Objective To investigate the differences of efficacy and economic efficiency between neuroendoscope and microscope for intracerebral hematomas cleaning operation. Methods From August 2014 to August 2015, clinical data of 68 cases with intracerebral hemorrhage were analyzed retrospectively. Hematoma evacuation was carried out by microscope in 37 cases (microscope group) received and 31 cases (endoscope group) underwent neuroendoscope. Following parameters were compared: the operation related index (hematoma clearance rate , intraoperative blood loss , the operation time , skin incision , bone window size ) , Glasgow Outcome Scale at 6 months after the operation, complications (intracranial infection, lung infections, gastrointestinal bleeding), medical economic parameters (the postoperative hospital stay, drug cost, cost other than drug, and total hospital cost). Results The hematoma clearance rate, Glasgow Outcome Scale at 6 months after the operation in the endoscope group were significantly better than those in the microscope group (P <0.05). The intraoperative blood loss, the operation time, skin incision, bone window size the postoperative hospital stay , drug costs , no drug costs , and total hospital cost in the neuroendoscope group were significantly lower than those in the microscope group (P < 0.01). The intracranial infection, lung infections in the neuroendoscope group were lower those in the microscope group (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in the incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding between the two groups (P > 0.05). The postoperative hospital stay, drug costs , no drug costs , and total hospital cost were significantly less in neuroendoscope group than that in microscope group (P< 0.01). Conclusion Neuroendoscopy has less trauma,there are some advantages of neuroendoscopy for intracerebral hematomas cleaning operation , such as minimal trauma , prominent effect , good prognosis and low cost. It should be widely applied in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the effect of CaMK Ⅱ expression on apoptosis of rat hepatocytes BRL-3A.Methods Rat BRL-3A cells were stable passage were cultured.The CaMK Ⅱ γ protein (LV-CaMK Ⅱ γ group) and CaMK Ⅱ γshRNA (shRNA group) lentiviral expression systems were constructed.The corresponding blank vectors (LV-NC group and shRNA-NC group) and normal saline (CON group) were perfused into the control groups.The expression levels of CaMK Ⅱ,Cyt C and MF proteins were detected by Western blotting,and the apoptosis rate of BRL-3A cells was measured by Tunel method.Results The protein expression of CaMK Ⅱ,Cyt C and AIF in LV-CaMK Ⅱ γ group was significantly higher than that in CON group (P＜0.05).The protein expression of CaMK Ⅱ,Cyt C and AIF in shRNA group was significantly lower than that in CON group (P＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference among CON group,LV-NC group and shRNA-NC group (P＞0.05).At the same time point,the apoptosis rate of hepatocytes in LV-CaMK Ⅱ γ group was significantly higher than that in CON group (P＜0.05).At the same time point,the apoptosis rate of hepatocytes in shRNA group was significantly higher than in CON group (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the apoptosis of hepatocytes among CON group,LV-NC group and shRNA-NC group (P＞0.05).Conclusion The specific CaMK Ⅱ signaling pathway can inhibit the apoptosis of BRL-3A cells,while the enhanced CaMK Ⅱ signaling pathway promotes the apoptosis of BRL-3A cells.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals are usually interfered by noises and base-line drift. A morphological filtering approach is put forward to remove the noise of the ECG signals and to calibrate the base-line drift in this paper. Different sizes of structuring elements were used to process the signals for different properties of ECG signal and noise. The morphological filtering approach is simple, fast and real-time in processing the signals, and it keeps the ECG signal shape unchanged while removing the noise. An experiment was carried out to simulate the morphological filtering approach with LabVIEW, and it was shown that this approach was effective in removing noise and in calibrating the base-line drift.

