OBJECTIVE To exlpore the clinical features and countermeasures of nosocomial infections in cardiovascular patients.METHODS The infection incidence,infection sites,high-risk factors and impacts on prognosis were recorded and analyzed in a retrospective way.RESULTS Nosocomial infection incidence was 10.1% within which respiratory system infection taken the first place;patients over 60 ages and staying in hospital over 30 days,with underlying diseases,chronic heart failure,invasive operation etc were the high-risk factors;the mortality of the infected group was higher than the non-infected group.CONCLUSIONS The infection incidence in cardiovascular patients is related to various factors,with bad prognosis;we need to avoid the high-risk fators based on the active treatment for primary disease,in this way to prevent and control the occurrence of nosocomial infection.

The occurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a multi-gene,multi-step process.Among them,oncogene activation and antioncogene inactivation is the important mechanism.The related oncogenes of nasopharyngeal carcinoma contain Bcl-2,hepatocyte growth factor (HGF),cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and latent membrane protein-1 (LMP-1).The related antioncogenes of nasopharyngeal carcinoma contain p53,p16,Nm23-H1 and PTEN.With the deepening research on genes,studies also find that nasopharyngeal carcinoma is related to PECAM-1,MMP-9 and RECK.These genes play important roles in the occurrence and development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma,which may become new targets for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

CXC chemokine ligand 4 (CXCL4) is a platelet-derived chemokine,and it belongs to CXC subfamily.Its receptor is CXC chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3),which belongs to the seven transmebrane G-protein-coupled receptor family,and its coreceptor is glycosaminoglycan (GAG).CXCL4 and its receptors take part in the regulation of many biological processes,such as immune regulation,inflammatory response,endothelial cell proliferation and migration and angiogenesis.Recent studies show that CXCL4 and its receptor have significant influence on the cell growth,angiogenesis,invasion and metastasis of colorectal cancer,which offers a new perspective to explore the mechanism of colorectal cancer and its targeted therapy.

BACKGROUND: Removable partial denture is the main way of repairing dentition defects, and its casting materials mainly include pure titanium, cobalt-chromium al oy and Vital um 2000. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the biocompatibility of removable partial dentures made of different materials in repair of dentition defects. METHODS: Total y 120 patients with dentition defects, aged 24-68 years old, were enrol ed and underwent repair with removable partial dentures. Among these patients, 40 patients were treated with cobalt-chromium al oy-casted removable partial dentures, 40 patients with pure titanium-casted removable partial dentures, and 40 patients with Vital ium 2000 casted removable partial dentures. Al patients were fol owed up for 2 years. The chewing efficiency, coagulation, thrombosis, alveolar bone loss, patient satisfaction, and the incidence of adverse reactions, such as abutments periodontal disease and secondary caries were compared between these three groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Chewing efficiency and patient satisfaction rate: Vital um 2000 group > titanium group > cobalt-chromium al oy group (P < 0.05). (2) Coagulation, thrombosis, the incidence of alveolar bone loss: Vital um 2000 group < titanium material group < cobalt-chromium al oy group (al P < 0.05). (3) Incidence of adverse reactions: Vital um 2000 group < titanium group

[Objective]To evaluate the accuracy of computer-assisted cervical pedicle screw installation and discuss the reasons of screw malposition.[Method]Totally 144 cervical pedicle screws were installed by computer-assisted navigation in 25 patients with lower cervical spinal disease.All the patients were examined by X-rays and CT after operation.Screw position and direction were measured on the sagittal and transsection image of intraoperative navigation and post-operative CT.The result was analyzed statistically.[Result]Two screws perforated the upper pedicle wall,3 deviated from the lateral pedicle wal1.There was no statistical difference in screw position or direction between navigation and CT image.Navigational images were based on the principle of rigid tissue.[Conclusion]Computer-assisted navigation can improve the accuracy of cervical pedicle screw installation.Screw malposition is responsible for the excursion phenomenon.

