Growing energy consumption has become a key consideration for hospital infrastructure,while densely-placed data centers in the hospital make things worse.In view of energy saving and environment protection,the authors briefed the inevitable trend and requirements for the hospitals to build environment-friendly data centers,with key details and outcomes covered.

Background and purpose:Twist has been identifi ed as tumor metastasis promoter transcription factor and KiSS-1 has been identified as tumor metastasis suppressor gene,and both of them have been identified to be associated with the metastatic potential of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) .Our aim was to identify the expression of both Twist and KiSS-1 in NSCLC and analyze their correlation with patients’ survival.Methods:Immunohistochemical staining using monoclonal Twist and KiSS-1 antibody were performed on paraffi n embedded specimens from 61 patients diagnosed with NSCLC,and 15 specimens of tumor surrounding lung tissue were used as control.The association with clinicopathologic data and prognosis of NSCLC were analyzed.Results:The expression of Twist was significantly higher in NSCLC than in tumor surrounding lung tissue(P

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a multimodal perioperative care pathway designed to achieve early recovery for patients undergoing major surgery.The ERAS programs aim to reduce traumatic stress and postoperative complications,improve full recovery of patients or combine and coordinate evidence-based perioperative care interventions that support standardizing and optimizing surgical care.The international working group assembled by the ERAS Society composed the 2014 Consensus guidelines for enhanced recovery after gastrectomy Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS(@)) Society recommendations in July 2014.This guideline is designed for optimal perioperative care for patients undergoing gastrectomy.This paper presented the understanding of hot issues of the guidelines in order to provide the clinical evidence of evidence-based medicine for the surgical field in China.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of high-density micropulse photocoagulation (HD-SDM) combined with intravitreal injection of ranibizumab for diabetic macular edema (DME).Methods Thirty-one patients (31 eyes) with DME were randomly divided into two groups.Group A (15 eyes) received HD-SDM combined with intravitreal injection of ranibizumab.Group B (16 eyes) only received intravitreal injection of ranibizumab.The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) of the two groups before and after treatment were analyzed,and the annual injection times of the two groups were compared.Results The average annual injection times was 3.67 ± 1.11 in group A,and 9.12 ±2.63 in group B.The difference was significant between the two groups (t =2.05,P ＜ 0.05).There were significant differences in CMT before and after treatment in both groups (all P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in CMT between the two groups(t =1.19,P ＞ 0.05).There were significant differences in BCVA before and after treatment in both groups (all P ＜ 0.05),but there was no significant difference before and after treatment between the two groups(all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Both HD-SDM combined with intravitreal injection of ranibizumab and single intravitreal injection of ranlbizumab are effective for DME,but the combining treatment can remarkably decrease the annual injection times and had a good compliance of patients,is a good choice for DME patients.

Lipase from Burkholderia cepacia complex is one of the most versatile biocatalyst and is used widely in many biotechnological application fields including detergent additives, the resolution of racemic compounds, etc. Based on the known whole genomic information of B. cepacia, both ampicillin and kanamycin were added to the TB-T media, the traditional selective media, to screen B. cepacia complex strains from rhizosphere soil samples. The single colonies on the plates with the modified TB-T media were then qualitatively determined the ability to produced the extracellular lipase in the rhodamine B-olive oil agar plates. Thirty-five strains of lipolytic pseudo-B. cepacia complex were isolated and the positive rate of lipolytic bacteria was 65%. Among them, 15 pseudo-B. cepacia complex strains with the tolerance to benzene, n-hexane and n-heptane at the concentration of 10% (V/V) were selected and identified by the recA gene sequence. All of the 15 lipolytic bacteria belonged to the B. cepacia complex.

Objective To study the clinical significance and the expression of Twist protein in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods The expression of Twist protein was examined in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples of 61 NSCLC by S-P immunohistochemical method.Results The expression level of Twist in NSCLC was significantly higher than that of normal lung tissue;the positive expression of Twist protein was related to the histotype,clinical stage and lymph node metastasis;the expression level of Twist protein in the cases whose survival time was less than 4 years was significantly higher than that in the cases whose survival time more than 4 years;the Cox analysis revealed that smoking and lymph node metastasis were the noticeable affective factors on the death of the NSCLC patients after surgery.Conclusion s Twist gene played an important role in the genesis and development of NSCLC,and was related to the prognosis.

Objective To evaluate a new enzyme-linked immunospot assay (TSPOT-TB) for the diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection in patients with rheumatic diseases.Methods The rapid TSPOT-TB assay was applied to detect ESAT-6 and CFP-10 specific T cells in blood samples from 126 rheumatic disease patients.A PPD skin test was performed on all patients simultaneously.Results The positive rate of TSPOT assay was 23.8% and that of PPD skin test was 34.9%.The overall agreement between the 2 tests was 71.4%.Among PPD (-) patients (n=82),11 were TSPOT (+) ( 13.4% ).Among PPD (+) patients (n=44),25 were TSPOT(-) ( 56.8% ).The patients who got BCG vaccination showed a significantly higher rate of positive results of PPD skin test than those who did not(41% vs 19%,P＜0.05).While in TSPOT assay,the BCG vaccination did not show any influence on TSPOT results (22% vs 27%,P＞0.05).Conclusion BCG vaccina-tion affects the results of PPD test in patients with rheumatic diseases,but has no influence on TSPOT results.The infection rate of latent tuberculosis in patients with rheumatic diseases in our study is 23.8% detected by TSPOT.

Objective To compare the efficacy of the conventional PPD skin test and a new enzymelinked immunospot assay(TSPOT-TB)for diagnosing latent tuberculosis infection(LTBI)in patients with rheumatic diseases.Methods Two hundred and sixty rheumatic patients were enrolled,and all were screened for LTBI based on clinical history,chest X-ray,PPD skin test or TSPOT.Results The positive rate of TSPOT assay was 24.1%and that of PPD skin test was 39.4%.The overall concordance rate between the 2tests was 61.0%.Among PPD negative patients (n=149).29 were TSPOT(+)(19.5%).Among PPD(+)patients(n=98),69 were TSPOT(-)(70.0%).The patients who got BCG vaccination or had history of tuberculosis infection showed a significantly higher rate of positive result of PPD skin test than those who did not (P<0.05 or P<0.01).While in TSPOT assay,the BCG vaccination or history of tuberculosis infection did not show influence on TSPOT results(P>0.05).Of the 127 patients who received biological agents after screening for LTBI,9 patients were pretreated with isoniazide.Twenty-seven patients stopped biological agent treatment because of the positive results of PPD or TSPOT.Twenty three patients who had positive PPD but negative TSPOT results received biological agent treatment without isoniazide,and none of them developed active tubereulosis after 6 to 18 months of follow-up.Conclusion BCG vaccination affects the result of PPD test in rheumatic patients,but has no influence on TSPOT results.The infection rate of latent tuberculosis of rheumatic patients in our research is 23.8%detected by TSPOT.
