Objective To investigate the relationship of sperm morphology with seminal plasma zinc and sperm acrosin activity in male infertile patients.Methods 455 patients with male infertility were divided into 5 groups and 8 groups according to age and sperm morphology respectively.The sperm morphology,seminal plasma zinc and sperm acrosin activity were detected by the Diff-Quik stain,modified 5-Br-PAPS and modified Kennedy methods respectively.Results The percentages of morphologically normal sperm and seminal plasma zinc concentration in the infertile men groups were not different in various age groups(P >0.05 ).The sperm acrosin activity in the age group of 36-50 years was remarkably decreased (P <0.05),while which in other age groups had no statistical difference(P >0.05).Seminal plasma zinc concentration in the infertile men groups were not different in the 8 groups (P >0.05 ).Sperm acrosin activity was decreased with the percentage decrease of morphologically normal sperm (r =0.93,P <0.01).Conclusion The percentage of morphologically normal sperm is not affectd by the age and the seminal plasma zinc,which is positively correlated with the sperm acrosin activity.

Objective To investigate the current situation on the infection of Acinetobacter baumannii in ICU and evaluate the efficiency of resistance control project which was performed in Xiaolan hospital,so as to provide scientific basis for clinical rational use of antibiotics.Methods Used VITEK-2 microbiology analysis system for the pathogen identification and drug sensitivity.Compared drug resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from the samples of ICU patients in 2012 (before the project executed)with that in 2013 (after the project executed).Results 71 strains and 57strains Acinetobacter bauman-nii were isolated from the ICU in 2012 (before the project executed)and in 2013 (after the project executed)respectively, which majorly isolated from the samples of respiratory system,and occupied 94.4% and 84.2% respectively.The infection rate of multi-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii was decreased from 77.5% to 66.7%,and the resistance rate of Acinetobact-er baumannii to cefepime,ceftazidime,cefatriaxone,tobramycin and cotrimoxazole decreased distinctly after the implementa-tion of drug resistance control management (χ2 > 3.84,P <0.05).Conclusion The drug resistance rates of Acinetobacter baumannii to 14 kinds of routine antibacterial drugs in 2013 were lower than that in 2012 in ICU.Among them,the drug re-sistance rates of Acinetobacter baumannii to 5 kinds of antibacterial drugs decreased distinctly.

60 years of age) groups(10.4%),and in summer season(8.3%),when existing antibiotic-resistant pathogenic germs(90%),respectively. CONCLUSIONS The surgical site infection after abdomen operations is closely related to factors such as incision site,incision type;malignant or benign diseases;age,sex,and antibiotics-resistant pathogenic germs,etc.Effective measures should be taken accordingly to reduce the infection.

Objective To investigate the effect of Osthole on memory function of sleep deprivation(SD) mice. Methods Forty-eight male mice were randomly divided into 4 groups;normal control group(NC group ), large platform control group(TC group),sleep deprivation group(M group)and Osthole group(Ost group). The model of SD in mice was estabished by using improved multi platform method. The ability of learning and memory was tested by using Morris water maze test and pathological changes of hippocampal neurons in mice were observed by HE staining. The serum,hippcampus malondialdehyde(MDA)contents and superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity, so as the hippocampus No content,were detected. Results Compared with NC group and TC group,the escape la-tency of M group increased significiantly and the number of crossing platform decreased significantly. There were in-creased levels hippocampus tissue,serum MDA level,hippocampal SOD activity and NO content. After supplemen-tation of Osthole,the escape latency significantly shortened in mice. The number of crossing platform was increased while the contents of MDA both in hippocampus and serum were decreased,and the SOD activity in hippocampus re-turned to normal. However,the level of NO in hippocampus was not decreased. Conclusion Osthole can protect the memory function of SD mice by reducing the the damage of hippocampal neurons through antioxidant stress.

OBJECTIVETo detect potential mutations of the spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (SACS) gene in a pedigree affected with autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS).
METHODSGenomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples of the proband and her family members. All exons and flanking sequences of the SACS gene were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing. Suspected mutations were verified with Sanger sequencing.
RESULTSNext generation sequencing revealed novel compound heterozygous mutations of the SACS gene, namely c.13085T to G (p.I4362R) and c.5236dupA (p.T1746fs), in the proband, which were respectively derived from her parents. The mutations were confirmed by Sanger sequencing.
CONCLUSIONThe c.5236dupA (p.T1746fs) and c.13085T to G (p.I4362R) mutations of the SACS gene probably underlie the ocular symptoms and hearing loss in the proband.

Objective To evaluate the application of clinical Screening Tool for the Assessment of Malnutrition in Pediatrics (STAMP),and to investigate the nutritional risks of inpatient children with gastroenterological diseases in Sichuan province and their associated clinical characteristics and the features of hygiene economics.Methods STAMP was utilized for nutrition screening of inpatient children with gastroenterological diseases in Chengdu Women and Children's Central Hospital from January 2015 to March 2017.All the enrolled children were divided into 3 groups according to the STAMP scores:low risk group (LR group),moderate risk group (MR group) and high risk group (HR group).Clinical and economic data were compared among 3 groups.Results A total of 3 672 assessments were accomplished,including 2 372 times for males and 1 300 times for females (< 2 years old:2 021 times,2-5 years old:803 times,>5 years old:848 times).Among them,147 children were identified as LR(4.00%),2 296 children as MR (62.53%),and 1 229 children as HR (33.47%).Statistically significant differences were observed among 3 groups in average length of hospital stay (P <0.001),the total cost at hospital (P <0.001),drug cost (P < 0.001),antibiotic use (x2 =21.66,P < 0.001),parenteral nutrition administration (x2 =46.43,P < 0.001),blood products use (x2 =45.00,P < 0.001),while there was no significant difference in re-admissions for over 3 times (P > 0.05).Malnutrition rate was 4.08% (6/147 cases) in LR group,2.05% (47/2 296 cases) in MR group and 31.90% (392/1 229 cases) in HR group,respectively,and among them 146 patients were diagnosed as severe malnutrition.Digestive tract infections were the most common diseases in MR group(66.33%,1 523/2 296 cases) and HR group(68.27%,839/1 229 cases).Moreover,children with stomatitis,gastrointestinal postoperation,acute pancreatitis,inflammatory bowel disease,esophageal diseases,digestive malformations,cyclic vomiting,malnutrition,and acute intestinal obstruction were all in HR group.Conclusions Nutritional risk is likely to raise the burden of disease.STAMP is applicabile clinically when it is utilized for nutrition risk screening of inpatient children with gastroenterological diseases in Sichuan province and provides evidence for nutrition support treatment.

Organ transplantation is an effective treatment for end-stage organ failure. However, organ shortage has always been a common problem faced by countries around the world. The recognition and active participation of intensive care unit (ICU) medical staff in organ donation contributes to promoting the development of organ donation, thereby alleviating the shortage of donor organ. In this article, the key strategies of ICU donor management to promote organ donation and the key strategies of ICU medical staff management to promote organ donation were summarized, aiming to provide reference for organ donation practitioners (especially ICU medical staff) and jointly facilitate the professional development of organ donation.
