Objective:To evaluate the current situation and trend of anti-infection drug usage in 11 hospitals of Shanghai during 2003-2005.Methods:Using the cost ranking approach,we analyzed the anti-infection drug usage in 11 major hospitals of Shanghai during 2003-2005.The drug species,consumption,cost,manufacturer,etc,were analyzed by Excel 2000 software. Results:It was found that the cost of anti-infection drugs in the 11 hospitals occupied 22.65% of the total drug expenditure during 2003-2005 and the expenditure decreased at an annual rate of 4.02%.We also found that 80% of the anti-infection drugs were antibiotics.The consumption of?-lactamase inhibitor valued 44.120 5,73.696 7 and 95.163 0 million Yuan in 2003,2004 and 2005,respectively(with a yearly growth of 46.86%),ranking the 3rd in 2003 and the 2nd in both 2004 and 2005.The consumption of cephalosporins ranked the first during 2003-2005.The top 20 anti-infection drugs occupied nearly 80% of the total consumption;the consumption of sulbactam sodium/cefoperazone raised from the 17th in 2003 to the 5th in 2004 and to the first in 2005.Conclusion:The consumption of anti-infection drugs has been restrained;cephalosporins are still the major drugs in clinical practice;and the consumption of sulbactam sodium/cefoperazone is on the rise year by year.

Objective To investigate the occurrence and influencing factors of early allograft dysfunction (EAD) in patients receiving donation after cardiac death (DCD) liver Transplantation.Methods Forty-five patients received orthotopic liver transplantation in our center during January 2016 and May 2016 were included in this study.Based on the occurrence of EAD,patients were divided into EAD group and non-EAD group.Perioperative data of donors and recipients were collected to analyze the risk factors of EAD and the effect of EAD on the short-term prognosis of patients.Results In 45 patients,the incidence of EAD was 57.8％ (26 cases).During the follow-up period,the mortality of recipients in EAD group and non-EAD group was 15.4％ and 15.8％ respectively,which showed no significant difference.Donor age,preoperative ALT and AST levels,cold ischemia time (CIT) were significantly increased in EAD group than in non-EAD group (43.7 ±2.5 and36.2±2.5,P=0.0409;64.2 ±13.2 and 31.0 ± 5.9,P=0.0407;87.3±16.2 and48.2±6.2,P=0.047 3;629.5 ± 35.2 and 484.6 ± 30.5,P =0.004 0,respectively).Perioperative CRP level in EAD group was significantly higher than in non-EAD group (22.6 ± 5.9 and 4.7 ± 1.1,P =0.012 1).What's more,postoperative platelet level was significantly lower in EAD group than in nonEAD group (73.7 ± 8.0 and 111.7 ±16.0,P =0.0439).However,pre-and post-operative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in recipients showed no significant difference between EAD group and non-EAD groups.Conclusion Older donor age,high levels of preoperative ALT and AST,prolonged cold ischemic time,as well as high level of preoperative CRP and decrease of postoperative platelet level in recipients are risk factors for the occurrence of EAD after liver transplantation.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features of the adult rhabdomyoma (A-RM) in the oral and maxillofacial region.Methods Three cases of A-RM in the oral and maxillofacial region were analyzed for the clinical symptoms,imaging data,pathological features,differential diagnosis,treatment,and prognosis with the literatures review.Results The age arranged from 4 yea~ to 83 years in three A-RM cases.Two cases were male and one case was female.Two cases occurred in the mouth floor and one case in the tongue.Three A-RM cases presented as slowly growing,painless masses clinically.The masses were lobular,red-brown nodules with clear boundary.Histologically,they consisted of densely packed,large,round and polygonal cells with abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm.Cross striations and vacuoles were seen in the cytoplasm.Tumor cells expressed desmin and myoglobin,partially expressed SMA,MyoD1 and S-100 protein.PAS was also positive among tumor cells and could be digested by the diastasum diastace.Conclusion Histological examination is the main diagnostic basis for A-RM.For accurate diagnosis,cross striations and immunohistochemistry for myogenic proteins in cytoplasm are of pivotal importance.Radical resection is the main treatment with generally promising prognosis.

