Objective To investigate transmission routes of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)caused by methi-cillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA),and make effective measures for preventing and controlling the oc-currence and epidemic of HAI caused by multidrug-resistance bacteria.Methods From February 24 to March 29, 2012,12 MRSA-infected patients were performed epidemiological study,these patients underwent bronchoscopy be-cause of tracheal stenosis,strains were identified by amplifying the sequences of 16S rRNA ,femA and mecA with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR),homology analysis of strains were performed by Spa geno-typing.Results All 12 MRSA-infected patients were susceptible to multidrug-resistance bacterial infection,5 cases of MRSA infection occurred during this hospitalization.Detection of specimens from health care workers and envi-ronment were all negative;Spa gene of all 12 MRSA isolates was type t 030 ,which was the main epidemic strain in Asia;Spa gene of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from nurses’noses was type t1425 .Conclusion The assumption of MRSA spread among health care workers aren’t supported by the epidemiological investigation results,genotypes of 12 MRSA isolates are identical,but the result of gene typing can’t be as the evidence of homology of infection ;patients at high risk for MRSA infection should be screened as early as possible,early contact isolation should be performed,so as to prevent and control the occurrence of HAI.

Objective To research on the applicational value of quantitative immunofluorescence assay of high-sensitivity C- reactive protein(HS-CRP) detection in surveillance of ankylosing spondylitis(AS) and Rheumatoid arthritis(RA).Methods Using quantitative immunofluorescence technique to detect the serum HS-CRP among 43 patients with AS and 62 patients with RA and 30 healthy controls.Results Within-run CV% of repeatability were 4.98% and3.68% for lower and higher concentration of HS- CRP,respectively;between-run CV% of the stability were 4.57% and 5.42% for lower and higher concentration of HS-CRP, respectively;There was a good correlation between results of quantitative immunofluorescence assay and BNP special protein analyzer method(r=0.997);Both the level and the positive rate of HS-CRP of patients with AS and patients with RA were higher than those of the controls in the active phase.The level and the positive rate of HS-CRP in patients with AS and patients with RA were obviously higher in the active phase than in the non-active phase(P0.05).Conclusion There were significant correlations between HS-CRP and the activity of AS and RA,So HS-CRP was useful tools for monitoring the changes of patient's condition.It doesn't have much significance in differential diagnosis of AS and RA.

Background Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a diverse group of diseases determined by genetic and environmental factors.Considerable research has been done on genes associated with the development of the heart.Recently,focus is on the role of transcription factor NFATc1 in the development of proper valve and septa.As part of a larger study,high density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) scanning was used to explore the relationship between NFATc1 gene polymorphism and susceptibility to ventricular septal defect (VSD) in the Chinese Han population.Methods One hundred and ninety-two pediatric patients with congenital VSD and 192 matching healthy control subjects were studied.The haplotype reconstructions were calculated by PHASE2.0 software.Haploview software was used to perform linkage disequilibrium assessment and define haplotype blocks.The algorithm used for defining the blocks was the confidence interval method.Results The NFATc1 gene region can be divided into 11 haplotype blocks.Strong linkage disequilibrium existed within blocks 6,8,9,and 11.Three SNPs (rs7240256,rs11665469,and rs754505) within the NFATc1 gene had significant correlation with VSD by single marker association analysis.In addition,two haplotypes correlated with VSD.Conclusions NFATc1 is associated with the occurrence of VSD and it may be a predisposing gene to CHD in Han Chinese.This finding has set a direction for further genetic and functional studies.

A series of isoindoline derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their double inhibitory activities. All of them were new compounds, and their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR and HR-MS. Preliminary in vitro pharmacological tests showed that all compounds exhibited 5-HT or NE reuptake inhibition activity. Among the tested compounds, compound I-3 exhibited potent inhibitory activity against 5-HT and NE reuptake in vitro, and exhibited potent antidepressant activity in vivo. These compounds designed can be further optimized for finding more potent 5-HT/NE dual reuptake inhibitors and antidepressant candidates as well.

