Objective This research is to observe the treatment effects of hip bath and oxygen blowing on severe neonatal diaper rash.Methods 289 neonates with severe diaper rash were randomly divided into three groups.91 cases in the flat tube group,102 cases in the round tube group and 96 cases in the control group.Three groups of neonates were cleaned on the hips and perineuma after poops and then dried with wet tissues and Mupirocin Ointment.The control group was treated with the above-mentioned method.The oxygen blowing groups were treated with hip bath of 1:5000 chameleon solution twice a day.Blowing the hips with oxygen five minutes every time after hip bath.The method of blowing oxygen was that oxygen humidifying containers as normal oxygen aspiration facilities was not filled with water,whose oxygen flowing volume standed at 10 L/min and whose tube blew at the afflicted parts until being dry.The oxygen blower held the oxygen exit and blowed at the afflicted parts in the round tube group and the oxygen blower flattened the oxygen exit and blew at the afflicted parts in the fiat tube group.The treatment effects will be compared among the three groups four days later.Results The cure period of the round tube group was obviously shorter than that of the control group,and the cure period of the fiat tube group was remarkably shorter than that of the round tube group.The total effective rate in the round tube group was obviously higher than that of the control group and the total effective rate in the fiat tube group was obviously higher than that in the round tube group.The difference had a statistical significance.Conclusions The treatment effects for the severe neonatal diaper rash with hip bath and oxygen blowing are remarkable and the oxygen blowing effects with fiat tubes are better than those with round tubes.

Because the influence of fibrin on the reaction of plasm inogen activation by various plasminogen activators is different, the kinetic co nstant of the reaction of plasminogen activation catalyzed by InB with and witho ut fibrin were detected. The result is: Kfibrinm=4.2 μmol*L -1,greater than the normal Km=0.379 μmol*L-1; kfib rincat=0.107 s-1,greater than the normal kcat=0.0165 s-1. The results suggest that existence of fibrin in the reaction system of plasminogen activation depress the affinity between InB and plasminog en, but accelerates the hydrolysis of plasminogen by InB. The count up effect is inhibition.

Objective To study the strategy of expanding standard donor heart application and to analyze the clinical effect on applying expanding standard donor heart in heart transplantation.Methods 146 patients received heart transplantation in Fuwai Hospital Bering from June 2004 to February 2009.Expanding standard donor heart was defined as prolonged ischemic time over 6 h,advanced age up to 40,and blood type ABO mismathched.Blood type examination and PRA test were done before operation.The donor heart was preserved by sequential perfusion with cold St.Thomas and HTK solution.The patients were divided into groups according to different oversize body weight,ischemic time,and donor age Results There were 11 deaths after operation.Ischernic time of donor heart was 262.1±120.8 min,and that of 21 donors was over 360 min(the longest one was 605 min).There was no significant diffeFence in recipient properties before transplantation.and also there was no significant difference in mortality,heart function,heart rejection,and main morbidity after transplantation and during follow-up.Conclusion These data support continued aggressive utilization of expanding standard donor hearts in heart transplantation.Our experience demonstrates thatproperly expanding standard cardiac allografts application has no effects on the short- and long-term clinical outcome following heart transplantation.

Objective To compare the effect of L-T4 taken in the morning vs bedtime on serum thyroid hormone in patients with hypothyroidism.Methods Seventeen patients with primary hypothyroidism were prospectively included.They took L-T4 in the morning for 2 months followed by L-T4 taken during the bedtime for 2 months.Thyroid hormone levels and cholesterol,triglyceride,albumin,creatinine and heart rate were measured.Wilcoxon test and paired t test were used to compare the data.The correlation between the changes of TSH and FT3,FT4 was analyzed respectively by Pearson correlation analysis.Results TSH,FT3,FT4 were:(12.10±7.19) vs (3.90±3.47) mU/L,(4.14±0.86) vs (5.24±1.11) pmol/L,(12.72± 4.40) vs (18.48±2.87) pmoL/L for L-T4 taken in the morning and during the bedtime respectively (t value:6.371,-3.166,-5.435,all P<0.01).There was no correlation between the changes of TSH and FT3,FT4(r=O.12,0.22,both P>0.05),respectively.The averaged changes were (8.20±5.31) mU/L,(1.09± 1.42) pmol/L and (5.76±4.37) pmol/L.Triglyceride,cholesterol,albumin,creatinine levels and heart rate were not significantly different with L-T4 taken in the morning and during bedtime (t=0.240,0.017;z=0;t=-0.610,1.588,all P>0.05).Conclusions L-T4 taken during the bedtime by patients with hypothyroidism would reduce TSH and increase FT3,FT4 levels.This method can maintain the stability of TSH level with no need to increase the dose.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the isolation rate and four consecutive years′(2004-2007) antibiotic-resistance trend of extended-spectrum ?-lactamases(ESBLs) producing Escherichia coli in urinary tract infection and to provide evidence for anti-infection therapy.METHODS The anti-microbial susceptibility test results of E.coli cultured from the midstream urine of outpatients and inpatients of our hospital from 2004 to 2007 were collected.Whonet 5.4 statistical analysis software was used for analysis.RESULTS During four years,no apparent change has been shown about antibiotic resistant rate of ESBLs producing E.coli.The isolation rate of this kind of E.coli increased year by year from 31% to 44% and showed high resistance to third generation cephalosporins and quinolones antibiotics,but was 100% sensitive to imipenem.CONCLUSIONS With the ESBLs-producing E.coli increasing year by year,the antibiotic-resistance rate of E.coli isolated from urinary tract infection is apparently increased and thus screening of antibiotics sensitive to enzyme-producing bacterial is the key point when the empirical therapy especially when the third and fourth generation cephalosporins are ineffective.
