OBJECTIVE:To discuss the risk factors for lung infection of CRAb in ICU,and to provide reference for clinical di-agnosis and treatment. METHODS:The univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were conducted with the method of case-control study,in which the clinical data of 105 cases of lung infection of CRAb in ICU were collected from our hospital during Jun. 2012 to Jun. 2014,with the 81 cases of CRAb and 24 cases of CSAb. RESULTS:The univariate analysis showed that those factors were significantly correlated with lung infection of CRAb in ICU,such as ICU hospitalization days be-fore isolation of Ab,total stay in ICU,respiratory failure,hypoproteinemia,mechanical ventilation,mechanical ventilation days, the application of carbapenem antimicrobial agents and combined use of antimicrobial agents within 15 days before isolation of Ab, abnormal C-reactive protein detection,abnormal procalcitonin detection. The multivariate analysis showed that ICU hospitalization days before isolation of Ab,the application of carbapenem antimicrobial agents within 15 days before isolation of Ab,mechanical ventilation,hypoproteinemia were the independent risk factors of CRAb. CONCLUSIONS:Based on risk factors,the measures should be taken for high-risk patients as soon as possible in ICU to prevent and treat lung infection of CRAb.

Objective To explore the bacterial spectrum and drug resistance that separated from respiratory tract of schizophrene.Methods 311 samples taken from the respiratory tract of schizophrenes were investigated and analyzed.Results From 311 samples 58 pathogenic bacteria were separated,the gram negative was 55.93% and the gram positives was 44.07%;5 most pathogenic commoly bacteria were klesbsiella pneumoniae and S.aureus and escherichia coli and streptococcus and enterococcus;Except that all the staphylococcus were sensitive to vancomycin,enterobacteriaceae were sensitive to imipenem,all the other separated strains showed total resistance to the agents tested in different levels,also the multidrug resistance emerged in lower respiratory tract infections with mulitidrug resistance in high levels.Conclusion The most common pathogenic bacteria separated from these schizophrene are klesbaiella pneumoniae and S.aureus.In clinical therapy,sensitive antibiotics should be selected according to the drug sensitive tests,combine with other agents when necessary to accelerate the clearance of bacteria from infectious respiratory tract in schizophrene.

Objective:To investigate the neuropsychological characteristics of Chinese agraphia caused by basal ganglia(BG)infarction.Methods:The writing abilities of 40 patients with BG infarction were detected by Chinese agraphia battery(CAB),and all the writing scores and agraphia quotient were calculated.The head CT/MRI images in agraphia and non-agraphia groups were standardized,the infarction were revealed and the superposition of two-dimensional arrays were performed,so that the central tendency of infarction was visually displayed.Results: Among the 40 patients,21 had left BG infraction,and 17 had agraphia;19 had right BG infraction,and 4 had agraphia.The two-dimensional superimposing neuroimages showed that BG infarctions caused agraphia was mostly in the left BG,including the left putamen,the head and body of the caudate nucleus,but there were fewer infarctions in the right putamen and the body of the candate nucleus.BG infarction caused agraphia was mostly aphasic agraphia,which was characterized by the orthographic disorders,paragraphia,and grammar mistakes.Conclusions: BG infarction may result in aphasic agraphia,which suggested that BG is involed in writing and processing,and it is the subcortical center of this advanced neurofunction in writing.

BAcKGROUND:In recent years,the pedicle screws fixation technique,which is used in fixation for atlantoaxial instability associated with trauma,severe degeneration and tumorectomy,has been developed.However,this kind of technique easily causes several complications,including malpositional screws,vascular injuries,and even vertebral artery injury.Based on the biomechanical characteristics of memory alloy and determination of atlantoaxial data,a neotype shape memory alloy cervical hook was designed to treat atlantoaxial instability.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the biomechanieal characteristics of the neotype shape memory alloy cervical hook for atlantoaxial instability.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:Repeated measurement analysis of variance test was performed in the Laboratory of Clinical Anatomy and Medical Biomechanics,Southern Medical University between March and April 2008.MATERIALS:Eight fresh adult craniocervical specimens(C0-C4)were provided by Department of Clinical Anatomy,Southern Medical University.Atlantoaxial neotype shape memory alloy cervical hook(50.8%-51.8%nickel and the remaining part was titanium)was fabricated by Shanghai Xinchang Memory Alloy Co.,Ltd.METHODS:The included eight C0-C4 specimens were used to test three-dimension ranges of motion(ROM)by fixation and neotype shape memory alloy cervical hook fixation.Then,the positions of spine varying from no loading to the maximum loading status were scanned and analyzed using image processing software to determine the three-dimensional ROM under different statuses.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Three-dimensional ROM of tested specimens.RESULTS:Neotype shape memory alloy cervical hook fixation and Germany AESCULAP SSE hanger fixation had similar flexion-extension range of motion(P=0.595).Lateral bending three-dimensional ROM was greater in the neotype shape memory alloy cervical hook fixation group than in the Germany AESCULAP AAE hanger fixation(P< 0.05).The rotatory three-dimensional ROM was smaller in the neotype shape memory alloy cervical hook fixation group than in the Germany AESCULAP AAE hanger fixation(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Neotype shape memory alloy cervical hook fixation had comparative post-surgery immediate stability with the Germany AESCULAP AAE hanger fixation.Neotype shape memory alloy cervical hook fixation produced a little worse biomechanical lateral bending stability and a little better biomechanical rotatory stability than Germany AESCULAP AAE hanger fixation.

