Objective To describe the clinical features of patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in popular period and other period.Methods All the HFRS patients from epidemic areas in Xi' an were surveyed retrospectively.The sociodemographic data,symptom characteristics and laboratory test results were collected.Chi-square test,rank test were used to analyze the data.Results Totally 429 HFRS cases were recruited including 280 male (65.3％) and the male/female ratio was 1.9 ∶ 1.Adults with 16-60 years of age were the main group,which accounted for 74.8％ of the total cases.The constituent ratios of cases with 16-60 years of age in popular period and other period were 76.1％ (245/322) and 71.0％ (76/107),respectively; the sex ratios were 1.93∶1 and 1.74∶1,respectively; the time from fever onset to hospitalization was 3 d and 4 d,respectively; the time of hospitalization was both 10 d; the proportions of emergency cases were 59.8％ (189/316) and 67.6％ (71/105),respectively; the proportions of cured cases were 56.4％ (181/321) and 43.4％ (46/106),respectively.The clinical features were not significantly different between popular period and other period (all P＞0.05).The immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody positive rate was 85.4％ (315/369) and those in popular period and other period were 88.4％ (251/ 284) and 75.3％ (64/85),respectively (x2 =8.968,P＜0.01).There was a positive correlation between symptom severity and outcome of discharge (x2=18.558,P＜ 0.01),the more slight symptoms were related with the better outcome.Conclusion The clinical features are similar in cases from popular period and other period from Jan 2008 to Jun 2011.

Macrophages,as an important member of innate immune system,constitute a major component of the microenvironment of tumours,and play an important role in the occurrence and development of tumor.According to particular phenotypes and functions,macrophages can be divided into M1 macrophages and M2 macrophages.In the research of breast cancer,lung cancer,gynecological malignancies,researchers have found that tumor-associated macrophage has the similar phenotype and function of M2 macrophages.Tumor-associated macrophage can promote the formation of new blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in tumor tissue,thus contributing to the occurrence and development of tumor.The relation between tumor-associated macrophage and poor prognosis was also be found.The tumor microenvironment can affect the phenotype and function of macrophages,such as TGF,IL-10 and PGE-2.This paper reviewed the role and mechanism of macrophages in the tumorigenesis.

ObjectiveTo compare the clinical results of small surgical incision of bilateral spinous process and traditional open surgical incision in posterior single level lumbar interbody fusion,and assess the application value of the small surgical incision of bilateral spinous process in posterior single level lumbar interbody fusion.MethodsFrom December 2006 to June 2008,70 patients with lower lumbar vertebral diseases underwent single segment posterior lumbar interbody fusion.Patients were randomly divided into small surgical incision of bilateral spinous process group(Hereinafter referred to as small incision group) of 36 cases and 34 cases of conventional open group.Small incision group included 20 males and 16 females with an average age of 52.0 years.Traditional open group included 16 males and 18 females with an average age of 53.2 years.Two groups of operative time,blood loss,postoperative drainage,X-ray projection operation frequency,hospital stay,complication rate,creatine phosphokinase (CPK) level,multifidus cross-sectional area,postoperative low back pain visual analogue scale(VAS),Oswestry disability index(ODI),interbody fusion rate were compared,respectively.ResultsAll of 70 cases were followed up for 12-24 months (average,16).There were no statistically differences in the operation time,the number of X-ray projection,complication rate,and fusion rate between the two groups (P＞0.05),but there were significant differences in blood loss,postoperative drainage,the first day and the third day of postoperative the level of CPK,postoperative multifidus muscle cross-sectional area,postoperative low back pain VAS,hospital stay,and postoperative ODI between the two groups(P＜0.05).ConclusionSmall surgical incision of bilateral spinous process and traditional open surgical posterior lumbar interbody fusion were satisfied with the efficacy,but small surgical incision of bilateral spinous process with less trauma,shorter hospital stay,and rapid postoperative recovery.

Objective To investigate the influence of Zhuanggu granule on the concentration of IL-1β and TN-F-α in knee cavity of patients with knee degenerated osteoarthritis. Methods A total of eighty patients with knee degenerated osteoarthritis were recruited into a Zhuanggu granule group (30 cases), a Sulphuric acid Glucosamine group (15 cases) and a Sodium Hyaluronate group (15 cases) according to Doll grouping method. After all groups were treated for 4 weeks, the changes of concentration of IL-1β and TNF-α was detected before and after the therapy Results After the treatment, the concentration of IL-1β and TNF-α in Zhuangu granule group was significantly lower than the other two groups (Sodium Hyaluronate and sulphuric Glucosamine group). Conclusion Zhuangu Granule could influence the concentration of IL-1β and TNF-α in patients of knee degenerated osteoarthritis.

Objective To describe the vaccine inoculation rate of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and the movement characteristics of rural population in the Xi'an epidemic area.Methods This was a cross-sectional study.The study covered all the four HFRS traditional high incidence areas (counties):Zhouzhi,Huxian,Chang'an and Lintong.Three villages were selected in each county and 20 households were selected in each village in 2013.Participants included all the persons of these families.People 16-60 years old were interviewed face to face about their sociodemographic and environmental information,and at the same time related HFRS vaccine history and characters of migrant workers were collected.Results Nine hundred and ninety-six persons were investigated,69.3 percent (690/996) were vaccinate-age population.Of all,49.0 percent (338/690) had HFRS vaccine history and 53.9 percent (372/690) had worked away from home most of the year.The inoculation proportion of workers which worked in their own counties (56.8％,67/118) were higher than that of workers worked outside (37.0％,60/162;39.1％,36/92,x2 =10.74,6.44,all P ＜ 0.017).In the workers that went back home every week,60.3 percent (76/126) had vaccinated.Workers that went back home once a year had the lowest proportion of inoculation (16.7％,7/42).The morbidity of HFRS decreased significantly accompany with ascend of inoculation rate (Y =-0.524X + 38.319,t =-4.581,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions After the free vaccinations,there is still a gap between the vaccine inoculation rate and prevention benefit.The current vaccination strategies need to be adjusted.

