Objective To evaluate the miRNA change between hypothermia circulatory arrest at different temperature and its impact on intestinal protection.Methods Sixteen piglets were randomly(n =4) divided into four groups:deep hypothermia circulatory arrest (DHCA,18℃) group,moderate hypothermia circulatory arrest(MHCA,24℃) group,cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) group and sham operation(SO) group.They were subjected to 80 min hypothermia circulatory arrest,305 min CPB or thoracotomy,respectively.Pick-and-mix custom miRNA real-time PCR panels were utilized to detect intestinal samples.miRNA expression between DHCA and MHCA were compared directly(DHCA vs.MHCA) and indirectly(DHCA/SO vs.MHCA/SO,DHCA/CPB vs.MHCA/CPB).Results Exposure to DHCA caused less intestinal miRNA dysregulation than MHCA.Besides,seven miRNAs(miR-122,miR-145-5p,miR-421-5p,miR-99a,miR-365-5p,miR-31 and miR-192)were differentially expressed between the two hypothermia circulatory arrest groups.Conclusion Better intestinal miRNA protection was provided by DHCA than MHCA.Intestinal miRNA were differentially expressed between hypothermia circulatory arrest at different temperature.

Objective:
To investigate the distribution and resistance of pathogens isolated from blood cultures in patients with hematological malignancies after chemotherapy in Union Hospital of Fujian Medical University so as to understand the real situation of blood stream infection (BSI) and provide the basis for rational use of antibiotics in clinic.
Methods:
The data of 657 strains isolated from blood culture specimens of patients with hematological malignancies from January 2013 to December 2016 were collected analyzed.
Results:
A total of 657 cases of blood culture positive bacterial strains were included in the study, involving 410 cases (62.4%) with single Gram-negative bacteria (G- bacteria) , 163 cases (24.8%) with single Gram-positive bacteria (G+ bacteria) , 50 cases (7.6%) with single fungi. The most common 5 isolates in blood culture were
