OBJECTIVE To investigate and analyze the application of prophylactic antibiotics in perioperative period in hospital.METHODS Totally 2 055 cases under operation were investigated prospectively from Jun to Dec in 2005.RESULTS The rate of antibiotics usage was 99.95% among the 2 055 cases.The usage of antibiotics in aseptic wound was 99.92%,and in aseptic-contaminative and contaminative wound was all 100%;72.47% of the patients received single antibiotic treatment,25.84% and 1.12% received 2 to 3 kinds of antibiotics combined therapy respectively.The mean time of the usage of antibiotics during perioperative period was 8.16 days,and that for aseptic,aseptic-contaminative and contaminative wound was 8.1,8.2,and 8.2 days,respectively.29.65% Patients were given antibiotics in 0.5-2 hours before operation,68% were given after operation.The duration of antibiotics therapy less than 48 hours was only 3.45%.The rate of wound infection was 0.75% in patients. The rate of wound infection of aseptic,aseptic-contaminative and contaminative operations was 0.29%,1.33% and 3.42%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS Application of prophylactic antibiotics during perioperative period in hospital is not reasonable.The problem is improper time that given antibiotics,improper kind of antibiotics selected and too long duration of the antibiotics therapy.It is necessary that the antibiotics administration should be standardized.

Background and purpose:As a minimally invasive procedure, video-assisted thoracospic surgery for definitive resection of lung cancer is the focus of thoracic surgeons controversy.We studied the application of video-assisted thoracospic surgery and conventional thoracotomy for definitive resection of lung cancer from viewpoint of lymphadenectomy. Methods:From January 2001 to December 2005,549 patients with lung cancer underwent video-assisted thoracospic surgery lobectomy or pneumonectomy with systematic thoracic lymphadenectomy. The total number and average of dissected lymph nodes were recorded. Some studies on VAT and conventional lobectomy or pneumonectomy with systematic thoracic lymphadenectomy for lung cancer were compared.Results:In all 549 cases,7360 lymph nodes were dissected. The average of dissected lymph nodes was 13.41. There were no significant difference between video-assisted thoracospic surgery and conventional thoracotomy.Conclusions:Video-assisted thoracospic surgery should fulfill the same quality of lymphadenectomy WT5"and lung cancer radical resection.

Autoimmune diseases (AID) are a group of diseases,in which the tolerance of immune system to self component is broken.However,the etiology and pathogenesis of AID has not yet been clear so far.For better understanding the pathogenesis of AIDs and providing new idea on the diagnosis and treatment of AID,this review will focus on the latest development on pathogenesis of AID,including genetic background,environment factors,abnormal immune regulation,and the role of target cells.

To strongly promote the activity of reading classics among medical students, Chongqing University of Medical Sciences has made a sampling survey on the state of reading and their literature knowledge among the medical students. The survey shows that the medical students agree to the necessity and probability of reading classics, that they also show some obvious preferences for interest in reading and that there is a huge difference in hierarchy,grade and sex with regard to the grasp of literature, history, philosophy, arts and technology for medical students. The outcome of this survey will undoubtedly make a great revelation on how to carry out the activity of reading classics.

