Objective To make recommendations on the development of private hospitals,by means of investigation and analysis of their business operations.Methods Quantitative and descriptive analysis were used to study business operation data from 2011 to 2013 of the 172 private hospitals,in order to learn their present status and development trends.These data were compared with public hospitals in average to identify problems.Results The revenue and expenditure of theses private hospitals increased at a fast pace,with a revenue growth rate of 22.0% and an expenditure growth rate of 15.7% in 2013.Number of visits gradually improved,with an increase of 12.9%.But the rate of bed occupancy was only 68.1%,lower than the average of public hospitals.Conclusions In view of the low resource utilization,the authors recommend such hospitals to improve hospital management systems,and uphold the integrity of business,so as to compete with public hospitals differentially.

Objective To investigate the incidence of spasticity 6 months after first stroke. Methods 355 patients hospitalized from March 2012 to December 2013 were assessed with the modified Ashworth Scale 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after stroke. Results The incidence of spasticity was 42.7% in the 1st month, and increased to 63.7% and 65.7% 3 and 6 months after stroke, respectively. The incidence of spasticity was the most 3 months after stroke both in arms and legs. The incidence of moderate to severe spasticity was more in the arms than in the legs. There was no significant difference at incidence of spasticity among foci and ages. Conclusion Spasticity usually occurs within 3 months after stroke, and more frequent in the upper limb than lower limb.

Objective To study the distribution of Candida infection and drug tolerance in intensive care unit(ICU). Methods A retrospective study was conducted. The critical patients admitted from January 2011 to December 2013 in ICU of the First Hospital of Jiaxing in Zhejiang Province were enrolled,and their clinical data with positive Candida culture and drug susceptibility results in specimens of sputum,urine,blood,ascites,bile, etc were collected. In the study of these 3 years in ICU,the situation of Candida infection,the distribution of positive specimen,the condition of distribution of different strains of Candida,and the Candida tolerance to antifungal drugs were analyzed. Results From 2011 to 2013,2 412 times of patients(including one patient had admitted into ICU for more than one time)were admitted into ICU in which 407 cases were of Candida infection(16.9%),and the rate of Candida infection was rising gradually in the 3 years〔2011 to 2013 Candida positive rates were 13.4%(77/573), 16.1%(146/907),19.7%(184/932)〕,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.01). In the 407 strains of Candida,166 strains(40.8%)were isolated from sputum,157(38.6%)from urine,53 strains(13.0%)ascites, 13 strains(3.1%)blood,11 strains(2.7%)bile,7 strains(1.7%)from other specimens. The strain distribution of Candida was mainly as follows:Candida albicans(174 strains),Candida glabrata(131 strains),Candida tropicalis (83 strains),Candida parapailosis(5 strains),Candida krusei(12 strains),and 2 strains of rare Candida portugal and Lipolztica. From 2011 to 2013,the highest tolerance of Candida albicans,Candida glabrata,Candida tropicalis to fluconazole,itraconazole,Fushita Yasu and other antifungal drugs was in 2013,and the lowest was in 2012,the rates of tolerance of the above 3 strains of Candida to amphotericin B being 0,to itraconazole being the highest(10.9%, 27.8%,9.6%,respectively),to Fushita Yasu the secondary(6.6%,11.0%,0,respectively)and to fluconazole the last(4.7%,7.4%,1.9%,respectively),and the rates of tolerance of Candida parapsilosis,Candida krusei,Candida Portugal,Candida lipolztica to amphotericin B,fluconazole,itraconazole,Fushita Yasu were all 0. Conclusion In ICU,the Candida infection is mainly in the respiratory tract and urinary tract,its rate of infection has a tendency of rising,and the rate of Candida tolerance to itraconazole is the highest.

Objective To investigate the effects of ciyelosporine-A(CsA).a calcinenrin(CAN)inhibitor,on electrophysiological propertiesof atria in canine tachycardia-induced model of AF.Methods Eighteen healthy adult mongrel canines weighing 17.0 to 23.2 kg(rangedfrom 2 to 4 years old)were randomized to 3 groups,Sham group(no pacemaker was implanted),atrial tachypacing group(ATP group)each group at baseline and after 8 weeks' tachypacing.Measurements included atrial effective refractory period(AERP),conductionvelocity(CV),wave length(WE),atrial fibrillation load and rate-adaptability. Results After 8 weeks' atrial tachypacing,ATP andCsA groups showed significant longer duration of the P wave,shorter AERP,decreased adaptation of AERE slower CV,shorter Wland longer AF duration compared to the shamg roup (all P＜0.05).AERP of the CsA group was longer than that of ATP group (P＜0.05),but there were no differences in rate-adaptability,CV,incidence of induced AF and AF duration between CsA group and ATP group.Conclusions Our results suggest that calcineurin pathway intervention by CsA have a positive effect on tachycardia-inducedelectrical remodeling of atria,but can not prevent or reverse AF.

