OBJECTIVE To analyze the morbility of nosocomial pulmonary acquired infection and related factors after operation of head injury,and inquire into effective countermeasures. METHODS By methods of retrospective investigation,280 patients in hospital form Jan 2005 to Jan 2007 operated for craniocerebral trauma had investigated on mortality rates of pulmonary infection and related factorsRESULTS The rates of pulmonary infection was 18.2% in 280 patients,the death rate was 38.7% in infected group. and group 13.7% in uninfected. The risk factors of nosocomial pulmonary infection were lower immunity among elderly patients,long-time in hospital,general anesthesia intubation,trachea incision and the use of respiraters. CONCLUSIONS The mortality and morbidity rates of pulmonary infection are both higher for the head injury patients. It's important to prevent infection. According to the main risk factors,to take corresponding protection measures,comprehensive supervision,and emphasis enhencing prevention and control;meanwhile to improve the quality of treatment and nurse,and reduce morbility and death rates of pulmonary infection.

Objective To observe the change of the sera lipid profiles in patients with chronic hepatitis B Virus (HBV)infec-tion.Methods Sera from 254 patients suffered from liver disease were collected and divided into four groups according to the severity of the disease (71 of Cirrhosis;80,46,51 of Light,Moderate and Highly severity of the chronic HBV infection, respectively).Sera of 59 healthy patients were collected as control.The concentrations of their sera lipids (CHOL and TG), lipoprotein (HDL and LDL)and apolipoproteins (ApoA-I and ApoB)were determined and compared.Results Compared to the control group,the levels of the CHOL,TG,HDL,LDL,ApoA-I and ApoB were varied in degree in the chronic HBV in-fection group and the cirrhosis group.For the highly severity group and the cirrhosis group,statistics analysis showed de-creased and significantly different lipid and apolipoprotein results when compared to the control group.For the light and moderate severity group,when compared to the control group,levels of TG,HDL and ApoA-I were decreased with remarka-ble difference.The ApoB/ApoA-I ratio of the chronic HBV infection (Highly severity group)was 2.10±1.44,which was significantly higher than that of any other group (P<0.05).Conclusion The ApoB/ApoA-I ratio can be a potential marker for the evaluation of the severity of the chronic HBV infection.

Objective To observe the clinical effects of sufentanil combined with sevoflurane for anesthesia induction in the elderly.Methods A total of 84 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic were randomly divided into 4 groups by dose of Sufentanil (21 cases,each):0.25,0.50,0.75 and 1.00 μg/kg sufentanil.Mean arterial pressure (MAP)and heart rate (HR)were measured at baseline (To),immediately before intubation(T1),immediately,1,3 and 5 min after intubation(T2-5).Intubation scores were also recorded.Results The intubation scores including visual analogue score (VAS) and Ramsay score at 10 min,30 min and 60 min after tube drawing were as the following sequence:1.0 μg/kg ＞ 0.75 μg/kg ＞0.5 μg/kg ＞ 0.25 μg/kg sufentanil (F =5.78.P＜ 0.05).Compared with T0,MAP and HR decreased in each group at T1,while increased at T2 in group A (P＜0.05).As compared with T0,MAP was decreased and HR was slower at T1 in the 4 groups (F=34.99,P＜0.05),but MAP level was increased in 0.25 μg/kg sufentanil group at T2 (F=12.48,P＜0.05).Compared with group of 0.25 μg/kg sufentanil,MAP was reduced in 0.75 μg/kg and 1.00 μg/kg groups at T4 andT5 (F =6.98,6.25,P＜0.05).MAP was also lower in 0.75μg/kg and 1.00μg/kg groups than in 0.50 μg/kg sufentanil group at T2-T5(F=7.08,20.56,P＜0.05).Conclusions Sufentanil of 0.25 0.50 μg/kg combined with sevoflurane can provide excellent intubating conditions and stable hemodynamics during anesthesia induction in patients undergoing gynecologic surgery.

