Objective To discuss the reasonable utilization of β-lactam antibiotics in patients with renal failure on hemedialysis. Methods The clinical characteristics of patients with renal failure on hemodylysis,who de-veloped the adverse effect of nervous system and psychiatric symptom while being treated with β-lactam antibiotics,were retrospectively analyzed. Results The adverse effect of nervous system and psychiatric symptom showed dur-ing and after hemodialysis,including: mental confusion,hyperexcitabiliy,incoherent speech,lethargy and amyestasia in two cases. Physical examination did not show signs of cerebral focal injury in all cases. Computed tomography of brain in 7 patients did not show acute lesions. The symptoms completely disappeared after withdrawal of β-lactam antibiotics but bemodialysis or hemodiafiltration continued. Conclusion β-lactam antibiotics used in conventional dose could cause temporary adverse effect of nervous system in patients with renal failure on bemodialysis,which is related to prolongation of drug half life.

Objective To investigate the effects of different analgesia protocols on immune function in patients undergoing surgery for ovarian neoplasms after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Methods Forty ovarian neoplasms patients ageing from 31 to 62 years undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy were randomly divided into 2groups:epidural analgesia group (group E,n =20) and intravenous analgesia group (group Ⅰ,n =20).All patients underwent surgery under total intravenous general anesthesia.Patients in group E were given 2 mg morphine in epidural space at half an hour before abdomen was closed,then epidural analgesia pump was installed,with ropivacaine composite morphine in the pump.Analgesia time was 48 h.Patients in group Ⅰ were given sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg intravenously at half an hour before abdomen was closed,then analgesia pump was installed,with sufentanil compound flurbiprofen ester in the pump.Analgesia time was 48 h.The cervical venous blood samples were obtained from the patients at 30 min before surgery(T0),immediately(T1),12 h(T2),24 h(T3) and 48 h (T4) after the end of operation for determination of the expression of CD3 +,CD4 +,CD8 + on T cells and natural killer cell.Visual analogue scales (VAS)and adverse reaction at T2-4 were recorded.Results No statistical difference was found between group E and group Ⅰ in VAS and adverse reaction.Compared with T0,CD3 +,CD4 + T-lymphocytes,CD4 +/CD8 +,and NK cell decreased.Compared with group E,CD8 + increased at T1-2in both groups and at T3-4 in group Ⅰ.CD3 +,CD4+ T-lymphocytes,CD4+/CD8 + and NK cell decreased while CD8 + increased at T2-4 in group Ⅰ.Conclusion Epidural analgesia may be better to promote the immunologic function of ovarian neoplasms patients undergoing surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Objective To assess the feasibility of heterogeneous acellular dermal matrix(ADM)seeded with adipose derived stem cells(ADSC)for urethroplasty in a rabbit model.Methods ADSC were isolated from a rabbit and expanded in vitro,then identified by flow cytometry.We seeded ADSC onto the ADM and made it into tissue-engineered urethra.12 male rabbits were removed 1 cm urethra and divided into experiment group and control group.There were 6 rabbits in each group.Reconstructed urethra with tissueengineered urethra was used in experiment group,while unseeded ADM were used in control group.Urethrography was performed at 6 months after surgery.The animals were scarified at 3 and 6 months after surgery and the repaired urethra were harvested.H&E staining and immunohistochemical staining were performed with cytokeratin AE1/AE3 and smooth muscle desmin makers.Results The morphology of isolated ADSC was with long spindle cross-links,and had multicentral growth.Flow cytometry showed that the ADSC expressed CD166,CD105,CD90 and CD44,but not expressed CD45 and CD13.The cells could growth well on the ADM and showed good biocompatibility with it.All animals could void normally,urethrography showed there was no significant stenosis.3 months after surgery,the experiment group appeared regenerated smooth muscle but not in the control group,both groups did not regenerate urothelium.At 6 months urothelium and smooth muscle cells could be observed in the experiment group,but only the smooth muscle was evident in the control group.Conclusions By applying tissue engineering methods,we can seed the ADSC onto the heterogeneous ADM and make it into tissue-engineered urethra,which can help improve the reconstructive effect of urethra.

Haemophilia is caused by lack of coagulation factor VIII or IX in patients′blood with inadequate hemostasis.Currently recombinant coagulation factor VII(rFVII)produced in different cells is used against clini-cal bleeding of haemophilia patients.To enhance the production and activity of rFVII;some eukaryotic cells such as baby hamster kidney(BHK);Chinese hamster ovary(CHO);insect cell and fish embryo;were used to express rFVII.Meanwhile;the effect of functional gene on the activity of rFVII and the limitation of rFVII production caused by post-translational modification were investigated by different methods.The role of rFVII in hemostasis;synthesis of rFVII in different eukaryotic cells and impact on production of post-translational modification are reviewed in this article.

Objective To investigate the effects of siRNA targeting decoy receptor 3 on the cell proliferation of ovarian carcinoma cell CAOV3. Methods We constructed siRNA targeting decoy receptor 3,which was transfected into ovarian carcinoma cells CAOV3 , and observed the effects of DcR3 siRNA on the cell proliferation of CAOV3 cell by MTT experiment. The experiment contained 3 groups, including the normal control group (CAOV3 cell was not transfected), the negative control group (CAOV3 cell was transfected with blank vector) and the experimental group (CAOV3 cell was transfected with DcR3 siRNA). The expression levels of DcR3 mRNA were detected by Real-time PCR. Results DcR3 siRNA recognized and degraded DcR3 mRNA in CAOV3 cells of the experimental group. DcR3 mRNA of the experimental group was significantly decreased. The proliferation of CAOV3 cell was significantly decreased by DcR3 siRNA comparing with the normal control group and negative control group (P < 0.01). Conclusion DcR3 siRNA can inhibit the proliferation of ovarian cancer cell line CAOV3 by recognized and degraded DcR3 mRNA.

