1.Studying homeostasis from interaction between metabolism and immune system:revelation of ying-wei theory based on complexity science
China Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy 2005;0(10):-
The interaction between immune response and metabolic regulation can be viewed as a central homeostatic mechanism,dysfunction of which will lead to many diseases.This nonlinear interaction,which has the characteristic of super-complexity,can’t be controlled unless it is studied as a holism and the change of condition is researched.To study this homeostasis,bottom-up method used in system biology is limited.Ying-wei theory of TCM uses another method to describe di erent states of metabolic and immune systems e ectively.The unique approaches and rich experiences applied in TCM are of great value.

China Pharmacy 2017;28(14):1916-1920
OBJECTIVE:To explore the risk factors for nosocomial infection of multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) in ICU,and to provide reference for preventing and controlling MDRO in ICU. METHODS:In retrospective study,246 patients with nosocomial infection from ICU of Xi'an Aerospace General Hospital (hereinafter referred to asour hospital) during Jan. 2011-Dec. 2015 were selected and divided into non-MDRO infection group (140 cases) and MDRO infection group (106 cases). The detection and drug resistance of MDRO were analyzed in MDRO group. Univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression anal-ysis were used to explore risk factors for nosocomial infection of MDRO. RESULTS:During 2011-2015,435 strains of MDRO were isolated from 106 MDRO infection patients,in which Gram-negative bacteria accounted for 89.43%,showing severe drug re-sistance. Univariate analysis showed that the following 13 factors were related to nosocomial infection of MDRO,such as ICU ad-mission time,hypoproteinemia,acute cerebrovascular diseases,renal abnormalities,mechanical ventilation time,arterivenous cath-eterization time,urethral catheterization time,indwelling gastric tube time,type and time of using antibiotics,combined use of an-tibiotics,application of carbapenems and the third generation caphalosporins(P<0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that acute cerebrovascular diseases,type and time of using antibiotics were the independent risk factors for nosocomial infection of MDRO in ICU [odds ratios were 2.816,1.582,1.265,95%CI were (1.540,5.151),(1.085,2.306),(1.131,1.415)]. CONCLU-SIONS:Some prevention and control measures should be taken actively for high-risk MDRO infection patients in ICU to reduce the incidence of nosocomial infection of MDRO and improve the quality of health care.

Chinese Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma 2002;0(01):-
Objective To study the factors which affect the functional restoration of the elbow for adults with supracondylar or intercondylar fractures of the humerus treated with open reduction and internal fixation. Methods 22 patients with supracondylar or intercondylar fractures of the humerus were treated with open reduction and internal fixation from January, 1999 to December, 2004. They were followed up for an average of 30 months and complete clinical data were kept. The function of the elbow was evaluated with the Mayo elbow performance index. The relationship between the results and the factors —initial time of postoperative rehabilitation, fracture classification, operative approach and interval from injury to operation —were analyzed with cumulative logistic regression model of SAS software V8.2 (SAS institute, Cary, North Carolina). Results Of the 22 cases, 7 were excellent, 9 good, 5 fair and 1 poor. The excellent and good rates were 72.7%. And the odds ratio estimates of the 4 factors were 0.786, 0.299(B/A)0.221(C/A), 1.038, 0.197 respectively. Conclusions The initial time of postoperative rehabilitation, the fracture classification and the interval from injury to operation affect the functional restoration whereas the operative approach does not. Early operation, anatomical reduction, stable fixation and early rehabilitation will help improve the functional restoration.
