OBJECTIVE To investigate clinical status,distribution of the genera,and risk factors of pneumonia caused by fungi in hospitalized senile patients.METHODS The notices of hospitalized senile patients from Jan 2000 to Apr 2003 were analyzed according to Diagnosis Standard of Nosocomial Infection published by National Ministry of Health.RESULTS Totally 135 cases were collected.The isolating ratio of Candida albicans ranked first(54.8%),followed by C.tropicalis(20.0%).The risk factors included underlying diseases,invasive surgical procedure,and prolonged hormones and antibiotics therapy.CONCLUSIONS To prevent and control pneumonia caused by fungi in hospitalized senile patients,the measures such as curing the underlying diseases,reducing invasive surgical procedures,and using antibiotics reasonably should be adopted.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of open decompression drainage on acute pulpitis.Methods Totally 180 acute pulpitis patients hospitalized during January 2012 to September 2014 in our department were selected and randomly divided into control group and observation group (n=80 each).The control group was treated with pulp inactivating agent and the observation group was given open decompression drainage.The clinical effects,analgesia efficiencies at 7d after treatment,treatment course and the complications were compared between the 2 groups.Results There was significant difference in the effective rate between control and observation groups after treatment [61.3％ (49/80 cases) vs.86.3％ (69/80 cases),P＜0.05].The analgesia efficiencies at 7d after treatment was 46.3％ (37/80 cases) in control group and 73.8％ (59/80 cases)in observation group (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in treatment course between two groups [(7.7±1.4) times vvs.(6.1± 1.2) times,P＞0.05]].6 patients developed periapical periodontitis in control group,and only 4 cases in the observation group (P＞0.05).Conclusions Early open decompression drainage has good clinical effects and analgesia efficiencies in treatment of acute pulpitis,which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To investigate the effect of the locking plate fixation with anti-osteoporosis drug in the treatment of older patients with proximal humeral fractures. Methods Sixty-two patients with proximal humeral fractures who were treated in Yuzhou Mining Company Hospital of Kailuan Group of Hebei Province from Feb. 2011 to Oct. 2013 were divided into observation group(n=30)and control group(n=32). Patients in both groups were given locking plate fixation,and patients in the observer group were also received anti-osteoporosis treatment. The information including hospitalization periods,efficacy and bone mineral density of the two groups was recorded. Results The hospitalization periods of the observation group and control group were (6. 9 ± 1. 0)d,(9. 5 ± 1. 1)d,and the difference was statistically significant(t=8. 426,P﹤0. 05). The efficacy in observer group was excellent in 17 cases,good in 10 cases,fair in 2 cases and poor in 1 case,and the efficacy of the control group was excellent in 14 cases,good in 10 cases,fair in 5 cases and poor in 3 cases. The difference was statistically significant(χ2 =4. 617,P ﹤0. 05 ). After the anti-osteoporosis treatment,the bone mineral density of the observer group and control group were( 0. 79 ± 0. 13)g/cm2 and(0. 66 ± 0. 05)g/cm, the difference was statistically significant( t =10. 251,P ﹤0. 05 ). Conclusion The effect of locking plate fixation with anti-osteoporosis drug is better with shorter hospital stay,safe and reliable,and it is worthy of clinical application.

An assessment was made in respect of the accuracy in tumor size (a diagnostic accordance was defined as

Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS),a hot topic worldwide,has made rapid progress with nigh mortality.MODS in pediatrics versus MODS in adults are similar but different.Due to special age-related physiological characteristics.It is difficult to carry out randomized controlled clinical study compared with adults.Diagnosis and treatment of pediatric MODS can only be obtained with reference to adult MODS.This study reviews on the epidemiology,clinical scoring system,pathogenesis,clinical features and treatment of MODS in pediatrics.

