ObjectiveTo investigate prognostic factors in acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD).Methods352 AECOPD patients were investigated.26 possible variables were analyzed.Multivariate Logistic and Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis were used.ResultsAccording to multivariate Logistic regression,it showed seven factors were statistically significant for short term prognosis ( P ＜0.05 ),including PaO2 ( OR =0.082),CKMB ( OR =4.967 ),mechanical ventilation ( OR =6.903 ),albumin ( OR =0.221 ),FEV1％ ( OR =0.255 ),charlson index ( OR =8.406 ) and hospital day ( OR =0.075).According to multivariate Cox regression,it showed seven factors were statistically significant for long term survival ( P ＜ 0.05 ) including acute exacerbation frequency( HR =1.611 ),charlson index( HR =4.319),SaO2 ( HR =0.224 ),troponin Ⅰ ( HR =3.824 ),albumin ( HR =0.569 ),hospital day ( HR =0.456) and FEV1％ (HR =0.494).Acute exacerbation frequency was correlated with dyspnea scale( rs =0.508,P ＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionsPaO2,albumin,FEV1％,CKMB and charlson index were related with short term prognosis.SaO2,albumin,FEV1 ％,troponin Ⅰ,charlson index and acute exacerbation frequency were related with long term survival.Higher acute exacerbation frequency contributed to more severe breathing difficulties and worse quality of life.

Objective To investigate clinical effect of Danhong injection combined with edaravone in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and influence on TNF-αand TGF-β1 in serum.Methods 67 patients were randomly divided into Treatment Group (n=35) and Control Group (n=32) in Xuanwu hospital of Nanjing from March 2011 to December 2014.All the patients were treated by comprehensive conventional treatment, and then control group was treated by edaravone, treatment group were treated by Danhong injection on the basis of control group.The clinical efficiency, PaO2 , carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (Dlco) and the levels of inflammatory factors between two groups were compared.Results After treatment, the clinical total effective rate(97.14%) of treatment group was statistically higher than that of control group (75.00%, Z=-2.035,P=0.042).After treatment, partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2) and Dlco in treatment group were increased significantly(all P<0.05);and it was statistically higher then control group (all P<0.05).TNF-αand TGF-β1 in treatment group were decreased significantly (all P<0.05);and it was also statistically higher then control group (all P<0.05).Conclusion Danhong injection combined with edaravone is effective in treatment of IPF, which can significantly improve the pulmonary function and levels of inflammatory factors.

Objective:To study the clinico-pathologic characteristics, molecular phenotypes, and prognosis of young breast can-cer patients. Methods:Data from 133 low-age (age≤30 years) young breast cancer patients and 117 young (31 years≤age≤35 years) breast cancer patients who underwent surgery between January 2002 and December 2009 were reviewed. Cases of the middle and old-age elderly (age>35 years) breast cancer patients during the corresponding period were randomly selected as matched controls. The clinico-pathologic characteristics, molecular phenotypes, and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed. Results:The low-age young and young breast cancer patients significantly differed from the elderly patients in terms of tumor size, lymph node metastasis, histological grading, molecular phenotype, and relapse (P<0.05). The low-age young patients are more vulnerable to have triple-negative breast can-cer, recurrence, and distant metastasis (P<0.001). Moreover, the low-age young patients have lower overall survival and disease-free survival than the other groups (P<0.05). Conclusion:Young breast cancer patients have poor prognosis compared with the elderly. Ear-ly screening and prompt treatment are necessary for young breast cancer patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk factors for nosocomial pneumonia(NP) caused by imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(IRAB) and its antimicrobial susceptibility in vitro. METHODS The data of 34 cases of IRAB-NP were analyzed and 68 cases of NP caused by imipenem-susceptible A.baumannii(ISAB) were randomized as control.Antimicrobial susceptibility(MIC) was determined with the method of agar dilution. RESULTS The two independent factors associated with the development of IRAB-NP: previous fluoroquinolone(OR=5.738) and imipenem/meropenem(OR=7.129) use.The drug sensitivity test in vitro showed that these strains were multiresistant to commonly used antibiotics,and only ampicillin/sulbactam and cefoperazone/sulbactam whose resistance rate was less than 30%. CONCLUSIONS Previous imipenem/meropenem and fluoroquinolone use is independent risk factors for IRAB-NP.These strains are high drug resistant.

BACKGROUND:Stromal vascular fraction digested from adipose tissue is a mixture of a variety of cel s, and clone-like cel components may have the real ability to maintain the stemness of mesenchymal stem cel s OBJECTIVE:To separate, passage and culture colony-forming cel s in the stromal vascular fraction of adipose tissue, and to test its ability to repair the knee cartilage in animal models. METHODS:Stromal vascular fraction isolated from fresh adipose tissue was cultured to col ect clone-like adherent cel s that were subject to digestion and passage until the third generation. A rabbit model of osteoarthritis was established surgical y, and the third generation of colony-forming cel s were transplantated into the articular cavity of model rabbits. Model rabbits with no cel transplantation served as controls. Cartilage regeneration in the knee joint of model rabbits were observed and compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 3 days after transplantation of stromal vascular fraction cel s, clone-like cel colonies appeared in adherent cel s;at 5 days, the amount of clone-like cel colonies and surrounding single cel s were both increased. At the passage 3, the clone-like cel colonies were also visible, which were fusiform in shape. Gross observation and MRI examination showed that these colony-forming cel s could promote cartilage repair in the joint cavity, increase secretion of synovial fluid, and help to control inflammation and narrow ulceration area. Experimental findings are beneficial for optimizing the isolation and culture of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel s and provide a new way for the clinical treatment of osteoarthritis.

Background and purpose: With the increase of aging population, elderly patients (age ≥70 years) with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma occurred more and more. However, few studies have focused on elderly esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients. This study aimed to assess the outcomes and prognostic factors for elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated after deifnitive chemoradiotherapy. Methods:We retrospectively analyzed 53 patients (age≥70 years) with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and treated with deifnitive radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from Mar. 2009 to Dec. 2011. Results:Median age was 74 years. Twenty-nine patients underwent radiotherapy, 24 patients underwent radiochemotherapy. 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5- year survival was 62%, 44%, 33% and 19% respectively. Grade 2 and above acute radiation-induced esophageal toxicity and radiation pneumonitis occur rate was 6% and 9% respectively. No treatment-related deaths occurred and no patients experienced any grade 4 and above toxicities. Multivariate analysis identiifed treatment modality, tumor site and smoking history as independent prognostic factors for overall survival. Conclusion:Radiotherapy may be an acceptable treatment option for elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. In appropriately selected patients, concurrent chemotherapy could bring a better overall survival.
