The experience of grading nursing care for patients with radioactive proctitis induced by neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy was summarized.Results Of 162 patients,radioactive proctitis occurred in 110 patients(67.9%).Among the 110 patients with proctitis,62(38.3%)were grade I radioactive proctitis,29(17.9%)gradeⅡand 19(11.7%)gradeⅢ.The graded nursing was done to the patients with radioactive proctitis and achieved good effect.Conclusions Radioactive proctitis has a high incidence in rectal cancer patients with preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and graded nursing care can reduce the distress of patients with radioactive proctitis effectively and promote wound healing,thus to improve their quality of life.

Objective To explore, the effect of different dosage of pulmonary surfactant (PS) on the inci-dence of bronchopulmanary dysplasia. Method Four hundred and three premature infants with hyaline membrane disease were divided into 3 groups according to the dose of PS: low-dose group (L-PS group, ≤ 100 mg/kg, n =188) ,high-dose group(H-PS group, > 100 mg/kg, n = 94) and no-PS group (N-PS group, n = 121). The frac-tional inspired oxygen(FiO2) and ptlmonary oxygenating function before and after 6 hours treatment were observed and the durations of oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilation, frequency of repeated intubafion, length of hospi-talization and the incidence of BPD were compared among the three groups. Results After 6 hours PS administra-tion, the FiO2,oxygen index and duration of oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilation were significantly decreased (P <0.05), while PO2 and the arterio-alveolar partial pressure of oxygen were significantly increased (P <0.05)in the H-PS and L-PS groups, compared with the N-PS group. Compared with the L-PS and N-PS groups,the H-PS group showed a decreased incidence of BPD. Conclusions PS administration could improve the pul-monary oxygenation and prevent the development of BPD, especially in high-dose.

Objective:To develop and validate the accuracy of an independent dose calculation toolkit for the horizontal beamline of Shanghai Advanced Proton Therapy (SAPT) facility based on an open-source dose calculation engine.Methods:Machine data, such as absolute integral depth doses (IDDs) and lateral profiles in air were measured and lateral profiles in water were derived by Monte-Carlo simulations. The dose computation models for SAPT horizontal beamline pencil beams in water were achieved by combining machine data and dose calculation engine. The verification of the dose reconstruction toolkit included absolute dose verification and relative dose verification. The absolute dose verification is performed to mainly compare the reconstructed value and the measured value at different depths along the center axis of the beam direction of a cube plan. The relative dose verification is conducted to mainly compare the lateral profile or two-dimensional dose distribution between the measured value and the reconstructed value. Meanwhile, the precision of double-gaussian and single-gaussian lateral beam models was compared.Results:The deviations of the absolute dose between the calculated and measured values were basically within 2%. The deviations of 20%-80% penumbra between the measured and the calculated values were within 1 mm, and deviations of the full width at half height were within 2 mm. For 3 cube plans and 2 clinical cases, the two-dimensional gamma pass rates (3 mm/3%) between the measured and calculated dose distributions at the corresponding depths were greater than 95%. The double-gaussian lateral beam model was more accurate in the high dose gradient region and deeper depth.Conclusion:The precision of independent dose calculation toolkit is acceptable for clinical requirements, which can be employed to investigate other dose-related issues.

Objective:To analyze the influence of magnetic field on the proton beam delivery and dose distribution, and develop a correction method for the Bragg peak (BP) shift under the vertical magnetic field, providing reference for the dose calculation and beam delivery of MRI-guided proton therapy.Methods:Monte Carlo (MC) simulation was used to study the dose distribution of the proton beam in the water phantom under the magnetic field. The BP location was corrected by the method of" angle correction+ energy correction" , and the correction parameters were calculated by the analytical formula based on the simulation data.Results:The magnetic field caused the dose distortion and shift of BP location. The shift degree was increased with the increase of field strength and initial energy. Compared with MC simulation, the result of calculating proton deflection in the air by the analytical method yielded a deviation within 0.2%. Based on the simulation data and calculation formulas, the correction parameters under different conditions could be calculated within 1 s by using the MATLAB programming. The calculation results showed that the air layer with magnetic field, isocenter depth, irradiation direction exerted different influence on the correction parameters. After correction, the BP location was basically consistent with the expected (offset ≤0.2 mm).Conclusions:The BP shift under the vertical magnetic field can be effectively corrected by " the angle correction+ energy correction" method. The correction parameters under different conditions can be quickly and accurately calculated by the calculation formulas based on simulation data.

