The top three departments of HAI distribution were intensive care unit (26.32%),neurosurgery (6.10%),and neonatal intensive care unit(5.13%);the main infection site was lower respiratory tract(n=39,30.71 %),followed by skin-soft tissue (n=24,18.90%)and superficial incision (n=23,18.11 %).58 pathogenic isolates were detec-ted,gram-negative bacteria were the major pathogens (n=44),gram-positive bacteria and fungi were 10 and 3 iso-lates respectively.Antimicrobial usage rate at survey day was 42.12%,64.75% of which were for therapeutic, 26.83% for prophylactic,and 8.42% for therapeutic+prophylactic use;the percentage of mono-drug,two drugs combination,and three or more drugs combination use were 79.53%,19.89%,and 0.58% respectively;bacterial detection rate in patients receiving therapeutic as well as therapeutic+prophylactic antimicrobial use was 13.76%. Conclusion Survey on prevalence of HAI is helpful for understanding the current status of HAI,monitoring on HAI in key departments of hospital and key sites of patients should be strengthened to reduce the occurrence HAI effectively.

Objective To investigate the current situation of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in hospitals of Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture of Guizhou Province,and provide basis for formulating prevention and con-trol measures of HAI.Methods According to the unified plan of the National HAI Surveillance Network,26 hospi-tals in Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture of Guizhou Province were performed cross-sectional survey on HAI prevalence rate,antimicrobial use,and specimen bacterial culture rate.Results A total of 3 tertiary and 23 seconda-ry hospitals were investigated,7 799 inpatients were included,the prevalence rate of HAI was 2.54%(n =198), and case prevalence rate was 2.65% (n=205).HAI mainly distributed in intensive care unit (29.63%);the main infection site was lower respiratory tract (44.44%);HAI mainly caused by gram-negative bacteria,the major pathogens were Escherichia coli ,Pseudomonas aeruginosa ,and Klebsiella pneumoniae .The usage rate of antimi-crobial agents was 45.66%,secondary hospitals was higher than tertiary hospitals (53.65% vs 31 .14%,χ2 =148.53,P <0.001 ).74.02% of antimicrobial agents were for therapeutic purpose,19.77% for prophylaxis,and 6.21 % for both prophylactic and therapeutic application;81 .02% of patients received one agent,17.21 % received two,and 1 .77% received three and more agents;among patients who received antimicrobials for therapeutic as well as for both therapeutic and prophylactic purpose,only 29.37% were sent specimens for pathogenic detection.Conclusion The prevalence rate in this region is lower than national average level,antimicrobial usage rate is lower than national standard,management of key departments and key sites should be strengthened,antimicrobial agents,especially used in secondary hospitals should be used rationally.

Objective To investigate the construction of PICC catheterization nurses in Shandong province. Methods A total of 235 hospitals were investigated from PICC maintenance network in Shandong province with self-designed questionnaire through internet survey. Results 179 hospitals established intravenous (IV) nurse team(76.17%). 86.92%(93/107) of the tertiary hospitals established Ⅳ nurse team, which was higher than 67.19% (86/128) of the secondary hospitals, the difference was statistically significant(χ2=12.50,P<0.01). There were 1335 trained and certificated nurses while 1382 nurses engaging in PICC catheterization, and there were more PICC catheterization nurses in tertiary hospitals than secondary hospitals, the difference was statistically significant(t=7.23,P<0.01). 22.98%(54/235) of the hospitals had more PICC catheterization nurses than trained and certificated nurses, 11.49%(27/235) of the hospitals had more trained and certificated nurses than PICC catheterization nurses. 7.81%(108/1382) of the PICC catheterization nurses worked full-time and 31.91%(441/1382) had a manager position. 51.06% (120/235) of the hospitals had set up clear selection criteria for PICC catheterization nurses, mainly focusing on education background, professional tittle and (or) work experience. Organization in PICC training was diversified, giving priority to nursing association in provinceand nursing association in city. PICC catheterization nurses in only 20.43% (48/235) of the hospitals would accept training annually, 31.49%(74/235) of the hospitals would re-certificate PICC nurses. Conclusion PICC nurse team has been preliminarily established in Shandong province, but nursing staff deployment was unevenness, and primary hospitals should be further reinforced. The position role of PICC nurses should be further clarified. The selection criteria of PICC nurses should be further standardized. And the training space of PICC nurses should be further promoted.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the role of p38MAPK signaling pathway in the up-regulation of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression in the lung tissue in rats with acute lung injury (AL1) induced by endotoxic shock.MethodsForty-eight male SD rats,aged 8 weeks,weighing 180-200 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n =12 each):control group ( group C ) ; endotoxic shock group ( group LS );endotoxic shock +SB203580 (a specific p38MAPK inhibitor) group (group LSS) and SB203580 group (group SB).Normal saline 0.5ml was injected via the femoral vein in groups C and SB,while LPS 10 mg/kg (in 0.5 ml normal saline) was injected via the femoral vein in groups LS and LSS.When MAP was decreased to 75％ of baseline value,10％ dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) 0.1 ml was infused via the femoral vein in groups C and LS,while SB203580 5 mol/kg (in 10％ DMSO 0.1 ml) was infused via the femoral vein at a rate of 0.01 ml/min in groups LSS and SB.Arterial blood samples were obtained at 6 h after LPS or normal saline was given for blood gas analysis and oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) was calculated.Then the rats were sacrificed and the lungs were removed for microscopic examination.The pathological changes of the lung were scored.The lung water content was calculated.The MDA content,SOD activity,and expression of HO-1 mRNA and protein,p38MAPK protein and phospharylated p38MAPK (p-p38MAPK) protein were determined.ResultsCompared with group C,the oxygenation index and SOD activity were significantly decreased,the pathological score,lung water content and MDA content were significantly increased,and the expression of HO-1 mRNA and protein and p-p38MAPK protein was significantly up-regulated ( P＜0.05),while no significant change was found in p38MAPK protein expression in groups LS and LSS,and no significant change was found in the indexes mentioned above in group SB (P＞0.05).Compared with group LS,the oxygenation index and SOD activity were significantly increased,the pathological score,lung water content and MDA content were significantly decreased,the expression of HO-1 mRNA and protein was significantly up-regulated,and p-p38MAPK protein expression was down-regulated ( P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in p38MAPK protein expression in group LSS ( P＞0.05).ConclusionThe inhibition of p38MAPK signaling pathway can lead to the up-regulation of HO-1 expression in lung tissues in rats with ALI induced by endotoxic shock.

