Objective To assess the clinical application value of magnetic susceptibility-weighted imaging in cerebral vascular malformations. Methods Thirty-six patients with cerebral vascular malformations were enrolled in the study. All the patients received examination of T1WI, T2WI and SWI. SWI sequence was compared with T1WI, T2WI sequence in detecting and diagnosing cerebral vascular malformations. Results Cerebral vascular malformations were low signal in SWI sequence. Cavernous angioma, developmental venous anomalies and AVM had been found in 73,8,10 cases, respectively. The bounder of lesions was clearer, more multiple small lesions, more hair-thin pulp veins and draining veins were detected in SWI sequence. Conclusion SWI sequence has more sensitivity than T1WI and T2WI sequence in detecting the cerebral-vascular malformations. SWI sequence may become routine examination se- quence in diagnosis cerebral-vascular malformations.

Objective To develop a time saving and sensitive cell culture system based on hepatitis C virus chimera expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein(EGFP) and to facilitate the study on HCV pathogenesis and screening of anti-HCV drugs.Methods Enhanced green fluorescent protein reporter gene and a mutation V2440L that can yield higher virus titers were introduced into the C-terminus of non-structural protein 5A (NS5A) of the JFH1 viral genome by using recombinant PCR.The viral RNA was transfected into Huh7.5 cells.Viral RNA in supernatant of HCV RNA-transfected cells was determined after transfection by RT-PCR.HCV replication and infection were determined by immunofluorescence assay.IFN-α was used to evaluate the feasibility of this system for anti-HCV drugs screening.Results The viral RNA replicated efficiently in transfected cells.These cells can produce HCV-EGFP reporter virus.Viral RNA levels in supernatant were 3.06× 105 copies/ml and 7.96×106 copies/ml at 72 h and 9 d after transfection,respectively.The virus titer reached to 104 FFU/ml 9 d after transfection.The expression of EGFP was inhibited by IFN-α in a dose dependent manner in Huh7.5 cells infected by HCV-EGFP reporter virus.Conclusion The recombinant HCV JFH1-EGFP reporter gene system is a time saving,cost effective and sensitive method for studying viral replication cycles and screening of anti-HCV drugs.

OBJECTIVE To determine the distribution of bacterial flora in hospital infection and to provide laboratory(evidence) for controlling hospital infection and selecting rationally antibiotics in clinic practice.METHODS All(isolates) were identified by routine procedure.MRSA and ESBLs-producing rate of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were(examined.) RESULTS Among all these clinical infectious specimens,there were 202 strains of Gram negative bacilli,(accounting) for 40.9%(202/495);166 strains of fungi,accounting for 33.5%;621 strains of Gram positive cocci,for 20.6%(102/495).Candida albicans,E.coli,Pseudomonas aerugionosa,C.tropicalis and C.glabrata took the first five bacteria in infection.Analysis of drug resistant bacteria suggested that the isolated rate of ESBLs-producing strains in Staphylococcus aureus be 47.6%,be CNS in MRCNS 78.1% and MRSA in SA be 42.3%.CONCLUSIONS Multidrug resistance and fungus infection are the main risk factors in our hospital.We must improve means of treatment on clinical work and use antibiotic rationally to reduce the infection rate.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of obstruction of central venous catheter(CVC)in the intensive care unit(ICU). Methods One hundred and thirty-three adult patients in ICU with CVC were included in the study. The difference of the position of catheters, duration of indwelling catheters,selection of sealing solution,blood platelet(PLT)count,prothrombin time(PT),international normalized ratio(INR),activated partial thromboplatin time(APTT),thrombin time(TT)and fibrinogen(FBG)were studied between two groups of patients(with and without the obstruction of CVC).Results In 117 cases,there were no catheter obstruction,accounting for 88.0%. Catheter obstruction occurred in 16 cases,accounting for 12.0%,10 cases of which the catheters were partially blocked,accounting for 7.5%and in 6 cases completely blocked,accounting for 4.5%.There were significant differences in the duration of indwelling catheters,PLT and FBG levels between the two groups of patients(all P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the position of catheters,selection of sealing solution and PT,INR,APTT,TT level between the groups(all P>0.05).Conclusion Prolonged time of indwelling CVC,high levels of PLT and clotting fibrinogen are the risk factors of the obstruction of CVC in ICU patients.

Objective To explore cancer factor exhausted during chemotherapy intermittent for drinking, food and oxygenic sport interference to patients suffered from ovarium cancer. Method 92 patients suffered from ovarium cancer with drinking, food and oxygenic sport interference and taking self-comparison method. Simple tired Assessment Form, European cancer treatment and research origination questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ-C30) are as-sessed for the patients suffered from cancer tied and life quality situation before interference and after interference of 30 d so as to observe the tired relieving degree and life quality of the patients before and after interference. Results Using nursing interference and then the patients relive their tiredness greatly to have statistical significance (P <0.01). The comparison before and after interference and the life quality has statistic significance(P <0.01). Con-clusion The drinking, food and oxygenic sport interference can relieve the fired degree of the patients suffered from ovarium cancer effectively to improve the life quality of the patients.
