Doing a good job of guarding against medical risks can effectively improve medical safety and reduce waste of medical resources. In recent years, marked results have been attained in the US in studies on the use of FMEA, a prospective quality analysis tool, to minimize medical risks. Similar studies, though not many, have been made in some other countries, such as Italy and Australia. No reports, however, have been published at home on studies in this field. The paper gives an account of the use and theoretical studies of FMEA in medical risk management in the US, illustrates cases wherein it was used to lower risks in prescribing drugs to patients and ensure the safe use of hospital software and hardware, and puts forward issues that shouldn't be ignored in using FMEA so as to arouse the attention of domestic hospital management departments.

Objective:To screen out the potential key genes of endotoxin tolerance (ET), and to provide theoretical and experimental evidence for treatment and prognosis of sepsis.Methods:①Experiment 1 (gene chip and bioinformatics analysis): ET related data set GSE47783 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). The data set was obtained from lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated mouse macrophages to establish sepsis model (LPS group) and ET model (ET group). IDEP 0.92 software was used to screen differential expressed gene (DEG) between the two groups, analyze gene ontology (GO), and locate the main functions and signaling pathways of differential genes. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of DEG was constructed by the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes Database (STRING) to screen core genes hepatitis A virus cell membrane protein receptor 2 (HAVCR2) for following up validation study. ②Experiment 2 (reproduction of mouse macrophage RAW264.7 model): RAW264.7 cells were cultured in vitro, the ET model (ET group, cells were cultured with 10 μg/L LPS for 24 hours and then with 100 μg/L LPS for 4 hours) and sepsis model (LPS group, cells were cultured with 100 μg/L LPS for 4 hours) were reproduced by LPS stimulation. Phosphate buffer saline (PBS) group was given equal volume of solvent PBS for 4 hours. The mRNA and protein expressions of HAVCR2 were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting. ③Experiment 3 (RAW264.7 cells transfected with HAVCR2 lentiviral vector): to further clarify whether HAVCR2 was involved in the formation of ET, after knockdown of HAVCR2 in RAW264.7 cells by lentiviral short hairpin RNA (shRNA) technology, the ET model (HAVCR2 --ET group) was constructed again, and the control group (ET group) without knockdown of HAVCR2 was set up. RT-qPCR method was used to detect the mRNA expressions of macrophage polarization key proteins [arginase 1 (ARG1), CD206, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2)] in cells. Results:①Experiment 1: a total of 1 013 DEG were identified, compared with LPS group, 521 genes were up-regulated and 492 genes were down-regulated in ET group. The function of these DEG was to increase biosynthesis and reduce inflammatory reaction. Signal pathways were mainly enriched in Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STAT) , NOD like receptor, Toll-like receptor (TLR), TNF, hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1). The first up-regulated HAVCR2 in the ET group was selected as the target of the study. ②Experiment 2: the results of in vitro experiment showed that the mRNA expression of HAVCR2 after high-dose LPS stimulation was down-regulated as compared with PBS group, and the mRNA expression of HAVCR2 in ET group was significantly higher than that in LPS group (2 -ΔΔCT: 1.10±0.10 vs. 0.60±0.10, P < 0.05). The results of Western blotting were consistent with RT-qPCR results. ③Experiment 3: the mRNA expressions of ARG1 and CD206 in HAVCR2 --ET group were significantly lower than those in ET group [ARG1 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCT): 0.50±0.10 vs. 1.00±0.10, CD206 (2 -ΔΔCT): 0.73±0.10 vs. 1.00±0.10], and the mRNA expressions of TNF-α and IL-1β were significantly higher than those in ET group [TNF-α mRNA (2 -ΔΔCT): 2.20±0.10 vs. 1.00±0.10, IL-1β mRNA (2 -ΔΔCT): 9.00±0.10 vs. 1.00±0.10), with significant differences (all P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the expression of NOS2 mRNA between the two groups. Conclusion:HAVCR2 is involved in the regulation of inflammatory factors downstream of sepsis and the formation of ET, which is expected to become a new therapeutic target of sepsis.

Glioma is the most common form of brain cancer. Despite recent advances in the treatment of solid tumors, there are few effective treatments for malignant gliomas due to its infiltrative nature. It has important significance to improve the treatment of glioma through in-depth understanding the intracerebral metabolic characteristics and pharmacokinetics of chemotherapeutics. Brain microdialysis (B-MD), an effective method to monitor central nervous system anticancer drug disposition, conditions of drugs through the blood-brain barrier, basic pathophysiologic metabolism, bioactive compounds and the changes of neurotransmitter in brain, provides the unique opportunity to allow the simultaneous determination of unbound concentrations of drugs in several tissues, and directly measure gliomas biochemistry continuously. B-MD has been able to monitor the change of brain drugs, metabolites and neurotransmitters, dynamic analysis of the drug concentration and pharmacological effect after administration, pharmacodynamic interaction between drugs, receptor mechanism of drug transport, as well as feedback information of internal environment. B-MD is expected to provide reference for clinical individual chemotherapy of glioma, but also provide powerful tools for the evaluation of new anticancer drugs in vivo. In this review, a comprehensive overview of B-MD for studies on glioma is elucidated with special emphasis on its application to neurochemistry and pharmacokinetic studies.

