Results According to the survey, 393 patients had received PN support, including 217 cases′NRS score <3 and 176 cases′NRS score ≥3.General surgery department ranked the first in the cases of usingall in oneadmixture support.Among 133 cases receiving all in one admixture support, the course of 37 cases(27.82%) <7 d.The aII in one admixture non-protein calorie and ni-trogen ratio(100~150∶1) only took up 28.57%. Conclusion Although PN has got wide application in clinical departments, the rationality of prescription should be strengthened .Pharmacists should help doctors set up appropriate prescription from the aspect of pharmacy.

Objective To investigate the status of the plague natural focus and assess the risk of plague in regions with large scale engineering construction project,in order to provide a basis for plague prevention and control.Methods The survey was carried out in 14 regions with large scale engineering construction project of 40 counties in Guizhou Province in 2000-2011,2-3 towns were selected in each county and 2-3 villages in each town,the plague hosts and flea vectors in the residential houses and outdoors were investigated,the sera of 5 animals were collected in each village.The capture rate of hosts and flea index were calculated.Then the samples were cultured and serological tested for plague.Results The density of rodents was 1.14％-3.87％ in the reservoir region' residential building of hydro power station (Tianshengqiao,Pingban,Silin,Guangzhao,Sanbanxi,Dongqing,Qianzhong,Shatuo) and Xingyi airport,and Rattus flavipestus was the dominant species.The density of rodents was 0.00％-0.84％ in the reservoir region of hydro power station (Hongjiadu,Yingzidu,Goupitan,Longtan) and Jinyang district; the total flea index in Yinzidu,Pingban,Longtan reservoir regions of hydro power stations were 3.16,2.00,1.06,3.47 and 1.99,respectively.A total of 21 rodent and flea samples from Tianshengqiao hydro power station were tested positive for F1 antigen of the plague.Three strains of Yersiniapestis were isolated.Nine rat filter paper blood samples and 7 sera of indicative animals were tested plague F1 antibody positive.Other regions with large scale engineering construction project were tested negative.Conclusions The reservoir region of Tianshengqiao hydro power station is endemic areas of the plague,where belong to high risk areas.The density of Rattus flavipestus is higher than the controlling standard of the country in the reservoir region of hydro power station (Pingban,Silin,Guangzhao,Sanbanxi,Dongqing,Qianzhong,Shatuo),where belong to potential risk areas.The plague prevention and monitoring should be continually strengthened to reduce the risk of plague.

Objective To survey the major host animal and media fleas of plague in Beipanjiang Basin,to gain insights into plague foci and to provide a basis for prevention and control of plague.Methods According to the epidemiological site survey methods,from 2008 to 2010 five villages in five townships (towns) in coastal watershed of Beipanjiang were selected.The methods of cage trapping and 5 meters thread clamp were used to capture rodents indoor and outdoor,respectively.After rats were anesthetized with ether anesthesia,rat body flea were combed and stored in sterile tubes.The liver and spleen of rodents were collected and stored in the test tube with preservation solution,and free body fleas on rats were collected with flea sticky paper and stored in sterile tubes.Blood specimens (5 ml) of indicating animal and normal people were collected,serum was separated and sent for laboratory test.The four-step method was utilized to isolate Yersinia pestis from rodents and fleas,the indirect hemagglutination (IHA) was used to test F1 antibodies on the blood of rodents filter,blood serum of humans and rodents.Results Totally 243 rodents were captured,202 indoor and 41 outdoor,the capture rate was 4.90％ and 1.15％,respectively.Rodents captured belong to 9 species,4 genera,1 family and 1 order,Rattus flavipectus and Mus pahari were dominant species.Five rodents had body flea,the dyed flea rate was 2.06％;53 fleas were captured,total flea index was 0.218 1.Rat fleas were classified in 2 families,2 genera and 2 species,and Cheopis was the dominant species.Yersinia pestis and plague F1 were not detected.Conclusion The epidemic indication has not been found in Beipanjiang Basin,but the nurturing conditions for Rattus flavipectus plague foci along the coast are exist.

