Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 2009;0(13):-
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevelance of hospital infections of sugical patients in neurosurgery department and analyze the risk factors. METHODS Retrospective survey was made for 456 operative inpatients in neurosurgery department from Jan 2007 to Dec 2008. RESULTS Among them there were totally 66 cases of hospital infections (14.3%). 82 case-times of hospital infections (17.98%)were found. The infections were found located mostly in respiratary tract infection (51.51%) and gastro-intestinal tract infection (16.66%). CONCLUSIONS Surgical patients in neurosurgery department are high-risk group of hospital infection. Normalizing nursing adminstration and strengthening monitoring are effective methods to prevent nosomial infections.

Objective To explore the relationship between the serum anticardiolipin antibody (ACA),vascular endothelial grow factor (VEGF) concentration and cognitive impairment in patients with ischemic stroke.Methods Totally 128 cases with acute ischemic stroke were admmitted in stroke unit ward of our hospital during June 2014 to December 2014.According to the score of Montreal cognitive assessnent (MoCA),128 patients with ischemic stroke were divided into groups A (53 cases with cognitive impairment) and group B (75 cases without cognitive impairment).The concentrations of serum ACA,VEGF were quantitatively determinated by ELISA.The differences of serum ACA,VEGF concentrations were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with normal cognitive function group,the cognitive impairment patients had significantly higher ACA concentration ((0.86±0.16) mg/L vs (0.52±0.08) mg/L,P<0.01),and lower VEGF concentration ((197.60±7.48) pg/ml vs (205.80±8.52) pg/ml,P<0.05).Logistic regression revealed that ACA and VEGF were independent effect factors for cognitive impairment (ACA:B =2.841,OR =0.33,95 % CI =0.118-0.926,P=0.025.V EGF:B =-1.674,OR =4.99,95% CI =1.688-4.741,P=0.034).Conclusion ACA and VEGF may play an important role in cognitive impairment after ischemic stroke.

Objective To study the hydrogen sulfide productivity by mononuclear cells in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods Mononuclear cells were extracted from peripherial blood of 60 AF patients and 30 healthy controls. Modified methylene blue method was used to evaluate the hydrogen sulfide productivity of mononuclear cells. Results Hydrogen sulfide productivity of mononuclear cells from AF patients was 92.5%higher than that from control [10.63 (8.21~14.37) μmol/(min.g protein) vs 5.52 (4.42~8.50) μmol/(min.g protein)]. Hydrogen sulfide productivity of mononuclear cells was correlated with the left atrial transverse diameter (r = 0.276,P < 0.01), while no significant correlation was found between hydrogen sulfide and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter , left atrial anterior posterior diameter , C-reaction protein etc. Conclusion Hydrogen sulfide productivity of mononuclear cells from AF patients is promoted.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of the Caprini risk assessment model combined with D-dimer in perioperative venous thromboembolic (VTE) of hysterectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 160 patients who had underwent hysterectomy in Lianjiang City Maternal and Child Health Hospital from February 2017 to February 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. During perioperative period, VTE occurred in 80 patients (VTE group), and 80 patients had no VTE (control group). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio and Youden index of Caprini risk assessment model, D-dimer level detection and Caprini risk assessment model combined with D-dimer in the diagnosis of VTE were analyzed and compared, and the diagnostic efficacy was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:The positive rates of Caprini risk assessment model and D-dimer in VTE group were significantly higher than those in control group: 87.50% (70/80) vs. 17.50% (14/80) and 90.00% (72/80) vs. 41.25% (33/80), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value, negative likelihood ratio, positive likelihood ratio and Youden index of the Caprini risk assessment model were 87.50% (70/80), 82.50% (66/80), 86.84% (66/76), 83.33% (70/84), 0.15, 0.50 and 0.70, respectively; the indexes of D-dimer were 90.00% (72/80), 58.75% (47/80), 85.45% (47/55), 68.57% (72/105), 0.17, 2.18 and 0.49, respectively; the indexes of Caprini risk assessment model combined with D-dimer were 97.50% (78/80), 52.50% (42/80), 95.45% (42/44), 67.24% (78/116), 0.05, 2.05 and 0.50, respectively. The areas under curve of Caprini risk assessment model, D-dimer and Caprini risk assessment model combined with D-dimer were 0.888, 0.877 and 0.945 (95% CI 0.833 to 0.943, 0.820 to 0.933 and 0.908 to 0.983, P < 0.01). Conclusions:Caprini risk assessment model and D-dimer have good results in the diagnosis of perioperative VTE of hysterectomy, and Caprini risk assessment model combined with D-dimer has the highest diagnostic value.

