Objective To investigate the value of peripheral blood for the prognosis of patients withbloodstream infection. Methods A retrospective analysis of patients with bloodstream infection was conducted inthe intensive care unit (ICU) of Mianyang Central Hospital of Sichuan from January 2012 to October 2016. Accordingto the 28-day survival, the patients were divided into survival group and death group. The white blood cell (WBC),neutrophils count (NEU), lymphocyte count (LYM), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte count (MO), eosinophilcount (EO), basophil count (BA), hemoglobin (Hb), platelet count (PLT) and procalcitonin (PCT) in peripheral bloodwere recorded when patients were diagnosed with blood infection. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC),Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression were used to evaluate the value of these risk factors for predictingthe outcome. Results 305 patients were enrolled. 182 patients survived while 123 patients died during the 28-dayperiod. ① There was no significant difference in gender, age and comorbidities between the two groups. There was nosignificant difference in infection rate between the two groups except for fungal infection rate. The fungal infection ratein the death group was significantly higher than that in the survival group (9.8% vs. 3.3%, P = 0.019). ② The LYM,MO, EO and PLT in the death group were significantly lower than those in the survival group [LYM (×109/L):0.58 (0.29, 0.93) vs. 0.76 (0.44, 1.23), MO (×109/L): 0.47 (0.19, 0.80) vs. 0.58 (0.30, 0.94), EO (×109/L):0.00 (0.00, 0.01) vs. 0.03 (0.01, 0.09), PLT (×1012/L): 89 (47, 148) vs. 126 (82, 186), all P < 0.05]. The NLR in the death group was significantly higher than that in the survival group [17.09 (7.60, 33.51) vs. 12.86 (6.51, 24.85), P < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in the WBC, NEU, BA, Hb and PCT between the two groups. ③ It was shown by ROC curve analysis that the maximum area under the ROC curve (AUC) of EO was 0.755. When the best cut-off value was 0.015×109/L as a predictor of death in 28 days, the sensitivity was 80.3%, and specificity was 64.7%. ④ It was shown by survival analysis that the 28-day survival rate in the patients with EO < 0.015×109/L was significantly lower than that of patients with EO > 0.015×109/L [38.3% (62/162) vs. 83.9% (120/143), χ 2 = 56.999, P = 0.000]. ⑤ It was shown by Cox regression that EO was the independent factor for 28-day survival (β = 1.466, χ 2 = 39.535, P = 0.000). Risk of death was 4.331 times greater in patients with EO < 0.015×109/L than in those with EO > 0.015×109/L [hazard ratio (HR) = 4.331, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 2.743-6.840]. Conclusions Compared to other parameters in peripheral blood, EO has the best correlation with the prognosis of bloodstream infection. EO is the independent prognostic predictor for 28-day survival.

Objective To discuss the pathogenesis of cerebral hemorrhage in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods From Jan.2002 to Dec.2004all the 261 hemodialysis patients in changai Hospital were divided into two groups on the basis of with or without cerebral hemorrhage :(1)the control group,(2)the group of cerebral hemorrhage.Clinical data of 261 hemodialysis patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results In the group of cerebral hemorrhage,the incidence of high blood pressure was 81.1%:the blood pressure after medical therapy not up to standard was 83.8%;the usage of ordinary heparin was 78.4%;the average RRF was(3.8?1.9)and those of the control group were 62.5%,52.7%,52.7% and(7.1?3.3).There were significant differences between the two groups.Conclusion The maintenance hemodialysis patients with cerebral hemorrhage result from multiple factors.Positive control of the blood pressure,selection of appropriate anticoagulant and protection of RRF have important clinical significance.

