Objective To investigate the diagnosis and disease assessment of serum pancreatic stone protein(PSP/reg) in ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP) by a prospective study.Methods The blood sample was collected in patients with mechanical ventilation(MV) from September 2012 to October 2015.Then the concentration of PSP/reg was detected by ELISA method and the time of MV and the outcome of VAP were recorded,while the patients who did not have VAP occurred in the same period regarded as control group.Results Compared with the control group,there was no significant difference in the serum concentration of PSP/reg in VAP group(P>0.05).From continuous monitoring,compared with the start time of MV,there was a significant increase in the concentration of PSP/reg in VAP group(P<0.05),and reached the highest peak in the fourth day.That of the seventh day was significantly decreased,but still higher than the first day(P<0.05).It decreased further in the fourteenth day,but compared to the start time of MV was still higher(P<0.05).In this study,38 cases were successfully evacuated in VAP group.Compared with the fourth day,the concentration of PSP/reg in the 38 cases in the stop of MV had significantly decreased(P<0.05),close to that of in the start of MV,but still a difference between them(P<0.05),and higher than that of the control group in the stop of MV(P<0.05).By Spearman analysis,we found that PSP/reg concentration in the first day had a significant correlation with CRP(r=0.570,P<0.05),but WBC and PCT were not(P>0.05).Conclusion PSP/reg can be used as one of the indicators for diagnosis of VAP,and may be related to the severity of VAP.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and prognosis evaluation value of neutrophil elastase (NE) in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted.The data of patients undergoing mechanical ventilation admitted to Department of Central Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Boai Hospital of Zhongshan City Affiliated to Southern Medical University from September 2012 to October 2015 were enrolled.The patients were divided into two groups according to whether they suffered from VAP or not.The content of NE in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) at the time of mechanical ventilation start,VAP diagnosis (the worst value from 48 hours after mechanical ventilation start to weaning in non-VAP patients),and at the time before mechanical ventilation weaning,as well as inflammation parameters,clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS),duration of mechanical ventilation and prognosis were recorded.Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to analyze the predictive value of NE on VAP diagnosis and prognosis.Results Finally 38 patients were enrolled in the VAP group,and 40 in non-VAP group,and baseline data was similar between the two groups.There was no significant difference in the content of NE in serum and BALF between VAP group and non-VAP group [serum NE (μg/L):67.04 (63.00,75.75) vs.69.00 (63.75,75.00),BALF NE (μg/L):96.26 (85.26,176.01) vs.95.26 (86.76,107.11),both P > 0.05].From continuous monitoring,no significant change in the content of NE in serum and BALF during mechanical ventilation was found in the non-VAP group,but the content of NE in serum and BALF at the time of VAP diagnosis in VAP group was significantly higher than that at mechanical ventilation start [μg/L:157.00 (153.04,165.75) vs.67.04 (63.00,75.75),178.04 (153.00,188.25) vs.96.26 (85.26,176.01),both P < 0.05],and NE content in serum and BALF was significantly decreased at the time after VAP clinical recovery and before mechanical ventilation weaning [μg/L:75.67 (64.51,110.55) vs.157.00 (153.04,165.79),95.50 (66.56,183.02) vs.178.04 (153.00,188.25),both P < 0.05].The NE in the start time of VAP in VAP group was divided into four groups according to quartile,it was found that with the increase of NE content in serum and BALF,the CPIS was increased,the duration of mechanical ventilation was prolonged,and the prognosis was poor (all P < 0.01).Compared with non-VAP group,white blood cell count (WBC),neutrocyte proportion,C-reactive protein (CRP),and procalcitonin (PCT) in VAP group were significantly increased (all P < 0.01).NE in BALF was significantly positively correlated with WBC,neutrocyte proportion,CRP and PCT (r value was 0.507,0.432,0.779,and 0.519,respectively,all P =0.000),among which the highest correlation was CRP.NE in BALF used for VAP diagnosis has good accuracy,with sensitivity of 87.4%,and specificity of 90.6%,and sensitivity and specificity of NE in serum for VAP diagnosis was 78.6% and 79.2% respectively.Conclusion NE can be used as one of the indicators for VAP diagnosis,and it is related to the prognosis of VAP.

Objective: To investigate the expression of HSPC238 in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer.Methods:We collected 76 cases of cervical cancer,105 cases of CIN and 28 cases of normal cervical epithelial.Then we inves-tigated the expression of HSPC238 by using immunohistochemistry and compared the significant differences between them.Results:There was no significant difference in the expression of HSPC238 between the cervical cancer and normal cervical epithelial ( Z=-0.242,P>0.05).However,there was significant difference between the cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and normal cervical epithelial (χ2=19.159,P<0.01) and the expression of HSPC238 was correlated with the grades of CIN.The expression of HSPC238 decreased when the grade of CIN was increasing.( rs=-0.327,P<0.01 ).Conclusion:The low expression of HSPC238 might be correlated with the development of cervical neoplasia.