Objective To probe the clinical features and possible mechanisms of autoimmunic hemocytopenia complicated with thrombosis.Methods From 2007 to 2008,the clinical and laboratory data of seven patients with autoimmunic hemocytopenia complicated with thrombosis in the hematology department General Hospital tianjin medical university were analysed.Results One of the patients was with Evans syndrome,and another six patients with immuno-related pancytopenia.Three were complicated with lower extremity Veins embolism;two with cerebral vessel and pulmonary artery embolisms respectively;one with splenic artery and coronary artery embolisms respectively.Among them,three were complicated embolism of two parts;six patients had higher D-Dimer level.They were treated with glucocorticoids,cyclosporin A,and immunoglobulin for immunic hemocytopenia and with anti-coagulation therapy(aspirin、heprin and warfarin) for thrombosis.Seven patients' hemogram,signs and symptoms improved gradually since they received immunosuppression and anticoagulation therapy.The symptoms of thrombosis disappeared two weeks later.The degree and extent of thrombosis also alleviated;at the same time,the function of blood coagulation recovered partly or completely.Conclusion Thrombosis is a rare but severe complication of autoimmunic hemocytopenia.Promptly anti-coagulation and immunosuppressive therapies can get ideal therapeutic effects.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of recessive placement of nasolacrimal stent in the treatment of nasolacrimal duct obstruction and factors affecting the prognosis of the procedure.Design Retrospective case series.Participants One hundred eighty six patients(207 eyes) with nasolacrimal duct obstruction.Methods One hundred eighty six patients(207 eyes) of nasolacrimal duct obstruction confirmed by dacryocystography had undergone recessive placement of nasolacrimal stent after probing and dilation of nasolacrimal duct.All patients received regular postoperative nasolacrimal duct syringe.Main Outcome Measures Status of postoperative lacrimal syringe.Results The stents were removed 3～12 months postoperatively,the patients were followed-up average 6 months.The operation success rate was 97.1%.167 eyes achieved complete success(80.7%).25 eyes became better(12.1%),and nasolacrimal duct obstructed again in 15 cases(7.2%).Conclusions Recessive placement of nasolacrimal stent combined with postoperative nasolacrimal duct syringe is a simple,effective and safe technique in the treatment of nasolacrimal duct obstruction.Selecting correct patients,skillful technique of nasolacrimal duct probing and regular postoperative syringing of nasolacrimal duct are the main factors of successful procedures.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of hydrogel soft contact lens(HSCL) for persistence corneal epitheliopathy after intraocular surgery.Design Retrospective case series.Participants 36 patients(36 eyes) with bullous keratopathy(n=5) or other keratopathy(n=31) including corneal erosion,epithelium missing,and dendritic keratopathy after intraocular surgery,which failed to medicine treatment 2 weeks ago.Method All patients were fitted with HSCL after suitable processing of the corneal foci.The lenses were removed immediately as long as the keratopathy recovered.A new lens was replaced after 3 weeks if still needed.Main Outcome Measures Changes of keratopathy,pain relief and complications.Result 35 patients(97.22%) fitted with HSCL were very comfort within 3 days.At the follow-up of 6 months,30 patients(83.33%) achieved complete remission of keratopathy,6 patients (16.67%) remarkable remission.30 patients(86.11%) had vision increase.All of the non-bullous keratopathy recovered within 3 weeks,while the lenses were fitted much longer in bullous keratopathy.No other lens-related complications appeared.Conclusion The application of hydrogel soft contact lens to persistence corneal epitheliopathy after intraocular surgery is safe,effective,and practical.

Objective To provide clinical experience in the treatment and prevention of complicated acute cardiac tamponade in the course of heart interventional therapy. Methods To analyse the clinical features of patients with acute cardiac tamponade and to investigate the possible underlying mechanism. Results Twenty-one cases experienced acute cardiac tamponade when undergoing heart interventional therapy. Among all the 21 patients with acute cardiac tamponade, 11 occurred from percutaneous coronary interention(PCI) ,6 from the radiofrequency catheter ablation , 1 from the closure of atrial rspetal with amplaty closure service, 1 from the percutaeous balloon mitral valvuloplasty ( PBMV), 2 from temporary pacemaker implantation. Eighteen patients were successfully rescued left no serious sequelae. Three cased died, including two PCI-related death and one temporary-pacemaker-installation-related death. Conclusion Any heart interventional operation is at the risk to cause acute cardiac tamponade. Early identification and appropriate treatment is the key to successful rescue.

ObJeetive To report a simple and efficient method to label two different types of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in mouse retina.Methods Eyeballs were harvested from normal adult C57 BL/6 J mouse,the retinas were isolated,four radial cuts were done,the retinas were pasted on the nitrocellulose membrane with the ganglion cell layer upturned.The immunofluorescence double staining and laser confocal nmicroscope was used to reveal conventional retinal ganglion cells and intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) using Brn3a and Melanopsin.Results The double staining results of whole mount retina showed that conventional RGCs and melanopsin immunopositive ipRGCs had a complementary distribution in mouse retina,these two subtypes of RGCs were predominantly present in the ganglion cell layer.The numbers of ipRGCs was just about 1％-2％ of conventional RGCs,and the axons of ipRGCs toward the direction of the optic disc,several dendrites toward the inner plaximem layer.Conclusion The immunofluorescence double staining of whole mount retina is a simple,stable and efficient method to label two different types of mouse RGCs.
