Objective To investigate the trend in incidence, causative drugs, clinical types and treatment of drug eruption. Methods Clinical data were collected from 922 inpatients with drug eruption in Huashan Hospital, Fudan University from January 2009 to December 2013, and analyzed retrospectively. Results From 2009 to 2013, the percentage of inpatients with drug eruption among all inpatients in the Department of Dermatology in a given year varied from 9.45% to 10.01%, and the percentage of inpatients with severe drug eruption among inpatients with drug eruption from 17.45% to 28.24%. Of the 922 cases, 371 (40.2%)were caused by single drugs, and 551 (59.8%)by multiple drugs. Among the 371 cases of drug eruption caused by single drugs, the top five causative drugs were traditional Chinese medicine(72 cases), cephalosporins(38 cases), amoxicillin(27 cases), antipyretic analgesics(26 cases)and tetanus antitoxin (24 cases)in 278 cases of non-severe drug eruption, antiepileptic agents (33 cases), allopurinol (28 cases), antipyretic analgesics (7 cases), cephalosporins (6 cases)and traditional Chinese medicine (6 cases)in 93 cases of severe drug eruption. Of the 922 patients, 422 (45.8%)presented with maculopapular eruption, 259 (28.1%)with urticaria, 135(14.6%)with Stevens-Johnson syndrome, 49(5.3%)with toxic epidermal necrolysis, 33(3.6%)with drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), and 7 (0.8%)with acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP). A total of 791 (85.8%)patients with drug eruption received glucocorticoid treatment. The dose of glucocorticoids was(47.61 ± 12.07)mg prednisone equivalent per day in 550 patients with non-severe drug eruption, and (73.10 ± 18.23)mg prednisone equivalent per day in 221 patients with severe drug eruption. Totally, 110 (11.0%) patients with drug eruption were treated with combined intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)because of poor response to glucocorticoids alone. Of 224 patients with severe drug eruption, only 2 (0.9%)died. Conclusions Carbamazepine and allopurinol are the main causative drugs for severe drug eruption, while traditional Chinese medicine is the first causative drug for non-severe drug eruption. From 2009 to 2013, the annual mortality of severe drug eruption decreased considerably.

OBJECTIVE To study the expression of Toll-like recptor2(TLR2)and Toll-like receptor4(TLR4) in the fungal rhinosinusitis tissues,and to explore the role of TLR2 and TLR4 in the pathogenesis of fungal rhinosinusitis.METHODS The mRNA and protein expression of TLR2 and TLR4 were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT- PCR)and immunohistochemistry(IHC)in 24 fungal rhinosinusitis tissues,24 chronic rhinosinusitis tissues,and 15 normal mucosa of inferior turbinate. RESULTS The mRNA expression of TLR2 and TLR4 in fungal rhinosinusitis tissues(0.208?0.063,0.159?0.059)was significantly decreased compared with that in chronic rhinosinusitis(0.505?0.097,0.406?0.102)and normal inferior turbinate tissues(0.327?0.047;0.232?0.088).The protein expression rates of TLR2 and TLR4 in fungal rhinosinusitis tissues (3/24,4/24)were significantly lower than that in chronic rhinosinusitis(20/24,21/24)and normal inferior turbinate tissues(7/15,8/15)by IHC study. CONCLUSION The lower expression of TLR2 and TLR4 in fungal rhinosinusitis tissues indicates that the declined role of TLR-mediated innate immune responses in the defensive reaction of anti-fungal in sinonasal mucosa,which may be one of the reasons for dropped clearance rate and increased susceptibility to fungi.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of Q?SPECT, CTPA, Q?SPECT/CT, and Q?SPECT/CTPA for pulmonary embolism (PE) in rabbit models. Methods (1) The PE models were constructed by injecting Gelfoam into the femoral vein of New Zealand rabbits ( n=30) . Q?SPECT, CTPA, Q?SPECT/CT and Q?SPECT/CTPA fusion images were obtained by integrated SPECT/CT. (2) All images were interpreted by two experienced nuclear radiologists who were blind to pathologic findings. The locations and numbers of lung lobes with PE were recorded respectively. ( 3) Serial sectioning of the lungs was per?formed and pathologically determined. (4) Se, Sp and Ac of different methods were compared using McNemar test;PPV and NPV were compared usingχ2 test. Kappa test was used to analyze the consistency between two nuclear radiologists. Kappa values<0.40 were interpreted as poor consistency, 0.40 to 0.75 as moderate con?sistency, >0.75 as good consistency. Results (1) Histologically confirmed emboli were present in a total of 26 pulmonary lobes and absent in 79 lobes. (2)The Se, Sp, Ac, PPV, and NPV of 4 imaging methods were:53.8%(14/26), 93.7%(74/79), 83.8%(88/105), 14/19, 86.0%(74/86) for Q?SPECT;73.1%(19/26), 96.2%(76/79), 90.5%(95/105), 86.4%(19/22), 91.6%(76/83) for CTPA;76.9%(20/26), 93.7%(74/79), 89.5%(94/105), 80.0%(20/25), 92.5%(74/80)for Q?SPECT/CT;88.5%(23/26), 91.1%(72/79), 90.5%(95/105), 76.7%(23/30), 96.0%(72/75) for Q?SPECT/CTPA. (3) McNemar test showed Q?SPECT/CT and Q?SPECT/CTPA had higher diagnostic Se for the detection of PE than Q?SPECT (χ2=4.167, 7.111, both P<0.05) , but without any significant difference with CTPA in diagnostic efficiency (χ2=0-2.250, all P>0.05) . Q?SPECT/CT had higher diagnostic Ac than Q?SPECT (χ2=4.167, P<0.05) . There was no significant difference between Q?SPECT/CT and Q?SPECT/CTPA in diagnostic effi?ciency (χ2=0.001-1.333, all P>0.05). (4)Kappa values of 4 imaging methods for radiologist 1 and 2 were 0.902, 0.915, 0.973, and 0.884. Conclusions Q?SPECT/CT imaging provides good Se and Sp. The diag?nostic efficiency of Q?SPECT/CT is better than that of Q?SPECT and is corresponded roughly to the efficien?cy of CTPA, Q?SPECT/CTPA. The diagnosis of two radiologists on Q?SPECT/CT images has the best con?sistency.

