Objective To investigate the relationship between the dynamic changes of hs-CRP and IL-6 with restenosis after stent angioplasty in cerebral arterial stenosis .Methods 65 patients with cerebral artery stenosis stent angioplasty in Nanyang Mu-nicipal Central Hospital from March 2011 to March 2013 were retrospectively analyzed .The changes of hs-CRP and IL-6 levels be-fore operation and at different postoperative time points were observed and their correlation with vascular restenosis was anlyzed . Results (1)The cerebral artery stenosis degree and serum hs-CRP and IL-6 levels were positively correlated(P<0 .05) .(2)Com-paring the hs-CRP and IL-6 levels at different time points showed that the postoperative hs-CRP and IL-6 levels were significantly increased ,reached the highest at postoperative 12 h and then gradually declined .The hs-CRP and IL-6 levels on postoperative 7 d in the patients with restenosis were significantly higher than those in the patients without restenosis (P<0 .05) .(3)The hs-CRP and IL-6 levels at postoperative 6 months in the patients without restenosis were significantly decreased compared with before opera-tion ,but which in the patients with restenosis had no statistically significant differences (P>0 .05);△hs-CRP and △IL-6 had sta-tistically significant differences between the patients with restenosis and the patients without restenosis (P<0 .05) .Conclusion hs-CRP and IL-6 may play an important role in the process of restenosis after stent angioplasty in cerebral arterial stenosis .Monitoring the dynamic changes of hs-CRP and IL-6 has certain value for evaluating vascular restenosis .

Objective To study the prognosis and pre-procedural independent risk factors for pa-tients with no-reflow (NR) phenomenon during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Pa-tients with or without NR phenomenon during PCI procedures from January 2000 to January 2005 were studied retrospectively. The clinical data preoperative and the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) between the two groups were compared. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic analysis were used to select the risk factors for NR phenomenon. Retrospectively was reviewed for (35.8 ± 15.3)months. Results The NR group had more significant incidence of MACE. Multivariate Logistic analysis showed that the predictive factors for NR were (1) Smoke index ≥ 300(OR = 2.81,95%CI: 1.61-4.38 ,P =0.007). (2) Fasting blood glucose level before PCI ≥ 11.1 mmol/L (OR = 3.39,95%CI: 1.51-4.89,P = 0.000 ). (3) Absence of angina pectoris attack within one month before PCI (OR = 2.39,95%CI: 1.22-3.78,P = 0.009). Conclusions The prognosis is poor for the PCI patients with NR phenomenon. Those patients whose fasting blood glucose level before PCI ≥ 11.1 mm01/L, smoke index ≥ 300 and absence of angina pec-toffs attack within one month before PCI have higher incidence of NR phenomenon.

Objective:Based on the construction of benign organizational climate of tertiary public hospitals, this paper tries to understand the practical demands of hospital staff for the internal organizational climate.Methods:A seven-dimension organizational climate questionnaire for public hospitals was designed by literature review and Delphi expert survey method. On the basis of satisfying the reliability and validity test, Kano questionnaire analysis and Better-Worse coefficient analysis were combined to identify the key climate factors to improve the satisfaction of hospital staff.Results:28 climate indicators were divided into: 9 (32.1%) attractive requirements, 7 (25.0%) one-dimensional requirements, 4 (14.3%) hybrid requirements, 6 (21.4%) must-be requirements, and 2 (7.2%) indifference requirements.Conclusions:According to Kano model classification results and satisfaction influence matrix distribution results, Some suggestions are put forward for constructing benign organizational climate in hospitals from the aspects of constructing equitable system, popularizing democratic leadership, attaching importance to cultivating scientific research and improving humanistic care.

Aeriscardovia aeriphila, also known as Bifidobacterium aerophilum, was first isolated from the caecal contents of pigs and the faeces of cotton-top tamarin. Bifidobacterium species play important roles in preventing intestinal infections, decreasing cholesterol levels, and stimulating the immune system. In this study, we isolated a strain of bacteria from the duodenal contents of broiler chickens, which was identified as A. aeriphila, and then evaluated the effects of A. aeriphila on growth performance, antioxidant functions, immune functions, and gut microbiota in commercial broiler chickens. Chickens were orally gavaged with A. aeriphila (1×109 CFU/mL) for 21 d. The results showed that A. aeriphila treatment significantly increased the average daily gain and reduced the feed conversion ratio (P<0.001). The levels of serum growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) were significantly increased following A. aeriphila treatment (P<0.05). Blood urea nitrogen and aspartate aminotransferase levels were decreased, whereas glucose and creatinine levels increased as a result of A. aeriphila treatment. Furthermore, the levels of serum antioxidant enzymes, including catalase (P<0.01), superoxide dismutase (P<0.001), and glutathione peroxidase (P<0.05), and total antioxidant capacity (P<0.05) were enhanced following A. aeriphila treatment. A. aeriphila treatment significantly increased the levels of serum immunoglobulin A (IgA) (P<0.05), IgG (P<0.01), IgM (P<0.05), interleukin-1 (IL-1) (P<0.05), IL-4 (P<0.05), and IL-10 (P<0.05). The broiler chickens in the A. aeriphila group had higher secretory IgA (SIgA) levels in the duodenum (P<0.01), jejunum (P<0.001), and cecum (P<0.001) than those in the control group. The messenger RNA (mRNA) relative expression levels of IL-10 (P<0.05) and IL-4 (P<0.001) in the intestinal mucosa of chickens were increased, while nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) (P<0.001) expression was decreased in the A. aeriphila group compared to the control group. Phylum-level analysis revealed Firmicutes as the main phylum, followed by Bacteroidetes, in both groups. The data also found that Phascolarctobacterium and Barnesiella were increased in A. aeriphila-treated group. In conclusion, oral administration of A. aeriphila could improve the growth performance, serum antioxidant capacity, immune modulation, and gut health of broilers. Our findings may provide important information for the application of A. aeriphila in poultry production.
