Objective To search for the reasons of high positive rate of amotile bacteria and the diagnosis of septicemia in new-born Methods The blood was drawn from the different site of the new-born with septicemia and carricd out blood culture. The drug sensitivity test had been done by the method of paper stripdiffusion. The plasmids of bacteria were extracted rapidly by medified Birnboim method and the plasmid analyss was carried out. The plasmids's DNA of 35 epidemic strain was cut off by both restriction enzyme of Hind Ⅲ and EcoR Ⅰ. The outer membrane protein (OMP) was determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.Results There are 51 patients with positive blood culture amotile bacterium,of them, pollution; 35 cases (68．6%), septicemia: only 16 cases (31．4%),54．8% (57/104) strains bacteria have drug resistance to more of 12 drugs. 87．3% (165/189) strains bacteria have plasmids. They are cut off as 6 DNA fragments (1．9,2,4,5, 8．5 and 18Kb) by Hind Ⅲ restrietion enzyme. and as 5 DNA fragments (2,2．6,3．2, 6．3 and 22 Kb) by EcoR Ⅰrestrietion enzyme, it is showed that they come from a same clone. The epidemic strain include 10 slips OMP, but non-epidemic strain have 11 slip OMP, increase a 25Kd belt. The amotile bacteria with above-mentioned plasmid spectrum, restriction enzyme spectrum and OMP spectrum are only seen in the air, therapeutic dish and syringe needle.Conclusion The pollution is an important reason of amotile bactorium high positiye rate in new-born.Diagnosing septicemia should depend on bacteria culture, plasmid analysis restriction enzyme analysis of plasmid DNA, oMP determination and combining medical history and clinical manifestation.

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of tension-free vaginal tape(TVT) procedure in the treatment with elder female stress incontinence(SUI). Methods Six patients with proven SUI were undergone the TVT with SPRAC. Results Six patients were operated under low spinal anesthesia. Mean operation time was 31.6 minutes and the mean blood loss was 36.2 ml. Five patients were able to micturate spontaneously within 24 hours after operation. One patient with fatty and vaginal colpoptosis was in-dwelling catheter for one week. Patients were followed-up for 10-28 months. Five patients were completely cured and one patient was failed after operation three months. Two patients were de novo urgency. One patient complained of persistent suprapubic discomfort. Conclusions The tension-free vaginal tape operation is a safe and effective surgical procedure for the treatment of urinary stress incontinence with fatty vaginal colpoptosis in elderly females.

Objective To investigate factors affecting the metastasis of lymph nodes around the root of inferior mesenteric artery(IMA) in rectal cancer,and the significance of root lymph nodes dissection of IMA in radical surgery for rectal cancer.Methods Clinicopathological data of 105 rectal cancer patients undergoing root lymph node dissection of IMA during radical resection in Peking University First Hospital from January 2005 to December 2008 were analyzed retrospectively.Rectal cancer patients without root lymph node dissection of IMA during the same period served as control.Results were compared between these two groups for survival and local recurrence rates.Results The rate of lymph node metastasis around the origin of IMA was 9.5％ (10/105).The five-year survival rate in patients with IMA root nodal dissection was 71.3％,and that without was 70.6％ (P =0.995),while the local recurrence was respectively 1.9％ and 7.4％ (P ＜ 0.05).In multivariate analyses,IMA root nodal metastasis occurred more frequently in patients with pT3 and pT4 tumor(Wald =5.764,P ＜ 0.05) and poorly differentiated tumor(Wald =7.818,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Root lymph nodes dissection of IMA could not increase five-year survival rate,but it could reduce local recurrence rate in patients with rectal cancer.In radical surgery of rectal cancer,lymphadenectomy of IMA root should be performed in patients with T3 and T4 tumor with poorly differentiated tumor,so as to reduce local recurrence rate.

Objective To examine the association of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL) and interleukin 18(IL-18) with acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients after cardiac surgery. Methods Thirty-three patients undergone cardiac surgery were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group according to the AKI criteria. The Scr, urinary NGAL and IL-18 were measured at different time points. Results Nine of 33 patients (27.27%)developed postoperative AKI, and Scr concentration in AKI group reached its peak within 12-48 hours after cardiac surgery. Urinary concentrations of NGAL and IL-18 at 2 h and 4 h after cardiac surgery were significantly higher than those before operation in AKI patients (P<0.01). The urinary concentrations of NGAL at each time point and that of IL-18 at 2 h and 4 h after cardiac surgery in AKI patients were significantly higher than those in non-AKI patients. After correction by urinary creatinine, the differences of NGAL/Ucr and IL-18/Ucr ratios were still significant (P< 0.01). For concentrations of urinary NGAL, IL-18 and ratios of NGAL/Ucr, IL-18/Ucr at 2 h after surgery, sensitivities and specificities were good with cutoff values at 250 μg/L, 250 μg/mmol and 1800 ng/L, 1800 ng/mmol, respectively. Urinary concentration of NGAL at 2 h after cardiac surgery was positively correlated with Scr at 12 h postoperation in AKI group (r=0.638, P<0.05).Conclusions The incidence of AKI in patients after cardiac surgery is quite high. Urinary concentrations of NGAL, IL-18 and ratios of NGAL/Ucr, IL-18/Ucr at 2 h after cardiac surgery are the early diagnostic markers for AKI, among which urinary NGAL/Ucr is the most sensitive one.

