OBJECTIVETo investigate the prevalence and possible influencing factors of depressive disorder in surgical inpatients.

METHODSTwo hundred and sixty-six surgical inpatients meeting the inclusion criteria were first screened with the self rating depression scale (SDS), and then the subjects screened positive and 20% of those screened negative were evaluated with Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders (SCID) as a gold standard for diagnosis of depressive disorder. Possible influencing factors were also analyzed by experienced psychiatrists.

RESULTSThe standard score of SDS in the surgical inpatients were significantly higher than those in the Chinese norm, and the incidence of depressive disorder in the surgical inpatients was 37.2%. Unvaried analysis showed that depressive disorder were associated with gender, education, economic condition, variety of diseases, hospitalization duration, and treatment methods. Logistic regression analysis revealed that gender, economic condition, treatment methods and previous history were the main influencing factors.

CONCLUSIONSThe incidence of depressive disorder in the surgical inpatients is high, and it is mainly influenced by gender, economic condition, treatment methods and previous history.

Objective: To observe the effect of the cyclophosphamide (CTX) on systemic lupus erythematosus mice by fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Methods: (BALB/c × C57BL/J6) F1 hybrid mice were used as recipients of donor lymphocytes which were injected intravenously. Mice were randomly divided into control group and treatment group, serum autoantibody and urinary protein were measured, renal pathological changes and the situation of fungal infection were observed. Results: The reduced urinary protein, ameliorated renal lesions were found in the CTX-treated mice. Candida albicans and Aspergillus flavus were detected respectively in respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract. Conclusions: CTX can alleviate lupus nephritis and the fluorescent quantitative PCR is a rapid and sensitive method for the detection of fungal infection.

OBJECTIVETo investigate clinicopathological and genetic characteristics of primary ocular adnexal lymphoproliferative lesions.

METHODSClinical, morphological and immunohistochemical features of 37 archival cases of primary ocular adnexal lymphoproliferative lesions were studied including 5 cases of reactive lymphoid hyperplasia and 32 lymphomas retrospectively. Classification of the lymphomas were made according to the WHO classification of tumors of haematopoietic and lymphoid tissues. All cases were studied by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using dual color break apart probes of IgH, MALT1, bcl-6, c-Myc, bcl-2, CCND1, bcl-10, and FOXP1 for detection of chromosomal aberrations involving IgH, MALT1, bcl-6, c-Myc, bcl-2, cyclinD1, bcl-10 and FOXP1 genes, respectively. FISH with IgH / bcl-2 dual color dual fusion probe was used for detection of t(14;18)(q32;q21)/IgH-bcl-2. CEP18 spectrum orange probe was used for detection of aneuploidy of the chromosome 18.

RESULTSAmong 32 cases of lymphomas, 28 cases (87.5%) were extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphomas of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma), 2 cases were follicular lymphoma (FL) and 2 cases diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Among the 28 cases of MALT lymphoma, chromosomal aberrations were found in 60.7% (17/28) by interphase FISH analysis. One case showed positive IgH break-apart signal with unknown partner. 16 cases showed three copies of different genes, of which, three copies of MALT1, bcl-6, and c-Myc were identified in 7 cases (25%), 12 cases (43%), and 2 cases (8%) of MALT lymphomas, respectively. In addition, 5 cases showed two genes including three copies of bcl-6 and MALT1 in 4 cases, and three copies of bcl-6 together with c-Myc in one case. Furthermore, all cases with three copies of MALT1 had trisomy 18. t(14;18)(q32;q21) was detected in both follicular lymphomas. Of the 2 DLBCL cases, one showed three copies of bcl-6 together with trisomy 18 and the other one showed three copies of bcl-6 together with IgH and c-Myc rearrangements. Chromosomal aberration was not found in all 5 cases of reactive lymphoid hyperplasia.

CONCLUSIONSThe most common entity of primary ocular adnexal lymphomas is MALT lymphoma and FISH is helpful for their differential diagnosis and classification. Trisomy 18 and three copies of bcl-6 are common chromosomal aberrations in primary ocular adnexal MALT lymphomas.

This study was undertaken to establish a murine model for unrelated allogeneic umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT). The characteristics and percentage of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells between near-term fetal and neonatal murine peripheral blood (FNPB) and bone marrow (BM) were evaluated by flow cytometry and semisolid methylcellulose culture. BABL/c (H-2(d)) recipient mice conditioned with high dose CTX were transplanted with FNPB form C57BL/6 (H-2(b)) mice and the survival rate, hematopoietic and immunological reconstruction, graft versus host disease (GVHD) and engraftment level were observed. The results showed that the numbers of day 14 CFU-GM and CFU-GEMM in FNPB (176.40 +/- 78.39)% and (141.40 +/- 56.57)%, respectively were much higher than those in BM (75.20 +/- 26.41)% and (68.80 +/- 23.95)%, respectively. Moreover the percentage of Sca-1(+) CD34(+) cell subsets in FNPB (3.63 +/- 1.13)% was also higher than that in BM (1.41 +/- 0.8 7)%. FNPB transplantation improved survival rate and reconstituted hematopoietic and immune function in recipients. There was no evidence of GVHD. Chimeric analysis showed that the proportion of donor cells in BM of recipients was 27.94% at 21 days after transplantation. It was concluded that FNPB contains more hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells with high expansion ability and weak allogeneic immunity, which was similar to human UCB. The murine model for allogeneic UCBT (C57BL/6-->BALB/c) was established successfully.

Objective To investigate the distribution and resistance profile of bacterial isolates in Shanghai Children's Hospital. Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility of all isolates was determined by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method according to 2016 CLSI standard. The data were analyzed by WHONET 5.6 software. Results A total of 23 259 non-duplicate strains were isolated from 2011 to 2016, including 10 885(46.8％)gram-postive cocci and 12 374(53.2％)gram-negative bacilli. The average prevalence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus(MRSA)and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(MRCNS)was 35.8％ and 82.2％, respectively. The prevalence of MRSA rose from 27.4％ in 2011 to 42.9％ in 2016. The resistance rate of MRSA and MRCNS strains were significantly higher than methicillin sensitive strains. The resistance rate of Enterococcus faecium strains was significant higher than Enterococcus faecalis. The prevalence of non-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 31.2％(908). No gram-positive strain was resistant to vancomycin or linezolid. The prevalence of carbapenem resistance increased in gram-negative strains. The resistance rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae to imipenem and meropenem rose from 3.1％ and 4.8 ％ in 2011 to 28.7％ and 37.4％ in 2016, respectively.The rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistance to imipenem and meropenem rose from 13.8％ and 16.5％ in 2011 to 18.8％ and 19.4％ in 2016, respectively, while Acinetobacter baumannii showed resistance rate of 38.3％ and 39.9 ％ in 2011 to 68.4％ and 69.7％ in 2016. Conclusions Increasing prevalence of MRSA, carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae, extensively drug-resistant A.baumannii has become a concern in clinical practice. Therefore, antimicrobial resistance surveillance should be highly strengthened in children's hospital.

Anti-HIV-1 gp120 single chain antibody(scFv) gene and staphylococcus extoxin A(SEA) gene were inserted into vector pPIC9K. The recombinant plasmid was integrated into Pichia pastoris by electroporation. High level expression was performed by determining the Muts phenotype and screening muti-copy integrants. The recombinant protein was about 57kD and the production was 50.1 mg/L. It was shown that the two kinds of protein affected the conformation of each other by antibody affinity assay, but the recombinant targeting toxins could highly mediate CTLs to kill HIV-1 target cells.
