OBJECTIVE To discuss the effect of regular emptiness of humidification pot on ventilator associated pneumonia(VAP) in the patients with mechanical ventilation.METHODS Totally 240 mechanical ventilation patients were randomed to 2 groups,in an observation group the humidification pots were emptied per 24 hours and in a control group the fluid was added only when its water was lower limit and compared their incidence rate of VAP.RESULTS Ninety-six of 240 patients with mechanical ventilation had developed VAP and 238 pathogen strains were cultured.Altogether,the incidence of VAP in observation group was lower than those in control group significantly,?2=4.4,P

Objective To study the proper desiccation and the expiry date for humidifier after disinfection, and then decline the incidence rate of infection in hospital. Methods Divided 84 humidifiers into the A and B groups randomly after disinfection, there were 42 humidifiers in the each group. The natural desiccation was used in the A group, the oxygen desiccation was used in the B group. Monitored the humidifiers of the two groups respectively lasted 7 days, and then compare the datum between them. Results The expiry date of the humidifiers which have dried by natural desiccation was longer than that of humidifiers which have dried by oxygen desiccation. Conclusion We should set down the expiry date for humidifier according to the different desiccation and the different seasons.

Objective To study the modulation in number and function of endothelial progenitor cell ( EPC ) in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome ( MODS ) after trauma in swine, and to investigate its pathogenesis. Methods Forty pigs were divided into sham group and MODS group ( each, n = 20 ). The model of MODS of two-hit injury, namely hemorrhagic shock and endotoxemia, was reproduced. The peripheral blood was collected before hemorrhage ( T1 ) and endotoxin injection ( T2 ), and 1 hour ( T3 ), 24 hours ( T4 ), 48 hours ( T5 ) after endotoxin injection. Phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase ( p-p38MAPK ) in mononuclear cell was determined by Western Blot, the content of tumor necrosis factor-α ( TNF-α) was determined with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA ), and the number of EPC was determined with flow cytometry. Results Model of MODS was successfully reproduced in 17 pigs. In model group, the expression of p-p38MAPK ( A value ) peaked at T3 ( 4.83±0.52 ), and gradually declined at T4 and T5 ( 4.36±0.43, 1.93±0.33 ), and the expression of p-p38MAPK at T3-T5 was significantly higher than that at T1 ( 1.00±0.22, all P<0.01 ). The plasma concentration of TNF-α( ng/L ) at T3 in MODS group was obviously elevated compared with that of sham group ( 532.43±52.17 vs. 129.03±20.45, t=31.163, P<0.001 ), and it peaked at T3, it then gradually lowered, and it was significantly higher at T4 and T5 than that in sham group ( T4: 398.93±35.75 vs. 131.12±29.53, t = 26.562, P < 0.001; T5: 287.48±27.26 vs. 126.44±26.96, t=17.861, P<0.001 ). The number of EPC ( ×107/L ) was apparently increased in MODS group at T3 compared with sham group ( 4.832±0.624 vs. 3.545±0.363, t=9.542, P<0.001 ), and it peaked at T3, then gradually decreased, and the number of EPC at T4 and T5 was significantly lower than that in sham group ( T4:2.628±0.627 vs. 3.442±0.325, t=5.043, P<0.001;T5:2.203±0.711 vs. 3.471±0.323, t=2.972, P<0.001 ). Conclusion Phosphorylation of p38MAPK could increase the plasma concentration of TNF-αand decrease the quantity of EPC in MODS,which may be one of the mechanisms of MODS.

Objective To explore the expression of Her-2 and the effect on the initiation,development,invasion and metastasis of pancreatic carcinoma.Methods A total of 225 patients with pancreatic carcinomafrom January 2000 to December 2007 were analyzed retrospectively.Paraffin sections of surgical specimens from all the patients who underwent standard resection were examined by SP immunohistochemical method staining.The expression of Her-2 in patients with pancreatic carcinoma and the association between Her-2 and other clinical and pathological parameters were examined.Results Her-2 was positive in 87 of all the 225 patients(38.67%).The differentiation of tumors;size of tumors;lymph node metastasis and other organs metastasis were significantly related to Her-2.The surrival time of the Her-2-positive patients[(19.33±8.15)/nonths]Was significantly shorter than that of the Her-2-negative patients [(36.23±15.44)months]in the univariate analysis(P<0.01).At multivariate COX proportional hagards model analysis,the positivity of Her-2 applied to be an independent prognostic factor,which was also influenced by size of tumors;lymph node metastasis and other organs metastasis.Conclusion It suggests the incidence of Her-2 play an important role in evaluation of the prognosis of pancreatic carcinoma,and it could serve as an independent predictor of prognosis of pancreatic carcinoma.

Objective To explore the treatment of incidental gallbladder carcinoma(UGC)discovered during laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC). Methods The clinical data of 17 cases of incidental gallbladder (carcinoma) discovered during laparoscopic cholecystectomy were reviewed retrospectively. Results 11cases with Nevin stage I or stage II were treated by LC and 1 case with Nevin stage III and 3 cases with Nevin stage V were treated by LC and radical local lymphadenectomy. 2 cases with Nevin stage IV were treated by (cholecystectomy). UGC was incidently found in 0.6% of the cases. Cases with Nevin Stage I and II were (observed) for 5 years with no recurrence. A case with Nevin Stage III was found to have recurrence within one and a half years postoperatively and had a re-operation. The prognosis of patients with Nevin Stage IV and V was poor and they were dead within a year after operation. Conclusions The incidently found gallbladder carcinoma with Nevin Stage I and II disease can be radically resected with laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The incidently found gallbladder carcinoma with Nevin Stage III and IV disease needs to be radically resected, and if the resection margin is found to be free of tumour, the prognosis is enhanced. The ones with Nevin Stage V need to be treated by local lymphadenectomy and wedge-resection of liver.
