Objective To study the early clinical outcome of patients undergone minimally invasive direct coronary bypass(MIDCAB) surgery,and the mid-term patency of left internal mammary artery(LIMA)-left anterior descending(LAD) anastomosis.Methods From Jannuary 2007 to May 2014,47 cases underwent MIDCAB surgery in our department,with 35 males and 12 females,aged 48-76 years,with the average of (62.9 ± 8.1) years old.Types of LAD lesions were as followed:1 case was ostial total obstruction,28 severe stenosis at proximal segment,10 long and severe stenosis,3 calcified lesion with severe stenosis,5 myocardial bridge.All patients had symptomatic angina,typical myocardial ischemia could be detected by electrocardiogram for all patients with myocardial bridge.Comorbidities included:hypertension 38 cases,27 diabetes mellitus,3 COPD and 3 chronic kidney disease.Results All surgery went well without transfer to mid-sternotomy.LIMA harvest time was 38-53 minutes,mean LIMA flow rate was(22 ± 6) ml/min after anastomosis.Surgery duration was 117-143 minutes,blood loss was less than 100 ml for each operation.No blood transfusion was required.Tracheal intubation time was 4-16 hours,ICU stay time was 22-45 hours,hospital stay time was 6-10 days.There was no peri-operative death,either no myocardial infarction or cerebral vessel accident.During follow-up,all LIMA-LAD appeared to be patent by coronary CT angiography.Conclusion High patency rate of LIMA-LAD anastomosis could also be obtained during MIDCAB surgery.It was reserved as a safe and effective surgery for well-selected patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the disinfectant and antibiotic resistance genotypes in 60 strains of Escherichia coli isolated from urine.METHODS Sixty strains of E.coli isolated from inpatients′ urine were collected from Jan 2006 to Oct 2008.Antibiotic susceptibility tests for fifteen antibiotics were performed by Kirby-Bauer method.And three kinds of disinfectant and antibiotic resistance genes(qacE△1,tehA,merA)were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and DNA sequencing.RESULTS More than 70.0% of the sixty strains of E.coli were susceptible to imipenem,piperacillin/tazobactam,cefoxitin,amikacin and gentamicin,and less than 50.0% were susceptible to the other ten antibiotics.There were 42 strains with qacE△1 gene(70.0%),10 strains with merA gene(16.7%) and all strains with tehA gene.The sequence of the first strain was different from those reported in GenBank,so it was a new subtype.CONCLUSIONS There are 70% of E.coli strains isolated from urine samples with qacE△1 gene.And disinfectant resistance may be one of the main factors for hospital infection in the future.

Objective To investigate the nursing points of the mechanical ventilated patients after percutaneous endoscopic gatrostomy (PEG). Methods The nursing approaches of 28 mechanical ventilated patients after percutaneous endoscopic gatrostomy in our department was analyzed retrospectively. Results The nutritional status of the 28 patients was improved to different degree after enteral nutrition (EN) support by PEG. Thereby, the nutritional requirement of the mechanical ventilated patients was ensured effectively. Among these patients, 4 patients could take food by mouth after taking off ventilator and extubation and stoma tube was pulled out, 15 patients were discharged carrying with stoma tube and convalescent care was continued, 3 patients died of primary diseases. Conclusions The PEG is a simple,safe and cost-effective approach of nutritional support for EN of mechanical ventilated patients. The key point of insuring EN of severe patients is intensive nursing and to prevent and reduce the complication of PEG.

Objective To assess the antimicrobial actitivity of econazole nitrate in comparison with other six antibacterial drugs. Methods The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of econazole nitrate (Eco), neomycin (Neo), erythromycin (E), penicillin (P), cefotaxime sodium (Cef), ciprofloxacin (Cip) and amikacin (An) to 222 strains of Staphylococcus spp isolated from the lesions of patients with eczema and atopic dermatitis were determined by using the broth dilution method. Results MIC50 values of Eco were similar to Neo, Cip, An and Cef, and lower than those of P and E on methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA); significantly lower than those of the other six antibacterial drugs on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA); similar to An, Cip and P, and lower than those of Neo, Cef and E on methicillin-sensitive and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (MSCNS); and similar to An, Cip P or Neo, and lower than Cef and E on methicillin-resistant and coagulase negative Staphylococus (MRCNS). Based on the NCCLS standards, the resistance rates of Cip, P and E were very high to either Staphylococcus areus or coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CNS). The resistance rates of An and Cef of were lower to MSSA, but higher than 50% to MRSA. MIC90 value of Eco was similar to its MIC50, and lower than the MIC value reported in the literature. The MIC90 value of neomycin was muich higher than the MIC50 value of econazole. Conclusion Econazole nitrate has antibacterial activity to both Staphylococcus areus and CNS. MIC90 value of Eco is similar to its MIC50, and no resistance to Eco was found.

