BACKGROUND:The phenomenon of temporary ischemia of the tissues and organs caused by injury is common in the clinic. However, there are few studies on the treatment of ischemia/reperfusion injury. It is significant to investigate the effect of TanshinoneⅡA on improving uterine ischemia/reperfusion injury in a rat model. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of TanshinoneⅡA intervention on improving uterine ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats. METHODS:The rat models of uterine ischemia/reperfusion injury were established by suture method. The rats that were intraperitonealy injected with Sodium Tanshinone IIA Silate injection (20 mg/kg) at 5, 3, 1 days and 30 minutes before the operation were included in the experimental group. Model and sham operation groups were established for comparison. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Spectrophotometry and immunohistochemical staining results showed that at 1 and 3 hours of ischemia/reperfusion, the malondialdehyde concentration and Bax protein expression in the injuried rat uterine tissue were significantly decreased (P < 0.05), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and Bcl-2 protein expression were significantly increased (P < 0.05) in the experimental group than in the model group. The results confirm that TanshinoneⅡA has a protective effect on uterine ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of conductive education applied in water exercise on cerebral palsy. Methods 58 children with cerebral palsy who could accept conductive education were divided into observation group (n=29) and control group (n=29) randomly. All the children accepted routine rehabilitation, and the observation group accepted water exercise in the model of conductive education. They were assessed with muscular strength, muscular tension (modified Ashworth Scale) and the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) before and after training. Results The score of GMFM improved more in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05), as well as the incidence of improvement of muscle tension (released 1 grade or more, 75.9% vs. 44.8%, P<0.05) and muscle strength (increased 1 grade or more, 82.8% vs. 58.6%, P<0.05). Conclusion Water exercise with the conductive education model can improve the gross motor function and muscle strength, release the spasticity in children with cerebral palsy.

BACKGROUND: A latest research indicates that γ~δ T cells following touching with microbe products show characteristics as dendritic cells and antigen-presenting cells (APC) and induce intensive immune response of CD4~+ CD8~+ γ~δ T cells.OBJECTIVE: To verify APC-like functions of γ~δ T cells during transplantation rejection, investigate a simple and effective method to amplify γ~δ T cells in vitro, and to infect γ~δ T cells with FasL retrovirus system.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An animal experiment was performed at Central Laboratory of the First Affiliated Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from August 2007 to August 2008.

Objective To observe the clinical application of extraperitoneal cesarean section(ECS) plus forceps vs transperitoneal cesarean sections(TCS) in repeated cesarean section.Methods 98 multiparous women with scar uterus for elective repeated cesarean sections were recruited retrospectively,47 cases for ECS plus forceps(group A),and 51 cases for TCS(group B).The multiparous women with hyperglycemia not controlled,severe preeclampsia,heart disease,placenta previa,premature rupture of membrane,a history of ＞ 1 cesarean section,myoma and/or ovarian neoplasm were excluded.Results Skin incision to baby delivery time and total operation time of group A were (7.7 ± 2.8) min and (42.8 ± 9.7) min,respectively,which were significantly shorter than (9.3 ± 3.2) min and (47.6 ± 9.4) min of group B,(t =2.700,2.497,P =0.008,0.014).There was significant difference in blood loss volume during the operation and postoperative 2 hours,which was (310.4 ± 106.3) mL,(365.3 ± 142.8) mL respectively(t =2.142,P =0.035).The Visual Analog Scale for pain (VAS pain) was (2.8 ± 1.8) in group A and (4.1 ± 1.9) in group B,respectively (t =3.252,P =0.002).The gastrointestinal function recovery mean time of group A was significantly shorter than that of group B (12.5 h versus 16.0h,t =2.771,P =0.007).And the postoperative febrile morbidity was significantly lower in group A than in group B(8.5％ versus 25.5％ ;x2 =4.918,P =0.033).The patients with chronic pelvic pain followed up after operation was 3 versus 12,and the difference was significant (x2 =5.143,P =0.026).There were no differences in neonatal Apgar score at 1 minute,birth asphyxia and wound healing rates.Conclusion ECS plus forceps can be safely used for repeated cesarean section,with the advantages of less operation time,less bleeding volume,lower postoperative morbidity,and fewer complications than TCS.

Objective To evaluate the clinical features of adenocarcinoma of the appendix.Methods The clinical data of 5 patients with adenocarcinoma of appendix hospitalized at our hospital from Sep 2005 to Dec 2010 were analyzed.Results Intraoperatively two cases were highly suspected of malignant tumor of the appendix,diagnosis of adenocarcinoma was confirmed by frozen pathology,and one stage right hemicolectomy was performed.One patient received simple appendectomy,but postoperative pathology showed adenocarcinoma of appendix and secondary right hemicolectomy was carried out two weeks later.One patient was preoperatively misdiagnosed as periappendiceal abscess and as a result fight hemicolectomy was performed because planned appendectomy was technically impossible.The postoperative pathology revealed adenocarcinoma of the appendix.In the last patient preoperative diagnosis was hypogastric space-occupying lesion with extensive intraabdominal metastasis.During exploration adenocarcinoma of the appendix with extensive metastasis was confirmed.Right hemicolectomy and carcinectomy was performed.Postoperatively all the 5 patients underwent regular chemotherapy.We followed them for 2 to 3 years and only the patient with intraabdominal metastasis at first laparotomy suffered from extensive recurrence 2 years after surgery.Conclusions The adenocarcinoma of appendix can be easily misdiagnosed as other diseases.Radiography,careful exploration during operation and frozen pathology help establish final diagnosis.Right hemicolectomy and postoperative chemotherapy are required in order to reduce tumor recurrence and prolong patients' survival.