Objective To explore clinical value of the expression levels of cell surface transmembrane glycoprotein molecule 44(CD44)mRNA,cell surface transmembrane glycoprotein molecule 24(CD24)mRNA,and protein in the placenta of severe preeclampsia(SPE)patients.Methods The SPE patients who were delivered by cesarean section in the Second People's Hospital of Liaocheng from June 2019 to June 2022 were further divided into 45 patients in early onset SPE group(gestational age≤34 weeks)and 55 patients in late onset SPE group(gestational age>34 weeks)according to the different gestational age.The control group consisted of 100 normal cases in the same period.The expression of CD44 and CD24 in placenta of SPE patients was detected by fluorescent quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry,Pearson method was used to analyze the difference of their expression levels and their correlation with the clinical characteristics of SPE disease,and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of SPE.Results Compared with the control group,the expression levels of CD44 mRNA(0.55±0.12 vs 1.02±0.33)and CD24 mRNA(0.68±0.19 vs 1.05±0.11)in SPE placental tissues decreased significantly,the differences were statistically significant(t=13.385,16.853,P<0.05).The immunohistochemical staining results showed that CD44 and CD24 were mostly negative or weakly positive in the SPE group placental tissue,while they were mostly positive in the control group,the positive rates of CD44 and CD24 in the SPE placental tissue were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(χ2=9.696,14.346,P<0.05).Compared to the early onset SPE group,the expression levels of CD44(0.65±0.17 vs 0.42±0.11)and CD24(0.77±0.23 vs 0.58±0.13)mRNA in placental tissue of late onset SPE were higher,and the differences were statistically significant(t=7.830,4.932,P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the BMI,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,urinary protein,Cr,LDH and BUN were significantly increased in SPE group(t=5.360~30.241,all P<0.05).In SPE group,the gestational age was earlier,the MPV and ALB were lower,the newborn's birth length was shorter,and the body weight than control group,the differences were statistically great(t=3.232~11.109,all P<0.05).The expression of CD44 and CD24 in SPE placenta was positively correlated(r=0.698,P<0.05),the expression of CD44 in SPE placenta was positively correlated with CD24,gestational week of delivery,MPV and neonatal birth length(r=0.611,0.639,0.612,0.465,all P<0.05),and was negatively correlated with systolic blood pressure,urinary protein and LDH(r=-0.604,-0.569,-0.593,all P<0.05).The expression of CD24 was positively correlated with gestational age,MPV and newborn birth length(r=0.605,0.584,0.640,all P<0.05),and was negatively correlated with systolic blood pressure,urinary protein and LDH(r=-0.637,-0.593,-0.561,all P<0.05).The results of logistic regression analysis showed that MPV(95%CI:1.429~4.350),urinary protein(95%CI:1.529~2.709),and LDH(95%CI:1.425~3.932)were all independent risk factors for SPE(all P<0.05).High levels of CD44(95%CI:0.561~0.940)and CD24(95%CI:0.495~0.814)were independent protective factors for SPE(P<0.05).Conclusion The low expression levels of CD44 and CD24 in placenta of SPE patients are independent protective factors of SPE,which can provide direction for the follow-up treatment of SPE.
