Objective To investigate the impacts of Xuebijing injection on systemic inflammatory response and immune function of patients with acute exacerbation of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted. Forty patients with severe AECOPD were divided into control group and Xuebijing group in accordance with the random number table, each group 20 cases. Both groups were treated by routine conventional basic therapy of severe AECOPD including anti-infection, phlegm-expelling formula, bronchodilators and mechanical ventilation, etc, while in Xuebijing group, intravenous drip of Xuebijing (100 mg, twice a day for 5 days) was additionally used. The changes of data of arterial blood gas analysis, blood routine examination, C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), immune function, and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation system Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score before and after therapy were observed and compared between the two groups. The length of stay in hospital, duration of mechanical ventilation, and prognosis were also compared between the two groups. Besides, according to the difference in APACHE Ⅱ score, all the patients were divided into APACHEⅡscore≥15 score group (18 cases) and APACHEⅡscore<15 score group (22 cases), and the immune function were compared between the two groups. Results ①The immune function was descended and disordered in patients with severe AECOPD. Compared with the < 15 score group, the expressions of CD45+, CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ ratio, B-lymphocyte, natural killer cell (NK cell) in ≥ 15 score group were significantly lowered [CD45+(×106/L):663.92±100.61 vs. 1 289.92±169.38, CD3+(×106/L):342.05±108.93 vs. 882.37±172.56, CD4+(×106/L):205.96±63.97 vs. 486.24±108.64, CD4+/CD8+ratio:0.76±0.49 vs. 1.32±0.57, B-lymphocyte (×106/L):124.77±32.72 vs. 166.06±48.02, NK cells (×106/L): 186.47±39.57 vs. 243.51±44.72, all P < 0.05]. There was no statistically significant difference in the expression of CD8+ between the ≥ 15 score group and < 15 score group (P > 0.05). ② Compared with those before therapy, the pH value, oxygenation index, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), white blood cell count (WBC), CRP, PCT were significantly improved after therapy in both control and Xuebijing groups. Compared with those in the control group, WBC, CRP, PCT were significantly lowered in Xuebijing group [WBC (×109/L): 10.29±3.83 vs. 12.69±3.42, CRP (mg/L): 9.06±4.19 vs. 15.26±4.22, PCT (ng/L): 0.18±0.21 vs. 0.42±0.24, all P < 0.05]. There were no statistically significant differences in pH value, oxygenation index and PaCO2 between two groups (all P>0.05). The degrees of improvement of CD45+, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and CD4+/CD8+ ratio were more remarkable in Xuebijing group after treatment than those in control group [CD45+ (×106/L): 1 079.38±153.86 vs. 1 015.63±157.11, CD3+ (×106/L): 652.05±100.05 vs. 596.81±106.85, CD4+ (×106/L): 358.92±67.53 vs. 329.99±72.61, CD8+ (×106/L): 205.73±35.19 vs. 230.41±39.74, CD4+/CD8+ratio: 2.16±0.63 vs. 1.52±0.54, all P < 0.05]. The B-lymphocyte and NK cell before treatment and after treatment showed no statistical significant differences between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Compared with the control group, the duration of mechanical ventilation (hours: 56.25±22.87 vs. 69.45±26.59) and the length of stay in hospital (days: 11.00±0.74 vs. 14.00±2.06) were shortened, and APACHE Ⅱ score was significantly lowered in Xuebijing group (8.21±2.97 vs. 12.08±3.12, P < 0.05). The numbers of multiple organ failure and dead patients in Xuebijing group were less than those of control group, but no statistical significant differences were found (both P > 0.05). Conclusion Xuebijing injection for treatment of patients with severe AECOPD can ameliorate inflammatory response, improve immune function, shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation and the length of stay in hospital, and decrease the risk of death.