Objective To explore the temporal expressions of interleukin-10(IL-10)and interleukin-4(IL-4)and their relationship with the wound age during skin incised wound healing in mice.Methods Immunohistochemical and image-analysis techniques were employed in vital skin wounds 0.5h～168h after incision and postmortem incision 0.5h～6h after death.Results Weak expression of IL-10 was detected at 0.5h after incision,which increased subsequently,and peaked at 3h post-injury.Then decreased to the pre-incision level at 24h,but peaked again at 72h after injury.Immunostaining revealed that epidermal cells and infiltrating mononuclear cells were the major source of IL-10.IL-4-positive cells were observed in the dermis at 24h,and reached the maximum level at 96h,which maintained until 168h post-injury.IL-4 was mainly expressed in the fibroblast-like cells of the granulation tissue and dermis.In addition,faint IL-10-positive cells were merely identified in the epidermal cells in the postmortem incision skin within 1～3h after incision.No IL-4-postitive cells were found in the postmortem incision skin.Conclusion The time-dependent expressions of IL-10 and IL-4 during cutaneous wound healing may be used for the estimation of wound age.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of small incision for total hip arthroplasty on osteoporosis treatment of elder patients with fracture of the femoral neck.Methods Fifty-six elder patients with femoral neck methods were selected as our subjects,who were hospitalize from Jan.2011 to Dec.2013 in Xiahuayuan Meikuang Hospital,Zhangjiakou Company Limited.They were randomly divided into the observation group (26 cases) and control group (30 cases).All patients were treated with small incision total hip arthroplasty.The patients in the observation group were given the alendronate sodium.The curative effect,hospitalization time,bone mineral density were recorded.Results The long-term efficacy of the excellent and good rate of the observation group was 96.2％ (25/26),higher than that in control group(86.6％ (26/30)),and the difference was statistically significant(x2 =4.125,P ＜ 0.05).The length of hospitalized time in observation group was (26 ± 4) d,shorter than that in the control group (35 ± 3) d,and the difference was statistically significant(t =9.102,P ＜ 0.05).The bone density of patients in the observation group was (0.64 ± 0.03) g/cm2,higher than that in control((0.61 ± 0.05) g/cm2),and there was significant difference between two groups (t =8.461,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The effect of small incision total hip arthroplasty combined with anti osteoporosis drugs for the treatment of femoral neck fractures in the elderly is good and worthy of clinical usage.

Objective To identify the metabolites of loganin in rat urine through using ultra high performance liquid chromatography combined with triple TOF mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF/MS/MS) after oral administration of loganin;To summarize the metabolic pathway of loganin. Methods Rats were given a gavage with loganin. The urine samples were prepared by use of solid phase extraction (SPE). The chromatographic separation was performed on an UPLC C18 column with gradient elution program of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid aqueous as mobile phase. Dynamic background subtraction (DBS) technology was employed to trigger information dependent acquisition (IDA) to obtain the characteristic fragment ions of metabolites. Results MetabolitePilot software including several data processing methods were employed to speculate the structures of liganin metabolites and three metabolites were identified. Then, the metabolic pathway of loganin in rats was summarized. Conclusion The analytical method was simple, credible and highly-sensible, which is useful for screening and identifying trace constituents in vivo.

Objective:To investigate the structure of alveolar bone around incisors in patients with verical facial type of skeletal ClassⅡ by CBCT.Methods:60 skeletal Class Ⅱ patients were divided into low angle,average angle and high angle cases(n =20)by FMA.CBCT scanning was made and the thickness of the labial and lingual alveolar bone around the incisors in each subject was meas-ured.The measurements were analyzed using ANOVA.Results:The total width of alveolar bone at the root apical level of maxillary and mandibular incisors,the lingual thickness of alveolar bone at the root midpoint of maxillary incisors and labial thickness of alveolar bone at the root midpoint of mandibular incisors in the high angle cases were thinner than that in the average and low angle cases(P <0.05),but there was no significant difference in labial thickness of alveolar bone at the crest among 3 groups.Conclusion:The alveo-lar bone thickness around incisors of high angle patients is thinner,more attention should be paid for the alveolar bone absorpation and tooth root exposure in these patients.

Objective To explore a method for establishing the hamster model of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD)and the indicators for its evaluation.Methods Clindamycin was administered to hamsters subcutaneously (day 1),and 24 h later infected with C.difficile clinical isolates KH1 (ribotype 027,106-108 CFU/mL)or SH9 (ribotype 001 ,108-1010 CFU/mL)by gavage.Animals were observed for CDAD symptoms such as diarrhea,weight loss and death.At the end of ob-servation period (day 7 or death),the cecum was collected from each animal for histological evaluation of inflammation.Results Following a single dose of 100 mg/kg clindamycin subcutaneously,all the animals challenged with KH1 (108 CFU/mL)devel-oped diarrhea and then died within 5 days.All the hamsters challenged with SH9 (1010 CFU/mL)developed diarrhea as well but only 66.7% died at the end of observation period.Among other groups,only one or none developed diarrhea and then died. The symptoms of hamsters with diarrhea included loose stool,wet tail and weight loss.On histological examination,conges-tion,hemorrhage and neutrophil infiltration of the mucosa were observed in the hamsters died of CDAD.Conclusions We have successfully established a hamster CDAD model that allows for future investigations.