Objective To explore the growing development and community succession of main sarcos-aphagous insects on pig carcasses in summer indoor and outdoor environment in Shenzhen area and to estimate the postmortem interval (PMI). Methods From early May to August in 2013, in Forensic Med-ical Examination Center of Shenzhen Public Security Bureau, the main insect species and the decomposi-tion process were observed in two adult pig carcasses of simulative indoor and outdoor environment. The different decomposition stages and the community succession of insects were recorded. Results The indoor and outdoor pig carcasses showed skeleton 412.5 and 325 hours after death, respectively. The main species of flies on pig carcasses were Chrysomya megacephala, Chrysomya rufifacies and Chrysomya chani. The main species of beetles were Crecphilus maxillosus, Necrobia ruficollis, Saprinus splendens and Dermestes maculatu. The dominant species of flies in the outdoor pig carcasses obviously produced the second generations due to the effect of mass rainfall, nor in the indoor pig carcasses. Conclusion There are regular patterns on the community succession of insects on pig carcasses in summer indoor and out-door environment in Shenzhen area. The activity patterns of seven typical insects and their larva show important value for estimating PMI.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and risk factors of abdominal lymph node metastasis in thoracic esophageal squamous cell cancer.Methods The clinical data of 586 patients with thoracic esophageal cancer who underwent surgery via transabdominal and transthoracic approaches between June 2009 and June 2014 at the Sichuan Cancer Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients received resection of esophageal cancer and lymph node dissection, and the transabdominal right thoracic approach or cervico-thoracicabdominal triple incision was selected according to the condition of patients.No.18, 19, 20 lymph nodes were dissected seperately and No.16, 17 and lesser curvature lymph nodes were separated.All the specimens of lymph nodes were detected by regular pathological examination.Measurement data with normal distribution were presented as x ± s and count data were described as rate.Comparisons of rate between 2 specimens and among the multiple specimens were respectively analyzed using the chi-square test and partition of chi-squared.The multivariate analysis was done using the logistic regression.Results The number of lymph node dissected in 586 patients was 12 524 with an average number of 20 ± 11 per case, and the rate of lymph node metastasis was 55.63％ (326/586).The number of mediastinal lymph node dissected was 7 012 with an average number of 12 ± 5 per case, and a rate of mediastinal lymph node metastasis was 40.96％ (240/586).The number of abdominal lymph node dissected was 5 512 with an average number of 9 ± 8 per case, and a metastasis rate was 31.74％ (186/586).The abdominal lymph node metastasis rate of the upper, middle and lower thoracic esophageal cancer were 13.73％ (14/102), 31.51％ (92/292) and 41.67％ (80/192), respectively, showing a significant difference among the above 3 indexes (x2 =25.91, P ＜ 0.05).The lymph node metastasis rate in No.16, 17, 18,19, 20 and lesser curvature lymph nodes were 12.80％ (75/586), 16.89％ (99/586), 1.71％ (10/586),0.68％ (4/586), 1.71％ (10/586) and 2.05％ (12/586), respectively, with a significant difference among the above 6 indexes (x2 =287.95, P ＜ 0.05).The results of univariate analysis showed that the tumor location,surgical procedure, T stage, N stage, G stage, pathological stage and mediastinal lymph node metastasis were risk factors affecting abdominal lymph node metastasis of thoracic esophageal cancer (x2 =24.02, 23.97, 37.87,136.85, 38.79, 7.70, 154.27, P ＜ 0.05).The tumor in the lower thoracic portion, N3 stage and stage Ⅳ were independent risk factors affecting abdominal lymph node metastasis of thoracic esophageal cancer in the multivariate analysis (RR =5.80, 2.36, 2.76, 95％ confidence interval: 1.022-1.813, 1.317-3.950, 1.652-12.351, P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Abdominal lymph node metastasis is common in thoracic esophageal cancer in which No.16 and 17 lymph nodes predominate, and it is easy to occur in patients with lower thoracic esophageal cancer, and advanced N stage and pathological type.

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.