Objective To investigate the association of ulcerative colitis (UC) with fork head/ winged helix transcription factor-3 (Foxp3) polymorphisms in Han population in Zhejiang province,China.Methods A total of 381 UC patients and 490 healthy controls were enrolled in this study.The four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of Foxp3 (rs3761547,rs2232365,rs2294021,rs3761548) were examined by SNaPshot.The analyses of linkage disequilibrium (LD) and haplotype were also performed in all study subjects.Results When male and female UC patients were compared with their corresponding controls respectively,the alleles and genotypes of the four SNPs were not statistically different (all P ＞0.05).According to severity and location of the disease,the UC patients were divided into different subgroups.The alleles (C,G,A) of (rs2232365,rs2294021,rs3761548) were more frequent in male patients with severe UC than in the male controls (69.6％ vs 34.3％,P =0.001;69.6％ vs 34.3％,P =0.001;39.1％ vs 14.4％,P =0.002,respectively).As compared with the female controls,the alleles (C,G,A) and genotypes (TC + CC,AG + GG,CA + AA) of (rs2232365,rs2294021,rs3761548) were significantly increased in the female patients with severe UC (51.9％ vs 38.0％,63.5％ vs 39.2％,53.8％ vs21.4％,80.8％ vs57.7％,84.6％ vs58.4％,76.9％ vs34.7％,all P＜0.05).The four SNPs above were shown to be in a strong LD both in male and in female subjects.When male and female UC patients were compared with their corresponding controls respectively,nevertheless,each haplotype frequency was not statistically different (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Foxp3 (rs2232365,rs2294021,rs3761548) variations might engender the increased risk of severe UC in Chinese Han patients.

A total of 60 ankylosing spondylitis patients scheduled for elective surgery with anticipated difficult airway were enrolled and randomly assigned into either dexmedetomidine (D) or midazolam plus sufentanil (MF) group.Group D:topical nasal anesthesia and a loading dose of dexmedetomidine at 1.0 μg/kg in 10 min; group MF:intravenous infusion of 0.05 mg/kg midazolam plus 3 μg/kg sufentanil.Fiberoptic bronchoscopic (FOB)-assisted awake nasotracheal intubation was performed.Mean arterial pressure (MAP),heart rate (HR),Pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2),Ramsay score and success rate of intubation were recorded and compared between two groups.The intubation conditions and level of comfort were also evaluated.MAP and HR of group D at FOB through postnaris (T1),peep the epiglottis(T2),intubation success immediately(T3)and 1 min after intubation(T4) were significantly lower (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01) than those of group MF while Ramsay sedation scores were obviously higher (P ＜ 0.05) than those of group MF.Group D with endotracheal intubation comfort level 5 score of grade 1-2 were 8 and 14 cases and were significantly higher than 4 and 10 cases of group MF.Immediately after intubation,level 3 scores in grade 1 of group D (n =21) were significantly higher than group MF (n =12) ; initial success rate of intubation in group D was obviously higher than that in group MF (70％,n =21 vs.47％,n =14).And the incidence of unpleasant intubation memory in group D was lower than that in group MF (37％,n =11 vs.67％,n =20).Fiberoptic bronchoscopic-assisted nasotracheal intubation offers better conditions for intubation and reduces the incidence rate of intraoperative awareness.

