1.Progress in the diagnosis and treatment of non-responding community acquired pneumonia
Tianjin Medical Journal 2016;44(1):5-8
Non-responding pneumonia describes the situation, in which an inadequate clinical response is present de-spite antibiotic treatment. The incidence of treatment failure in community acquired pneumonia (CAP) can range up to 31%. At present, the diagnosis and treatment of this kind of disease remain a great challenge to CAP. For this reason, several stud-ies have attempted to establish risk factors and new strategies for the treatment of non-responding pneumonia. This article re-views the progress of the pathogeny and treatment of non-responding CAP.

Chinese Journal of Infection Control 2015;(12):843-845
Objective To evaluate the effect of comprehensive intervention measures on reducing the bacterial colonization of the intensive care unit (ICU)bedside notebook computer keyboards and mice.Methods According to bacterial contamination of ICU bedside notebook computer keyboards and mice,comprehensive intervention meas-ures were taken (including wiping computer keyboards and mice with alcohol twice a day,intensifying hand hy-giene,and monitoring hand-washing compliance),specimens of keyboards and mice were taken,bacterial detection results were analyzed.Results Before intervention,bacterial counts of keyboards and mice of 8 specimens were all>5 CFU/cm2 ,detection rate of Bacillus subtilis was 64.71 %,Micrococcus ,coagulase negative staphylococcus, Acinetobacter baumannii ,and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 17.65%-58.82%,Escherichia coli and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus were both 5.88%.After comprehensive intervention measures were taken,bacterial counts of only two specimens of keyboards and mice were >5 CFU/cm2 ,the qualified rate of monitoring result after intervention was significantly higher than before intervention (88.24% vs 52.94%;χ2 =5.10,P <0.05).Conclusion Compre-hensive intervention measures can significantly reduce bacterial count on ICU bedside notebook computer keyboards and mice,and decrease the occurrence of healthcare-associated infection.
3.Solid tumor cell apoptosis induced by arsenic trioxide is related to generation of reactive oxygen species
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1989;0(06):-
AIM: To study the effects of As_2O_3 on the growth of human cervical carcinoma cell line, HeLa cells, human pancreatic carcinoma cell line, AsPC-1 cells, and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cells. METHODS: HeLa cells and AsPC-1 cells were treated with various concentrations of As_2O_3. The effects of As_2O_3 on HeLa cells and AsPC-1 cells survival and apoptosis were determined by MTT assay and light microscope, and cellular ROS was also measured by fluorometer. RESULTS: After being treated with 2 ?mol/L As_2O_3 for 48 h, the survival of HeLa cells was decreased, a marked apoptosis characteristic was observed in time- and dose-dependent manner. However, the survival of AsPC-1 cells markedly decreased after being treated with even 1?mol/L As_2O_3 for 24 h. When we measured the cellular hydrogen peroxide (H_2O_2) level, we found that the H_2O_2 level in HeLa cells started to rise after being incubated with As_2O_3 for 2 h, and sustained increased, reached the peak of H_2O_2 level at 8 h, then it began to decrease. While the H_2O_2 level in AsPC-1 cells started to rise at 2 h, reached the highest point at 5 h, after which it began to descend. At 12 h, the H_2O_2 level in HeLa cells and AsPC-1 cells were similar to that of the control group. CONCLUSION: The molecular mechanisms underlying As_2O_3 -induced apoptosis in cells derived from the solid tumors may be related to the cellular ROS level.

BACKGROUND:The development of stem cel transplantation and genetic modification technology provides new ideas and methods for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the therapeutic effects of transplantation of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)-transfected human amniotic mesenchymal stem cels in pulmonary hypertension rats. METHODS:Human amniotic mesenchymal stem cels were cultured and purified in vitro, and then transfected with adenovirus-medicated hTERT. Sixty-six adult Wistar rats were enroled to prepare pulmonary hypertension models through intraperitoneal injection of 60 mg/kg monocrotaline and then 63 model rats were randomly assigned into three groups: model group treated with transplantation of 1 mL of L-DMEMvia the jugular vein, cel transplantation group treated with transplantation of 1 mL of untransfected human amniotic mesenchymal stem cel suspension, and transfection group treated with transplantation of 1 mL of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cel suspension transfected with hTERT. Hemodynamic changes, plasma endothelin-1 level, hypertrophy index of the right ventricle and myocardial cel apoptosis were compared among different groups at 3 weeks after transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 3 weeks of treatment, there were no differences in the arterial blood pressure of the three groups (P > 0.05); however, the systolic pressure of the pulmonary artery and mean pulmonary arterial pressure were significantly lower in the transfection group than the model group and cel transplantation group (P < 0.05). Hypertrophy index of the right ventricle had no difference among the three groups (P> 0.05). The level of plasma endothelin-1 was significantly lower in the transfection group than the model group and cel transplantation group (P < 0.05). Apoptosis in myocardial cels was significantly reduced in the transfection group compared with the model group and cel transplantation group (P< 0.05). Experimental findings suggest that the transplantation of hTERT-transfected human amniotic mesenchymal stem cels can improve the hemodynamic levels in pulmonary blood vessels of pulmonary hypertension rats to protect vascular endothelial cels and reduce myocardial cel apoptosis.

Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2016;23(6):16-18
Theory of “combination of disease with syndrome” has been widely used in the establishment and evaluation of experimental animal models. The ulcerative colitis animal models with spleen-kidney yang deficiency pattern were established based on the theory according to complex factors. These models were not only required to show the features of “disease” and “syndrome” at the macro characterization, but also combined with microscopic biological indicators and prescription test so as to make comprehensive evaluation. But the problems in the establishment and evaluation of “combination of disease with syndrome” models hindered further development, such as the weak connection between disease and syndrome, multiplicity of models, and limitations in evaluation standards. Therefore, further improvement in the establishment and evaluation of models will make great sense to better ulcerative colitis animal models with spleen-kidney yang deficiency pattern.

Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare kind of clinical disease,mainly characterized by mucus exocrine cells grown in the peritoneum or omentum sticky which caused lots of jelly-like ascites.There is no obvious clinical specificity performance for pseudomyxoma peritonei,which is always misdiagnosed.By enhancing the awareness of pseudomyxoma peritonei,improving the relevant checks and reasonably extracting specimens for pathological examination can improve diagnosing rate of pseudomyxoma peritonei.Using complete cytoreductive surgery or major debulking surgery combined with intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy help to improve the survival of patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei.
