Objective To investigate colonization of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs)in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)newborns on admission.Methods From April to November 2013,293 newborns who admitted to NICU of a hospital were screened for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)by nasal and throat swabs and for extended-spectrumβ-lactamases (ESBLs)bacteria and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE)by anal swabs.Results Of 293 newborns,61 were detected MDROs (20.82%).The positive rate of MDROs screening in newborns aged <3 days(5.92%)was lower than those aged <3-6 days(37.74%)and 7-28 days (43.66%), the difference was significant (P =0.000).The major colonized MDROs were ESBLs-producing bacteria(83.60%), the major colonized site was anus(88.52%).Conclusion Neonatal anus and stool are important sources of MDROs in NICU;more attention should be paid to colonization screening for MDROs by anal swabs in newborns aged >3 days,and appropriate isolation measures should be taken for positive screening patients to prevent the transmission of MDROs.

Objective To study and design a new algorithm of QT interval measurement based on multi-scale morphological derivative transform(MMDT) according to the demands of mobile monitoring platform.Methods After the MMDT of ECG signals by inducing a triangle and a short line as a pair of structure elements,they were classified into four types by their morphological characteristics and the optimal strategy for each type was described to detect the onset of Q-wave.By introducing the "wing" function,two referenced points of T peak were picked out,which was helpful to locate the peak and offset of T wave,and improve the precision and recognition rate of MMDT method when detecting the bifid T wave(90.9%)and biphasic T wave(86.7%).Results Eighty data records from CSE database were used to evaluate the availability.By contrast with the wavelet transform method,the statistical results showed that the proposed algorithm had generally less error and smaller standard deviation especially for abnormal-phase T wave.Conclusion Compared with those algorithms based on wavelet transform and self-adaptive threshold techniques,our algorithm needs less empirical parameters and calculation.It is also suitable for mobile monitoring and HOLTER system,and has a wide prospect of application.

Aim To investigate the effects of breviscapine(Bre)on Na+,K+-ATPase activity of proximal tubule(PT) and its renal protection in early diabetic rats. Methods The rats were divided into three groups: diabetic model (DM group), Bre treatment (Bre group) and normal control (NC group). Rats were administrated with Bre(20 mg?kg-1?d-1, ip) in Bre group, with normal saline(ip) in DM and NC groups for four weeks after diabetes induction with streptozotocin (STZ 65 mg?kg-1, ip) in Bre and DM groups. The urine and blood samples were collected from two intra-ureteral cannulas and the heart, respectively, under anesthesia four weeks after diabetes induction. After one of the renal arteries being perfused, the renal cortex was incubated and PT segments were microdissected freehand under microscope before the Na+,K+-ATPase activity in the segments were assessed by liquid scintillation counter. The blood glucose, levels of creatinine in serum and in urine were assayed. The microalbumin , ?2-microglobulin(?2-MG) of urine and endogenous digitalis-like substance (EDLS) of serum were measured respectively by radioimmunoassay. Results The PT Na+,K+-ATPase activity in NC group was(959.11?117.35) pmolPi?mm-1?h-1, and that in DM group was significant higher for (1893.53?383.90) pmolPi?mm-1?h-1 than it(P

Objective: To compare the advantages and disadvantages of three staining methods of HBV. Methods: Normal Liver tissue and HBV-infected, HCV-infected ,or dually infected (HBV and HCV) liver tissues were selected for this study. Formalin- fixed, paraffin-embedded sections(4 ?m) were prepared. Each of the liver tissue specimens was detected by three staining methods, including immunohistochemical methods ,Shikata’s orcein stain and Victoria blue stain,respectively. Results: In the three methods , all of six HBV -infected cases showed intense staining, and three cases with dual infection (HBV and HCV) were weakly positive. However, both normal and HCV-infected liver tissues showed no staining. HBsAg stained dark brown with Immunohistochemical stain; HBsAg containing ground-glass hepatocytes stained magenta with Shikata’s orcein stain; HBsAg stained blue with Victoria blue. Conclusion: Each of three methods has its own advantages and disadvantages: high specificity and sensitivity, but high cost for immunohistochemical methods;complicated and overelabrate procedure for preparation of solutions, lower specificity and sensitivity,but low cost, for special staining methods.

The nitrate-N content in KNO3 solution and soil was rapidly predicted using techniques of mid-infrared spectroscopy, in which 15 NO-3 and 14 NO-3 were distinguished and predicted. The results showed that the characteristic band of nitrate in solution and soil was 1200-1500 cm-1 , and compared with 14 NO-3 , the red shift of characteristic band of 15 NO-3 was about 35 cm-1 . In the characteristic band of nitrate, absorption band increased with the nitrate nitrogen concentration with less interference absorption. The linear regression was made between the first principal component of characteristic band and nitrate-N content, and correlation coefficient was more than 0 . 9840 , indicating that the technique of mid-infrared attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy could be applied for rapid monitoring of nitrate in solution and soil. Meanwhile, based on the red shift characteristic of 15 NO-3 absorption band, the method of partial least squares were involved to predict the nitrate-N of different N-isotope labeled in solution and soil, resulting that all the prediction models reached excellent levels. For 14 NO3-N and 15 NO3-N in solution, the correlation coefficients ( R2 ) were 0. 9980 and 0. 9982 respectively, and ration performance to standard deviations ( RPD ) were 6. 44 and 4. 76, respectively. While for 14 NO3-N and 15 NO3-N in soil, the correlation coefficients ( R2 ) were 0. 9794 and 0. 9679, and RPD were 5. 75 and 4. 78, respectively. Therefore, the technique of mid-infrared attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy can be applied for rapid monitoring different N-isotope labeled nitrate in solution and soil, to provide a new in situ and fast time method to study nitrification process in soil.