Objective To explore the association of genetic polymorphism of fucosyltransferase (FUT) 2 and FUT3 and expression of Lewis antigen with ulcerative colitis (UC) in Chinese Zhejiang Han population.Methods We genotyped FUT2 (rs281377, rs1047781 and rs601338) and FUT3 (rs28362459, rs3745635 and rs3894326) in 485 UC patients and 580 healthy controls using SNaPshot. By immunohistochemistry method, we also evaluated expression of Lewis a and b antigens in the sigmoid colon of 10 UC patients and 10 patients with benign colonic polyps.Results The frequencies of mutant allele (A) and genotype (GA+AA) in FUT3 rs3745635 were higher in UC patients than in controls (P=0.016, 95%CI 1.339-1.699;P=0.038, 95%CI 1.330-1.742, respectively). Stratified analyses revealed that the frequencies of mutant allele (G) and genotype (TG+GG) of FUT3 rs28362459 were significantly lower in patients with extensive colitis than in those with distal colitis (P=0.001, 95%CI 0.567-0.786;P<0.001, 95%CI 0.503-0.742, respectively). Similar conclusions were drawn for the mutant allele (A) and genotype (GA+AA) of FUT3 rs3745635 in patients with extensive colitis compared to those with distal colitis (P=0.011, 95%CI 0.621-0.900;P=0.006, 95%CI 0.553-0.845, respectively). Although expression of Lewis b antigen in the sigmoid colon did not differ between UC patients and controls, Lewis a antigen expression was higher in the crypt epithelium of both inflammatory and non-inflammatory sigmoid colon of UC patients than in controls (P=0.028).Conclusion Polymorphisms of FUT3 and expression level of Lewis a antigen might be associated with UC.

Objective To analyze the association of Crohn's disease(CD)with vitamin D receptor(VDR) gene polymorphisms. Methods After collecting 326 CD patients and 464 healthy controls,the four single nucleotide polymorphisms of VDR (FokI, BsmI, ApaI and TaqI) were examined by a SNaPshot technique. Results Compared with those in controls,the frequencies of mutant allele(A)and genotype(GA+AA)of BsmI were significantly decreased in CD patients(both P=0.001). The similar conclusions were also drawn for the mutant allele(C)and genotype(TC+CC)of TaqI(both P<0.05). In further stratified analysis,compared with those in controls,the mutant alleles and genotypes of BsmI and TaqI were significantly reduced in stenotic type CD patients (all P<0.0083). The analyses of linkage disequilibrium(LD)and haplotype showed that BsmI,ApaI and TaqI were in a strong LD,and the formed haplotype AAC was significantly lower in CD patients than that in controls (P <0.05). Conclusions VDR(BsmI and TaqI)polymorphisms are significantly related with the reduced susceptibility to CD,especially for patients with stenotic CD. Moreover,the haplotype AAC might engender a reduced risk of CD.

Objective To explore the association of Crohn's disease (CD) with T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (Tim-3) gene polymorphisms in patients of Zhejiang Han population in China.Methods A total of 308 CD patients and 573 age-and sex-matched healthy controls were enrolled in our study.Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of Tim-3 (rs1036199 and rs10515746) were examined by the improved multiple ligase detection reaction technique (iMLDR).Analyses of linkage disequilibrium and haplotype were also performed by Haploview 4.2 software in all study subjects.Results In general,the allele and genotype frequencies of Tim-3 (rs1036199 and rs10515746) were not statistically different between CD patients and the controls (all P ＞0.05).According to the Montreal Classification,CD patients were divided into different subgroups.The variant allele (C) and genotype (AC + CC) of rs1036199 were more frequent in CD patients with penetrating diseases than in the controls (10.4％ vs 1.7％,P =0.002;20.8％ vs 3.5％,P =0.023).Similar conclusions were also drawn for the variant allele (A) and genotype (CA + AA) of rs10515746 in patients with penetrating diseases when compared with the controls (10.4％ vs 2.2％,P =0.000;20.8％ vs 4.2％,P =0.033,respectively).The two SNPs of Tim-3 were in strong linkage disequilibrium (D'=1.0,r2 =0.928).The haplotype (AC) formed by their wild-type alleles (A) and (C) was decreased in patients with penetrating CD compared with the controls (89.6％ vs 98.3％,P =0.000).However,the haplotype (CA) formed by their variant alleles was more frequent in patients with penetrating CD than in the controls (10.4％ vs 1.6％,P =0.000).Conclusions Tim-3 (rs1036199 and rs10515746) variations might be correlated with the enhanced risk of penetrating diseases in CD patients.Furthermore,the haplotype (AC) and (CA) formed by the two SNPs might be a protective and a risky factor for penetrating CD respectively.

