Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication after total joint arthroplasty.Currently,PJI is the main cause for knee revision and the third reason for hip revision.Accurate diagnosis is of quite importance for patients with potential in revision surgery.However,there is no test alone can achieve both perfect sensitivity and specificity in diagnosis of PJI.The following diagnostic methods still have irreplaceable role,including erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),C reactive protein (CRP) test,synovial white blood cell count and polymorphonuclear percentage,bacteria culture and histology analysis.Some novel diagnostic techniques,such as leucocytes esterase strip test,show advantages in diagnosing as fast,convenient and cost-saving.Synovial biomarkers,such as α-defensin,have promising prospect with both high sensitivity and specificity.Among various diagnostic methods,bacteria culture and drug sensitivity test can guide the therapy of PJI.Thus,it is crucial to improve the positive rate of bacteria culture.With the development of technology,sonication and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) will be the future research highlights.Although the imaging technologies,such as labeled leukocyte imaging and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET),have been progressed in the past years,most of them are still in controversy.Further researches are still needed in the future.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and nursing measures of infection in hospital ICU,and to provide the refer-ence for clinical nursing. Methods From January 2010 to June 2013,116 patients with nosocomial infection in surgical ICU were collected as observation group,and 72 patients with nosocomial infection in the surgery were as the control group. The risk factors of nosocomial infec-tion were retrospectively analyzed,and the problems related to nursing were discussed. Results The nosocomial infection rate was 8. 44% in ICU,which was significantly higher than the surgical infection rate(4. 43%) in general ward (P<0. 05). Whether patients in ICU or surgery ward,respiratory and urinary tract infections were the most common site of nosocomial infection. The mortality rate in ICU was 9. 48%,which was higher than that of nosocomial infection in surgical ward (4. 17%),P<0. 05. The nosocomial infections were obviously related to the age of patients,duration of hospitalization,the invasive operation,antibiotic and immunosuppressive agents and disturbance of consciousness in ICU and general wards (P<0. 01). Conclusion The ICU nosocomial infection rate was significantly higher than that in general ward,the main infection sites are respiratory tract and urinary tract,with a variety of factors,the key is to establish the mechanism of prevention and ef-fective nursing strategy.

Objective To investigate the effects of soluble CD40 ligand combined with LY294002,a specific inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase,on proliferation and invasion of gastric cancer cells (AGS ) and its potential mechanisms. Methods The effect of gradient concentration of sCD40L and its combination with LY294002 on cellular proliferation was determined using MTT assay. The ability of cellular invasion and migration was evaluated by wound healing and Transwell invasion assay. The protein expression of PI3K, p-Akt and vascular endothelia growth factor (VEGF) was tested by Western blotting. Results The inhibitory effect of cellular proliferation in sCD40L, LY294002 and sCD40L + LY294002 groups was 70. 1%, 65. 7% and 41. 3%, respectively, with significant difference (P<0. 05). And wound healing was also delayed in cells treated with sCD40L plus LY294002 when compared with those treated with sCD40L or LY294002. These results indicated that the inhibitory effect of cellular proliferation, migration and invasion was enhanced when cells were treated with sCD40L plus LY294002. The protein expression of PI3K,p-Akt and VEGF increased in cells treated with sCD40L, but reduced drastically in cells treated with sCD40L plus LY294002. Conclusion Inhibiting PI3K/Akt signaling pathway may enhance the inhibitory effect of proliferation, migration and invasion by sCD40L on AGS cells, which provide a new way for biochemical therapy of gastric cancer.

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cellcontent is less under normal conditions, and easily confounded with other cells. Therefore, to establish a simple feasible in vitro cultured amplification method and to obtain a large number of stable bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are of important theoretical significance and application value. OBJECTIVE:To establish a simple feasible in vitro culture and amplification method and to obtain numerous stable bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats and cultured in vitro using density gradient centrifugation and adherence separation screening. cellmorphological changes were observed under an inverted light microscope. Submicroscopic structure of cells was observed under a transmission electron microscope. Living cellnumber was counted using Trypan blue exclusion method. cellgrowth curve was drawn. cellcycle was analyzed using flow cytometry. The expression of c-kit and CD45 was measured using immunocytochemistry. CD45 expression was analyzed using flow cytometry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) celladhesion and pseudopodia could be seen under an inverted light microscope at 24 hours after inoculation;cellcolony formed at 4 days;90%cellconfluence was found at 14 days. After passage, the cells were tended to homogenous and became fibroblast-like cells, which showed whirl-like growing or flamboyancy growing. (2) The size of passage 3 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was smal and nucleolus was large, with clear nucleoli under a transmission electron microscope, with the presence of sparse chromatin and low electron density. There was microvil us on the surface of cells, abundant ribosomes could be seen in the cytoplasm with few other cellular organs such as endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and Golgi complex. These showed that ultrastructural structure had undifferentiated features. (3) The number of passage 3 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was reduced at 1 day after inoculation. The cells began to grow at 2 days, and entered the period of exponential growth at 3 days, entered the flat period at 7 days and the number of cells began to decrease at 9 days. Growth curve exhibited“S”shape. (4) The percentage of S phase cells was 21.1%as detected by flow cytometry after passage 3 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were stained by DNA. (5) Immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry had proved that the c-kit positive rate of cells was 53.3%and CD45 positive rate was 1.68%. (6) After osteogenic induction of mesenchymal stem cells for 16 days, cells became oval, and short processes connected each other. The cytoplasm was dark, suggesting that it may be rich in rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex. They can secrete osteoid. Results verified that obtained bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells stably grew, and actively proliferated.
