OBJECTIVE To provide a practical action plan which can prevent and control the similar occurrence through studying the epidemiological characteristics of a norovirus-induced diarrhea outbreak in the wards of our hospital. METHODS To obtain the information about the epidemic situation of norovirus involving 15 patients in the two wards of our hospital, during the period from Nov 12 to 15, 2006. RESULTS It was a norovirus gastroenteritis outbreak in the 8 cases among 15 patients and there were other 7 sporadic cases. The consummate monitoring system on nosocomial infection could gain the information of disease, and be very helpful to control its transmission. Beijing Municipal Center for Quality Control and Improvement of the Management of Nosocomial Infection was known the information and shared it among different kinds of hospitals. Thus an unnecessary panic was avoided in Beijing at that time. CONCLUSIONS The social factor, senile situation and immunocompromise are the causes of this norovirus outbreak. The effective control measures and the information exchange in time could prevent the spread of infection. It is shown that the nosocomial infection monitoring network could catch the epidemic tendency of nosocomial infection sensitively, so to strengthen the monitoring network is the key.

0.05).Ticlopidine could inhibit thrombosis induced by ferric chloride,but it did not influence TXB_2 and 6-keto-PGF_1? content and activities of AT-Ⅲ and PC in the plasma.Ticlopidine could enhance activity of t-PA in the plasma.It may be related to the decrease of t-PA consumption by inhibiting thrombosis.Antithrombosis action of ticlopidine may not be concerned to inhibiting production of TXB_2 of platelet.LMWH could inhibit thrombosis also,but it did not influence TXB_2 and 6-ketoPGF_(1?) content in the plasma.LMWH could enhance activities of t-PA and t-PA/PAI-1 ratio,which may be related to the promoting release of t-PA in vascular endothelial cells.LMWH could reduce activity of AT-Ⅲ,which may be concerned with combination of LMWH and AT-Ⅲ result in AT-Ⅲ consumption.Conclusion Ferric chloride may induce occlusive thrombosis in rats.Thrombosis may be associated with activation of platelet and blood coagulation system,lower of anticoagulative protein and fibrinolytic activity.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) on mRNA expressions of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), interleukin-1 receptor type I (IL-1RI), interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), cysteinyl-aspartate specific protease-1 (caspase-1), caspase-3 and caspase-8 after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats. METHODS: Focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion in rats was induced by the method of nylon monofilament via the internal carotid artery. PNS was administered intraperitoneally respectively five minutes before cerebral ischemia and twelve hours after cerebral ischemia. After cerebral ischemia for two hours followed by reperfusion for twenty two hours, the mRNA expressions of IL-1 beta, IL-1RI, IL-1ra, ICAM-1, caspase-1, caspase-3 and caspase-8 in brain tissue were determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assay. RESULTS: After cerebral ischemia for two hours followed by reperfusion for twenty two hours, the mRNA expression levels of IL-1 beta, IL-1RI, IL-1ra, ICAM-1, caspase-1, caspase-3 and caspase-8 in brain tissue in the untreated group were obviously elevated as compared to those in the sham-operation group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The mRNA expression levels of IL-1 beta, IL-1RI, IL-1ra in brain tissue in the PNS group were lower than those in the untreated group, but higher than those in the sham-operation group, and without statistical differences as compared to those in the sham-operation group and in the untreated group (P>0.05). The mRNA expression level of caspase-3 in brain tissue in the PNS group was significantly lower than that in the untreated group (P<0.05), but PNS had no effect on the mRNA expression levels of ICAM-1, caspase-1 and caspase-8 in brain tissue. CONCLUSION: PNS can inhibit the mRNA expression of caspase-3, slightly inhibit the mRNA expressions of IL-1 beta and its correlative inflammatory factors in brain tissue. The protective effects of PNS on cerebral injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion may be related to inhibiting the mRNA expressions of caspase-3, IL-1 beta and its correlative inflammatory factors in brain tissue.

Objective To evaluate the early effects on insulin resistance following sleeve gastrectomy with ileal interposition duodenojejunal bypass operation.Methods From Jun.2010 to Sep.2011,37 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients [23 male,14 female; mean age (45.2 ± 2.4) years,mean BMI (21.7 ± 1.8) kg/m2] underwent sleeve gastrectomy with ileal interposition duodenojejunal bypass operation.Fasting plasma glucose(FPG),fasting insulin(FIns),body mass index(BMI),and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMAIR) were detected before surgery and on the 10th,20th,30th,and 60th day after surgery.Results The level of FPG was (6.8 ± 0.7) mmol/L,(7.2 ± 0.6) mmol/L,(6.9 ± 0.3) mmol/L respectively on the 10th,20th,and 30th day after surgery,significantly lower than that before surgery[(10.2 ±0.4)mmol/L].The difference had statistical significance (P ＜ 0.05).The level of Fins was (6.3 ± 1.1) mIu/L,(7.1 ± 1.3) mIu/L,and (7.3 ± 1.6) mIu/L respectively on the 10th,20th,and 30th day after surgery,significantly lower than that before surgery[(12.6 ± 1.4)mIu/L].The difference had statistical significance (P ＜ 0.05).The level of lnHOMA-IR was 0.7 ± 0.2,0.9 ± 0.5,and 0.8 ±0.4 respectively on the 10th,20th,and 30th day after surgery,significantly lower than that before surgery (1.8 ±0.6).The differenc had statistical significance(P ＜0.05).However,the change of BMI was not obvious between before surgery and on the 10th,20th,and 30th day after surgery.The difference had no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05).on the 60th day after surgery,the level of FPG,Fins,lnHOMA-IR and BMI was significantly reduced compared with that before surgery.The difference had statistical significantce(P ＜0.05).Conclusion After sleeve gastrectomy with ileal interposition duodenojejunal bypass operation,the early improvement of insulin resistance occurs rapidly and it is iadependent of the loss of BMI.

ABSTRACT:Objective To establish a rapid molecular method for the detection of aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2)and investigate the gene polymorphisms of ALDH2?2 and determine whether the polymorphic ALDH2 gene is associated with drinking behavior in a Chinese population.Methods The gene polymorphisms of ALDH2?2 were detected using pyrosequencing,TaqMan Real-time PCR and GeneChip microarray technologies;genotyping of 302 volunteers was performed to assess their genetic associations with alcohol use behavior.Results We developed pyrosequencing,TaqMan Real-time PCR and GeneChip microarray methods to identify ALDH2? 2 polymorphisms.The allele frequency of ALDH2?2 was 20.36% in the Chinese population:16.33% in the alcoholic group and 27.83% in non-drinkers (P=0.001).In contrast,the genotype frequency of heterozygous ALDH2?1/?2 plus homozygous ALDH2?2/?2 was 45.28% in non-drinkers and 32.65% in the alcoholics group (P=0.030). Allele frequency of ALDH2 genotypes differed significantly between our Chinese sample and other ethnic groups in Asia,and it was significantly higher than that in European and American countries.Conclusion The developed pyrosequencing,TaqMan Real-time PCR and GeneChip microarray methods are rapid,accurate,high-throughput, convenient,and reliable for detecting ALDH2 polymorphisms.ALDH2?2 gene can protect against the development of alcoholism.The allele frequency of ALDH2 in this Chinese population differs from that in other ethnic groups.
