Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors for healthcare-associated infection (HAI)in patients with severe chronic hepatitis B (CHB),and provide theoretical basis for preventing and controlling HAI.Methods Retrospective survey was used to investigate the occurrence of HAI in hospitalized patients with severe CHB in a hospital between January 2012 and January 2015,risk factors for HAI were analyzed. Results A total of 126 patients with severe CHB were investigated,49 patients developed 106 times of HAI, incidence of HAI was 38.89%.The main HAI site was respiratory tract (n=47,44.34%),the next was abdominal cavity (n=34,32.08%).A total of 76 isolates of pathogens were detected,gram-negative bacteria,gram-positive bacteria,and fungi accounted for 53.95%(n =41 ),43.42%(n =33),and 2.63%(n =2)respectively.Risk factors for HAI in patients with severe CHB were patients ’ age ≥ 60 years, length of hospital stay ≥ 30 days, complications,invasive operation,serum albumin < 35 g/L,and white blood cell count (WBC)< 4 × 109/L. Conclusion Incidence of HAI in patients with severe CHB is high,the majority are respiratory tract and abdominal cavity infection,risk factors are old age,long length of hospital stay,invasive operation,hypoalbuminemia,and low WBC count.

To investigate the influence of the difference enhancers on the transport mechanism of chlorogenic acid (CGA) across Caco-2 cells model, a RP-HPLC method was adopted to detect the concentrations of CGA. At the concentrations of 20 to 80 microg x mL(-1), the difference of absorption rate constants (K(a)) was not statistically significant. At the concentrations of 40 and 20 microg x mL(-1), the ratios of apparent permeability coefficients (P(app)) of the apical to basolateral and the basolateral to apical were 1.14 and 1.18, respectively. With the effect of enhancers K(a) and P(app) increased, the absorption half-life (T1/2) decreased. CGA passed through the Caco-2 cell membrane mainly by passive transport. It showed that monocarboxylic acid transporter (MCT) could be involved in the across membrane transport process of CGA. Borneol had no effect on the cell membrane transport processes. The order of increasing absorption of CGA caused by the enhancers was sodium lauryl sulphate > sodium taurocholate > carbomer.

The purpose was to compare the difference between transgene expressions driven by homologous duplicated carbonic anhydrase (DCA) promoter and foreign CaMV35S promoter in the unicellular green alga, Dunaliella salina(D.salina).The CaMV35S promoter-bar construct and DCA promoter-bar construct into D.salina by a Backon 2000 electroporation system were introduced. After the repeated selections with the phosphinothricin (PPT) of 3mg/L, 3 PPT-resistant phenotype transformants were isolated from the CaMV-bar and DCA-bar pools of transformants of D. salina, respectively. The results of PCR and sequencing showed that bar genes were stably integrated into the genome of D.salina, and Southern bolts showed the number of transgene copy had no significant difference between both promoters. Semi-quantitive RT-PCR indicated that the mRNA levels of bar gene were higher in DCA-bar transformants than the CaMV-bar transformants, and could be increased under the induction of high salt in DCA-bar transformants but not in the CaMV-bar transformants. Analysis of growth rate of transformants showed DCA-bar transformants achieved the log stage faster than the CaMV-bar transformants. It is concluded that the homologous promoters have more advantages than the foreign promoters in the transgenic D.salina.

Objective To study the anti-tumor effect of anti-HER-2 engineering antibodies chA21 and Herceptin on nude mice xenografts of human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells and explore its mechanism.Methods An animal model with human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells involved in nude mice was established and the mice were randomized into 3 groups: normal saline(NS),chA21 and Herceptin.The mice were respectively administrated with Herceptin(30mg/kg) and chA21(30mg/kg) via caudal vein injection twice a week for consecutive 6 weeks,and then were killed after 44 days adminstration of the drugs.The volumes of the xenografts were measured twice a week.The tumor weight and inhibition ratio were measured after mice were killed.Ki67 and NF?B expression in the three groups was quantificationally analyzed by immunohistochemistry on tissue microarray sections combined with a micro-image analysing system.Results The growth of xenografts of human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells in nude mice was significantly inhibited by either Herceptin or chA21. Both Ki-67 labeling indices and NF?B levels in chA21 and Herceptin groups were lower than those in the control(P

