With the development of management in NICU,nosocomial infection increases gradually.Nosocomial infection monitoring is very important for improving the survival rate of the newborn and crutial for updating the management of NICU.This article discussed the risk factors and prevention strategies of nosocomial infection in NICU.

Objective To clarify the effect of myofunctional treatment on primary and mixed dentition malocclusion.Methods Twenty-seven children were selected,3 were in primary dentition among which 2 showed deep overbite.24 were in mixed dentition and presented crowding in anterior area among which 4 children combined with anterior crossbite,2 showed deep overbite and deep overjet.All the patients were treated with myofunctional trainer such as INFANT,T4K or I2N appliances according to their age and malocclusion type.The patients were instructed to wear the trainers for at least one hour a day keeping their lips together or overnight while sleeping.Muscle exercises were done when wearing the trainer during daytime.Results After 6-10 months,24 patients who were in good compliance had their teeth aligned,deep overjet and deep overbite corrected,and facial profile improved.Conclusions Myofunctional treatment is effective on primary and mixed dentition malocclusion.It is important to have patients' good compliance.

Objective To study the relationship of expression of central cortex glucocorticoid receptor (GR) at protein level with GR expression in the liver at protein level and with changes of serum cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) following severe closed traumatic brain injury (TBI) in mice. Methods Severe TBI was established in awake mice by using a BIM-Ⅲ biomechanical machine. At 0.5, 2, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours after TBI, the total cytosolic GR in the cortex and liver were detected with Western blotting. Levels of serum ACTH and cortisol were measured by ELISA technique and radio-immunological assay (RIA) respectively. Results The expression of GR both in the cortex and liver were obviously down-regulated at protein levels at 2-72 hours after TBI and increased slowly eight hours after injury. The GR in the liver showed no recovery at 72 hours after injury and that in the cortex was decreased continually at 24 hours after injury. Serum ACTH and cortisol levels were increased markedly compared with control group, when there were two different peaks in the observation curve.Conclusion There is glucocorticoid resistance both in the central and peripheral tissues after severe closed TBI in the awake mice, which changes in a time-dependent manner.

Objective To evaluate the changes and clinical significance of CD+4CDHi25CDLo127 regulatory T cell(Treg) in peripheral blood of patients with lung cancer. Methods 30 patients with lung cancer and 20 heathy volunteers were included in this study. The proportion of Treg population in CD4+ T cells stained with three colors was analysed by flow cytometry. The serum level of IL-10 and TGF-β were measured by ELISA. Results The proportion of Treg in patients with squamous cell careinoma(n=20), adenocarcinoma (n=10) were all significantly higher than that of healthy controls (P <0.05), but there was not obvious difference between the two groups with different pathological types(P0.05). Increased serum level of IL-10 and TGF-β was also detected in lung cancer patients. Conclusion The proportion of Treg is increased in lung cancer patients, which may result in the inhibition of host anti-cancer immune response by excreting IL-10 and TGF-β.

Objective To study the impact of temperature, light, nitrogen and phosphorus on growth and microcystin-LR production of Microcystis aeraginosa strain under laboratory conditions. Methods M.aeraginosa strain was cultivated in BG-11 medium. Growth was determined by counting cell, while microcystin-LR was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Results M.aeraginosa strain had a biggest growth rate at temperature of 25 ℃ and light intensity of 3 000 lx, while microcystin-LR production contents reached maximum at 20 ℃ and 5 000 lx respectively. Under the phosphorus-fixed condition, M. aeraginosa amount and mircrocystin-LR content increased by nitrogen concentration and reached the peak when the nitrogen concentration was 650.0 ?mol/L. But higher concentration of nitrogen could probably restrain the cell growth and toxin production. Under the nitrogen-fixed condition, M. aeraginosa strain grew slowly at phosphorus concentration of 1.43 ?mol/L, but had a higher growth rate when phosphorus concentration was 6.50 ?mol/L. No significant change was found with the increase of phosphorus concentration. And almost similar contents of microcystin-LR produced by M. aeraginosa were observed at different phosphorus concentrations. Positive correlations between total microcystin-LR concentrations and chlorophyll-a contents and M. aeraginosa cell densities were found. Conclusion The optimum conditions for growth and toxin production of M. aeraginosa are not the same. Phosphorus is a probable limitation nutrient factor, and a low concentration will satisfy the growth and toxin production of M. aeraginos. The N∶P atomic ratio at 100∶1 was determined as the optimum for growth and toxin production. The total microcystin-LR concentration can be forecasted by M. aeraginosa cell density or chlorophyll-a content.

