Objective To discuss the risk factors and nursing intervention of multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) infection in patients of traditional Chinese medicine hospital (TCM). Methods By investigating the patients admitted to Beijing Xuan Wu Hospital of Traditional Chinese medicine from June 2015 to June 2016, 756 patients of them who were confirmed with clinical diagnosis of infection and pathogen detection with positive, which were divided into MDRO group including 97cases and non-MDRO group including 659 cases, then the pathogens of MRDO infection species and distributionwere counted, and analyzed risk factors for infection. Results A total of 756 cases were detected positive strains 816 strains, including 611 strains of monitoring target strains, 116 strains of MRDO. The top three were methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aurous 30.17%(35/116), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 18.97% (22/116) and Klebsiella pneumonia 18.10% (21/116). Single factor analysis results showed that the patients' age, hospitalization days, the history of other hospital admission, invasive procedure, basic chronic disease (diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, lung disease) and combined use of antibiotics were MDRO infection risk factors (χ2=9.470-198.609, P < 0.01); multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors of MDRO infection were the history of other hospital admission (OR=2.085, 95%CI1.040-4.179), invasive procedure (OR=3.063,95% CI1.526- 6.150), diabetes (OR=2.037,95% CI1.070- 3.877), cerebrovascular disease (OR=4.349,95%CI 2.035-9.293)and combined use of antibiotics (OR=18.723,95% CI9.202-38.094). Conclusions Patients of TCM have many characteristics, such as with more basic diseases, longer length of stay, elder and so on. So we should be alert to the risk of MDRO infection and take nursing interventions to prevent and strengthen the isolation prevention.

Induced the mouse embryonic stem(ES)cells into neural cells on silk fibroin via the improved 4-/4+ RA method to explore the effect of the silk fibroin to the ES-derived neurons' growth,adherence and differentiation.Suspended the ES cells into EBs and then transferred them to three different substrates-coated 35 mm dishes including gelatin,Bombyx mori silk fibroin(SF) and Tussah silk fibroin(TSF) to identify the adherence and proportion of ES cells-derived neurons under these three substrates.The results showed that the EBs adhered to the gelatin and TSF are faster than to the SF.The average adhesive rate on gelatin and TSF are 90.3% and 84.4% respectively,and only 38.5% on SF,all the proportion of ?-Ⅲ-Tubulin positive cells is approximately 40%.It may provide important experimental information for tissue engineering,in which ES cells-derived neuron cells and silk fibroin materials are scaffolds,and also offer a source for cell therapy research of neurodegenerative disease.

AIMTo explore whether dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus (DMH) is involved in the cardiovascular responses induced by habenular nucleus (Hb) stimulation and inhibitory effect of deep peroneal nerve (DPN) stimulation on above responses or not and to analysis transmitter mechanism.

METHODSExperiments were performed on white male rabbits anesthetised with chloralose and urethan. Experimental data were collected by means of stimulating Hb and DPN, recording arterial blood pressure and ectal electrocardiogram (EECG) and microinjecting transmitter blocker.

RESULTSProminent pressor and ischemic EECG segment changes were elicited by Hb stimulation (P < 0.01) Microinjecting kynurenic acid into ipsilateral DMH had partial blocking effect on pressor and ischemic EECG-ST segment changes induced by Hb stimulation (P < 0.01). Stimulation of bilateral DPN prominently inhibited the pressor and ischemic EECG-ST changes induced by Hb stimulation (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). Microinjecting naloxone into ipsilateral DMH decreased the inhibitory effect of DPN stimulation on above cardiovascular responses elicited by Hb stimulation (P < 0.01, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONGlutamic acid receptor in DMH is involved in pressor and ischemic changes induced by Hb stimulation. DMH and opiate peptide receptors in DMH are involved in the inhibitory effect of DPN stimulation on pressor and ischemic changes induced by Hb stimulation.

AIMTo investigate the effect of selective H3 receptor agonist(R)-alpha-methylhistamine and antagonist thioperamide on the respiratory response in asthmatic guinea pigs respectively.

METHODSAnesthesized guinea pigs were prepared with a implanted intracerebroventricular (icv) cannula and instrumented for the measurement of respiratory rate (RR) and diaphragmatic electric activity (DA). Substance P-like immunoreactive (SP-LI) substances in lower respiratory tract were detected by immunohistochemical method. Brain histamine contents were measured by fluorometric determination.

RESULTS(1) Intravenous injection of ovalbumin caused tachypnea and significant decrease in DA magnitude. At the same time, SP-LI substances increased in trachea, bronchus and lung. (2) Administration of selective H3 receptor agonist (R)-alpha-methylhistamine (5 microg) icv immediately after i.v. ovalbumin could significantly ameliorate the changes in RR and DA induced by ovalbumin. In accordance, SP-LI substances in lower respiratory tract markedly decreased at 5 min and 10 min after (R)-alpha-methylhistamine microinjection. (3) Icv thioperamide (20 microg) caused a significant increase in RR and a decrease in DA. (4) Brain histamine contents increased in hypothalamus and cortex during asthma. After microinjection of thioperamide (20 microg) icv significant increase of histamine contents in hypothalamus and cortex was observed.

CONCLUSIONBrain histamine H3 receptors may be related to asthmatic respiratory responses.

