Objective To provide evidence for clinical practice by analyzing the factors associated with bloodstream infection in ICU patients through retrospective case-control study. Methods Using self-made data collection form, 133 cases of blood sample record from HIS system during May 2013 to December 2015 at Peking Union Medical College Hospital ICU ward were collected. In this study, 54 patients with positive blood culture results were allocated to the case group while 79 patients with negative results were in the control group. Baseline characteristics, which included sex, age and chronic diseases, were almost the same between both groups. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors related to blood infection. Results During May 2013 to December 2015, there were 54 blood infectious cases, among which 19 cases with positive gram bacteria accounted for 35.2%(19/54), 57.4%(31/54) of gram-negative bacilli and 7.4%(4/54) of fungal infection. Logistic regression analysis revealed that blood filtration treatment (OR=7.691), pulmonary infection (OR=7.682), ICU (OR=1.115), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHEⅡ) scores(OR=1.096), procalcitonin (OR=1.065) were risk factors of bloodstream infection for ICU patients, while albumin (OR=0.763) was a protective factor. Conclusions Blood filtration treatment, pulmonary infection, hospital length of stay, APACHEⅡand procalcitonin are factors associated with bloodstream infection in ICU patients. Clinical procedures in ICU should mainly focus on improvement of prevention awareness, strict aseptic technology, professional quality of nursing staff. Besides, guarantee of patients′nutrition, effective treatment of primary diseases, and shortened hospital length of stay are also important to reduce the infection and improve quality of life of these patients.

Objective Medication for pituitary adenomas is mainly targeted on the prolactin-secreting and growth-hormone types and shows poor therapeutic effects on other adenomas .Therefore, new drugs urgently need to be developed for this purpose .This study was to investigate the effects of glivec and everolimus on mouse pituitary AtT-20 cells and their molecular mechanisms in vitro. Methods Mouse pituitary AtT-20 cells were incubated with glivec or everolimus or combination of both and their inhibitory effect on the proliferation of the cells was measured by CCK-8 assay.The mRNA levels of AKT and ERK were determined by q-PCR and the ex-pressions of the phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT) and ERK (p-ERK) were detected by Western blot. Results Used alone, both glivec and everolimus inhibited the proliferation of the AtT-20 cells in a time-and dose-dependent manner , but their combination produced a mutually antagonistic effect, with combination index values of 1.13 ±0.06, 1.12 ±0.03, and 1.07 ±0.03 respectively.The two a-gents , either used alone or in combination , induced no significantly inhibitory effects on the mRNA and protein expressions of AKT and ERK ( P >0.05 ).Both glivec and everolimus up-regulated the expressions of p-AKT and p-ERK, and their combination manifested an even stronger effect (P>0.05). Conclusion Both glivec and everolimus inhibit the proliferation of AtT-20 cells when administered alone, but their combination produces an antagonistic effect .Their action mechanism might be that when targeting some signaling path-ways to inhibit cell proliferation , glivec, as well as everolimus , in-duces a feedback activation of AKT and ERK .

BACKGROUND: Scoparone,which is a major principle separated from traditional Chinese herbs artemisia scoparia, which possesses actions of immunosuppression, anti-inflammation and relaxing bronchial smooth muscle. It' s not known whether scoparone possesses the regulation of the imbalance of interferon-gamma(IFN-γ) and interleukin-4(IL-4) in asthmatic guinea pig.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the inhibition and immunoregulation of scoparone on asthmatic guinea pig.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study based on the experimental animals.SETTING: Department of ethnopharmaeology in a university.MATERIALS: The experiment was completed in the Department of Ethnopharmacology,China Medical University between July 2000 and March 2002. Totally 84 male guinea pigs were selected at sanitation grade,weighting about(200 ± 50) g.INTERVENTIONS: The ameliorative effects of scoparone on the imbalance of IFN-γ and IL-4 in asthmatic guinea pigs were investigated by using the acute and delayed asthmatic guinea pigs which were respectively challenged by the aerosol mixture of 10 g/L histamine and 1 g/L acetylcholine,and 10 mL/L ovalbumin.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The asthmatic latent periods in acute and delayed asthma, and the levels of IgE, IL-4 and IFN-γ in serum and pulmonary tissue homogenate in the asthmatic animals.RESULTS: Scoparone significantly prolonged the asthmatic latent periods in acute and delayed asthma,observably reduced the levels of IgE and IL-4 and raised the content of IFN-γin serum and pulmonary tissue homogenate in the asthmatic animals (P<0. 05).CONCLUTION: The anti-asthmatic effects of scoparone result from the ameliorative effects on the imbalance of IFN-γ/IL-4 ratio thereby to inhibit the abnormal synthesis of IgE.

