Since the definition of sepsis has been first proposed in 1991, the main content of the definition has been developed by infection + systemic inflammatory response syndrome as infection + organ dysfunction,and organ dysfunction is indicated by an increase in sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA) score.These are components of Sepsis-3 which was published in 2016.In Sepsis-3,the SOFA score in the identification and diagnosis of sepsis plays an important role,but Sepsis-3 was mainly used in adults,how to adjust it to children,some questions and details were proposed in this article.

OBJECTIVE:to provide reference for the continuous improvement of surgical site infection (SSI). METHODS:There were totally 7 472 patients with typeⅠand typeⅡincision surgeries in a hospital after the targeted monitoring and special recti-fication(Jul. 2012 to Jun. 2013,monitoring group)and 5 958 patients with surgeries during the same period before special rectifi-cation(Jul. 2010 to Jun. 2011,control group). The clinic data of typeⅠand typeⅡincision surgical was compared,including infec-tion,the perioperative antibiotics use and hospitalization time after surgery,etc. RESULTS:The infection rate of typeⅠand typeⅡstandardized incision in monitoring group was respectively 0.35% and 0.43% and control group was respectively 0.60% and 1.36%(P<0.05). The rate of typeⅠincision perioperative antibiotics use in monitoring group was 10.72% and control group was 86.88%(P<0.05). The post-operative non-medication rate of patients was increased from the 6.98%(control group)to 49.20%(monitor-ing group)(P<0.05),the discontinuance rate within 48 h was increased from the 32.09%(control group)to 44.11%(monitoring group),and the ratio of patients who took antibiotics after the surgery for more than 3 d was decreased from the 42.82%(control group)to 3.05%(monitoring group)(P<0.05). The inguinal hernia repair time in monitoring group was 3.90 d,shorter than con-trol group(4.22 d)(P=0.018). The patient with gallbladder surgery in monitoring group was 6.47 d,compared with control group (6.38 d),there was no significant difference (P=0.619). CONCLUSIONS:The special rectification can obviously promote the standardized of perioperative antibiotics use,reduce the incidence of SSI and shorten the hospitalization time after operation.

Objective To investigate the effects of notoginseng and guiding medicinals mediated notoginseng for improving the renal inter stitial fibrosis in rats with chronic kidney-disease(CKD)by regulating TGF-β signaling pathway.Methods A total of 100 male SD rats were randomly divided into five groups:normal group(NOR,n =20),model group(CKD,n =20),radix notogin-seng group(RN,n =20),radix notoginseng plus platycodi group (RNP) and radix notoginseng plus cinnamon group (RNC,n =20).Except for the NOR group,the CKD rat model in other groups was established by adenine gavage.After modeling,the NOR group and CKD group were given the same volume of normal saline by gavage,while the group RN,RNP and RNC were given corresponding drugs by gavage,for 4 weeks.After 4 weeks,the rats in each group were sacrificed for collecting serum and detecting the renal function(serum Scr,BUN),the renal tissues were taken for conducting HE and Masson staining.Then the renal tissue pathological damage severity was observed.The expressions of FN and LN in kidney tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry and the expressions of TGF-[β,α-SMA were detected by Western blot method.Results Compared with the NOR group,the model group exhibited the renal dysfunction(P<0.01),renal interstitial severe fibrosis manifestation and increased collagen deposition(P<0.05),and the expression of kidney tissues α-SMA(P<0.01),TGF-β(P<0.01),FN and LN were significantly increased.Compared with the model group,the renal function in various treatment groups was improved,Scr(P<0.01)and BUN(P<0.01)were significantly decreased,the renal interstitial fibrosis degree was reduced,collagen desposition was decreased(P<0.05),renal tissue α-SMA(P< 0.05),TGF-β(P<0.05),FN and LN expression were reduced to some extent,in which the effect of RNC group was stronger than that of the RN group and RNP group.Conclusion Notoginseng and guiding medicinals mediated notoginseng can retard the progression of renal interstitial fibrosis caused by adenine in CKD rat in varying degrees,its mechanism maybe reduce the expression of TGF-β protein.
