Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2013;20(5):494-497
Objective To understand the distribution of pathogen and antibiotic resistance of nosocomial fungal infection,and provide evidence for the prevention of fungal infection in premature infants in hospital.Methods The clinical data of 72 cases of premature infants with nosocomial fungal infections were retrospectively analyzed.Results The top three of the pathogenic of fungal infection in premature infants in our hospital were 38 strains of Candida pelliculosa (52.8%,38/72),10 strains of Candida albicans (13.9%,10/72),9 strains of Candida parapsilosis (12.5%,9/72).The weights of 72 cases with nosocomial fungal infection in preterm infants were below 2000 g,who were dominated by very low birth weight infants.Gestational age of 27 ~ 30 weeks were in the majority,which accounted for 36.1% of 27 ~ 28 weeks (26/72) and 34.7% of 29 ~30 weeks (25/72),each group were dominated by bacteria pathogen candida.Seventy-two strains of fungi were isolated to amphotericin B drug resistance,the 1.4% (1/72) resistance rate to fluconazole,4.2% (3/72) pairs of voriconazole resistance rate,2.8% (2/72) for itraconazole resistant rate.There were no significant differences among the last three resistant rate (x2 =1.02,P > 0.05).The 5-fluorine cytosine resistance accounted for 59.7% (43/72),and the 4 kinds of drug resistance rate had significant difference (x2 =57.73,P < 0.05).There was no significant difference in resistance rate between amphotericin B and fluconazole (x2 =1.01,P > 0.05).Conclusion Fluconazole could be used to those premature infants with high risk factors of fungal infection.Once the fungal infection is diagnosed,intravenous fluconazole could be the first choice,when necessary,amphotericin B can be used together.

Journal of Kunming Medical University 1986;0(04):-
In this article,authers reported a method of keeping hetero-sclera as intra-sclera fillings and external Pad pressure. Based on the analysis and discussion of 153 eye cases, it is shown that there is no obvious relationship between the success of operations and the range of retinal detachment and the size of holes. The success,however.has a close bearing on the membrane formation. Among the 153 eye cases, 126 were cured which accounted for 82.4% while 27 cases failed, making up 17.6%. In the process of using foreing sclera, no complications,such as infection, sclera′s falling off or getting into the vitreous body,were found.

Aim This was to study the effects of hydroxysafflor yellow A(HYSA)on iNOS expression in rats following focal cerebral ischemia. Methods Rat cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion. The expression levels of iNOS were examined using immunohistochemical method. The neurological outcome and the cerebral infarct area were evaluated. Results The expression levels of iNOS in HYSA groups were significantly lower than those in ischemic model group. Treatment with HYSA also decreased the cerebral infarct area and the neurological deficit score. Conclusion HYSA induced down regulation of iNOS expression, which may mediate the protective effect of HYSA on cerebral ischemia.

Gas chromatography with mass spectrum detector ( GC-MSD) coupled with purge-and-trap system was set up to analyze the concentration of isoprene in natural waters. The best experimental conditions were established, including purge gas flow rate ( 50 mL/min ) , purge time ( 15 min ) , the optimum capillary column ( Rt-Alumina BOND/KCl) and the appropriate condition of temperature programming. When analyzing isoprene in natural waters, the precision was <4% (n=6), the detection limit was 0. 5 pmol/L and the recovery was 91%-102%. The preservative experiment showed that there was no obvious variation in sample concentrations of isoprene within 60 days. The concentrations of isoprene measured with the method ranged from 60 . 8 to 278 . 7 pmol/L in the Jiaozhou Bay and its adjacent river estuaries and from 44 . 7 to 77 . 2 pmol/L in Yellow River estuary, which was in good accord with those results reported in literatures in other coastal waters. In conclusion, the analytical method could meet the requirements of the analysis of concentration of isoprene in natural waters.

Objective:In this study, the feasibility of this method was evaluated in children with large distance femoral lengthening cases, and the acute correction and staging surgeries were compared at healing speed. At the same time the key points of surgical techniques would be summarized, so as to clarify the application value of this technology in children patients.Methods:Since July 7 of 2014 to January 16 of 2018, a total of 10 cases of Lengthening Over Retrograde Nail (LORN) surgery have been formulated and carried out, including 9 males and 1 females.The average age of the operation was 13.10±2.18 y. In all cases, the osteotomy point was located in the metaphysis of the distal femur, and the records from the first meeting to the end of follow-up included gender, date of birth, reason of discrepancy and treatment history, age at surgery, lengthing distance, the length of duration with frame, healing time, ROM of the knee joint, complications, et al. To compare the healing time of acute correction and staging surgery. Statistical analysis was made by SPSS 22.0 software, and then reasonable treatment strategies were proposed.Results:The average lengthing distance of 7.07±1.01 cm. The median time of the duration with frame was 8.5 (4,16) months, and the median follow-up time was 39 (34, 54) months. All cases obtained good clinical and imaging healing (1.70±1.10 month/cm vs. 1.16±0.54 month/cm), and all regained to normal walking function (136.67°±20.82° vs. 125.71°±26.37°), without the occurrence of fracture after therapy. There were no statistically significant differences in the speed of healing, range of joint motion or complication rate between acute correction and staging treatment. Conclusion:It is feasible for femoral lengthening surgery assisted by retrograde intramedullary nail in the treatment of femoral shortening deformityin children. The correction of mild angular deformity and lengthening surgery can be performed simultaneously. The osteotomy site was proposed at distal metaphysealof the femur for better quality of osteogenesis and shorter duration for fixator. It is safe to osteotomy and lengthening in the area of enchondroma.
