OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of strains producing extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) isolated from clinic samples and offer scientific basis for reasonable usage of antibioticsMETHODS ESBLs-producing strains isolated from Escherichia coli were identified by phenotypic comfirmatory test,drug resistance was analyzed by K-B method. RESULTS The positive rate of isolated ESBLs-producing E. coli strains was respectively 18.0%,20.3% and 28.4% in three years; that of ESBLs-producing strains isolated from urinary system was respectively 25.6%,29.0% and 39.0% in three years. The susceptibility to AMK and CFS was 70.4% and 85.2%,respectively in 2006. CONCLUSIONS The positive rate of ESBLs-producing strains and their resistance have been increasing in the near three years. so our clinic should pay attention to reasonable usage of antibiotic. AMK and CFS show significant antimicrobial activity for ESBLs-producing E. coli.

Objective To investigate the regulation effect of bispectral index (BIS) on the depth of total intravenous anesthesia (TI-VA) by comparing with regulating the depth of anesthesia according to the changes of hemodynamics. Methods 60 ASA Ⅰ～Ⅱ patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) were randomly assigned into controlled group (group C) and trial group (group T) ,with 30 patients in each group, according to the rules of regulating the titration of propofol during TIVA. The target of group C was to keep SBP/DBP 100 ～ 140mmHg/60 ～ 89mmHg and that of group T was to keep BIS 40 ～ 60 during anesthesia. The measure indexes included SBP/DBP, HR, BIS, total dosis of Propofol, time to extubate, time to leave operating room and OAA/S (observer's assessment of alert-ness/sedation). After operation, we evaluated whether awareness during surgery happens. Results As compared with group C, there were higher SBP/DBP and BIS in group T after induction of anesthesia, during aeroperitonia, immediately after finishing operation and just before extubating endotracheal catheter, but less dosis of propofol and less time of extubation and leaving operating room in group T. The differences had significance (P <0.01). There were no significant differences in the changes of HR between two groups (P >0.05) and no awareness during surgery happened in both groups. Conclusion TIVA regulated by BIS during LC can decrease the dosis of propofol, accelerate the recovery from anesthesia and avoid extremely deep anesthesia and awareness during surgery.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effect and its mechanism of carvedilol on leptin-induced activation and proliferation of LX2 human hepatic stellate cells(HSC-LX2). METHODS:HSC-LX2 with logarithmic growth periods were divided into blank con-trol group,leptin-stimulated group and carvedilol low-concentration,medium-concentration,high-concentration groups(5,10,20μmol/L). Except for the blank control group,other groups were added 0.1 g/L leptin and corresponding concentration of carvedilol. After 24 h,MTT method was used to detect the optical density(OD)value of cells and calculate the proliferation rate. Flow cytom-etry was used to detect the cell cycle and apoptosis. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction method was used to detect the α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA),matrix metalloproteinase inhibition factor 1 (TIMP-1),leptin,leptin receptor mRNA expressions. Western blot method was used to detect phosphorylated Janus kinase 2(p-JAK2),phosphorylated signal trans-duction and transcriptional activator 3 (p-STAT3) protein expressions. RESULTS:Compared with blank control group,OD value of cell was increased in leptin-stimulated group;apoptotic rate was decreased;cells of G0/G1 were decreased;α-SMA,TIMP-1, leptin,leptin receptor mRNA expressions and p-JAK2,p-STAT3 protein expressions were increased (P<0.05). Compared with leptin-stimulated group,OD values of cells were decreased in carvedilol concentration groups;apoptotic rate was increased,and the cells were mainly blocked in G0/G1 phase;α-SMA,TIMP-1,leptin,leptin receptor mRNA expressions and p-JAK2,p-STAT3 protein expressions were decreased(P<0.05)and was concentration-depended(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Carvedilol can inhibit the activation and proliferation of leptin-induced HSC-LX2,promote its apoptosis. The mechanism may associate with down-regulat-ing leptin,leptin receptor gene expression and blocking JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway activation by leptin in cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of different additional filtration thickness of DSA on image quality and radiation dose with cerebral angiography. Methods Prospective collected 90 patients with DSA examination of the whole cerebral artery, patients were divided into A, B and C group according to the time of the examination, each group included 30 cases. Patients underwent conventional DSA, the additional filtration of group A, B and C were (1.0 mmAl+0.1 mmCu), (1.0 mmAl+0.4 mmCu) and (1.0 mmAl+0.9 mmCu), respectively. Dose area product (DAP), air kerma (AK), tube current and tube voltage of anteroposterior and lateral radiography of the whole brain were recorded, and scored the image quality. Eye lens organ dose values were obtained by using simulation phantom and LiF dosemeter under A, B and C groups with three different additional filtrations for cerebral angiography. The image quality scores and the radiation dosewere analyzed by one-way ANOVA tests or Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results The image quality comprehensive score of three groups showed significant difference (F=40.07,P<0. 01), which were (3.8±0.4), (3.6 ± 0.5) and (3.0 ± 0.6), respectively. The DAP and AK value of anteroposterior and lateral radiography of three groups also showed significant difference (P<0.05), B and C group were lower than the A group. Left and right eye lens organ dose were decreased along with the increase of the additional filtration thickness, and the difference between the 3 groups also had significant difference (P<0.01). Conclusion Both the image quality and radiation dose can acquire when conducted the whole brain DSA with 1.0 mmAl+0.4 mmCu additional filtration.

