Objective To explore risk factors for healthcare-associated infection (HAI)in patients undergoing craniocerebral operation,and provide guidance for the prevention of HAI in patients in department of neurosurgery. Methods 200 patients who underwent craniocerebral operation in a department of neurosurgery from November 2013 to November 2014 were surveyed,risk factors for HAI were analyzed.Results Among 200 patients undergo-ing craniocerebral operation,81 patients developed 99 cases of HAI,HAI rate was 40.50%,HAI case rate was 49.50%;the top five HAI sites were lower respiratory tract,urinary tract,intracranial site,bloodstream,and in-testinal tract.Univariate analysis showed that patients’age ≥60,Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)<15,intraoperative blood loss ≥800 mL,staying in intensive care unit(ICU),indwelling gastric tube,ventricular drainage,using ventilator,tracheotomy,and using H2 receptor antagonists were important risk factors for HAI in patients undergo-ing craniocerebral operation (all P <0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that patients’age ≥60, GCS<15,staying in ICU,and using H2 receptor antagonists were independent risk factors for HAI in patients un-dergoing craniocerebral operation.Conclusion Strengthening the surveillance of HAI patients undergoing cranioce-rebral operation and realizing risk factors for HAI are helpful for taking comprehensive prevention measures and re-ducing the incidence of HAI.

Electroencephalography (EEG) is an important instrument for the evaluation of brain function, and an irreplaceable diagnostic technique for nervous system diseases. At present, China still lacks professional child-EEG talents. Therefore, it is a task of great priority to establish an effective and practical training method and foster more child-EEG physicians. As most trainees have not learned EEG before and only have limited time for learning, we divide the child-EEG training into three phases, includ-ing theory learning, practice training, and EEG reading and interpretation on the basis of the general rules in learning EEG. In the theory learning phase, basic EEG knowledge is taught comprehensively to form a solid foundation for future study. In practice training phase, the trainees acquire important skills of EEG by carrying out complete EEG monitoring, eliminating EEG artifacts, observing seizures, and read real-time EEG. In the phase of EEG reading and interpretation, the trainees learn to analyze EEG gradually by read-ing and report EEG under the guidance of the senior physician. Strict examination is arranged for each phase to evaluate study results objectively. The phased model is designed to implement a step-by-step training of child-EEG and foster the trainee's independent ability to carry out EEG inspection.

Objective To observe the change of intestinal microflora on the process of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH),and to explore the synbiotics therapeutic effect on NASH.Methods Rats were administrated with high fat diet to establish NASH model.In the process of NASH rats modeling,the level of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), fasting blood sugar (FBS) and fasting insulin (FINS) was dynamically tested by automatic biochemical analyzer.The change of main intestinal flora was detected by 16 S rRNA fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction.NAFLD activity score was calculated.HE staining was used to observe the hepaticpathological changes and the TLR4 expression was detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunohistochemical method.Until the 4th,8th,10th weekin the process of NASH modeling, 10 rats were feeded with synbiotics for 2 weeks, and all of above indicators were tested and observed.Results 1)With the extension of a high-fat diet feeding time, the degree of hepatocyte steatosis obviously increased.NAFLD score was significantly heightened(P<0.01).2)Number of independent activities of rats significantly increased, the serological level of TG, TC, LDL, FBS and FINS were lower significantly after intervention with synbiotics for 2 weeks(P<0.05).3)Synbiotics intervention for two weeks significantly increased the amount of bifidobacterium and lactobacillus and decrease the amount of enterococcus significantly(P<0.05).4)The expression of TLR4 was gradually increased in the process of NASH rats modeling(P<0.05),but decreased after 2 weeks of the synbiotics-intervention (P<0.05).Conclusions Intestinal microecology change is closely related to the development of NASH,therefor, synbiotics could improve the quality of life and biochemical indicators of NASH rats through adjusting intestinal microecology and the expression level of TLR4 protein might been involved.

AIM: To study the expression and its kinetics of rice phenylalanine ammonia-lyase gene encoding into E. coli as the basis of treatment for phenylketouria. METHODS: The phenylalanine ammonia-lyase-1-cDNA(rPAL-1-cDNA) from rice was recombined into E. coli high expression vector pET-28c and transformed into E. coli host strain BL21DE3. Engineering bacteria was then inducted by isopropyl-?-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) for 1, 3, 5, 7 hours, in order to obtain high level expression. RESULTS: After induction, the expression level of fusion protein was 21.40%, 30.60%, 35.40%, 35.43% respectively. The fusion protein exhibited a band of 78 6 kD on SDS-PAGE analysis,but was not found in controls.The target protein was mainly existed in the form of inclusion body. CONCLUSION:Rice PAL gene expressing E. coli was established by gentic engineering technique.

