Objective To analyze the risk factors and prognosis of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) among hospitalized patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Methods From March 2014 to February 2015,216 first-time hospitalized patients with IBD were enrolled.Once hospitalized,stool samples were obtained for Clostridium difficile culture immediately,and at the same time toxins of Clostridium difficile (tcd) A and tcdB were detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR).The incidence and risk factors of CDI in enrolled patients were analyzed.Chi square test and nonparametric test were performed for statistical analysis.Results Among the 216 IBD patients,there were 73 patients with ulcerative colitis(UC) and 143 patients with Crohn's disease(CD).The positive rate of CDI was 13.9 ％ (30/216) in IBD patients.The positive rate of CDI was 24.7 ％ (18/73) in UC patients,which was higher than that of CD patients (8.4％,12/143),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =10.690,P＜0.01).As the severity of the disease increased,the rate of CDI positive patients in UC patients increased.Among three patients at remission period,17 patients at mild active stage,23 patients at moderate active stage and 30 patients at severe active stage,the CDI positive patients were zero,two,five,11,respectively,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =4.820,P=0.028).In UC patients,the incidences of patients with hospitalization history in other hospitals within three months before admission in CDI positive group and negative group were 6/18 and 7.3％ (4/55),respectively,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =5.740,P=0.020).In 30 days before admission,the rates of patients with proton pump inhibitor (PPI) taking history of two groups were 7/18 and 7.3％ (4/55),and the difference was statistically significant (x2=8.270,P=0.004).The length of hospital stay in CDI negative UC patients was 7.0 d (5.0 d,12.0 d),which was shorter than that of CDI positive patients (10.5 d (8.8 d,18.2 d)),and the difference was statistically significant (U=277.000,P=0.005).The rate of patients underwent intestinal operation in CDI negative CD patients within three months after CDI examination was 10.7 ％ (14/131),which was significantly lower than that of CDI positive patients (5/12) (x2 =4.520,P=0.010).Conclusions The incidence of CDI in hospitalized IBD patients was high,especially in UC patients;the risk factors included disease severity,prior hospitalization history within three months before admission and PPI taking history within 30 days before admission.CDI was correlated with poor prognosis.

With citric acid as carbon source and different amino acids as nitrogen source,the nitrogen-doped carbon was synthesized by one-step hydrothermal method under the condition of no catalyst.The pre-experiments show that arginine-doped carbon dots(CDs-Arg) with relatively high fluorescence quantum yield (33.25％) were picked out for further study.Furthermore,we studied the physical and chemical properties of CDs-Arg through a series of spectral,electric potential,particle size,X ray and elemental analysis experiments.At the same time,the stabilities of the nanoparticles towards different pH,temperatures,excitation lasers or redox conditions were studied.And the MTr and in vivo distribution experiments were also conducted for the toxicity and metabolism studies.The experimental results showed that the arginine doped carbon dots has high fluorescence efficiency,good stability,and extremely low toxicity.And the water-soluble small particles of CDs-Arg nanoparticles showed that the nanoparticles can be excreted through the glomerulus.These results show that the CDs-Arg Nanoparticles are biocompatible nanoparticles and have potential applications in biological imaging and can serve as a monitor of drug metabolism.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of dynamic analysis of plasma brain natriuretic peptide in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy with chronic heart failure.Methods:Ninety patients with dilated cardiomyopathy with chronic heart failure admitted into our hospital firom March 2012 to March 2016 were divided into group A (20 cases),group B (38 cases),and group C (32 cases) according to the NYHA grading.The plasma BNP levels and LVEF,LA,LVEDD,and LVESD in the three groups were detected and compared.The correlation of plasma BNP and cardiac function and ultrasonic cardiogram indexes were analyzed.And the capability of plasma BNP and LVEF in diagnosis of patients were analyzed and compared.Results:The plasma BNP level in group C was markedly higher than that of group A and group B (P＜0.05),and that in group B was much higher than that of group A (P＜0.05).And LA in group C was significantly higher than that of group A (P＜0.05),while differences in LVEF,LVEDD,and LVESD were not obvious (P＞0.05).The plasma BNP was positively correlated to NYHA grading,but had no significant correlation with the LVEF,LVEDD,LVESD,and LA (P＞0.05).Based on results of receiver operating characteristic curve analysis,plasma BNP =523.5 pg/mL was the threshold value for identification of patients with NYHA Ⅲ and Ⅳ (AUC=0.901,P＜0.001),while LVEF had not the capability (AUC=0.392,P=0.276).Conclusion:Detection of plasma BNP level had important clinical significance on diagnosis,screening and cardiac functional grading of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy with chronic heart failure.

This study is designed to obtain recombinant human acetylcholinesterase (rhAChE) and apply it in screening acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. The rhAChE was overexpressed in HEK293 cells transfected by plasmid of pCMV-AChE with the cationic liposome and rhAChE was found to be secreted into cell culture medium. AChE activity was assayed according to modified Ellman method to obtain kinetic parameters. IC so50 values for donepezil compounds of rhAChE were calculated to determine their activities of inhibition. The results showed that Km value was 151.9 micromol.L-1 donepezil inhibited rhAChE in a mixed competitive-noncompetitive way (Ki= 16.03 nmol.L-1, Ki = 18.36 nmol.L-1) and that most new compounds tested exhibited high activities of inhibition on rhAChE. The study suggests that rhAChE is available to be applied in screening AChE inhibitors in vitro.