OBJECTIVETo explore the amplification and expression status of DAPK1 and CD147 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and their relationship with the prognosis of ESCC.

METHODSImmunohistochemical staining and RT-PCR were used to detect the expression and amplification of DAPK1 and CD147 in esophageal squamous carcinoma tissue and normal esophageal mucosa. Statistical analysis of the clinocopathological data was performed with SPSS 11.5 software package.

RESULTSThe positive rates of expression of DAPK1 protein and CD147 protein in the specimens of esophageal carcinoma were 31.3% and 58.5%, and in normal esophageal mucosa 57.5% and 25.0%, respectively, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.001). The expressions of DAPK1 and CD147 were significant correlated with invasion depth, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage and the degree of cancer differentiation. (P < 0.05). The negative expression of DAPK1 and positive expression of CD147 indicated a poor prognosis. In 52 ESCC cases, the expression of DAPK1 in cancer tissues was 0.236 ± 0.049, and 0.395 ± 0.058 in normal esophageal mucosa, while that of CD147 mRNA expression was 0.942 ± 0.204 and 0.821 ± 171, respectively, statistically both with a very significant difference (P < 0.01). There was a higher expression level of DAPK1 mRNA in the cancer tissue in patients with no lymph node metastasis, well differentiation, and earlier pathological stage, and a higher expression level of CD147 mRNA in the cancer tissues in patients with lymph node metastasis, poor differentiation, and later pathological stage.

CONCLUSIONSThe expression of DAPK1 and CD147 proteins is closely correlated with the clinicopathological characteristics of ESCC. The genes DAPK1 and CD147 may participate in the metastasis and apoptosis of ESCC. The expression of DAPK1 and CD147 may be used as important prognostic predictors in ESCC.

Objective To verify the safety and advantages of total transperitoneal laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (ttLNU) in the treatment of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).Methods From Jun.2013 to Jun.2014,there were 13 UTUC patients treated with ttLNU,including 7 males and 6 females.The mean age was 70.4 ± 8.3 yrs,and BMI was 23.3±4.1.Of them,11 cases were diagnosed with renal pelvis carcinoma,6 in the left and 5 in the right.2 cases were diagnosed with left ureteral carcinoma.TNM stages were T1-T3N0M0.Patients were put on lateral position and the position was not changed during the operation.A ttLNU was performed,and the specimen was removed from the middle extended inferior umbilical incision.Results The mean operative time was 188±33 (150-240) min,the intraoperative blood loss was 150.5±60.1 (50-700) ml,and the time of out-of-bed activity was between 1 and 4 d.The mean postoperative drainage time was 6.8±4.6 (3-6) d.The mean postoperative bowel function recovery time was 1.5± 1.0 (2-4) d and postoperative hospital stay was 12.8±7.0 (3-27) d.The ttLNU procedures were successfully performed in all cases without conversion to open surgery.Pathological results showed urothelial carcinoma in all cases,including 8 high grade and 5 low grade.All the surgical margins were negative.The followed up was from 2 to 12 mon,and there was no tumor recurrence and metastasis found.Conclusions Total transperitoneal laparoscopic nephroureterectomy in the treatment of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma is characterized by short operative time,low blood loss,decreased trauma and quick recovery.This is a safe and effective treatment option for the treatment of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of treating glioma in combination with drugs multiply by comparing the size of tumor and the survival time of different groups in rat glioma after targeted blood-brain barrier (BBB ) disruption by MRI-guided focused ultrasound.Methods The stereotaxis instruments and the 10 μl gas-tight syringes were used to inject gliosarcoma cells into the targeted area of the brain in 50 male Sprague-Dawley rats.The glioma-bearing rat model was established.Each rat received either:(1 )no treatment (control;n =8);(2)single liposomal doxorubicin (DOX;n = 10);(3)multiple DOX (n =10);(4)single Avastin (AVS)and DOX (n =10);(5)multiple AVS and DOX (n =10).The SonoVue microbubble ultrasonic contrast agent and DOX or AVS were injected into the tail vein respectively on day 12 after implantation.The tumor size was measured by MRI on pre-treatment,immediacy and once a week of post-treatment after targeted BBB disruption by focused ultrasound,and the life span in rat glioma was recorded.Results The mediam survival of different groups in rat glioma(The range of the life span 13-90 d):no treatment (7 d);single DOX (12 d);multiple DOX (1 5 d);single AVS + DOX (22 d), multiple AVS+ DOX (30 d).There was significant difference of the groups on mediam survival comparison (P < 0.01 ).The tumor growth pattern after post-treatment of different groups in rat glioma except control:single DOX was noticeable fast and multiple AVS+DOX was visibly delayed comparable to other groups,and finally the tumor size of multiple AVS + DOX even became small.Conclusions The microbubble blasting enhances the local tissue permeability and promotes the drug delivery of chemotherapy and anti-angiogenesis locally in glioma-bearing rats by MRI-guided focused ultrasound.Especially,the combination with drugs multiply has a synergism efficacy that may enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy,reduce tumor growth,and even become small of the tumor size,and increase survival time significantly after BBB disruption.

