OBJECTIVE:To provide reference and evidence for rational use of clinical nutrition. METHODS:The types of en-teral and parenteral nutrition and the cost of prescription were analyzed statistically in 17 third grade class A general hospitals,3 third grade class A special hospitals and 14 secondary general hospitals from Shanghai area during 2011 to 2013. RESULTS:Nutri-tion preparations were mainly used by hospitalized patients. Total cost of nutrition preparations in outpatient and emergency depart-ment respectively occupied 8.14%,8.77% and 8.89% of total cost of nutrition preparations in the hospital during 2011-2013. The parenteral nutrition was the main form of nutritional support. There were only three kinds of enteral nutrition in top ten nutrition preparations in the list of prescription cost. Although seven out of ten kinds of nutrition preparations were given enterally which was the main mode for outpatients and emergency patients,the cost of prescriptions of parenteral nutrition increased faster compared to enteral nutrition,especially alanyl-glutamine. CONCLUSIONS:Parenteral nutrition is the main mode of nutrition support,especial-ly for inpatients;great attention should be paid to the increase of the cost of prescriptions about parenteral nutrition in outpatients and emergency patients.

Objective Diabetic mice models were established.Hearts were separated from the body,reperfused after ischemia,and disposed of with the extraneous calcitonin gene-ralated peptide (CGRP),to prove if the CGRP had protective effect on the early-staged diabetic mice with cardiac ischemia.Method ICR mice were injected with Streptozocins intraperitoneally to establish diabetic model.The model mice and the normal mice were randomly divided into 4 groups:two diabetic groups,two control groups.Hearts of the experimental mice were taken out from the chest cavity alive,and hanged on the Langendorff steadily for 30min.Western blot and radioimmunoassay techniques were used to test expression of Vanilloid receptor(VR1) and CGRP in myocardic tissue;Madlab system was used to test the cardiac function,which including left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP),left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP),heart rate (HR),and coronary artery flow (CF),in the process of ischemic reperfusion,And ELISA assay kit was used to measure the concentration of the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in perfusion fluid collected from the heart.Result Expressions of VR1 and CGRP in diabetic hearts were significantly lower than those in normal ones 2 weeks later(P<0.01).By comparing with normal hearts,diabetic hearts had higher LVEDP and CF (P<0.05),and lower LVDP and HR(P<0.05).However,release of LDH were lower than normal ones (P<0.05).Predisposition of normal and diabetic hearts with CGRP can improve the cardiac function after ischemie injury.And the beneficial effect was more profound in early-staged diabetic hearts than in normal ones.Conclusion The diabetes disease(DM) can impair the expression of CGRP in myocardiac tissue.The extraneous CGRP may exert more potent protective effect on cardiac function in the early-staged diabetic heart.

OBJECTIVEGas chromatography (GC) was used to investigate the cellular fatty acid (CFA) composition of 141 Acinetobacter baumannii and 32 A. calcoaceticus isolates from different locations in China and to find chemical markers to differentiate these two closely related bacteria.
METHODSWhole cell fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) were obtained by saponification, methylation, and extraction for GC analysis, followed by a standardized Microbial Identification System (MIS) analysis.
RESULTSAll A. baumannii and A. calcoaceticus strains contained some major fatty acids, namely, 18:1 ω9c, 16:0, Sum In Feature 3, 12:0, 17:1ω8c, 3-OH-12:0, 17:0, Sum In Feature 2, 2-OH-12:0, and 18:0 compounds. Although most of the total CFAs are similar between A. baumannii and A. calcoaceticus strains, the ratios of two pairs of CFAs, i.e., Sum In Feature 3/18:1 ω9c versus 16:0/18:1 ω9c and Sum In Feature 3/18:1 ω9c versus unknown 12.484/18:1 ω9c fatty acids, could differentiate these two closely related bacteria. A. baumannii could be easily classified into two subgroups by plotting some ratios such as Sum In Feature 3/16:0 versus 17:0 and Sum In Feature 3/2-OH-12:0 versus 17:0 fatty acids.
CONCLUSIONThe ratios of some CFAs could be used as chemical markers to distinguish A. baumannii from A. calcoaceticus.

