Objective To establish the model of hyperlipidemie acute pancreatitis(AP)to explore the mechanism of hyperlipidemia in aggravating AP.Methods Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups at radmon:1)control group(C);2)hyperlipidemic group(TG);3)acute pancreatitis group(AP);4)hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis group(HAP).After 8 weeks,blood,pancreas and peripancreas tissue were collected from each rats for determination of various parameters.Results The levels of hyperilidemic index were elevated in HAP group compared with those of other groups.The ADP/ATP ratio was obviously increased in HAP group.Caspase-3 and caspase-8 of HAP group presented in zymogen forms,while in AP group they were in activity forms.After the pancreas issue were stained bv HE and further analyzed through TUNEL assay,we found that there were more pancreatic acinar cells undergoing necrosis in HAP group.Conclusion Hyperilidemia may promote the course of apoptosis to necrosis of pancreatic acinar cells,which may be the mechanism of deterioration in hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis.

Objective To investigate the probable pathologic basis of amido proton transfer(APT) imaging by analysing APT signal intensity and pathologic features of different grades of glioma.Methods Twenty-eight patients with glioma confirmed by postoperative pathology underwent APT scan.All the patients were divided into two groups,including 11 cases in low grade (WHO Ⅰ and Ⅱ) and 17 cases in high grade (WHO Ⅲ and Ⅳ) group.The APT rate of tumor core was measured.The specimens were processed with routine hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemistry of Ki-67 and CD34.Independent-samples t test was used to detect the difference of APT rate,cellularity,microvessel density and Ki-67 labeling indices of tumor core between low grade and high grade group.Pearson correlation analysis and multi-variable linear regression analysis were used to detect the relationship of APT rate with cellularity,microvessel density and Ki-67 labeling indices of the tumor core.Results The APT rate,cellularity and proliferation index were (2.3±0.6) ％,(9.4±2.4) ％ and (14.2±5.4) ％ in low grade group,while (3.6±0.7) ％,(18.4±4.7) ％ and (31.7±4.5) ％ in high grade group,respectively.Microvessel density was (19.0±7.4) per high-power field in low grade group and (38.9±11.3) in high grade group.There were statistical differences of the APT rate,cellularity,microvessel density and proliferation index between the low grade group and the high grade group (t=-4.94,-5.89,-5.13,and-9.28,respectively,P＜0.01).The APT rate was positive correlated with cellularity,microvessel density and proliferation index.The coefficient of correlation were 0.904,0.598,and 0.750,respectively,(P＜0.01).Multiple linear correlative analysis showed that increasing cellularity (X1),microvessel density (X2) and proliferation index (X3) were the main factors for increasing APT rate,and the correlation equation was Y=0.801 + 0.12X1-0.003X2 + 0.026X3 (F=46.437,P＜0.01,R2=0.853).Conclusions The APT signal intensity of the tumor core could reflect the pathologic features of glioma.The APT rate was positive correlated with cellularity,microvessel density and proliferation index,which indicate the higher APT rate the higher grade tumor.

Objective To retrospectively review the clinical characteristics and antimicrobial resistance profile of nosocomial bloodstream infections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae in surgical patients for better use of antimicrobial agents.Methods The clinical data of the surgical patients who were diagnosed with K.pneumoniae-associated bloodstream infections in Tung Wah Hospital from January 2013 to June 2015 were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively.The diagnosis of bloodstream infections was based on national diagnostic criteria.The pathogens were routinely isolated and identified.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out by using Kirby-Bauer method.The data were analyzed by WHONET 5.6 software.Results A total of 78 surgical patients were identified with nosocomial bloodstream infections due to K.pneumoniae during this period,including primary bloodstream infections (12.8％,10/78) and secondary bloodstream infections (87.2％,68/78).These infections were mainly associated with surgical and invasive procedures.Nearly 40％ of the K.pneumoniae isolates were resistant to ceftriaxone,cefuroxime and piperacillin.ESBLs were produced in 43.6％ (34/78) of the K.pneumoniae isolates.The ESBLs-producing strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to various antibiotics than non-ESBLs-producing strains.Piperacillin-tazobactam,amikacin,imipenem,and meropenem still have good antibacterial activity against these K.pneumoniae isolates.However,imipenem-resistant strains are emerging.Conclusions Most of the bloodstream infections caused by K.pneumoniae were secondary to infections in other body sites in surgical patients.Hospital infection control measures should be strengthened.Meanwhile,the clinicians should take full advantages of microbiological laboratory to profile the pathogens and their susceptibility patterns,which is crucial for rational use of antibiotics.

