Objective To explore the clinical presentation,etiology of sepsis,common positions of in-fection and anti-infectious treatment of pediatric acute leukemia with septicemia resistance to carbapenem. Meth-ods A retrospective chart review of all pediatric acute leukemia with septicemia cases of Beijing Children 's Hospital from December 2011 to September 2015 were analyzed. All cases were selected based on the clinical presentation,at least one Gram-negative bacteria positive result of blood culture and were resistant to carbapen-em. The basic clinical characteristics and the results of blood culture and antimicrobial susceptibilities were ana-lyzed. Results All 45 cases with fever,among them 8 cases under went continued fever,The other 37 cases fe-ver days were ( 6. 1 ± 5. 2 ) d. Twenty-six cases had agranulocytosis. Agranulocytosis time from 2 to 79 days, mean days(15. 2 ± 16. 2)d. Significant difference of fever time between agranulocytosis team and non-agranulo-cytosis team was significant(P=0. 011). Twenty-three cases had infection positions among 45 cases. Lung,di-gestive tract,mouth and crissum were the common positions of infection. The quantum of blood culture samples were 711 parts. There were 162 parts resistant to carbapenems. The primary pathogens were pseudomonas aerugi-nosa,klebsiella pneumoniae, enterobacter cloacae and Escherichia coli. Among those 45 cases, 36 cases were cured,9 cases were ineffective treatment. Conclusion Pseudomonas aeruginosa, klebsiella pneumoniae, enter-robacter cloacae and Escherichia coli accounted for the most of G-bacteria infections resistant to carbapenem in our center. The incidence of septicemia was related to the level of granulocyte and duration of agranulocytosis.

Purpose To investigate the expression of Dkk3 and Cyclin D1 protein in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and clinical significance.Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to detect Dkk-3 and Cyclin D1 protein expression level in 80 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma and corresponding para-cancer tissue.Results The expression of Dkk-3 in hepatocellular carcinoma was significantly lower than those in corresponding para-cancer tissue (P ＜ 0.05) and the expression of Cyclin D1 in hepatocellular carcinoma was significantly higher than those in CoTesponding para-cancer tissue (P ＜ 0.05).The up-regulation of Cyclin D1 and the down-regulation of Dkk-3 proteins were correlated with pathologic differentiation degree (P ＜0.05).There was a significant inverse correlation between Dkk3 and Cyclin D1 expression (P =0.044,rs =-0.226).Conclusion The abnormal expression of Dkk-3 and Cyclin D1 gene in human hepatocellular carcinoma suggest that Dkk-3 and Cyclin D1 gene may play an important role in the development and progression of the cancer.The combination deteetion of the two biomarkers may provide valuable data for diagnosis and prognosis estimation of HCC.

Objective To investigate the epidemiology of fungemia and provide evidence for clinical therapy.Methods A retrospective survey was conducted with 42 cases of fungemia in our hospital from Jan 2002 to Jan 2011.Results Forty cases candida fungemia accounted for 95.2％ in 42 fugemia.The main pathogen agent was non-Candida albicans in candida fungemia,which were candida albicans(14.3％),candida parapsilosis (38.1％),candida glabrata (35.7 ％),candida tropicalis (2.4％).Eleven uneffecfive cases accounted for 26.2％.Multiple-factor analysis showed that neutropenia time ＞ 7 days,antibiotic using time ＞ 7 days and fungal infection history correlated with bad prognosis.Our study also showed that chemotherapy regiments including hormone、combining with other organs fungal infection and non-Candida albicans were risk factors of bad prognosis.Conclusion The main pathogen agent of fungimia is candida,especially non-Candida albicans.Neutropenia time ＞ 7 days,antibiotic using time ＞ 7 days and fungal infection history correlate with poor prognosis.

Objective To measure hepatic ultrasonic integrated backscatter (IBS) in healthy rabbits as a non-invasive quantitative diagnostic means for hepatic steatosis, hepatic fibrosis, and liver cirrhosis; to determine the factors that may influence the IBS measurement. Methods Thirty-five healthy New Zealand white rabbits with normal liver function tests and normal liver biopsies were used in this study. HP Sonos 5500 image system with quantitative analysis function was used for IBS measurement. With the machine setting fixed, and optimal image obtained, left and right liver were divided into near, medial and far areas according to the depth. Further the measurements of IBS in different depth were performed respectively. Meanwhile, in the same liver the IBS image was collected and the change of IBS intensity was measured in various setting of machine index (MI), time gain compensation (TGC) and lateral gain compensation (LGC). Results Average image intensity (AII) of left liver (from near to far areas) was ( 25.38? 2.36)dB, ( 26.32? 2.38)dB, and ( 26.45? 2.28)dB, respectively. The AII of the right liver (from near to far areas) was ( 24.99? 2.23)dB, ( 24.92? 2.59)dB, and ( 25.38? 2.36)dB, respectively. The average standardized AII of image in left livers was significantly higher than that of the right (P

Objective To optimize the technology conditions of ultrasonic-enzyme-assisted extraction for sanguinarine from Zanthoxylum nitidum.Methods Extraction rate of sanguinarine determined by HPLC was served as an index.The applicability of the extraction solvent added with acid and enzymatic hydrolysis pretreatment to the ultrasonic-enzyme-assisted extraction of Zanthoxylum nitidum was investigated.Ultrasonic power,extraction frequency and solvent volume were optimized by orthogonal experiment.Finally,ultrasonic extraction time was optimized in dynamic process.Results The optimal process was as follows:Zanthoxylum nitidum powder was extracted 3 times by ultrasonic-wave (250 W) with 40％ ethanol (0.2％hydrochloride) as solvent (extracted for 15 rmin with 6-fold solvent at the first time,then extracted for 12 min with 3-fold solvent at the second and the third time,respectively).The extraction rate of sanguinarine was 88.6％.Conclusion The process is economic,efficient,energy-and time-saving,and provides experimental basis for industrial production of sanguinarine.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of microsatellite instability (MSI) in stage Ⅱ colon cancer patients.Methods 120 stage Ⅱ colon cancer patients underwent radical resection in the Department of Colorectal Surgery,Beijing Cancer Hospital from 2000 to 2007.Tissue samples were collected and DNA was extracted for MSI determination using PCR following the Pentaplex panel.Clinical parameters were also combined and analyzed statistically to explore the association between MSI status and clinical parameters.Results The incidence of high frequency of microsatellite instability (MSI-H) was 20.8％ in these 120 stage Ⅱ colon cancer patients.There was a significant correlation between the status of MSI and tumor differentiation (x2 =9.69,P =0.021);However MSI status was demonstrated to be a prognostic factor for disease free survival or overall survival (all P ＞ 0.05).Nor was MSI status associated with tumor relapse or metastasis.Age and preoperative serum CEA level were identified as independent factors for DFS by Cox regression.Conclusion In stage Ⅱ colon cancer patients,MSI status correlates with tumor differentiation,but is not a prognostic factor.
