Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Qijialifei capsule,a kind of Chinese traditional medicine,as adjuvant chemotherapy for retreatment patients with smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods One hundred and sixty retreatment cases with smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis were divided into observation group (80 cases) and control group (80 cases).All patients received the therapy of 3SHRZE/6HRE.The patients in observation group took Qijialifei capsule.Then comparisons were made between two groups in the sputum tubercle bacillus conversion rate,focus improvement rate,cavity closing rate,the cellular immune function,and clinical symptom improvement.Results In 160 cases,77 cases in observation group and 78 cases in control group completed the treatment.At the end of intensified therapy period and at the end of the whole therapy the sputum tubercle bacillus conversion rate [79.2％ (61/77),92.2％ (71/77)] in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group [64.1％ (50/78),78.2％ (61/78)](P ＜ 0.05).The focus improvement rate,cavity closing rate in observation group [74.0％(57/77),26.0％(20/77)] were significantly higher than those in control group [52.6％ (41/78),11.5％ (9/78)] (P ＜ 0.05).At the end of intensified therapy period,the focus improvement rate,cavity closing rate in observation group [92.2％ (71/77),54.5％ (42/77)] were significandy higher than those in control group [76.9％ (60/78),29.5％ (23/78)] (P ＜ 0.05).By the end of the whole therapy,the number of CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ of patients in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group (P ＜ 0.05).The disappearance of clinical symptoms in observation group was shorter than that in control group(P ＜ 0.05).The rate of side effects on Qijialifei capsule was only 1.3％(1/77).Conclusions Qijialifei capsule can improve the cellular immune function of the patients,can effectively alleviate the symptoms and can improve the sputum tubercle bacillus conversion rate,radiographic focus improvement rate and cavity closing rate.It is safe.

Objectives To test a simple method for genotyping of C.trachomatis isolates and to investigate the clinical significance of the genotypes. Methods A part of the chlamydial genome encoding the major outer membrane protein(omp1) was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The products were digested by endonucleases to see the characteristic patterns, after silver staining on 10% polyacrylamide gels. Results The omp1 genes of 15 serovars of C. trachomatis were amplified by PCR,which generated an 871 base pair gene fragment. AluⅠ digestion of the product gave characteristic patterns for the 15 serovars,but group C presented closely similar patterns. A triple digestion with HpaⅡ, followed by HinfⅠ and EcoRⅠ, would allow the differentiation of serovars in group C. Analysis of 74 clinical isolates revealed serovars E, F, D, G as the most prevalent genital serovars in the studied populations. Serovars B, H, J were occasionally identified. A mixed infection with serovars F and D was seen in a clinical sample. No significant relationship was observed between clinical manifestations of urogenital chlamydial infections and serovars,however,serovar D was more often associated with high titer of anti chlamydial antibody than other serovars. Conclusion The omp1 genotyping technique seems to be promising for epidemiological studies.

Objective To explore the variation of serum D-lactic acid levels and the correlation between different intestinal viral and intestinal barrier function in children with hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). Methods The stools of 129 children with HFMD were collected and were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The children were divided into four groups according the fecal pathogens detection:enterovirus 71 (EV71) positive group, Coxsackie virus A16 (CoxA16) positive group, other intestinal virus positive group (EA positive group), and no intestinal virus group (EA negative group). Two ml venous blood and separation serum was collected in each group of children, and the level of serum D-lactic acid was detected further. Results There were 20 cases of other Coxsackie virus, and they were not grouped. Fifty-seven patients were in EV71 positive group, 26 patients were in CoxA16 positive group, 10 patients were in EA positive group, and 16 patients were in EA negative group. The level of D- lactic acid in four groups was 26.28 (17.02- 58.01), 14.43 (8.93- 20.66), 10.66 (6.64- 18.51) and 14.07 (11.83- 27.46) mg/L. The results of rank test showed the level of D-lactic in EV71 positive group was significantly higher than that in EA positive group (Z=-2.432, P=0.015) and EA negative group (Z=-3.092, P=0.002). Conclusions D-lactic acid level increases significantly in EV71 infection children and suggests that the illness is more serious and the intestinal barrier is damaged. Doctors should pay more attention to monitor and protect gastrointestinal function of children with HFMD.