AIM: To study the effect of caffeine on the large conductance calcium activated potassium (K_(Ca)) channels by patch-clamp technique on smooth muscle cells enzymatically isolated from the porcine coronary artery (PCASMC),and to investigate the effect of ryanodine on K_(Ca) being activated by caffeine.METHODS: Using the single channel patch-clamp technique,single PCASMC was isolated by collagenase,the activity of single K_(Ca) channel was recorded in porcine coronary artery smooth muscle cells.RESULTS: Caffeine (0.1-10 mmol/L) enhanced the open probability (Po) of K_(Ca) channels in a dose-dependent manner in the intracellular side of inside-out patches and its effect was almost completely abolished by washout. Caffeine decreased the mean close time markedly,but had no effect on the amplitude of K_(Ca) channels. However,ryanodine (10-40 μmol/L) decreased Po of K_(Ca) channels activated by caffeine in a dose-dependent manner in cell-attached patches. The mean open time also decreased.CONCLUSION: Caffeine directly activates K_(Ca) channels of porcine coronary artery smooth muscle cells in inside-out patches,the activity of single K_(Ca) channel is inhibited by ryanodine indirectly in cell-attached patches.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of Shuxuening combined with epalrestat in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. Methods Eighty patients from March 2014 to June 2015 in Metabolic Disease Department of the Second Hospital of Tianjin were randomly divided into observation group and control group with 40 patients in each group.The control group received epalrestat, and the observation group received Shuxuening injection on the baisis of control group. The related indicators were compared between two groups.Results After treatment, the 24 h-urine microalbumin, plasma low density lipoprotein and serum creatinine in observation group [(239.31 ±106.54)mg/L,(2.45 ±0.55)mmol/L,(95.54 ± 22.13)mol/L]were lower than those in control group [(349.90 ±148.40),(3.41 ±0.52),(108.76 ±34.30)](P<0.05).The β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) and plasma high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in observation group [(0.39 ±0.06),(6.31 ±1.58)mg/L]were lower than those in control group [(0.49 ±0.12),(7.89 ±1.35)](P<0.05).The total efficacy in observation group was higher than that in control group (70.0%vs.45.0%,P<0.05).Conclusion Shuxuening injection joint epalrestat has the exact efficacy in treatment of patients with diabetic nephropathy.

Objective To investigate the relationship between eosinophil and in-stent restenosis in acute coronary syndrome patients. Methods One hundred and fifity-one ACS cases werenenrolled in this study. According to the results of coronary angiography (the stented segment lumen loss over 50% was judged to be ISR), patients were divided into the restenosis group and the non-restenosis group. Results Based on the logistic analysis, no significant association was found between eosinophil and ISR, and even after adjustment of related risk factors (P > 0.05). The stratification analysis showed that the high level of eosinophil might increase the risk of ISR in ACS patients with history of hypertension (P = 0.038) and myocardial infarction (P = 0.032). Conclusion Eosinophil may be associated with the risk of ISR in ACS patients with history of hypertension and myocardial infarction. The underlying mechanisms need to be elucidated in further study.

Objective To investigate the neuroprotection of delayed treatment of thoracic acute spinal cord injury with recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) in rat model of compressive injury. Methods Sixteen adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups: control group (compressive injury group) and experimental group (rhEPO group), In the compressive injury group,the animals recived 0.9% saline treatment at 2 h, day 1 and day 3 after the injury, while in the rhEPO group, rhEPO (3 000 U/kg) was given to rats at 2 h, day 1 and day 3 after the injury. All the rats were observed in 4 days after the injury. The primary outcomes were evaluated by BBB scale, apoptotic index, inflammatory index and electron microscopy. Results Delayed treatment of thoracic acute spinal cord injury with rhEPO could reduce apoptosis, regulate inflammation, improve motor function and promote regeneration of the spinal cord. Conclusion Our study suggests that delayed treatment of thoracic spinal cord compressive injury with rhEPO could exert neuroprotection.

BACKGROUND:Percutaneous kyphoplasty for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures has gained good clinical results and it is characterized as smal trauma, less bleeding and very low rate of complications. The vast majority of elderly patients can tolerate it, but this method cannot prevent fracture replase in the elderly. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate clinical outcomes of percutaneous kyphoplasty combined with anti-osteoporosis drug for the treatment of acute osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures METHODS:According to strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, 137 patients, including 26 males and 111 females, mean age of (75.55±6.96) years, with a total of 198 acute osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures treated by kyphoplasty that involves injection of polymethyl methacrylate cement under radiologic control into a treated vertebral body were conducted in this study. Al patients were asked to take anti-osteoporosis drugs for 3 post-treatment months. The primary outcomes were visual analogue scale, ertebral restoring rate, Oswestry disability index, Cobb angle at different time (pre-operation, 1 week and 3 months after operation). In addition, the rate of complications and the replase rate of vertebral compression fractures after operation were recorded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were significant differences in the mean visual analog scale scores, vertebral restoring rate, Oswestry disability index, Cobb angle at pre-procedure and post-procedure (at 1 week and 3 months) (P<0.001). In addition, the rate of postoperative complications was 0.7%and there were no vertebral compression fractures during 3-month fol ow-up period. Our study suggests that percutaneous kyphoplasty combined with anti-osteoporosis drug for the treatment of acute osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures can gain good clinical results.
