Objective To investigate the effect of 6 % hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 200/0.5 infusion before operation on postoperative immne function in patients. Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes aged 21-58 yr weighing 47-79 kg were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 20 each): 6% HES 200/0.5 group (group H) and compound sodium acetate group (group A). 6% HES 200/0.5 10 ml/kg or compound sodium acetate solution was infused intravenously over 15 min before anesthesia induction. Anesthesia was induced with iv injection of propofol, fentanyl and vecuronium and maintained with target-controlled infusion of propofol and infusion of remifentanil. Venous blood samples were collected before operation and at 1 h, 1 day and 3 days after operation to detect the serum concentrations of IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, IL-2, IL-10, IgG, IgA andIgM. Results Serum concentrations of IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, II-2 and IL-10 were significantly higher after operation in the two groups, and serum concentrations of IgA and IgG were significantly lower after operation in group A than those before operation ( P < 0.05 or 0.01 ). Serum concentrations of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α were significantly lower, while serum concentrations of IL-2, IL-10, IgA and IgG were significantly higher after operation in group H than in group A ( P <0.05). Conclusion Preoperative infusion with 6% HES 200/0.5 can improve the immune function after operation in patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of hypoxia on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and secretion in human renal fibroblasts. Methods Human renal fibroblasts were primary cultured from donor kidney, and cells in passage 3 were used in this experiment. Hypoxia was induced by incubation in a gas-tight box gassed with 10% CO2/10% H2/80% N2 for 24 hours. VEGF mRNA levels were measured by semi-quantitative RT-PCR method. VEGF proteins expressed on cell surface were measured by flow cytometry. VEGF proteins secreted into supernatants were measured by ELISA method. Results Hypoxia caused a 2. 5-fold increase of VEGF mRNA level in human renal fibroblasts. Hypoxia also induced significant increases of VEGF proteins on cell surfaces (mean fluorescence intensities: 1. 053?0. 055 vs 0.763?0.057, n=4,P

Objective To investigate the vicissitude of infection pathogens and their change in resistance to antibiotics in our hospital in the past 10 years, and to offer scientific information for clinical anti-infection treatment. Methods The data of pathogens identified and susceptibility test with VITEK system as well as K-B methods from 1995 to 2002 were analyzed. Results Gram negative bacteria was the predominance bacteria in recent 5 years, accounting for 60.7%-70.2% of all pathogens, with Pseudomonas aeruginosa ranked first, followed by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Serratia sp, Enterobacter sp and Acinetobacter sp. The ratio of Acinetobacter sp seemed to be increased in 1998, and it kept a high level in recent years. The isolation rate of Staphylococcus aureus from clinical specimens was the highest among pathogens since 1999, and 42.9%-74.5% of them were Methicillin-resistance S. aureus (MRSA). MRSA was found to be highly resistant to many antibiotics, and there was a tendency of increasing resistance to all kinds of antibiotics in Ps. aeruginosa and Acinetobacter species. Conclusion The significant changes in infectious pathogens in our hospital were an increase in S. aureus and decrease in E.coli in constituent ratios, as well as an elevation of drug resistance level of predominate bacteria. The results suggest that corresponding adjustment should be made in the strategy of infection treatment.

Objective To study the mechanism of resistance to antibiotics and disinfectants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from clinical specimens in a hospital, and to provide a reference for the use of aminoglycoside antibiotics for the treatment of P. aeruginosa infection as well as disinfection and sterilization. Methods 35 strains of multi-resistant P. aeruginosa were screened from clinical specimens by susceptibility test of agar dilution. Five kinds of aminoglycoside modifying enzyme gene and qzcE?1 gene were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Results The positive rates of aminoglycoside modifying enzyme genes, including aac(3)-Ⅱ, aac(6′)-Ⅰ, aac(6′)-Ⅱ, ant(3″)-Ⅰ and ant(2″)-Ⅰ, were 48.6%, 40%, 54.3%, 45.7% and 60%, respectively, and nearly all strains were positive for 2 or more than 2 kinds of above aminoglycoside modifying enzyme gene. The positive rate of qzcE?1 gene was 94.3%. Conclusions There was a close relationship between aminoglycoside modifying enzyme producing P. aeruginosa and its multi-resistance to antibiotics, The results suugested that aminoglycosides should be used cautiously, and it should be based on the result of susceptibility test in the treatment of P. aeruginosa infection, and it was inadvisable to use quaternary ammonium and biguanides disinfectant in disinfection and sterilization.

AIM: To explore the expressive profile of nestin protein in the focal ischemic brain and to study the recovery mechanism of brain focal infarct . METHODS: Cellular morphology, time-course and distribution pattern of nestin positive response were immunohistochemically examined in different brain regions of 36 adult male SD rats. RESULTS: Nestin positive response of different brain regions in sham operated rats was present in small- and micro-vasculartures and the third ventricle bottom and ependyma. A large number of nestin positive cells were detected in ischemic brain, and were more remarkable in the cortical areas of parietal lobe and preoptic area as well as ischemic caudoputamen. Stellate nestin positive cells were located in the deep layer of ischemic cortex, but fibrillary cells were located in the shallow layer. Nestin positive cells in the ischemic caudoputamen showed the same changes of morphology as those cells in the deep layer of ischemic cortex. Morphological and number alterations of nestin positive cells were the most remarkable at 1 weeks post-ischemia, which showed more hypertrophy and proliferation in morphology, and a marked increase in number was present in the ischemic cerebral cortex and the ischemic caudoputamen. These alterations of nestin positive cells persisted up to 6 weeks post-ischemia, and then, the nestin positive response in the ischemic brain decreased gradually. CONCLUSION: Focal cerebral ischemia induces nestin re-expression on reactive astrocytes, which may be very important to the self-recovery of cerebral infarct.
