OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the rational clinical prophylactic use of antibiotics. METHODS:The cases in whom the clinical prophylactic use of antibiotics between 2006 and 2007 in our hospital showed failure in efficacy were monitored to analyze the cause of failure,meanwhile the clinical samples were sent for culture,isolation,identification and drug susceptibility tests as well as drug resistance analysis. RESULTS:Cephalosporins,Quinolones,Penicillins,Cefhalosporins + enzyme inhibitor were more commonly used antibiotics in our hospital,with drug resistance rates at 57.21%,65.14%,68.63%,and 18.81% respectively. Among the total 240 cases monitored,the prophylactic use of antibiotics totaled 877 times,of which,388 (44.24%) were non-indicated drug use,459 (52.34%) showed drug resistance,286 (32.61%) involved improper drug choice,and 42 (17.50%) showed dual infection. CONCLUSION:The clinical prophylactic use of antibiotics in our hospital is far from perfect; therefore,it is urgent to tighten control on the standard prophylactic use of antibiotics.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of speech therapy on mental health of patients with aphasia. MethodsCRRCAE and SCL-90 were used to assess the speech and mental state in 28 aphasia patients. All aphasia patients were treated by using speech therapy and the changes before and after treatment were compared. ResultsThe scores in listening comprehension, repetition, naming, reading,reading comprehension, writing and counting were distinctly higher at post-treatment than that at pre-treatment. All SCL-90 factor's levels at post-treatment were distinctly reduced than that at preat post-treatment(P<0.01).Conclusions Speech therapy can improve the language function,as well as mitigate the mental symptoms.

ObjectiveTo study the effects of rehabilitation training on the expression of brain derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) around the cerebral infarcted area of rats.Methods60 SD rats were randomly divided into rehabilitation group and immobilization group 24 hours after cerebral infarction.The rehabilitation group were given water maze training,rotating bar and rolling cage exercises everyday while the immobilization group were fixed in cages. Histochemistry was used to detect the BDNF expression around the cerebral infarcted area at the 1st,3rd,7th,10th and 14th day after infarction respectively.ResultsAt 1st day after the infarction, the expression of BDNF increased obviously around the infarcted area in both group. More BDNF positive neurons were found in the rehabilitation group than that in the immobilization group at 3rd day (P<0.01). BDNF positive astrocytes showed obvious increasing in both group. BDNF positive neurons decreased with time going, and the color became lighter at the same time .At the 7th day after infarction, there were only a few positive neurons, and seldom obvious positive neurons could be seen around the infarcted area at 10th and 14th day. Great deal of BDNF positive astrocytes were found at 3rd,7th,10th and 14th day, and the rehabilitation group showed more expression than that of the immobilization group(P<0.01).ConclusionsThe rehabilitation training may increase the expression of BDNF which might take an active part in the recovery of the central nervous system injury and the rebuilding of its function.

Reflex tests are ordered when a particular test result indicates that additional testing should be performed according to the guidelines or the feedback process formulated by clinical consultation. The application scope of the reflex tests involves various subspecialties of laboratory medicine. The clinical application needs the support of qualified laboratory doctors, comprehensive information and financial system, clinical guidelines, and so on. Active application of reflex tests can promote the standardization of evidence-based medicine in clinical practice, save medical resources, and shorten the diagnosis and treatment time of patients.

