OBJECTIVE:To investigate the utilization of vancomycin in a hospital,and provide reference for the rational use of vancomycin. METHODS:Retrospective survey was conducted for the medical records of 180 inpatients using vancomycin from Jan. to Jun.,2015 in the hospital. The general information,usage and dosage and pathogenic examination were summarized,do-mestic vancomycin rational use evaluation criteria was conducted to evaluate the medication rationality,summarize and analyze cor-responding inappropriate questions. RESULTS:The vancomycin drug utilization index(DUI)of 180 cases was 0.88(mainly elder-ly patients);the microbial test sample submission rate was 84.44%(152 cases);there were 74 cases (41.11%) about the drug combination;32 cases(17.87%)about unauthorized use;37 cases(20.56%)about inappropriate use,in which inappropriate sol-vent(12 cases,32.43%)and inappropriate drug combination(11 cases,29.73%)were the main types. CONCLUSIONS:The clin-ical application of vancomycin is good with no abusing phenomenon,and the microbial inspection rate is qualified in the hospital. But there still exists some problems or shortcomings when using vancomycin,it is necessary to further standardize the medication monitoring of vancomycin to ensure patients’safety.

Objective To compare the effect of scapula lateral margin approach and standard Judet approach in the operative treatment of scapular fracture. Methods Medical data of 48 patients with scapular fractures from January 2006 to February 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into the observation group and the control group according to the surgical approach. 27 patients in the observation group were treated with operative treatment through scapula lateral margin approach and 21 patients in the control group were treated with sur-gical treatment through standard Judet approach. Compared the clinical effects and complications of the patients in two groups. Results To operation time and intraoperative hemorrhage in the observation group were less than that of the control group (P<0. 05),fracture healing time was shorter than that of the control group after operation (P<0. 05). Six months after operation,the excellent rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group. Scores of daily activities and myodynamia in the observation group were higher than that of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0. 05),and there was no significant difference in the scores of pain and joint motion between the groups(P>0. 05). Conclusion Scapula lateral margin approach in treatment of scapular fracture has the advanta-ges of easy operation,small trauma,definite effect,little complication and it can be used as the preferred scheme of scapular fracture operative treatment.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of different health management on adults with prediabetes.MethodsA total of 1182 pre-diabetics were enrolled in this prospective observation study and assigned to one-by-one interview group,in situ education group,communicative interview group and control group.Three intervention groups received life style intervention ( including health education and risk factor control) for 2 years.Analysis ofvariance,x2 test or q test were used for data analysis.ResultsAfteryear intervention,fasting plasma glucose (FPG)and 2 h plasma glucose of the intervention groups were significantly decreased ( P ＜ 0.05 ).FPG of the one-by-one interview group and the in situ education group was significantly lower than that of the communicative interview group at 6 months ( P ＜ 0.05 ). At 24months,FPG of the one-by-one interview group was lower than that of the in situ education group (P ＜0.05).The percentage of participants who showed appropriate blood glucose control was increased in the intervention groups. In addition,blood pressure,triglyceride,cholesterol,creatinine and body weight of those in the intervened groups were significantly improved compared with the control group ( all P ＜ 0.05 ),although electrocardiogram results and arteriosclerosisshowed nosignificant changes(P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion Health management may contribute to life style change and hypertension control of prediabetics.Furthermore,in situ education may be the most effective life style interventions.

BACKGROUND: Results from clinical trials suggested that clopidogrel and ticlopidine had side effects of granulopenia, and aspirin could inhibit endothelial progenitor cell proliferation. There is no report of effects of these drugs on human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) in stem cell transplantation. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of antiplatelet drugs including clopidogrel, ticlopidine and aspirin on hBMSC proliferation and secretion. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The cytology in vitro observation was performed at the Laboratory of Toxicology, Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention from March to December 2006.MATERIALS: The second passage of hBMSCs was kindly donated from Shanghai Tissue Engineering Research & Development Center, Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital. Clopidogrel (Lot number J20040006) and ticlopidine (Lot number H19980186) were obtained from Hangzhou Sanofi-Synthelabo Minsheng Pharmaceutical CO., Ltd. Aspirin (Lot number 20050059) was obtained from Bayer Vital GmbH. METHODS: The standard culture medium consisted of DMEM-LG, 10% heat-inactivated FBS, 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin. After being cultured in vitro expanded out to passage 6, hBMSCs were treated with antiplatelet drugs of different concentrations and compared with control group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Cell proliferation was assessed by 3- (4, 5-dimethylthiazol -2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) colorimetric assay, level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) of culture medium was detected by enzyme-linked immunoadsordent assay (ELISA), and surface antigens of hBMSCs were analyzed by the flow cytometry. RESULTS: A570 values of hBMSCs treated by clopidogrel or ticlopidine of 0.02,0.1,0.4,2,10,40 μmol/L were higher than control group (P < 0.01), while A570 values of aspirin group of 60, 600, 2 000 μmol/L were lower than control group(P < 0.05). Antiplatelet drugs had no obvious effect on cell surface antigens(CD34, CD105, CD106)expressed by hBMSCs. Treated by high dose clopidogrel or ticlopidine (40 μmol/L), VEGF level from hMSCs was lower than that of control group(P < 0.01), but VEGF level of low dose (0.02 μmol/L) ticlopidine group was higher than control group(P < 0.01), and there was no significantly difference of VEGF level among low dose clopidogrel group (0.02 μmol/L), aspirin group (5, 2 000 μmol/L), and control group(P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Clopidogrel and ticlopidine improve proliferation of hBMSCs, but aspirin inhibits proliferation of hBMSCs. High dose of clopidogrel and ticlopidine suppress VEGF secretion of hBMSCs, while low dose of ticlopidine promote it. Antiplatelet drugs have no obvious effect on hBMSCs differentiation.

