Objective To investigate the histological injury as well as the risk factors for the course of HBeAg-negative chronic hep-atitis B virus( HBV)-infected patients with persistently normal alanine aminotransferase ( ALT) levels ( PNAL) . Methods Ninty four patients of HBeAg-negative chronic HBV-infected with PNAL were performed liver puncturing. The ALT, HBV markers, and liver histo-logical changes were detected. The gender, age, family history, HBV-DNA and HBsAg levels were compared between different patients with liver inflammation and fibrosis. And the Logistic model was used during the analysis of independent risk factor. Results Among 94 cases, patients with inflammatory necrosis classification≥G2 accounted for 74. 5%, fibrosis grading≥S2 accounted for 27. 7%. Patients in the group of inflammatory necrosis classification≥G2 was older than the group of < G2, and the ALT level of≥G2 group was higher, as well as a higher HBV-DNA. What is more,Patients in the group of inflammatory necrosis classification ≥G2 were mainly male, and were associated with a family history of hepatitis B. Patients in the group of fibrosis stage ≥S2 was older than < S2 group, and the ALT level of fibrosis stage ≥S2 group was higher. And those patients were often associated with a family history of hepatitis B, but there was no significant difference among the HBV-DNA level and gender constitution. HBV-DNA and family history were the independent risk fac-tors of liver inflammation necrosis≥G2, and family history was the only independent risk factor of fibrosis stage≥S2. Conclusion The patients of HBeAg-negative chronic HBV-infected with PNAL, regardless of the ALT and HBV-DNA, must have a liver biopsy. The pa-tients with high level of HBV-DNA and with a family history of hepatitis B should be performed liver puncturing accordingly.

Ojective To determine the risk factors and the clinical distribution of multiple drug resistant bacteria in stroke- associated pneumonia (SAP) patients with multiple drug-resistant bacterial infections from in-tensive care unit, providing guidance for clinical treatment of SAP. Methods A retrospective study was de-signed to analyze the clinical data of the SAP patients from January 2012 to December 2015. Univariate analysis and multivariable regression analysis were taken for risk factors of MDR infections , and investigated the distribu-tion and drug resistance of MDR. Results There were 183 SAP patients, of which 131patients (71.6%) had MDR infection. There are 193 MDR strains in the 131 patients , the first 5 MDR strains were Acinetobacter bau-mannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. MDR in-fection is highly associated with sever unconsciousness , time of stay in ICU longer than 7 days , ventilator time longer than 7 days and late-onset pneumonia and the difference was significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion SAP patients with MDR bacterial infections are in association with the following risk factors: sever unconsciousness , time of stay in ICU longer than 7 days, ventilator time longer than 7 days and late-onset pneumonia. The rate of MDR bacterial infections was high , and these MDR strains were widely different degrees of resistance to many antibiotics.

Objective To observe the effects of Ulinastatin on pulmonary vascular endothelium permeability and respiratory function in patients with extrapulmonary acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS exp). Methods The data of 39 patients with ARDS exp were retrospectively analyzed.According to whether treated with Ulinastatin or not, all patients were divided into Ulinastatin group(n = 21)and control group(n = 18); The level of extravascular lung water index (EVLWI), pulmonary vascular permeability index(PVPI) and respiratory function were measured before and after the treatment. Results The mortality rate of Ulinastatin group was lower than that of control group (28.6% vs 38.9%). The time of decreasing EVLWI, PVPI and improving PaO2/FiO and respiratory function in Ulinastatin group was shorter than that of control group, and the effect was superior. Conclusion Ulinastatin could reduce EVLWI and PVPI, improve pulmonary compliance and oxygenation, and reduce mortality rate in patients with extrapulmonary acute respiratory distress.