An analytical method of fluorescent dye-labeled oligonucleotides was established by ion pair reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography(IP-RP-HPLC) which was improved by optimizing the effects of triethylamine-acetic acid(TEAA)(0-0.15 mol/L), pH(4.5-7.0) and gradient. Comparing the retention of 5, 10 and 15-mer unlabeled oligonucleotides with that of 5'-carboxyfluorescein(5'FAM) labeled oligonucleotides, the mechanism of fluorescent dye-labeled oligonucleotides retention was studied. In addition, TaqMan~(TM) probes as wellas other common fluorescent dye-labeled oligonucleotides were concerned. The results showed that the best resolution of different length fluorescent dye-labeled oligonucleotides was observed under the condition of 0.01 mol/L TEAA and pH 7.0. The retention behavior of fluorescent dye-labeled oligonucleotides was different from that of unlabeled oligonucleotides significantly, and therefore they can be separated completely. The results indicated that the retention of unlabeled oligonucleotides enhanced with the increase of the length of molecule. In contrast, the retention of fluorescent dye-labeled oligonucleotides was reduced with the increase of the length of molecule. For the hydrophobicity of fluorescent dyes made a great impact on the retention, a longer retention time the labeled oligonucleotides would take while the hydrophobicity of fluorescent dyes was higher. However, the effect of the hydrophobicity was limited as the length was increased to a certain level.

Objective To compare the differences between two statistical methods for evaluating non-sensitivity of pathogenic bacteria to antimicrobial agents,and explore effect of non-consideration of clinical background on evalua-ting extent of bacterial resistance.Methods Data of Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter spp .in a hospital in the first half year of 2008,2010 and 2013 were collected and conducted statistical analysis with two methods (me-thod 1 :based on all clinically isolated bacteria;method 2 :based on infection-related non-repetitive bacteria),two methods for evaluating bacterial non-sensitive rates to antimicrobial agents were compared.Results The non-sensi-tive rates of Acinetobacter spp .to various antimicrobial agents :statistical results by using method 1 were generally higher than those using method 2,absolute difference between two statistical methods was 10.46%-33.77%;the non-sensitive rates of Staphylococcus aureus to various antimicrobial agents :except compound sulfamethoxazole in 2010 and 2013(difference were 6.17% and 10.21 % respectively),penicillin G (difference was 3.86%),erythromy-cin (difference was 2.71 %),and azithromycin in 2013 (difference was 2.43%),statistical results by using method 1 were generally higher than those using method 2,absolute difference between two statistical methods was 0-18.04%.Conclusion There are deviation in the non-sensitive rates of bacterial strains to antimicrobial agents by using two different statistical methods,deviation is larger in Acinetobacter spp ..The resistance level might be incorrectly higher when evaluating the resistance status without considering clinical background of bacteria.

This is a review of the progress in the study on auditory event-related potentials (ERP) of novel events. Several cognitive problems about the novelty ERP response on brain and the experiment methods are introduced. The mismatch negative potential (MMN) reflects the detection of deviant events, and MMN is related with the novelty P3. Familiarity and attention influence the novelty ERP response. Experiments results showed that the amplitude of ERPs in the frontal area was reduced with the enhancement of familiarity, while that in the parietal area had little change. Attention was helpful in increasing the amplitude of ERPs, and could make the corresponding brain area active. The functional significance of the response of ERP was discussed also.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy and safety of oseltamivir phosphate as treatment for naturally acquired influenza infection.

METHODSThis study was conducted as a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial during the influenza epidemic season from January to April 2001 at 7 centers in China. A total of 478 adults without other medical history, aged 18 to 65 years, were enrolled into the study. All subjects demonstrated febrile respiratory illness of no more than 36 hours' duration with a temperature of 37.8 degrees C or more plus at least two of the following symptoms: coryza/nasal congestion, sore throat, cough, myalgia/muscles aches and pain, fatigue, headache or chills/sweats. Individuals were randomized into either the oseltamivir phosphate or placebo group with identical-looking capsules. Either oral oseltamivir phosphate, 75 mg twice daily, or placebo was administered to the subjects for 5 days.