A novel biosensor for aflatoxin B1 detecting has been reported. The biosensor electrode for AFB1 detecting was assembled by immobilized aflatoxin-oxidoreductase using open-ended multi-walled carbon nanotubes as matrix. Its linear range was between 0.16μM and 3.2μM. And if the specific anti-aflatoxin B1 antibody and aflatoxin oxidoreductase were both immobilized on the electrode with Multi-Walled carbon nanotubes, the detection limit of the modified electrode could be 16 nM with a 10 times improved sensitivity. The aflatoxin enzyme biosensor assembled this way strode one step forward its practical application.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the diagnostic value of micro-movement sensitive mattress sleep monitoring system (MSMSMS) in children with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome.
METHODSSixty-five children with the complaint of sleep disorder were collected and detected by polysomnography and micro-sensitive mattress sleep monitoring system overnight at least seven hours. The date from two instruments were analyzed by computer automatically and then modified by two professional staff double-blind separately. The data about the diagnosis of sleep breath disorder and other sleep physiology information were compared between the two groups.
RESULTSSixty-one cases finished the study finally. The mean age of these children was (7.0 ± 2.7) and the youngest was 3 years old, maximum was 13 years old, male children 46 cases, female patients 15 cases, body mass index (BMI) median [25 quantile; 75 quantile] 16.00 [14.80;17.5]kg/m2. Mean PSG measured apnea hypopnea index (AHI) was 4.50 [2.30;10.15] times/h, and mean MSMSMS AHI was 3.63 [2.56; 6.43] times/h. There was a significant correlation between PSG AHI and AHI by MSMSMS (r = 0.935, P < 0.01). A Bland-Altamplot of PSG AHI and MSMSMS AHI was also used to assess the accuracy of MSMSMS. 95. 1% of the data was fallen in the 95% consistency areas. For AHI--5 times/h and nighttime minimum oxygen < 91% or obstructive apnea index( OAT) > 1 time/h and nighttime minimum oxygen saturation < 91 % as threshold value, the MSMSMS diagnosing sensitivity and specificity were 82.9% and 92.3%. The misdiagnosis rate and missed diagnosis rate were 7.7% and 17.1%.
CONCLUSIONSThe MSMSMS offer a simple and comfortable method to monitor children's sleep. It improves the compliance in the process of sleep monitoring. Besides, as a diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of OSAHS on children has a high credibility in AHI.

Background Long-term administration of glucocorticoid drugs induces ocular hypertension in susceptible individuals probably.It has been verified that 1 1β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1),glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) can affect the generating of aqueous humor,but how they play the role in glucocorticoid-induced ocular hypertension is unclear.Objective This study was to investigate the relationship of expressions of 11β-HSD1 and steroids receptors in ciliary body and steroid-induced ocular hypertension.Methods Thirteen 12-16 week-old New Zealand albino rabbits were randomized to control group (5 rabbits) and experimental group (8 rabbits).Steroid-induced glaucoma models were induced by administration of subconjunctival injection of 5 mg dexamethasone solution(1 ml) and 0.5% dexamethasone eye drops on alternate days in the left eyes for consecutive two months in the experimental group,and the equal volume of sterile normal saline solution was used in the same way in the control group.The successful criteria of model eyes was defined as rising of intraocular pressure (IOP) to ≥ 18 mmHg for over one week.Then,the animals were sacrificed by excessive anesthesia and the ciliary tissues were isolated for the assay of expressions of 1 1β-HSD1 protein by immunochemistry,and the expressions of 11β-HSD1 mRNA,GR mRNA and MR mRNA in ciliary body were semi-quantitatively detected by reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR).The experimental results were compared between the two groups.Results The IOP was normal in the first two weeks after administration of drugs,and no significant difference was found in IOP between the first week and the second week in the experimental group (q =0.469,P >0.05).From 3 through 5 weeks after injection,the IOP was gradually elevated,with the highest value of (18.87±0.77) mmHg in the fifth week.Significant differences were seen between the two groups at mentioned-above time points (q =10.535,20.353,28.681,all at P < 0.01).11β-HSD1 protein was positively expressed in nonpigmented epithelial cells of ciliary tissue of rabbits in both groups,however,the expression intensity was weaker in the experimental group compared with the control group.The relative expressional values of MR mRNA,GR mRNA and 11β-HSD1 mRNA in the ciliary tissue were 2.22±0.78,0.64±0.11 and 0.47±0.16 in the experimental group,and those in the control group were 0.94±0.27,1.88±0.74 and 2.68±1.28,with significant differences between the two groups (t =6.070,P =0.004 ; t =5.170,P =0.007 ; t =5.540,P =0.005).Conclusions Corticosteroidinduced glaucoma probably is associated with the up-regulation of MR level and down-regulations of GR and 11β-HSD1 in ciliary body.
