AIM: To investigate the protective effect of anti-macrophage migration factor monoclonal antibody (anti-MIF MAb) on oleic-acid-induced acute lung injury (ALI) rats and its influence on the expression level of MIF and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1). METHODS: The rats were subjected to injection of oleic acid (oleic acid group) or saline solution (control group). One hours before administration of oleic acid, the rats were intraperitoneally injected with anti-MIF antibody (5 mg/kg) as the treatment group. After injecting oleic acid or saline for 4 hours, the PaO_2, lung permeability index (LPI), the number of macrophage and the level of soluble ICAM-1 (sICAM-1) in the bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were measured. The expression level of MIF mRNA and ICAM-1 mRNA in the lung were detected by in situ hybridization, and the degree of macrophage infiltration and the expression of MIF were evaluated by double staining immunocytochemistry. RESULTS: The PaO_2 of the oleic acid group was far lower than those of the control and treatment group (P

Objective To study the difference between the metabolic syndrome(MS)diagnosis made with International Diabetes Federation(IDF)worldwide definition and the Adult Treatment Panel Ⅲ (ATPⅢ)of National Cholesterol Education Program(NCEP).Methods Cross-sectional study and descriptive study were used.Results There were 1328 MS patients diagnosed with IDF and 1527 MS patients diagnosed with ATPⅢ.There were 199 MS patients diagnosed with ATPⅢbut not with IDF and these MS patients all had 3-4 risk factors.According to the abnormality of glucose.blood pressure and lipid regulation stated in ATPⅢ criteria.759 more patients were diagnosed as MS than with IDF criteria.Conclusions MS diagnosed with ATP Ⅲ criteria iS more objective than with IDF criteria and ATPⅢ criteria has more space for further theoretical study.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate function and application of various biomaterials in tissue engineering repair skull defect, and to seek a reasonable skull substitutes. METHODS: Using "tissue engineering, skull defect, stem cells, cytokines, composite" as key words in Chinese, and using "tissue engineering, skull defect, mesenchymal stem cells, cytokines, materials" as key words in English, a computer-based online search was performed for publications from January 1993 to October 2009. Articles concerning biomaterials and tissue engineering skull defect repair were included. Articles describing repetitive study or Mete analysis were excluded. Function of various biomaterials in tissue engineering repair skull defect was assess in 17 articles. RESULTS: Stem cell technique is to obtain seed cells from a few myeloid tissues. Following in vitro induction and amplification, cells at a certain number could compound with stents, and construct tissue-engineered bone in vitro. The cells could sustain the biological features of osteoblasts, and fuse with bone tissue in the recipient site. Simultaneously, it could avoid the occurrence of immunological rejection. Two or over materials were compounded together, or biomaterial surface received various modification. These could promote adhesion between cells and materials, elevate cell bioactivity and maintain biological function. Following moved into seed cells using some vectors, the latter ossified in bone defect site, and secreted suitable bone growth factor, induced the differentiation of peripheral non-oriented osteogenitor cells into oriented osteogenitor cells, which could harvest adequate seed cells with osteogenic activity in a short time, and accelerate the healing of skull defects. The composite made by using three-dimensional virtual imaging and computer numerical control modeling techniques has the advantages of medical composite, precise anatomical consistency with surrounding tissues of skull defects, and perfect appearance. CONCLUSION: At present, no material can be accorded with the requirement of bone tissue engineering. Combination of some materials or modification of biomaterial surface can promote adhesion of cells and materials, elevate cell biological activity, and maintain biological function, which are presently hot focus of tissue engineering research of biomaterials.

Objective To understand the drug resistance situation of pathogenic bacteria clinically isolated in Dongguan Munici-pal People′s Hospital during 2013.Methods The drug sensitivity test were performed by adopting the associated reagent strip of the VITEK2-compact microbial analyzer from French bioMerieux company,including AST-GN test,AST-GP33 test,AST-GP68 test and K-B method (only for Haemophilus influenzae).The data were analyzed by the Whonet5.5 software.Results In 2013,to-tally 7 543 strains of pathogens were detected out,including 6 031 strains(79.9%)of Gram negative bacteria,1512 strains(20.1%) of Gram positive bacteria.The detection rates of ESBL in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 46.9% and 28.1%,re-spectively.The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in Staphylococcus were 16.8% and 77% respectively.The detection rate of multidrug resistant strains was 21.5%.The resistant rate of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae to ampicillin and cefazolin were greater than 60%;which of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to ampicillin,furosemide,trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,ceftriaxone,ce-fotetan and cefazolin was more than 80%;which of Baumanii to imipenem was still 61.2%,which to aztreonam,ceftriaxone,cefotet-an,cefazolin was more than 98%.The resistance rate of Enterococcus faecium to vancomycin was 6.2%.No vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain was detected out.Conclusion The detected pathogenic bacteria in 2013 were dominated by Gram-neg-ative bacilli,the multidrug resistant bacterial strains had the higher detection rate,the drug resistance of Baumanii was serious.The resistance of Enterococcus faecium to vancomycin showed the increasing trend.Monitoring the bacterial drug resistance every year and understanding the change of pathogenic drug resistance can provide the basis for the rational selection of antimicrobial drugs in clinic.

OBJECTIVE To discuss the liable episodes of the urinary tract infection with relation of catheter and propose the prevention measures.METHODS We radomly selected 536 patients with catheter.The urinary tract infection,as well as related factors were observed in patients with indwelling catheter.RESULTS The catheter replacement time interval as well as indwelling time were the risk factors,when the indwelling catheter time was 1-3 days,the CAUTI rate was 10.3%,if the time was ≥10 day,the CAUTI rate was 97.6%.Additionally the antibiotic use would cause dysbacteriosis which also easily caused the urinary tract road infection.CONCLUSIONS When taking care of the patients who had catheter,we should grasp the indications of catheterization,reduce the indwelling time,apply the effective nursing measures and correct choice of antibiotics,that can evidently control the infection.
