OBJECTIVE To understand environmental factors which cause nosocomial infection in ICU. METHODS Air sampling adopted by plain board exposure and hand and object appearance by cotton wool method according to Disinfection Technique Regulation published by Ministry of Health. RESULTS From 289 samples, 182 were qualified and pass ratio was 62.98%. Staphylococcus aureus and mixed opportunistic pathogens were the main bacteria on the air and objects. CONCLUSIONS Through monitoring and analyzing environmental factors of ICU nosocomial infection, to control the prevalence and outbreak of ICU nosocomial infection as well as reduce the chance of infection.

Objective To investigate the effects of MMI-166 on apoptosis and apoptosis-related protein expression of human pancreatic cancer SW1990 cells and its transplanted tumor,and explore possible mechanism.Methods The human pancreatic cancer xenograft model was constructed by using human pancreatic cancer SW1990 cells.Tumor-bearing nude mice were randomly divided into control and MMI-166 groups,and they were treated with normal saline or MMI-166 (200 mg · kg-1 · d-1) for 28 days.Apoptosis index (AI),p53,c-Myc,Bax,Bcl-2,Survivin,Caspase-1,Fas proteins were detected by deoxynucl-eotidyl transferase-mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL method) and Western blot.MMI-166 of different concentrations (0,50,100 μg/ml) were used to treat human pancreatic cancer SW1990 cell for 24 h.The c-Myc,Survivin proteins expressions were measured by Western blotting.Results Apoptosis index in MMI-166 group was 81.1 ±7.9,which was significantly higher than that in control group (21.3 ±2.2,P =0.000) ; the expressions of c-Myc,Survivin were 7715 ± 2229,4594 ± 1240,which were significantly higher than those in control group (16870 ± 2446,15208 ± 1903,P =0.000) ; the expressions of p53,Bax,Bcl-2,Caspase-1,Fas were not significantly different from those in control group.After 50,100 μg/ml MMI-166 treatment,the expression of c-Myc was significantly down-regulated (0.098 ± 0.003,0.073 ± 0.008 vs.0.169 ± 0.007,F =189.361,P < 0.05) ; and the expression of Survivin was not significantly changed.Conclusions MMI-166 may induce cell apoptosis of SW1990 by down-regulating the expression of c-Myc.

Objective To investigate the expressions of TRIM59,Twist and E-cadherin in hepatocellular carcinoma and their clinical significance. Methods The expressions of TRIM59,Twist and E-cadherin protein were tested by immunohistochemistry in 80 cases of hepatocellular carcinomas and the adjacent paracancerous tissues. Results The positive rate of TRIM59 in hepatocellular carcinoma was significantly higher than that in the adjacent paracancerous tissue(76.3%vs. 8.0%,P<0.05). Significant difference was also observed in the expres-sion rate of Twist between the hepatocellular carcinomas and the paracancerous tissue(66.3%vs. 6.0%,P<0.05). The positive rate of E-cadherin in hepatocellular carcinoma was significantly lower than that in the adjacent para-cancerous tissue(27.5%vs. 90.0%,P<0.05). The differences of the expression of TRIM59 in hepatocellular carci-noma of pathological grading,tumor differentiation,vascular invasion and clinical TNM stage were significant(P<0.05). The differences of the expression of Twist in hepatocellular carcinoma of pathological grading ,differentia-tion,vascular invasion and clinical TNM stage was also significant(P<0.05,respectively). The differences of the expression of E-cadherin in hepatocellular carcinoma of pathological grading,differentiation,vascular invasion and clinical TNM stage were also significant(P<0.05,respectively). Significantly positive correlation was also found between TRIM59 and Twist by using spearman correlation analysis(P<0.05). Negative correlations were observed between TRIM59 and E-cadherin(P < 0.05),and between Twist and E-cadherin(P < 0.05). Survival analysis showed that TRIM59 expression was an independent prognostic factor in hepatocellular carcinoma. Conclusion TRIM59,Twist and E-cadherin protein expression might be associated with the development,invasion,and metas-tasis of hepatocellular carcinoma. TRIM59 may become a new target gene for the treatment of human hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and drug resistance of 57 patients with Salmonella infection, and to understand the sensitivity of Salmonella to commonly used antibiotics. Methods Clinical data of 57 Salmonella infection patients admitted in our hospital from January 2016 to February 2019 were collected. After hospitalization, routine examinations such as hematuria and stool were carried out, and fecal bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests were performed. Results Among the 57 patients, the highest incidence of clinical symptoms was abdominal pain and diarrhea (57 cases, 100%), with an average of 7.46±2.03 times. The others were nausea and vomiting (45 cases, 78.95%), fever (43 cases, 75.44%), headache (34 cases, 59.65%), tenesmus (26 cases, 45.61%) and dehydration (25 cases, 43.86%). The results of stool routine examination showed that 51 cases (89.47%) were positive for fecal leukocytes and 45 cases (78.95%) were positive for fecal occult blood test. The results of urine routine test showed that 45 cases (78.95%) were positive for proteinuria and 38 cases (66.67%) for occult blood test. The results of blood routine examination showed that the average value of leukocyte count was (9.98±4.22)×109/L, neutrophils accounted for 79%, and C-reactive protein was (60.15±32.48)mg/L. The results of drug sensitivity showed that the resistant strains to cephalosporins and quinolones accounted for a large proportion of the total strains. Conclusion The main symptoms of Salmonella infection in this area were abdominal pain and diarrhea. Fecal examination and routine urine examination were more valuable for diagnosis. The detection of resistance to quinolone and cephalosporin antibiotics should be strengthened to provide a basis for rational use of drugs.
