ObjectiveTo study the early diagnosis and prevention of fungal infection in severe acute pancreatitis(SAP). Method 1.SAP patients from July 1998 to June 2002 were prospectively randomized into 3 groups: garlicin prevention group, fluconazole (low dosage) prevention group and control group, the incidence of fungal infection in SAP was compared between the groups. For fungal infection patients, the fungal clearance and mortality rate were observed. 2.Clinical data of SAP patients with fungal infection and with simple bacterial infection was compared by multivariate logistic regression, and clinical characters and risk factors of fungal infection were evaluated. Results 1.There were lower incidences of fungal infection in garlicin group (16% vs. 30%,P

Objective:To explore the role of Pim-1 in the pathology of inflammatory bowel disease and the potential effect of Pim-1 inhibitor on treating such disease.Methods:Forty-five BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=9):A normal control group,a inflammatory bowel disease group,two different dose of Pim-1 inhibitor treatment groups,and steroidhormone treatment group.The model of inflammatory bowel disease was induced by intracolonic administration of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenestdfonic acid (TNBS) and ethanol mixture.Mice were treated with Pim-1 inhibitor [intraperitoneal inject,5 or 10 mg/(kg.d)] for 5 days and prednisone (intragastric administration,0.1 mg/d) for 5 days.The DAI,colon length,gross score and pathological grade were evaluated.The expressions ofT cell master transcription factors T-box expressed in T cells (T-bet),GATA binding protein 3 (GATA-3),RA orphan receptorγ (RORyt)and forkhead box P3 (Foxp3) were measured by Real-time PCR and Western blot,respectively.Results:Pim-1 inhibitor and prednisone showed therapeutic effect on acute TNBS colitis in vivo.GATA3 and RORγt were significantly up-regulated in acute TNBS colitis (P＜0.05).In contrast,the expression of Foxp3 was suppressed in the inflammatory bowel disease group,whereas it did not cause any significant change in T-bet expression (P＞0.05).Administration of Pim-1 inhibitor and prednisone resulted in suppression of GATA3,RORγt expression,and the increase of Foxp3 expression (P＜0.05).Administration of Pim-1 inhibitor and prednisone resulted in inhibition of T-bet mRNA expression (P＜0.05),but only prednisone could inhibit T-bet protein expression (P＞0.05).Conclusion:Pim-1 inhibitor significantly suppresses Th2-and Th17-type immune responses.Furthermore,Pim-1 inhibitor could induce T-cell differentiation towards a Treg phenotype.Pim-1 inhibitor has therapeutic effect on acute TNBS colitis.

Objective:To investigate the main occupational hazards,occupational protection facilities and workers'health examination in 17 plywood manufacturing enterprises in Guangxi,so as to provide valuable basis for ensuring workers'physical and mental health.Methods:A total of 17 plywood enterprises in Guangxi were selected as the observation objects.Through the occupational hazard assessment survey,the occupational hazards in the working environment and the collection of workers'occupational health examination data,the main occupational health problems were comprehensively analyzed and evaluated.Results:The over-standard rates of wood dust,formaldehyde,noise,and high temperature in 17 plywood manufacturing enterprises were 5.6%,28.1%,24.9%,and 29.1%,respectively.The noise in 17 enterprises exceeded standards,the mood dust and formaldehyde in 5 enterprises exceeded standards,and high temperature in 2 enterprises exceeded standards.The coincidence rate of dustproof and poisonproof facilities in production protection was 98.3%,the coincidence rate of heat-proof facilities was 88.2%and the coincidence rate of noise protection facilities was 76.5%.The coincidence rate of wearing and using personal protective equipment was 52.9%,and the coincidence rate of installing eyewash spray devices was 58.8%.The total physical examination rate in 17 enterprises was 42.6%(705/1 654),and the abnormal detection rate of physical examination was 14.6%,among which the abnormal detection rates of hearing,chest X-ray,and lung function were 7.4%,2.1%,and 1.7%,respectively.Conclusions:The main occupational health problems in 17 plywood manufacturing enterprises in Guangxi are wood dust,formaldehyde,noise,and high temperature,especially noise.The prevention and control effects of wood dust and formaldehyde are good,but the prevention and control measures for high temperature and noise need to be further strengthened.

