OBJECTIVE To investigate the value of screening hospital urinary tract infection with UF-100 automated urine analyzer. METHODS It was to count the bacteria and white blood cells in 422 urine specimens with UF-100 as well as to culture the specimens quantitatively.Then the sensitivity and specificity of UF-100 counts and the correspondence of the two methods were evaluated with Yerushalmy mode. RESULTS Compared with the culture results,UF-100 showed a sensitivity of 81.5%,specificity of 63.9%,positive predictive value of 29.1%,negative predictive value of 95.0%,false positive rate of 30.5%,false negative rate of 2.8% and an accuracy of 67.2%. CONCLUSIONS The UF-100 is excellent in analyzing urine specimens,and its bacteria counts can be a valuable indicator in screening hospital urinary tract infection.

Objective To compare the effects of propofol versus midazolam on serum hydrocortisone in the aged traumatic brain injury. Methods 64 patients (aged 65-72 years) with traumatic brain injury during mechanical ventilation were divided into propofol group (n=32) and midazolam group(n=32).The hemodynamics data,intracranial pressure(ICP) and the calculated cerebral perfusion pressure(CPP) were recorded.The serum hydrocortisone of patients was detectedby enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at 24 h,72 h and 4 weeks in intensive care unit(ICU). Results There was no differences in partial pressure of carbon dioxide,heart rate,meanartery pressure,pulse biood oxygen saturation (SpO2 ),armpit temperature,endexpiratory gas(PEr CO2),intraeranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral pertusion pressure (CPP) between the two groups (P>0.05).The serum hydrocortisone in propofol group at 24 h and 72 h [(269.7±43.2) nmol/L and (235.0±67.0) nmol/L] were lower than in midazolam group [(278.0±75.5) nmol/L and (243.2±42.4) nmol/L] (t=5.312 and 5.919,both P=0.000).The serum hydrocortisone in propofol and midazolam group at 4 weeks were (209.1±73.9) nmol/L and (210.8±66.6) nmol/L,respectively,no significant difference was found(t=0.075,P =0.938). Conclusions There is a significant difference in the effects of propofol and midazolam on the early level of hydrocortisone in the aged patients with traumatic brain injury.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the significance of CK19 mRNA monitoring in peripheral blood of breast cancer patients.MethodsPeripheral blood samples were collected from 137 breast cancer patients preoperatively,one day post-operation,7 days,1,3,6,12,18,and 24 months after operation.RTPCR was used to detect CK19 mRNA expression.The relationships were analyzed between CK19 mRNA expression and treatment result, between CK19 mRNA expression and clinicopathological parameters.ResultsThere was no significant difference between the level of CK19 mRNA as tested preoperatively,and 1,7 days postoperatively(P > 0.05 ).From one month and thereafter,CK 19 mRNA decreased significantly when compared with that immediate perioperatives ( P < 0.05 ). Postoperative peripheral CK19 mRNA expression increased in those found with recurrent or metastasized tumors ( P < 0.01 ). CK19 mRNA expression does not correlate with patient's menstrual status,estrogen receptor expression,progesterone receptor expression,HER-2 expression and Ki67 proliferation expression (P > 0.05 ). But there was statistically significant correlation between CK19 mRNA expression and tumour size,histology grading,pathological type,lymph node metastasis ( P < 0.01 ).ConclusionsIn breast cancer patients peripheral blood CK19 mRNA expression is correlated with risk clinicopathological parameters, and increases in patients with postoperative recurrence and tumor metastasis.

Objective To compare the effects of dezocine and fentanyl on analgesia and cognitive state for elderly patients after neurosurgery.Methods A total of 42 elderly patients with brain tumors and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Ⅱ-Ⅲ were randomly divided into two groups:Dezocine group and fentanyl group (n=21,each).The time of recovery and extubation,pain intensity descriptive scale (PIDS),Ramsay score and mini-mental state examination (MMSE) before operation,and 1 h,2 h and 3 h after extubation were recorded.Results The time of recovery [(15.9±2.8) min vs.(16.2 ± 4.3)] min and extubation [(22.4 ± 5.1) min vs.(23.8 3.7) min] between the two groups had no differences (both P>0.05).And there were no statistical differences between the two groups in Ramsay and MMSE score at 1 h,2 h,3 h after extubation and on PIDS at 1 h after extubation (all P> 0.05).The PIDS were lower in Dezocine group than in fentanyl group at 2 h[(2.01±0.79)scores vs.(2.55±0.51)scores,(t =-2.24,P=0.04))] and 3 h after extubation [(2.30±0.66)scores vs.(2.75±0.64)scores,(t =-2.44,P=0.03)].Conclusions The using of dezocine and fentanyl before the end of operation could have a good sedative and analgesia effect on neurosurgery without influence on the duration of recovery and extubation,and dezocine may maintain a longer time of analgesia than fentanyl in elderly patients.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of vitamin K 2 on sevoflurane-induced cognitive decline in aged mice. Methods:A total of 72 SPF healthy female C57BL/6J mice, aged 12 months, weighing 20-25 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=18 each) using a random number table method: control+ corn oil group (group Con+ Oil), sevoflurane+ corn oil group (group Sevo+ Oil), control+ vitamin K 2 group (group Con+ K 2) and sevoflurane+ vitamin K 2 group (group Sevo+ K 2). The mice in Sevo+ Oil and Sevo+ K 2 groups were anesthetized with 2.5% sevoflurane+ 33% oxygen for 2 h. The mice in Con+ Oil and Con+ K 2 groups were treated with 33% oxygen only.The animals in Con+ Oil and Sevo+ Oil groups were intraperitoneally injected with corn oil 100 μl at 30 min before oxygen or sevoflurane inhalation.Vitamin K 2 (dissolved in corn oil, concentration 1 mg/ml) 100 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally in Con+ K 2 and Sevo+ K 2 groups.At 24 h after sevoflurane inhalation, 8 mice from each group were randomly selected and sacrificed, and the hippocampal tissues were removed for determination of activity of ATPase, contents of interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and the expression of AT8 and PHF1 (by Western blot). The remaining 10 mice in each group received standardized feeding, and the cognitive function was assessed using Y-maze at 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days after sevoflurane inhalation. Results:Compared with group Con+ Oil, the contents of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly increased, expression of AT8 and PHF1 were up-regulated, activity of ATPase was decreased, and spontaneous alternation percentage was decreased at 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days after sevoflurane inhalation in group Sevo+ Oil ( P<0.05). Compared with group Sevo+ Oil, the contents of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly decreased, expression of AT8 and PHF1 were down-regulated, activity of ATPase was increased, and spontaneous alternation percentage was increased at 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days in group Sevo+ K 2 ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the above indicators between group Con+ K 2 and group Sevo+ K 2 ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Vitamin K 2 can improve sevoflurane-induced cognitive decline in aged mice, the mechanism is related to increasing activity of ATPase and inhibiting the up-regulation of AT8 and PHF1 expression in hippocampus.
