Objective To shorten the average length of stay for single disease entities and enhance the hospitals competitiveness through hospitalization process recombination while guaranteeing the quality of its medical service. Method The method of "systematic reintegration" from the theory of operation process recombination was adopted to recombine the hospitalization process for common disease entities in general surgery. Result After the recombination, the number of discharged patients with disease entities covered by the year 2000 research increased by 14.78%, the average length of stay was shortened by 3.83 days, a reduction of 21.58%, the average hospitalization fees incurred on the patients were reduced by 108 yuan, a reduction of 1.18%, and the business income increased by 13.43%, as compared with 1999, when recombination was not yet initiated. Conclusion Hospitalization process recombination can improve the quality and efficiency of a hospitals medical service and increase its business income while its medical service resources remain unchanged.

Systemic lupus erythematosus ( SLE) is a chronic multisystem relapsing-remitting autoimmune disease, which affects human health seriously.There are numerous animal models that have long been employed in an effort to un-derstand the mechanism and treatment of SLE.Animal models of SLE were reviewed and compared in this paper, to provide references for the researchers to choose appropriate models for studying specific pathogenic mechanism and diagnostic crite-ria, searching for targeted treatment interventions and developing potential therapeutic drugs.

Objective To explore the clinical features of children infected with macrolide-resistant (MR) Mycoplasma pneumonia(MP) isolates and genetic typing of all isolates.Methods Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) of MP positive in 96 nasopharyngeal or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples were collected from patients diagnosed as MP pneumonia in the Affiliated Children's Hospital of the Capital Institute of Pediatrics from January 2013 to October 2015.Fifty-five cases were male,41 cases were female;19 cases (19.8％) were 1 to 3 years old,18 cases (18.7％) were more than 3 to 5 years old,59 cases(61.5％) were more than 5 to 13 years and 2 months old.These samples were tested for MR associated mutations in the 23S rRNA of MP,and were divided into the MR group and the macrolide-sensitive (MS) group.Furthermore,the genotype of all the isolates were performed by conducting P1-restriction fragment length polymorphism(P1-RFLP) analysis and multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) method.The clinical characteristics including the age,gender,hospitalization duration,symptoms,signs,fever duration,fever duration after macrolide therapy,white blood cell count,C-reactive protein (CRP),chest X-ray and/or chest computed tomography,which were compared between different groups.SPSS 11.5 software was used to analyze the statistical data.Statistical significance was determined at the 0.05 level of a two-tailed test.Results MR mutations were identified in the 23S rRNA gene in 81 specimens (84％),and the 96 specimens were divided into MR group(81 cases) and MS group (15 cases).There were statistical differences in fever duration,hospitalization duration,the incidence of complications and CRP level between the MR group and MS group (t =2.061,Z =-3.368,x2 =5.856,Z =-2.165,all P ＜ 0.05).There were no statistical differences in age,white blood cell count,consolidation percentage on chest radiography and fever duration after macrolide therapy(all P ＞ 0.05).All the 96 isolates were performed by adopting P1-RFLP typing,but 5 isolates were not typed successfully,while 81 cases (89.0％) isolates were typed as P1-Ⅰ and 10 isolates(11％) were typed as P1-Ⅱ c.The hospitalization duration and the fever duration after macrolide therapy in the P1-Ⅰ were longer than the P1-Ⅱ c group,and the difference was statistically significant (Z =-2.197,2.237,all P ＜ 0.05).There were no statistical differences in age,fever duration,white blood cell count,CRP level,consolidation percentage on chest radiography and the incidence of complications (all P ＞ 0.05).Seventy-three cases (90％) of P1-Ⅰ group were MR isolates,8 cases (10％) were MS isolates;3 cases (30％) of the P1-]Ⅱ c group were MR isolates,7 cases (70％) were MS isolates.The MR isolates in P1-Ⅰ group were much more than P1-Ⅱ c group.There was obvious statistical difference in the proportion of MR isolates between 2 groups (x2 =19.209,P ＜ 0.01).All the 96 isolates were performed by modified MLVA typing,82 cases(85.5％) were typed as M4-5-7-2,11 cases(11.5％) were typed as M3-5-6-2,1 case (1.0％) was typed as M4-5-5-2,and 2 cases (2.0％) were typed as M4-5-6-2.Because there were less cases of the M4-5-5-2 and M4-5-6-2 type,only the clinical data of M4-5-7-2 and M3-5-6-2 group were compared.The hospitalization duration and the fever duration after macrolide therapy in the M4-5-7-2 group were longer than the M3-5-6-2 group,and the difference was statistically significant(Z =-2.406,-4.472,all P ＜ 0.05).There were no statistical differences in age,fever duration,white blood cell count,CRP level,consolidation percentage on chest radiography and the incidence of complications(all P ＞ 0.05).Seventy-four cases (90％) of the M4-5-7-2 group were MR isolates,8 cases (10％) were MS isolates;4 cases (36％) of the M3-5-6-2 group were MR isolates,7 cases (64％) were MS isolates.The MR isolates in M4-5-7-2 group were much more than M3-5-6-2 group.There was obviously statistical difference in the proportion of MR isolates between 2 groups (x2 =17.022,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions In the MR group,the children had longer fever duration and hospitalization duration,higher incidence of complications and higher CRP level than those in the MS group.The MR rates of MP in China was high.P1-Ⅰ and M4-5-7-2 are the predominate genotypes.There may be a correlation between genotype and MR.