Reduced graphene oxide-BiPO4 ( RGO-BiPO4 ) nanocomposite was synthesized successfully via a one-pot solvothermal method using graphene oxide and bismuth nitrate as precursors and glycerin as solvent at 200℃ for 1 h. The morphology and structure of as-prepared nanocomposite were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, SERS and UV-Visible spectrum. The photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposite was evaluated by the photodegradation of Rhodamine B ( RhB) dye under UV irradiation and it was found that RGO-BiPO4 nanocomposite possessed higher photocatalytic activity than that of pure BiPO4 . RhB could be decomposed 87. 5% within 2 h. Under the same conditions, only 45. 7% of the RhB dye could be decomposed by BiPO4 . The enhancement of photocatalytic activity could be attributed to the effective charge separation due to the electron-accepting and transporting properties of graphene.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for bacterial pneumonia and the predictive value of early serum procalcitonin (PCT) level for bacterial pneumonia and sepsis classification in patients with acute stroke. Methods The patients with acute stroke in neurological intensive care unit were enroled retrospectively and divided into either a bacterial pneumonia group or a non-infection group according to whether they had bacterial pneumonia or not. The former was redivided into a non-severe sepsis subgroup and a severe sepsis subgroup according to the sepsis classification. The demographics, baseline clinical data, and PCT level (the bacterial pneumonia group was the PCT level when infection occurred, the non-infection group was the PCT level within 24 h of admission) were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent risk factors for bacterial pneumonia. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of serum PCT level for bacterial pneumonia and sepsis
classification. Results A total of 164 patients with acute stroke were enroled in the study, including 114 in the bacterial pneumonia group (66 in the non-severe sepsis subgroup and 48 in the severe sepsis subgroup) and 50 in the non-infection group. There were significant differences in age, fasting blood glucose level, Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score, and PCT level between the bacterial pneumonia group and the non-infection group (P < 0. 05 ). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that fasting blood glucose level ≥7 mmol/L (odds ratio [ OR] 8. 488, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 2. 739 - 26. 300; P < 0. 01), GCS score ≤8 (OR 11. 361, 95% CI 2. 175 - 59. 352; P < 0. 01), and PCT level ≥0. 050 ng/ml (OR 16. 715, CI 5. 075 - 55. 049; P < 0. 01) were the independent risk factors for bacterial pneumonia. In the bacterial pneumonia group, the PCT level (median; interquartile range) in the severe sepsis subgroup was significantly higher than that in the non-severe sepsis subgroup (0. 835 [ 0. 164 - 1. 715 ] ng/ml vs. 0. 114 [0. 073 - 0. 275 ] ng/ml; Z = 4. 818, P < 0. 01 ). ROC curve analysis showed that PCT ≥0. 070 ng/ml could better predict the occurrence of bacterial pneumonia in patients with acute stroke, with sensitivity of 84. 2% , specificity of 74. 0% and the area under the ROC curve of 0. 865 (CI 0. 806 - 0. 924, P < 0. 01); PCT 0. 669 ng/mlcould better predict the occurrence of severe sepsis in acute stroke patients with bacterial pneumonia, with sensitivity of 56. 3% , specificity of 92. 4% and the area under the ROC curve of 0. 765 (CI 0. 672 - 0. 858; P < 0. 01). Conclusions The early PCT level ≥0. 050 ng/ml was an independent risk factor for occurring bacterial pneumonia in patients with acute stroke, its level had certaln predictive value for bacterial pneumonia and the severity of infection.

Objective To explore whether lymphovascular invasion can be used as a prognostic indicator in patients with bladder cancer underwent radical cystectomy.Methods The series included clinical data of 459 patients who had underwent radical cystectomy for bladder cancer between January 2006 and December 2012 in our hospital.Among all the patients,391 were male while 68 were female.Pathological grade G1 was diagnosed in 47,G2 in 104 and G3 in 308.Amount of pathological stage T1 or Tis or Ta or T0 was 167,T2 127,T3 89 and T4 76.Of all the patients,92 had lymph node metastasis.Follow-up time was between 13 and 99 months.The presence or absence of lymphovascular invasion was determined by HE staining in the radical cystectomy specimen.The x2 test was used to detect the association between lymphovascular invasion and several clinicopathological features,the Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare recurrence-free survival according to findings of lymphovascular invasion in the surgical specimen,and the multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression model was used to assess the prognostic significance of some factors.Results Lymphovascular invasion was detected in 128 (28％) specimens.Among them,44 (34％) had tumor recurrence.Lymphovascular invasion was significantly associated with gender,tumor grade,pathological stage,lymph node metastasis and disease recurrence.Recurrence-free survival in patients without lymphovascular invasion was significantly higher than that in those with lymphovascular invasion (P＜ 0.05).Cox proportional hazards model showed that age,pathological stage and lymph node metastasis were independent predictors for disease recurrence.Conclusion In patients with bladder cancer underwent radical cystectomy,lymphovascular invasion may have a significant association with some prognostic parameters,but it can not be used as an independent predictor of disease recurrence.
