OBJECTIVE:To investigate the influence of cephalosporins antibiotics on cost and length of hospital stay in pa-tients underwent gallbladder calculus resection,and to provide reference for drug use in clinic. METHODS:A total of 1866 patients underwent gallbladder calculus resection were collected from 9 third grade class A hospitals in Guangxi during 2013-2014. SPSS 22.0 software was adopted to analyze cost and length of hospital stay in patients underwent gallbladder calculus resection. RESULTS:Multi-factor analysis showed that the factors which significantly affected the cost and length of hospital stay were antibiotics,hospi-tals,age,surgery types and disease species (all P<0.01). The antibiotics were divided into the subset 1-4 according to the cost of hospital stay:the subset 1 only contained cefuroxime(9454 yuan);the subset 2 contained noncephalosporins(16199 yuan)and ce-fazolin pentahydrate(17241 yuan);the subset 3 contained ceftazidime(20716 yuan),other cephalosporins(21046 yuan)and cefo-taxime sulbactam(22724 yuan);subset 4 contained cefotaxime sulbactam(22724 yuan),cefoperazone sulbactam(23688 yuan), cefoxitin(24685 yuan)and cefodizime(24698 yuan). The antibiotics were also divided into the subset 1-4 according to the length of hospital stay:the subset 1 only contained noncephalosporins (7.61 d);the subset 2 contained cefuroxime (8.94 d) and cefazolin pentahydrate(9.78 d);the subset 3 contained cefoxitin(13.39 d),cefodizime(13.44 d),other cephalosporins(14.32 d)and ceftazi-dime(14.60 d);the subset 4 included cefoperazone sulbactam(16.03 d)and cefotaxime sulbactam(16.91 d). The higher the subset numbers,the higher the cost of hospital stay or the longer the length of hospital stay;there were statistical differences among differ-ent subsets (P<0.05),while there was no statistical difference among the same subsets (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Cephalospo-rins antibiotics can significantly influence the cost and length of hospital stay in patients underwent gallbladder calculus resec-tion. Antibiotics selection canbe considered comprehensively ac-cording to local medical resources and the patients'demands.

Background and purpose: Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors and poses a great threat to women's fitness. Monitoring its present status and variations over the past 3 decades could provide scientific basis for prevention and control strategies of cervical cancer in China. Methods: This study collected the mortality rates of cervical cancer data in Chinese women from 1987 to 2014, described the features and trends of age-standardized rates and truncated rates, and estimated the variations via joinpoint regression models. Results:The mortality rates of cervical cancer for rural women were roughly higher than those for urban women. It showed downward trends for both urban and rural women, and the average rate of decrease for rural women (AAPC=3.94％, P<0.01) was higher than that for urban women (AAPC=1.79％, P<0.01). The gap between urban and rural areas was narrowing, with urban rates exceeding rural rates after 2010. The mortality rates of cervical cancer increased with time for urban women aged from 30 to 54, decreased with time for the elderly urban women and all the rural women. Conclusion: The overall mortality rates of cervical cancer took a desirable turn in China over the past 3 decades, while the status for the middle-aged urban women was getting worse as well as the elderly in both urban and rural areas during the past 10 years.