Aim To investigate the in vitro vasorelax-ant effect of DL0805-0, a Rho kinase inhibitor, on iso-lated rat thoracic aorta and explore its underlying mechanism. Methods Tension was measured to eval-uate the vasorelaxant effect of DL0805-0 on rat endo-thelium-intact and endothelium-denuded thoracic aorta rings. Rho kinase inhibitor fasudil, nitric oxide syn-thase inhibitor Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester ( L-NAME), guanylate cyclase inhibitor methylene blue, cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin, calcium-activa-ted potassium channel blocker tetraethyl ammonium ( TEA ) , ATP-sensitive potassium channel blocker glibenclamide and voltage-dependent potassium chan-nel blocker 4-aminopyridine ( 4-AP ) were used to il-lustrate the mechanisms of vasorelaxant effect of DL0805-0 . Results DL0805-0 exerted vasorelaxation in a dose-dependent manner in KCl (60 mmol·L-1 ) or NE ( 0. 1 μmol · L-1 ) -induced contraction. DL0805-0-induced vasorelaxation was significantly re-duced by L-NAME. However, methylene blue and in-domethacin did not significantly affect vasorelaxation of DL0805-0. In endothelium-denuded rings, TEA re-markably attenuated the vasorelaxant effect of DL0805-0 , while glibenclamide and 4-AP did not affect vasore laxation of DL0805-0 significantly. DL0805-0 also re-duced NE-induced transient contraction and inhibited contraction induced by increasing extracellular calci-um. Conclusion These results suggest that DL0805-0 induces vasorelaxation through an endothelium-depend-ent pathway. The opening of calcium-activated K+channels and blocking of Ca2+ channels in vascular smooth muscle cells may be one of the mechanisms of DL0805-0-induced vasorelaxation.

Objective To evaluate the efficiency of using nested PCR in restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis (P1-RFLP) for genotyping Mycoplasma pneumonia (M.pneumonia) in clinical specimens.Methods Based on the gene sequence of RepMp4 and RepMp2/3 in P1 gene of reference strains M129 (type 1) and FH (type 2),two sets of inner primers were designed with a HaeⅢ restriction enzyme site (GGCC).The nested PCR was set up to detect the target DNA in clinical specimens.The amplification products were mixed and digested with Hae Ⅲ enzyme.The genotypes were analyzed by comparing with various restriction maps and the results were verified by sequencing analysis.The concentration of DNA extracted from standard and clinical strains were detected by ten-fold dilution to evaluate the sensitivity of nested PCR-P1-RFLP and P1-RFLP.M.pneumonia-positive specimens isolated from Beijing in 2012 were analyzed by the nested PCR-P1-RFLP and the results were compared with those by P1-RFLP analysis.Results The nested PCR-P1-RFLP could effectively genotype M.pneumonia in clinical specimens and the results were consistent with those by sequencing analysis.The sensitivity of new assay was 103 times higher than that of the original P1-RFLP.Of the 115 M.pneumoniae positive clinical specimens,97.4％ (112/115) were type 1 and the rest were type 2.Conclusion The nested PCR-P1-RFLP shows high efficiency for genotyping of M.pneumonia in clinical specimens.It might be useful for the surveillance of M.pneumoniae infection.

