Objective To analyze the status and the distribution of causes of injuries as well as disease burden in children under 5 years old in Sichuan Province.Methods The death information cards of children who died because of injuries in Sichuan Province in 2012 were analyzed,and the years of potential life lost and working years of potential life lost were calculated to evaluate the disease burden.Results 22.87％ (1 502/6 567) of children lost their lives because of injuries,the mortality of injury was 4.13‰,63.45％ of children died at the age between l and 4,and most of the children died at home or on the road; The top 3 causes of children death of injuries below 5 years old were drowning,accidental suffocation and traffic accidents.The years of potential life lost and working years of potential life lost were 73.05 years and 58.30 years.Conclusion Injury is one of the most mainly risk factor of health and life of children,the government should further prevent and control children injuries.

Objective To discuss clinical curative effects of using Forehead skin expansion combine with auricular cartilage for repairing nose alar full-thickness defects.Methods From August 2010 to August 2010,36 patients with nose alar full-thickness defects in the second affiliated hospital of kunmin medical university,The defect range exceed 1.5 cm× 1.2 cm.50-80 ml expander was implanted in forehead and injected saline water to expand in order to acquire extra skin.We Turn around the skin of defect as the lining of nose,harvest ipsilateral auricular cartilage for nose ala framework,Expanded forehead pedicle flap was transferred to cover framework.The donor area was sutured directly.The pedicle of flap was cut and trimmed after 2 months.Results Follow-up time of 3-18 months after the operation,All flaps are survive,nose alar defects are repaired successfully.Some cases were performed second surgery,postoperative,nose alar color,thickness,nostril size and shape the same with the contralateral side.Donor site healed with linear scar.Conclusions This method could be easy to obtain excess skin,for repairing large sides nose alar full-thickness defect.Frontal scar is not obvious,It is a practical.

Objective To analyze the influences of catheter related bloodstream infection(CRBSI) for ICU patients with PICC. Methods Information and documents of 164 PICC patients were collected from October 2014 to December 2016, general information, intravenous drugs and skin conditions were analyzed if they have any impacts on CRBSI. Results Sixteeen patients with CRBSI and 148 patients with non-CRBSI.The acute physiology and chronic health evaluation(APACHEⅡ) score,hospitalization time,PICC catheterization time was(22.25 ± 4.95)points,(99.44 ± 57.34)d, (67.44 ± 48.30)d in CRBSI patients, and (14.64 ± 6.86) points, 21.00(22.00) d, 12.00 (14.00) d in non-CRBSI patients. There were significant differences (U=439.00, 299.00, 383.00, all P<0.01). The incidence of injection of vasoactive drugs and skin edema were accounted for 8/16,10/16 in CRBSI patients,and 25.00%(37/148),31.08%(46/148) in non-CRBSI patients, the difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.53, 6.34, P<0.05). The APACHE II score was an independent risk factor for PICC catheter-related infections(OR=1.21,P<0.01). Conclusions The environment in ICU is quite complicated and patients often have the characteristic of instability, which drives us to evaluate the influence factors of CRBSI and offer guidance for PICC maintenance.These can help reduce the incidence of CRBSI in ICU and improve the quality of patients.

OBJECTIVETo study the mortality of children under five and the causes of death together with related trend of dynamics, from 2001 to 2013 in Sichuan province.

METHODSUsing the Children Death Monitoring Network under five in Sichuan province to obtain basic data. Descriptive statistics and chi-square were used to describe the mortalities in children and infants as well as the causes of death, in both rural and urban areas of Sichuan province.

RESULTSIn Sichuan province, the mortality of children under five decreased from 35.30‰ in 2001 to 11.77‰ in 2013. In 2013, mortality in the rural areas was 2.37 times more than that in the urban area. The proportion of neonatal deaths among the mortality in children under five was 44.72%. Pneumonia, congenital heart diseases and premature or low birth weigh were the top three causes of death for children under five. Among them, the top three causes of death for urban area were congenital heart disease, drowning, and premature or low birth weight/birth asphyxia. Meanwhile, the top three causes of death in rural areas were pneumonia, premature birth/low birth weight and birth asphyxia. Overall, the mortality rates of birth asphyxia, pneumonia and low birth weight gradually decreasd but drowning, diarrhea and traffic accidents fluctuated.

CONCLUSIONThe mortality of children under five in Sichuan province was 13‰, which had already met the goal set for the year 2020. However, reducing the mortality in rural areas, narrowing the gap between urban and rural areas seemed the main part of the future endeavor while focus of prevention should be adjusted according to the causes of death.

OBJECTIVES: Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) is a Gram-positive opportunistic pathogen that often causes hospital infections. With the abuse of antibiotics, the resistance of S. epidermidis gradually increases, and drug repurposing has become a research hotspot in the treating of refractory drug-resistant bacterial infections. This study aims to study the antimicrobial and antibiofilm effects of simeprevir, an antiviral hepatitis drug, on S. epidermidis in vitro. METHODS: The micro-dilution assay was used to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) of simeprevir against S. epidermidis. Crystal violet staining assay was used to detect the biofilm inhibitory effect of simeprevir. The antimicrobial activity of simeprevir against S. epidermidis and its biofilm were explored by SYTO9/PI fluorescent staining. The combined effect between simeprevir and gentamycin was assessed by checkerboard assay and was confirmed by time-inhibition assay. RESULTS: Simeprevir showed significant antimicrobial effects against S. epidermidis type strains and clinical isolates with the MIC and MBC at 2-16 μg/mL and 4-32 μg/mL, respectively. The antimicrobial effects of simeprevir were confirmed by SYTO9/PI staining. Simeprevir at MIC could significantly inhibit and break the biofilm on cover slides. Similarly, simeprevir also significantly inhibit the biofilm formation on the surface of urine catheters either in TSB [from (0.700±0.020) to (0.050±0.004)] (t=54.03, P<0.001), or horse serum [from (1.00±0.02) to (0.13±0.01)] (t=82.78, P<0.001). Synergistic antimicrobial effect was found between simeprevir and gentamycin against S. epidermidis with the fractional inhibitory concentration index of 0.5. CONCLUSIONS Simeprevir shows antimicrobial effect and anti-biofilm activities against S. epidermidis.
