Objective Exploration of best effect on washing medical instrument between automatic cleaning sterilizer and ultrasonic cleaners.Methods Suppose washing method A and method B.A:directly put medical instrument into automatic cleaning sterilizer,wash,sterilize and dry it step by step.B:place medical instrument into ultrasonic cleaners,wash with ultra sonic,shower with cool water,sterilize and dry with hot water.Results By comparison,after washing method A,there remains 0.33‰ residue on the medical instrument while after B there are 0.03‰ remains.It has an evident difference between result of the two methods(?~2=46.546,P=0.000).Especially on the cleaning result of saw-shaped medical instrument:A method has 0.52‰ residue while method B is 0.04‰,which is of great significance.But there exists no significant difference of washing result on non saw-shaped instrument(?~2=2.667,P=0.102).Conclusion Ultrasonic cleaners can reach the optimum washing effect on saw-shaped medical instrument,with a great decline on residue after cleaning.And automatic cleaning sterilizer can wash large quantity of non saw-shaped,saving labor and enhancing efficiency by automation cleaning process.Therefore,adpoting different equipment to wash different instrument can efficiently improve cleaning effect and ensure safe and qualified stelization.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and the drug resistance changes of the pathogenic bacteria isolated from the blood culture specimens collected during the period of 2006-2008.METHODS Blood culture of patients in our hospital was performed by BacT/Alert 240 and the isolated bacteria were identified by API and Microscan and tested for drug resistance against antimicrobial agent by K-B method.A retrospective analysis was made to the blood culture results during the period of 2006-2008 with WHONET 5.4 software.RESULTS Gram-negative rods were the predominant bacteria which caused sepsicemia.The isolated rates of Escherichia coli took the first place during the period of 2006-2008.Klebsiella pneumoniae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus(SAU) were also the most important pathogens which caused blood infection.The infection rate of coagulase negative staphylococcus(CNS) and P.aeruginosa had increasing tendency.Imipenem and meropenem were the most effective antibiotics(100%) to E.coli and K.pneumoniae.Then amikacin and cefoxitin also had high susceptibility to E.coli and K.pneumoniae.Furthermore,drug susceptibility in 2008 was higher than that of two years before.All antibacterials had low drug susceptibility to P.aeruginosa,and its drug resistance rate rised obviously.The drug resistance situation of Acinetobacter baumannii was serious.Except imipenem and meropenem had relatively higher susceptibility(20-69.2%),the susceptibility to other antibacterials was lower than 41.7%.Vancomycin,teicoplanin and quinupristin/dalfopristin were the most effective antibiotics to(SAU).CONCLUSIONS The species and drug resistance of the bacteria isolated from blood specimens have changed.More attention should be paid to the detection and surveillance of bacterial resistance in blood culture to promote the rational use of antibiotics.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic value of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and Ki-67 in breast can-cer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and explore the association of chemotherapy regimens and cycles with the outcome of NAC. Methods:Clinical data of cancer patients receiving NAC were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were admit-ted in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from January 2015 to December 2015. All statistical analyses were per-formed using SPSS version 19.0. The relationship among the outcome of NAC, molecular subtype, expression levels of ER, PR, and Ki-67, and chemotherapy regimens and cycles was investigated. Results:Only five HER-2(+) patients accepted the addition of trastuzum-ab in treatment, and few cases were excluded from the statistical analysis based on the effect of chemotherapy regimens. The effec-tiveness of NAC was positively correlated with the expression of Ki-67 whereas negatively correlated with the expression levels of ER and PR (P<0.05). In patients receiving NAC, the patients with Luminal subtype had worse outcome than those with non-Luminal sub-type (P=0.033). The invalid efficacy of pathologic evaluations of Luminal and non-Luminal NAC were 10.1%and 1.3%, respectively. No significant difference was found in the outcome among patients receiving TE, TEC, or EC-T;however, patients who received more than four cycles of NAC had better outcome than others (P=0.016). The outcome was statistically significant when the cut-off value of Ki-67 was 25%. Conclusion:Ki-67 proliferative index could be used as a prognostic marker to NAC in breast cancer patients. The cut-off value of Ki-67 should be determined on the basis of the data of each cancer patient. The curative effect of NAC was poor, and Luminal pa-tients with chemotherapy were insensitive and could be considered for surgical treatment. Patients who received less than four cycles of NAC had worse outcome than others, and prompt NAC foot treatment could improve the efficiency.

