Objective: To study the selenium(Se) chemical forms in Se enriched tea by fertilizing sodiums selenite in soil and tea naturally high in Se and compare their antioxidant function. Methods: The Se enriched tea was produced by fertilization of sodium selenite through biological transformation of tea tree in low Se content soil. Five groups of rats were fed basal low Se diet and basal diet with sodium selenite, extractions of low Se tea, Se enriched tea by fertilizing with sodium selenite, and tea naturally high in Se. The Se chemical forms and antioxidant function of rats fed with different Se resource were detemined after 8 wks. Results: The proportion of organic forms of Se and Se protein were almost the same in Se enriched tea and tea naturally high in Se. The Se absorption and utilization rates were 65.41%, 68.05% ,and 70.49% for sodium selenite, Se enriched tea and tea naturally high in Se respectively. It showed that the availability of Se in Se enriched tea was higher than that in sodium selenite. The Se content of blood and liver, GSH Px activity were significantly increased by feeding extraction of Se enriched tea compared with control, sodium selenite and low Se tea.. Conclusion: The biological effect of organic form Se in Se enriched tea is higher than that of sodium selenite, and the Se enriched tea produced by fertilizing sodium selenite in low Se soil is as effective as tea naturally high in Se. The Se enriched tea is safe and effective in increasing the Se intake of both human and animals in low Se area.

Objective To detect the antibiotic resistance of four kinds of gram-negative bacilli strains against seven antibiotics and to analyze the differences in antibiotic resistance between the strains isolated in intensive care unit (ICU) and common wards.Methods This study involved 3 238 gram-negative bacilli strains isolated in Beijing Tongren Hospital from January to December 2016.Of all strains, 46.6% were isolated in ICU (severe group) and 53.4% were isolated in common wards (general group).Resistance of these strains to seven kinds of antibiotics was detected and the differences between the two groups were analyzed.Results Antibiotic resistance rates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains to ceftriaxone, cefepime and imipenem were 41.7%, 41.2% and 39.5% in severe group and 20.9%, 21.7% and 17.1% in general group.Moreover, the differences between the two groups were all statistically significant (χ2Cefatriaxone=56.72, P<0.01;χ2Cefepime=49.12, P<0.01;χ2Imipenem=69.81, P<0.01).Antibiotic resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains to imipenem was 17.2% in severe group and 8.8% in general group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2Imipenem=11.48, P<0.01).Resistance rates of Escherichia coli strains to ceftriaxone and cefepime were 72.9% and 35.8% in severe group and 44.7% and 13.3% in general group, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (χ2Ceftriaxone=40.13, P<0.01;χ2Cefepime=41.61, P<0.01).More than 60% of Acinetobacter baumanii strains whether they were isolated in ICU or in common wards were resistant to all the seven antibiotics, and there were no significant differences between the two groups.Conclusion Gram-negative bacilli strains isolated in ICU have higher resistance rates than those isolated in common wards and therefore antibiotics should be used differently.Regular monitoring of drug resistance should be strengthened to provide references for empirical clinical medication.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of treponema pallidum particle agglutination (TPPA) and toludine red unheated serum test (TRUST) for the therapeutic effects of early syphilis.Methods Syphilis patients visited the Dermatological Department of Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2012 to October 2016 were recruited, including 189 patients with early syphilis and 39 patients without clinical symptoms but with risky behavior within 3 months.Serum samples were tested by TPPA and TRUST respectively before treatment and at month 3, 6, 12 after treatment.Comparison between groups was done by χ2 test.Results Serum TPPA results of 228 patients with early syphilis prior to the treatment and within 12 months after treatment were all positive.Before treatment, TRUST tests results of 225 patients were positive, and 156 patients turned negative after 12 months of treatment with the negative conversion rate of 69.3%.The TRUST titer ≤1∶4 before treatment was defined as low-titer group, and ≥1∶8 before treatment was defined as high-titer group.There were 93 patients in the low-titer group, including 3 patients with negative results, and 90 patients with titer 1∶1-1∶4.There were 135 patients in the high-titer group.Twenty-seven patients achieved TRUST negative conversion after 3 months of treatment, among which 19.35%(18/93) with the negative conversion rate in the low-titer group and 6.67%(9/135) in the high-titer group.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=7.10, P<0.01).Sixty-two patients converted into negative results of TRUST assay after 6 months of treatment, including 36.56%(34/93) in the low-titer group and 11.85%(16/135) in the high-titer group whose titer of 1∶1-1∶4, and 6.45%(6/93) in the low-titer group and 4.44%(6/135) in the high-titer group whose titer ≥1∶8 turned negative.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=17.10, P<0.01).There were 67 patients converted negative detected by TRUST assay after 12 months of treatment, including 23.66%(22/93) in the low-titer group with titer of 1∶1-1∶4 and 14.81%(20/135) in the high titer group, and 1.08%(1/93) in the low-titer group and 17.78%(24/135) in the high-titer group whose titer ≥1∶8 were turned negative.The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (χ2=1.51, P>0.05).Conclusion Serological tests combined with clinical signs can accurately diagnose early syphilis and evaluate the therapeutic effects.

