Inadequate empirical antibiotic therapy and delayed target therapy have been demonstrated to be significantly associated with higher mortality.Because microbiological results based on the traditional culture and identification require quite a long time,empirical broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy is often initiated according to the clinical presentation,which may resulting in the development of antimicrobial resistance.One of the strategies to alter the dilemma situation is that the initial empirical therapy is adjusted to definitive therapy as early as possible,which can only be done on the basis of rapid microbiological reports.Clinical microbiology laboratories should integrate a variety of rapid detection methods,improve working process,present reports as soon as possible,and bear fast-responsibility.

The association between psychogenic illness and human endogenous viruses (HEVs), including human endogenous retrovirus and Borna disease virus, remains unclear. As the component of human genome, HEVs may become the joint of various pathogenic factors of schizophrenia (SZ), such as heredity, environment, and immunity. In this review, we strive to uncover the clinical and laboratory evidence for the roles and possible pathogenic mechanism of HEVs in the development of SZ.

Objective To explore the effect of Valpar occupational assessment training system on cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia. Methods Sixty patients with schizophrenia were randomly assigned into Valpar therapy group ( experiment group, n=30) and traditional rehabilitation therapy group ( control group, n=30) according to the order number. The duration of the treatment was six weeks. The brief assess?ment of cognition in schizophrenia ( BACS) and Wisconsin card sorting test ( WCST) were conducted as pre?and post?treatment assessment. Results There were significant differences between scores of BASC in pre?and post?treatment assessment in experiment group. More specifically, the BASC scores in symbol coding (37.50±6.50, t=-4.60, P<0.01),token movement(60.80±8.72, t=-2.54, P=0.017),verbal memory (44.40±11.29, t=-2.19, P=0.037)),and word fluency(14.23±4.35, t=-3.39, P=0.002) were signifi?cantly different when comparing pre?and post?treatment assessment outcomes. In control group,the only sig?nificant difference was found in word fluency (14.23±4.35, t=-3.39, P=0.002).In addition,response errors (57.80±10.35, t=-3.06, P=0.005) and repeat errors (34.67±6.96, t=3.41, P=0.002) in WCST in exper?iment group were significantly different in pre?and post?treatment assessment while only repeat errors (34.30 ±7.01, t=4.36, P=0.000) was different in control group. It was further discovered that scores in in symbol cod?ing( t=2.010, P=0.048),token movement ( t=2.124, P=0.038),response errors ( t=2.413, P=0.020) and repeat errors( t=2.009, P=0.047) in WCST were different between two groups. Conclusion Valpar professional evaluation train?ing system can significantly improve the cognitive function of people with schizophrenia.

Objective To observe the clinical effects of modified Shengxian decoction in the treatment of thyroid cancer postoperative hypothyroidism patients.Methods 60 patients of thyroid cancer postoperative hypothyroidism due to deficiency of spleen and kidney were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group.The control group (28 cases) was by levothyroxine sodium tablets conventional treatment,while the treatment group (32 cases) was treated with Shengxian decoction based on thecontrol group.The changes of the symptom integral and HAMD-17 were observed between two groups before and after treatment.Results After treatment,the total effective rate was 87.5％ in the treatment group and 64.3％ in the control group,the clinical effect of treatment group was significantly better than the control group (x2=4.499,P＜ 0.05).After treatment,the total score of HAMD-17 was 6.8±2.3 in the treatment group and 15.8±2.1 in the control group,both significantly improved than that before the treatment (which were 19.4±1.45 and 18.9± 1.32 respectively).Compared with the control group,the treatment group improved significantly (P＜ 0.01).Conclusion Shengxian decoction plus western medicine has remarkable curative effect in the treatment of thyroid cancer postoperative hypothyroidism,it can improve the depressive state of patients and improve the quality of life.

Objective: To investigate selected cardiovascular responses of post myocardial infarction patients(PMIP)during exercise within the context of different levels of ST segment depression. Method: Forty-six male recent PMIP performed a graded exercise test on a motorized treadmill during which time blood pressure and heart rate were measured and a 12 lead electrocardiogram (ECG) was monitored continuously. They were then subdivided into those ST segment depression ＜1.0 mm at exercise stage Ⅱ (group 1) and those who had ST segment depression ＞1.0 mm at this stage (group 2). Result: The results showed that the patients with a larger degree of ST segment depression at the given work load exhibited higher a value of rate-pressure product (RPP).Conclusion: RPP may be of particular value in estimating the clinical response to exercise when ECG monitoring is not available.