Objective To study the effect of ivabradine on hyperpolarization activated cation current in canine pulmonary vein(PY) sleeve cardiomyocytes with atrial fibrillation.Methods Dissociation of PVs yielded single cardiomyocytes from a Landengorff column without or with pacemaker activity from long-term rapidly atrial pacing (RAP) canines.If current was measured with the whole-cell patch-clamp technique.Results Compared with the control group,the rapidly atrial pacing canine PV cardiomyocytes had spontaneous diastolic depolarization and had larger If densities.Ivabradine (Iva,1 μM),a selective inhibitor of the If current,markedly reduced If currents in the RAP from -2.66±0.4 pA/pF to -1.58±0.1 pA/pF at the test potential of-120 mV (P＜0.01,n=12).Inhibition effect of Iva of If current showed concentration-dependent range from 0.1 to 10.0μM,with IC50 of 2.2 μ M ( 1.8-2.9 μM,95% CL).Furthermore,V1/ of steady-state activated curve was shifted from -84.3±4.9 mV to -106.9±3.4 mV and k value of steady-state activated curve was changed from 12.1+2.6 mV to 9.9±3.4 mV by the application of.1.0 μM Iva ( P＜0.01,n=12).Conclusions Our study revealed that Ivarbadine may significantly decrease If of rapidly atrial pacing pulmonary vein sleeve ceUs with atrial fibdllation.(J Geriatr Cardiol 2008;5:39-42)

Objective To investigate the early risk factors of the formation of pancreatic pseudocysts after severe acute pancreatitis. Methods One hundred patients with severe acute pancreatitis admitted from Jul. 2005 to Mar. 2007 were included. Clinical and laboratory data within 24 hours of admission and radiological tests of chest, abdominal dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography and abdominal ultrasound within 3 days after admission were analyzed and multiple stepwise logistic regression analysis was performed. Results 30 patients developed pancreatic pseudocysts and the incidence of pancreatic pseudocysts in the clinical course of severe acute pancreatitis was 30%. There were significant difference between group A (pancreatic pseudocyst group) and group B (non-pancreatic pseudocyst group) in serum albumin[(33.23±4.810g/L vs (36.07±4.92)g/L], CT severity index (CTSI) (3~6 vs 2~4 points) ,length of hospital stay[(26.83±19.760) day vs (14.51±7.71) days, (P<0.05)]. Meanwhile, there were no significant differences between the two groups in age, gender proportion, body temperature, heart rate, breath rate and mean arterial pressure in admission,urine volume within 24 hours, early defaecation within 24 hours after admission, blood routine, liver function, kidney function, electrolytes, blood cholesterol and triglycerol, PT, APTr, arterial blood gas analysis, blood amylase, C-reaction protein, APACHE Ⅱ, RANSON scoring, early ascites and pleural effusion. But multiple stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that the serum albumin and CTSI were associated with the formation of pancreatic pseudocysts after severe acute pancreatids. Conclusions The serum albumin and CTSI were the independent risk factors of the formation of pancreatic pseudocysts after severe acute pancreatitis.

Objective To investigate the molecular epidemiological characteristics and homology of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)isolated from patients in intensive care units (ICUs)of a hospital,so as to provide laboratory basis for the effective control of healthcare-associated infection(HAI). Methods 62 S. aureus strains isolated from various specimens from ICU patients with infection in March-August 2013 were collected,7 housekeeping genes were amplified with polymerase chain reaction (PCR),the amplified products were sequenced,ST typing of strains was performed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST ), phylogenetic analysis of ST typing was conducted. Results 62S. aureus strains were amplified specific product of 7 housekeeping genes;there were 10 ST genotypes, in which 2 ST genotypes(STn1and STn2)were first discovered,1 ST genotype(ST675)was first discovered domes-tically. ST239 was the main ST type of S. aureus from ICU patients in this hospital,accounting for 74.20% ,which distributed in 6 ICUs,ST5 distributed in 3 ICUs. 62 strains formed 7 main branches in the phylogenetic tree,55 (88.71% )MRSA strains were detected. Conclusion S. aureus isolated from hospital ICUs has some homology, and the small number of types showed the trend of concentrated distribution.
