ObjectiveTo evaluate the impact of hyperglycemia in patients admitted to medical intensive care units(MICU)on their prognosis.MethodsMedical records of 1016 patients,including 126 cases of known diabetes,359 cases with newly diagnoses hyperglycemia,and 531 normoglycemic cases,admitted to MICU in Wuhan University People's Hospital during September 2006 to September 2007 were reviewed to compare their case-fatality,length of hospital stay,length of MICU stay,mechanical ventilation,blood transfusion and antibiotics use.ResultsIn.hospital case-fatality was 22.8%(82/359)in patients with newly-diagnosed hyperglycemia.significantly higher than that in patients with known diabetes of 12.7% (16/126)and in normoglyeemic cases of 5.1%(27/531)(P＜0.01),and that Was higher in those with diabetes than those with normal blood glucose level(P=0.002).Proportions of patients who needed mechanical ventilation,blood transfusion,antibiotics use was higher in newly diagnosed hyperglycemia group than those in the other two groups.ConclusionsHyperglycemia represents an important mal'ker of poor clinical outcomes and mortality in patients admitted tO MICU.Patients with newly diagnosed hyperglycemia had a significantly higher case-fatality and poorer outcomes than those with known diabetes or normoglyeemia.

Objective To evaluate the effect of comprehensive intervention measures on preventing and controlling surgical site infection (SSI)in patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy.Methods Patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy in a hospital between January 2011 and December 2014 were investigated retrospec-tively,patients in 2011 were as control group,from January 2012,a prospective monitoring on SSI was initiated, comprehensive intervention measures were taken,patients between January 2012 and December 2014 were as inter-vention group,SSI before and after the intervention was compared.Results A total of 1 052 patients undergoing to-tal abdominal hysterectomy were investigated,267 cases were monitored before intervention,25 patients (9.36%) developed healthcare-associated infection (HAI),12(4.49%)of whom were with SSI;785 cases were monitored af-ter intervention,13 (1 .66%)of whom were with SSI,incidence of SSI in 2012,2013,and 2014 were 2.31 %, 1 .89%,and 0.77% respectively,there was a decreasing tendency(χ2 =7.30,P <0.01 ).Conclusion Prospective monitoring on SSI and comprehensive intervention can reduce the incidence of SSI in patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy.

Aim To clarify the regulation role of ca-thepsin B ( Cat B ) in cell proliferation and apoptosis induced by SAHA in ER-positive breast cancer cell line MCF-7.Methods MTT was used to screen the optimal concentration and treatment time of SAHA . The expression levels of related proteins were deter-mined by ELISA , and the morphological changes were observed through time-lapse live cell imaging acquisi-tion.Cell viability and apoptosis assay in MCF-7 cells were assessed by Muse Cell Analyzer with SAHA and /or Cystatin C treatment .Results MTT assay showed that the anti-tumor efficacy of SAHA was significant . The optimal concentration and treatment time were 10μmol? L-1 and 24 h respectively . ELISA assay showed that SAHA could induce expression of Cat B in MCF-7 cells.Real-time live-cell imaging experiments demonstrated that the combination treatment of Cystatin C and SAHA significantly resumed the inhibitory effect caused by SAHA alone .Cytology test showed that SA-HA alone obviously depressed the cell viability and in-duced apoptosis . However , the effect was reversed with the combination of Cystatin C .Conclusion Cat B plays an important role in apoptosis induced by SAHA in ER +breast cancer cells MCF-7.

Objective To assess the effects of caffeine use in apnea of prematurity (AOP) in the early stage (caffeine was used within 3 days after birth) versus late stage (caffeine was used 4 to 10 days after birth ) . Methods Medline, Science Direct, Elsevier, Embase, CBMdisc and Wanfang databases were retrieved to incorporate studies that met the inclusion criteria. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the databases to November, 2015. References that were in line with the inclusion criteria were selected and relevant conference data were collected by manual retrieval. Two researchers conducted meta-analysis using software RevMan 5. 2 after independent data selection, information extraction and quality evaluation according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results One randomized controlled trial and four retrospective cohort studies were included. A total of 59 288 patients were involved. Meta-analysis suggested that, compared with caffeine use in the late stage, the early stage group showed significant lower incidence ( P < 0. 05 ) of mortality, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, intraventricular hemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia, retinopathy of prematurity and surgical intervention of patent ductus arteriosus. No significant difference (OR = 0. 98, 95% CI 0. 72 - 1. 33, P = 0. 881) was observed between the 2 groups in terms of the incidence of necrotic enterocolitis. Conclusions Patients with AOP should start caffeine treatment as early as possible, which significantly decreases mortality rate and the occurrence of other complications with little adverse reactions and good clinical tolerance.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy between reformed laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy with sutureless of cardinal and uterosacral ligament(LAVH)and trans abdominal hysterectomy(TAH)for large uterus.Methods A retrospective study was performed using 106 reformed LAVH patients(observation group)and 100 TAH patients(control group)whose uterus were big(≥ 12weeks of gestation),the information was observed in perioperative period.Results Anal exsufflation time,hospitalization time after operation and postoperative pain time in observation group[(25.4 ± 3.3)h,(6.5 ±1.5)d,(16.9 ± 2.4)h]were significantly shorter than those in control group[(42.4 ± 5.3)h,(8.5 ± 1.5)d,(30.6 ± 5.3)h](P ＜ 0.05),the rate of complication in observation group[5.7％(6/106)]waa lower than that in control group[10.0％(10/100)](P＜ 0.05).Conclusion As to large uterus,reformed LAVH has several advantages over TAH,the technique is easy to learn,operation time is short,and the rate of complication is low.

To investigate the relationship of the expressions of matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP) with metastasis and prognosis in colorectal cancer. Using S P immunohistochemistry method to detect the expressions of MMPs and TIMP in 41 cases of colorectal cancer. The expression levels were analyzed quantitatively by computer image analysis system. The results showed that the expression of MMP 2,MMp 9 and TIMP 1 was higher than those in normal epithelial mucosa. In the cases with metastasis to lymph node, the expressions of MMP 2 and MMP 9 TIMP 1 were significantly higher than that of cases without metastasis.The high expressions of the three factors are closely correlated with the progression and poor prognosis of colorectal cancer. It suggested that expressions of MMPs and TIMP are closely related with metastasis and prognosis in colorectal cancer.