Objective To explore the risk factors in children with epilepsy and their effects on attack rate of epilepsy.Methods One hundred and sixty epilepsy patients(patient group,88 boys and 72 girls)and 150 healthy children(control group,72 boys and 78 girls)were selected.All children conformed epilepsy at the west China second hospital were consecutively included in the study for 6 months period.The range of age was from 1 month to 16 years[(7.0?4.7)years old] of patient group children.All children with epilepsy had no-causation seizure for more than twice time and were diagnosed by electroencephalogram.Neurologically normal children in same period,matched for age and sex,visiting the health care clinic were selected as controls.The range of age was from 2 month to 16 years [(6.3?4.5)years old] of control group children.The risk factors examined were febrile convulsions,head trauma,central nervous system infections,abnormal perinatal history,family history of epilepsy and parental consanguinity.The data of patients and controls were obtained from a questionnaire through personal interviews.Details on the patient,family history,and parental age at the time of childbirth were included.Medical records were then reviewed.According to the data type,the statistics were performed with ?2 test and the significance level was the P

Objective To investigate the impact of 1,25(OH)2D3 on histological changes and activation of STAT3 in BLM?induced pulmonary fibrosis mice. Methods 30 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group ,BLM group and BLM+VD group. Mice in BLM group and BLM+VD group received intratracheal injection of BLM(3 U/kg). Control group were intratracheally injected equal volume of sterile saline. From the first day after the surgery,mice in BLM+VD group received intraperitoneal injection of VD (5μg/kg·d). After 21 days, H&E and Masson′s trichrome staining were carried out. Aschroft score were used to evaluate histological changes in lungs. IL?6,IL?4 and INF?γin BALF were assessed by Elisa. p?STAT3,α?SMA and Collagen I were detected by western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry. Results Fibrosis score and level of α?SMA,Collagen I in BLM group were significantly higher than that in control group (P < 0.05). However ,treatment with VD effectively at?tenuated fibrosis (P<0.05). IL?6 and IL?4 increased while INF?γwas decreased in BALF of BLM group (P<0.05). VD could ameliorate these changes. Upregulation and neuclear translocation of p?STAT3 were observed in BLM group,while VD intervention could inhibit phosphorylation of STAT3. Conclusions VD attenuate BLM?induced pulmonary fibrosis and regulate inflammatory cytokines probably by blocking STAT3 activation.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the clinical epidemiology features of adult idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) in Zhongshan Hospital,and to investigate their therapeutic effect and its possible influence factors.Methods A total of 183 patients admitted to the Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University and diagnosed as IMN by renal biopsy from January 2013 to December 2015 were involved.Their baseline information including demographics and pathologic was collected.Patients were followed up for at least 12 months.Serum albumin ＜ 30 g/L and 24 h urine protein ＞ 3.5g were defined as nephrotic syndrome (NS).IMN patients were divided into NS and non-NS groups and compared.Furthermore,the baseline data of remission and no remission patients were compared,and the correlations of their baseline data with conservative and immunosuppressive therapy were assessed by logistic regression analysis.Results (1) IMN accounted for 11.1％ of renal biopsy cases in our hospital,with an average age of 57 years and 59.6％ male patients.(2) Compared with patients without NS,IMN patients with NS were older,had a shorter time from the onset to receive renal biopsy,lower estimated glomerular filtration rate,and higher total cholesterol,low density lipoprotein cholesterol,triglyceride and serum creatinine (all P ＜ 0.05).(3) The effective rate of conservative treatment in IMN patients without NS was 65.7％,and the ineffective group had higher triglyceride compared with the effective group (P=0.019).(4) The effective rate of immunosuppressive therapy in IMN patients with NS was 81.2％,and low serum albumin was an independent risk factor for the poor efficacy of immunosuppressive therapy (OR=1.202,95％ CI 1.003-1.440,P=0.046).(5) The effective rate of conservative treatment in IMN patients with NS was 55.5％,and low serum albumin was an independent risk factor for the poor efficacy of conservative treatment (OR=1.629,95％CI 1.047-2.536,P=0.023).Conclusions The detection rate of IMN is increasing year by year,but the remission rate of conservative treatment is still not low in mild and moderate patients.For the patients without NS,high triglyceride may predict a poor effect of conservative treatment.Hypoproteinemia is a predictor of poor effect,no matter what a NS patient takes immunosuppressive therapy or conservative treatment.

Objective To observe the effect of penetrating electro-acupuncture at scalp-acupoints on the motor function and oxidative stress action of mice with Parkinson's disease (PD).Methods Mouse model of PD was established by 5-day intraperitoneal injection of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP,30 mg/kg),and then PD mice were given electro-acupuncture set at different parameters.The effect of the electroacupuncture on the behavior and expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) of mice were observed to screen out the appropriate treatment parameters.Healthy C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into blank group,model group,positive group (madopar,6.25 mg/kg) and electro-acupuncture group.The mice except for blank group were given intraperitoneal injection of MPTP to induce PD,and then the PD mice of positive group and electroacupuncture group were treated with madopar(6.25 mg/kg) and electro-acupuncture respectively from the 6th day for 7 continuous days.Behavioral test was carried out on the 5~ modeling day and on the Th electro-acupuncture treatment day to evaluate the motor function of the mice.After the mice were killed and their brains were isolated,mitochondrial complex Ⅰ ～Ⅳ activities,reactive oxygen species(ROS) level,malondialdehyde (MDA) content,and total activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the cerebral mitochondria were determined to evaluate the effect of electro-acupuncture at acupoints on anti-oxidative stress of PD mice.Results The motor function of PD mice was improved,the activity of mitochondrial complex Ⅰ was increased,the contents of ROS and MDA in cerebral mitochondria were decreased,and the activity of SOD was increased in the electro-acupuncture group,the differences being significant compared with those of the model group (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Penetrating electro-acupuncture at scalp-acupoints can increase the anti-oxidative ability of the cerebral mitochondria and improve the motor function of PD mice.
