Objective To study the state, feature and risk factors of bacterial infection in patients with liver cirrhosis, find out the influence of infection on prognosis, and provide scientific basis for its prevention and treatment. Methods Three hundred and twenty-three patients with liver cirrhosis were analyzed. The number of the patients with infection, the location of infection, clinical feature as well as the kind of pathogenic bacteria were analyzed. Unconditional Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the risk factors of bacterial infection. Results The overall infection rate was 39.94% (129/323),of which community acquired infection rate and nosocomial infection rate were 22.60% (73/323) and 17.34%(56/323) respectively. The most common location of infection in turn were respiratory tract,gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract,biliary tract and abdominal cavity. The main pathogenic bacteria was Gram-negative bacillus, most of which had drug resistance for cefquinome and quinolones. The risk factors related with bacterial infection included liver cancer, Child-Pugh class B and C grade of liver function, gastrointestinal tract bleeding, diabetes mellitus,invasive operations and the length of staying in hospital. Conclusions The incidence rate of infection in patients with liver cirrhosis is higher. Multiple factors are likely to affect the incidence rate of infection in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Objective To discuss the effects of health management model on mental health of undergraduates. Methods A total of 2244 freshmen from a college were randomly assigned to the study group (n =824) and the control group (n = 1420) in 2009. Chinese College Students Mental Health Scale (CCSMHS) was used to investigate the changes of the participants in the study group after receiving the health management and analyze psychological differences between 2 groups. Results In CCSMHS,all P was found to be less than 0. 05, except for anxiety ( t = 1.90, P = 0. 058 ), reliance ( t = 1.27, P = 0. 206), and impulse (t = -0. 60, P = 0. 551 ). In 8 dimensionalities with significant differences, scores were decreased after health management when compared with baselines. Instead of body ( t = - 1.38, P = 0. 168 ), all the other scores showed statistically significant differences between the 2 groups. Conclusion Mental health of those who received health management was better than those who didn't. However, anxiety, reliant, and impulse did not improve as a result of shorter intervention time, and the challenge facing psychology intervenion.

Objective To investigate the effects of quercetin on the growth of lung cancer cell line A549 and the expression of hTERT gene. Methods The number of viable cells was ascertained by trypan blue dye exclusion test. Morphological changes of apoptotic cells were observed by electronic microscopy and DNA ladder assay. The telomerase activity was analyzed by PCR-TRAP assay and hTERT mRNA expression was detected by quantitative RT-PCR. Results Quercetin had a significant inhibition on the proliferation of A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The IC50 was 22.5 ?mol/L after exposure to quercetin for 48 h. The results from electron microscopy and DNA ladder showed that apoptosis occurred in the A549 cells of treatment groups. The results of quantitative RT-PCR and PCR-TRAP revealed that the expression of hTERT mRNA was significantly inhibited by quercetin and telomerase activity was decreased. Conclusion Quercetin inhibits the growth of lung cancer cell line A549 in a dose-dependent manner,and induce their apoptosis. The down-regulated expression of hTERT,suppression of telomerase activity and destruction of telomere stability may all contribute to the mechanism of apoptosis induction.