Objective To investigate the effect of plasma fibrinogen (Fib) level on stroke recurrence within one year of first-ever ischemic stroke.Methods The patients with first-ever acute ischemic stroke were enrolled prospectively and were followed up for at least one year.They were divided into either a recurrent group or a non-recurrent group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors for stroke recurrence within one year of first-ever ischemic stroke.According to the plasma Fib levels of the early onset,the patients were divided into a high Fib group and a normal Fib group.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compare the recurrence between the two groups.Results A total of 121 patients with first-ever acute ischemic stroke were enrolled,111 completed one year follow up,and 30 of them (27.027％) had recurrent stroke.Multivariatelogistic regression analysis showed that the increased plasma Fib level (odds ratio [OR] 13.238,95％ confidence interval [CI] 1.152-152.077; P=0.038),older at the first onset (OR 1.321,95％ CI1.064-1.641;P=0.012),high body mass index(OR 1.351,95％ CI 1.001-1.823; P=0.049),and poor compliance of antiplatelet drugs (OR 36.819,95％ CI 1.890-717.143; P=0.017) and antihypertensive drugs (OR 50.765,95％ CI 3.198-805.878; P =0.005) were the dependent the risk factors for stroke recurrence within one year of first-ever ischemic stroke.Kaplan-Meier survival function curves showed that the recurrence rate of stroke in the high Fib group was significantly higher than that in the normalFib group (Log-rank test,P =0.000).Conclusions The increased high plasma Fib level,advanced age,obesity,as well as poor compliance of antiplatelet drugs and antihypertensive drugs were the independent risk factors for stroke recurrence within one year of first-ever ischemic stroke.

Objective To detect the mutations of GJB2 and GJB6 genes in the first Chinese case of keratitis, ichthyosis and deafness (KID) syndrome. Methods Genomic DNA was extracted from the patient with KID syndrome and his family members. All encoding exons and adjacent splice sites of the GJB2 and GJB6 genes were amplified by PCR. Mutation scanning was carried out by direct bidirectional DNA sequencing. Results No mutation was found in GJB6. A G148A mutation was found at exon2 of GJB2 in the patient, which caused a change from aspartic acid to asparagine at codon 50(D50N). Conclusion This case of KID syndrome may be caused by the mutation in GJB2.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects and safety of acitretin for severe inherited keratodermas in children and adolescents. Methods Acitretin was given to 23 children and adolescents with either lamellar ichthyosis, bulbous ichthyosiform erythroderma, pityriasis rubra pillars, progressive sym- metrical erythrokeratoderma, keratitis ichthyosis deafness syndrome, generalized porokeratosis, inflammatory liner verrucous epidermal nevus, ichthyosis hystrix and non-bullous ichthyosiform erythroderma. The thera- peutic dosage was 0.67-1.07 mg/(kg?d),and maintenance dosage 0.08-0.94 mg/(kg?d).The effects on the patients' growth and development of the drug were evaluated based on the changes of body weight and height in the children. The total follow-up period was 6-35 months in an interval of 1-3 months. Results The considerable overall improvement was achieved after 1-6 months' treatment, with an overall clinical cure rate of 82.6%. Only one case responded poorly to the therapy. The excellent responses were observed in patients with bulbous ichthyosiform erythroderma, lamellar ichthyosis, and pityriasis rubra pillars, etc, and the much poor responses in ichthyosis hystrix. The most frequent adverse reaction was mild to moderate dry lips (65.2%),the next were pruritus(39.1%),skin fragility(34.8%),and dry mouth(30.4%).The less frequent adverse reactions were alopecia(13%),anorexia(8.7%),headache (4.3%) and hypoacusis (4.3%).No effects on the growth and development were found in those children during the follow up period. Conclusions The considerable overall improvement is achieved with the acitretin therapy for children and adolescents with inherited keratodermas, with only mild to moderate adverse reactions and no effects on the growth and development in the children.

Vine tea has been used as an herbal tea by several ethnic minorities for hundreds of years in China.Flavonoids,a kind of indispensable component in a variety of nutraceutical,pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications,are identified to be the major metabolites and bioactive ingredients in vine tea.Interest-ingly,vine tea exhibits a wide range of significant bioactivities including anti-oxidant,anti-inflammatory,anti-tumor,antidiabetic,neuroprotective and other activities,but no toxicity.These bioactivities,to some extent,enrich the understanding about the role of vine tea in disease prevention and therapy.The health benefits of vine tea,particularly dihydromyricetin and myricetin,are widely investigated.However,there is currently no comprehensive review available on vine tea.Therefore,this report summarizes the most recent studies investigating bioactive constituents,pharmacological effects and possible mechanisms of vine tea,which will provide a better understanding about the health benefits and preclinical assessment of novel application of vine tea.

