OBJECTIVE To understand epidemiologic situation of pathogens causing nosocomial infection,their resistance and changing pattern.METHODS A retrospective analysis was made upon the pathogens data from 2002 to 2006.The identification of bacteria was evaluated by VITEK32 and susceptibility test by K-B method.RESULTS The prevalence rate was 6.4%,and main infection sites were lower respiratory tract and urinary tract.Gram-negative bacteria(38.11%) stood first,followed by Gram-positive bacteria(25.25%) and fungi(22.54%).The mean resistance of Gram-negative bacteria was very high,from them Stenotrophomonas maltophilia(72.71%) and Chryseobacterium meningosepticum(68.13%) stood the highest.Besides Enterococcus faecalis,the mean resistance of Gram-positive bacteria exceeded 55.00%.Candida albicans stood first on the list of fungi.CONCLUSIONS The composition of pathogens is changing and showing serious resistances.It is important to strengthen nosocomial infection management and utilize drug rationally.

Objective To investigate the association between TLR4,C-Jun N-terminal kinase,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),Leptin changes and chronic intermittent hypoxia(CIH). Methods Twenty-four SD rats were divided into 3 groups (n=8):control group,CIH 6 weeks group, CIH 8 weeks group. After the modeling,the change of blood pressure and renal artery were observed by the use of non-invasive blood pressure analyzer and HE staining. ELISA was employed to determine the production of TNF-αand Leptin in sera of these animals. The expressions of TLR4 and JNK mRNA were detected by real time quantitativer everse transcription-polymerase chain reaction ( QRT-PCR) method in the adipose tissue. Results The blood pressure in intermittent hypoxia group was signifi-cantly higher than those in control group(P<0.01), and the renal artery pathological changes in intermittent hy-poxia group were significantly heavier than those in control group;the content of TNF-α and Leptin in intermittent hypoxia was significantly higher than those in control group(P<0.01),and the content of TNF-α and Leptin was significantly increased with the days of hypoxia;the expression of TLR4 and JNK at mRNA levels in intermittent hy-poxia was significantly higher than those in control group(P<0.01),and the expression of TLR4 and JNK at mR-NA levels was significantly increased with the days of hypoxia. Conclusion TLR4,JNK,TNF-α,Leptin may be in-volved in the inflammatory response of chronic intermittent hypoxia in rats.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and value of bronchoscopy combined with normal treatment for postoperative complications-atelectasis and pneumonia. Method A systematic search in PubMed, CNKI, WANFANG was performed using “bronchoscopy” crossed with “atelectasis”, “pneumonia”. All the randomized controlled trials (RCT) on bronchoscopy used for postoperative complications were collected, which contain atelectasis or pneumonia. Meta-analysis was handled by RevMan 5.3. Result A total of 543 clients included in 8 studies, There were statistically significant differences in development of postoperative pulmonary complications such as atelectasis and pneumonia treated with normal treatment or ifbrotic bronchoscopy additionally [OR^ =3.80, 95%CI (2.24, 6.45), P=0.000]. Conclusion Bronchoscopy combined with normal treatment is more effective and useful than normal treatment in postoperative complications-atelectasis and pneumonia.

Objective:To investigate the ultrasonic characteristics of eccrine spiradenoma (ES) and to analyze the diagnostic value.Methods:Nineteen ES patients with 24 lesions confirmed by pathology in 3 grade-A tertiary hospitals from October 2011 to October 2021 were enrolled as study group, and in the same time, 46 patients with 46 masses in the skin and muscular tissues with clinical features of automatic pain and/or tenderness were selected as control group. The ultrasonographic characteristics of the two groups were analyzed retrospectively, including anatomical location, shape, boundary, internal echogenicity, echogenic distribution, calcification, posterior acoustic effect, and vascularity. The ultrasonographic characteristics of the two groups were compared, and the risk sonographic characteristics of ES were obtained by multivariate logistic regression analysis. The sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound characteristics for the diagnosis of ES were calculated.Results:The ultrasonic characteristics of the two groups had significant differences in lobulated shape, boundary, internal echogenicity and posterior acoustic effect (χ 2=32.65, 15.65, 5.77, 13.63; all P<0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that lobulated shape and posterior acoustic enhancement were the risk ultrasonic characteristics of ES. The sensitivity and specificity of lobulated shape and posterior acoustic enhancement characteristics in the diagnosis of ES were 79.17%, 89.13%, 95.83% and 47.83%, respectively; and the sensitivity and specificity of the combination of lobulated shape and posterior acoustic enhancement characteristics in the diagnosis of ES were 79.17% and 97.83%, respectively. Conclusions:The lobulated shape and posterior acoustic enhancement characteristics are important for the identification of ES, which have higher diagnostic efficacy for ES.