Objective To compare the urodynamic parameters in female patients with incontinence with or without pelvic organ prolapse. Methods The urodynamic data from 140 patients diagnosed urinary incontinence and another 42 patients coexisted with pelvic organ prolapse were reviewed and analyzed. The urodynamics parameters were compared in perfusion, urination, bladder compliance, maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), detrusor muscle pressure of maximum urinary flow rate (Pdet,Qmax), minimum urinary flow rate(Pdet, Qmax), urethral resistance factor (RUA), obstruction of bladder index (OBI) and normalized detrusor contractility. The influence of pelvic organ prolapses with incontinence on bladder filling and voiding function was evaluated also.Results There were no significant differences between 140 patients of urinary incontinence and 42 patients coexisted with pelvic organ prolapse in perfusion (P=0.142), bladder compliance (P=0.273), Qmax(P=0.192),Pdet (P=-0. 629), Qmin (P=0.365) and normalized detrusor contractility (P=0.380). There were significant differences in age(P=2.2×10-5), urination(P=0.034), Pdet.Qmax(P=0.045), RUA(P=0.018), OBI (P=0.017). Conclusions There is not clinically significant change in urine storage function of bladder in patients with pelvic organ prolapse, but the parameters of voiding function of bladder may existe difference. The increased bladder outlet resistance and postvoid residual urine are noticed in patients with pelvic organ prolapse.

ObjectiveTo explore the value of conventional echocardiography and transthoracic real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) in diagnosis of Ebstein anomaly.MethodsWe investigated the morphology and function of right ventricle (RV) as well as the structure, morphology and regurgitation of tricuspid valve in 61 adult patients with Ebstein anomaly before surgery by using conventional echocardiography and transthoracic RT3DE. Twenty normal adults were enrolled as control group. ResultsThe surface of the tricuspid leaflets, the morphology of the tricuspid annulus as well as the three-dimensional structure of the tricuspid valve were displayed stereoscopically by RT3DE. Complete RV volume data could be acquired in 32 patients of Ebstein anomaly. The apex or part of RV could not be contained in the remaining 29 patients. Thirty-four (55.7%) patients with Ebstein anomaly had severe tricuspid regurgitation,
16 (26.2%) patients had moderate to severe regurgitation, and 11 (18.1%) patients had moderate regurgitation. Compared with the normal adults, patients of Ebstein anomaly showed higher RV end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), end-diastolic volume index (EDVI), end-systolic volume index (ESVI), stroke volume (SV), RV anterior-posterior diameter (RV), tricuspid valve annular transverse diameter (TV-R), and lower RV ejection fraction(EF) [(273.5±77.7) mlvs (74.3±15.9) ml, (187.1±96.8) mlvs (31.1±9.2) ml, (177.4±53.6) ml/m2vs (43.4±8.2) ml/m2, (121.7±65.5) ml/m2vs (18.4±5.1) ml/m2, (95.9±20.2) ml vs (43.6±8.8) ml, (48.1±13.3) ml/m2vs (19.0±1.9) ml/m2, (56.4±8.9) ml/m2vs (28.5±4.3) ml/m2, (38.3±12.8) %vs (59.3±5.1) %, allP<0.05). The tricuspid regurgitant orifice flow cross-sectional area (EROA) were correlated positively with RV anterior-posterior diameter (r=0.691), ratio of RV and LV anterior-posterior diameter (RV/LV) (r=0.6471).ConclusionTransthoracic RT3DE is a feasible method in addition to conventional two-dimensional echocardiography in evaluation of tricuspid valve mophology and function, as well as RV volume and EF in adult patients with Ebstein anomaly.
