Surgical site infection(SSI) is one of post-operative complications in gastrointestinal surgery. SSI may increase the morbidity and mortality of surgical patients and increase their hospital stay and expense. The risk factors can come from patients, physicians and hospital environments. Improving patients nutritional status and organ function, appropriate control of blood sugar level and abstinence from smoking can reduce the occurrence of SSI. Compare to current practice in China, the following recommendations have been identified as priorities for implementation: hair removal done immediately before operation; maintenance of normothermia intraoperatively; the abdominal wall should be closed with an absorbable suture and drains should be removed as early as possible. SSI could be diagnosed by symptoms, local signs and lab examinations and confirmed by physician. Source control is the key point in the management of SSI. Ultrasound and CT guided percutaneous abscess drainage is effective in the localized deep space surgical site infection and critically ill patients. Antibiotics should be used following clinical assessment and evidence based on local formulary.

BACKGROUND: Cathepsin E, an intracellular asparUc proteinase of pepsin family, Is composed of 2 homologous domains, each containing a consensus DTG motif, in which the role of aspartic acid (Asp98) is still unknown. OBJECTIVE: To determine the role of Asp98 in the catalysis of Cathepsin E. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An observation experiment was performed in the Guangdong Pharmacological College between November 2007 and December 2008.MATERIALS: Rat Cathepsin E antibody was prepared according to the references, and the purified with affinity chromatography. PcDNA3.0 was offered from Guangzhou Ganewindows Biotech Ltd. Human embryo kidney 293 cell strain was offered from Stem Cell Bank,Chinese Academy of Sciences.METHODS: The cDNA containing full-length rat Cathepsln E was inserted into pBluescdpt IISK plasmid between Smal and Xhol. Asp98 was replaced with an acidic amino acid termed glutamic acid to produce a D98E mutant by Kunkel gene site-directad mutagenesis and expressed in human embryo renal cells.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Expression of wild type and mutant protein was determined, the wild type and mutant Cathepsin E was purified, the enzyme activity, folding and self-precessing were analyzed. RESULTS: Hetaroganous expression of wild type and mutant rat Cathepsin E were found in human embryo kidney 293 cells, and both were expressed in the cell culture media and cell lysate. Mutant D98E was still able to auto-activate into mature enzyme, although its activity was only 13% of that of wild type. The Km value of mutant was similar to that of wild type, but its K<,cat> value was significantly smaller than that of wild type. Both mutant and wild type were inhibited by pepstatin and Ascaris pepsin inhibitor with similar Ki values. The CD spectra of mutant and wild type were similar.CONCLUSION: The Asp98 plays an important role in catalysis, and it can be partly replaced by glutamic acid. Mutant D98E has a lowered activity since the mutation affects the catalytic efficiency.

Object: To explore the best modern appeearance of the nurse. Methods: Investigate the nursing students and clients and analysis the results. Result: The difference between the nursing clients and the nursing students is sure existence. Discuss: (1) Nursing teaching still should pay attention to the effect of biomedicine model. (2)To develop nursing speciality to make the nursing clients have a right understand to nursing

ObjectiveTo explore the diagnosis value of color Doppler ultrasound of the carotid atherosclerosis plaques in diabetic patients. MethodsColor Doppler ultrasonic assessment of carotid was performed in 124 diabetic patients(test group)and 100 normal controls(control group).The intima-media thickness(IMT)and the carotid atherosclerosis plaques parameters were measured.The results were compared and analyzed between two groups. ResultsThe IMT and the incidence rate of carotid atherosclerosis plaques in the test group were higher than those in the control group(all P＜0.05).There was no statistical difference in the site of the plaques between test and control group(P＞0.05). ConclusionThe incidence rate of the carotid atherosclerosis of type 2 diabetes was higher.Carotid color Doppler ultrasonography was an optimal technique for screening and diagnosing atherosclerosis.

It is an important turning point that early diagnosis and prompts initiation of adequate treatment improve the outcomes of primary or secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) which is a rare life-threatening syndrome.Even though the survival rate of the patients with HLH has been improved because of the immunochemotherapy or targeted immunotherapy based on new findings in the immunopathogenesis and the genetic defects,reducing the mortality will be main challenge for the pediatricians in pediatric intensive care unit.All of the clinical features are significant clues for the diagnosis,including continuing fever,specific liver dysfunction with coagulation abnormalities,pancytopenia,hypertriglyceridemia and hyperferritinemia.Defining patients' natural killer cells status during the different stages of sepsis and autoimmune diseases will be guiding innovative immunointerventions.

The new current versions of Hospital Finance System and Hospital Accounting System promote the reform of medicine accounting. It requires the method of the drugs cost accounting to change the retailing price accounting to the purchasing price accounting. It clearly defines individual valuation method, “first-in, first-out” method or weighted average method should be used to determine the actual cost of the materials based on the actual situation. It analyzes the problems of medical management and cost accounting, and proposes the practical solutions to strengthen the standard management of medicine and the medical cost accounting.
