Polychlorinated biphenyls(PCBs) is one of persistent organic pollutants which are widely exist in environment.This review described PCBs characteristics and toxicity on animals and human livers.Before now,it was identified that PCBs caused liver damage and hepatocarcinogenicity for animals.However,occupational studies and long-term,low level exposure studies to human beings have found no direct correlation between PCBs exposure and liver damage and carcinogenicity,only accidental environmental exposures have found increased mortality of liver disease.But high morbidity of human liver cancer and detected PCBs in the environment were reported in some regions.It is evident that more researches should be done.

Objective To explore the relationship between postoperative cancer-related fatigue and nutritional risk in patients with colorectal cancer. Method Using convenience sampling method, 159 postoperative colorectal cancer patients were interviewed with cancer-related fatigue scale and PG-SGA 7 days after operation. Results The average score of CRF was (21.28 ± 6.06). The score by PG-SGA was (15.18 ± 5.55). About 94.34%patients were in need of nutritional intervention. The postoperative cancer-related fatigue was positively related to PG-SGA scores(all P<0.05). Conclusions The postoperative colorectal cancer patients are at a high risk of malnutrition, with nutrition risk positively related with somatic cancer-related fatigue. The clinical nursing staff should pay attention to the nutritional status of patients and correct their malnutrition so as to reduce the symptoms of cancer-related fatigue.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of ultrafiltration extract from Angelica Sinensis Radix and Hedysari Radix on PC12 cell apoptosis induced by H2O2; To discuss its mechanism of action.Methods H2O2 was used in the incubation of PC12 cells to establish the oxidative damage nerve cell apoptosis model. The experiment was divided into normal control group, model group, and three different dosages (0.375, 0.75, 1.5 g/L) of ultra-filtration extracted from Angelica Sinensis Radix and Hedysari Radix after modeling for interference. Rate of cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry; mitochondrial membrane potential was measured by laser scanning confocal microscopy; the protein expressions of cleaved Caspase-3, Bax and Bcl-2 were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the model group, rates of cell apoptosis in the different dosage groups decreased significantly; membrane potential of mitochondria increased; the protein expressions of cleaved Caspase-3 and Bax decreased; the expression of Bcl-2 increased; the ratio of Bcl-2 and Bax increased (P<0.05).Conclusion The ultra-filtration extracted from Angelica Sinensis Radix and Hedysari Radix can inhibit PC12 cell apoptosis induced by H2O2.

Objective To study the prevention and treatment effect of ω-3 fatty acids on intestinal mucosa in critical illness. Methods Forty patients including severe trauma, infection shock were enrolled as experimental group, while 30 healthy people as control group. At the same time, the patients in expermental group were randomly divided into group A and group B(20 cases each). While the patients were. Treated with low calorie parenteral nutrition totally, those in group A received ω-3 fatty acids additionally. The plasma concentrations of dimnine oxidase (DAO), endotoxin were detected by spectrophotography, and TNF-α was detected by ELISA. Results After treatment the concentration of DAO, endotoxin, TNF-α in group A and that of endotoxin in group B decreased significantly (P<0.05 ). While there was no significant difference of endotoxin levels between group A and group B. After therapy, DAO and TNF-α levels in group A were sig-nificantly lower than those in group B (P<0.05 ). The concentrations of DAO and TNF-α in group B were also significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05). Conclusion ω-3 fatty acids can prevent and treat critical intestinal mucosa effectively.