Objective To investigate the effect of solute cartier organic anion transporter family, member 1B1 (SLCOIBI) gene variants on the response to therapy with repaglinide in type 2 diabetes. Methods 100 newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients were treated with repaglinide during a course of 48 weeks. Anthropometrie parameters and indices related to glucose metabolism were measured periodically. Genotypes of SLCO1B1 D130N and V174A were detected by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and sequencing respectively. Results Eighty-nine patients accomplished the 48-week follow-up visits. D130N variant in SLCO1B1 gene was associated with repaglinide treatment, DD genotype had better HbA1C lowering effect than N allele carrier [△HbA1C: (-2.29±0.23) % vs (-1.49±0.21)%, P<0.05]. No association was detected between D130N and the other effects of repaglinide on glucose metabolism related phenotypes. Conclusion D130N variant in SLCO1B1 gene is associated with the response to repaglinide treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes. DD homozygotes had a better effect than N allele carriers.

Objective:To research the clinical effects of ulinastatin in the treatment of sepsis induced acute renal injury and its possible mechanisms.Methods:114 cases of patients with sepsis induced acute kidney injury from 2014.02 ～ 2016.08 were selected and randomly divided into the control group (n=57) and experimental group (n=57) according to the draw method,the control group was given conventional treatment,while the experimental group was treated by ulinastatin based on the control group,the urine urinary injury molecule-1 (KIM-1),atrialnatriuretic peptide (ANP),cyscatin-c (CYS-C),interleukin l,6 (IL-1,IL-6),c-reactive protein (CRP),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),nitric oxide (NO),endothelin 1 (ET-1),immunoglobulin A,G,M (IgA,IgG,IgM) levels,APACHE-Ⅱ score were compared between two groups before and after the treatment.Results:After treatmented,the urine of KIM-1,ANP,serum of CYS-C,IL-l,IL-6,CRP,TNF-α,ET-1 levels and APACHE-Ⅱ score of experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P＜0.05).The serum NO,IgA,IgG,IgM levels of experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Ulinastatin could significantly relieve sepsis induced acute renal injury,which might be related to the inhibition of inflammatory response,improvement of the renal blood flow and immune function.

Objective To investigate the effect of hydrogen sulfide(H2S)on gene expression of adenosine triphosphate(ATP)-sensitive K+ channel(KATP)of aortic smooth muscle cells(ASMC)in rat.Methods Male Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were used in the study.The original generation cells were obtained by modified tissue piece inoculation.The passaged cells were used.The ASMC were divided into 2 groups:H2S group of different dosages and control group.The contents of sodium hydrosulfide in the culture media of H2S group were 10-5,10-4 and 10-3 mol/L respectively,and the same volume of normal saline was added to control group.Each group was treated for 24 hours.Morphology of the cells was observed by inverted microscope and identified by immunohistochemical method employing ?-smooth muscle-actin.The expressions of SUR2B and Kir6.1 were identified by immunohistochemical SP technology.The SUR2B mRNA and Kir6.1 mRNA levels were assayed by real time fluorescence relative quantitative polymerase chain reaction.Results The passaged cells developed typical growth pattern peak and valley and the 97th percent of the cells expressed the smooth muscle specific differentiation marker ?-smooth muscle-actin.SUR2B and Kir6.1 could be detected in ASMC by immunohistochemical technology.They were both located at cytoplasmic and cytomembrane but not in at nucleus.Compared with control group,SUR2B mRNA and Kir6.1 mRNA levels in H2S groups were higher than those in control group in a dosage-dependent mode.Conclusions H2S can increased the expression KATP channel SUR2B mRNA and Kir6.1 mRNA levels of ASMC.J Appl Clin Pediatr,2009,24(1):21-23

Objective To describe a novel surgical technique for male long-segment urethral stric- ture after pelvic trauma using the intact and pedieled pendulous urethra to replace the bulbar and membra- nous urethra,and then reconstructing anterior urethra.Methods Three patients with long-segment post- traumatic bulbar and membranous urethral strictures with short left pendulous urethras who had undergone several failed previous surgeries were treated with staged pendulous-prostatic anastomotic urethroplasty fol- lowed by reconstruction of the anterior urethra.This procedure was divided into 3 stages.The first-stage sur- gery was mobilization of anterior urethra down to the coronary sulcus and then re-routing the prostatic urethra followed by pendulous-prostatic anastomotic urethroplasty with transposition of penis to perineum.The sec- ond-stage surgery was transecting the anterior urethra at the site of coronary sulcus 6 months later when it was re-vaseularized,then straightening the penis and performing urethroperineostomy.The third-stage surgery was reconstruction of anterior urethra 6 months later.Results Case 1 reported satisfactory voiding postopera- tively.Retrograde urethrography showed that the urethra was patent with no post-voiding residual urine (PVR),and bilateral vesicoureteral reflux almost disappeared.The Qmax was 18.8ml/s,and 18ml/s after the third stage surgery and at 2-year follow-up.Case 2 also had satisfactory voiding.A 22F urethral catheter could smoothly pass through the urethra,and Qmax was 19.5 ml/s with no PVR at 2-year follow-up.Case 3 underwent the first stage surgery through perineal and pubic routes.The urethrorectal and urethroperineal fis- tulas were excised and repaired simultaneously.After operation the fistulas healed,but the stenostomia resul- ting from wound infection needed further treatment.Conclusions This procedure is effective for men with complex long-segment post-traumatic bulbar and membranous urethral strictures,especially for those undergo- ing failed previous surgical treatment.
