BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that inflammatory cytokines may influence the prognosis after myocardial infarction, and play an important role in the process of cardiac remodeling. The non-hematopoietic effects of
erythropoietin have been confirmed:erythropoietin can reduce the inflammatory reaction through bending with
the erythropoietin on the surface of target cel membrane, thus decreasing the reperfusion injury after myocardial ischemia.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of recombinant human erythropoietin on the inflammatory factor expression during cardiac remodeling in rats with acute myocardial infarction.
METHODS: Sprague Dawley rat models of acute myocardial infarction were established through the ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The rats were divided into five groups:sham operation group was
injected with normal saline;operation control group was injected with normal saline after modeling;SB203580 group was injected with highly selective p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 after modeling;erythropoietin group was injected with
erythropoietin after modeling;the erythropoietin+SB203580 group was injected with erythropoietin+SB203580 mixed solution after modeling. The tail vein blood samples were col ected before modeling, 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after modeling, and then enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the levels of interleukin-1β, interlrukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were no significant differences in the levels of interleukin-1β, interlrukin-6 and
tumor necrosis factor-αbetween groups before modeling (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the levels of interleukin-1β, interlrukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-αbetween different time points in the sham operation group (P>0.05), and the levels were highest at 1 day after modeling in the other four groups, and then decreased at 4 weeks after modeling (P<0.05). After modeling, the level of serum cytokines in the operation control group were higher than those in the other four groups, while level of serum cytokines in the sham operation group was lower than that in the other four groups (P<0.05);among the three groups intervened with drugs, level of serum cytokines was lower in the
erythropoietin+SB203580 group (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in the level of serum cytokines between erythropoietin group and SB203580 group (P>0.05). Recombinant human erythropoietin can inhibit the expressions of inflammatory factors (interleukin-1β, interlrukin-6 and the tumor necrosis factor-α) during cardiac
remodeling after rat acute myocardial infarction, and the mechanism of recombinant human erythropoietin for inhibiting the expressions of inflammatory factors may related with the transforming growth factorβ1-TAK1-p38 MAPK signal pathway.

Objective:To study the changes of endothelin-1(ET-1) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in Kawasaki disease (KD) and to probe the relationship between the changes of ET-1, MDA and coronary artery pathological changes. Methods: KD group included 42 patients ( male 25, female 17), with a mean age of (3.25?0.75) years old; control group included 30 normal children (male 19, female 11), with a mean age of (3.58?0.55) years old. Serum contents of ET-1 and MDA were measured by radioimmunology and modified thiabarbituricaid(TBA) method in 2 groups, and the inner diameters of coronary artery and aorta were measured by color echocardiography. KD group was subdivided into dilated-coronary artery group and undilated group for comparison.Results: Serum contents of ET-1 and MDA in KD group were apparently higher than those in control group (-[76.63?18.36-] vs -[41.55?16.68-] pg/ml and -[3.18?0.60-] vs -[1.52?0.24-] ?mol/L,respectively;P

Objective To explore the clinical effect of innovative bladder irrigation on prevention of urinary tract infection in neurogenic bladder patients with clean intermittent catheterization after spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods 40 neurogenic bladder patients with clean intermittent catheterization after SCI were divided into observation group (n=20) and control group (n=20). The observation group received innovative bladder irrigation with normal saline 500 ml every other day, and the control group received normal bladder irrigation with normal saline 500 ml every day. Results 4 weeks and 6 weeks after treatment, the incidence of urinary tract infection was lower in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The innovative bladder irrigation method can decrease the rate of urinary tract infection in neurogenic bladder patients with clean intermittent catheterization after SCI.

