Objective To evaluate the relationship between the concentration of nitric oxide (NO) and cytological change in cerebrospinal fluid ( CSF ) and the onset of neurocysticercosis in patients. . Methods. NO Level in CSF was detected in 30 cases of neurocysticercosis, 20 cases of tuberculous meningitis (TBM) and 20 healthy people as control by using Griess method. The cytological components in CSF were also examined.. Results and Conclusion . Griess method was proved to be a rapid and accurate technique for the detection of NO content in CSF. The NO concentration in cases of neurocysticercosis and TBM was significantly higher than that of control(P

Objective To investigate the level of serum procalcitonin (PCT) for exploring the clinical value in identifying microorganism strains in the intensive care unit (ICU) patients with blood stream infections.Methods A retrospective analysis of patients with positive blood culture of a single strain and with serum PCT levels detected simultaneously was carried out from January 2010 through December 2012.The comparisons of PCT levels were done among Gram-negative (G-) bacteria,Gram-positive (G +) bacteria and fungi in patients with bloodstream infections.The diagnostic performance of PCT was determined by the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC).Results A total of 524 patients with blood stream infection were enrolled and categorized into three different groups,namely G-bacteria infection group (n =206),G + bacteria infection group (n =276),and fungi infection group (n =42).The median value of PCT level of G-bacteria group was 14.9 ng/ml,which was significantly higher than that of the other two groups with 0.14 ng/ml and 1.76 ng/ml,respectively (P < 0.01).Further,the PCT level of fungi group also obviously higher than that of G + bacteria group (P < 0.001).According to ROC,PCT level at 2.11 ng/ml could distinguish G-bacteria infection from G + bacteria infection with sensitivity 82.8% and specificity 80.1%,while PCT at 5.09 ng/ml was used to distinguish G-bacteria infection from fungi infection with sensitivity 68% and specificity 73.8%.The area under the ROC of G + bacteria and fungi was 33.0% (P < O.01).Conclusions Serum PCT level is valid for distinguishing ICU patients with blood stream infection caused by G-bacteria from G+ bacteria or from fungi,but the validity of PCT for distinguishing G + bacteria from fungi infection needs to be set up by further studies.

Objective To investigate the values of three-dimensional visualization technology in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of hepatic hemangioma. Methods Thirty two patients with hepatic hemangioma who had been hospitalized during the period from July 2010 to January 2014 in our hospital were scanned by 64-slice spiral computerized tomography (CT) before surgical treatment. Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction based on the CT data was carried out to achieve dignosis and surgical planning. Assisted with the 3D model , we chose the best surgical procedure for liver resection, protecting the major blood vessels near hemangioma and retaining normal liver tissue as far as possible. Results The location, size and shape of hepatic hemangioma, vascular variation, and spatial relationship with intrahepatic vessel were shown factually by three-dimensional reconstruction. All the hemangiomas were preoperatively assessed to be resectable. The compliance rate for preoperative surgical planning to actual surgery was 100%. Under assistance of the 3D model during surgery , 14 patients received laparoscopic hepatectomy and 18 underwent hepatectomy. Pringle′s maneuver was applied in 18 patients , with blocking time of (15.32 ± 7.12) min and blood loss of (188.63 ± 66.37) mL. The postoperative complications included pleural effusion in 5 patients and incision infection in one patients. Conclusions Three-dimensional visualization technology for the individualized diagnosis and treatment of hepatic hemangioma helps reduce surgical trauma and incidence of postoperative complications.

Objective To study comprehensive nursing meassures for small area of diabetic foot ulcer. Methods A total of 58 patients with small area of diabetic foot ulcer in our department were divided into two groups.The comprehensive nursing group (CN group,30 cases) adopted comprehensive nursing and treatment as follows, surgical dcbridement, infrared radiation of wound surface,sprinkling of growth factors(bFGF and rhEGF),covered by hydrocolloid dressing(Algoplaque).The control group(28cases) received hydropathic compress with 0.5% povidone iodine or 5% furacillin solution.Wound heal-ing progreasion,average healing time and the positive rate of wound germiculture of the two groups were observed. Results The average healing time of the CN group was (29.6±9.4)d,which was shorter than that of the control group,( 39.2±13.5 )d, P < 0.05. Statistical difference existed in the positive rate of wound germiculture at the 7th day and the 14th day between the two groups (P < 0.05). Conclusions Routine medical treatment and general nursing measures plus surgical debridement,infrared radiation of wound sur-face,sprinkling of growth factors and hydrocolloid dressing possess facilitative healing effect for small area of diabetic foot ulcer.

Objective To explore the effect of ACE-inhibitor perindopril on the expression of scavenger receptor A (SR-A) gene in the kidney of diabetic rats.Methods Diabetes were induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by peritoneal injection with streptozotocin (60mg/kg).The rats were then random di vided into normal control group, diabetes group and ACEI treatment group [4mg/(kg·d) for 24 weeks].Blood glucose concentration and 24h urinary albumin excretion were determined.The renal morphological change was observed.Immunohistochemistry was used to analyze CD68 positive macrophages,and the Mrna of SR-A in renal tissue was detected by quantitative real-time PCR.Results Compared with normal control group,blood glucose concentration,24h urinary albumin excretion and the number of CD68 positive macrophages were significantly increased [(5.3 ± 0.6) mmol/L vs (26.7 ± 3.3) mmol/L;(2.7 ± 1.3) mg/24h vs (26.7 ± 1.8)mg/24h;(0.77 ±0.24)/gcs vs (2.55 ±0.46)/gcs;(6.13 ±0.50)/HPF vs (11.9 ±2.12)/HPF;P <0.05],and the expression of SR-A Mrna were significantly up-regulated in diabetes group [ (5.6 ± 1.2 vs 1.5 ±0.2),P <0.05].After intervention with ACE-inhibitor,the up-regulations of the above mentioned parameters,except blood glucose concentration,were all significantly inhibited [ (3.6 ±1.4)mg/24h;(1.03±0.37)/gcs;(8.28±1.19)/HPF;3.4±0.7;P <0.05].Conclusion ACE-inhibitor might have renoprotective effects of diabetic nephropathy,it probably was associated with inhibiting the expression of SR-A gene.

Pancreatic cancer is malignant with a poor prognosis,and its incidence is rising worldwide in recent years.Multiple slices spiral computed tomography and computed angiography are the first choice for the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer,while misdiagnosis of pancreatic cancer still exists.From August 2009 to October 2011,80 patients with pancreatic or periampullary cancer were diagnosed using the medical image three dimensional visualization system (MI-3DVS).The threedimensional models of the liver,pancreas,vascular system and tumors were reconstructed successfully based on the 64-slice spiral computed tomography data.According to the analysis of the three dimensional models,4 patients underwent standard pancreaticoduodenectomy,1 received palliative surgery.MI3DVS plays an important role in the diagnosis and assessement of resectability of pancreatic and periampullary cancer.