Objective To verify the targeting regulatory relationship between microRNA -939 (miR -939) and CD2 -associated protein (CD2AP).Methods The online RegRNA software was used to predict the human CD2AP promoter for potential binding sites complementary to miR -939.HEK -293T cells were cotransfected with hu-man CD2AP promoter plasmid pGL3 -2K and microRNA negative control (miR -NC)or miR -939 mimics,and the relative luciferase activity(RLA)was detected at 24 h post -transfection.HEK -293T cells were transfected with miR -NC or miR -939 mimics for 48 h,and the CD2AP mRNA expression level was detected by adopting reverse tran-script and real -time fluorescence quantification -PCR,while the CD2AP protein expression level was detected by using Western blot.Results (1 )There were 2 miR -939 binding sites at CD2AP promoter region,located at -468 to -491 and -654 to -677 upstream of initiation codon ATG (marked as +1 )relatively.(2)At 30 nmol/L,50 nmol/L,the RLA in miR -NC group and miR -939 group were 6.81 ±0.88 vs 6.07 ±2.24,5.88 ±1 .44 vs 3.94 ± 0.79 relatively,and there were no significant differences between the 2 groups (t =3.04,2.06,all P >0.05),while the RLA between the 2 groups were 5.58 ±0.58 vs 3.29 ±0.64 at 1 00 nmol/L,and the difference was significant between the 2 groups(t =4.07,P <0.05).(3)At 30 nmol/L,50 nmol/L and 100 nmol/L,the relative CD2AP mRNA expression in miR -NC group and miR -939 group were 1 .00 ±0.01 vs 0.80 ±0.08,1 .00 ±0.00 vs 0.80 ±0.1 3 and 1 .00 ± 0.00 vs 0.72 ±0.07 relatively,while the CD2AP mRNA expression was decreased by 20% -30% at each concentration level,and there were significant differences between the 2 groups (t =4.44,2.93,6.84,all P <0.05).(4)At 50 nmol/L, the relative CD2AP protein expression in miR -NC group and miR -939 group were 0.48 ±0.09 vs 0.19 ±0.12,and the CD2AP protein expression was decreased,and the difference was significant (t =3.36,P <0.05).Conclusions CD2AP is the target gene of miR -939,and miR -939 can down -regulate the expression of CD2AP both in mRNA and protein levels by targeting its promoter region,which indicates that miR -939 may mediate the podocyte injury.

AIM: To investigate the effect of Chinese herbs, Ganxianfang(GXF), on rat hepatic stellate cells (HSC) proliferation and collagen synthesis. METHODS: Two types of herb serum, portal venous serum and circumferential venous serum, were prepared from rats infused intragastrically with 16,8,4 times adult dose of GXF decoction. HSC isolated from rat liver were processed with the above sera in vitro . Then we mensurated the radioactivity of HSC admixed with [ 3H]proline and [ 3H]thymine to judge the effect on proliferation and collagen synthesis of HSC. RESULTS: Both two types of serum collected 0 5, 1, 2 h after intragastrical infusion inhibited HSC proliferation ( P 0 05). CONCLUSION: Inhibition of HSC proliferation and decrease of collagen synthesis may contribute to the GXF antifibrotic action.

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics and diagnosis and treatment of hemangioma of small intestine in children.Methods Location,pathology,clinical manifestation,diagnosis and treatment of 3 cases from our hospital and 44 cases reported in our courtry with hemangioma of the small bowel were analyzed from 1994 to 2004.Results These tumors locating in jejunum,ileum,duodenum as well as parts small intestine were 31.9%,42.6%,4.2% and 21.3%,respectively.Solitary and multiple tumors were 29.8% and 70.2% separately.The histopatholical report of 10 cases revealed that capillary,cavernous,mixed type hemangioma and hematolymphangioma were 2,6,1 and 1 cases,respectively.Thirty nine children presented with recurrent black stool.Five patients manifest in the form of intussusception.One child passed a bloody stool so massive as to cause shock.Small-bowel obstruction occurred in 5 cases.The hemoglobin of 38 patients were lower than 90 g/L.The incidence of preoperative diagnosis was only 10.6%.All of patients were performed operation.Conclusions The frequent locations of hemangioma of small intestine are in ileum and jejunum,and multiple tumors are common.The diseases are characterized as recurrent hematochezia with painlessness.Preoperative diagnosis of a small bowel hemangioma can be very difficult.The segments of small bowel with hemangioma resection are the most method of the treatment.

Objective To detect the impact of reactive oxygen species ( ROS) on mitochondrial morphology and distri-bution during mitosis.Methods A viral vector in which the fluorescence gene was specifically under the control of mito-chondrial promoter was constructed and confirmed through DNA sequencing and Western blotting.After transfecting HeLa s3 cell with packaged virus, the HeLa s3-COX4tp-EGFP cell line stably expressing the mitochondrial fluorescence signal was obtained.With immunofluorescent staining, the impact of ROS on the morphology and distribution of mitochondria dur-ing mitosis was inspected.Result The cell line constantly expressing mitochondrial fluorescence signals was successfully constructed.Meanwhile,it was found that H2 O2 treatment could significantly change the morphology and distribution of mi-tochondria during mitosis by confocal microscopy.Conclusion Our study demonstrates that ROS can affect the morphology and distribution of mitochondria during mitosis.This research help study the relationship between the mitochondrial function and the regulation of mitosis in the future.