Objective;To explore the relationship among parents' negative punishment,children's self-concept,and children's social behaviors.Methods;Data were collected from questionnaires given to a sample of 612 children from primary and secondary schools and their parents.Results;The structural equation modeling results showed parents' negative punishments could influence children's social behaviors directly and indirectly.In the indirect approach,through the mediating role of children's self-concept,parents' negative punishments could make a negative role on children's pro-social and aggressive behaviors,and a positive role on children's withdrawn behavior.In the direct approach,parents' negative punishments could make a positive effect on children's pro-social,aggressive and withdrawn behavior directly.Conclusion;Children's self-concept plays a mediating role between the relationship of parents' negative punishments and children's social behaviors.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of modulated medium frequency current therapy (MMFCT) combined with infrared therapy on patients of acute facial neuritis. Methods A total of forty-six patients with acute facial neuritis were divided into two groups (observation group and control group) randomly and medially. Every patient received medication. Meanwhile, observation group received MMFCT and infrared therapy. Before the treatment, and after two and four weeks of treatment, Portmann scale were used to evaluate the autonomic movements of the facial expression muscles on both sides. After 4 weeks of treatment, the outcome was evaluated by House-Brackmann facial nerve grading system. Results There were no significant differences in Portmann scales before treatment between two groups. Portmann scales were higher in observation group than those of control group after two and four weeks of treatment (P<0.05). With the duration of treatment, Portmann scales were increased successively in two groups. The significant difference was found in multiple comparisons between groups. After 4 weeks of treatment, the efficacy was significant in the observation group, compared with control group, the difference was significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Modulated medium frequency current therapy combined with infrared therapy have a better effect than isolated medication.

Objective To observe the effect of the 8-word bandage on the walking ability of stroke patients with knee hyperextension. Methods Fifty patients with stroke combined with knee hyperextension were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 25 cases in each group. The control group was treated with conventional methods, including Bobath technology, Brunnstrom therapy and motor relearning primarily rehabilitation training. In addition to the conventional methods, patients in the observation group used 8-word bandage to fix knee joint in walking training. Before and after 8 weeks of treatment, Holden walking function classification, 10-meter maximum walking speed and improved Barthel index were adopted to evaluate the walking ability, maximum walking speed and the life ability of the patients. Results There were no significant differences in the scores before treatment between the two groups. The Holden walking function classification, the 10-meter maximum walking speed and the Barthel index scores were significantly improved after 8-week treatment in both two groups (P<0.05), and patient conditions were more significantly improved in the observation group than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Using 8-word bandage to fix knee joint can significantly improve knee hyperextension in patients with stroke, so as to improve the walking ability and activities of daily living.

Objective To investigate the effects of ARHI transfection on the chemokines and receptors related gene expression profile of PANC1 cells.Methods Plasmids expressing ARHI and empty plasmid were transfected into PANC1 cells, and the stably expressed cell lines were established by using G418.mRNA expression of chemokines and receptors related genes was detected by PCR Array.Real-time PCR was used to detect mRNA expression of the genes related vascular growth.Results In cells transfected with ARHI gene, the expression levels of mRNA of 36 genes were down-regulated, and 9 were up-regulated.Among the genes related to tumor metastasis and invasion CXCL12 and CXCR4 were significantly down-regulated (<-6 folds), and MMP-2 was slightly down-regulated (<-2 folds).Among the genes related to tumor angiogenesis, pro-angiogenesis genes including CCL2, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL8, CXCL12 and CXCR4 were significantly down-regulated, and pro-angiogenesis genes including CXCL3, CCR1 and CCR2 was slightly down-regulated.Anti-angiogenesis genes including CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11 and CXCR3 were significantly up-regulated (>6 folds).Among the genes related to the localization of distant organ infiltration and latency, CXCL12, CXCR4 and CCR7 were significantly down-regulated,and CXCR5 was slightly down-regulated.Among the gene with tumor immunity,CXCL8,CXCR1 and CCR7 were significantly down-regulated.Gene expression of CXCL1,CXCL8,CXCR4 and CXCR3 detected by Real-time PCR were consistent with PCR array.Conclusions ARHI gene inhibits the expression of chemokines and receptors related to tumor metastasis,angiogenesis and tumor immunity.

Objective To evaluate the cause of ischemia related to myocardial bridge (MB) by using SPECT/CT MPI and CTCA.Methods A total of 294 patients with chest pain,tightness or palpitation undergoing both CTCA and MPI were retrospectively enrolled in this study from March 2008 to March 2013.Among them,49 patients (26 males,23 females,age:32-85 (55.4± 16.6) years) had MB.Locations of MB and myocardial ischemia were recorded.Fused MPI/CTCA was analyzed.If there was no mural atherosclerotic plaque-related stenosis on CAG at the same location of coronary artery where ischemic myocardium was found,then MB was considered as the ischemic cause.Myocardial ischemia rates of different MB locations were compared by x2 test.Results Among 49 patients with MB,3 cases had MB in proximal segment of LAD,34 in mid LAD,4 in distal LAD,3 in septal branch,2 in distal LCX,1 in intermedius,and 2 in mid RCA.There were 41 cases with myocardial ischemia.Myocardial ischemia in 32 cases was caused by MB,including 23 caused by MB in mid LAD.The myocardial ischemia rates of the most common MB location (mid LAD,n =34) and other locations (n =15) were not significantly different (67.6％ (23/34) vs 60.0％ (9/15),x2 =0.27,P＞0.05).Conclusions MB is commonly found in the mid LAD.The myocardial ischemia rates caused by MB is not related the MB location.Hybrid MPI/CTCA could evaluate the sites of coronary MB and myocardial ischemia simultaneously and therefore may be useful to evaluate the relationship between MB and myocardial ischemia.
