Objective To evaluate the effect of albendazole immunoliposome (IL-Alb) against Echinococcus granulosus. Methods Mice infected with protoscolices of E.granulosus were divided into five groups. Four groups were treated with albendazole (Alb), albendazole liposome (L-Alb), albendazole sulfoxide liposome (L-Albso), and IL-Alb respectively at a dosage of 100 mg (Alb)/(kg?d)?5 d for 3 courses. The fifth group was established as control. The major criteria for evaluating the effects included a reduction rate of E.granulosus tissue wet weight, histopathological examination of the cysts by both light microscopy and electron-microscopy, and the content of albendazole-sulfoxide in cysts detected by HPLC. Results The efficacy of albendazole immunoliposome was significantly higher than that of albendazole liposome, and much higher than that of albendazole. The reduction rates of cyst tissue weight of IL-Alb group, L-Alb group and Alb group were 91\^5%, 80\^3%, 61\^2% respectively as compared to control group; the concentration of Albso in cyst tissue of the above groups were 5\^15 ?g/g, 2\^18 ?g/g, 0\^76 ?g/g respectively (P

Objective To explore the clinical features of children infected with macrolide-resistant (MR) Mycoplasma pneumonia(MP) isolates and genetic typing of all isolates.Methods Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) of MP positive in 96 nasopharyngeal or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples were collected from patients diagnosed as MP pneumonia in the Affiliated Children's Hospital of the Capital Institute of Pediatrics from January 2013 to October 2015.Fifty-five cases were male,41 cases were female;19 cases (19.8％) were 1 to 3 years old,18 cases (18.7％) were more than 3 to 5 years old,59 cases(61.5％) were more than 5 to 13 years and 2 months old.These samples were tested for MR associated mutations in the 23S rRNA of MP,and were divided into the MR group and the macrolide-sensitive (MS) group.Furthermore,the genotype of all the isolates were performed by conducting P1-restriction fragment length polymorphism(P1-RFLP) analysis and multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) method.The clinical characteristics including the age,gender,hospitalization duration,symptoms,signs,fever duration,fever duration after macrolide therapy,white blood cell count,C-reactive protein (CRP),chest X-ray and/or chest computed tomography,which were compared between different groups.SPSS 11.5 software was used to analyze the statistical data.Statistical significance was determined at the 0.05 level of a two-tailed test.Results MR mutations were identified in the 23S rRNA gene in 81 specimens (84％),and the 96 specimens were divided into MR group(81 cases) and MS group (15 cases).There were statistical differences in fever duration,hospitalization duration,the incidence of complications and CRP level between the MR group and MS group (t =2.061,Z =-3.368,x2 =5.856,Z =-2.165,all P ＜ 0.05).There were no statistical differences in age,white blood cell count,consolidation percentage on chest radiography and fever duration after macrolide therapy(all P ＞ 0.05).All the 96 isolates were performed by adopting P1-RFLP typing,but 5 isolates were not typed successfully,while 81 cases (89.0％) isolates were typed as P1-Ⅰ and 10 isolates(11％) were typed as P1-Ⅱ c.The hospitalization duration and the fever duration after macrolide therapy in the P1-Ⅰ were longer than the P1-Ⅱ c group,and the difference was statistically significant (Z =-2.197,2.237,all P ＜ 0.05).There were no statistical differences in age,fever duration,white blood cell count,CRP level,consolidation percentage on chest radiography and the incidence of complications (all P ＞ 0.05).Seventy-three cases (90％) of P1-Ⅰ group were MR isolates,8 cases (10％) were MS isolates;3 cases (30％) of the P1-]Ⅱ c group were MR isolates,7 cases (70％) were MS isolates.The MR isolates in P1-Ⅰ group were much more than P1-Ⅱ c group.There was obvious statistical difference in the proportion of MR isolates between 2 groups (x2 =19.209,P ＜ 0.01).All the 96 isolates were performed by modified MLVA typing,82 cases(85.5％) were typed as M4-5-7-2,11 cases(11.5％) were typed as M3-5-6-2,1 case (1.0％) was typed as M4-5-5-2,and 2 cases (2.0％) were typed as M4-5-6-2.Because there were less cases of the M4-5-5-2 and M4-5-6-2 type,only the clinical data of M4-5-7-2 and M3-5-6-2 group were compared.The hospitalization duration and the fever duration after macrolide therapy in the M4-5-7-2 group were longer than the M3-5-6-2 group,and the difference was statistically significant(Z =-2.406,-4.472,all P ＜ 0.05).There were no statistical differences in age,fever duration,white blood cell count,CRP level,consolidation percentage on chest radiography and the incidence of complications(all P ＞ 0.05).Seventy-four cases (90％) of the M4-5-7-2 group were MR isolates,8 cases (10％) were MS isolates;4 cases (36％) of the M3-5-6-2 group were MR isolates,7 cases (64％) were MS isolates.The MR isolates in M4-5-7-2 group were much more than M3-5-6-2 group.There was obviously statistical difference in the proportion of MR isolates between 2 groups (x2 =17.022,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions In the MR group,the children had longer fever duration and hospitalization duration,higher incidence of complications and higher CRP level than those in the MS group.The MR rates of MP in China was high.P1-Ⅰ and M4-5-7-2 are the predominate genotypes.There may be a correlation between genotype and MR.