Objective To study the activation of Janus protein tyrosine kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) signaling pathway and its inhibitor-signal transducer and activator of transcription-1(SOCS-1) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Methods A total of 45 patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and 30 healthy controls were randomly selected. Western blot was performed to measure the expression of Stat1 protein and phospho-Stat1 protein (an activated form of Stat1 protein) in the monocytes after stimulation with recombinant high mobility group box1 (rHMGB1) at various time points. Expression of Stat1 protein in the skin or lesional skin was also detected. Phasic expressions of SOCS-1 mRNA in the monocytes after rHMGB1 stimulation were detected by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. SOCS-1 gene expression in the skin or lesional skin was also detected. Results The expression level of Stat1 proteins in the monocytes from patients with SLE was higher than that from healthy controls (t=9.16,P＜0.01) and positively correlated with SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) (r=0.59,P＜0.01). Expression of phospho-Stat1 in the monocytes from SLE patients was time-dependently upregulated after stimulation with rHMGB1 at various time points, while expression of SOCS-1 mRNA remained unchanged(all P＞0.05). Expressions of phospho-Stat1 protein and SOCS-1 mRNA in the monocytes from healthy controls were increased transiently after stimulation with rHMGB1(all P＜0.05). Both expressions of phospho-Stat1 protein and SOCS-1 gene in the lesional skin from patients with SLE were upregulated compared with those in normal skin from healthy controls (all P＜0.01). Conclusion There are hyperactivation of JAK-STAT1 signaling pathway and negative feedback down-regulation of SOCS-1 in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. HMGB-1 may be partly involved in the pathogenesis of SLE by the abnormal mediating function of JAK-STAT1 signal transduction pathway.

Objective To explore the influence of low-selenium diet on expression of selenium-binding protein 1 (SBP1) and selenoprotein P (Sel P) in liver,kidney and brain tissues.Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups according to body weight:control group,low-selenium treatment for 4-,12-and 24-week groups,10 mice in each group,half male and half female.The control group was fed with normal diet (selenium content was 0.300 mg/kg),distilled water,and sacrificed at the 12th week; low-selenium treatment groups were fed with low-selenium diet(selenium content was 0.015 mg/kg),then sacrificed at the 4th,12th and 24th weeks,respectively.Expressions of SBP1 and Sel P in mouse liver,kidney and brain tissues were determined by Western blotting.Results Expressions of SBP1 and Sel P in low-selenium feed mouse liver tissue at the 4th,12th and 24th weeks were,respectively,as follows 0.11 ± 0.01,0.36 ± 0.01,0.59 ± 0.02 and 0.41 ± 0.01,0.39 ± 0.02,0.25 ± 0.02;in kidney,respectively,as follows 0.60 ± 0.03,0.20 ± 0.02,0.03 ± 0.01 and 0.88 ± 0.01,0.73 ± 0.03,0.85 ± 0.02; in brain,respectively,as follows 0.54 ± 0.03,0.11 ± 0.01,0.01 ± 0.01 and 0.50 ± 0.02,0.49 ± 0.03,0.38 ± 0.02.Expression of Sel P in low-selenium feed mouse liver,kidney and brain tissues was significantly decreased as compared to that of control group(1.00 ± 0.00,1.00 ± 0.00,all P ＜ 0.05),but SBP1 content was reduced at first and then rebounded in kidney,and was in decreasing trend in liver and brain tissues.Conclusion Low-selenium diet has a certain effect on expression of SBP1 and Sel P in mouse liver,kidney and brain tissues.

Objective To study the anatomy basis and biomechanical stability of euthyphoria reduction and percutaneous cannulated screw fixation for sacroiliac dislocation,and to evaluate the primary clinical efficacy of this method.Methods The distances from the anterior branches of the nerve roots at L4,and L5 and obturator nerve on the superior border of sacral ala to the sacroiliac joint were measured on 12 adult cadavers (24 sides) fixed and preserved by formalin.Models of sacroiliac dislocation were made on six pelvic specimens of fresh cadavers.A comparison of stability was made on the six models between the fixation studied here and the traditional fixations by posterior percutaneous sacroiliac screws and by anterior sacroiliac joint plates.At the same time,17 patients with type C Tile fracture were treated with our method.The clinical efficacy was analyzed for the 17 patients.Results The distances from the anterior branches of the nerve roots at L4,and L5 and obturator nerve on the superior border of sacral ala to the sacroiliac joint were 20.24?1.20mm,23.80?1.43mm,and 16.26?2.07 mm respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in stability between our method and the traditional fixation by posterior percutaneous sacroiliac screws,though ours seemed better.Follow-ups for the 17 cases averaged 2.2 years,re- vealing fine functional recovery in all according to Matta scoring.Conclusions Euthyphoria reduction and per- cutaneous cannulated screw fixation can lead to sufficient biomechanical stability for the sacroiliac joint and effec- tively avoid nervous injuries.In addition,our method is simple and clinically effective,It is recommendable for small and middle-sized hospitals.
