OBJECTIVE To study the bacterial infections in ICU,pathogens distribution and their drug-resistance characteristics,so as to offer a reference to the prevention and control of hospital infection.METHODS Specimens from ICU from Jan 2003 to Dec 2004 were underwent a process of germ culture,identification and drug-sensitivity test.Germ culture-positive cases were confirmed by Diagnostic Standards of Hospital Infections.RESULTS Ninety three pathogens were identified from ICU in two years.Of all cases,63.44% were Gram-negative,30.1% were Gram-positive,and 9.68% were epiphyte.Among them,19.35% were Pseudomonas aeruginosa and it was the main one of Gram-negatives;9.68% were Staphylococcus aureus and it composed the most of Gram-positives;6.45% were epiphyte.Of all 93 pathogens,60 gained from respiratory tract,and 23 gained from urinary tract.CONCLUSIONS To emphasize on the strictly control of ICU,hospital infections and high risk disease,and to adopt certain preventive measures are the ways to control and decrease hospital infections.

Objective To discuss the clinical significance of serum neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin(NGAL)detection in the diagnosis of contrast induced nephropathy .Methods A total of 299 inpatients with contrast medium in department of inten‐sive care unit(ICU) ,department of cardiovascular disease ,department of urology from Guangdong Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were enrolled ,and the fasting blood glucose and lipids were detected .Sera were collected before examination of contrast medium and 1 ,2 and 6 d after examination of contrast medium respectively .Serum creatinine(SCr)and cystatin C(CysC) were detected ,the concentration of NGAL was determined .CIN was defined as of increased by 44 μmol/L or 25% from baseline in SCr within 24-48 h .The NGAL detection variation tendency was analyzed in different time point .Results In 299 cases ,CIN oc‐curred in 28 patients ,the incidence rate was 9 .36% .The diabetes patients in the incidence of CIN was 16 .21% (12/74) ,no inci‐dence of diabetic patients was 7 .11% (16/225) .When compared with that of before contrast ,CIN in serum of patients with Cr and CysC coronary angiography in 2 d significantly increased after contrast medium ,returned to the level before angiography on 6 d .But the serum NGAL in angiography 1 d after it was significantly increased (P<0 .05) ,statistically significant differences compared with pre contrast ,and was still at a high level on sixth day .Conclusion Prediction of CIN level of serum NGAL in contrast after 1 d could be a good predictor for CIN ,and the prediction time is earlier than the serum levels of Cr and CysC .The level of serum NGAL can be used for early diagnosis of CIN .

Objective To observe the levels of serum complement C 1q, C3, C4 and factor B in different phases during normal pregnancy;To evaluate the diagnostic value and the predictive value of serum complement C1q, C3, C4 and factor B in preeclampsia (PE).Methods Three groups of subjectes were enrolled from January 2017 to March 2018 in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology , Peking University Third Hospital.(1) 30 pregnant women in each group at 8-14 weeks, 20-26 weeks and 28-36 weeks were retrospectively selected , and the serum levels of complement C 1q, C3, C4 and B factors were measured and compared.(2)Selecting 17 cases of early-onset mild PE, 47 cases of early-onset severe PE, 24 cases of late-onset mild PE, 27 cases of late-onset severe PE, and 30 normal pregnant cases of the same gestational stage as early-onset /late-onset controls , through ANOVA analysis and comparison between two groups , this study evaluated the diagnostic value of serum complement C 1q, C3, C4 and factor B in PE.(3)To evaluate the predictive effect in PE, it analyzed serum C1q and factor B levels of pregnant women at 20-26 gestation weeks through prospective nested case-control study of 214 cases.Results The levels of serum C1q remained stable in the whole pregnancy .The levels of C3 and factor B increased at the early stage of pregnancy and remained stable after the middle stage .C4 increased early in pregnancy and then remained stable.Compared with the control group , the levels of serum C1q in all four types of PE patients were significantly decreased ( median: 169 mg/L, 161 mg/L, 165 mg/L, 163 mg/L;early-onset, late-onset control group:187 mg/L, 194 mg/L;U=130.500, 426.500, 159.500, 130.500, all P<0.05).Serum C3 levels of all the other three types of PE patients were significantly lower than those of the control groups (median:1170 mg/L, 1323 mg/L, 1223 mg/L;early-onset, late-onset control groups: 1438 mg/L, 1434 mg/L;U =379.000, 246.000, 160.000, all P <0.05 ), except for the early-onset mild PE (1275 mg/L).Serum C4 levels of patients with early/late onset severe PE were significantly lower than those of the control groups ( median: 140 mg/L, 142 mg/L;early-onset, late-onset control groups:223 mg/L, 235 mg/L;U =329.500, 136.500, both P <0.001 ) .Serum factor B levels showed no statistical difference among 3 early on-set groups or among 3 late on-set groups ( early-onset group median:332 mg/L,318 mg/L,early-onset control group 312 mg/L;late-onset group median:316 mg/L,314 mg/L, late-onset group 303 mg/L;χ2 =5.990, 1.77, all P>0.05).33 (15.4％) cases developed PE out of 214 pregnant women with PE risk factors .Compared to those who didn′t develop PE , it showed no statistical difference of serum C1q, C3, C4, and factor B levels at 20-26 gestational weeks of the women who subsequently developed PE ( C1q:175 mg/L vs.184 mg/L; C3:1523 mg/L vs.1467 mg/L; C4:230 mg/L vs.229 mg/L;FB:344 mg/L vs.320 mg/L;U=2090.000, 1575.000, 2058.500, 1362.000, all P>0.05).Compared to those of the healthy pregnant controls , it showed no statistical difference of serum C1q, C3 and C4 levels of 20-26 gestational weeks of the women who subsequently developed PE (C1q:175 mg/L vs.190 mg/L; C3:1523 mg/L vs.1428 mg/L; C4:230 mg/L vs.227 mg/L; U=353.000, 395.000, 493.500, all P >0.05),while it showed statistical difference (344 mg/L vs.306 mg/L;U=233.500, P=0.007) for factor B.Conclusions Serum C1q level of PE patients significantly decreased, which can be used as potential indicators of PE diagnosis , but serum C1q, C3, C4 level of 20-26 gestational weeks cannot predict risk of PE .Factor B cannot serve as serum index of PE diagnosis , but its serum levels at 20-26 gestational weeks werer higher than those of normal pregnant controls , factor B may be a potential predictor , but need further verification .