RESULTSA total of 451 individuals were analyzed for efficacy as the intent-to-treat population (ITT) (216 oseltamivir and 235 placebo) and 273 individuals were identified as influenza-infected through laboratory test, who were then defined as the intent-to-treat infected population (ITTI) (134 oseltamivir and 139 placebo). Four hundred and fifty nine individuals were included in the safety analysis. In the ITTI population, the cumulative alleviation proportion of oseltamivir group was significantly higher than that of the placebo group (P = 0.0466)). The median duration of illness was 91.6 h [95% confidence interval (CI) = 80.2 - 101.3 h] in the oseltamivir group and 95 h (95% CI = 84.5 - 105.3 h) in the placebo group. The median area under the curve of decreased total score was significantly higher in the oseltamivir group than in the placebo group, 1382.9 and 1236.7 score-hours, respectively (P = 0.0196). For the ITT population, similar results were observed. Adverse events (AE) were similarly reported in both the oseltamivir group and the placebo group. The main adverse events following test drug were gastrointestinal symptoms, neurological symptoms and rashes.

CONCLUSIONOseltamivir was effective and well tolerated as treatment of early naturally acquired influenza.

In recent years, with the rapid development of rigid ureteroscopy and flexible ureteroscope lithotripsy in the field of urology, great changes have been made in the treatment of urinary calculi. Although flexible ureteroscope lithotripsy is easy to be damaged and expensive to maintain, it has high technical requirements for doctors, but it does not need to establish other traumatic channels, but uses the natural cavity of human urinary system, It has been paid more and more attention by urologists and has a good development prospect. Stone free rate is an objective index to judge the efficiency of flexible ureteroscope lithotripsy. The stone free rate and treatment after flexible ureteroscope lithotripsy have always been a difficult problem. Many scholars at home and abroad have studied the influencing factors of stone free rate after flexible ureteroscope lithotripsy, studies have shown that large stone load, hard stone composition, narrow angle of renal pelvis and calyceal and severe hydronephrosis are the main risk factors leading to the reduction of postoperative one-time stone free rate. In this paper, the research results in this field at home and abroad will be summarized.

Herpes simplex virus (HSV), including HSV-1 and HSV-2, is an important pathogen that can cause many diseases. Usually these diseases are recurrent and incurable. After lytic infection on the surface of peripheral mucosa, HSV can enter sensory neurons and establish latent infection during which viral replication ceases. Moreover, latent virus can re-enter the replication cycle by reactivation and return to peripheral tissues to start recurrent infection. This ability to escape host immune surveillance during latent infection and to spread during reactivation is a viral survival strategy and the fundamental reason why no drug can completely eradicate the virus at present. Although there are many studies on latency and reactivation of HSV, and much progress has been made, many specific mechanisms of the process remain obscure or even controversial due to the complexity of this process and the limitations of research models. This paper reviews the major results of research on HSV latency and reactivation, and discusses future research directions in this field.

Objective:To compare the embedding anastomosis with the intermittent eversion anastomosis on the pancreatic fistula rates after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD).Methods:The clinical data of 116 patients who underwent LPD at the Center Hospital of Xianyang City affiliated to Xi' an Jiaotong University Health Science Center from March 2016 to March 2020 were retrospectively studied. According to the method of pancreaticojejunostomy used, these patients were divided into the following two groups: the embedding anastomosis group ( n=55) and the intermittent eversion anastomosis group ( n=61). The duration of pancreaticojejunostomy, bilioenterostomy and gastrointestinal anastomoses, and the amounts of intraoperative blood loss and postoperative complication rates were compared between the two groups. Results:Of 116 patients in this study, there were 67 males and 49 females, with a median age of 61.5 years. No perioperative death occurred in the 2 groups. The operation time, digestive tract reconstruction time and pancreaticojejunostomy time in the embedded anastomosis group were (260±20), (65±15) and (35±15) min, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the intermittent eversion anastomosis group (305±25), (81±25) and (45±12) min, (all P<0.05). The grade A and B pancreatic fistula rates in the embedded anastomosis group were 27.3%(15/55) and 21.8%(12/55), respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the intermittent eversion anastomosis group [8.2%(5/61) and 6.6%(4/61)], (all P<0.05). The postoperative hospital stay in the intermittent eversion anastomosis group (10.3±1.1) d was significantly lower than that in the embedding anastomosis group [(15.2±3.2) d, P<0.05]. Conclusion:In LPD, when compared with embedded pancreaticojejunostomy, intermittent eversion pancreaticojejunostomy reduced the postoperative pancreatic fistula rate and shortened the postoperative hospital stay.
