Objective To analyze risk factor in children with nosocomial infection of pediatric department. Methods 3 250 children were collected as observation group in recent five yesrs.The infective characteristic were analyzed retrospectively in observation group.Results 73 hospital infective cases were found in the observation group.50 cases of pulmonary infection,10 cases of digestive tract infection,10 cases of urinary system infection,and 3 cases of oral infection.Age(χ2 =5.76,P <0.05 ),duration of hospitalization(χ2 =6.05,P <0.05 ),invasive operation(χ2 =7.75,P <0.05)and preventive antibiotics use(χ2 =7.86,P <0.05)were correlated with nosocomial infection.Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus haemolyticus of G + strain was most,staphlococcus epidemidis and klebsiella of G -strain was most.Conclusion The risk factors should be paied attention in paediatric cases,as well as strengthen the strict aseptic operation and apply with bacterial culture of secretion,which is of significance to guide clinical medication.

Objective The goal of this study was to explore the effect of exercise preconditioning on the expression of calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP)in the dorsal root ganglion of rats.Methods Fifty healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into control group (C) and exercise preconditioning group(EP).Group EP performed intervial treadmill exercise for 3 weeks for establishing exercise preconditioning animal model.The expression of CGRP mRNA in dorsal root ganglion was investigated by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.The immunoreaetion of CGRP in dorsal root ganglion was shown by immunohistochemistry.Results There was no significant difference in the expression of CGRP mR.NA in two groups(P>0.05).As compared with the group C,the immunoreaction of CGRP was increased in group EP,and the positive area and mean optical density of CGRP immunoreaction in group PE were significant higher than that in group C(P<0.05).Conclusion Exercise preconditioning does not change the expression of CGRP mRNA in dorsal root ganglion,but enhances the expression of CGRP in dorsal root ganglion to promote the reserve and release of CGRP in peripheral nerve endings and has the same endogenous protection as ischemie preconditioning.

To study the effect of exercise on cardiac calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) using immunnohistochemistry and the technique of computer image analysis, the expression and mechanism of cardiac CGRP on the animal model trained with different exercise intensities were investigated. The result showed that long-term low intensity of exercise was not able to induce obvious change in cardiac CGRP. After long-term moderate intensity of exercise, the expression of cardiac CGRP increased so as to improve blood supply and protect myocardium. Long-term high intensity of exercise decreased expression of cardiac CGRP and weakened the protection of myocardium which could be a chief cause of myocardial ischemia.

Objective To investigate the chemotherapy on coagulation function in patients with gastrointestinal cancer.Methods One hundred eight-one cases of gastrointestinal cancer patients who were taken chemotherapy in our hospital were collected from January 2009 to May 2012.According to tumor metastasis,they were divided into distant metastasis group ( n=68) and no distant metastasis group ( n=113 ),and then 270 cases of healthy persons were matched as control group.Plasma prothrombin time ( PT),activated partial thromboplastin enzyme time ( APTT),plasma fibrinogen ( FIB ),the total thrombin time ( TT),and D-dimer (DD) level were observed and compared between these groups.And the level of coagulation indicators in patients with gastrointestinal cancer was compared before and after chemotherapy.Results There were significant differences among three groups on levels of PT,APTT,FIB,TT and D-D (F=4.443,4.791,5.795,3.671,10.564,respectively,P＜0.05) before chemotherapy.The PT[(11.31 ±0.98) s and (11.20 ±0.95) s vs (11.99±0.89)s] and APTT[(29.01 ±4.52)s and (28.25 ±3.98)s vs (30.45 ±4.95)s] and TT [(19.35 ± 2.09) s and (18.68 ± 1.98 ) s vs (19.98 ± 1.89 ) s] in the tumor without distant metastasis and tumor distant metastasis groups were significantly lower than those in the healthy control group ( P＜0.05 ),however FIB[(3.05 ±0.68) g/L and (3.89 ± 1.01 ) g/L vs (2.29 ±0.38) g/L] and D-D[(98.88 ± 15.94) μg/L and (227.31 ± 35.12 ) μg/L vs (35.41 ± 3.43 ) μg/L] were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group (P＜0.05);FIB[(3.89 ± 1.01 ) g,/L vs (3.05±0.68) g/L],DD[(227.31 ± 35.12) μg/L vs (98.88 ± 15.94) μg/L] in distant metastasis group were also significantly higher than those in no distant metastasis group( P＜0.05 ).On comparison before and after chemotherapy,there was no significant difference on PT,APTT,D-D and TT between distant metastasis group and no distant metastasis group ( P ＞ 0.05 ),but FIB decreased significantly in two groups after chemotherapy [Distant metastasis group:( 3.25 ± 0.78 ) g/L vs (3.89 ± 1.01) g/L;No distant metastasis group:( 2.58 ± 0.75 ) g/L vs ( 3.05 ± 0.68 ) g/L;P＜0.05 )] Conclusion The patients with gastrointestinal cancer are on the hypercoagulable state.In addition,hypercoagulable state could be increased with the emergence of metastases.Chemotherapy may be a transient increasing in the risk of thrombosis.Clinicians need to recognize the hypercoagulable state in cancer patients before and after chemotherapy,that will provide help for clinical treatments.