Objective To compare distribution and antimicrobial resistance of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus(MSSA)and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcusaureus(MRSA)in hospitalized children,and provide refer-ence for empirical use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Isolation and clinical data of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)from hospitalized children in a hospital during 2011-2015 were analyzed retrospectively,distribution and antimicrobial resistance between MSSA and MRSA were compared.Results A total of 919 strains of S.aureus were isolated,632(68.77% )of which were MSSA,287(31.23%)were MRSA.65.03% of MSSA infection and 64.11% of MRSA infection were in children aged 29 day-1 year old.80.38% of MSSA and 79.09% of MRSA were isolated from sputum specimen.MSSA and MRSA were mainly distributed in department of pediatric respiratory medicine(50.73%,45.89% respectively)and department of pediatric neurology(22.98%,26.84% respectively). Resistance rates of MSSA to antimicrobial agents were<20.00% except penicillin and erythromycin;resistance rates of MRSA to penicillin,oxacillin,erythromycin,and clindamycin were all>40.00%;resistance rates of MR-SA to tetracycline,erythromycin,clindamycin,levofloxacin,ciprofloxacin,moxifloxacin,nitrofurantoin,and ri-fampin were all higher than MSSA.Conclusion MSSA is main S.aureus isolated from hospitalized children,in-fants under 1 year of age are the main population,the main distribution departments of MSSA and MRSA from re-spiratory tract specimen are similar,antimicrobial resistance of MRSA is generally higher than that of MSSA.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and the drug resistance changes of the pathogenic bacteria isolated from the blood culture specimens collected during the period of 2006-2008.METHODS Blood culture of patients in our hospital was performed by BacT/Alert 240 and the isolated bacteria were identified by API and Microscan and tested for drug resistance against antimicrobial agent by K-B method.A retrospective analysis was made to the blood culture results during the period of 2006-2008 with WHONET 5.4 software.RESULTS Gram-negative rods were the predominant bacteria which caused sepsicemia.The isolated rates of Escherichia coli took the first place during the period of 2006-2008.Klebsiella pneumoniae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus(SAU) were also the most important pathogens which caused blood infection.The infection rate of coagulase negative staphylococcus(CNS) and P.aeruginosa had increasing tendency.Imipenem and meropenem were the most effective antibiotics(100%) to E.coli and K.pneumoniae.Then amikacin and cefoxitin also had high susceptibility to E.coli and K.pneumoniae.Furthermore,drug susceptibility in 2008 was higher than that of two years before.All antibacterials had low drug susceptibility to P.aeruginosa,and its drug resistance rate rised obviously.The drug resistance situation of Acinetobacter baumannii was serious.Except imipenem and meropenem had relatively higher susceptibility(20-69.2%),the susceptibility to other antibacterials was lower than 41.7%.Vancomycin,teicoplanin and quinupristin/dalfopristin were the most effective antibiotics to(SAU).CONCLUSIONS The species and drug resistance of the bacteria isolated from blood specimens have changed.More attention should be paid to the detection and surveillance of bacterial resistance in blood culture to promote the rational use of antibiotics.

Objective:To investigate the expression of metabolic enzymes of fluoropyrimidines in primary colorectal cancer. Methods: Sixty-one cases of pathological confirmed primary colorectal cancer were collected in Beijing Cancer Hospital from August 2003 to February 2004. The expressions of thymidylate synthase (TS), dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) and orotate phosphoribosyl transferase (OPRT) were detected in paired tumor tissues and non-cancerous tissues by RT-PCR. Results: Expression of each enzyme in tumor tissues was positively correlated with that in paired non-cancerous tissues respectively. Compared with the expression of each enzyme in cancer with that in non-cancer, OPRT was higher in cancer while that of DPD and TS was comparable. The expression of OPRT was approximately 4.38-folds higher in colorectal cancer tissues than that in non-cancerous tissues (P0.000). The lowest expression of OPRT was found in mucinous carcinoma while the highest levels in poorly-differentiated adenocarcinoma. There were correlations between the ratio of tumor tissues / non-cancerous tissues OPRT expression (T/N) and metastasis to the lymph nodes (r0.36; P0.005), small vessel invasion (r0.26; P0.041) and differentiation (r-0.33; P0.009). Conclusion: The detection of three enzymes by means of RT-PCR is practical and can be used in clinical application. Our results also suggest that OPRT is a potential biomarker in predicating prognosis of colorectal cancer.
