Objective To explore the effects and mechanism of atrovastatin on the expression of the NF-κB in renal tissues of diabetic rats.Methods A total of 60 male SD rats was randomly taken out 40 rats to make diabetic model by injection of 65mg streptozotoein (STZ) into enterocoelia,the rest of 20 rats were normal control group.After the model made,atrovastatin (2 mg/kg/d) was given to the treated group,and the normal control group and diabetic rats without treatment group were given equivalent water.After 12 weeks,the rats were killed.Total RNA of the renal tissues was isolated from one kidney for each rat,and the renal tissues from the another kidney was prepared for immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis.The NF-κB mRNA expressions among three groups were determined by RT-PCR.The distribution of NF-κB in the renal tissues was observed,and compared its difference among three groups.ResultsPCR showed that NF-κB mRNA was increased in the renal tissues of diabetic rats compared to control rats ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Drug-treated rats showed significantly decreased levels of NF-κB mRNA in the renal tissues compared to the untreated diabetic group( P ＜0.05).The results were also observed in protein lelel of NF-κB expression.IHC showed that there existed positive cells in the glomerular and renal tubulointerstitum.Conclusions Atrovastatin can down-regulate the expression of NF-κB and suppress the increased level of NF-κB protein in the renal tissue of diabetic rats,and slow the progress of retinopathy.

Objective In the treatment of tumor with high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU),the acoustic pressure distribution determines the safety and reliability of HIFU.It is necessary to predict the acoustic field produced by HIFU transducer.Methods To analyze the acoustic pressure distribution of HIFU generated by different excitation frequency and variable incentive power,comparison was made between the acoustic pressure simulated by finite difference time domain (FDTD) method and the ones measured by experiments.ResultsThe resultsshowed that the pressureat focalpoint increasedwiththe increasing of excitation power,while the change in the focal length was negligible.The focal point moved towards the transducer with the frequency increasing until the maximum sound pressure was gained at the resonant frequency (RF).Conclusion The simulation results are consistent with the experiment results,indicating that the acoustic fields can be predicted by simulation.