Objective To investigate antimicrobial resistance of clinical isolates from 15 hospitals submitted to Guangzhou Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance (GSAR) in 2007,and to learn the feature of bacterial resistance in Guangzhou.Methods Disc diffusion test (K-B methods) was employed to study the antimicrobial resistance.Results Of 18 500 clinical isolates,Gram negative bacilli and Gram positive cocci accounted for 68.4% and 31.6%,respectively,and 45.7% isolates in Gram negative bacilli belonged to non-fermentative bacilli.The detection rotes of methiciHin-resistant strains was 55.9% in Staphylococcus aureus and 75.9% in coagulase negative Staphylococcus.All of the Staphylococcus pneumoniae isolates were penicillin-susceptible (PSSP) according to 2008 CLSI criterion.One strains of Enterobacter faecium were identified as vancomycin-resistance (VRE).The resistant rates of Enterobacter to imipenem and merpenem were the lowest.The prevalence of ESBLs-producing strains in Enterobacter coli and Klebsiella spp.isolates was 43.8% and 39.8%,respectively.Against all the ESBLs strains in Enterobacter coli and Klebsiella spp,meropenem,imipenem,cefoperazone/sulbactam,and piperacillin/tazobactam showed the lowest resistant rates,ranging from 0 to 14.1%,20.4%,24.4% and 25.4% isolates of Pseudomonas aernginosa were resistant to efoperazone/sulbactam,piperacillin/tazobactam and meropenem,while 75.6%,72.4% and 63.2% isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were susceptible to piperacillin/tazobactam,meropenem and cefoperazone/sulbactam,respectively.The resistance rates of Acinetobacter spp.to cefoperazone/sulbactam and meropenem were 2.6% and 5.1%,respectively.Some panresistant isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5.5%) and Ac/naobacter baumannii (1.5%) emerged.The resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aeinetobacter baumannii isolated from sputum sample was higher than those from blood sample.Conclusions The increase of isolated rates of non-fermentative Gram-negative bacilli and the emerging bacterial resistance and oandrug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii warrants further enbancing the local surveillance of bacterial resistance and characterization of panresistance mechanism to inform the rational use of anfimicrobial agents and containment of bacterial resistance.

Objective: To investigate the changes of TRPM8 expression in dorsal root ganglion(DRG) in the rat model of chronic constriction injury(CCI) of the sciatic nerve. Methods: Seventy-two male SD rats weighing 250~280 g were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 36 each): group I (CCI) and group II (sham operation). The threshold of cold hyperalgesia, heat hyperalgesia and mechanical hyperalgesia were measured before operation (baseline) and at 1, 4, 7, 10 and 14 d after operation. Six rats were killed at each time point in each group. The L5 DRGs ipsilateral to nerve injury were dissected out for determination of transient receptor potential melastatin 8(TRPM8) by immunohistochemical assay. Results: The thresholds of cold, thermal and mechanical stimuli started to decrease at 4 d after CCI in operation group and maintained at a relatively low level until the end of experiment. The cold and thermal hyperalgesia peaked at 10 d after operation and mechanical hyperalgesia at 14 d. Immunohistochemical assay demonstrated that expression of TRPM8 were increased in L5DRG on the operated side significantly at 4 d after CCI and reached the peak at 10 d and was maintained at a high level until the end of experiment. Conclusion: The upregulation of TRPM8 in DRG involved in the mechanism of neuropathic pain.

There are many subjects related to anesthesiology and the band between anesthesiology and clinical practicevery is close. So students can not be proficient in anesthesiology by traditional teaching methods. The use of three-dimensional case teaching method in anaesthesiology teaching is a good attemptment. three-dimensional case teaching method integrate case method, multimedia technology and clinical case. It can help medical students analyze and solve clinical problems, improvetheir academic performance and enhance their clinical basic skills.