Objective To investigate the influence of acupuncture on learning and memorial function and the expression of BDNF in prefrontal cortex of rats with sleep deprivation (SD), for providing theoretical evidence for treating sleep deprivation with acupuncture.Method Sixty Wistar rats were randomly divided into a control group, a model group, and an acupuncture group, 20 rats in each group. SD models were established by the modified multiple platform methods; the acupuncture group was intervened by acupuncture at Shenmen (HT 7); while the control group was left intact. Respectively after SD for 24 h and 72 h, the learning and memorial function was tested by using Morris water maze. Ten the rats were sacrificed to collect brain for detecting the expression of BDNF in prefrontal cortex via immunohistochemical method.Result The body weight, learning and memorial function, and the expression of BDNF in prefrontal cortex of the acupuncture group and model group were significantly different from those of the control group after SD for 24 h and 72 h (P<0.05). The learning and memorial function of the acupuncture group was significantly different from that of the model group after SD for 24 h and 72 h (P<0.05). The body weight and expression of BDNF in prefrontal cortex of the acupuncture group were significantly different from those of the model group after SD for 72 h (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture can obviously improve the decline of the function of learning and memory of the SD rats, and also up-regulate the declined expression of BDNF in prefrontal cortex caused by SD.

Objective To evaluate the performace of fixed field Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and RapidArc in the radiotherapy for multiple intracranial metastases.Methods The clinical data of 10 patients with multiple intracranial metastases,8 male and 2 female,aged 65-73,were used to design 3 plans:fixed field IMRT,RapidArc with single Arc (RA1),and RapidArc with double Arc (Arc 2).Dose-volume-histogram analysis was used to compare dose results,monitor unit,and delivery time.Results All 3 plans met the clinical requirements.The best target conformity and homogeneity were observed in the RA2 plan (Z = -2.803,- 2.904,P ＜ 0.05) and there were no statistical differences between the IMRT plan and RA1 plan.The maximum doses to the lens,eyes,and brainstem of the two RapidArc plans were all significantly lower than those of the IMRT plan(Z = -2.803--2.191 ,P ＜0.05),and the maximum dose to the optic nerves of the RA2 plan was significantly lower than that of the IMRT plan (Z = -2.293,-2.701 ,P ＜0.05).Compared with the IMRT plan,the average monitor units of the RA1 and RA2 plans were reduced by 29% and 24%,respectively,and the delivery time of these plans were significantly shorter by 84% and 69%,respectively.Conclusions Compared to the IMRT plan,RapidArc plans with single or double Arcs show similar or better effects in the target dose distribution,reduction of irradiation doses on organs at risk and,moreover,significant decrease of the monitor units and delivery time.