Objective To evaluate the relationship between sevoflurane-induced cognitive impairment and α1B adrenoceptors (ADRA1B) and ADRA1D in the cerebral cortex of rats.Methods Forty-eight SPF adult Sprague-Dawley rats (half male,half female),weighing 220-260 g,were divided into control group (C group,n =24) and sevoflurane group (S group,n =24) using a random number table method.Group C and group S inhaled air and 3％ sevoflurane,respectively,for 5 h.Eight rats in each group were sacrificed immediately after anesthesia,and the cerebral cortex was removed.Eight rats in each group were selected on days 1 and 7 after anesthesia and underwent Barnes maze test.The rats were then sacrificed,and the cerebral cortex was removed.The expression of ADRA1B and ADRA1D protein and mRNA in cerebral cortex tissues was detected by Western blot and fluorescent quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction,respectively.Results Compared with group C,the number of entering incorrect holes was significantly increased at 1 and 7 days after anesthesia,the latency and total distance to enter the target hole were prolonged,and the expression of ADRA1B and ADRA1D protein and mRNA in cerebral cortex was down-regulated immediately after anesthesia and at 1 and 7 days after anesthesia in group S (P＜0.05).Conclusion The mechanism underlying sevoflurane-induced cognitive impairment may be related to the down-regulated expression of ADRA1B and ADRA1D in cerebral cortex of rats.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and feasibility of cancer tissue specimen delivery through a preventive ostomy incision during laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer .Methods:A total of 155 patients undergoing laparoscopic radical rectal cancer combined with prophylactic ileostomy at Peking University Third Hospital from Oct 2016 to Sep 2021 were retrospectively divided into two groups according to where the specimens were delivered through prophylactic colostomy incision (46 cases) or through newly made suprapubic incision (109 cases).Results:The by prophylactic colostomy incision delivery group had shorter surgery time [(243±66) min vs. (281±73) min, t=3.003, P<0.01] and shorter postoperative hospital stay [(7.5±2.2) d vs. (8.8±4.3）d， t=2.516， P<0.05], while there were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative blood transfusion, postoperative first time of flatus, surgery-related complications and ostomy-related complications between the two groups (all P>0.05). Though the ostomy size in the prevention colostomy group was larger ( P<0.01), but there were no significant differences in the ostomy related complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer with specimen delivery through a preventive ostomy incision is of more aesthetic advantages without causing higher postoperative complications.

Objective: This study examined the gut bacterial communities of dogs from different breeds, all kept under identical domestication conditions. Methods: Noninvasive sampling and 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing were used to compare the composition and function of the gut microbiota of three dog breeds: the Chinese Kunming dog (CKD), German Shepherd dog (GSD), and Belgian Malinois dog (BMD). Results: The gut microbiota of the three dog breeds consisted of 257 species across 146 genera, 60 families, 35 orders, 15 classes, and 10 phyla. The dominant bacterial phyla across the three breeds were Firmicutes (57.44%), Fusobacteriota (28.86%), and Bacteroidota (7.63%), while the dominant bacterial genera across the three breeds were Peptostreptococcus (21.08%), Fusobacterium (18.50%), Lactobacillus (12.37%), and Cetobacter (10.29%). Further analysis revealed significant differences in the intestinal flora of the three breeds at the phylum and genus levels. The intestinal flora of BMD was significantly richer than that of CKD and GSD. The functional prediction and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis showed that the primary functions of the gut microbiota in these breeds were similar, with significant enrichment in various metabolic pathways, including carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, and microbial metabolism in different environments. The intestinal flora of these breeds also played a crucial role in genetic information processing, including transcription, translation, replication, and material transport. Conclusions and Relevance: These results provide novel insights into the intestinal flora of intervention dogs and suggest novel methods to improve their health status, which help increase microbial diversity and normalize metabolite production in diseased dogs.
