Objective To determine the influencing factors on prognosis of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants with a gestational age of 28-32 weeks.Methods Forty-six cases of NEC (Bell stage Ⅱ or Ⅲ) with a gestational age of 28-32 weeks admitted to Bayi Children's Hospital from January,2009 to January,2013 were analyzed retrospectively.Twenty-nine cases were assigned to the cured group and 17 cases were assigned to the poor prognosis group according to prognosis.General conditions,laboratory results,treatment and complications in the two groups were analyzed.The Chi-square test,Fisher's exact test and univariate analysis of variance were used for statistical analysis.Results There were no statistically significant differences regarding gender,average birth weight and mean age of onset between the two groups [average birth weight (1 410.52±281.59) g vs (1 266.47±280.32) g and mean age of onset:(20.79± 10.61) d vs (16.71 ±9.41) d for the cured group versus the poor prognosis group,respectively].There were no difference in changes in white blood cells and platelets between the two groups.There were six cases of positive blood culture in the poor prognosis group and none in the cured group.There were no differences in procedures such as blood transfusion and ibuprofen administration [41.4％ (12/29) vs 11/17 and 6.9％ (2/29) vs 5/17,both P＞0.05,in the cured group versus the poor prognosis group,respectively].There were significant differences in the use of Bifidobacterium between the two groups [69.0％ (20/29) vs 5/17,x2=6.758,P=0.009].Fourteen cases in the cured group and 10 cases in the poor prognosis group underwent surgery,and all 10 cases in the poor prognosis group died.Seven cases underwent repeated surgery,one infant in the cured group and six infants in the poor prognosis group and a significant difference was observed (Fisher's exact,P=0.007).A statistically significant difference in granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) treatment was observed between the two groups,where 15 cases in the cured group and three cases in the poor prognosis group were treated with G-CSF (x2=5.225,P＜0.05).Statistically significant differences in septicemia,patent ductus arteriosus,gastrointestinal perforation,multiple organ failure (MOF),disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) and septic shock were observed between the two groups [septicemia:44.8％ (13/29) vs 15/17,x2=8.478; patent ductus arteriosus:17.2％ (5/29) vs 9/17,x2=6.451; gastrointestinal perforation:3.4％ (1/29) vs 6/17; MOF:0.0％ (0/29) vs 5/17; DIC:0.0％ (0/29) vs 3/17; septic shock:3.4％ (1/29) vs 6/17,all P＜0.05 in the cured group versus the poor prognosis group,respectively).Conclusions Oral intestinal microbial preparations before the onset of NEC and G-CSF therapy after the onset of NEC may be protective factors in improving the prognosis of NEC,while patent ductus arteriosus,septicemia,gastrointestinal perforation,MOF,DIC and septic shock are risk factors.Emphasis should be placed on the administration of intestinal microbial agents,prevention of infection and treatment of complications.

Objective To investigate the effect of ulinastatin on postoperative cardiac troponin I ( cTnI) in patients underwent carotid endarterectomy ( CEA) under general anesthesia. Methods Forty patients with severe symptomatic carotid artery stenosis underwent unilateral CEA under general anesthesia from January 2011 to March 2012 were divided into either a ulinastatin group or a control group according to a random number table ( n=20 in each group) . Patients in the ulinastatin group received 500 000 U of ulinastatin via veins before induction of anesthesia. The patients in the control group were given the same amount of isotonic saline. The serum concentrations of cardiac troponin I ( cTnI ) were detected before surgery and at day 1,2,and 3 after procedure. Myocardial injury was defined as the cTnI peak concentration>0. 04μg/L . Results The levels of serum cTnI before procedure and at day 1,2,and 3 after procedure in the ulinastatin group were median (M) 0. 00 (0. 00-0. 03) μg/L,0. 07 (0. 00-1. 45) μg/L,0. 01 (0. 00-1. 21)μg/L,and 0. 05 (0. 00-0. 89)μg/L,respectively;those in the control group were 0. 00 (0. 00-0. 01)μg/L,0. 00 (0. 00-1. 42)μg/L,0. 00 (0. 00-1. 39)μg/L,and 0. 00 (0. 00-1. 24)μg/L, respectively. At day 1 after procedure,6 patients ( 30%) in the control group and 11 ( 55%) in the ulinastatin group occurred myocardial injury. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P<0. 05). In all the patients with the increased cTnI levels,the peak cTnI occurred at the first day after procedure,however,they did not reach the level ( >1. 5μg/L) of indicating patients occurring myocardial infarction. Conclusion Ulinastatin may not decrease the postoperative serum cTnI levels in CEA patients under general anesthesia. For whether to the CEA patients have myocardial protective effect,more samples are needed to be confirmed.

