Objective To study the expression of phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3-K) and its relationship with lung cell apoptosis in rats with acute lung injury induced by oleic acid. Methods 60 healthy male SD rats were divided into 5 groups randomly, with 12 rats for each group. 0.25ml/kg oleic was injected into the tail vein in 4 oleic groups in which the rats were respectively sacrificed after 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h and 24h by exsanguination. In the control group 0.25ml/kg of saline was injected intravenously and sacrificed 2h later. Arterial blood gas, left lung wet/dry ratio, lung index, protein content of BALF, and pulmonary permeability index (PPI) were determined. Fas-L expression of lung tissue was determined by immunohistochemical method and protein expression of PI3-K was determined by Western blot and immunohistochemical method. Results PaO_2 was lowered, and left lung wet/dry ratio, lung index, and protein content of BALF and PPI were increased obviously after oleic acid injection. Fas-L and PI3-K in bronchus epithelial cells, alveolar epithelial cells, pulmonary vessel endothelial cells and macrophage cells were highly expressed in the lung of ALI rats, and peak value of PI3-K appeared earlier than Fas-L. Conclusion Fas-L related apoptosis of bronchial epithelial cells, alveolar epithelial cells, pulmonary vessel endothelial cells and macrophage cells participated in the pathogenesis of earlier period of ALI through PI3-K transduction pathway.

Objective The effects of dexamethasone on cell signal transaction system ERK and PI3-K were studied in acute lung injury (ALI) rat in order to provide a theoretical basis for clinical treatment. Methods 36 healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, 12 rats for each group: injured group, dexamethasone treated group and control group. 0.25ml/kg oleic acid was injected via caudal venous into each animal in the former two groups to form ALI models. Then, for dexamethasone treated group, each animal received 1.0mg/kg of dexamethasone 15 min after oleic acid injection; the same amount of saline was given to the animals in injured group, and the animals in control group were injected the same amount of saline at the last two times. All animals were killed by common carotid artery bleeding 2 hours after the last injection. The indexes of PaO2, wet/dry weight of left lung, pulmonary permeability and lung pathology were investigated. The expression of PI3-K, ERK and P-ERK were determined by Western blot and immunohistochemical method. Results PaO2 declined in the animals of injured group, while left lung wet/dry ratio and pulmonary permeability increased obviously, and pulmonary edema and transparent film were observed in injured lung pathology. Compared to injured group, those indexes were improved in dexamethasone treated group. PI3-K, ERK and P-ERK were highly expressed in bronchus epithelial cells, alveolar epithelial cells, pulmonary vessel endothelial cells and macrophage cells of the animals in injured group, the expression of PI3-K, ERK and P-ERK were reduced in dexamethasone group, but the expression in the both groups were still higher than that in control group. Conclusions The higher expression of PI3-K and ERK were involved in the regulation of earlier period of ALI, and dexamethasone may improve ALI by repressing the high expression of PI3-K and ERK.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the change in drug resistance of Staphylococcus aureus (SAU) in the PLA general hospital from January 2008 to December 2012, and to provide solid evidence to support the rational use of antibiotics for clinical applications.
METHODSThe SAU strains isolated from clinical samples in the hospital were collected and subjected to the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test. The results were assessed based on the 2002 American National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) guidelines.
RESULTSSAU strains were mainly isolated from sputum, urine, blood and wound excreta and distributed in penology, neurology wards, orthopedics and surgery ICU wards. Except for glycopeptide drugs, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) had a higher drug resistance rate than those of the other drugs and had significantly more resistance than methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) (P < 0.05). In the dynamic observation of drug resistance, we discovered a gradual increase in drug resistance to fourteen test drugs during the last five years.
CONCLUSIONDrug resistance rate of SAU stayed at a higher level over the last five years; moreover, the detection ratio of MRSA keeps rising year by year. It is crucial for physicians to use antibiotics rationally and monitor the change in drug resistance in a dynamic way.

Objective:To observe the changes of visual evoked potential(VEP)in diabetic rats and the influence of nerve growth factor(NGF)and aminoguanidine(AG)on VEP.Methods:Diabetes was induced in adult male Wistar rats with streptozotocin(STZ).Rats were divided into normal control group(CON),diabetes model group(DM).NGF-treated group(D +N)and AG-treated group(D+A).VEP was measured during the 3~(rd)month,6~(th)month,9~(th)month,and 12~(th)month.Results: Compared with the CON group,all rest groups had longer latencies and lower amplitudes(P

A 64-year old man was admitted on July 2011 with masses both in liver and right kidney.After PET-CT and blood test examination,dual primary advanced cancers were speculated to be co-existed in this patient,which having poor prognosis.By evaluation with comprehensive geriatric assessment,the patient also had hypertension,diabetes and atherosclerosis,liver and renal insufficiency.After multidisciplinary consultation and detailed discussion with the patient,the decision of no surgery and just keep the follow-up was made.The patient has been followed up for 18 months and the functional evaluation is the same as before.It is very important to evaluate the risk/benefit equation and improve the standard of care,and make the decision as patient centered rather than disease-centered in the elderly patients.