Objective To investigate the current status of healthcare-associated infection (HAI),community-associated infection(CAD,and antimierobial use in hospitalized patients in medical institutions of Guizhou Province.Methods In September 2014,infection status of hospitalized patients in 174 second level hospitals and above in Guizhou Province were performed cross-sectional survey.Results A total of 68 419 patients were surveyed,the actual survey rate was 99.65％.1 581 patients developed 1 684 cases of HAI,HAI prevalence rate and HAI case prevalence rate were 2.31％ and 2.46％ respectively,18 571 patients developed 19 191 cases of HAI,CAI prevalence rate and CAI case prevalence rate were 27.14％ and 28.05％ respectively;patients in general intensive care unit(ICU) and pediatric department(non-neonatal group) had the highest HAI and CAI prevalence rates respectively.Constituent ratios of HAI and CAI sites was significantly different(x2 =17 325.44,P＜0.01);Escherichia coli was the main pathogen causing HAI and CAI.Utilization rate of antimicrobial agents on the survey day was 39.82 ％,ICU (80.47 ％) and pediatric department (76.67 ％) were the highest.Therapeutic antimicrobial use accounted for 67.48 ％ (n =18 386),single antimicrobial use accounted for 79.55 ％ (n =21 672).Pathogenic detection rate of specimens from patients receiving therapeutic antimicrobial agents was 31.76％.Conclusion This survey is helpful for understanding the high risk departments and sites of HAI and CAI in Guizhou Province,as well as pathogenic detection rate of specimens from patients receiving therapeutic antimicrobial agents,which provides basis for further prevention and control of HAI.

AIM:To observe the structural basis of ocular motility abnormalities in patients with congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles type Ⅰ ( CFEOM Ⅰ) due to missense mutations in the developmental kinesin KIF21A using high - resolution magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) .
METHODS: Totally 11 affected individuals reported KIF21A mutations were correlated with MRI studies demonstrating extraocular muscles ( EOMs ) size, location, contractility, and innervation. EOMs and the motor nerve in the orbits were imaged with T1 weighted in a triplanar scan using a dual-phased coils with 2. 0mm thick. Motor nerves were imaged at the brainstem using head coils and 3D-FIESTA with 0. 6-mm thick.
RESULTS: Patients with CFEOM Ⅰ exhibited different degrees of hypoplasia of oculomotor nerve, the abducens nerve and the trochlear nerve were also affected, of which 8 cases of orbital section could see the signal of abnormal nerve dominated by oculomotor nerve to lateral rectus. The both sides of six EOMS in all patients exhibited variable atrophy and abnormal bright internal signal on T1 imaging, particularly severe for the superior rectus and levator muscles.
CONCLUSION: High - resolution MRI can directly demonstrate pathology of motor nerves,affected EOMs, and ‘Pulley' hypoplasia caused by CFEOM Ⅰ due to mutations in KIF21A,and these findings suggest that the neuronal hypoplasia is the etiological factor of CFEOM.

ObjectiveTo explore the procedures and methods for genetic diagnosis in one nonsyndromic variants of congenital neutropenia (NSVCN) patient and its pathogenic mutation.Methods Genomic DNA was prepared from one NSVCN patient who had progressed to chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and ELA2,HAX1,WASp and GFI1 genes were amplified and sequenced.Results A novel compound heterogeneous mutation consisting of two frame-shift mutations (c.430-1insG and c.655- 9del5bp) was found in HAX1 gene.ConclusionA practically genetic diagnosis procedure for NSVCN has been established,and the novel HAX1 gene mutation may contribute to the etiology of NSVCN.

In this study, SD rats were orally administrated with oteracil potassium (300 mg . kg-1 . d-1 ) to prepare the hyperuricemia model, and divided into normal, model, Allopurinol, LE high dosage, middle dosage and low dose (200, 100, 50 mg . kg-1 . d-1) groups. The rats were orally administrated with test drugs 1 hour later after being orally administrated with Oteracil potassium. After 7 days, serum uric acid, serum creatinine, uric acid and expression of relevant transporters in kidney were tested to study the regulatory effect of leonurus extracts on serum uric acid, renal function and relevant transporters in kidney of rats with hyperuricemia. Compared with the model group, the leonurus extract group could significantly down-regulate serum uric acid and creatinine levels of rats with hyperuricemia, and increase the urine uric acid level. Meanwhile, leonurus extracts could notably down-regulate the mRNA expressions of urate transporter 1 (URAT1) and glucose transporter 9 (GLUT9), up-regulate the mRNA expressions of organic cation transportanter (OCT) and Carnitine transporter (OCTN) and promote the excretion of uric acid of kidney.