Objective To investigate the bacterial resistance in nationwide and understand the distribution of bacterial and resistance trend.MethodsThe 6507 clinical isolates were collected from 19 hospitals in 17 cities.The susceptibility tests were performed using agar dilution method recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) in central laboratory.The values of MIC50,MIC90 and MICrange were calculated by SPSS 17.0 and the susceptibilities of isolates to antimicrobial agents were determined by using CLSI (2010) guideline.Of all 6507 isolates,4691 strains were collected from target wards and 1816 were isolated from others wards.ResultsAmong 4691 strains,1156 were Gram-positive (24.6％ ) and 3535 were Gram-negative (75.4％).Based on the minimum inhibitory concentration results,the prevalence of methicillin resistant Stapylococcus aureus and methicillin resistant Stapylococcus epidermidis are 51.6％ ( 325/630 ) and 87.0％ ( 228/262 ) respectively.Staphylococci showing intermediate or full resistance to vancomycin were not observed. Coagulase negative Staphylococci showed 2.5％ (16/642)intermediate rate and 1.6％ ( 10/642 ) full resistance rate to teicoplanin,and showed 0.5％ ( 3/642 )resistance rate to linezolid.Antibiotic resistance rate of Enterococcus faecalis to ampicillin was 17.1％(19/111),while the resistance rate of Enterococcus faecium to ampicillin reached up to 85.0％(164/193).Three Enterococcus faecium were resistant to glycopeptides.The prevalence of penicillin resistance Streptococcus pneumoniae and penicillin intermediate Streptococcus pneumoniae were 41.2％ ( 145/352) and 37.2％ (131/352) respectively based on oral penicillin criterion,while the prevalence were 0.0％ (0/352) and 6.0％(21/352) based on vein to non-meningitis criterion.A vast majority of Enterobacteriaceae maintained high susceptibility to carbapenems,with resistance rate less than 2.0％.In addition,tigecycline,moxalactam,fosfomycin and amikacin displayed desirable antibacterial activity against Enterbacteriaceae,and resistance rates to these drugs were all less than 10.0％.For non-fermenting Gramnegative isolates,resistance rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii to imipenem were 23.1％ ( 139/601 ) and 53.5％ (419/784) respectively.Resistance rate of Acinetobacter baumannii was much higher than that during the period 2007 - 2008.Colistin,tigecycline,minocycline and fosfomycin demonstrated good antibacterial activity against Acinetobacter baumannii in vitro.Conclusions Compared with MOHNARIN 2007 -2008year surveillance results, significant increase in resistance rate of Acinetobacter baumannii was demonstrated.Resistant strains to linezolid and tigecycline were found.Bacterial resistance has been a widespread problem in our country,which requires much more attention.

Objective: To explore the clinical features, the serotype distribution and drug resistance of the isolates in patient with invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). Methods: By retrieving the laboratory information system in 18 children′s hospitals from 2012 to 2017, the children with IPD were enrolled. Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) must be isolated from the sterile sites (blood, cerebrospinal fluid, hydrothorax and joint effusion etc.). The clinical characteristics, serotype, drug resistance, treatment and prognosis were reviewed and analyzed. According to the telephone follow up results, the patients were divided into death group and recovered group. The index as an independent risk factor of mortality was demonstrated by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: There were 1 138 children with IPD, including 684 male and 454 female. The proportion of male to female was 1.5∶1. The age ranged from one day to 16 years. The median age was 1 year 3 month. The majority was under 5 years of age (89.3%, n= 1 016), especially under 2 years of age (61.9%, n=704). In all cases, 88.2% (n=1 004) were community acquired infection. The infections included meningitis (n=446, 39.2%), pneumonia with bacteremia (n=339, 29.8%), and bacteremia without focus (n=232, 20.4%). Underlying diseases were found in 242 cases (21.3%). Co-infections were determined in 62 cases (5.4%) with mycoplasma, 27 cases (2.4%) with adenovirus and 34 cases with influenza virus (3.0%). The penicillin insensitivity (PNSP) rates in meningitis and non-meningitis isolates were 69.5% (276/397) and 35.9% (221/615), respectively. There were 81 strains serotyped, in which 93.8% (76/81) were covered by 13-valent protein-polysaccharide conjugate vaccine (PCV13). In the 965 patients who were followed up by phone call, 156 cases (16.2%) were confirmed dead. The independent risk factors for the death were under 2 years of age (OR=2.143, 95%CI 1.284-3.577, P=0.004), meningitis (OR=3.066, 95%CI 1.852-5.074, P<0.01), underlying disease (OR=4.801, 95%CI 2.953-7.804, P<0.01), septic shock(OR=3.542, 95%CI 1.829-6.859, P<0.01), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) (OR=4.150, 95%CI 1.468-11.733, P=0.007), multiple organ failure (OR=12.693, 95%CI 6.623-24.325, P<0.01) and complications of central nervous system (OR=1.975, 95%CI 1.144-3.410, P=0.015). Conclusions Most children with IPD were under 5 years of age, having underlying diseases and acquired the infection in community. The independent risk factors for death were under two years old, meningitis, underlying diseases and multiple organ failure. The problem of drug resistance was severe. The universal immunization of PCV13 would be effective to prevent IPD in Chinese children.

BACKGROUNDBreast cancer 2 (BRCA2) is an important breast cancer-susceptibility gene. Promoter polymorphisms in BRCA2 may affect its transcription and be associated with cancer prognosis.

METHODSWe identified five polymorphisms of the BRCA2 promoter region by in silico searching and direct sequencing: -254A/G (rs3092989), -908A/G (rs206117), -1134A/G (rs206115), -1144C/T (rs206116), and -1260CTTAGA/- (rs3072036). The -908A/G, -1134A/G, -1144C/T, and -1260CTTAGA/- polymorphisms were genotyped by direct sequencing in 491 breast cancer patients, and the -254A/G polymorphism was genotyped by Sequenom.

RESULTSThe -1144C/T polymorphism was associated with clinical outcome. Carriers of the TT genotype had longer disease-free intervals (DFIs, P = 0.029), especially among patients with sporadic unilateral breast cancer (P = 0.010). Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis showed that all the five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were in LD (D' > 0.8). Carriers of haplotypes containing the -1144T allele showed longer DFIs (P = 0.049), and the result was more significant in patients with sporadic unilateral cancer (P = 0.018). There were no significant associations between the other polymorphisms and DFI.

CONCLUSIONSThe results of this study suggest that homozygosity for the BRCA2 T(-1144) allele is associated with a longer DFI in Chinese women with breast cancer. Further functional studies are warranted to clarify this relationship.