Objective To investigate nurses' organizational career management and job satisfaction in the third-grade class-A hospital,and analyze the relationship between them.Methods A total of 576nurses were recruited by two-stage stratified random sampling method from four third-grade class-A hospitals.They were investigated with Nurses' Organizational Career Management Questionnaire and Job Satisfaction Scale.Results The mean score of nurses' organizational career management and job satisfaction was(2.94±0.52)and(3.32±0.46).There were significant differences on the scores of job satisfaction in nurses with different ages,nursing age,shift,posts,professional tifles,departments,monthly income and type of hospitals.Nurses' organizational career management was positively correlated to job satisfaction.After controlling for the demographic variables,the overall state of organizational career management could explain 34.2 percent for the variances of job satisfaction respectively.Conclusions It is suggested to pay close attention to nurses' organizational career management and take effective career management measures to improve nurses' job satisfaction so as to stabilize the nursing team and retain the excellent nurses.

The blood concentrations of the pharmacodynamic substances of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) are usually very low. How can they exert pharmacological actions, in which forms (original form, metabolite or the both) do they exert the actions. To answer these questions, we proposed a new concept ofEffective Formsof pharmacodynamic substances of TCMs and a hypothesis of additive effect of multiple constituents of TCMs. The hypothesis includes that the aggregate or summation of Effective Forms of pharmacodynamic substances of TCMs is the core material base of the effi-cacy of TCMs, and the additive effect of the blood concentrations of different Effective Forms is one part of the action mechanism. The additive effect of the different Effective Forms of a TCMs means an additive effect of numerous con-stituents or/and metabolites on a same target, and therefore the efficacy brought by the addition of the concentrations of all these compounds, which different from the synergy effect of multi-constituents on multi-targets. Studies on the disposition of TCMs showed that a constituent can be biotransformed to many metabolites (up to more than 50 metabolites);different constituents can produce the same metabolites;many metabolites (up to 10 compounds for each metabolite) are isomers or homologues; some constituents can be converted to each other in vivo; and some metabolites are bioactive. These com-pounds having the similar structure are likely to have the same pharmacological effects on the same target, which could provide experimental evidences for the concept ofEffective Formsand the hypothesis ofAdditive Effect. We suggest that the Effective Forms and Additive Effects of the pharmacodynamic substances of TCMs should be extensively investi-gated in the future, and the results of such researches will help us further understand the pharmacodynamic substances and action mechanism of TCMs, and give a new explanation 'Toxicities Scattering Effect' for 'Why the toxicities of TCMs are low', and propose a new strategy for quality control of TCMs.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound miniature probe(UMP)examination in tumor invasion(T staging) and local lymphatic node metastasis(N staging) for colorectal carcinoma. Methods Preoperative UMP examinations(12 MHz) were performed on 53 patients with colorectal carcinoma undergoing surgeries.The diagnosis accuracy of UMP examination in T and N staging was determined by comparison of the results of operation exploration and histopathologic findings. Results The accuracy in T staging for colorectal carcinoma was 86% with UMP examination,and that for early stage colorectal carcinoma was 100%.The accuracy,sensitivity and specificity in N staging for colorectal carcinoma were 81%,77%,and 84%,respectively with UMP examination. Conclusion UMP examination works well in determining T stage of colorectal carcinoma,especially for early stage colorectal carcinoma and those with tumor stenosis.

Objective Objective To study the effect of adenovirus mediating Smad 7 gene regulated by radiation via Egr-1 on the primary tumor and lung metastasis in C57BL mice implanted with Lewis lung cancer.Methods The radio-inducible elements from the Egr-1 gene promoter were inserted upstream to a cDNA encoding Smad7 and integrated into a replication-defective adenovirus to generate recombinant adenovirus(AD.Egr-Smad 7).270 mice implanted with Lewis lung cancer in the hind legs were used and the experiment was started when the transplanted tumor diameter reached 0.8 to 1.0cm.Then three investigations were undertaken,each demanding 90 mice implanted with Lewis lung cancer respectively.To each group,90 mice models were randomized into 3 groups: the normal control group;the NS control group;and the implanted AD.Egr-Smad 7 group.Every 6 mice in each group were irradiated by different single dose to study the following: 1.The maximal and minimal diameters of the tumor were recorded to observe the tumor growth tendency,the tumor growth delay and the mice survival time,2.The incidence of lung metastasis two weeks after the radiation was recorded.3.The incidence of lung metastasis when the tumor volume was four times as large as that at the beginning of radiation was recorded.Results The adenovirus mediating Smad 7 gene expression regulated by irradiation via Egr-1 in C57BL mice implanted with Lewis lung cancer was able to inhibit the progression of the primary tumor and prolong the survival of the mice significantly as compared with the control group(P0.05).Conclusions The gene expression of AD.Egr-Smad 7 regulated by radiation is not risky in promoting the local progression and distant metastasis of Lewis lung cancer in mice.On the other hand,the gene expression of AD.Egr-Smad 7 regulated by radiation could inhibit the progression of the primary tumor and prolong the survival time of the mice significantly.It is safe,to some extent,of using AD.Egr-Smad 7 to block the signal transduction of TGF-?locally as a novel strategy for gene therapy aiming at the prevention of radiation-induced lung