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to develop a scale for measuring the perinatal bereavement care competence of midwives and assess its psychometric properties. Methods: The Perinatal Bereavement Care Competence Scale was developed in four phases. (1) Item generation: 75 items were formulated based on a literature review and interviews with midwives. (2) Delphi expert consultation: 15 experts evaluated whether the items were clear/appropriate/relevant to the questionnaire dimensions, and the items were optimized. (3) Pilot test: The comprehensibility, acceptability, and time required to complete the questionnaire by midwives were assessed. (4) Evaluation of reliability and validity: The scale was validated by initial item analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and internal consistency reliability and testeretest reliability. Results: The final scale consisted of six dimensions and 25 items: maintaining belief (three items), knowing (four items), being with (six items), preserving dignity (four items), enabling (five items), and self-adjustment (three items). Exploratory factor analysis yielded a six-factor structure that was consistent with the theoretical framework and explained 70.8% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a good fit for the six-factor model. Cronbach's a for the scale was 0.931, and the test eretest reliability coefficient was 0.968. Conclusion The Perinatal Bereavement Care Competence Scale is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring the competence of midwives in caring for bereaved parents who have experienced perinatal loss.

Objective To investigate the influence of aspirin and/or clopidogrel treatment on platelet aggregation rate in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients,and discuss the factors related to anti-platelet drug resistance.Methods A total of 160 patients with CHD and received aspirin and/or clopidogrel treatment were enrolled in the Second Xiangya Hospital,Central South University,and were divided into stable coronary heart disease (SCHD) group (n =90) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) group (n =70).Meanwhile,non-coronary heart disease (NCHD) patients who did not receive anti-platelet drug treatment were enrolled as controls (n =50).Clinical data of the subjects were recorded.The maximum platelet aggregation rate induced by arachidonic acid (MAR-AA) and adenosine diphosphate (MAR-ADP) were evaluated with sequential platelet counting method.The factors related to drug resistance were analyzed with Logistic regression analysis.Results Compared to NCHD group,there were lower MAR-AA and MAR-ADP in two groups of CHD (all P ＜ 0.05).In ACS patients,MAR-AA and MAR-ADP are significantly lower (P ＜0.05) in patients who receive the aspirin and clopidogrel.The rate of anti-platelet drug resistance in ACS group was significantly higher than that in SCHD group (20.0％ vs 10.0％,P ＜ 0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low HDL-C (＜ 1.0 mmol/L) was an independent risk factor related to the anti-platelet drug resistance (OR =4.36,95 ％ CI:1.36-14.02,P =0.025).Conclusions The antiplatelet treatment with aspirin and/or clopidogrel can significantly reduce the platelet reactivity in CHD patients,but some patients still present anti-platelet drug resistance.The combination of aspirin and clopidogrel is better.The rate of drug resistance in ACS patients is high.Low HDL-C might be associated with anti-platelet drug resistance.

Objective To evaluate the effect of sevoflurane anesthesia on the expression of hippocampal α4 subunit-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α4nAChR) in rats.Methods One hundred and forty-four Sprague-Dawley rats of both sexes,aged 3-4 months,weighing 220-270 g,were divided into 4 groups (n =36 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),sevoflurane anesthesia for 1 h group (group S1),sevoflurane anesthesia for 3 h group (group S2) and sevoflurane anesthesia for 5 h group (group S3).Group C inhaled air,and S1,S2 and S3 groups inhaled 3％ sevoflurane for 1,3 and 5 h,respectively.Twelve rats in each group were selected at 1 and 7 days after emergence from anesthesia to undergo spatial probe test.Rats were then sacrificed immediately after anesthesia and at 1 and 7 days after emergence from anesthesia,and hippocampi were removed for determination of the expression of α4nAchR protein and mRNA in hippocampal neurons (by Western blot or real-time polymerase chain reaction).Results Compared with group C,the duration of staying at the target quadrant was significantly shortened,and the ratio of duration of staying at the original platform quadrant to the total duration and ratio of swimming distance in the original platform quadrant to the total distance were decreased on 1 and 7 days after emergence from anesthesia,the expression of α4nAchR protein and mRNA was down-regulated,and the number of positive cells was reduced in S1,S2 and S3 groups (P＜0.05).Compared with S1 and S2 groups,the duration of staying at the target quadrant was significantly shortened,the ratio of duration of staying at the original platform quadrant to the total duration and ratio of swimming distance in the original platform quadrant to the total distance were decreased on 1 day after emergence from anesthesia in group S3 (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the expression of α4nAchR protein and mRNA or number of positive cells at each time point between group S1,group S2 and group S3 (P＞0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which sevoflurane anesthesia induces cognitive dysfunction may be partially related to down-regulating the expression of hippocampal α4nAchR in rats.