Objective To investigate associations of UC with the polymorphisms of TRAIL receptors.Methods From January 2008 to December 2012, 380 consecutive UC patients [215 males and 165 females, the average age was (42.63 ±14.61) years] as well as 539 sex-and age-matched healthy individuals [290 males and 249 females, the average age was (41.29 ±15.86) years] were recruited from four large scale comprehensive hospitals in Wenzhou city.Five single nucleotide polymorphisms of DR4 (rs20575, rs13278062), DR5(rs1047266), DcR2(rs1133782) and OPG (rs3102735) were detected by a SNaPshot technique.Distributions of mutant alleles and genotypes for targeted polymorphisms in TRAIL receptors were analyzed by Chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test. By means of unconditional Logistic regression analysis, it evaluated associations between the polymorphisms and the risk of UC attack as well as the clinical features of UC patients.Furthermore, an unconditional Logistic multiple regression analysis was employed to investigate the independent risk factors of UC and their multiplicative interaction effects on UC.Results The frequencies of mutant allele (G) and genotype (CG+GG) of DR4(rs20575) were higher in UC patients than those in the controls (3.55%vs 1.95%,χ2 =4.512, P=0.034;6.58%vs 3.71%,χ2=3.938, P=0.047, respectively).However, the frequeucies of mutant allele ( A) and genotype ( GA+AA) of DcR2(rs1133782) were decreased in UC patients compared to the controls(6.18%vs 9.09%,χ2=5.183, P=0.023; 11.32% vs 17.44%, χ2 =6.589, P=0.010, respectively).The frequencies of mutant allele (T) and homozygote (TT) of OPG(rs3102735) were significantly higher in UC patients than in the controls (86.32% vs 81.54%, χ2 =7.385, P=0.007;75.26% vs 66.98%, χ2 =7.346, P=0.007, respectively) .Furthermore, the genotype (GG) of DcR2 (rs1133782) was found to be the independent risk factor for UC attack (OR=4.937, 95%CI:2.320-10.504, P<0.001).Moreover, the (GG) of DcR2(rs1133782) and (CC) of DR4(rs20575) had an interactive effect on UC (OR=0.322, 95%CI:0.164-0.633, P=0.001).The same conclusion was drawn for the ( GG) of DR4( rs20575) and (TT) of OPG(rs3102735) (OR=1.580, 95%CI:1.165-2.144, P=0.003).Conclusions The genetic polymorphisms of DR4 ( rs20575 ) , DcR2 ( rs1133782 ) and OPG ( rs3102735 ) were associated with UC. The mutation of DcR2(rs1133782) might play a protective role in UC.Moreover, the DcR2(rs1133782) and DR4(rs20575) gene had a collaborative effect on UC.So did the DR4(rs20575) and OPG(rs3102735) genes.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical features of tumors primarily in the pterygopalatine fossa, and the efficiency of surgical management for these lesions. METHODS The clinical data of 7 cases with tumors primarily in the pterygopalatine fossa were retrospectively studied. Three of them were primary diseases, i.e. fibrous histiocytoma, neurofibroma and cholesteatoma. The other 4 cases were secondary tumors mainly located in pterygopalatine fossa. There were 1 case with epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma, 1 case with adenoid cystic carcinoma , 1 case with recurrent inverted nasal papilloma, 1 case with recurrent malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Approaches to tumors in pterygopalatine fossa lesions included lateral rhinotomy, and transnasal or transantrum approaches under the nasal endoscope. RESULTS The patient suffered from adenoid cystic carcinoma developed local recurrence 4 months after operation, and extended resection of the recurrent tumor with laser was performed again. No further recurrence was found after following-up for 3 years. Neither local recurrence nor regional metastasis was found in the remaining 6 cases with a follow-up period of 2 to 4 years. The main complication was oronasal fistula. CONCLUSION CT scan or MRI is the main method to the early diagnosis of pterygopalatine fossa tumors. Lateral rhinotomy, endoscopic trasnnasal or transantrum approaches are feasible procedures to resect the tumors.
