Objective To investigate the pathogen distribution and drug sensitivity in childhood bacillary dysentery,and to guide clinically the selection of reasonable antibiotics.Methods Bacterial drug susceptibility test was performed by standard Kirby-Bauer method.The results were interpreted according to NCCLS 2002.Results Of the 98 cases,there were two types of positive bacterial species:sh.flexneri(n = 77)and sh.sonnei(n = 21).Both sh.flexneri and sh.sonnei were sensitive to cefoperazone,eeftazidime,ceftriaxone,cefoperazone/sulbactam and fura- zolidone,and insensitive to ampicillin and co-trimoxazole.Conclusion sh.flexneri was the major pathogen of child- hood bacillary dysentery.The third generation cephalosporins were the first choice for shigella infections.

Abstract?AIM: To analyze the clinical effects of partial rectus muscle transportation procedure for paralytic strabismus due to single rectus muscle paralysis.?METHODS:The conditions of 22 patients (25 eyes) who underwent partial rectus muscle transportation procedure for paralytic strabismus due to single rectus muscle paralysis were retrospectively reviewed. The following data were analyzed:1 ) the angle of deviation of primary position; 2 ) the presence of diploma in the primary position;3) the presence of compensatory head posture;4) the motility of the affected eye.All of the patients attended 6mo postoperative follow-up examinations.?RESULTS: According to the results of examinations before and during operation, different operations were performed:2 eyes were treated with partial rectus muscle transportation, 20 eyes were treated with recession of antagonistic muscle of paralytic rectus muscle combined with partial rectus muscle transportation, 3 eyes were treated with recession of antagonistic muscle, partial rectus muscle transportation and recession of yoke muscle.Twenty patients were orthotropia in the primary position, the diploma and abnormal head posture were eliminated. Two patients with binocular lateral rectus muscles paralysis were in mild undercorrection which were resolved by wearing 8△and 10△prisms respectively. The procedure improved strabismus of 25 eyes from 100.23△ ± 42.61△ preoperatively to 0.82△ ± 2.67△postoperatively ( t=10.797,P<0.001).Ocular movement was improved from -4.52 ±0.51 preoperatively to -2.68 ± 0.63 postoperatively (t=-19.468, P<0.001).? CONCLUSION: Partial rectus muscle transportation procedure for paralytic strabismus due to single rectus muscle paralysis can effectively correct the primary position in paralytic strabismus, eliminate the presence of diploma in primary position and abnormal head posture, and improve the ocular motility, which provides content clinical effects.

Objective To explore the imaging features of external iliac artery-related postpartum hemorrhage, and to discuss its interventional therapy measures. Methods The clinical data and imaging findings of one patient with external iliac artery-related postpartum hemorrhage was retrospectively analyzed. The patient received interventional therapy at the intervention department of Shanxi provincial people ’s hospital. The relevant academic papers published in medical literature were reviewed. The common features of this condition were summarized, and the imaging features and the interventional therapy measures were discussed. Results A total of 4 patients, including authors’ case, with external iliac artery- related postpartum hemorrhage were reported in China. Of the 4 case , right external iliac artery-related postpartum hemorrhage was seen in 2 and bilateral external iliac artery-related postpartum hemorrhage was seen in other two. Embolization therapy of three abnormal branches of deep circumflex iliac artery that participated in the uterine blood supply was carried out. Immediately after the embolization the bleeding stopped. Conclusion For the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage, uterine arterial embolization should be followed by abdominal aorta angiography so as to check the external iliac artery. When recurrent bleeding occurs after uterine arterial embolization, the possibility that the abnormal branches of external iliac artery participates in the uterine blood supply should be considered. In performing the embolization of abnormal branches of external iliac artery, the catheter should be inserted to the distal end of the target vessel. Under DSA monitoring the embolic agent should be slowly injected into the targeted artery and the patient should be kept under close observation for blood reflux. Usually, the embolization of abnormal branches of external iliac artery will not cause ischemic symptoms of the pelvis and distal limbs.

The potential of Rhizobium sp. N613 to produce the exopolysaccharide (REPS) was studied in this paper. Using an orthogonal design in a flask-shaker culture system, the fermentation medium and conditions of synthesizing REPS were optimized. Based on these results, the fermentation kinetic parameters were obtained in the batch fermentation with a 10L fermentor. The REPS yield of 11.31g/L was achieved by metabolic regulation during 40 h fed-batch fermentation. Transplanted tumor models of sarcoma 180 in mice were used to evaluate the anti-tumor effect. The result of anti-tumor activities showed that inhibition rate was 53.40%, when dose of REPS was 5mg/kg. These results indicate that REPS has the following properties: the short duration of fermentation, the high yield, the low cost, the effective immunocompetence and thickening. Thus, REPS has the value of development and application.

Objective:To investigate the immune response after injecting polysaccharide nucleic acid of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin(BCG-PSN)under the mucous membrane of bladder in rabbits and to search for the most suitable dose of BCG-PSN.Methods:The rabbits were randomly divided into 5 groups:high dose(0.35 mg/ml)BCG-PSN group,mid- dle dose(0.175 mg/ml)BCG-PSN group,low dose(0.0875 mg/ml)BCG-PSN group,BCG(0.35 mg/ml)control group and BCG-PSN(0.35 mg/ml)intra-bladder perfusion control group.T lymphocyte subsets(CD4~+,CD8~+)in the peripheral blood were determined by flow cytometry before and 1 week,2 weeks,1 month and 3 months after the treatment; the levels of IL-2,TNF-?,and IFN-?of peripheral blood were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay;H-E and Masson staining was used for the pathological examination of the bladder.Results:(1)BCG-PSN injection increased the number of CD4~+ and CD8~+ T lymphocytes in a time- and dose-dependent manner,with the peak numbers appeared 2 weeks after BCG-PSN injection;the numbers restored to the normal levels 3 months after BCG-PSN injection.BCG control group had a similar changing pattern to the BCG-PSN injection group.The number of CD4~+ T cells BCG-PSN perfusion group was significantly lower than that in the high-dose BCG-PSN injection group(P

Objective:To determine the law of dose variation in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients treated with helical tomotherapy by observing the difference between the actual and planned doses of targets and at-risk organs in these patients. Methods:Ten naso-pharyngeal carcinoma patients were treated with helical tomotherapy. Each single dose distribution and the corresponding computed tomography (CT) images were transmitted to the commercial software MIMvista 6.50, which was used to perform deformable image registration on the CT images. The sum of the actual dose was then obtained by accumulating the single doses. The image-guided actu-al dose was denoted as Plan 2, and the initial plan was called Plan 1. The dose-volume histogram of the dose distribution of targets and at-risk organs in Plans 1 and 2 were compared. Results:The D98 and D95 doses of the planning gross target volume (PGTV) in Plan 2 were significantly lower than those in Plan 1. Compared with Plan 1, the Dmean and D50 doses of double parotids in Plan 2 were higher by 42.23%and 63.82%(P<0.001, P=0.001) on average, respectively, for the left parotid, as well as by 38.64%and 66.76%(P=0.002, 0.004), respectively, for the right parotid. The D2 dose of spinal cord in Plan 2 was significantly higher than that in Plan 1. The doses were higher by 16.49%on average (P=0.026). Conclusion:To achieve precise and individually adaptive radiotherapy, correcting the error between anatomy and placement during tomotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients is necessary.