This study is to investigate the effect of the effective components group of Xiaoshuantongluo (XECG) on neuronal injury induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) in primary cortical cultures isolated from SD rat cortex at day 3 and the possible mechanism. Cells were divided into control group, OGD model group and XECG group (1, 3 and 10 mg x L(-1)). The cell viability was assessed with MTT assay and the LDH release rate was measured by enzyme label kit. The cell apoptosis was analyzed using Hoechst staining. RT-PCR was applied to detect the mRNA levels of JAK2 and STAT3. Western blotting was used to detect the expressions of Bcl-2, Bax, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 proteins. Results showed that XECG resulted in an obvious resistance to oxygen-glucose deprivation-induced cell apoptosis and decrement of cell viability, decrease the cell LDH release rate. XECG could adjust the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins and increase Bcl-2/Bax ratio, up-regulate the expression of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3. In conclusion, XECG could protect against the neuronal injury cells exposed to OGD, which may be relevant to the promotion of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, and impact the expression of Bax and Bcl-2.

Objective To detect eight kinds of clinical common pathogenic bacteria by DNA microarray.Methods Eight kinds of common pathogenic bacteria,including Staphylococcus aureus,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Escherichia coli,Proteus mirabilis,Enterobacter aerogenes,Pseudomonas fluorescens,Shigella sonnei were collected.Universal primers were designed to amplify 16S rRNA gene fragment from the genomic DNA of the eight bacteria,and probes were designed in the highly variable regions.DNA microarray detection system was established and used for detection of colleted bacteria.A total of 50 samples were collected from the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University,including 6 blood samples,32 sputum samples,9 feces samples and 3 bronchoscope lavage samples.DNA were extracted and detected by the established DNA microarray system.Results The desired fragments were well amplified by the self-designed universal primers.The selected probes had good detection results according to repeated detection.Of the 50 samples detected,pathgenic bacteria were accurately detected in 47 samples.Other three samples were not detected as those bacteria were not included in the chip.By optimizing the detection process,the results could be reported within 8 hours.Observation of probe signal attenuation indicated that even attenuated after 60 days,but the attenuation did not affect the results.Conclusion A microarray system was established for detection of clinical common bacteria accurately and quickly,which provided foundation for its clinical application.

Objective To develop a gene microarray system for detection of clinical common pathogenic fungi.MethodsThere were 8 clinical common fungi chosen as the subjects including Candida albicans,Candida glabrata,Candida tropicalis,Candida parapsilokis,Candida pseudotropicalis,Aspergillus terreus,Aspergillus flavus,Aspergillus oryzae,Aspergillus fumigatus.Universal primers,probes and specific probes for the PCR amplification and microarray preparation were designed in ITS region of the fungi genomic DNA.The PCR products amplified from those fungi's genome DNA were denatured and hybridized with the probes in gene microarray.The rapid detection of fungi was based on the investigation on the fluorescent signal intensity in the chip.The detection results of gene microarray system were verified by true positive and negative clinical samples.Results There were totally 25 positive samples identified by clinical routine microbiological methods.The 10 samples identified as bacteria positive were determined as negative without fluorescent signal by the fungi gene microarray,while the 12 samples identified as fungi positive were determined as positive with certain fungus by the fungi gene microarray.And 3 artificial Candida krusei samples were detected as fungi positive,while they were failure to be identified as certain fungus.There was no fluorescent signal in positions of the 8 fungi specific probes,but there was fluorescent signal in the position of fungi universal probe.It indicated that there were fungi in the samples but it couldn't identify the species of the fungi,because the Candida krusei wasn't included in the detection fungi list of the fungi gene microarray.ConclusionsThe fungi gene microarray established by the study could detect the common fungi in clinic rapidly and accurately.This study lays technology foundation for clinical application of gene chip.

Objective To inspect the source of an outbreak with Mycoplasma pneumoniae (Mp).Methods We carried out real-time PCR to analyze specimens collected from pediatric patients in Beijing during January 2010 to May 2012,diagnosed as pneumonia or a respiratory infection according to clinical symptoms.These positive samples were analyzed by the M-P typing system(M:multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis,MLVA; P:P1-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis,P1-RFLP).Results Sixty-nine specimens were tested positive to Mp by the real-time PCR in 446 specimens from pediatric patients.The infection rate was 11.69％,15.56％ and 20.00％ respectively in 2010,2011 and the first half of 2012.According to the M-P system,11 distinct genotypes were identified from 69 positive specimens,M43562P1 and M53562P1 were the two main genotypes that showed an increasing trend from 2010 to 2011,and M33562P1 and M63562P1 showed an increasing trend from 2011 to 2012 in China.Conclusion During this international Mp epidemic,the infection rate of Mp was also increase in Beijing in 2011,and M43562P1 and M53562P1 were the two main genotypes.Among them,M43562 were consistent with pop genotypes in Europe,and M53562 were consistent with pop genotype in Israel.The M-P system would be valuable to monitor the epidemic of Mp in different countries in the world.