Objective To investigate the effect of transplantation of CXC receptor 4 (CXCR4)gene-modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on repairment of carotid injure in rats.Methods BMSCs were cultured and transfected with lentivirus vector carrying CXCR4 gene to generate CXCR4 gene-modified BMSCs (CXCR4-BMSCs).CXCR4 expression was detected by Western blot.Rat model of carotid artery balloon injury was established.Rats were randomly divided into the PBS control group (n=12),CXCR4-BMSCs group (n=12) and BMSCs group (n=12).Two weeks after transplantation,the injured arteries were obtained.The homing of BMSCs was detected by immunofluorescence with green fluorescent protein (GFP).Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (CD31) expression was detected by immunofluorescence staining.At 4 weeks after transplantation,proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression was determined by immunohistochemical staining,and the vascular morphological changes were observed by hematoxylineosin staining (HE).Results Compared with the control and BMSCs groups,the protein level of CXCR4 was increased in CXCR4-BMSCs group (both P＜0.05).The percentage of GFP-positive cells homing were much more in CXCR4-BMSCs group than in BMSCs group [(58.8±4.4)％ vs.(36.2±5.0) ％,P＜0.05].The CD31 expression were higher in CXCR4-BMSCs group than in BMSCs group [(58.8±4.3)％ vs.(28.8±4.2)％,P＜0.05].Compared to the control group,the PCNA expression was decreased in CXCR4-BMSCs and BMSCs groups [(21.0±4.2) ％,(36.5±4.9) ％vs.(78.3±3.5) ％,both P＜0.05].There was a significant difference in PCNA expression between the CXCR4-BMSCsgroupandBMSCs group [(21.0±4.2)％vs.(36.5±4.9)％,P＜0.05].The neointimal area and the ratio of neointimal/medial area were decreased in CXCR4 BMSCs and BMSCs group as compared with the control group [(0.205±0.018) mm2,(0.323±0.071) mm2 vs.(0.536 ± ±0.054) mm2; (1.039±0.123),(1.660±0.404) vs.(2.460±0.328); all P＜0.05],and there were significant differences in neointimal area and the ratio of neointimal/medial area in CXCR4-BMSCs group and BMSCs group [[(0.205±0.018) mm2 vs.(0.323±0.071) mm2,(1.039±0.123)vs.(1.660±0.404),both P＜0.05].Conclusions CXCR4 gene-modified BMSCs may increase the CXCR4 expression in BMSCs.CXCR4-BMSCs transplantation is more effective than BMSCs transplantation in increasing BMSCs homing capacity,reducing the reendothelialization and vascular restenosis.

Objective To observe the effect of adenovirus- receptor activity modifying protein-1 (RAMP1) on nuclear factor(NF κB) and myocardial fibrosis in heart of rabbit with myocardial infarction. Methods Myocardial infarction (MI) models were developed in 54 rabbits and they were randomly divided into RAMP1 group,EGFP group and control group according to whether pAd2-EGFP-RAMP1,pAd2-EGFP or PBS was injected into infarction region and its border.At 7 d,14 d and 28 d after injection,Left ventricular function indices such as LVEF,LVSd,LVDd and LVFS were estimated by echocardiogram,the expression of NF-κB in myocardium was detected by Western blot,the plasma level of TNF-α was measured by ELISA,and fibrosis and collagen content was measured by Masson stain. Results At 7 d after adenovirus injection,the expression of RAMP1was significantly increased in RAMP1 group (67.33 ± 3.97)％ as compared to EGFP group(20.59 ±3.26) ％ and PBS group ( 23.80 ± 5.08) ％ ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The expression of NF κB was decreased in RAMP1 group ( 26.54 ± 5.13 ) ％ versus EGFP group (62.60 ± 6.18) ％ and PBS group (62.95 ±5.17)％ (P＜0.05).The plasma level of TNF-α was lower in RAMP1 group than in EGFP group and in PBS group at different time[7 d:( 136.74 ± 5.42) μg/L vs.( 196.97 ± 14.17) μg/L,(203.67 ±13.90)μg/L; 14 d:( 154.51 ± 13.61 )]μg/L vs.( 112.22±6.74 )μg/L,(160.46± 14.27)μg/L ;28 d;(51.10± 5.62)μg/L vs.( 95.55 ± 9.94 )μg/L,( 98.96 ± 12.68) μg/L,all P＜ 0.05].The collagen content was reduced in RAMP1 group as compared with EGFP group and PBS group at 14 d and 28 d [14 d:(7.10±0.98)％ vs.(19.52±2.32)％,(17.91±0.96)％ ;28 d:(17.04±2.44)vs,(34.10±5.59) ％,(33.98±4.33)％,all P＜0.01].At 28 d after infarction,the infarct size was decreased in RAMP1 group (26.54 ± 5.13) ％ compared with EGFP group (32.20 ± 3.73) ％ and control group (35.58±2.65) ％ (P＜0.01),and better heart function appeared in RAMP1 group. Conclusions The high-expression of RAMP1 could decrease the collagen deposition and fibrosis in the border of infarction and improve heart function through lower expression of NF-κB and decreasing the plasma level of TNF-α.
