Objective To investigate and compare the applications of white blood cell count (WBC),neutrophil percentage (N%),C reactive protein (CRP)and procalcitonin (PCT)in the detection of bacterial infections.Methods Patients were randomly recruited in the study,70 patients with bacterial infection disease were recruited in the study as bacterial infection group,81 patients without bacterial infection were enrolled as no infection group.WBC,N%,CRP and PCT were detected,then comparative analysis of test results performed.Results Compared with no bacterial infection group,WBC,N%,CRP and PCT were increased in bacterial infection group(P <0.05),CRP and PCT increased obviously.The positive rate of WBC,N%,CRP and PCT in bacterial infection group was significantly higher than that of no bacterial infection group(P <0.05).In the bacterial infection group,the positive rate of N%,CRP and PCT was significantly higher than that of WBC(P <0.05),the positive rate of CRP was higher than PCT(P <0.05).But the positive rate of CRP was relatively high,and PCT was low in no bacterial infection group,suggesting that the false positive rate of CRP was higher,while that of PCT was lower,which had higher specificity.Conclusion WBC,N%,CRP and PCT all have clinical value for bacterial infections diagnosis.For the diagnosis of bacterial infections,N%,CRP and PCT is superior to WBC.CRP is more sensitive,but less specific,therefore,PCT with higher specificity was more suitable in the diagnosis of bacterial infections.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on kidney injury induced by urinary-derived sepsis. Methods Rabbits were randomly divided into Control group, Sham group, Sepsis group, NaHS 2.8μmol/kg group and NaHS 8.4μmol/kg group. Upper urinary tract obstruction and acute infection was induced to estab-lish Sepsis model. At 24 h before surgery, and 24 h, 48 h, 72 h after surgery, blood was taken to examine white blood cell count (WBC), creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). At 72 h after surgery, morphological changes were observed by HE staining and transmission electron microscopy. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect TNF-α, IL-10 and NF-κB expression. Blood H2S concentration was measured by deproteinization and Cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE) activity us-ing spectrophotometric methylene blue method. Results At 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after surgery, Levels of WBC, Cr and BUN were all elevated in Sepsis group compared with the other four groups. Levels of WBC and BUN in NaHS 8.4μmol/kg group were lower than those in NaHS 2.8μmol/kg group. At 24 h, 48 h after surgery, there is no significant difference be-tween levels of Cr in NaHS 8.4 μmol/kg group and that in NaHS 2.8 μmol/kg group , but Cr level in NaHS 8.4 μmol/kg group was marked lower than that in NaHS 2.8μmol/kg group 72 hour after surgery. Pathological features of kidney injury were also alleviated by intravenous administration of NaHS. TNF-α, NF-κB expressions in NaHS 2.8μmol/kg group and NaHS 8.4 μmol/kg group were lower than those in Sepsis group, IL- 10 expression was higher than that in Sepsis group. TNF-α, NF-κB expressions in NaHS 8.4μmol/kg group were lower than that in NaHS 2.8μmol/kg group, whereas IL-10 expression in NaHS 8.4μmol/kg group was higher than that in NaHS 2.8μmol/kg group. Compared with Control group and Sham group, H2S content and CSE expression in kidney were decreased in Sepsis group. After intravenous administration of NaHS, H2S content increased, but the CSE activity has no obvious change. Conclusion Exogenous H2S reduced kidney in-jury induced by urinary-derived sepsis through inhibiting NF-κB, decreasing TNF-αand increasing IL-10.

Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of dexamethasone (Dex) on bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Methods Forty 3-month-old female SD rats were divided into four groups:control group (Cont, saline), low dose Dex group (LDG, 1 mg/kg), medium dose Dex group (MDG, 2.5 mg/kg) and high dose Dex group (HDG, 5 mg/kg). Ten rats for each group. Dex was injected intramuscularly twice a week. The values of BMD and body composition were measured by DEXA densitometer at the beginning and 4-week of treatment. Results The body weights of different doses of Dex intervention groups were decreased after 1 to 4-week intervention compared with those of Cont group (P<0.01). After 4-week intervention, the total BMD, femur BMD, total bone mineral content (BMC), to-tal fat mass, trunk fat mass and leg fat mass were significantly increased in Cont group (P<0.01), while the total lean mass, trunk lean mass were significantly decreased (P<0.01). The total BMC, femur BMD, leg lean mass, leg fat mass were signifi-cantly lower in LDG group and MDG group than those of Cont group (P<0.05). The femur BMD, leg fat mass were signifi-cantly lower in LDG group and MDG group than those of HDG group (P<0.05). Conclusion The doses of 1 mg/kg and 2.5 mg/kg Dex have greater impact on the femur BMD and the leg composition in SD rats than that of Dex (dose of 5 mg/kg ).

Objective To study the mutagenic action of antiepileptic drugs(AEDs), and find an effective way to prevent the mutagenesis induced by AEDs,by observing the effects of AEDs on serum folic acid(FA) level and sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequency in epileptic children.Methods Ninty epileptic children were divided into different groups on the basis of the different drugs they had taken, then detected the two indexes at different time points.Results The serum FA level and SCE frequency of the patients significantly decreased and increased after they took carbamazepine (CBZ) and valproic acid (VPA)respectively. The two indexes went back respectively when supplied with FA.Conclusions Both CBZ and VPA possess mutagenic action, yet nitrazepam does not.FA may help repair the chromosome damage and reduce the mutagenesis effects.