Background Programmed necrosis is closely related to the occurrence and development of neurodegenerative diseases, but whether lead causes programmed cell necrosis has not been reported. Objective This experiment is designed to probe into the function of programmed necrosis and the effect of its inhibitor on lead-induced microglia (BV2 cell) injury. Methods The BV2 cells at logarithmic growth phase were treated with 0, 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, and 200 μmol·L⁻¹ lead acetate for 12, 24, 36, and 48 h, respectively, and methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) was used to determine cell viability. After treatment with 0, 25, 50, and 100 μmol·L⁻¹ lead acetate for 24 h, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Western blotting, and flow cytometry were used to determine the expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3), receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) in the cells, and the effect of RIPK1 inhibitor Nec-1 pretreatment on lead-induced BV2 cell injury . Results The BV2 cell viability decreased with higher lead concentration (r_{12 h}=−0.995, r_{24 h}=−0.984, r_{36 h}=−0.983, r_{48 h}=−0.981, all P<0.01) and time extension (only for 5 μmol·L⁻¹ lead acetate, r=−0.994, P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the BV2 cell viability decreased at the same exposure time when the concentration of lead was above 10 μmol·L⁻¹ (P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the expressions of RIPK1 and MLKL were increased in the 25, 50, and 100 μmol·L⁻¹ lead groups (P<0.05 or 0.01), accompanied by an increase in the contents of inflammatory cytokine TNF-α, especially in the 100 μmol·L⁻¹ lead group, the increment was the highest (P<0.01). The expression levels of p-RIPK1 and p-MLKL in BV2 cells were both increased when the concentration of lead acetate was above 50 μmol·L⁻¹ (P<0.01). In addition, pretreatment with Nec-1 increased the cell viability rate and decreased the necrosis and late apoptosis rate of BV2 cells exposed to lead compared with corresponding lead exposure groups (P<0.05). Conclusions Lead can reduce BV2 cell viability, increase necrosis rate, and up-regulate the expressions of RIPK1, RIPK3, amd MLKL, and the phosphorylation levels of RIPK1 and MLKL. The RIPK1 inhibitor Nec-1 has an intervention effect on lead-induced damage in BV2 cells, indicating that programmed necrosis may play a role in lead neurotoxicity.

Objective To systematically retrieve,evaluate and integrate evidences about the assessment and management of perioperative pain in patients with acute aortic dissection.Methods PIPOST model was used to identify themes of assessment and management of perioperative pain.The literatures in the themes was systematically searched through the databases of UpToDate,JBI,BMJ Best Practice,practice guide REgistration for trans RAREncy(PREPARE),Guidelines International Network(GIN),National Guideline Clearinghouse(NGC),National Institute for Health and Care Excellence(NICE),Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network(SIGN),New Zealand Guidelines Group(NZGG),Registered Nurses'Association of Ontario(RNAO),Australian Clinical Practice Guidelines(ACPG),American Heart Association(AHA),European Society of Cardiology(ESC),the Chinese Cochrane Center,Medlive,Cochrane library,PubMed,SinoMed,CNKI,Wangfan Data,and VIP.The retrieved literatures were evaluated and the evidences that met the inclusive criteria were extracted from the literatures by researchers who had trained for evidence-based study.Results A total of 17 studies,including 5 guidelines,3 expert consensus,6 systematic reviews and 3 randomised controlled trials were included in this study.Totally,29 pieces of best evidence were extracted in the assessment and management of pain in perioperative patients with acute aortic dissection,including pain assessment,basic principles of pain management,medication intervention strategies of pain management,non-medication intervention strategies of pain management,pain evaluation,education of pain management and organising pain management.Conclusion Evidences in assessment and management of pain in perioperative patients with acute aortic dissection can provide references and guidance for clinical practice.