BACKGROUND:Hydroxyapatite-coated titanium substrates improve the biocompatibility and have the property of intimating ossteointegration with host bonebed. However, hydroxyapatite lacks the necessary mechanical strength and degrades easily in the extracelular fluids, which may affect the stability of the titanium implant.
OBJECTIVE:To study the synthesis and characterization of lanthanum-incorporated hydroxyapatite coatings.
METHODS: Lanthanum-incorporated hydroxyapatite coatings were prepared by hydroxyapatite and 10%, 20% and 30% lanthanum, respectively, by means of sol-gel, which were then deposited on titanium substrates with dip-withdrawal technique. Surface morphology and crystaline microstructure of the coatings were observed by scanning electron microscope. The presence of functional groups for the obtained samples was performed by Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The Ca2+ concentration released from the coatings was measured by atomic absorption spectrometry for analysis of degradation property.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: With the increase of lanthanum content, the diffraction peak and crystalinity of lanthanum-incorporated hydroxyapatite coatings were increased, but the whole structure of lanthanum-incorporated hydroxyapatites had little changes. The crystal structure maintained stable with charge balance. The lanthanum-incorporated hydroxyapatite coatings showed uniform and high-dense structure and were free of cracks, indicating the coatings had good bonding strength. Under the simulated biological environment, based on the determination of Ca2+ release from the coatings, we can conclude the lanthanum-incorporated hydroxyapatite coatings have a stronger acidoresistance.

Objective To study the drug resistance of infection bacteria deriving from acute appendicitis patients.Methods The separation and the drug sensitive characteristic of bacteria deriving from the specimen of acute appendicitis patients were ana-lyzed,who were admitted in the general department of our hospital from January to June 2013.Results One hundred and six bacte-ria strains were isolated.Among them,100 (94.34%)strains were Gram negative bacteria strains,including escherichia coli,kleb-siella pneumonia bacillus and verdigris fake single spore bacterium,in a proportion of 67.92%,1 1.32% and 5.66% respectively. The resistance of piperacillin,ciprofloxacin,gentamycin,levofloxacin,tobramycin and cefepime was high in Gram negative bacteria, while the lower resistance to piperacillin/ tazobactam,cefoxitin and imipenem.Conclusion The resistant rate of acute appendicitis infection bacteria is high.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of different reference vessel groups on CT perfusion in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) after radiation therapy,and explore the feasibility of substitution of reference vessel.MethodsThirty patients with NPC after radiation therapy were divide into two groups,recurrence group ( n =19) and fibrosis group ( n =11 ).All patients underwent CT perfusion scans,and the CT parameters were calculated with different arterial input and vein output in order to study their differences.The vessels were internal carotid artery-internal jugular vein( ICA-IJV group),external carotid artery-retomandibular vein (ECA-RTV group)and external carotid artery-internal jugular vein( ECAIJV group) respectively.The differences of the CT parameters between local recurrence group and fibrosis group were compared among the various vessel groups by rank sum test.With the help of receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC),the diagnostic efficiencies were compared by the area under the ROC curve (AUC).ResultsIn ICA-IJV group,ECA-RTV group and ECA-IJV group,bloood flow(BF) of local recurrence group were 201.88,439.59,252.23 ml · min-1 · 100 g-1,while BF of fibrosis group were 98.96,180.50,106.55 ml · min-1 · 100 g-1.Blood volume (BV) of local recurrence group were 6.71,12.39,6.70 ml/l00 g,while BV of fibrosis group were 2.35,4.76,2.95 ml/100 g.Mean transit time (MTT) of local recurrence group were 1.66,1.50,1.56 s,while MTT of fibrosis group were 2.13,1.96,1.79 s.Permeability surface (PS) of local recurrence group were 19.31,36.39,15.22 ml · min- 1 ·100 g-1,while they were 16.58,29.08 ,16.63 ml · min-1 · 100 g-1 in the fibrosis group.The differencesof BF and BV between the local recurrence group and fibrosis group were statistically significant in each vessel group (P ＜ 0.05 ) but MTT and PS showed no significant difference( P ＞ 0.05 ).In ICA-IJV group,the AUC of BF,BV,MTT,PS were 0.909,0.947,0.677,0.703,respectively.BF,BV,MTT,PS in ECA-RTV group were 0.938,0.967,0.648,0.679 respectively,and those in ECA-IJV group were 0.861,0.890,0.641,0.656 respectively.However,AUC of BF and BV of three groups all had significant difference ( P ＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionsBoth BF and BV values calculated by three pairs of reference vessels had enough diagnosis efficiency for local recurrence and fibrosis,so all of the three groups of vessels may substitute each other in CT perfusion.

Objective To investigate the effects of C-terminal fragment of parathyroid hormonerelated protein (PTHrP107-139) on bone mineral density (BMD), bone histomorphometry and biomechanical properties in ovariectomized (OVX) rats and its effect on bone metabolism is also explored. Methods Forty 4-month old female Wistar rats in which 30 were ovariectomized and then divided into 3 groups: the placebo, the PTHrPC and the CT groups, the other 10 rats were Sham-operated as the control group (Sham). Five weeks later, the rats of PTHrPC and CT groups were subcutaneously injected with PTHrP107-139 (40 μg/kg) and Salmon Calcitonin (15 U/kg) respectively once every other day. The rats of the placebo and sham groups were injected with 0.2 ml saline once every other day. After treatment of 12 weeks, all rats were sacrificed and all samples were collected and analyzed. Results ① Compared with the placebo, the BMD and bone strength of PTHrPC and CT groups were significantly increased (P<0.05). ② Histomorphometry revealed that the tetracycline labeled bone surfaces, osteoid surfaces, mineral apposition rate and bone resorption rate were remarkably decreased in PTHrPC, and CT groups comparing with those of the placebo group. Conclusion Cter-minal PTHrP107-139 is effective in increasing the BMD, bone strength and quality when administered intermittently to ovariectomy-induced osteoporotic rats. Its increasing in bone quality may relate to reducing bone turnover and inhibiting resorption.
