Hospital acquired infection (HAI) is one of the common complications of hospitalized patients and poses a serious threat to public health worldwide, which causes an exacerbation, prolonged hospitalization and increased medical costs. Because of higher illness severity and more invasive operations, patients in neurosurgical intensive critical unit (NICU) are more susceptible to HAI such as hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) and surgical site infection (SSI), leading to theincrease of mortality. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of HAI is an important challenge during the treatment of diseases in NICU. In this paper, we summarized the common types, pathogenic characteristics, prevention measures and antimicrobial treatment of HAI in NICU, aiming to provide ideas and reference on HAI treatment for medical personnel in NICU.

AimTo compare the protective immunity against challenge infection in mice immunized by crude antigen preparations derived from adult worms, newborn larvae and musele larvae of T richinella spiralis. MethodIntestinal adult worms, muscle larvae and blood absolute eosinophil level were counted; the level of serum IgG to antigens of T. spiralis muscle larvae was detected by ELISA. ResultsAdults reduimg rate was 82.19 %, 72.31% and 42.88 % in the adult, newborn larvae and muscle larvae antigen groups respectively. Muscle larvae were reduced 68.83%. 78.19% and 51.96% respectively. The serum IgG titer in all immunized groups increased significantly, the GMRT values of adult, newborn larvae and mudscle larval antigen groups were 7.46, 5.28and 4.92times higher than that in control group respectively. Periphery blood absolute eosinophil level enhanced significantly. ConclusionThe data demonstrate that all of the adult, newborn larvae and muscle larvae antigens of T. spiralis can activate specific humoral and cellular immunity which induce protection to challenge infection in mice. Among these antigens, adult and newborn larvae antigens show better immunogenicity and it may be possible that adult antigen will provide a potential vaccine for trichinosis.

BACKGROUND: Benzo[a] pyrene(BaP) is kind of polyaromatic hydrocarbon which is a chemical pollutant extensively existing in living and productive environments. It is found overseas that it has neurotoxic effects under certain conditions.OBJECTIVE: To study the neurotoxicity of BaP and its effects on expression of two heat stress proteins(HSPs) HSP70 and HSP90β in brain tissue of mice.DESIGN: Randomized case control study of experimental animals.SETTING: Laboratory of thermobiology and molecular toxicology of a unversity, department of preventive medicine of a university.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted in the Thermobiology and Molecular Toxicity Laboratory, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong Science and Technology University. Fifty male Kunming mice were randomly divided into 5 groups with each of 10 mice including 3 administrated groups, 1 vehicle group and 1 control group. All mice in 3 exposed groups were intraperitoneally administrated BaP dissolved in corn oil at dose levels of 7.8mg/kg, 3.2 mg/kg and 1.3 mg/kg respectively for four times per week. The mice in vehicle group received an equal volume of com oil and the mice in control group received no additional treatment.METHODS: The signs of neurotoxicity in each group were examined and recorded during the administration. At the end of 8-week administration, the brains were excised to calculate brain tissue organ coefficient. Western blot method was used to assay the HSP70 and HSP90β.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Effects of BaP on HSP70 and HSP90βin brain tissue of mice.Bap exposure groups was much lower than that of control group( P ＜ 0. 01,P ＜ 0. 001 ) while the organ coefficient of high dose group was much of HSP70 was characterized by greatly increased expression in low dose group while the relative expression of HSP90β was increased in middle and high dose groups.CONCLUSION: BaP has certain neurotoxic effects. With the increase of toxic dose, the expression of HSP90β increases which can be used as signal of toxic damage under certain conditions.

Objective To observe the clinical effects of the children with svstemic inflammatorv re- active syndrome(SIRS)receiving micro-dose heparin at early stage of the diseases.Methods The 53 cas- es diagnosed as SIRS were included in the randomized control trial.They were divided into two groups,26 cases in control group and 27 cases in therapeutic group.The children in control group received therapy for their primary diseases and other routine managements for SIRS.The children in therapeutic group received both above therapy and micro-dose heparin(5-10 U/kg,1 fime/6hours)via subcutaneous injection at earlv stages of diseases for 3 days.Results There were improvements in both control and therapeutic group, platelets count increased,C-reactive protein decreased (P＜0.01),there were significant diffemnce in platelets and C-reactive protein between two groups,the time of platelets recovery in therapeutic group [(28±9)h]Was less than that in control group[(55±14)h](P＜0.01).In therapeutic group,the dumtion of SIRS was shortened (P＜0.05),mortality and the incidence of multiple organ dysfunction svndrome (MODS)and disseminated intravascular eoagultion(DIC)were decreased significantly(P＜0.05).Con- clusion Early micro-dose heparin in SIRS can shorten its duration and decrease the mortality and the inci- dence of MODS in the children with SIRS.

Objective To investigate the value of therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in the patients with pancreaticobiliary diseases and the methods to manage complications. Methods 100 cases treated with ERCP were analyzed retrospectively. Compared with hepatobiliary diseases were examined with ERCP,abdominal B-ultrasound and CT simultaneously. Results 100 cases underwent ERCP,the success and failure were 95 cases and 5 cases respectively;64 cases with simple diagnostic in ERCP,36 cases in EST;EST was performed on 36 patients with hepatobiliary stones. Stones were removed from 14 patients with single common bile duct stones and 19 patients with multiple duct stones;The diagnostic rate of ERCP、abdominal B ultrasound、CT were 96.0%、39. 0% and 64.0% respectively. The rate of diagnosis in ERCP were higher than the B ultrasound and CT(x2 =7. 05 ,P ＜ 0. 01 ,x2 = 3.83, P ＜ 0. 05); The complication of gastro-intestinal tract bleeds in 2 cases (2.0%)、 acute cholangitis in 1 case (1.0%) 、acute pancreatitis in 2 cases(2.0)%, pass through the internal medicine to treat conservatively completely recovers from an illness after treatment. Conclusion Therapeutic ERCP was effective and minimally invasive treatment for pancreaticobiliary diseases.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common subtype of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and its pathogenesis remains unclear. Recent studies have uncovered high-frequency chromosomal copy number variations in MF, such as gain of chromosomes7q,1q,17q and loss of 9p21,10q,17p, which lead to the gain of proto-oncogenes and loss of tumor suppressor genes, and finally result in tumor development and progression. Moreover, low-frequency single-nucleotide variants have been found in MF, and these mutated genes are mostly enriched in the pathways associated with cell cycle regulation, cell apoptosis, chromatin remodeling as well as T cell activation. Gene-fusion variation is rarely reported in MF. In addition, large cell transformation may occur in some MF cases, and often indicates poor prognoses such as disease progression and drug resistance. In conclusion, MF is a complex disease with highly molecular genetic heterogeneity, and more extensive and intensive researches on its pathogenesis are needed in the future.

G protein-coupled receptor 30(GPR30) was a novel estrogen receptor identified as membrane associated receptor in the late 1990s.This new member of estrogen receptors was independent of the classic nuclear estrogen receptor ? and ? due to the low homology and signifi cant difference between them.It was reported that GPR30 localized endoplasmic reticulum predominantly,which was expressed in diverse cancer cells and a wide range of systems throughout the body.The rapid non-genetic response,partially at least,transcription regulation of estrogenic effects were mediated by the novel receptor via transactivation of epidermal growth factor receptor and modulation of second messengers such as cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP) and Ca2+.These pathways,possibly coordinate with ER?,were involved in various physiological,physiopathological and carcinogenesis process.Theoretically,GPR30 would be a novel therapeutic target in estrogen-related diseases such as breast carcinoma.