Objective To evaluate the effects of four types of variance reduction techniques ( ring counter grid, high electron cutoff energy, termination of electron tracking in some structures, and emission direction?biased sampling of source) on the efficiency and accuracy of Monte Carlo simulation for the single source channel of the Leksell Gamma Knife. Methods The single source channel of the Leksell Gamma Knife was modeled using Monte Carlo software MCNP . Four types of variance reduction techniques were used to simulate the dose distribution in the water?like phantom. The computation efficiency and simulation result were compared between the four techniques. Results All techniques substantially improved the computation efficiency and had little effect on the accuracy of the simulation ( relative error less than 2. 5%) . However, if the electron cutoff energy was above 50 keV, the simulation became quite inaccurate due to neglect of the scattering of high?energy electrons and their dosimetric contribution to the penumbra. When the scattering of high?energy electrons and their dosimetric contribution to the penumbra were ignored, the dose to the Profile platform was overestimated and the dose to the penumbra was underestimated. Conclusions Rational use of variance reduction techniques can substantially improve the efficiency of Monte Carlo simulation for the single source channel of the Leksell Gamma Knife. However, the impact of variance reduction techniques on the accuracy of the simulation should be carefully evaluated.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of genes conferring aminoglycoside resistance in multidrug-resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumannii (MDR-ABA).Methods Multidrug-resistant A.baumannii strains were isolated during the period from August to November 2012 from patients in the affiliated hospital of Jiangsu University and the First Hospital of Zhen-jiang.Kirby-Bauer diffusion method was used to determine the susceptibility of these strains to antimicrobial agents.PCR was performed to detect the aminoglycoside resistance genes.Results The 36 MDR-ABA strains showed high resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents except cefoperazone-sulbactam.The prevalence of the genes conferring aminoglycoside resistance, aac (3)-I,aac (6’)-Ib,aph (3’)-I and armA,was 72.2% (26/36),72.2% (26/36),80.6% (29/36)and 80.6% (29/36), respectively.Conclusions The MDR-ABA strains in this study are highly resistant to antimicrobial agents,which is closely as-sociated with the genes conferring aminoglycoside resistance.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the protective effect of hydrogen against hyperoxia-induced oxidative stress injury in premature rat type II alveolar epithelial cells (AECs).

METHODSThe type II AECs isolated from premature rats were randomly divided into air (21% oxygen) control group, hyperoxia (95% oxygen) control group, air + hydrogen group, and hyperoxia+ hydrogen group. The cells with hydrogen treatment were cultured in the presence of rich hydrogen. After the corresponding exposure for 24 h, the cell morphology was observed microscopically. MTT assay was used to evaluated the cell proliferation ability, and JC-1 fluorescence probe was used to detect the mitochondrial membrane potential (δφ) changes of the type II AECs. The concentration of maleic dialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the cell supernatant were detected using colorimetric method.

RESULTSNo significant differences were found in cell growth or measurements between air control and air + hydrogen groups. Compared with air control group, the cells exposed to hyperoxia showed significantly suppressed proliferation, reduced mitochondrial membrane potential, increased MDA content, and decreased SOD activity. Intervention with hydrogen resulted in significantly increased cell proliferation and SOD activity and lowered MDA content, and restored the mitochondrial membrane potential in the cells with hyperoxia exposure (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONHydrogen can significantly reduce hyperoxia-induced oxidative stress injury in premature rat type II AECs, improve the cellular antioxidant capacity, stabilize the mitochondrial membrane potential, and reduce the inhibitory effect of hyperoxia on cell proliferation.

Objective To systematically evaluate the effect of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen (HFNC) on improving the atelectasis and respiratory function in adults after cardiac surgeries.Methods All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about HFNC therapy for adults after cardiac surgeries published from January 2000 to March 2018 were searched through CNKI, CBM, VIP, Wanfang, PubMed, Springer Link, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library. The references from relevant articles were searched. The experimental group was treated with HFNC while the control group treated with conventional oxygen therapy (COT). The outcome measurements included radiological atelectasis score (RAS), endotracheal reintubation rate and the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay. Two researchers were responsible for literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation respectively. Meta-analysis was performed with RevMan 5.2 software. Funnel plot was used to analyze the publication bias.Results A total of 4 RCTs were enrolled and 643 patients were included (325 in experimental group and 318 in control group). Meta-analysis showed that the tracheal reintubation rate in experimental group was lower than that in control group [odds ratio (OR) = 0.26, 95％ confidence interval (95％CI) = 0.09-0.74,P = 0.01], but there was no significant difference in RAS [mean difference (MD) = -0.15, 95％CI = -0.50-0.21,P = 0.41] and the length of ICU stay (MD= 0.09, 95％CI =-0.09-0.26,P = 0.33) between experimental group and control group. Sensitivity analysis was performed in two trials with low risk of bias, which demonstrated that there was no significant difference in RAS between the two groups (MD =0.06, 95％CI = -0.26-0.37,P = 0.73). It was shown by the funnel analysis that there was bias in the study of the length of ICU stay in the literature, while the bias of RAS and tracheal reintubation rate was low.Conclusion Compared with COT, HFNC could reduce the rate of tracheal reintubation in adults after cardiac surgeries, but no difference was found in improving atelectasis or reducing the length of ICU stay.
