Herald of Medicine 2001;(5):320-321
Objective: To provide information for strenthening the management of antibacterials through an investigation of the clinical use of antibacterials in the Department of Pediatrics in the people's hospital of Haiyan. Methods: A retrospective review of the medical records of all the inpatients discharged from the Department of Pediatrics of the hospital during the period of January 1999 to December1999 was carried out regarding the application of antibacterials for them. Results: Antibacterials were used in 95.76% of the patients, with a period averaged 3.8 days. The most frequently used three antibacterials were cephalosprin, aminoglycoside and macrolides. The rate of unreasonable use of antibacterials was 34.55%. Antibacterials selected on basis of susceptibility tests was 20.61%. The main administration route was intravenous drip. Conclusion: In order to prevent drug resistance of the bacteria and decrease adverse effects of antibacterials, it was very important to strenthen management of reasonable use of antibacterials and application of susceptibility tests and raise the awareness of the side effects of antibacterials on children.

Objective To observe the effects of arsenic trioxide(As2O3)on the expressions of TNF-?,Fas and bcl-2 in lung adenocarcinoma cells(LAC)and to explore the mechanism of arsenic trioxide inducing apoptosis.Methods The expressions of TNF-?,Fas and bcl-2 in lung adenocarcinoma cells pretreated by arsenious acid were determined by the double antibody sandwich ABC-ELISA method.Results Compared with the control group,As2O3 showed no effects on the contents of bcl-2 in lung adenocarcinoma cells after 72 hours treatment,but increased the contents of TNF-? and Fas significantly,and the effects in different concentration groups had significant differences.The protein expressions of TNF-? and Fas showed a tendency of concentration-dependent increasing.Conclusions The results suggest that As2O3 induces the apoptosis of LAC cells possibly by up-regulating the expression of TNF-? and Fas.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of transcatheter radiofrequency ablation guided by a three-dimensional mapping system (Ensite or Carto) for the treatment of complex cardiac arrhythmias. Methods A cohort of 123 consecutive hospitalized inpatients during the period from February 2006 to December 2008 were selected for this study. These patients suffered from various arrhythmias, including paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (n=58). Persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation (n=10), atrial flutter (n=13), atrial tachycardia (n=12) and ventricular tachycardia or frequent ventricular premature beats (n=30). Transcatheter radiofrequency ablation for arrhythmias was performed under the guidance of an EnSite3 000/NavX or Array mapping system in 80 cases, and under the guidance of a CARTO mapping system in the remaining 43 cases. Results Successful ablation of arrhythmias was obtained by single operation in 106 cases(86.18%). Including 59 cases with atrial fibriUation,11 cases with atrial flutter, 10 cases with atrial tachycardia, and 26 cases with ventricular tachycardia or premature ventricular beat. Ablation procedure was carried out and was successful in 10 cases with a successful rate of 94.31%, including 5 cases with atrial fibrillation. 1 case with recurred atrial flutter, 1 case with recurrent atrial tachycardia, and 3 cases with ventricular tachycardia or premature ventricular beat. After operation, complications occurred in 6 cases, including cardiac tamponade in 4 cases, distal embolism of the left anterior descending coronary artery in 1 case, and pulmonary embolism in 1 case. Conclusion Three-dimensional mapping system can clearly and stereoscopically display the cardiac structures. Therefore, this technique is of great value in guiding the transcatheter radiofrequency ablation for complex arrhythmias, in improving the success rate of ablation and in increasing the safety of the procedure.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of modified percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (PLAAO) under transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) guidance without general anesthesia instead of transesophageal echocardiographic guidance.Methods A total of 14 patients who met the inclusion criteria underwent modified PLAAO guided by TTE instead of TEE without general anesthesia.Regular clinical follow-up observations of PLAAO-related major adverse events were done in the perioperative period.Results All patients were successfully implanted with left atrial appendage occluder device (Watchman) without device-related serious complications.Immediately occlusion success rate was 100%.No major adverse events occurred during hospitalization and follow-up.The mean operation time was 108 ± 22 min(range 75-150 min)and the mean radiation exposure time was 15.8 ± 7.6 min(range 8-32 min).Conclusion Modified PLAAO guided by TTE instead of TEE without general anesthesia may be safe and effective.This method simplifies the operation process and is favorable for PLAAO application.But this modified PLAAO is still needed to be validated in more patients.

A new head and neck location frame for positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) cross-modality medical image fusion in radiotherapy was developed. The solid mark bars of N form in the old designed CT location frame were replaced by closed hollow pipes which could be filled with different developer solutions before CT or PET scan, respectively. Nine points of external marker used for registration and fusion were obtained in CT images and PET images, respectively. The locations of the two sets of nine points showed the method of registration to be effective and accurate in achieving the PET and CT image fusion. This method, based on its characteristics of simple structure and easy-to-use, can be of wide application in clinical setting.

Objective To analyze the clinical features and prognosis of CD34-positive and CD34-negative adult patients with acute T-lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL),and to explore the value of CD34 expression for prognosis of patients with T-ALL.Methods 75 adult patients diagnosed with T-ALL from January 2012 to July 2015 in the Department of Hematology,the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University,were analyzed retrospectively.According to the expression of CD34,the patients were divided into CD34-positive group and CD34-negative group,and then the clinical characteristics and prognosis of both groups were analyzed.Results In 75 patients,CD34-positive group had 24 (32.0 %) patients and CD34-negative group had 51 (68.0 %) patients.Between the two groups,there was no significant difference in these factors,such as sex,age,infiltration of liver,spleen and lymph nodes,thrombocytopenia,high white blood cell count,abnormal karyotype,complete remission within 4 weeks and central nervous system leukemia (CNSL).The proportions of patients with hemoglobin (Hb) < 90 g/L and expression of myeloid lineage marker were higher in the CD34-positive group than those in the CD34-negative group (x2 =5.888,P=0.015;x2 =10.758,P =0.001,respectively).There were only 18 patients treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT),57 patients were not.In patients without HSCT,the median survival time in the CD34-positive group and CD34-negative group was significant different (5 months vs.32 months,x2 =9.172,P =0.002).Conclusions CD34 expression in adult patients with T-ALL appears to be associated with Hb < 90 g/L and the expression of myeloid lineage markers.For the patients without HSCT,CD34 is likely negatively related with the prognosis.