Objective To investigate the incidence and related risk factors of female stress urinary incontinence(SUI) in a county of Chengdu. Methods The women were interviewed with questionnaires,which were designed to the modified standard of the Advisory Committee of Urinary Incontinence of Asia-pacific Region. Results The total number of the women investigated was 563,while the number of the valid questionnaires was 512,with the efficient rate 98.5%.Of these women,46.1%(236/512) had urinary incontinence,21.9%(112/512) had simplex SUI,4.7%(24/512) had simplex urgent urinary incontinence and 19.5%(100/512) had complex urinary incontinence.The incidence of SUI(simplex SUI plus complex urinary incontinence) was 41.4%(212/512).The incidence of SUI was associated with factors such as age,pregnancies,drinking and education level,and the severity was associated with age,body mass index and education level.Conclusion The incidence of SUI in this county of Chengdu is relatively higher.Heath education is very important for the female health.

Objective To investigate the therapy for small and short penis in simple obesity children.Methods Sixty simple obesity children with short and small penis were randomly divided into 2 groups(experiment group 30 cases and control group 30 cases).The experiment group received comprehensive treatment(consisting of massage of traditional Chinese medicine,behavior modification,dietetic and sport adjustment) to lose weight and treated by short and small penis healing apparatus.The control obesity children were given conducted behavior,dietetic and sport adjustment,and treated by short and small penis healing apparatus.Results After treatment,weight of 30 cases in the experiment group decreased,with a decrease of(7.75?3.50) kg.Body mass index(BMI) decreased from(31.10?3.88) before treatment to(27.82?3.49),and BMI before and after treatment changed significantly(t=12.68 P

Objective To explore the personality characteristics of abused children in order to reduce the incidence of child abuse.Methods Two hundred and ninty five middle school students were investigated with general questionnaire and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire of children. Eighty six students experiencing child abuse (CA) last year as study group and one hundred and ninety six non-abuse children as controls (NCA) were analyzed by means of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire of children.Results The score of neuroticism in CA group was significantly higher than that in the control group (55.62±10.60/52.65±10.98,t=-2.114 P=0.035). The score of lie in CA group was significantly lower than that in control group (42.21±9.87/46.04±9.20,t=3.184 P=0.002). On the impact of different sex, the psychoticism score of male was significantly higher than that in the control group(52.37±11.49/48.04±9.97,t=-2.227 P=0.028), and the lie score was significantly lower than that in control group(41.03±9.18/46.18±8.79,t=3.125 P=0.002).The scores of those in the female were not significant.Conclusions There is a close association between the unstable emotion and child abuse in children, so training emotional self-control and emotional expression of children might be a intervention strategy in the future. In addition, the frequency of lie in children is probably one of factors that determine whether children are abused or not.

BACKGROUND: Good neurological outcome after cardiac arrest (CA) is hard to achieve for clinicians. Experimental and clinical evidence suggests that therapeutic mild hypothermia is beneficial. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of therapeutic mild hypothermia in patients successfully resuscitated from CA using a meta-analysis. METHODS: We searched the MEDLINE (1966 to April 2012), OVID (1980 to April 2012), EMBASE (1980 to April 2012), Chinese bio-medical literature & retrieval system (CBM) (1978 to April 2012), Chinese medical current contents (CMCC) (1995 to April 2012), and Chinese medical academic conference (CMAC) (1994 to April 2012). Studies were included if 1) the study design was a randomized controlled trial (RCT); 2) the study population included patients successfully resuscitated from CA, and received either standard post-resuscitation care with normothermia or mild hypothermia;3) the study provided data on good neurologic outcome and survival to hospital discharge. Relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to pool the effect. RESULTS: The study included four RCTs with a total of 417 patients successfully resuscitated from CA. Compared to standard post-resuscitation care with normothermia, patients in the hypothermia group were more likely to have good neurologic outcome (RR=1.43, 95% CI 1.14–1.80, P=0.002) and were more likely to survive to hospital discharge (RR=1.32, 95% CI 1.08–1.63, P=0.008). There was no significant difference in adverse events between the normothermia and hypothermia groups (P>0.05), nor heterogeneity and publication bias. CONCLUSION: Therapeutic mild hypothermia improves neurologic outcome and survival in patients successfully resuscitated from CA.