Methods A panel for quality control circle was set up to implement quality control circle activities in order to promote the use of drug signs, anti-accident signs, hospital infection signs and nursing security signs. The un-qualified rate of the sign uses were compared between pre-and post-implication of quality control circle. Result The un-qaulified rate of drug sign uses was significantly decreased after the implementation (P<0.01). Conclusion The quality control circle can be effective for improving the rate of using nursing signs and thus enhancing nursing quality.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of titanium plate and Kirschner wire system for treatment of calcaneal fracture.Methods The data of 189 patients with calcaneal fracture treated with operation were retrospectively studied,of which 102 patients of calcaneal fracture were treated with titanium plate fixation (titanium plate group),87 patients were treated with Kirschner wire system (Kirschner wire group).The operative time,blood loss,postoperative complication,healing time,before and after treatment Bohler angle,Gissane angle and middle calcaneal width,and Maryland foot function score were observed.Results The patients of the 2 groups were observed with 12-36 (24.0 ± 9.5) months follow-up.The operative time and blood loss in Kirschner wire group were significantly lower than those in titanium plate group [(42.3 ± 12.5) min vs.(67.5 ± 23.1) min and (137.7 ± 42.8) ml vs.(245.0 ± 55.6) ml],there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.05).The Bohler angle,Gissane angle and middle calcaneal width in the 2 groups after treatment were significantly better than those before treatment [titanium plate group:(32.80 ± 6.35)° vs.(7.81 ± 8.75)°,(130.42 ±6.93)° vs.(175.80 ± 6.05)°,(30.77 ± 3.56) mm vs.(42.60 ±5.24) mm; Kirschner wire group:(30.11 ±4.91)° vs.(9.54 ±8.90)°,(132.89 ±9.54)° vs.(173.11 ±9.05)°,(32.00 ± 4.18) mm vs.(42.78 ± 4.96) mm],there were statistical differences (P＜ 0.05).The excellent rate of Maryland foot function score after treatment in titanium plate group was significantly higher than that in Kirschner wire group [92.2％ (94/102) vs.81.6％ (71/87)],there was statistical difference (P ＜ 0.05).Therewere 6 cases appeared infection of incisional wound in titanium plate group,there was no complication in Kirschner wire group,there was statistical difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Titanium plate and Kirschner wire system are the commonly used methods in treatment of calcaneal fractures,each has its advantages and disadvantages,titanium plate has long time operation,much blood loss and prone to infection,but the excellent rate is higher.Also note that the incision location,restoration and reconstruction of calcaneal anatomy subtalar joint.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance of pathogens from lower respira-tory tract in patients in intensive care unit (ICU),so as to provide reference for clinical treatment.Methods Distri-bution and antimicrobial susceptibility of pathogens isolated from ICU patients’sputum obtained through fiberbron-choscope between 2011 and 2014 were analyzed retrospectively.Results A total of 3 454 pathogenic strains were isolated between January 1 ,2011 and December 31 ,2014,the percentage of gram-negative bacteria,gram-positive bacteria,and fungi were 84.11 %,14.50%,and 1 .39% respectively.The detection rates of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp .in 2011 -2014 were 38.46% -73.33% and 26.95% -37.06% respectively. Enterobacteriaceae strains had low resistance rates to imipenem and meropenem (<20.00%);resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii was higher than Pseudomonas aeruginosa ,both had low resistance rates to amikacin(3.32%-37.16%);vancomycin-and linezolid-resistant strains were not found among Staphylo-coccus .In 2011 - 2014,detection rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)were 42.86% -61 .22%,methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococcus (MRCNS)were 86.96% - 91 .67%;resistance rates of Enterococcus faecium was higher than Enterococcus faecalis ,vancomycin-resistant strains were not found among Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium ;the major fungus was Candida albicans .Conclusion Anti-microbial resistance of pathogens isolated from lower respiratory tract is getting more serious,clinicians should pay attention to non-antimicrobial infection control strategies in addition to rational use of antimicrobial agents.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a group of neuromuscular disorders, caused by degeneration of the motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord, with prevalence of about 1 in 6000 to 1 in 10000 in newborn. The gene carrying frequency is about 1 in 40 to 1 in 50 all over the world. SMA is one of the most common autosomal recessive diseases causing infant death. SMA mainly refers to SMN1 dependent caused by SMN1 gene mutations. Noninvasiveness and specificity make genetic testing a recommended method for diagnosis of SMA. In addition to conventional methods such as neural nutrition, muscle exercise, etc., there is no specific treatment for SMA up to now. Nevertheless, HDAC inhibitors deserve attention as they are the only drugs completed Phase Ⅲ clinical trials to date. Furthermore, other ways as small-molecule SMN enhancers, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC), antisense oligonucleotides to correct SMN2 splicing, etc, were still on the way of in vitro stage at present.

Objective To analysis the diagnostic values and characteristics of ultrasound and ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) before operation. Methods The data of ultrasound and ultrasound guided FNAC in 129 patients (including 148 PTC nodules) with PTC were collected from January 2014 to February 2017, and the diagnostic reports and feature descriptions of ultrasound and ultrasound guided FNAC were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among the 148 PTC nodules, the ultrasonographic imaging showed that 84.5% (125/148) with low echo-level solid nodules, 61.5% (91/148) with echo heterogenicity, 77.7% (115/148) with a ratio ≥ 1 in longitudinal/breadth, 69.6 % (103/148) with fuzzy boundary, 75.0% (111/148) with microcalcification in nodules, 97.3% (144/148) without or with incomplete aureole, 64.9% (96/148) with rich blood flow and 7.0% (9/129) with enlargement of cervical lymph nodes. The FNAC diagnosis showed that 78.4% (116/148) was diagnosed with suspected papillary carcinoma, 1.4% (2/148) was diagnosed with malignent tumor, 11.5% (17/148) was diagnosed with atypia of undetermined significance (AUS), 1.4% (2/148) was diagnosed with benign lesion, 0.7% (1/148) was diagnosed with follicular neoplasm and 6.7% (10/148) could not be diagnosed. If the suspected papillary carcinoma and malignent tumor were defined as cytodiagnosis, the diagnostic accordance rate with intraoperative pathology was 79.7%. Conclusion The preoperative accuracy rates of ultrasound diagnosis and ultrasound guided FNAC diagnosis for patients with PTC are high, and the characteristics of the both are also typical. The two examinations before operation are helpful for early diagnosis and treatment formulation for patients with PTC.
