebral infarct volume and improve neurological function, and its mechanism may be associated with the inhibition of the MEK-ERK-CREB pathway as well as the enhancement of BDNF expression.