AIM:To study the influence of stimulation by LPS and CD40 ligandization in vitro on the TLR4-MD2 expression and IL-12 production in dendritic cells (DCs) modified by sCD40 gene and provide the experimental clues of inducing dornor-specific immune tolerance.METHODS: Plasmid pEGFP-N1/sCD40 and pEGFP-N1 was transfected into DC2.4 cell line with lipofectamine. After 6 h of treatment with LPS and anti-CD40mAb, the expression of TLR4-MD2 on DCs was determined with flow cytometry (FCM) and RT-PCR. IL-12p70 protein was detected by ELISA.RESULTS: LPS treatment of DCs down-regulated surface expression of TLR4-MD2, LPS treatment along with anti-CD40mAb significantly up-regulated TLR4-MD2 surface expression. CD40 ligandization did not affect TLR4-MD2 mRNA expression in DCs but partly increased its low level induced by LPS and markly enhanced IL-12p70 secretion after LPS stimulation. DCs modified by sCD40 gene inhibited the above effect.CONCLUSION: After treatment with LPS and anti-CD40mAb, DCs modified by sCD40 gene down-regulate surface expression of TLR4-MD2 and IL-12p70 secretion decreases significantly, which might be linked with the interruption of TLR4-MD2 transportation from cytoplasm.

Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) plays important roles in varieties of biological processes. This factor is highly conserved in mammalian animals and only one heterozygous LIF mutation was reported to cause the infertility of women. A LIF mutation was generated and the evidences were provided that the mutation of mature LIF at the 29th amino acid totally abolished its functions, including stimulation of STAT activation assayed by Luciferase reporter gene expression and EMSA experiments. In addition, the mutated LIF failed to inhibit the proliferation of M1 cells. The data indicated that the mutation of LIF did not have a dominant negative effect but lost the biological functions, suggesting that the 29th amino acid is critical for maintaining the activities of LIF.

A method based on solid phase extraction-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for the simultaneous determination of 76 veterinary drugs in foodstuffs of animal origin was presented. The residues derived from pork, shrimp, milk, liver and egg were extracted by acetonitrile combined with citrate buffer containing magnesium cation. The extracts were distilled and redissolved with citrate buffer followed by a further cleanup procedure using polymer connected with cation exchange SPE column. The residues retained in column were rinsed with methanol and mixture of methanol and ammonium hydroxide(95∶ 5, V/V). Sample matrix-matched calibration was used to determine the residue contents by external standard. The method provided a LOQ of 0.5 μg/kg(β-agonist and triphenylmethane), 1.0 μg/kg(benzodiazepine and nitroimdazole), 5.0 μg/kg(benzimidazole) and 20.0 μg/kg(sulfanilamide), linear relationship more than 0.907 and a recovery ranged from 59.4% to 115.3% with a RSD between 2.6% and 27.3% in sample matrix. The practical inspection using the method offered two positive samples for ractopamine and diazepam with a residual concentration of 0.92 and 6.5 μg/kg.

Objective To access the expression of germ P16 in cervical cancer patients , find out the connection between with the expression in germ of P16 and the prognosis of cervical cancer , and discuss whether P16 can role as an indicator to predict the prognosis. Methods The pathological sections of all 74 cases were tested for the presence of P16 germ , using an immunohistochemistry technique. And the results were analyzed to investigate the value of P16 on the prediction of prognosis of cervical cancer. Results Of all 74 cervical cancer cases, there are 63 cases show positive expression of P16, with the positive expression rate of 85% (63/74). The positive expression of gene P16 is associated with the prognosis of cervical cancer (P = 0.041). The cumulative survival rate for two years of the positive expression set is 85.2%, and the negative set 100%, which is statistically significant (P = 0.043). Positiveexpression of P16 is closely related (P < 0.05) with clinical stages LVSI and interstitial infiltrates, but is irrelevant (P > 0.05) with TNM and histological differentiation. Conclusions We suggest that the expression of germ P16 is closely connected prognosis in cervical cancer , and it might be used as one of indicator to predict the prognosis of cervical cancer.