Objective To summarize the pathogenic spectrum and antimicrobial susceptibility of hospital-acquired bloodstream infections (HABSI) in children,and to provide evidence for clinical antiinfection treatment.Methods During January 2004 to December 2011,the clinical data and drug susceptibility results of 168 children who were diagnosed with HABSI based on positive results of pathogen tests were reviewed retrospectively in Yuying Children's Hospital affiliated to Wenzhou Medical College.Results A total of 171 strains were isolated from blood specimens of the 168 children.The majority of HABSI occurred in the intensive care unit (73.7 %),followed by department of hematology (22.6%).Gram-positive bacteria,gram-negative bacteria and fungi accounted for 53.8%,34.5% and 11.7%,respectively.The predominant pathogens were Stagphylococcus epidermidis (14.1%),followed by Klebsiella pneumonia (13.5 %),Staphylococcus haemolyticus (7.6%),Staphylococcus aureus (6.4%),Enterococcus faecium (6.4%) and Escherichia coli (6.4 %).Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis resistant to methicillin were detected in 9.1 % and 91.7 % of specimens,respectively.Staphylococcus and enterococcus which were resistant to vancomycin or linezolid were not detected.The isolation rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli with extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) were 95.7% and 72.7%,respectively.One hundred and sixty cases (95.2 %) had underlying diseases including premature birth and low birth weight (60.7%).One hundred and twenty-six cases (75.0%) underwent invasive procedures.The peak incidence of HABSI occurred in children less than 3 months old (75.6%).Conclusions HABSI is most common in infants younger than 3 months old,with underlying diseases or undergone invasive procedures.The pathogens are mainly gram-positive bacteria.Very low birth weight infants can acquire unusual infection of Kodamaea ohmeri.Thus,it is essential to strengthen the prevention of hospital-acquired infection.

Objective To investigate the effect of wogonin on ethology and its possible mechanisms in chronic cerebral ischemia in rats.Methods Rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group,a wogonin intervention group,and a phosphate buffered solution (PBS) control group.A rat model of chronic cerebral ischemia was induced by the two-vessel occlusion method.Six weeks after modeling,the rats in the wogonin intervention group and the PBS control group were intragastric administrated with wogonin (50 μmol/L,10 ml/kg,once a day) and PBS with equal volume for 14 days.Morris water maze test was used to evaluate the spatial learning and memory function.Laser confocal three-dimensional vascular imaging was used to detect the vascular proliferation of ischemic brain tissue.5-Bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU)immunochemical staining was used to detect the cell proliferation in ischemic brain tissue.Transmission electron microscope was used to observe the morphological changes of neural cells in cerebral ischernic region.Results The Morris water maze (n =8) showed that the trains of escape latency from the second to the fifth day in the wogonin intervention group were 43.45 ± 8.64 s,37.12 ± 1.31 s,34.75 ± 5.36 s,and 24.36 ± 5.43 s,respectively.They were significantly shorter than 51.69 ± 5.32 s,43.65 ± 9.21 s,50.19 ± 10.31 s,and 53.65 ± 7.15 s in the PBS control group (all P < 0.05).The first quadrant swimming time of the wogonin intervention group was significantly longer than that of the PBS control group (26.16 ±3.29 s vs.14.38 ±2.16 s; P<0.01).Laser confocal three-dimensional vascular imaging (n=4) showed that the capillary inner diameter in cerebral ischemia region of the wogonin intervention group was reduced significantly compared to the PBS control group (3.02 ±0.21 μm vs.3.35 ±0.18 μm; P <0.05),vascular density was increased significantly (205.80 ± 12.70/0.002 mm3vs.158.42 ± 10.92/0.002 mm3; P<0.01),and total microvascular area was increased significantly (83 389 ± 4 026 μm2/0.002 mm3 vs.73 349 ±3 986 μm2/0.002 mm3; P<0.01).Immunohistochemical staining (n =6) showed that the number of BrdU positive cells in the ischemic brain tissue of the wogonin intervention group was increased significantly compared to the PBS control group (24.62 ±3.25/HPF vs.9.87 ±2.89/HPF; P<0.01).The observation of transmission electron microscope showed that the inflammatory edema in the intercellular spaces of the wogonin intervention group was significantly reduced compare to the PBS control group.Conclusions Wogonin can significantly improve the spatial learning and memory ability of chronic cerebral ischemia in rats,and its possible mechanisms may include the promotion of proliferation and angiogenesis in ischemic region and angiogenesis,and reduce inflammatory response.
