Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia infected by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (Sm) after open heart surgery.Methods The infections of Sm were proved by sputum culture.The data of risk factors?clinical feature and drug susceptibility were collected.Results Pneumonia of Sm occurred in 8 patients.They were often in poor conditions,in need of continuous mechanical ventilation and other inventions, and in use of extend-spectrum antibiotics.The infections of Sm hadn't special clinical manifestations. The isolates of Sm resistant to many antibiotics were usually found with other microorganisms.Conclusion It is important to pay more attention to pneumonia of Sm and to complete microbiological examinations in time,because patients after cardiosurgery are in great risk of the infection.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and to evaluate prognosis of critically ill patients who developed acute renal failure(ARF).Methods A retrospective study was carried out in critically ill patients who developed ARF.APACHE Ⅱ,SAPSⅡ,SOFA and ATN-ISI were used to evaluate outcome of ARF.Results The incidence of ARF in critically ill patients was 19.1% with a high mortality(51.2%).The clinical characteristics of 41 patients with ARF were:mechanical ventilation 65.9%,vasopressor support 46.3%,oliguria 41.5%,number of insufficient organs 2.16,APACHEⅡscore 17.3,SAPSⅡ score 52.0,SOFA score 9.26 and ATN-ISI 0.54.By COX regression,number of insufficient organs(RR 2.54;95%CI 1.316 ~ 4.913)(P=0.006)and requirement of mechanical ventilation(RR 6.0;95%CI 1.102~32.6)(P=0.038)were independent risk factors for ICU mortality of ARF.APACHEⅡscore,SAPSⅡscore,SOFA score and ATN-ISI were demonstrated to predict mortality of ARF patients accurately as indicated by areas under the receiver operating characteristics(ROC)curves of 0.848(95% CI: 0.722~0.974;P

Objective To investigate the influence of recombinant human parathyroid hormone [rhPTH (1-34)]on the proliferation of HaCaT cells induced by tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in vitro.Methods Cultured HaCaT cells were treated with various concentrations of rhPTH (1-34) for different durations after incubation with recombinant human TNF-α of 10 g/L for 24 hours.MTT assay and flow cytometry were performed to detect the proliferation and cell cycle of HaCaT cells,respectively.Results As contrast phase microscopy showed,the growth of HaCaT cells was inhibited by rhPTH (1-34) along with a decrease in the growth speed.MTT assay showed a suppressed proliferation of HaCaT cells after being treated with rhPTH (1-34) of 0.05,0.2,0.8,3.2 and 12.8 pmol/L for 36 and 48 hours (P＜ 0.01 or 0.05).The percentage of cells at G1 phase in HaCaT cells markedly increased (all P ＜ 0.01 ),while that at S phase declined (all P ＜ 0.01 )after 48-hour treatment with rhPTH(1-34) of 0.2,0.8,3.2 and 12.8 μ mol/L.Conclusions rhPTH(1-34) has an obvious inhibitive effect on the proliferation of HaCaT cells induced by TNF-α in vitro,and the effect is in a dose-dependent manner.

OBJECTIVETo introduce a simple, fast and universal measuring method used in measurement of the surface area of scalp flap over the cranial defect after decompressive craniectomy.

METHODSThe first step: CT images of the patient with craniocerebral trauma after decompressive craniectomy were obtained and imported into Mimics. The second step: based on the defined threshold, the 3D geometric models of brain and skull were reconstructed after the original Dicom format pictures three-dimensional processed by Mimics. The third step: based on the two builded 3D models, utilizing the segmentation and measurement tools of Mimics to conduct cutting, splitting and measuring operations for the 3D model of brain. The forth step: estimating the surface area of scalp flap over the removed bone flap by using mathematical computation methods.

RESULTSThe application of the introduced method estimated the surface area of scalp flap over the cranial defect of different people with different position of craniocerebral trauma.

CONCLUSIONSThis paper introduces a simple, fast and universal new measuring method. We can conveniently estimate the surface area of scalp flap by using the introduced method.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of 1,25(OH)zD3 on podocyte apoptosis in kidney of puremyein aminonueleoside nephropathy (PAN) rats. Methods Seventy-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: PAN model group(PAN), 1,25 (OH)2D3 treated group (T, 0.2 μg·kg-1d-1 by garages) and normal control group (NC). PAN rat model was constructed by a single intravenous injection of 100 mg/kg body weight. Renal function and 24hour urinary protein were measured at day 3, 7, 14, 21 after PAN injection. The renal tissue morphology was observed by light and electron microscope. Podocyte apeptosis was evaluated by TUNEL. Protein expressions of nephrin, TGF-β1 and p-Smad2/3 were examined by immunofluoreacence, immunohistochemistry and Western blot, respectively. Results(1)The levels of serum creafinine, BUN and 24-h urinary protein [(20.26±4.87) mg vs (1.01±0.41) mg at day 7, P ＜0.01] were significantly higher and the number of glomerular pedocyte was significantly lower [(10.9±4.2)/glomerular volume vs (31.9±6.2)/glomerular volume at day 14, P＜0.01] in PAN group compared with NC group. T group rats had less urinary protein excretion [(9.95±3.82) mg/24 h, P＜0.01] and more glomerular podocytes compared with PAN group. (2) Distribution of nephrin expression was changed from linear to granular pattern in PAN rats on day 7, nephrin mRNA and protein expressions were markedly decreased(P＜0.01), while the number of apoptotic podocyte was increased in PAN group(P＜0.01). However, higher nephrin expression and less apoptotic podocytes were found in T group (P＜0.01). (3) Compared with NC group, the mRNA and protein expression of TGF-β1 and p-Smad2/3 were higher in PAN group (P＜0.01), while 1,25 (OH)2D3 treatment abrogated PAN-induced changes in the expression of TGF-β1 and p-Smad2/3 (P＜0.01). Conclusions 1,25 (OH)2D3 can significantly suppress PAN-induced podocyte apoptosis and ameliorate proteinnuria. The beneficial effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 on podocyte may contribute to direct suppression of TGF-β signaling.