Objective The poor sleep quality of epileptic patients may be partly due to the occurrence epileptiform discharges (EDs).We observed the number of interictal discharges in each sleep stage and explored the associations between EDs and sleep phases in epilepsy patients.Methods Two hundred and forty epileptic patients and 213 healthy volunteers were enrolled in the current study.For all subjects,video-electroencephalogram monitoring and 24 h-night polysomnography were conducted to detect EDs and analyze the sleep structures.Results EDs were detected in 88.7％ (213/240) of epilepsy patients with the most frequent cases from the temporal lobe.The EDs detected during waking,sleeping,or both waking and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep stage accounted for 20.6％ (44/213),40.4％ (86/213),and 38.9％ (83/213) of the total patients,respectively.The total sleep time and time spent in REM were similar between the epileptic patients and healthy volunteers.However,epileptic patients spent a significantly longer mean sleep time in NREM Ⅰ-Ⅱ ((304 ±39) min versus (225 ±29) min,t =3.51,P =0.000) and less in NREM Ⅲ-Ⅳ ((49 ± 7) min versus (133 ± 17) min,t =2.30,P =0.000) than healthy volunteers.Furthermore,asymmetric sleep spindles and fragmentary sleep structure as well as high inversion frequency were found in epilepsy patients,respectively.Conclusion Combination of long-term video electroencephalogram with polysomnography is a useful method to analyze associations between EDs and the sleep-wake cycle.This strategy can also help identify the nature of sleep disorders in epileptic patients,which may improve the treatment efficacy.

Background and purpose:Nowadays, about therapy of laryngeal carcinoma, people are paying more and more widely attention to ifnding out how to improve quality of patients’ life besides radical surgery. For glottic laryngeal carcinoma which invading anterior commissure or bilateral vocal cord, we performed modiifed frontolateral partial laryngectomy or modiifed cricohyoidoepiglottopexy, and contrastive analyzed the therapeutic efifcacy of the two ways. Methods:Sixty cases patients of glottic laryngeal carcinoma who treated in Hunan Provincial Tumor Hospital during 2005 to 2010, which invaded the anterior commissure or bilateral vocal cord, were randomly attributed to two groups as A and B;30 patients of group A were underwent modiifed frontolateral partial laryngectomy and repaired with bilateral sternohyoid muscle lfap, 30 patients of group B were treated by modiifed cricohyoidoepiglottopexy. Follow-up time of each patient was 5 years postoperation and clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Results:The 5-year survival rate was 86.7%in group A as well as 83.3%in group B, and there was no statistical difference between two groups (P=0.718). Pronunciation function:22 cases in group A and 21 cases in group B whose pronunciation function can be competent in the noisy environment, and can pronounce“a”and“i”vowel;8 cases in group A and 9 cases in group B can pronounce only a“ha”,“hi”sound, that couldn’t communicate with others in a noisy environment. There was no statistical difference in pronunciation function between the two groups (P=0.774). Incidence of deglutition disorder 4 weeks postoperation:group A was 0 (0/30), group B was 16.7%(5/30), and the difference between the two groups was statistically signiifcant (P=0.026);average time of extubation postoperation:group A was (10±2.3) d, group B was (20±4.6)d, and the difference between the two groups was statistically signiifcant (P=0.0000);recurrence rate of dyspnea after extubation:group A was 16.7%(5/30), group B was 0 (0/30), and there was statistically signiifcant difference between the two groups (P=0.026). Conclusion: For the glottic laryngeal carcinoma which invading anterior commissure or bilateral vocal cord, there was no statistical difference in 5-years survival rate and function of pronunciation between modified frontolateral partial laryngenctomy and modified cricohyoidoepiglottopexy postoperation. The former had less postoperative deglution disorder, earlier extubation time, and to some extent, alleviated the suffering of the patients, but part of these patients needed secondary surgery due to dyspnea which resulted by radioactive tissue adhesion after extubation. The latter had more serious deglution disorder postoperation, longer recovery time, and relatively longer time to extubating, showed no again dyspnea after extubation, and had more extensive adaptation disease. In a word, each way of operation has its advantage respectively.