Objective To analyze the expression of dystrophin associated glycoprotein complex (DGC) in Duchnne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in different age groups. Methods The confirmed 24 DMD patients were divided into 3 groups according to their chronological age (children whose age between 1 to 3 were assigned to early childhood group; children whose age between 3 to 6 were assigned to preschool group; children whose age between 6 to 13 were assigned to school-age group). Several proteins from sarcolemmal muscle membrane were analyzed by immunohistocbemistry. Results The primary loss of dystrophin may lead to a secondary or completely deficiency of α-SG, β-SG, γ-SG,δ-SG, β-DG and dysferlin from sarcolemmal muscle membrane in different age groups. The expression of nNOS is completely deficient in the 3 groups, while the expression of caveolin-3 increased. Conclusions The expression of dystrophin related DGC proteins from DMD patients in different age groups showed diversed degrees of deficiency or complete deficiency. The deficiency of these proteins may occur during the embryonic period, while the increased expression of eaveolin-3 may have a relation with the regeneration of skeletal muscle fibers.

In order to provide evidence for evidence-based medicine in the treatment and prognosis of laryngeal cancer in China,the meta-analysis electronically retrieved the case-control studies published in China about the Survivin expression and its association with clinical pathological features in the tissues of laryngeal carcinoma.The results showed that a total of 25 case-control studies were finally included with 1333 cases of laryngeal cancer and 528 cases of controls.The difference in the expression of Survivin between the two groups was statistically significant [OR=18.34,95％ CI (11.82,28.47),P＜0.00001].The difference in the expression of Survivin between laryngeal carcinoma patients with lymph node metastasis or not was statistically significant [OR=0.25,95％ CI (0.17,0.37),P＜0.00001].The expression of Survivin in clinical Ⅰ-Ⅱ stage group was significantly lower than in the clinical stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ group [OR=0.24,95％ CI (0.18,0.32),P＜0.00001].The expression of Survivin in patients with low/medium differentiation was significantly lower than that in those with high differentiation [OR=0.33,95％ CI (0.26,0.43),P＜0.00001].The difference in the expression of Survivin among different T stages of laryngeal carcinoma was statistically significant [OR=0.35,95％ CI (0.21,0.58),P＜0.00001].In conclusion,Survivin may play an important role in the occurrence and development of laryngeal carcinoma,and its high expression is related to the poor prognosis of patients with laryngeal cancer.

Objective To study the prevalence of transfusion transmitted virus (TTV) in normal children and hepatitis B virus (HBV) carrying children. Methods Anested polymerase chain reaction(nPCR) assay was established using two - set of primers designed from the first open read frame of TTV genome. Serum from the children who received physical examination was tested by nPCR assay for the presence of TTV- DNA. Results The total detectable rate of TTV - DNA in those 230 objects was 17.4% , in which the positive rate of TTV - DNA was 13.7% in normal children and was 25.7% in children carrying HBV. There was significant difference in the positive rate of TTV - DNA between normal children and the children carrying HBV. Conclusion There is TTV infection in normal children,and there is higher positive rate of TTV-DNA in children carrying HBV in Xinjiang.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effectiveness of surgical strategies for Shang Ring circumcision in the treatment of short frenulum praeputii in patients with redundant prepuce or phimosis.

METHODSTotally, 130 cases of short frenulum praeputii with redundant prepuce or phimosis were randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control group of equal number to receive Shang Ring circumcision, the former by transverse incision in the distal penis foreskin and pull-up of the interior board, and the latter by conventional transverse incision and longitudinal suture of the frenulum praeputii. Comparisons were made between the two groups in the surgical duration, intraoperative blood loss, 24 h postoperative pain visual analog score (VAS), postoperative complications, satisfaction with the penile appearance, and the quality of sexual life.

RESULTSThe surgical duration, intraoperative blood loss, 24 h postoperative VAS, postoperative sexual satisfaction, and satisfaction with penile appearance were (4.60 +/- 1.20) min, (2.61 +/- 1.81) ml, 1.73 +/- 0.76, 98.5%, and 98.5%, respectively, in the experimental group, as compared with (21.60 +/- 6.30) min, (11.10 +/- 3.40) ml, 5.37 +/- 1.84, 70.3% and 69.8% in the control, with statistically significant differences between the two groups (P < 0.05). The incidence rates of such major complications as wound dehiscence, infection, and moderate to severe edema were 1.5% (1/65), 3.1% (2/65), and 4.6% (3/65), respectively, in the experimental group in comparison with 12.3% (8/65), 15.3% (10/65), and 30.7% (20/65) in the control, with statistically significant differences between the two groups (P < 0.05). None of patients had any serious complications.

CONCLUSIONShang Ring circumcision by transverse incision in the distal penis foreskin and pull-up of the interior board, with its advantages of shorter operation time, less blood loss, mild pain, fewer complications, and higher satisfaction and acceptance of the patients, can be used as an safe and effective approach to the treatment of short frenulum praeputii.