Objective To investigate the current status of health education among nursing undergraduates,to analyze the existing problems and to bring up corresponding strategies for improving the health education ability for nursing undergraduates.Methods Totally 381 nursing undergraduates were recruited and investigated with a self-designed questionnaire.Aspects of students' cognition of health education,influencing factors of health education and the implementation of health education in clinic were investigated.Data were processed using SPSS 12.0 and percentages were calculated.Resuits 98.75％ students understood the importance of heath education in nursing work.However,systemic training courses of health education for nursing undergraduates were insufficient in both colleges and hospitals.Meanwhile,clinical teachers' ability of health education was limited.Only 15.59％students provided health education for patients independently.Conclusions Nursing colleges and practicing hospitals should strengthen health education consciousness of nursing undergraduates,enhance faculty construction and should set up related courses to train the health education skills.

Objective:To investigate the change of apoptosis-associated genes in human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines A549/DDP cells,which were induced by the recombinant human interleukin-24(rhIL-24) combined with Cisplatin (DDP). Methods: Six genes expression level by GeXP genetic analysis system at the same time,after rhIL-24,DDP and rhIL-24+DDP were used to intervene in A549/DDP cells. Results:rhIL-24 could induce Bax gene,Caspase3 gene and Rb gene transcription up regulation;Bcl-2 gene and survivin gene transcription down regulation. But no regular change in the genes expression level of P53. Bax,Survivin and Rb were more obviously changed after rhIL-24 combined with DDP. Conclusion: RhIL-24 can induce apoptosis of A549/DDP cells through upregulated the genes expression level of Bax,Caspase3,Rb and down regulated of Bcl-2,Survivin.

Objective To explore the factors associated with delayed defecation in long-term ventilated patients in intensivecare unit (ICU) and their potential effect on prognosis.Methods A prospective observational cohort study was conducted. The patients admitted to general ICU of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from October 1st in 2013 to September 30th in 2015 who underwent mechanical ventilation (MV) for ≥6 days were enrolled, and they were divided into early defecation group (< 6 days) and late defecation group (≥6 days). At admission, clinical nutritional support were given as usual, and gender, age, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score, admission reasons, MV reasons, the usage of morphine and epinephrine/norepinephrine, the highest positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), the lowest oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) and the lowest systolic blood pressure were collected. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of the first defecation time. ICU mortality, the length of ICU stay, central venous catheter (CVC) indwelling time, duration of MV, ICU acquired bacterial infection rate, and the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) were compared between early defecation group and late defecation group. Logisticorgan dysfunction system (LOD) scores and gastric residual volume per day were recorded at the different time of MV.Results Totally 189 patients were enrolled, 39 patients did not satisfied the inclusion criteria and 13 patients gave up treatment or referrals were excluded. Finally 137 patients were enrolled in the analysis, 83 patients in late defecation group and 54 in early defecation group. There were no significant differences in the baseline characteristics such as gender, age, APACHE Ⅱ score, LOD score at 1 day of MV, admission reasons, MV reasons, disgorging and gastric residual volume per day during the first 5 days of MV, enteral nutrition, lactulose treatment in patients with hepatic encephalopathy during the first 5 days of MV, and blood purification treatment between the two groups (allP > 0.05). Compared with the early defecation group, late defecation group had less patients with loose stools or watery stool at first time [15.7% (13/83) vs. 33.3% (18/54)], more patients using morphine and the usage of epinephrine/norepinephrine more than 24 hours [48.2% (40/83) vs. 40.7% (22/54), 42.2%(35/83) vs. 29.6% (16/54)], higher the maximum PEEP level [cmH2O (1 cmH2O = 0.098 kPa): 7.9±3.7 vs. 6.7±3.5], lower the minimal systolic blood pressure [mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 74.8±28.1 vs. 88.9±30.2] and more severe of hypoxemia [PaO2/FiO2 < 150 mmHg, 54.2% (5/83) vs. 44.4% (24/53)], all of which had significant differences (allP < 0.05). Factors found statistical significances by single factor analysis were enrolled in the multiple regression analysis, which showed that PaO2/FiO2 < 150 mmHg and systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg were independently associated with a delay in defecation in patients undergoing long-term MV [PaO2/FiO2 < 150 mmHg: adjusted hazard rate: 1.415, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.061-1.590,P = 0.026; systolic blood pressure 70-89 mmHg:HR = 1.461, 95%CI = 1.164-1.788, P = 0.002; systolic blood pressure ≤ 69 mmHg: adjusted hazard rate= 1.273, 95%CI = 1.010-1.587,P = 0.034). ICU mortality, the length of ICU stay, CVC indwelling time, duration of MV, ICU acquired bacterial infection rate, and the incidence of VAP at 7 days of MV in late defecation group were significantly higher than those of early defecation group [ICU mortality rate: 15.7% (13/83) vs. 7.4% (4/54), the length of ICU stay (day): 17.0 (14.0, 23.0) vs. 15.0 (13.8, 20.0), CVC indwelling time (days): 12.0 (10.0, 14.0) vs. 10.0 (9.0, 11.3), duration of MV (days): 14.0 (10.0, 20.0) vs. 11.0 (9.8, 15.3), ICU acquired bacterial infections rate: 60.2% (50/83) vs. 14.8% (8/54), the incidence of VAP: 32.5% (27/83) vs. 14.8% (8/54); allP < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in LOD score between both groups. The LOD scores at 4 days and 9 days of MV in late defecation group were significantly higher than those of early defecation group (6.41±4.37 vs. 5.21±3.12, 4.33±2.20 vs. 3.50±2.90, bothP < 0.01).Conclusions PaO2/FiO2 < 150 mmHg and systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg during the first 5 days of MV were independently associated with a delay in defecation in patients undergoing long-term MV. The results suggest that constipation is associated with adverse outcomes in long-term ventilated patients.