Objective To evaluate the clinical,microbiological and epidemiological characteristics of enterococcal bloodstream infections (BSIs).Methods Microbiological and clinical data were retrospectively collected and reviewed for the adult patients with enterococcal BSI who were treated in Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital from January 1,2011 to November 30,2013. Results Of the 92 cases of enterococcal BSIs,21 were due to E.faecalis and 71 were caused by E.faecium,respectively.The BSI was hospital acquired in 67 cases.The other were community acquired BSI.E.faecalis BSIs were complicated with uremia (42.9%),heart disease (23.8%),pulmonary infection (19.0%)and central neurological disorder (19.0%),while E. faecium BSIs were complicated with hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases (40.8%),neoplastic disease(40.8%)and pulmonary infection (40.8%).Risk factors for E.faecium acquisition were mainly central venous catheter (73.2%),recent surgey within 30 days (62.0%),elderly patients (52.1%),ICU admission (32.4%)and invasive mechanical ventilation (26.8%).Strains of E.faecalis were 100% susceptible to ampicillin and vancomycin,90.4% to linezolid.Strains of E.faecium were 100%susceptible to linezolid,96.9% to vancomycin, and approximately 90% resistant to ampicillin and penicillin. Logistic with hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases had lower mortality rate than other patients.Conclusions E .faecium is responsible for majority of the enterococcal BSIs.E .faecium strains have higher resistance rate to most antimicrobial agents tested than E . fecalis .Elderly patients,ICU admission,invasive mechanical ventilation and neoplastic diseases are the independent risk factors of 15-day mortality.Adequate antimicrobial therapy within 48 hours can decrease the mortality rate effectively.

Objective To investigate antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli (E.coli)and Klebsiella pneumoniae (K.pneumoniae),antimicrobial use density(AUD),as well as relation between antimicrobial resistance and AUD in a ter-tiary first-class hospital.Methods Antimicrobial resistance rates of clinically-isolated E.coli and K.pneumoniae,AUD of carbapenems and quinolones,as well as relation between resistance and AUD in 2013-2015 were statistically analyzed. Results Correlation analysis of antimicrobial resistance of bacteria and AUD showed that the decrease in resistance rate of E.coli to levofloxacin was related to the decrease in the use density of quinolones(r=0.61,P=0.03);increase in resist-ance rate of K.pneumoniae to imipenem was related to the increase in the use density of carbapenems(r=0.78,P<0.01). Conclusion Antimicrobial use is one of the causes of bacterial resistance,management on antimicrobial use needs to be strengthened to reduce the threat of bacterial resistance to human health.

Objective The relationship was analyzed between clinic and the expression intensity of HBsAg and HBcAg with in the hepatic tissue from the serum HBeAg negative group and the positive group.Methods A total of 317 liver biopsy specimens were divided into the HBeAg negative group and the positive group,and the relationship was analyzed between the expression inten sity of HBsAg and HBcAg within the hepatic tissue and their age,gender,ALT level,serum HBV-DNA load,hepatic inflammatory activity grading and fibrosis staging in the two groups.Results Age,ALT level,hepatic inflammatory activity grading and fibrosis of the serum HBeAg negative patients were greater than those of the serum HBeAg positive patients,while their serum HBV-DNA load and the expression intensity of HBcAg within the hepatic tissue were lower than those of the serum HBeAg positive patients (P＜0.05).The expression intensity of HBsAg within the hepatic tissue between the serum HBeAg patients and the serum HBeAg positive patients was not significantly different,and it was not correlated with age,ALT level,hepatic inflammatory grading and fi brosis staging (P＞0.05).After the serum HBeAg turned negative,the expression intensity of HBcAg within the hepatic tissue was decreased (P=0.00,t=12 349.0),and it became positively correlated with the serum HBV DNA load(P=0.007,r=0.251) and its negative correlation with the hepatic inflammatory activity and fibrosis was weakened.Conclusion After the serum HBeAg turned negative,other antigenic components of HBV may still maintain the adequately active immune status within the hepatic tis sue of organisms.After the serum HBeAg turned negative,the expression intensity of HBcAg within the hepatic tissue was de creased and became positively correlated with the serum HBV DNA,while its negative correlation with the hepatic inflammatory activity grade and fibrosis stagings was weakened.
