Objective To detect the changes of serum complement 3(C_3) and C_4 in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE) and its effects on non-specific immunological function.Methods Sixty-seven neonates with HIE and 30 normal full-term infants were recruited in the study.According to characteristic of immunological function and severity of HIE,the neonates were divided into 1-3 day group(n=32)and 4-6 day group(n=35).In each group,it was divided into mild group and moderate-severe group.The complement in serum was detected by radial immunodiffusion assay with Behring Nephelometer 100 Analyzer.Results In 1-3 day group,levels of C_3,C_4 in serum were lower than those in control group(P

0.05).In 4-6 day group:percentages of CD3+ and CD4+ cells and ratio of CD4+/CD8+ in neonates with HIE were all obviously lower than those in control group(P0.05).The level of percentages of CD3+ and CD4+ cells and ratio of CD4+/CD8+ in 9 subjects with moderate-severe HIE were remarkably higher during recovery stage than those during acute stage(P

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Qiliqiangxin capsule combined on refractory heart failure.Methods 60 patients with refractory heart failure were randomly recruited into a control group and a therapeutic group. The control group received the conventional treatment, and the therapeutic group took Qiliqiangxin capsule on the base of the conventional treatment (3 times a day, 4 granules/each time) combined with 120 mg cAMP meglumine. Treatment in both group lasted 14 days. Results: After the treatment, the therapeutic group showed improvement in the symptoms of heart failure. Comparing with the control group, the difference was significant (P＜0.05). Conclusion The therapeutic effect of Qiliqiangxin capsule combined on refractory heart failure is satisfied and can improve the quality obviously.

Objective To improve hand hygiene compliance among healthcare workers (HCWs)in a stomatological hos-pital,and effectively reduce healthcare-associated infection(HAI)rate.Methods According to WHO hand hygiene guide-line and implementation scheme of hand hygiene,a systemic and step by step hand hygiene promotion plan was formulated, the plan was divided into five steps:full alert,baseline investigation,improvement,tracking,and retrospective analysis. Hand hygiene compliance among HCWs before and after the promotion of activities was analyzed and compared. Results Through hand hygiene promotion activities,the questionnaires showed that average score of knowledge about hand hygiene among HCWs enhanced from 58.33 to 77.40 (increased by 32.69%);the average hand hygiene compliance rate increased from 24.28%(59/243)to 49.81%(133/267),the difference was significant(χ2 =35.331,P =0.000);hand hy-giene status at five moments for hand hygiene improved markedly.Conclusion Hand hygiene promotion has a significant in-fluence in hand hygiene among HCWs in this stomatological hospital.

AIM: To observe the effect of combined goniosynechialysis in treating absolute glaucoma after trabeculectomy.
METHODS:Phacoemulsification combined goniosynechialysis was performed on 16 patients ( 16 eyes ) with absolute glaucoma after trabeculectomy, and they were followed up for 6 ~12mo, The postoperative intraocular pressure ( IOP ) and anterior chamber depth, preoperative and postoperative medication types (quantity), preoperative and postoperative 1 month's status of anxiety and depression, symptoms of ocular surface were observed. RESULTS: The IOP decreased significantly after phacoemulsification combined goniosynechialysis. The mean IOP was 35. 00±15. 43mmHg preoperatively, and it was 12. 00±6. 69mmHg, 15. 00±4. 26mmHg and 15. 3±5.2mmHg on 1d, 6 and 12mo after the surgery. The statistic difference was found between preoperative and postoperative (t=6. 22, P<0. 05). The anterior chamber depth was 1. 45 ± 0. 19mm before the surgery, and increased to 3. 37±0. 13mm after the surgery (t=6. 65, P<0. 05). After the surgery, 2 patients needed two kinds of drugs, 2 patients needed one kind of drug. After 12mo of follow-up, anxiety and depression status were improved in all 16 patients. Subjective discomfort symptoms of 16 patients such as eye bilges, eye pain were relieved. All of the patients' eyeballs were preserved, and no serious complications.
CONCLUSION: Phacoemulsification combined goniosynechialysis in treating absolute glaucoma after trabeculectomy is a safe and effective surgical option.

Background Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common microvascular complications of the retina,retinal vascular smooth muscle cells of large conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (BK) is a major factor in regulating vasomotor and hemodynamic.Currently,functional changes of BK channel in retinal artery smooth muscle cells (RASMCs) and its role in DR were rarely reported.Objective This study was to investigate the early vascular damage mechanisms in DR by detecting the changes of BK channels current,calcium concentration and open probability (NP0) of BK channel with different calcium concentration in RASMCs of normal and diabetic rats.Method Fifty SPF SD 8-12 weeks old rats were randomly divided into normal control group and diabetic model group.Forty diabetic rats was intraperitoneally injected with 60 mg/kg streptozotocin to form type 1 diabetic model,10 rats (the normal control group) were injected sodium citrate solution with the same manner.Fluorescent probe was applied to detect calcium concentration in rat RASMCs;RASMCs were isolated by using enzyme digestion,and BK-channel electric currents and calcium concentrations in the RASMCs were measured by whole-cell patch clamp technique and fluorescence assay,respectively.The NP0 of BK channel was measured by single patch clamp technique.Results Diabetic models were successfully established in 36 rats with the success rate 90％.When stimulation voltage is greater than 60 mV,the current density of BK channel in RASMCs of diabetic model group decreased;when stimulating voltage was 100 mV,the BK channel currents of RASMCs in the normal control group and diabetic model group were (100±23) PA/PF and (50 ± 7) PA/PF,the difference was statistically significant (t =19.80,P ＜ 0.05).After adding specific BK channel blocker African scorpion toxin 100 nmol,the BK channel current in the normal control group significantly reduced,and that in the diabetes model group was not significantly changed;the calcium ion concentrations in RASMCs were (123±11)nmol/L and (255± 10)nmol/L in the normal control group and diabetic model group,the difference was statistically significant (t =32.50,P＜0.05).When stimulation voltage was 60 mV,with increasing calcium ion concentration,the NP0 of BK channel increased (F =15.28,P＜0.05).Conclusions The electric current and NP0 of BK-channel are obviously reduced and the calcium concentration is evidently elevated in RASMCs of diabetic rats,suggesting that the abnormal of BK-channel is probably one of the important causes of retinal artery abnormal contraction in diabetic rats.
