Objective To explore the viral etiology spectrum of different age and different seasons for neo-natal pneumonia.Methods Medical records of 1 073 cases of neonatal pneumonia in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed,line direct immunofluorescence assay were used to detect nasopharyngeal secretions of newborns,the test results were statistically analyzed.Results In 1 073 cases with neonatal pneumonia,406 cases were detected positive with virus infected,the positive rate was 37.8%,7 cases were mix infected.334 cases were infected by respiratory syncytial virus(RSV),which had the highest detection rate,accounting for 82.3%;RSV infection rate in 1 -6 month baby was 36.4%,which was higher than the >6 -12 month -old baby with RSV infection rate 26.5%,the difference was statistically significant(χ2 =12.25,P <0.05);RSV infection rate in winter and spring group was 39.7%,which was significantly higher than that in autumn and winter group(13.6%);PIV3 infection rate in winter and spring group was 1.8%,significantly lower than that in autumn and summer group(9.1%),the difference was statistically signifi-cant(χ2 =31.27,P <0.05 ).Conclusion RSV is the most common viral in neonatal pneumonia,more attention should be payed to RSV infection control in small babies and at winter and spring,pay attention to PIV3 infection at autumn and summer.

Objective To evaluate clinical effects of the treatment of tibial fractures through compression reduction and osteosynthesis with common plate. Methods From March 2001 to September 2003, 48 cases of tibial fractures were treated through compression reduction and osteosynthesis with common plate. Results All the cases were followed up for 6 to 24 weeks (averaging 14 weeks). The healing time was 12 to 16 weeks (averaging 5 weeks). No delayed union, non union, infection, or ineffective internal fixation occurred. Conclusion Compression reduction and osteosynthesis with common plate to treat tibial fractures is a kind of biomechanical fixation that facilitates fracture healing.

Objective To investigate the effect of monosialoganglioside GM-1 on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-induced brain injury in rats.Methods Twenty-seven adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 350-450 g,aged 15 months,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=9 each): control group (C group),CPB group and GM-1 group.The animals were anesthetized with chloral hydrate,tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated.Right common carotid and right jugular vein were cannulated for closed-chest CPB.In groups CPB and GM-1,the rats underwent 1 h CPB.GM-1 20 mg/kg was added to the priming solution in group GM-1,while the equal volume of normal saline was given in group CPB.The animals were sacrificed at 3 h after termination of CPB or 3 h after the end of ventilation in group C,the brains were removed and the hippocampi isolated for microscopic examination and for determination of apoptosis (using TUNEL) and Bax and Bcl-2 protein expression (by immunohistochemistry and Western blot).Results Compared with group C,the number of apoptotic neurons and ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 were significantly increased,and the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax protein was up-regulated in groups CPB and GM-1 (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group CPB,the number of apoptotic neurons and ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 were significantly decreased,the expression of Bax protein was down-regulated and the expression of Bcl-2 protein was up-regulated in group GM-1.The pathological changes were severe in group CPB and attenuated in group GM-1.Conclusion GM-1 can attenuate CPB-induced brain injury in rats and inhibition of the apoptosis in neurons may be involved in the mechanism.

Objective To discuss the effect of the bedside shielding protection on the first and second operators against position radiation in percutaneous coronary intervention.Methods The surface entrance dosage rate for the first and second operators at 125 cm height with and without radiation protection shielding (provided separately) were measured.The t-test was used for statistical analysis of arithmetic mean values of dosage rates.And the effect of bedside shielding protection was calculated.Results The position radiation dosage rate at which the first operator exposed was significantly higher than that for the second in the case of no bedside protection (t =97.1-2 263.0,P ＜ 0.05),whereas the dosage rate at which the first operator (except for the left foot position) exposed was significantly lower than that for the second in the case of no bedside protection (t =-80.9-275.1,P ＜ 0.05).The shielding effect of bedside protection on the first and second operators was in the range of 92.26％-99.36％ and 27.83％-97.90％,respectively.Conclusions The bedside protection may effectively reduce position radiation dose to patients and the use of bedside protection changed the trends in the dose distribution in operators' standing region.Attention should be focused on the radiation protection of the second operators in daily work by making full use of bedside protection.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of 320-detector CT in interventional treatment of bronchial artery hemoptysis. Methods CTA and DSA images of 30 patients with bronchial artery hemoptysis were retrospectively analyzed.Spatial anatomical characters of the bronchial arteries,such as the type of branches,origin and opening positions of the bronchial arteries were observed and recorded.Results In 30 patients,6 bronchial arteries distribution patterns were found,and the most common type was R1 L1 (43.3%).83 bronchial arteries were identified using CTA,including 38 on the right and 45 on the left.The right bronchial arteries mainly originated from the intercostal artery (52.6%),while the left bronchial arteries mainly from the descending aorta and aortic arch (82.2%).The opening positions of right and left bronchial arteries were mainly located at the right wall of the descending aorta (78.9%),and anterior wall of the descending aorta (62.2%),respectively.When the cacarina of trachea was used as the reference position,the left and right bronchial arteries were mainly located in the range of above 2 cm to below 1 cm from tracheal bifurcation, accounting for 80% and 89.5%,respectively.Compared with DSA,the sensitivity and specificity of CTA were 97.5% and 100%, respectively.Conclusion 320-detector CT can be used to clearly display the distribution patterns,origin and opening positions of bronchial arteries,and especially to find bronchial arteries with ectopic origin.It is possible to apply 320-detector CT in preoperative routine examination and postoperative evaluation of massive hemoptysis.

Objective To investigate the effect of continuous renal replacement therapy ( CRRT) on the reg-ulation of Treg/Th17 in patients with severe sepsis,and related inflammatory factors IL-6,IL-17,IL-10,and TNF-α.Methods 60 patients with severe sepsis were randomly divided into two groups,30 cases in each group.The control group received conventional treatment,and the observation group was treated with CRRT on the basis of the control group.Flow cytometry was used to detect the levels of Tregs and Th17 cells,and IL-6,IL-10,IL-17 and TNF-αwere detected by ELISA method.At the same time,the APACHEII score,ICU length of hospital stay were observed and recorded.Results After treatment,APACHE Ⅱscore,ICU length of hospital of the observation group were lower than the control group,there were statistically significant differences(t=4.258,t=4.518,all P<0.05). The expression levels of Th17,Treg and Tregs/Th17 in the observation group were significantly lower than the control group,the differences were statistically significant (t=5.872,4.267,4.285,all P<0.05).The expression levels of IL-6,IL-17,TNF-αin the observation group decreased more significantly than the control group,the differences were statistically significant (t=5.829,5.257,5.983,all P<0.05).But the expression level of IL-10 in the two groups had no obvious change[(35.26 ±18.63) pg/mL vs (35.52 ±20.09) pg/mL,t=2.164,P>0.05].Conclusion CRRT can not only remove the inflammatory mediators of abnormal expression,improve the function of T cells,but also can maintain the balance between Th17 and Treg,improve the immune disorders,and improve the prognosis of sepsis.
