ObjectiveTo study the effect of SSY-B2 on improvement of learning/memory function of rats with bilateral fornix/fimbria transection.MethodsMale adult SD rats were divided randomly into 6 groups as sham group,model group,positive control agent piracetam group, SSY-B2 low(1.5g crude drug/kg), medium(3g crude drug/kg)and high dosage (6g crude drug/kg)group. Half to 1 hour before operation, water or drugs were fed introgastrically to each group respectively. From the fourth week, Morris water maze and tunnel water maze tests were used. Escape latency of rats in Morris test, escape latency and errors in tunnel test were recorded.ResultsIn both Morris test and tunnel water maze test, low dosage and medium of SSY-B2 markedly shorten the escape latency or reduced the errors.ConclusionsSSY-B2 can ameliorate spatial learning/memory dysfunction produced by fornix/fimbria transection. Functional compensation in other neural structure other than regeneration of the septohippocampal pathway is considered to be responsible for the effects.

Objective To study whether methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)will increase the burden of patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP).Methods Patients with Staphylococcus aureus HAP in a hospital between January 1 ,2013 and November 31 ,2014 were selected,patients with MRSA HAP were as case group,patients with methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA)HAP were as control group,propen-sity score matching (PSM)analysis were conducted to compare the prognosis of MRSA HAP and MSSA HAP (length of hospital stay, duration from infection to discharge, mortality, total therapeutic cost ). Results APACHE II score in case group was higher than control group before PSM was conducted,length of hos-pital stay and duration from infection to discharge were both longer than control group (40[20,94]d vs 28[21 ,53] d;19[10,46]d vs 17[8,29]d,respectively,both P <0.05).APACHE II score in case group and control group af-ter conducting PSM was not significantly different(P >0.05 ),data were balanced and comparable;there were no significant difference in length of hospital stay between two groups (28[21 ,52]d vs 28[21 ,53]d),duration from in-fection to discharge (15[9,25]d vs17[8,29]d),mortality(10.87% vs 15.22%),and total therapeutic cost (121 013.5[80 747.21 ,176 200]yuan vs 119 911 .2[66 994.08,241 184.7]yuan)(all P >0.05).Conclusion APACHE II score is an important factor affecting prognosis;after balancing this factor,there is no difference in the prognosis of patients with MRSA and MSSA HAP,MRSA HAP can not increase the burden of disease.

Risk factors of hyperamylasemia in 152 diabetic ketoacidosis(DKA)patients who had no acute pancreatitis were examined.Serum levels of hemodiastase,natrium,kalium,chlorine,calcium,phosphonium,creatinine,carbon dioxide combining power,osmotic pressure,blood glucose,blood lipids and uric acid were measured.With hemodiastase and other 14 factors as independent variables,the multiple linear regression analysis was performed and the partial regression coefficient was estimated.Blood glucose,serum natrium,osmotic pressure and triglyceride entered the regression equation,and their partial coefficients were 10.26,10.35,2.21 and 8.00,respectively.The constant quantitv was -2162.06.Compared with amylase-normal group,hyperamylasemia group showed statistically significant difference in blood glucose,serum natrium,osmotic pressure and triglyceride levels.Higher blood glucose and triglyceride might be the primary causes of hyperamylasemia.

Objective To analyze the present medical teaching textbooks and practice skill guidelines,and explore the profound causes of poor hand hygiene idea among doctors.Methods Three sets of unified textbook series used for domestic medical colleges and universities and two sets of manipulation skill guidelines were studies.Statistical method was conducted to analyze whether concepts and methods of hand hygiene,hand-washing and antiseptic han-drubbing were included in these teaching textbooks;as to eight aseptic manipulation skills,coverage of knowledge, steps of hand-washing and antiseptic handrubbing in manipulation skill guidelines were also analyzed.Results The mentioning rate of hand hygiene,hand-washing and antiseptic handrubbing in 8-year and 5-year program teaching textbooks were both 0 ,in nursing teaching textbooks was 1 00 % ;as to 8 aseptic manipulation in 2 sets of skill practice guidelines,mentioning rate of hand washing was 37 .50 % ,and method and steps of antiseptic handrubbing were both 0 .Conclusion School teaching and skill assessment are the basis,it is difficult to form the right idea by only relying on continuing education without basic education.Hand hygiene should be stressed in the written of teaching textbooks,guidelines should be written following the newest progress,so as to form the correct idea of hand hygiene among doctors.