Objective To compare the mid- and long-term results of tricuspid valve (TV) repair with or without an annuloplasty ring. Methods Two hundred seventy-seven patients underwent TV repair at our division (Sep. 2001 to Sep. 2008) ,of which 203 had, predominantly, a De Vega or Kay procedure (non-ring group) and 74had an annuloplasty with an artificial ring (ring group). TV pathology mainly was functional (secondary) and several with rheumatic leaflets involvement. Concomitant procedures consisted of mitral valve surgery in all patients,aortic valve surgery in 81 ,and coronary bypass in 19. Clinical and echocardiographic data followed for 1.5 to 3.5years were obtained. Results Postoperationally,the mid-term(1.5 years) follow-up was 100% completed and the long-term follow-up for 3. 5 years was 89. 9%. The recurrence of TV regurgitation (TR) of moderate and lower degree was not significantly different(χ2 = 1.3128, P= 0.26) in the 1.5 years follow-up between the two group,whereas the recurrence of TR of moderate to severity degree was significantly less in the ring group (χ2 =5. 8159,P =0.023).In the long term follow up,the TR in the ring group (25%) was significantly lower than that of 15% in the non-ring group (χ2 = 4. 9328, P = 0.036) . There are higher proportion of patients developing to moderate TR in the non ring group(34%) than in the ring group (10%) (χ2 =7. 9120,P =0.005). The TR developed fast in the ring group,increasing from 18% at 1.5 years follow up to 10% at 3.5 years follow up (χ2 = 2. 1327, P = 0.016),whereas it was relatively stable in the non-ring group,with 7% at 1.5 year follow up and 10% at 3.5 year follow up. Conclusions Placement of an annuloplasty ring in patients undergoing TV repair could remarkably improved the mid and long terum outcome. In clinic practice, we should be more positive to the functional TR and prefer to the procedure with annuloplasty ring.

Objective To study the effects of different type of parathyroid damage to the postoperative functional recovery of parathyroid,through establish an animal model by simulating total thyroidectomy and parathyroid damage during surgical operation.Methods Experimental rabbits for the study were randomly divided into A,B,C,D four groups (n =8),Group A (control group):simple exposure,exploration thyroid and parathyroid;group B (vascular injury group):total thyroidectomy and ligation bilateral parathyroid blood supply but keep the surrounding membrane;Group C (membrane damage group):total thyroidectomy and damage membrane but reservations blood supply.Group D (composite damage group):total thyroidectomy plus membrane and blood both damage;All animals were monitored of serum calcium and PTH,preoperative 1 days and postoperative 1 st day,3rd day,5th day,7t day;cut the parathyroid HE staining to observed survival of parathyroid tissue and pathology damage when 7th day after operation.Results (1) Animals in each group preoperative serum calcium and PTH were no significant difference (P ＞0.05);(2)Group A postoperative serum calcium decreased,but at 5th day returned to preoperative level (P ＞ 0.05);Group B and C postoperative 1st day,3rd day,5th day serum calcium decreased significantly(P ＜ 0.05)and to the lowest at 1 d and then gradually recovered,but group C faster recovered than group B (P ＜ 0.05);Group D postoperative 1 st day,3rd day serum calcium continued to decline significantly (P ＜ 0.05);(3) Group A postoperative serum PTH decreased,but at 7th days returned to preoperative level (P ＞ 0.05).Group B and C postoperative 1st day,3rd day,5th days serum PTH decreased significantly(P ＜0.05)and to the lowest at 1 d and then gradually recovered,but from postoperative 3rd day group C faster recovered than group B(P ＜ 0.05);Group D postoperative 1 st day,3rd day serum PTH continued to decline significantly (P ＜ O.05);(4) Pathology results:Group A parathyroid filled with chief cells and a small amount of vacuolar changes (5％ to 10％);Group B parathyroid hemorrhage,necrosis (40％ to 50％),part of the cell degeneration (30％ to 40％),center with fibrosis,seen granuloma and hyperplasia of parathyroid tissue in surrounding;Group C parathyroid bleeding (10％ to 20％),part of the cell degeneration (10％ to 20％);Group D parathyroid severe necrosis,almost no normal parathyroid tissue,significant fibrosis,less residual parathyroid tissue was scattered.Conclusions (l) The recover of Parathyroid function is influenced by the type of parathyroid in situ injury during thyroidectomy,composite damage of blood supply and membrane of parathyroid is the most serious,parathyroid ischemia necrosis,the function can not be restored,pure blood supply damaged,some can restore function,and the parathyroid gland with vascular pedicle can be recovered quickly.(2) Severe blood supply and membrane damaged,and even free parathyroid should be transplanted immediately during operation.
