OBJECTIVE To investigate the rate of the clinical isolation of ESBLs positive Escherichia coli and the resistance in intensive care units(ICU).METHODS We isolated E.coli from 2003 to 2004 in our hospital ICU,phenotypic confirmatory test was applied to detect ESBLs.Bacterial drug susceptibility test was performed by standard Kirby-Bauer method.RESULTS The isolation rate of ESBLs positive E.coli was 74.36% in 2003 and 81.58% in 2004.ESBLs positive bacteria had high resistance to antibacterial drugs,but the resistance rate did not rise.ESBLs negative bacteria were more susceptible to antibacterial drugs(P=0.001);but ESBLs negative bacteria in 2004 had higher resistance than in 2003(?2=84.511,P=0.001).CONCLUSIONS It is very important for ICU to use ESBLs detection test in time,and antibacterial drugs in reason.

[Objective] To obtain the genetic information on Necator americanus and to search for the purpose genes.[Methods] Mrna was isolated from the third stage larvae of Necator americanus maintained in hamsters.Double strand Cdna was synthesized and ligated to ΛzapⅡ vector to construct the Cdna library.Expresed se-quence tages (ESTs) were obtained by single pass sequencing of randomly isolated Cdna clones from the es-tablished library.[Results] A Cdna librazy of N.americanus was successfully constructed with high recombi-nant efficiency.The titer of unamplified library was 1×107.The insert size was about 750～3000bp.Of 11 ESTs obtained from the library,7 have a significant homology with certain functional genes.[Conclunsion]A high quality and high representative Cdna library of N.americanus was constructed at the first time and ome functional genes were identified from the library by ESTs.

BACKGROUND: Hemorrhagic cystitis remains a common complication of hematopoietlc stem cell transplantation.Granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) affects proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, adjusts functions of monocytes, granulocytes, lymphocytes and endothelial cells.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective effects of GM-CSF bladder irrigation in hemorrhagic cystitis after allogeneic hematopoietic stem call transplantation.DESIGN: Case analysis.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 15 hematopathy patients undergoing allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at the Zhongshan Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2004 to August 2006 (routine treatment group). A total of 16 hematopathy patients undergoing allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from September 2006 to December 2008 (GM-CSF group).METHODS: In the routine treatment group, patients received mesna, hydration, alkalization and forced diuresis in the prevention of hemorrhagic cystitis. In the GM-CSF group, GM-CSF was infused into the bladder in addition to mesna,hydration, alkalization and forced diuresis in the prevention of hemorrhagic cystitis 24 hours before cyclophosphamide treatment. Catheter was extracted 3 days following cyclophosphamide withdraw. Following washing with saline, the bladder was emptied. 10 mL of saline and 5 mL of lidocaine were added into 300 μg of GM-CSF. The mixture was infused into the bladder for 60-120 minutes.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The following parameters were measured: occurrence of hemorrhagic cystitis and its correlation to graft versus host disease, as well as the occurrence of cytomegalovirus infection and urinary system infection.RESULTS: Compared with routine treatment group, the occurrence rate of hemorrhagic cystitis was significantly decreased in the GM-CSF group (x2=4.39, P < 0.05), mean duration of hemorrhagic cystitis and duration of hospitalization were significantly shortened (t=3.97, P < 0.05; t=3.13, P < 0.05), and the occurrence rate of over grade HI hemorrhagic cystitis was significantly reduced (x2=5.04, P < 0.05). Cystitis degree was associated with degree and duration of graft-versus-host disease (r = 0.76).Compared with the routine treatment group, cytomegalovirus infection rate was slightly decreased in the GM-CSF group (x2=0.28, P> 0.05), and occurrence rate of over grade Ⅲ hemorrhagic cystitis was higher in patients with cytomegalovirus infection.Compared with the routine treatment group, the occurrence rate of urinary system infection was slightly reduced in the GM-CSF group (x2=0.28, P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: GM-CSF bladder irrigation is well tolerated and often effective, and should be considered as a preparative regimen of hemorrhagic cystitis after allogeneic hematopoietic stem call transplantation.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of high fat diet and caloric restriction on brain aging as well as the activity of Acetylcholinesterase(AChE) and afford scientific evidence to rational diet and prevent brain aging.MethodsSixty male ICR mice were randomly divided into 6 groups: the D-galactose-induced brain aging, brain aging plus high fat diet, brain aging plus caloric restriction, high fat diet only, caloric restriction only and normal control groups. Mice were given 100 mg/kg·d subcutaneous injection of D-galactose to prepare brain aging model for 9 weeks. Morris water maze (MWM) test was employed to determine their spatial learning and memory ability. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in brain was determined by hydroxylaminecolorimetric assay.ResultsIn Morris water maze test, brain aging mice showed a significant longer escape latency than the normal control mice (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in escape latency between brain aging mice plus high fat diet and brain aging mice groups (P>0.05), and between the control and high fat diet groups (P>0.05). Brain aging mice plus caloric restriction exhibited a significant shorter escape latency than brain aging mice (P<0.05), but no difference was found when compared with normal control mice (P>0.05). There were no statistical difference in escape latency between the controls and caloric restriction group (P>0.05). The AChE activity in brain aging, brain aging plus high fat diet and brain aging plus caloric restriction group were higher than those in control and caloric restriction group (P<0.05). There were no statistical difference in AChE activity between the controls and caloric restriction group (P>0.05). Brain aging plus high fat diet were higher than brain aging and other non model control groups.ConclusionHigh fat diet can raise the activity of AChE effectively, but can not influence the capacity of learning and memory in mice. Caloric restriction can improve the capacity of learning and memory in mice, but has no significant influence on the activity of AChE in brain.