Objective To investigate the effects of different components of Coix Seed(Semen Coicis, Yiyiren)on certain genes of transporters and factors in jejuna basolateral membrane of rat with syndrome of spleendeficiency and wate rdampness.Methods Aftermodeling,theratswithsyndromeofspleen deficiency and water dampness were treated by different components extracted from Coix Seed.Then jejunum was tested by gene chip;functional-annotation-gene to basolateral plasma membrane was analyzed by Quick-GO,and the most representative gene was found out by principal component (PC )analysis.Results Therewere 20 differential genes in sevengroups.After dimension reduction by principal component analysis (PCA ),89.7% of variance could be explained when the number of principal component was three.By correlation analysis between loading and score in PC1 and PC2,the expression of genes on basolateral plasma membrane of PC1 was very close to those of PC2,showing the similar function of different components of Coix Seed on jejuna basolateral membrane.However,there was a different situation in PC2 and PC3.Normalization of the weight of PC1,PC2 and PC3 showed that the leading weight genes were Slc22a7,Car9,Agtr1b,S100g,Aqp9,Msn,Aqp3,Slc4a1,and Slc4a10.Conclusion Coix Seed can repair the injury of small intestine due to modeling stimulation, and upregulate SLC expression leading to regain the ability of raising white blood cell,materializing the TCM abstract term “invigorating spleen”.Coix Seed can downregulate AQP3 expression of the model, and reduce liquid absorption from intestinal lumen,materializing the term of“eliminating dampness”.

Objective To explore the effects of ApoC3 gene on the severity of hypertriglyceridemiainduced acute pancreatitis (AP).Methods ApoC3 transgenetic mice and C57BL/6J mice AP model was induced by cerulein intraperitoneal injection,and ApoC3 transgenetic mice and C57BL/6J mice injected by normal saline solution in equal volume served as control group.Serum triglyceride and cholesterol were detected,and the pathological changes of the pancreas were observed.RT PCR method was used to examine the changes of the inflammatory factor including IL-1β,IL-6,α-SMA and TNF-α mRNA levels,which reflected the severity of the inflammation.Results Serum triglyceride and cholesterol were higher in ApoC3 transgenetic mice than in C57BL/6J mice [(3.434 ± 0.931) mmol/L vs (0.766 ± 0.120) mmol/L,(2.553 ±0.178) mmol/L vs (1.996 ± 0.080) mmol/L],and the differences were statistically different (P ＜ 0.05).The pathological changes of the pancreas were more severe in ApoC3 transgenetic AP mice than in C57BL/6J AP mice,and the IL-1β,IL-6 and α-SMA mRNA levels in the pancreatic tissue were obviously higher in ApoC3 transgenetic AP mice than in C57BL/6J mice (1.72 ± 0.07vs 0.78 ± 0.09,1.58 ± 0.09vs 0.87 ±0.04,0.83 ± 0.05vs 0.44 ± 0.04),and the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05),while there was no statistical difference on TNF-αmRNA level (0.70 ± 0.09vs 0.65 ± 0.08,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions ApoC3 gene could aggravate the severity of the inflammation in hypertriglyceridemia-induced AP.

Objective: To analyze the possible responses of parents of young children to Child sexual assault (CSA) and the potential influencing factors, so as to provide evidence for prevention programs of CSA. Methods: Part of the data from "2016-2020 Child Injury Prevention Project" was used to analyze responses to CSA among parents of children younger than 3rd grade in primary school by chi square test and Logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 4 072 parents were included in the analysis. Among them, 86.8% of parents chose "to solve problems together", 51.0% of parents taking children to a "psychologist", 4.9% of parents "scolding children for being too careless", 2.9% of parents "letting child not disclose abuse" and 6.5% of parents chose "other" coping methods. Parents with foreign nationality [OR(95%CI)=2.58(1.25-5.15)] and lower education level (OR=0.26-0.64) tend to "blame" their children. Mothers [(OR(95%CI)=0.54(0.33-0.90)], higher parental education level (OR=0.27-0.72) were more reluctant to encourage their children to keep quiet. Mothers [OR(95%CI)=1.73(1.32-2.27)], older children (OR=1.33-1.78) and parents with higher education level (OR=1.65-2.99) tend to "accompany". Parents aged 30 or more, and from high school/technical school/technical secondary school tend to take their children to see a "psychologist" [OR(95%CI)=1.39(1.14-1.71), 1.79(1.26-2.53)]. Conclusion Parents universally pay attention to the physical and mental health of children after CSA, but some parents still take negative coping methods, e.g. "blame" and "not disclose". Parenting educational level, duration of parent-child communication and age of children are primary factors associated with parental responses to child sexual assault. This study suggests that prevention secondary injury following child sexual assault should be farther strengthened, while fully considering the characteristics of the educated objects.