Lipid rafts composed of saturated phospholipids,sphingomyelin,and cholesterol are usually defined as liquid ordered microdomains located in the cell membrane. Lipid rafts are involved in many physiological and pathological processes of cells. Based on the difference in composition and distribution between lipid raft and non-raft domains,a lipid raft probe with aggregation-induced emission (AIE),cholesterol-triethylene glycol-tetraphenylethylene (TCHS-TPE),was designed and synthesized for convenient and specific imaging of lipid raft domains on cell membranes in this study. In this paper,TCHS-TPE was successfully synthesized,and the photophysical properties of TCHS-TPE were measured to evaluate its AIE characteristics. And finally the specific imaging of TCHS-TPE on the lipid raft region of B16F10 melanoma cell membrane was studied using confocal laser scanning microscopy. Compared with the existing lipid raft probe cholera toxin B (CTxB),the TCHS-TPE lipid raft probe has the advantages of simple operation and high specificity. The successful synthesis of the fluorescent probe will provide a useful tool for studying the physiological and pathological processes related to lipid raft domains,and offer a theoretical basis for the design of imaging probes for other lipid raft domains.

Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy of different anti-tumor therapies for recurrence and metastasis after liver transplantation for primary liver cancer (liver cancer). Methods Clinical data of 145 recipients undergoing liver transplantation for liver cancer were retrospectively analyzed. The overall survival and recurrence and metastasis after liver transplantation for liver cancer were analyzed. The clinical efficacy of different anti-tumor therapies for recipients with recurrence and metastasis were compared. Results Sixty-five recipients (44.8%) developed recurrence and metastasis. The median recurrence time was 6 months. Among them, 1 case underwent secondary liver transplantation after recurrence and died of intestinal perforation. Twenty-four recipients (37%) received targeted drug therapy with a median tumor-bearing survival of 22 months. Eleven recipients (17%) received radiotherapy or chemotherapy with a median tumor-bearing survival of 11 months. Nine recipients (14%) received local treatment (surgical resection or radiofrequency ablation), and the median tumor-bearing survival was 8 months. Twenty recipients (31%) abandoned anti-tumor therapy, and the median tumor-bearing survival was 3 months. The tumor-bearing survival of recipients receiving anti-tumor therapy was significantly longer than that of recipients without anti-tumor therapy (P < 0.001). The tumor-bearing survival of recipients receiving targeted drug therapy was significantly longer than that of those receiving other anti-tumor therapies (P=0.03). The tumor-bearing survival of recipients receiving local treatment, radiotherapy and chemotherapy was considerably longer than that of those who abandoned anti-tumor therapy (P=0.004). Conclusions Surgical resection and radiofrequency ablation are the optimal therapies for recipients with recurrence and metastasis after liver transplantation for liver cancer. For recipients with multi-focal tumors who fail to receive local treatment, those receiving targeted drug therapy obtain the longest survival. In addition, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can also prolong the survival of recipients with recurrence and metastasis.

Purpose: The systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) has been reported to have prognostic ability in various solid tumors but has not been studied in gallbladder cancer (GBC). We aimed to determine its prognostic value in GBC. Materials and Methods: From 2003 to 2017, patients with confirmed GBC were recruited. To determine the SIRI’s optimal cutoff value, a time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve was applied. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were performed for the recognition of significant factors. Then the cohort was randomly divided into the training and the validation set. A nomogram was constructed using the SIRI and other selected indicators in the training set, and compared with the TNM staging system. C-index, calibration plots, and decision curve analysis were performed to assess the nomogram’s clinical utility. Results: One hundred twenty-four patients were included. The SIRI’s optimal cutoff value divided patients into high (≥ 0.89) and low SIRI (< 0.89) groups. Kaplan-Meier curves according to SIRI levels were significantly different (p < 0.001). The high SIRI group tended to stay longer in hospital and lost more blood during surgery. SIRI, body mass index, weight loss, carbohydrate antigen 19-9, radical surgery, and TNM stage were combined to generate a nomogram (C-index, 0.821 in the training cohort, 0.828 in the validation cohort) that was significantly superior to the TNM staging system both in the training (C-index, 0.655) and validation cohort (C-index, 0.649). Conclusion The SIRI is an independent predictor of prognosis in GBC. A nomogram based on the SIRI may help physicians to precisely stratify patients and implement individualized treatment.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of sirolimus-based immunosuppressive protocol on tumor recurrence and tumor-free survival after liver transplantation(LT)in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)patients.Methods:From January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018, a total of 114 HCC patients undergoing LT were recruited and divided into two groups of sirolimus(SRL)and tacrolimus. Univariate and multivariant analyses were performed for evaluating the risk factors of recurrence after LT. Tumor-free survival were compared using Cox logistic regression analysis.Results:Tumor recurrence and/or metastasis occurred in 45 patients. Univariate and multivariate regression analysis indicated that sirolimus was an independent protective factor for preventing tumor recurrence( P=0.005, HR=0.38, 95% CI 0.193~0.748). The median tumor-free survival time was 5(4~19)months in tacrolimus group and 23(13~31)months in sirolimus group. No inter-group statistical difference existed in incidence of infection or rejection complications( P>0.05). Conclusions:HCC patients benefit from sirolimus-based immunosuppressive protocol after LT. And sirolimus may reduce tumor recurrence rate and prolong tumor-free survival time.