Objective To study the change of estrogen in patients with pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) secondary to congenital heart disease (CHD). Methods A total of 144 patients with CHD including 36 patients with normal pulmonary arterial pressure as control group, and 108 with PAH were investigated as PAH group. Their pulmonary artery pressure was measured by right heart catheterization and the serum concentrations of estradiol, progesterone, prolactin and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) were detected by chemiluminescence immunoassay. Results The serum concentrations of estradiol, progesterone, prolactin and FSH in PAH group were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that the concentrations of estradiol, progesterone and prolactin were not correlated with the site of shunt but significantly correlated with physiologic factor including sex, age and menstrual cycle, and the level of mean pulmonary arterial pressure. The correlation coefficient of mean pulmonary arterial pressure to them was 0.607,0.531 and 0.518 respectively. The concentration of FSH was positively correlated with the prolactin and estradiol with a related coefficient of 0.917 (P=0.012) and 0.759 (P= 0.000). Conclusion The estrogen plays an important role in modification of the pulmonary arterial pressure in patients with CHD and PAH.

Objective:To study the clinical effect of letrozole combined with triptorelin acetate (GnRH-a) on the serum estrogen level and ovulation quality of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).Methods:112 cases of PCOS patients in our hospital from August 2014 to January 2016 were selected and randomly divided into the control group (50 cases) and the observation group (62 cases) according to the wishes of patients.During the first 3～7 days of the menstrual cycle,the patients in the observation group were treated by LE,2.5 mg/d;the patients in the control group were given intramuscular injection of human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG),75 IU/d.when the diameter of the largest follicle (MFD)≥ 18 mm,the patients in the observation group were were given subcutaneous injection of 0.1 mg triptorelin acetate induced ovulation,patients in the control group were given intramuscular injection of Human chorionic gonadotropin HCG6000～10000IU induced ovulation.The ovulation induced ovulation effect and the serum hormone levels and pregnancy outcome were compared between two groups.Results:On the induced ovulation day,no significant difference was found in the endometrial thickness,the number of mature follicles,serum LH and P levels,rate of pregnancy and the luteal function between two groups of patients (P＞0.05),the number of dominant follicles,serum E2 and T levels,multiple pregnancy rate,the incidence of OHSS and ovarian cyst in observed group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:LE combined with GnRH-a could effectively improve the quality of ovulation in patients with PCOS,reduce the serum level of estrogen,and prevent the occurrence of OHSS,improve the outcome of pregnancy.

Objective To observe and compare the different forces between doctors and nurses used visible laryngoscope endotracheal intubation applied to the oropharyngeal organization. Methods 10 nurses (to carry on laryngoscope intubation theory, and had certain study period practice) were chosen in group A and 10 clinical anaesthetize doctors (to be possible correctly used visible laryngoscopes) were chosen in group B, two groups used the visible laryngoscope on the same model person body inserted the tube, computer monitor software recorded results. Results The impulse force was (25.57±3.37) N·s and insert tube time was (25.3±3.3) s in group A which were higher than (16.47±2.99) N·s and (16.2±3.0) s in group B (t=2.550 and 2.207, P<0.05). The average forces in group A and group B were (0.87±0.62) N and (0.64±0.30) N, and peak forces were (3.05±0.95) N and (2.06±0.48) N, there was no remarkable difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions There is no statistics difference forces applied to the oropharyngeal organization between nurses and anaesthesiologists using visible laryngoscope intubation, and visible laryngoscope intubation technique is easy to learn and it is feasible by the nurse to master the technology and applied to anesthesia intubation care and emergency care.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and muscle strength, physical performance in the elderly. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in Hangu district of Tianjin from April to June in 2013. Totally 1 131 subjects aged 60 years or older completed the survey. Every subject filled out a standard questionnaire and underwent grip strength test, timed up and go test (TUGT). Serum CRP concentrations were determined using chemiluminescent immunoassay kits. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine the relationship between CRP and muscle strength, physical performance. Results After adjustment for potential confounding factors including age, BMI, smoking status, drinking status, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, anemia, cancer and physical activity, the multiple linear regression analysis suggested that CRP levels were inversely related to handgrip strength (β'=-0.11, P<0.01), and the logistic regression analysis showed that compared with subjects in the lowest quintile, the odds ratios and 95%confidence interval of higher quintile of CRP were 1.09 (0.50, 2.39) and 2.70 (1.34, 5.66) (Ptrend<0.05) in males. However, the relationship between CRP and muscle strength, physical performance was not statistically significant in females. Conclusions In males, higher serum CRP levels were independently correlated with lower muscle strength and poor physical performance in older adults. These results suggested that inflammation-signaling pathways may play an important role in the progression of sarcopenia.

Objective To know about the current status of the work engagement of the clinical nurses and its influencing factors,to explore the influencing factors of work engagement of clinical nurses so as to provide basis for improving the level of the work engagement of the clinical nurses.Methods The work engagement scale,hardiness scale,role pressure scale,perceived organizational support scale and questionnaire of family care index were used to investigate a total of 630 clinical nurses.The results were analyzed.Results The average score of work engagement,hardiness,role pressure and perceived organizational support were showed respectively as following:(3.28±0.51),(2.60±0.53),(3.00±0.50),(3.43± 1.04) scores.Clinical nurses number of the total point between 7 and 10 of family support accounted for 70.9％(447/630).Hardiness,perceived organizational support,family support and work engagement were in obvious positive correlation,whereas role pressure was in obvious negative correlation with work engagement.Hierarchical regression analysis showed after the variable of demographic was controlled,the hardiness and perceived organizational support respectively had significant positive predictive function on work engagement as respective independent variables.Role pressure had obvious negative predicative function on work engagement.Conclusions Hospital managers should create a good working environment for clinical nurses,measures should be taken from individual and organizational aspects so as to improve the hardiness and perceived organizational support,reduce role pressure and the work positivity of the clinical nurses,so that the nurse more positively devoted to their work.It has important practical significance to improving the quality of their services and stabilizing nursing troop.
