The similar(coefficients) of 2 isolates among the 7 ECO isolates from the gastroenterology ward and 2(isolates)(among) the 18 ECO isolates from the respiratory ward were more than 90%.The isolates whose similarity was more than 90% were also found in other wards.CONCLUSIONS There are vertical disseminations of single clone of ESBL-producing organisms in several wards,especially in the ICU.It is necessary to strengthen the management of(infection)-control.

0.05). In the fever experiment,the two kinds of HJD in different doses showed antipyretic effect to various degrees,but the dispensing granule decoction of HJD had the better effect,and the effect in the middle-and high-dose groups was superior to that of the low-dose groups (P

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical effect of Ziyin Huoxue Granule (ZHG) combined glucocorticoids and antibiotics in treatment of radiation pneumonitis.

METHODSTotally 70 radiation pneumonitis patients were assigned to the treatment group and the control group according to random digit table, 35 in each group. All patients received glucocorticoids and antibiotics. Patients in the treatment group additionally took ZHG, one dose per day for 4 successive weeks. Watters clinical-radiologic-physiologic (CRP) score, Karnofsky Performance Status Scale (KPS) , and acute radiation injury classification [set by Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG)] were observed in the two groups before and after treatment. The application time for antibiotics and glucocorticoids was compared between the two groups.

RESULTSAll patients completed this trial, and nobody dropped out or died. There was no statistical difference in Watters-CRP scores, KPS, or RTOG between the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05). Compared with before treatment in the same group, RTOG classification was obviously improved in the two groups (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, Watters-CRP scores decreased, KPS increased, the application time for antibiotics and glucocorticoids was reduced (P < 0.05). The efficacy of RTOG classification was better in the treatment group than in the control group, but with no statistical difference between the two groups (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONZHG combined glucocorticoids and antibiotics was superior in treating radiation pneumonitis to using glucocorticoids or antibiotics alone in elevating Watters-CRP scores, shortening the application time for glucocorticoids and antibiotics, and improving patients' physical conditions.

Abstract: Objective To investigate the impact of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection on the risk of thrombosis in COVID-19 outpatient patients with mild and regular symptoms. Methods Outpatient patients during the SARS-CoV-2 large-scale infection period after the policy adjustment for COVID-19 in Beijing in 2022 were selected as the observation group, and the dynamic zero-clearing period before the policy adjustment and outpatient patients during the 2022/2021/2020 period were taken as the three control groups. The patients with physiological factors that may increase the risk of coagulation, such as thrombotic diseases, malignant tumors, female pregnancy and other physiological factors, were excluded. Pediatric patients under 14 years old were also excluded. Age was expressed as median (interquartile). The changes in blood routine, fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products, and D-Dimer in Beijing outpatient patients were studied with statistical method and data analysis techniques. Results Compared with the control groups, the observation group showed a statistically significant decrease in red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb), and hematocrit (HCT) levels, and an increase in monocytes (MONO) and platelet (PLT) counts, all showed statistically significant differences (P<0.0001). The proportion of fibrinogen degradation product (FDP) and D-Dimer of observation group exceeding the range increased significantly. Compared with the three control groups, the number of outpatient fibrinogen degradation products (FDP) in the observation group of patients aged 50 years and verage number of patients under 50 years old in the observation group with D-Dimer exceeding the threshold increased by more than 48.98%, and the monthly average number of patients with D-Dimer exceeding the threshold in patients aged 50 or older increased by 346%-998%. Conclusions The results of this study suggest that outpatient patients with mild or regular SARS-CoV-2 infection are also at risk for thrombotic events, and monitoring blood coagulation indicators such as D-dimer is recommended to avoid the sudden onset of thrombosis-related fatal complications .

Objective To understand the direct medical expense for surgical patients with splenomegalic advanced schisto?somiasis and its influencing factors,so as to provide evidences for relevant departments to improve the rescue strategy of ad?vanced schistosomiasis. Methods The data about the expenses of patients with splenomegalic advanced schistosomiasis hospi?talized in Xiangyue Hospital affiliated to Hunan Institute of Schistosomiasis Control from January 2010 to August 2014 were col?lected,the hospitalization expense and hospital stays of the patients were analyzed,and the factors influencing the hospital ex?penses were analyzed by the univariate and multi?factor analyses. Results From January 2010 to August 2014,totally 249 cas?es were hospitalized in the hospital,their average hospital stays and hospital expenses were 28.92 d and 18 896.13 Yuan,and both of them were increased year by year. Among all the kinds of expenses,the constitution ratios of the medicine expenses were the highest,and those in the 5 years were all above 44%. The results of the univariate and multi?factor analyses showed that the hospital stays,the amount of intraoperative bleeding,liver function classification,postoperative complications,age,portal hy?pertensive gastropathy were the influencing factors of the hospital expenses. Conclusion Presently,the burden of the direct hospital expenses of the patients with splenomegalic advanced schistosomiasis is still heavy. The government should further im?prove the proportion of the compensation of medical assistance and perfect the medical aid scheme. Meanwhile ,the hospitals should strengthen the management and standardize medical behavior to reduce the hospitalization expenses of the patients.

Objective:To explore the biological function of miR-132 in ovarian cancer and the target. Methods: 22 cases ovarian cancer tissue and non-tumor tissue adjacent were collected,the expression of miR-132 in tumor tissue and non-tumor tissue, normal ovarian epithelial cells and ovarian cancer cell were detected by RT-PCR. The normal ovarian epithelial cells which the expression of miR-132 maximum or minimum were chosen, and they were divided into two groups, respectively with transfection of negative control plasmid ( NC) and miR-132 mimic plasmid. The expression of miR-132 after transfection was detected by RT-PCR,the cell proliferation and cell apoptosis were detected by CCK-8 method and flow cytometry instrument respectively,the expression of Ezrin protein was detected by Western blot. Results:The expression of miR-132 in tumor tissue was significantly lower than the tumor tissue adjacent,the expression of miR-132 in ovarian cancer cell lines was significantly lower than normal ovarian epithelial cells, the differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05). The SKOV3 cell lines was chosed for gene transfection,compared with NC group, transfection with miR-132 mimic plasmid could significantly reduce cell proliferation, increase cell apoptosis, the difference had statistical significance ( P<0. 05 ) . Western blot results showed that up-regulation miR-132 significantly increased the Ezrin protein expression in ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusion: In ovarian cancer, miR-132;inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of ovarian cancer via Ezrin,it may be a tumor suppressor gene.