Objective:To explore the effect of group psychotherapy on damage of theory of mind (TOM) in patients with early-onset schizophrenia.Methods:Totally 60 patients with early-onset schizophrenia were included and divided into the intervention group (n ＝ 30) and the health education group (n ＝ 30).The patients in the intervention group were offered 10 twice a week 2-hour sessions of group psychotherapy,and those in the control were offered group health education twice a week.All participants completed baseline measures and post-intervention measures with the Eye Emotion Recognition and Theory of mind Picture-sequencing Task (TOM-PST).Results:Totally 23 patients in the intervention group and 29 patients in the health education group finished the post-intervention measures.After 5-week intervention,subscores of sad and fear and total score of emotion recognition,total score of TOM-PST,understanding first order error belief,second order error belief,third order error belief,sense of reality,detecting fraud compared to baseline had statistically significant difference in intervention group.In health education group,subscores of joy emotion recognition,understanding first order error belief,third order error belief,total score of TOM-PST compared to baseline had statstically significant difference.The patients with group psychotherapy got higher scores of total score of TOM-PST and understanding second order error belief and third order error belief than the health education group after 5-week intervention (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:This study suggests the group psychotherapy could partially improve theory of mind with early-onset schizophrenia,and promote the recovery of social cognition.

Objective:To explore the correlation among childhood trauma, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and implicit and explicit memory in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder(OCD).Methods:Fifty-two OCD patients were enrolled, and the childhood trauma was investigated by using the childhood trauma questionnaire short-form(CTQ-SF). The degree of obsessive-compulsive symptoms was assessed by using the Yale-Brown obsessive symptoms scale (Y-BOCS). In addition, the abilities of implicit memory and explicit memory were tested by vocabulary perception speed tasks and vocabulary recognition tasks.According to the scores of CTQ-SF, the patients were divided into abuse group( n=26) and neglect group( n=26). SPSS 22.0 software was used for t-test and Pearson correlation analysis. Results:Results of obsessive-compulsive symptoms, implicit memory, and explicit memory showed no differences between the abuse group and the neglect group( t=-1.959-1.839, P>0.05). The scores of obsessions symptoms(12.52±4.61) were positively correlated with the total scores of CTQ-SF (40.10±10.20)( r=0.331, P<0.05). On the subscale, the scores of obsessions were positively correlated with the scores of physical abuse(7.89±3.02), sexual abuse(6.47±2.28)( r=0.373, P<0.01, r=0.356, P<0.05). There was a negative correlation between the scores of physical abuse and the accuracy of explicit memory(68.75±13.33)( r=-0.281, P<0.05). The scores of physical neglect(8.98±2.67) was positively correlated with implicit memory response time(4 285.94±2 067.42)( r=0.314, P<0.05). Conclusion:Obsessions in patients with OCD are related to traumatic childhood experiences, especially physical abuse and sexual abuse.Physical trauma may influence the level of implicit and explicit memory in patients with OCD.

It was demonstrated that there was significantly antigeni c drift in the influenza virus strains from Guangdong in 1996. It was the molecu lar basis of the variation on A、B、C、D and E domain encoded by HA gene, especi ally on A、C and E domain while the change of receptor binding domain played the slight roles in the 1996 influenza outbreak. In the other hand, the variation of No 145 and No 193 encoded by HA gene resulted in biological-feature changes of epidemical influenza isolates, which could be isolated and cultured by MDCK c ell-lines, but difficultly by embryonated-eggs.

Objective To study the expression and prognostic significance of neuroendocrine differentiation markers chromogranin A(CgA)and synaptophysin(SYN) in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods From January 2000 to January 2003,123 patients with NSCLC who received operations were investigated.The resected specimens and clinical data were collected.Immunohistochemical Elivison method was used to detecte the expression of CgA and SYN.Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Cox proportional hazard model multivariate analysis were applied for the prognostic factors. Results The positive expression rates of CgA and SYN were 22%,17.9%,respectively.The expression of SYN was associated with histological differentiation(P=0.001).No significant association was found between NSCLC with neuroendocrine differentiation(NSCLC-ND) and sex,age,smoke index,TNM Stage and pathology classification.No evidence showed the patients with positive expression of CgA or SYN could be tolerant with more cycles of chemotherapy(P=0.406).Kaplan-Meier survival curve indicated the survival had a relation with the expression of CgA and SYN.It was revealed by Cox analysis that SYN(P=0.001),TNM stage(P=0.02)and the maximal diameter of tumor(P=0.049) were independent prognostic factors. Conclusion The patients with NSCLC-ND had a poorer prognosis.SYN may be one of the prognostic factors in patients with NSCLC.