Objective To evaluate the dose distribution of target volume and normal tissues in forward intensity modulated radiotherapy (fIMRT) and inverse intensity modulated radiotherapy (iIMRT) modes for breast cancer after radical mastectomy.Methods Both fIMRT and iIMRT plans were developed for 10 patients with breast cancer after radical mastectomy.On each patient's CT images the supraclavicular area, chest wall, and internal mammary area were delineated.The prescription dose was 50 Gyin 25fractions.In the fIMRT plan X-ray irradiation at the dose of 6 MV was adopted for the supraclavicular and the chest wall areas and electron irradiation at the dose of 9 - 12 MeV was adopted for the internal mammary area, and the doses of cold and hot spots were adjusted according to the fitting doses of these 3 regions.In the iIMRT plan the supraclavicular area, chest wall, and internal mammary area were taken asa whole target, 6 MV X-rays was used, and inverse optimal design was performed.The dose distribution oftarget volume and normal tissues, conformal index (CI) , and heterogeneous index (HI) , and acceleratormonitor unit (MU) were analyzed using dose-volume histogram (DVH)for the two intensity modulated modes.Results The maximum dose of PTV of the iIMRT plan was significantly lower than that of the fIMRT plan(t = -3.23,P ＜0.05), the minimum dose and V95% of PTV of the iIMRT were significantly higher than those of the fIMRT plan(t = 4.08, -2.69, both P ＜0.05).The CI level of the iIMRT plan was significantly higher than that of the fIMRT plan and the HI level of the iIMRT plan was significantly lower than that of the fIMRT plan (t = -3.13, 2.74, both P ＜0.05).There were not significant differences in V10, V20, V25, V30, and Dmean of the ipsilateral lung between these 2 groups.However, the V15 of ipsilateral lung of the iIMRT group was significantly lower by 4.2% than that of the fIMRT group (t= 3.2, P ＜ 0.05).There were not significant differences in the mean dose (Dmean) and V30 of heart, and Dmean of contralateral lung and contralateral breast between these 2 groups.Conclusions Compared with fIMRT, the iIMRT plan results in more PTV coverage, higher conformity index, and more homogeneous dose distribution, with lower dose upon the lung at the affected side, and better protection of the contralateral lung, heart, and breast.

Objective To analyze the setup errors of external?beam and intracavitary radiotherapy for cervical cancer based on the data of cone?beam computed tomography ( CBCT) , and to provide a basis for clinical practice. Methods Sixty patients with stage ⅡA?ⅢB cervical cancer who were admitted to our hospital and underwent external?beam and intracavitary radiotherapy from March to June, 2015 were enrolled as subjects. Sixty patients with stage ⅡA?ⅢB cervical cancer undergoing conventional external?beam radiotherapy within the same period were also enrolled. The CBCT?based setup errors, containing setup errors in x, y, and z directions and three?dimensional vector deviation, in the initial treatment were obtained from each patient. Comparison of errors between the two treatment approaches was made by independent?samples t test. Results Fitting the data to a linear model revealed that the setup errors in x, y, and z directions increased with the increase in the distance between the position reference point and the center point of the target volume. External?beam radiation combined with intracavitary radiation had significantly reduced setup errors in x, y, and z directions than the conventional external?beam radiation ( 0.13± 0?12 vs. 0.31± 0?24, P=0?000;0.23±0?18 vs. 0.47±0?36, P=0?001;0.18±0?11 vs. 0.27±0?18, P=0?001). Conclusions In order to reduce the setup errors, CT scan needs not only a reference marker as close as possible to the center of the tumor, but also a reliable and accurate approach for postural fixation.

BACKGROUND: Measuring result of the lower limb alignment is often influenced by various factors, such as femoral bowing angle (FBA) in different positions.OBJECTIVE: To measure the FBA and femoral valgus correction angle (VCA) in different positions after CT reconstruction of lower limb model, and simulating X-ray examination, and to explore the rule of FBA affecting lower limb alignment.METHODS: Twenty patients undergoing CT angiography of lower extremity artery were enrolled, three-dimensional reconstruction of low limb was established on Mimics13.0 software based on CT data, and the FBA in standard posture was determined. All patients were divided into groups A (FBA > 2°), B (2° > FBA > 0°), C (0° > FBA > -2°) and D (FBA <-2°) (n=5 per group). Then each model was revolved through the vertical axis from 20° of internal rotation to 20° of external rotation by 2° for one motion, and 21 three-dimensional images were transformed into two-dimensional images to obtain the X-ray images of low limb. FBA and VCA in different positions were measured.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The outcome measurements showed that FBA tended to be decreased in internal rotation and increased in external rotation. (2) VCA tended to be increased in external rotation and decreased in internal rotation. (3) FBA was positively correlated with VCA in the different positions (P < 0.01). (4) These results suggest that FBA can be altered with rotation and even expose influence on VCA. The bigger FBA is, the more influence on the lower limb alignment. Therefore, it is advisable to conduct the full length X-ray of lower limb in a standard posture, especially for the patients with larger FBA.