In order to study the association of each item of a health examination and lifestyles with health-related quality of life (HRQoL), a cross-sectional survey by a self-administered questionnaire using the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12, version 1) was conducted on 145 government managers that took health examinations in Tongji Hospital, Wuhan, China during 2005. The results showed that the determinations of organic functions including BMI, hemoglobin, blood platelet count, urine protein, urine WBC and lipid metabolism (LDL) were associated with HRQoL. The lifestyle items including age, sex, life satisfaction drinking alcohol and kind of alcohol drunk, drinking tea, sleep quality and adhering to bedtime, working overtime, work stress were associated with HRQoL in the multiple regression models. Sex, age and life satisfaction were the lifestyle items most closely associated with HRQoL, while LDL, hemoglobin and urine protein were the health examination items most closely associated HRQoL. This study revealed that both lifestyle and health examination items were associated with HRQoL.

Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GISTs).Methods Clinical and pathological data of the 32 GISTs cases treated over the recent 5 years in our hospital were reviewed retrospectively.Results Stomach was the most frequent site for GISTs.Abdominal pain was the most common symptom.Before operation,81.3%(26/32) of the cases were misdiagnosed.All of the cases underwent surgical resection.10 recurrent GIST patients received a second resection,and 8 patients(underwant) three or more resections.Follow-up was made from six months to 5 years,and 8 patients died.Conclusions The diagnosis of GISTs is difficult and mainly depends on histopathology and(immunohistochemistry).Surgical resection is the principal treatment of GISTs.Reoperation is effective for the treatment of recurrent cases.

This study was aimed to establish a rapid discrimination method of Pinellia ternataand its adulterants based on the odour fingerprints analysis.Typhonium flagelliforme and Arisaema Rhizome,which were the common adulterants of Pinellia ternata,were collected.The adulterants were mixed with Pinellia ternatain different proportions.E-nose technology was used to obtain the odour fingerprints of Pinellia ternataand its adulterants of different types and proportions.Chemometrics methods,such as the analysis of variance (ANOVA),principal component analysis (PCA) and discriminant factor analysis (DFA) were used in the analysis and discrimination on sensors response data collected by sensors.The results showed that there were obvious differences on the odour characteristics between Pinellia ternateand its adulterants.PCA can obviously discriminate Pinellia ternateand its adulterants.And the odour difference became obvious along with the increasing of the adulteration proportion.There was a linear relationship between e-nose signal and the proportion of Typhonium flagelliforme.The cumulative proportion in ANOVA of the DFA model was 100%.The correct recognition rate was not less than 97%.It was concluded that e-nose can be used for rapid discrimination of Pinellia ternataand its adulterants.This study provided new technology and method for the discrimination of adulterants of Chinese materia medica.

Objective To investigate the protection effects and possible mechanism of apoptotic effect of compound Xiancao granules on renal ischemia reperfusion injury ( IRI ) in rats. Methods Renal IRI rat model was established by clipping bilateral renal artery.The rats were divided into model control group (n=10), compound Xiancao granules group (n=10) and sham operation group (n=10).All Serum creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were determined to evaluate kidney function after IRI.Superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) and malondialdehyde (MDA) activity in kidney were measured by colorimetric method. Expression of apoptotic regulatory genes Bcl-2 and Bax in renal tissue were detected by Western blotting.Renal tissue sections were stained by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and examined under a light microscope. Results SOD and GSH-PX levels of the compound Xiancao granules group (278.1±16.2),(155.96±20.58) U?mg-1 were significantly higher than those of the model control group (196.3±12.1),(109.34±17.81) U?mg-1 (P<0.05). MDA, BUN and Cr (12.49±1.07) nmol?mL-1,(8.9±2.7) mmol?L-1,(149.7±8.5) μmol?L-1 were significantly reduced in the compound Xiancao granules group as compared with those of the model control group (17.32±1.26) nmol?mL-1,(14.6± 3.3) mmol?L-1,(206.1±11.2) μmol?L-1(P<0.05).Bax and Bcl-2 mRNA expression levels of sham operation group were significantly lower, and the Bax and Bcl-2 mRNA expression levels of model control group were significantly enhanced ( Bcl-2:P<0. 05, Bax: P<0. 01 ) . Bax mRNA expression level of compound Xiancao granules group was significantly decreased as compared with that of model control group ( P<0.05) , but Bcl-2 mRNA expression level of compound Xiancao granules group was significantly enhanced as compared with that of model control group (P<0.01). Conclusion These results suggested that compound Xiancao granules has protection effect on renal IRI in rats. The mechanisms may be related to its antioxidant activity and expression of the apoptotic genes such as Bcl-2 and Bax.