Objective: To summarize the experience for treating pulmonary venous obstruction in patients after total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) operation. Methods: A total of 16 patients with post-TAPVC pulmonary venous obstruction in our hospital from 2011-01 to 2015-12 were retrospectively analyzed including10 male. All patients received echocardiography, electrocardiogram and chest X-ray examinations at pre-discharge, 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months post-operation. Pulmonary venous obstruction was diagnosed by echocardiography measured pulmonary vein (PV) lfow speed>2m/s. The time of re-operation was determined by clinical manifestations as recurrent heart failure and growth retardation; sutureless technique and conventional patch enlarge technique were used in the second operation. Results: No one lost contact in all 16 patients. There were 7/16 patients with anastomotic stenosis (1 mixed type, 3 infracardiac type, 2 supracardiac type and 1 cardiac type), 7 patients with one PV stenosis, 2 with two PV stenosis and nobody with three or more PV stenosis. Based on per-operative Darling classiifcation, there were 2 patients with mixed type, 5 with infracardiac type, 5 with supracardiac type and 4 with cardiac type. Most post-operative PV stenosis occurred at 3-6 months after the surgery. There were 5 patients receive re-operation, 4 with sutureless technique, 1 with conventional patch enlarge technique and all of them suffered from anastomotic stenosis. 2 patients died and 3 were followed-up. Conclusion: Post-operative anastomotic stenosis was the main indication for re-operation in patients after TAPVC; early operation could better improve the clinical condition.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of type 2 vesicular monoamine transporter molecular probe,18 F-FP-(+)-DTBZ, in the monitoring of total islet β cell mass in animal models. Methods Two groups of Wistar rats were included in this study. In the type 1 diabetes group ( n = 6 ) , the streptozotocin ( STZ) was intraperitoneally injected at a dose of 65 mg/kg, and the control group ( n= 6 ) was likewisely injected with an equal volume of saline, Micro- positron emission tomography ( PET )/ computed tomography ( CT) imaging was performed at these rats post injection of18 F-FP-(+)-DTBZ at 0. 5, 1, 4, 6, and 12 months after STZ or saline injection, bodyweight and glucose level were also measured. Results The average standardized uptake values ( SUV) in the pancreas in the type 1 diabetes rats were decreased significantly than that of the control group at 0.5, 1, and, 4 months ( P<0.05) , and there was no significant difference at 6th and 12th months ( P>0.05) post injection of STZ and saline. Fasting blood glucose positively correlated with pancreatic SUV in the two groups at 0.5, 1, and 4 months (P<0.05) post injection of STZ and saline. Conclusion 18F-FP-(+)-DTBZ PET imaging is a promising method for dynamic monitoringβcell mass in type 1 diabetic rats.

OBJECTIVEBy clarifying the natural history of chronic hepatitis B, to evaluate its long-term therapeutic outcome, antiviral drugs efficacy and economic significance.

METHODSA cohort of 183 (mean age of 31.75?.03 years, male/female ratio: 152:31) chronic hepatitis B patients with biopsy-proven and 247 cases of general population as control were followed up by retrospective cohort study. The follow-up time was 11.81?.08 years. This study was focused on long-term clinical outcome including the rate of liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and death, the long-term effect of antiviral drugs and prognostic factors.

RESULTSIn chronic hepatitis B patients, 22 (12.02%) developed liver cirrhosis, 12 (6.56%) hepatocellular carcinoma, and 20 (10.93%) died. The cumulative survival probabilities were 97.27%, 91.62%, and 84.47% in 5, 10, and 15 years, respectively. The cumulative probabilities of HCC were 0.00%, 3.19%, and 11.56% in 5, 10, and 15 years, respectively. In 247 control subjects, 6 (2.43%) died, none of them developed cirrhosis or HCC. The rates of death, liver cirrhosis, and HCC in hepatitis B patients were markedly different (P<0.005) compared with controls. The overall mortality of hepatitis B patients was 4.50 folds of the general population. Cox multiple regression analysis showed that old age, severe histological injury, and the positive HBeAg were closely related to liver cirrhosis, while old age, severe histological injury, and male were major factors leading to death. The independent variable of predicted HCC was not found.

CONCLUSIONSThe long-term outcome of hepatitis B is poor.