Objective To provide theoretical guidance for further research on the role of miR-1 99a-3p in formation and development of bladder cancer.Methods Mature sequence of miR-1 99a-3p was analyzed;target genes and transcription factors of miRNA-1 99a-3p were predicted,and the target genes were analyzed for gene ontology (GO)enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG)pathway.Then TF-miRNA-mRNA network diagram was constructed.Results Sequences of miR-1 99a-3p were highly conserved in various species.In GO analysis,the target genes of miR-1 99a-3p were enriched in many biological processes,such as regulation of cellular process,regulation of macromolecule metabolic process,and regulation of biological process (P <0.01 ).In KEGG pathway,the target genes were mainly located in bacterial invasion pathway of epithelial cells,ECM-receptor interaction pathway,PI3K-Akt signaling pathway,MAPK signaling pathway,small cell lung cancer pathway,and proteoglycans pathway in the cancer (P <0.05).According to the TF-miRNA-mRNA network diagram,the important genes that might be regulated by miR-1 99a-3p were MYC,SP1,mTOR,NFκB,and NFκB1.Conclusion miR-1 99a-3p may directly target mTOR and participate in the formation and development of bladder cancer through regulating PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo investigate whether the T1-weighted dynamic contrast-enhanced perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (DCEPMRI) technique can help to delineate the clinical target volume of brain glioma patients.MethodsThe DCE T1-weighted images from 28 glioma patients were collected after GdDTPA was injected.After the acquired images were processed and analyzed using modified Tofts-Kermode'two compartment analysis model and de-convolution method,the value and its pseudo mapping of quantitative parameter Ktrans related to microvascular permeability were obtained.The tumor size in the largest diameter slice measured both in routine enhanced MRI and Ktrans mapping of T1-weighted DCEPMRI were compared.ResultsThe vascular permeability and tumor infiltration was lower in low grade glioma,the difference of the tumor size between T1-weighted DCEPMRI and routine enhanced MRI reached 0.2％ -0.3％ there was significant difference of tumor size between T1 -weighted DCEPMRI and routine enhanced MRI ( grade Ⅰ and Ⅱ grade with 2.93 cm2∶2.46 cm2(t=6.90,P=0.000) and 4.18 cm2∶3.21 cm2(t=10.22,P=0.000) ).While in high grade glioma,the vascular permeability and the tumor infiltration were higher,the difference of the tumor size between T1-weighted DCEPMRI and routine enhanced MRI reached 25％ - 26％( the size of grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ were 6.46 cm2 vs 5.48 cm2 ( t =10.83,P =0.000) and 8.26 cm2 vs 6.52 cm2(t =18.53,P =0.000) ).ConclusionsThe pseudo mapping of quantitative parameter Ktrans related to microvascular permeability acquired by T1-weighted DCEPMRI reflect the infiltrating circumscription in glioma,T1-weighted DCEPMRI can provide more information in delineation the clinical target volume,and it can be used as a new method for tumor volume evaluation.

Objective To study the anti-fibrotic function and mechanism of peroxisome proliferator activated receptorγ(PPARγ) in connective tissue disease-interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD).Methods The expression of PPARγin lungs was analyzed in 37 cases with CTD-ILD and 20 control cases by immunohistochemistry.Changes in α-SMA levels were analyzed by Western blotting,and acetylation of Smad3 and Smad3 or PPARγ combined with P300 were analyzed by IP-WB.The data was analyzed by one-way ANOVA,t test or Mann-Whitney test.Results PPARγ' expression in the lung of CTD-ILD was lower than the controls [0.92％(1.44％),3.50％(1.94)％,respectively; Z=-8.924,P＜0.01].Different concentration of PPARγ (0,1,5,10,20,40 pmol/L) ligandinhibited the marked elevation of the protein α-SMA induced by TGF-β1 in a concentration-dependent manner (0.918 ±0.062,0.852±0.042,0.725 ±0.057,0.678 ±0.042,0.418 ±0.022,0.456±0.029; P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).However,this response was blocked by a selective antagonist PPARγ signaling GW9662 (0.946±0.087 vs 0.538±0.120,P＜0.01).Acetylation of Smad3 expression was increased when TGF-β1 was putted into lung fibroblasts after 60,90 and 180 min (0.565±0.047,1.127±0.101,0.873±0.022,0.614±0.407; all P＜0.05).The combination of Smad3 with P300 was also increased (1.46±0.12,0.98±0.09; P＜0.05),compared with the controls.But the ligand of PPARγ could block this effect (0.62±0.10,1.46±0.12; P＜0.05).Meanwhile,the combination of PPARγ and P300 was increased (0.94±0.05,0.76±0.22; P＜0.05).Conclusion PPARγ may play a physiologic role in the regulation of anti-fibrosis response.Its function may be realized by its competition with Smad3 combined with P300.