Objective To understand the clinical distribution and drug resistance situation of112 strains of Acinetobacter Bau-mannii isolated from the patients′sputum samples in cerebral surgery ICU in order to provide the basis for the rational use of anti-bacterial drugs in clinical therapy.Methods 112 strains of Acinetobacter Baumannii were performed the retrospective analysis.The VITEK2-Compact automatic microbiological analyzer was adopted to conduct the bacterial identification and the drug susceptibility test and the K-B method was combined as the supplement control.The Whonet 5.6 software was used for conducting the statistical analysis.Results Among 112 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii,75 strains(67.0%)were multi-drug resistant,8 strains(7.1%) were pan-resistant.The antimicrobial susceptibility tests showed that the resistant rates of Acinetobacter baumannii to mezlocillin, piperacillin and nitrofurantoin reached up to 100%.Acinetobacter Baumannii had the lower resistant rate to polymyxin B (2.7%), the resistant rates to minomycin and ceperazone/sulbactam were 4.5% and 10.7% respectively.Conclusion The drug resistance phenomena of Acinetobacter Baumannii in the cerebral surgery department ICU is serious.Minomycin,polymyxin B and ceperazone/sulbactam have the better antibacterial activities to clinically isolated Acinetobacter Baumannii and may be the alternative drugs for therapy.Clinic should strengthen the monitoring and rationally use the antibacterial drugs.

Objective To examine the moderating effects of cognitive emotion regulation strategies on neuroticism and depression in college students.Methods Correlation and Hierarchical Regression Analysis were used to analyze the surveyed data collected from 824 college students.Results Among all the cognitive emotion regulation strategies,college students used the rational analysis most frequently (14.1 ± 2.57) and used the catastrophizing least frequently(7.74±2.76).After controlling the effects of depressive symptoms at T1,the standard regression coefficients of neuroticism to depression were significant (β=0.137,P＜0.001).The standard regression coefficients of positive refocusing to depression (β=-0.073,P＜0.05) and the standard regression coefficients of rumination and catastrophizing to depression were all significant(β=0.137,P＜0.001 ; β=0.143,P＜0.01).The interaction between neuroticism and catastrophizing were significant (β=0.0535,P＜0.05),whereas the interaction between neuroticism and blaming others were significant(β=-0.620,P＜0.01).Conclusion Catastrophizing positively moderates the effects of neuroticism on depression,while blaming others negatively moderates the effects of neuroticism on depression.

Objective To investigate the iodine nutritional status of pregnant women during different pregnancy of Zhuhai area in 2013 .Methods Adoption iodine arsenic cerium catalytic reaction principle ,Hitachi 7600‐020 automatic biochemical analyzer was used to detect the concentration of urinary iodine .Results To detect the urine iodine of 2 214 cases of pregnant women whose con‐form the conditions ,iodine deficiency were found up to 1 421 cases ,accounting for 64 .19% ;Iodine qualifiers were found up to 767 cases ,accounting for 34 .64% ;Excess iodine people were found up to 26 cases ,accounting for 1 .17% .Conclusion The iodine defi‐ciency situation is more severe of pregnant women in Zhuhai area ,we should intensify propaganda it and it should be included in the routine monitoring of prevention .When a pregnant woman was abnormal urine iodine level in monitoring ,we should give the iodine nutrition health prescription guidance to them ,so as to continuously improve the qualification rate of pregnant women urine iodine level .

In the past decades, genetic lesions, aberrant epigenetic modifications, progenitor colonies formations and cell cycle distribution have been the focus of studies on the pathogenesis of primary myelofibrosis (PMF). The relative results showed that PMF is a clonal proliferative disease of hematopoietic stem cells. Now it is defined that primary myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET) are chronic myeloprolfferative neoplasmas(CMPN).

It's known that ICU patients is in critical condition and might deteriorate rapidly,so it's important for them to get appropriate nutritional support in order to recover.We must make proper nutrition treatment plan for patients according to their different nutritional condition and potential risk.Nutritional risk screening can not only assess the nutritional status of children,is more likely to predict its potential nutritional risk,to guide nutritional support treatment plan,and ultimately improve the prognosis.Looking out for comprehensive,simple,fast,and easy nutritional risk screening tools as soon as possible and appropriate nutrition risk screening is significantly for growth and development as well as prognosis of ICU patients.
