Objective To study the association of the serum soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1(SICAM-1) and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(SVCAM-1) with metabolic syndrome(MS) and its components. Methods The MS was defined by criteria of the international diabetes federation. The levels of SICAM-1 ,SVCAM-1,plasma glucose,insulin,lipids,uric acid, glycosylated haemoglobin A(1C), and blood viscosity were measured. Results The concentrations of SICAM-1 and SVCAM-1 were significantly higher in subjects with MS and its components than in those without them. The concentrations of SICAM-1 and SVCAM-1 were correlated positively with disorder number of BMI, WHR, SBP, DBP,FPG, 2 hour plasma glucose, triglyceride, uric acid, HbA1c, blood viscosity and HOMA-IR,and negatively with high density lipoprotein cholesterol. Conclusions The concentrations of SICAM-1 and SVCAM-1 rise with the increase of the number of MS components. Endothelial dysfunction might participate in the occurrence and development of MS.

Purpose To analyze clinicopathologic and prognostic features in 9 cases of children endocapillary proliferative glomerulone-phritis with hepatitis B virus antigen deposition ( HBV-ECPGN) . Methods Retrospective analysis of demographic information, clini-cal manifestations, laboratory parameters, pathological and prognostic features was carried out for 9 cases of HBV-ECPGN and 13 cases of acute poststreptococcal infection endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis ( APS-ECPGN) for comparison. Renal biopsy tissue were fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin, stained with HE, PAS and PAM-Masson. Immunohistochemical study with EliVision method was performed. Three cases were submitted for electron microscopy. Results There were 7 males and 2 females ( M ∶ F=7 ∶ 2) of HBV-ECPGN. The median age was 10. 3 years. Serum C4 deposition ratio HBV-ECPGN was significantly greater than APS-ECPGN group (P<0. 05). There was an average of 11. 2 weeks of HBV-ECPGN kidney disease duration, which was significantly lon-ger than an average of 3. 8 weeks of APS-ECPGN group (P<0. 05). There was no disease relapse in all cases during 53. 55 months follow-up. C4d deposit was significantly stronger in all HBV-ECPGN cases compared with control group (APS-ECPGN cases). There were no significant differences in deposit of IgG, IgM, IgA, C3d and C1q between the two groups. HBsAg deposit in juxtaglomerular sites was identified in all cases. Conclusions Serum C4 decrease is more common in HBV-ECPGN than APS-ECPGN. Which may be associated with HBV infection, there is longer disease duration of HBV-ECPGN. C4d deposit is significantly stronger than control group, suggesting pathogenesis of HBV-ECPGN and APS-ECPGN is different. HBsAg deposit may be closely related to the pathogene-sis of HBV-ECPGN. HBsAg deposit in juxtaglomerular sites may be characteristic of HBV-ECPGN.

Objective To realize the incidence of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in patients after receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO)procedure,and to evaluate the related factors for HAI.Methods Clinical data of patients receiving ECMO from January 2003 to December 2012 were collected and analyzed retro-spectively.Results Of 43 patients receiving ECMO,15 (34.88% )developed 24 times(55.81% )of HAI. The main HAI site was lower respiratory tract(n= 12,50.00% ),followed by blood stream(n= 6,25.00% ),skin and soft tis-sue(n= 5,20.83% ).A total of 28 isolates of pathogens were detected,gram-negative bacilli were 19(67.86% )iso-lates,gram-positive cocci 7(25.00% ),and fungi 2(7.14% );pathogens were mainly isolated from specimens of sputum(n= 12,42.86% ),blood (n= 9,32.14% )and wound secretion(n= 6,21 .43% ). The incidence of postopera-tive HAI in ECMO patients was related with patients’age,duration of ECMO,complication,mechanical ventila-tion,tracheal intubation or tracheotomy,and indwelling urinary catheter.Conclusion HAI in patients receiving EC-MO is high,hospital should take corresponding prevention and control measures targeting to the related risk factors of infection,so as to reduce the incidence of HAI after the ECMO.
