OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution,epidemic trend and transition of drugs′ sensitivity about the pathogenic bacteria of children′s urinary tract infection(UTI) in the past 8 years in the local area.METHODS The medical records of 391 UTI cases which were hospitalized in our hospital and confirmed as UTI through urine culture from 2000 to 2007,were reviewed and the clinical features were analyzed.RESULTS A total of 402 pathogenic bacteria were determined.Gram-negative bacilli were predominant,accounted for 72.9%,and Escherichia were the most commonly found(34.4%).Gram-positive cocci accounted for 27.1%,including 12.9% of Staphylococcus and 10.4% of Enterococcus.The proportion of Escherichia,Klebsiella and Enterococcus was increased year by year.Gram-negative bacilli had a high resistance rate to ampicillin and 1st to 4th generation cefalosporins and a low resistance rate to piperacillin/tazobactam.Gram-positive cocci had a high resistance rate to ampicillin and erythromycin and a low resistance rate to nitrofurantoin and vancomycin.In the past 8 years,the resistance rate to most of the antibacterial agents has been increased,especially ampicillin and cephalosporins.Only piperacillin/tazobactam and vancomycin maintained high antibacterial activities.CONCLUSIONS Gram-negative bacilli are the major pathogens in pediatric UTI,and Gram-positive cocci appear to be increasing.Ampicillin should not to be chosen commonly.The observation of variation of pathogenic bacteria and drug resistance is of great importance.

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) was applied to detect the antibody against CoxA16 and EV71 among 0~14 age groups. In 1 000 cases of children, the total positive rate of anti-EV71 IgM was 19. 9%, the total positive rate of anti-EV71 IgG was 47. 7%, the total positive rate of anti-CoxA16 IgM was 22. 8%, the to-tal positive rate of anti-CoxA16 IgG was 51. 3%. There was a negative correlation between positivity for EV71 IgM and positivity for CoxA16 IgM(χ2 =2. 794,P>0. 05). There was also a negative correlation between positivity for EV71 IgG and positivity for CoxA16 IgG(χ2 =2. 793,P>0. 05). The positive rate of IgG antibody against CoxA16 and EV71 was higher in neonatal group in which anti-EV71 IgG was 41 . 5% and anti-CoxA16 IgG was 49 . 5%. The lowest positive rate of IgG antibody against CoxA16 and EV71 was in infant group in which anti-EV71 IgG was 38. 0% and anti-CoxA16 IgG was 43. 5%. Except for neonatal group,the positive rate of IgG antibody against Cox-A16 and EV71 increased gradually with the age growth, there were statistical differences among the age groups (χ2=27. 04 and 19. 98,P<0. 01). With the age growth,the positive rate of IgM antibody against EV71 and CoxA16 increased,there were statistical differences among the age groups(χ2 =41. 12 and 37. 13,P<0. 01). There were not statistical differences between gender groups (χ2 =0. 51,1. 77,0. 36 and 2. 12,P>0. 05).

In order to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of cefotiam hexetil hydrochloride tablet in Chinese healthy volunteers, a sensitive, specific and rapidprotein precipitation-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated in human plasma. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Waters Symmtry-C18 column (50 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm), using a gradient mobile phase consisting of methanol and 1 mmol/ L ammonium acetate in water at a flow rate of 1. 0 mL/ min. Cefotiam and diazepam (internal standard) were detected without interference in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode with positive electrospray ionization. The calibration curve was linear from 5. 0 ng / mL to 5000 ng / mL (r>0. 99) with limit of quantitation of 5. 0 ng / mL. The assay met the published acceptance criteria. This rapid, sensitive and reproducible method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of cefotiam hexetil hydrochloride tablet in healthy Chinese volunteers and therefore provided a considerable mirror for quantification of other cephalosporins in human matrix.