Objective To study the developmental patterns and aging characteristics of anterior sacral foramina and posterior sacral forami-na in adolescents aging from 12 to 18 years old through CT imaging scanning and three-dimensional reconstruction measurement,and to provide the anatomical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of sacral vertebra diseases.Methods The 30 adolescents without any the problems of nerv-ous system were selected to conduct 64-slice spiral CT in the pelvic cavity.The original data were input into three-dimensional reconstruction software Mimics with the form of DICOM,and the relevant indicators were measured and analyzed.Results There was no significant difference in the height,width and distance of inner edge of anterior sacral foramina and the posterior sacral foramina in different gender and sides (P >0.05).The physical development of human increases gradually with age and there were significant differences.Conclusion There is a regular change process in the relevant indicators of anterior sacral foramina and posterior sacral foramina in adolescents.But the clinical appli-cation must be combined with the results of individual imaging,the technology of reverse engineering and the support of rapid prototype manu-facturing so as to meet the satisfactory results of individualized treatment.

Objective To study the protein levels of fibronectin (Fn) in the sinoatrial node tissues of hearts caused by electric shock death ,and to provide a new theoretical basis for the diagnosis of electric shock death and the identification of death time.MethodsUsing immunohistochemical technique(S-P method) to detect protein levels of 15 cases of human sinoatrial node following electrocution(human experimental group),15 cases of human sinoatrial node with severe traumatic cerebral injury(human control group),35 cases of rabbit sinoatrial node following electrocution(rabbit experimental group ,divided into7 groups according to different sampling time: 0 h ,1 h ,3 h ,6 h ,12 h,24 h.48 h),and 35 cases of rabbit sinoatrial node with broken neck executed(rabbit control group ,divided int0 7 groups according to different sampling time :0 h,1 h.3 h,6 h.12 h.24 h,48 h).ResultsFn positive expression rate in human experimental group was 100% while it was 6.67% in the human control group,and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.01 ).The Fn expression can be seen after electric shock immediately in the rabbit experimental group,and there was statistical difference compared with the rabbit control group (P < 0.05).Distribution of Fn expression became more and more widely after 3 hours t0 12 hours in the rabbit experimental group ,and there was significant difference compared with the rabbit control group(P < 0.01).The Fn expression began to decrease 24 hours after electrocution,ancl it still had statistical significance 48 hours after electrocution compared with the rabbit control group (P < 0.05).Conclusion Electric shocks significantly enhanced the expression of Fn protein levels in the sinoatrial node tissues , and optical density of Fn positive expression has a regularity change along with the extended time of death.These results could provide a theoretical reference basis for forensic diagnosis of electrocution and identification of death time.

Objective To investigate the effects of self-efficacy-oriented nursing intervention on postoperative quality of life of lung tumor patients. Methods Ninety patients with lung tumors undergoing chest surgery in our hospital from March 2010 to March 2012 , involved in the study. The nursing data were retrospectively analyzed for investigation of the nursing strategies. The patients were randomized into two group with random digits table in equal number: The control group received routine nursing and the intervention group with self-efficacy-oriented nursing intervention beside routine nursing care. 3 months after nursing intervention , the two groups were compared by Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) in terms of quality of life and psychological state. Results The scores of the intervention group by SDS and SAS were both significantly higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The scores of the intervention group on self efficacy and quality of life were significantly higher than those of the control (P < 0.05). Conclusion The self-efficacy-oriented nursing intervention applied in the postoperative nursing care to lung cancer patients can significantly improve the postoperative symptoms and psychological status. It can also improve their self efficacy and then enhance their quality of life.

Objective To investigate the antimicrobial resistance of clinical isolates in Tongling People′s Hospital during 2013. Methods A total of 2 281 nonduplicate clinical isolates were collected.Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method was employed to study the antimicrobial susceptibility.The data were analyzed with WHONET 5.6 software according to CLSI 2012 breakpoints. Results The top 5 most frequently isolated microorganisms were E.coli (479,21.0%),K.pneumoniae (360,15.8%),A. baumannii (271,11.9%),P .aeruginosa (240,10.5%),S.aureus (171,7.5%).Gram negative and gram positive microorganisms accounted for 76.5% and 23.5%,respectively.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in S.aureus (MRSA)and coagulase negative Staphylococcus (MRCNS)was 38.6% and 73.1%,respectively.The resistance rates of MR strains to beta-lactams and other antimicrobial agents were much higher than those of MS strains.No staphylococcal strain was found resistant to vancomycin or teicoplanin.E.faecalis showed relatively lower resistance to penicillin,ampicillin and nitrofurantoin.E.faecium strains were more resistant than E.faecalis to most of the antibiotics tested.Approximately 50.5% of E.coli and 44.5% of Klebsiella isolates produced extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs).The ESBLs-respectively.And 29.8% and 23.4% of the P .aeruginosa strains were resistant to imipenem and meropenem.Nearly all (94.0%)P .aeruginosa isolates were susceptible to amikacin.Conclusions There appears a trend of increasing resistance in the clinical bacterial isolates in this hospital,especially the carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae,which is of great concern.It is mandatory to take effective antibiotic policy and infection control measures.