AIM: To investigate therapeutic effects of recombinant human growth hormone(rhGH) on rat sepsis and its possible mechanisms. METHODS: Mean arterial pressure (MAP), levels of plasma TNF?,IL-1? and endotoxin,leukocyte count and survival rate within 1 week were determined after E. coli injection among control group,sepsis group and sepsis+rhGH group. RESULTS: (1)rhGH diminished the decrease of MAP, reduced plasma endotoxin and TNF? levels and increased neutrophil ratio in total leukocytes in sepsis rat. rhGH increased survival rate within 1 week on sepsis rat. (2)No changes were found in IL-1? level among the three groups. CONCLUSION: rhGH showed desirable beneficial effects on rat sepsis, which may attribute to: improving circulatory function; maintaining intestinal mucosa barrier, attenuating bacteria/endotoxin translocation and inhibiting the production and release of TNF?.

To study the chemical constituents of Asarum himalaicum, fifteen compounds were isolated from a 70% ethanol extract by using a combination of various chromatographic techniques including column chromatography over silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and semi-preparative HPLC. By spectroscopic techniques including 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HR-ESI-MS, these compounds were identified as 4-demethoxyaristolochic acid BII (1), aristolochic acid I (2), aristolochic acid Ia (3), 7-hydroxyaristolochic acid I (4), aristolochic acid IV (5), aristolic acid II (6), debilic acid (7), aristololactam I (8), 9-hydroxyaristololactam I (9), 7-methoxyaristololactam IV (10), (2S)-narigenin-5, 7-di-O-beta-D-pyranosylglucoside (11), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (12), 3, 4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (13), 4-hydroxycinnamic acid (14), and beta-sitosterol (15). All of these compounds (1-15) were obtained from A. himalaicum for the first time. Among them, 1 was identified as a new compound, and compounds 3-6, 9, 12-14 were isolated from Asarum genus for the first time. Since the kidney toxicity of aristolochic acids and aristololactams has been reported, the result of this investigation suggests that it should be cautioned to use A. himalaicum as a medicine.