To explore the clinic characters,treatments and prognosis of patients with primary bone lym-phoma( PLB ) .The clinical symptoms, signs, X -ray features, pathological morphology, immunophenotype and treatment of 7 patients with PLB were analyzed retrospectively and the pertinent literatures were reviewed.The re-sults showed that the main complains of 7 cases of PBL were local pain.The CT showed osteolytic bone destruc-tion and soft tissue swelling.There were 3 cases of diffuse large B cell lymphoma,1 case of Burkitt-type lympho-ma,1 case of periferal T-cell lymphoma,1 case of anaplastic large cell lymphoma,and 1 case of Hodgkins lym-phoma.2 patients presented with stageⅠ,4 with stageⅡ,and 1 with stage 3.The therapeutic procedure includes local radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy and targeted therapy.The clinical presentation of PLB is not spe-cial.The diagnosis and identification of histological type of PLB should be established by histopathological and im-munohistochemistry examinations.Early diagnosis and active therapy could improve the prognosis of PLB.Combi-nation therapy including radiotherapy and chemotherapy is the optimal treatment for PLB.

Objective To evaluate the the effect of microalbuminuria of combined treatment with fosinopril and losartan,or fosinopril,losartan monotherapy in patients with hypertension.Methods In this double-blind, intention to treat study,136 patients with hypertension were randomly assigned to receive fosinopril 10 mg/d(n= 50),losartan 50 mg/d(n=41),or a combination of fosinopril 5 mg and losartan 25 mg (n=45) qd for 4 weeks, followed by titrating to the maximum recommended doses for another 4 weeks.The primary endpoint was the difference of mean sitting blood pressure and microalbuminuria excretion at baseline and week 8.Results At week 8,the combination of fosinopril and losartan therapy lowered mean mieroalbuminuria from baseline by 26.1?10~(-8) mol/L,significantly more than either monotherapy approaches (fosinopril 20 mg,18.3?10~(-8)mol/L,P

Aim To explore the effects of anti-HER-2 chimeric antibody chA 21 on proliferation and apoptosis of SKBR3 cells.Methods MTT colorometric assay,HE staining,transmission electron microscopy,flow cytometry,and TUNEL were used to study the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction of SKBR3 cells by chA 21 in vitro.Results Proliferative inhibition rates and apoptotic index of SKBR3 cells were increased in a dose and time dependent manner after exposure to chA21(0.2～5.4 mg?L~(-1)).Conclusion chA 21 could remarkably inhibit proliferation of SKBR3 cells in vitro and apoptosis induction may be one of its main mechanisms.

Calcium hydroxide (CH) is applied to improve disinfection of root canals in most root canal retreatment. This study aimed to analyze the CH removal efficacy using 7 different root preparing files (K file, pre-curved K file, EndoActivator, Ultrasonic file, pre-curved ultrasonic file, F file and needle irrigation alone) with apical transportation. Standardized models of curved canal with such apical transportation or not were set up before applying CH to root canal for 7 days. Seven techniques described above were used for its removal. Then the roots were disassembled and digital photos were taken. The ratio of residual CH in the overall canal surface was calculated using the image analyzer image pro plus 6.0. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA with post hoc Tukey test. Results revealed that CH was effectively removed (P<0.05) by using all 6 mechanical methods except irrigation alone. In curved root canals with apical transportation, EndoActivator, pre-curved ultrasonic file and F file were found to be more effective in removing CH than the other four file (P<0.001), while there was no significant difference among EndoActivator, pre-curved ultrasonic file and F file groups (P>0.05). The percentage of residual CH in the canal with apical transportation was higher than that in the canal without apical transportation (P<0.05). In conclusion, CH can be hardly removed completely. Canal with apical transportation will result in insufficient CH removal. EndoActivator, pre-curved ultrasonic file and F file are more effective in the curved root canal with apical transportation.