Antiplatelet drugs are widely used for various cardiovascular diseases. However, there is no standard for pharmaceutical care of antiplatelet drugs. In the paper, the development and application in antiplatelet drugs of thrombelastography were reviewed to analyze the application value of thrombelastography in effectiveness evaluation of antiplatelet drugs.

Objective To assess the long-term efficacy and safety of mid-dosage (13～15 mg?kg-1?g-1) ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) treatment for primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). Methods A systematic review of all randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing UDCA with placebo was performed. Results Seven trials including 1038 patients were assessed. UDCA could significantly improve liver biochemistry, but had no effect on pruritus and fatigue. In the patients with initial stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ, there was a significant decrease in the histologic progression after treatment with UDCA for 2 years compared with the placcebo group(P=0.03), but there was no significant difference between the two groups when considering overall patients with initial stage Ⅰ-Ⅳ (P=0.08). Meta-analysis showed no significant difference in the incidence of death (odds ratio 0.99, 95% confidence interval 0.62-1.58), liver related death (1.05, 0.53-2.05), liver trans-plantation (0.87, 0.53-1.41), death and/or liver transplantation (0.92, 0.64-1.31) and liver decompensation (0.94, 0.60-1.49) between the UDCA and placebo groups. Conclusions The analysis of RCTs of UDCA versus placebo shows improvement of liver biochemistry, but not improvement of clinical symptoms and survival. UDCA may slow down liver histologic progression in the early-stage patients with PBC.

0.05). The score of HAMD(38.1?4.0/33.4?4.7,t=4.35), HAMA(22.6?5.5/11.7?2.7,t=10.93), GDS(14.0?1.2/12.1?2.0,t=4.92) of comorbidity group was significantly higher than that of the depression group. The social function (SF)(70.0?21.2/50.0?22.5,t=4.02) and physical function (PF)(79.2?13.6/69.1?13.6,t=3.25) scores of SF-36 were significantly higher in depressive group than in comorbidity group. Conclusion: Comorbid depression and anxiety and anxious depression are associated with more severe overall psychopathology than nonanxious depression in elderly persons, similar to observations in younger adults.

Objective Since integrons play an important role in the spread of antibiotic resistance genes in bacteria,the characterization of a new resistance gene cassette in class 1 integron positive strains of E.coli was analyzed. Methods The presence and genetic content of class 1 integron were examined by PCR and sequencing.The sequence was analyzed by using some bioinformatics softwares.Results 5 class 1 integron positive strains were amplified by primers of in-F and in-B which were set for amplifying the region of antibiotics resistance genes.Among the 5 strains,an amplicon of 1009 bp was yielded.Sequencing analysis revealed that amplicon of 1009 bp harbored a 780 bp ORF.Further analysis with bioinformatics software showed that it was 99.6% and 99.5% identical to the known aadA23 and aadA21 cassette,and was just 66.4% identical to the known aadA5 cassette.It was conferring resistant to spectinomycin and streptomycin,and was given a new name aadA23b.Conclusions Multi-drug resistance genes has been proved changeable in E.coli clinical strains.The result not only stressed the need for continuing surveillance of antibiotic resistance in the molecular level,but also the need caring for genetic variation of drug resistance gene cassettes.