Interaction of salinity (NaCl) and cadmium (Cd) on growth, mineral nutrients, Na and Cd accumulation in four barley genotypes differing in salt tolerance was studied in a hydroponic experiment. Cd, NaCl and their combined stresses reduced Ca and Mg concentrations in roots and shoots, K concentration in shoots, increased K and Cu concentrations in roots relative to control, but had non-significant effect on micronutrients Cu, Fe and Mn concentrations in shoot. The three stresses reduced accumulation of most tested nutrients in both roots and shoots, except NaCl and NaCl+Cd stresses for root K and shoot Cu accumulation in salt tolerant genotypes. The salt tolerant genotypes did not have higher nutrient concentration and accumulation than the sensitive ones when exposed to Cd and NaCl stresses. In conclusion, the affecting mechanism of Cd stress on nutrients was to some extent different from salinity stress, and the NaCl+Cd stress was not equal to additional Cd and NaCl stresses, probably due to the different valence and competitive site of Na(+) and Cd(2+). NaCl addition in the Cd-containing medium caused remarkable reductions in both Cd concentration and accumulation, with the extent of reduction being also dependent on genotypes. The salt-tolerant genotypes had lower Na concentration than sensitive ones.

OBJECTIVESTo study the possible relationship between CYP1A1, NAT2 genetic polymorphisms and the susceptibility of prostate cancer.
METHODSForty-eight patients with prostate cancer and 112 healthy cases were selected as the control randomly. NAT2 and CYP1A1 gene polymorphisms were analysed with the methods of PCR-RFLP, ASA and real-time fluorescence Light-Cycler. The difference of frequency between the patients and the controls was compared.
RESULTSAmong prostate cancer patients and their matched controls, the frequencies of alleles and genotypes were significantly different with Ile-Val gene Polymorphisms (P < 0.05), in which the frequency of the allele G and GG genotypes were significantly higher than those in their matched controls with an odds ratio of 1.59 and 3.06(P < 0.05), respectively; No significant differences of the frequencies of the MspI alleles and genotypes were found between the patients with prostate cancer and the matched controls(P > 0.05). No significant differences of NAT2 slow acetylator genotype frequency were found between the controls and prostate cancer patients (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSThe CYP1A1 Ile-Val gene polymorphisms might be associated with the occurrence of prostate cancer, while MspI gene polymorphisms and NAT2 slow acetylator genotype might not be associated with the occurrence of prostate cancer.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of infecting pathogens,their changes and antimicrobial susceptibilities on CAPD related peritonitis in our peritoneal dialysis(PD) center in the past 15 years.Methods Two hundred and six CAPD related peritonitis episodes in 145 patients from 2000 to 2005 were analyzed and compared with 109 episodes from 1991 to 2000.The causative pathogens,their antimicrobial susceptibilities and outcomes on CAPD related peritonitis from the two periods were retrospectively reviewed and compared.Results Culture negative rate decreased from 60.6% in 1990 s to 47.6% in the last five years (P=0.031 ).Among culture positive peritonitis episodes,the incidence of gram positive bacteria (GPB) peritonitis increased from 25.6% to 39.8% (P=0.059).This was mainly due to a significant increase in coagulase-neagative staphylococcus peritonitis,which significantly increased from 4.7% to 26.9% (P=0.01).Gram negative bacteria (GNB) peritonitis decreased slightly (44.2% vs 34.3%,P=0.322).The incidence of Klebsiella pneumoniae peritonitis significantly decreased (14.0% vs 3.7%,P=0.023),while Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichis coli peritonitis rates slightly increased (4.7% vs 9.3%,P = 0.338;7% vs 18.7%,P=0.072).The decrease of fungal peritonitis rate was not significant (30.2% vs 17.6%,P= 0.123).The comparison of clinical outcomes showed an improvement of total recovery rate from 68.8% in 1990 s to 73.9% for 2000-2005 (P=0.09).The catheter removal rate decreased from 19.2% to 14.3% (P=0.238),and the mortality from 10.1% to 5.4% (P=0.118).In both periods,fungal peritonitis had the poorest results,which all the patients either withdrew from PD or died.Conclusions Compared with that in 1990 s,the culture positive rate for CAPD related peritonitis in 2000-2005 has been greatly improved.Coagulase-negative staphylococcus is the most common causative pathogen.The mortality and catheter removal rate have been markedly reduced in the last five years.Fungal peritonitis is the most important reason for patients' dropout.