Background and purpose: miR-210 was closely related to the occurrence and development of gastric cancer, but its mechanism and clinical significance were still not clear. The purpose of this study was to explore the expression of miR-210 in gastric cancer tissues and its clinical significance. Methods: The expression of miR-210 was detected in gastric cancer tissues and the corresponding adjacent tissues. The relationship between the expression of miR-210 and clinical pathological factors and prognosis was analyzed. Results: Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) showed that the expression of miR-210 in gastric cancer was higher than that in adjacent tissues, and there was a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). The expression of miR-210 was closely related to tumor size, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage, but was not related to age, gender, tumor dif-ferentiation and depth of invasion. The 5-year survival rate of patients with low miR-210 expression was 48.2%, where-as the 5-year survival rate of patients with high miR-210 expression was 30.4% (χ2=4.216, P=0.040). Conclusion: The expression of miR-210 in gastric cancer was higher than that in adjacent tissues, and maybe related to the development and prognosis of gastric cancer. miR-210 is expected to be a new diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the clinical features,diagnosis and treatment of appendix tumor.Methods The clinical data of 58 cases with primary appendiceal tumor were analyzed retrospectively.Results In the 58 cases clinical presentation mimicked acute appendicitis in 22 cases,chronic appendicitis in 15 cases,appendiceal abscess in 12 cases,intra-abdominal mass in 7 cases,and gastrointestinal perforation in 2 cases.Primary appendiceal tumor was diagnosed intraoperatively by intraoperative frozen histopathological examination in 10 cases,and the diagnosis was made by postoperative histopathological examination in the other 48 cases.There was appendiceal carcinoid in 40 cases,adenocarcinoma in 6 cases,mucocele in 2 cases,mucous adenocystoadenoma in 5 cases,pseudomyxoma peritonei in 2 cases,malignant neurilemmoma in 1 case,and malignant lymphoma in 2 cases.Surgical procedures included appendectomy in 6 cases,ileocecal resection in 8 cases,and right hemicolectomy in 44 cases (including right hemicolectomy and intraperitoneal chemotherapy with 5-FU 1 000 mg for pseudomyxoma peritonei in 2 cases).Radical resection was achieved in 55 cases and palliative resection in 3 cases.The 2 cases with pseudomyxoma peritonei died of tumor recurrence at 36 months and 54 months after operation respectively.All the 5 cases of adenocystoadenoma and 2 cases of appendix cyst survived without an evidence of recurrence.7 of 49 cases of malignant appendiceal tumor suffered recurrence postoperatively,the recurrence rate was 14％,which included liver metastasis in 4 cases and intraperitoneal recurrence in 3 cases.The 1,3,5-year survival rates of malignant appendiceal tumors were 100％ (49/49),92％ (35/49) and 80％ (39/49),respectively,which were 100％,98％ and 92％ for carcinoid,and 100％,67％ and 33％ for adenocarcinoma,respectively.Conclusions The preoperative diagnosis of primary appendiceal tumor is very difficult,the intraoperative frozen histopathological examination is helpful for diagnosis,the prognosis of appendiceal carcinoid is fair after resection.

Objective To study on transcatheter closure of membranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) with pseudoaneurysm by patent ductus arteriosus(PDA) occlusion devices in children and summarize the skill and clinical experience. Methods The study included 20 membranous VSD cases in children.According to the finding of the left ventricular angiography, various kinds of the PDA occlusion devices was implanted. The mean diameter of the waist of the occluder was ( 10.4 ± 2.6) mm. Examination by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) immediately and left ventricular angiography after the occluder was implanted 15minutes later to evaluate the efficacy. Results In the 20 patients, one of the Ⅳ type VSD patient was quitted because of the significant residual shunts(≥2 mm). Slightly residual shunts ( ＜ 2 mm) was found in one Ⅲ type VSD patient with multi-outlet. And disappeared in 1 month after the procedure, which VSD patient was confirmed by TTE. Thirteen cases were normal by EKG examination (or the same before procedure).Incomplete right bundle branch block was found in 4 cases. First degree atrioventricular block was found in 1 case and paroxysmal junctional tachycardia was found in 1 case. All of them were recovered in 1 week.Conclusions Transcatheter interventional therapy with PDA occlusion devices for membranous VSD with pseudoaneurysm is safe and effective. The key of the procedure is to select suitable occluder and suitable position to plant them according to the membranous morphologic characteristics,size and position of the pseudoaneurysm. It is a facultative method for transcatheter therapy this kind of congenital heart disease.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of atorvastatin with different doses on related indicators and major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). METHODS:120 patients with AMI after PCI were randomly divided into conventional dose group(60 cases)and high dose group (60 cases). All patients were immediately given low molecular weight heparin,Aspirin enteric-coated tablet,Clopidogrel bisulfate tablet,Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor,β-blockers,nitrates and other conventional treatment;based on it,conventional dose group was given 20 mg Atorvastatin calcium tablet,once every day before bedtime;high dose group was given 40 mg Atorv-astatin calcium tablet,once every day before bedtime. The treatment course for both groups was 1 month. Total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),C-reactive protein (CRP),OX40L,interleukin (IL)-6 levels in 2 groups before and after treatment were observed,the correlation among OX40L with CRP and IL-6 were analyzed,and the incidence of MACE in 2 groups was recorded after 1 month follow-up. RESULTS:Be-fore treatment,there were no significant differences in the TG,TC,LDL-C,HDL-C,OX40L,CRP and IL-6 between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment, TG, TC, LDL-C, OX40L, CRP and IL-6 were aignificantly lower than before, TC, LDL-C, OX40L,CRP and IL-6 in high dose group were lower than conventional dose group,HDL-C was significantly higher than before, the differences were statistically significant(P<0.01 or P<0.05);but there was no significant difference in the HDL-C between 2 groups(P>0.05). Before treatment,OX40L showed positive correlation with CRP(r=0.746,P<0.01)and IL-6(r=0.763,P<0.01);after treatment,OX40L also showed positive correlation with CRP (r=0.755,P<0.01) and IL-6 (r=0.760,P<0.01). The incidence of MACE in high dose group were significantly lower than conventional dose group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Based on the conventional treatment,atorvastatin can significantly reduce lipid,inflamma-tion levels and incidence of MACE,but the effect is more significant in high dose.