Objective To understand healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in a maternal and child health care hos-pital,so as to provide scientific evidences for further targeted surveillance.Methods A cross-sectional survey was performed by bedside visiting and medical record reviewing.Results Of 768 hospitalized patients,9(1 .18%)had HAI,the top 3 highest prevalence rates were found in obstetrical intensive care unit (9.09%),neonatal intensive care unit (5.80%)and gynecological department II(2.22%).Antimicrobial usage rate was 30.34%(n=233),134 of which (57.51 %)were prophylactic use,165 were mono-therapy(70.82%).A total of 5 pathogenic bacteria were isolated,the number of Streptococcus agalactiae ,Klebsiella pneumonia ,Enterococcus faecalis ,and Staphylococcus saprophyticus was 2,1 ,1 ,and 1 respectively,except Streptococcus agalactiae ,the other 3 strains were multidrug-resistant organisms(MDROs).Conclusion Surveillance on MDRO infection should be paid much attention,the oc-currence of MDRO infection should be reduced through targeted and bundle intervention.

ObjectiveTo establish pediatric serum CysC reference intervals based on the children's hospital laboratory data in Zhejiang Province and analyse the effects of CysClevels on age and gender. MethodsCysC was one of tests of a routine biochemical screening panel employed for most outpatients and inpatients in the children's hospital, and 8 127 subjects (4 264 boys and 3 863 girls) were selected from 13 567 subjects from laboratory information system according to the exclusion criterion with seriously systemic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases, elevated values of creatinine, urea or ALT for which 1.5-fold upper limit, serum samples with hemolysis, icterus or lipid turbidity, same patients with non-first-time CysC results and living addresses which were not in Zhejiang. The serum CysC was determined by transmission turbidimetry on Roche DPP modular automatic biochemical analyzer. SPSS 17.0 software and EXCEL 2003 were employed for statistical analysis in this study. Results The serum CysC concentration was a Gaussian distribution after log transformation. The mean Log-transformated CysC lg (CysC) concentration of boys in five age groups ( ＜ 1 month, 1 to 3 months, 4 to 11 months, 1 to 2 years and 2 to 16 years) were 0. 224,0. 170,0. 112,0. 061, -0. 011 (mg/L,lg) respectively, and the mean Log-transformated CysC lg(CysC) concentration of girls in five age groups were 0. 222, 0. 164, 0. 089, 0. 057,-0. 010 ( mmg/L, lg) respectively, and no statistically significant differences between Ig( CysC ) and gender in five age groups were found ( t values were 0. 174, 0. 362, 0. 445,- 1. 464 and - 0. 093, respectively,and corresponding P values all were greater than 0. 05 ). The mean lg ( CysC ) concentrations in five age groups were 0. 222,0. 166,0. 100,0. 059, - 0. 010 ( mmg/L, lg), and significant differences between Lg ( CysC ) and ages by Analysis of Variance were observed ( F = 309. 785 and P = 0 in between-groups totally,P = 0 in any two groups). Serum CysC levels were highest in the age of ＜ 1 month, then declined to the age of 2 years and kept stable in the age of 2 to 16 years. The serum CysC reference intervals for children were as follows:0. 95 -2. 92 mg/L in the age of ＜ 1 month, 0. 81 -2.67 mg/L in the age of 1 to 3 months, 0. 65 -2.45 mg/L in the age of 4 tol2 months, 0. 56 -2. 35 mg/L in the age of 1 year and 0. 45 -2. 13 mg/L in the age of 2 to 16 years. ConclusionsThere is no significant effect on pediatric CysC levels with gender but close correlated with age below 2 years old. It is necessary to establish appropriate age-related reference intervals of serum CysC for efficiently evaluating renal function in local children.