The experiment aimed to study the toxic effect of oral ricin on gastrointestinal tract and immune organs of mice with the dose of 1/5 LD50.In early days of intoxication,there was an obviously decrease in daffy weight and relative weight of thymus and spleen,fllowing the excretion of toxin,they had a trend of recovering to the normal state.Also,results of pathological section,scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope showed that ricin would induce a series of pathological reaction in intestines,meanwhile,the splenocytes displayed significant symptom of apoptosis and necrosis.

Objective To study the increased radiosensitivity of tumor cells by triterpene acids of loquat leaf (TAL) and mechanism.Methods C6 and MG63 cells were pretreated by TAL,and then were exposed to X-rays at 1,2,3,5,7 Gy.Clonogenic assay was used to evaluate those tumor cells survival fraction (SF) to calculate the sensitization enhancement ratios (SER) of TAL.The cellular micronuclei ratios of tumor cells were analyzed by micronuclei assay.Additionally,the changes of Rad51 and XRCC4 levels were observed by RT-PCR and Western blot.Results D0 values were decreased to 1.31 and 2.85 Gy in C6 and MG63 cells by TAL pretreatment respectively.The SER value of the effect of TAL on C6 and MG63 cells was 1.73 and 2.04,respectively.There was a statistical difference in the cellular micronuclei ratios between tumor cells with TAL above 2 Gy and those without TAL (C6:t =-8.372--2.476,P ＜0.05 ; MG63:t =-4.03--2.557,P ＜ 0.05).TAL attenuated the expression of XRCC4 at transcriptional and translational level,but not for Rad51,a key gene in homologous recombination repair (HRR).Conclusions TAL pretreatment could increase the lethal effect of X-rays on tumor cells in vitro.The mechanism might be involved in the inhibition of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ).

Objective To realize the effect of WHO multimodal hand hygiene improvement strategy (MHHIS)on improving hand hygiene compliance of health care workers(HCWs).Methods From June to December 2012,HCWs in a hospital was intervened by adopting MHHIS,hand hygiene compliance rate before and after intervention was com-pared,and effectiveness of intervention was assessed.Results Hand hygiene compliance of doctors and nurses improved from 14.06%(35/249)and 28.62%(81/283)before intervention to 31.73%(79/249)and 57.60%(163/283)after inter-vention respectively(both P <0.05).Except outpatient and emergency department,hand hygiene compliance of the other departments significantly improved (all P <0.05);hand hygiene compliance of various hand hygiene indicators significantly improved except ‘after contact with patient surrounding’(all P <0.05),the differences were statistically different (P<0.05).Conclusion Using WHO MHHIS can effectively improve hand hygiene compliance of HCWs.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the influence of the endothelial cells on the scar-derived fibroblasts in the hypertropic scar tissue.

METHODSThe endothelial cell from the human umbilical vein was cultured and its supernatant was then collected. Thereafter, it was mixed with the pre-cultured scar-derived fibroblasts from the hypertropic scar tissue. The fibroblasts were analyzed with a flow cytometer in a MTT-assay method to evaluate the cell proliferation and its division cycle.

RESULTSThe endothelial cells were significantly increasing the scar-derived fibroblast proliferation (P < 0.05), compared with the control. The proportion of the fibroblasts in the S-stage of cell cycle was also quite high.

CONCLUSIONThe endothelial cells may secrete some active products, which may enhance the proliferation of the scar-derived fibroblasts and stimulate the fibroblasts into the S-stage of cell generation cycle.
