Objective To understand the immune regulatory function of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDC) in patients with chronic severe hepatitis B (CSHB) and its roles in the severe illness progression of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) by detecting surface phenotype of MoDC and expression level of cytokines in MoDC after polyl : C treatment. Methods The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated by Ficoll density gradient separation from 37 patients with CSHB, 20 patients with CHB, and 20 healthy controls (NC). Purified PBMC were acquired using immunomagnetic anti-CD14-beads. Then PBMC were induced to immature dendritic cell (iDC) in vitro. PolyI : C was added to induce DC maturation. The mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of the phenotype marker molecules including HLA-DR, CD83, CD86 and CD80 on surface of iDC and mature DC (mDC) were detected by flow cytometry. The supernatants of MoDC culture were collected at 12,24 and 48 h after polyI : C treatment, respectively and the release levels of interleukin (IL)-12, IL-6and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Comparisons among groups were done by single factor analysis of variance and homogeneity of variance was tested. Results There were no significant differences of phenotype marker molecules on cell surface of iDC, including HLA-DR, CD83, CD86 and CD80 in CSHB, CHB and NC groups.However, the expressions of HLA-DR, CD83, CD86 and CD80 on cell surface of mDC in CSHB group were lower than those in CHB and NC groups (F=59.73, 13.95, 34.80 and 73.02, respectively; all P＜0. 05). The secretions of IL-12 at three time points of 12 h, 24 h and 48 h after polyI : C treatment in group NC were higher than those in CHB and CSHB groups (F= 151.34, 126.65 and 72.76, respectively; P＜0.05), and peaked at 24 h which were (48.2±7.6), (56.7±11.8) and (97.8±16.2) ng/L, respectively. The secretions of IL-6 at the above three time points were CSHB＞CHB＞NC (F=92.50, 86.89 and 64.57, respectively; all P＜0. 05) and peaked at 12 h which were (1698.3±340.4), (965.8±231.7), (697.8±213.6) ng/L, respectively. The secretions of TNF-αat the above three time points were CSHB＞CHB＞NC (F=58.66, 122.36 and 44.73, respectively;all P＜0. 05) and were (19 672. 7±4214. 7), (9946. 1 ± 2586 5), (6659. 2±955. 8) ng/L,respectively at 24 h after treatment. Conclusions MoDCs of CSHB patients show mature defection and abnormal cytokine secretion. The expression level of IL-12 which mediates cellular immune is low.Meanwhile, the productions of IL-6 and TNF-α which mediate inflammatory response are up-regulated. This may be one of the major factors which lead to exacerbation of liver inflammation and ultimately development of severe hepatitis.

Ten patients with perianal necrotizing fasciitis were admitted to our department from June to December 2016. There were 8 men and 2 women among the patients, aged 42 to 69 years. Early and complete debridement surgery and comprehensive supportive treatment during perioperative period were carried out to quickly stabilize the patient′s overall condition, and wounds were sutured directly or repaired with autologous scalps and or adjacent local random flaps. After debridement, wound areas ranged from 10 cm×8 cm to 54 cm×21 cm, and area of the flap was about 8 cm×5 cm. The donor site of flap was sutured directly. After the operation, all skin grafts and the flap survived, and wounds of all patients healed. During follow-up of six months to one year, there was no recurrence of perianal necrotizing fasciitis, and functions of the involved lower extremities didn′t be influenced.

Throughout history,the development of medicine has been accompanied by the embodiment of humanity.In recent years,with the vigorous development of medical humanities,its connotation has been continuously enriched.Intensive care unit(ICU),at the forefront of treatment for critically ill patients,encounters many ethical risks and moral issues.Therefore,humanistic care for patients and the humanistic literacy of medical staff are particularly important.From the perspective of frontline doctors in the ICU,this article briefly discusses the reflection on the cognition of humanistic literacy,medical humanistic education,and humanistic practice within the ICU.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors related to intensive care unit (ICU) readmission .Methods :A total of 2491 patients who had been transferred into Department of Critical Care Medicine of Zhongshan Hospital ,Fudan University from Nov 2008 to Dec 2011 were included .Clinical data of all the patients during their first admission to ICU were collected .All the patients were classified into non‐readmission group(Group A) and readmission group(Group B) on the basis of whether there was readmission to ICU .All the patients’ treatments were conducted under supervision of attending intensivist and in accordance with routine treatment of Department of Critical Care Medicine and related clinical guidelines .Logistic regression was performed in multivariate analyses of ICU readmission .Results:If the first admission to ICU was due to emergency ,then the chance of ICU readmission was raised(HR=4 .929 ,95% CI:1 .936‐12 .549 ,P<0 .01) .If patient underwent tracheotomy during the first ICU stay ,then the chance of ICU readmission increased (HR= 3 .395 ,95% CI:1 .622‐7 .107 , P< 0 .01) . Conclusions :Both the admission to ICU under emergency and the tracheotomy during the first ICU admission are independent risk factors for ICU readmission .
