Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of hospital infection and the pathogen type,distribution and drug resistance,in the intensive care unit of our hospital,to direct proper antibiotics use and supply the scientific basis for hospital infection control. Methods The clinical data of 392 inpatients in our intensive care unit from April 2008 to March 2010 were monitored prospectively and analyzed retrospectively. Results Of the 392 impatients,78 cases had hospital infection (19.89% 78/392),112 time-case infection (28.57% 112/392). The most common infection was the main respiratory tract infections accounted for 54.46% (61/112) ,followed by urinary tract infections accounted for 15. 19% ( 17/112 ), blood infection accounted for 11.61% (13/112). 152strains pathogens were identified in the study,in which G- bacilli accounted for 69.7%, G+ bacteria accounted for 17. 8% and fungi accounted for 12.5%. Main pathogens such as acinetobacter baumannii ,pseudomonas aeruginosa,klebsiella pneumoniae, staphylococcus aureus showed multiple drug resistance in different degrees. Conclusions Intensive care unit has a high nosocomial infection rate,lower respiratory tract infection is the most frequent type and the main pathogens have different degrees of multi-drug resistance. Standardized, rational use of antibiotics,prevention of the multi-drug resistant bacteria spread may help to reduce the occurrence of hospital infection in intensive care unit.

Objective To understand the nucleotide and amino acid differences of glycoprotein gene (G gene) between isolated rabies viruses in Henan Province and rabies vaccine strains used for human and animals. Methods G gene sequences of nine rabies viruses isolated from dogs in Xinyang city of Henan Province in December 2006 were amplified by reverse transcriptase (RT)-heminestedpolymerase chain reaction (PCR), and then were cloned and sequenced. The phylogenetic trees were constructed for analyzing the genetic characteristics of these rabies viruses. Results The homology of G gene among the nine isolates from Henan Province was 97.6% - 98.9% at nucleotide level and 99.2%-99.8% at amino acid level. The similarities between these isolates and CTN vaccine strain were 85.6%-93.0% and 91.9%-92.9% at nucleotide and amino acid level, respectively, which were higher than those between these isolates and other vaccine strains (80.4% - 83.3% and 87.7% - 92.5% at nucleotide and amino acid level, respectively). The nine isolates had several amino acid substitutions when compared to other genotype 1 rabies virus strains. Conclusions The nine rabies viruses strains isolated from Henan Province all belong to genotype 1. CTN may be an effective vaccine for preventing rabies in Henan Province.

Objective To sum up the clinical experience in diagnosis and treatment of spinal primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET). Methods Thirteen patients with spinal PNET were included in the study from 1999 to 2009. There were 8 males and 5 females with the mean age of 26.9 years. The lesions involved the cervical spine in 6 cases, the thoracic segment in 1 case, the lumbar segment in 5 cases and the sacrum in 1 case. The diagnosis of PNETs was made in nine patients by postoperative pathological examination. Among them, 6 patients received a preoperative CT-guided percutaneous biopsy. The other four patients were diagnosed only by CT-guided percutaneous biopsy. Osteolytic bony lesions and obvious neurological deficit were found in ten patients, while the other 3 had complained of local pain only. Nine patients had received operation followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The other 4 underwent only chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The changes of symptoms and time of survival were recorded. Results Eleven patients were followed up with the mean of 21.8 months. The back pain in 7 patients who underwent operation relieved one month after the operation. The bladder and bowel function returned to normal condition after the operation. Among them, four patients died postoperatively. The mean survival time was 11.3 months. The otherthree patients survived with an average of 36 months. Three patients who had only received chemotherapy and radiotherapy died with an average of 7 months, while the other patient survived for 5 months. Conclusion The diagnoses of spine PNET mainly depend on pathological examination. Percutaneous CT-guided biopsy is a reliable method to confirm diagnose of tumor before surgery. The mortality rate of spinal PNET which is a highly malignant tumor is high. Operation can relieve clinical symptoms and improve patients' life quality, but not prolong the survive time.

Objective To detect the expression of ARK5 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)tissue and hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells,and to investigate its effect on the growth of hepatoma cells.Methods The expression levels of ARK5 mRNA and protein were determined by RT-PCR and Western blotting in 30 cases of HCC tissue, paracarcinoma tissue,SMMC-7721 cells,and hepatic cells LO2.The SiRNA of ARK5 and negative control (NC) siRNA were constructed and transfected into the SMMC-7721 cells,and used as experimental group and negative control group;at the same time blank control group was set up. The proliferation activity and apoptotic rate of transfected cells were detected by MTT assay and flow cytometry (FCM).Results The PCR and Western blotting results showed that the expression levels of ARK5 mRNA and protein in HCC tissue and SMMC-7721 cells were significantly higher than those in paracarcinoma tissue and LO2 cells (P<0.05 ). The MTT assay results demonstrated that the inhibitory rates of growth of transfected cells in experimental group at 24,48 and 72 h were (19.39±5.42)%, (23.19±0.53)%,and (20.74±1.23)%;there were significant differences compared with blank control group and negative control group (P<0.01).The FCM results indicated that the apoptotic rate of the transfected cells in experimental group was (15.017±0.945)%,there were significant differences compared with blank control group (8.770%± 0.656 )% and negative control group (8.763%± 1.201%) (P<0.05 ). Conclusion The ARK5 expression level is significantly increased in HCC tissue and hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells;the inhibition of ARK5 expression could suppress the growth of hepatoma cells and induce apoptosis. So ARK5 maybe act as a cancer-promoting gene and induce hepatocellular carcinogenesis.

STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective clinical review. PURPOSE: To describe the incidence of cerebrospinal fluid leakage (CSFL) after thoracic decompression and examine the CSFL predisposing clinical factors. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE: CSFL is a common complication following thoracic decompression but has not been sufficiently addressed in former studies. METHODS: A cohort of 362 cases of thoracic decompression from February of 2005 to June of 2013 was examined. The case medical records were reviewed and the occurrence of CSFL and the related clinical parameters were noted. The incidence of CSFL for the entire cohort and each surgical approach were described. Besides, the relationship between CSFL and other clinical parameters were assessed, of which odds ratio values of all CSFL-associated parameters were calculated using multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: The incidence of CSFL for the entire cohort was 32.3%. Different surgical approaches had different incidences of CSFL, and circumferential decompression had the highest incidence. Though many different clinical parameters were related to the occurrences of CSFL, being older than 52 years, having ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament or having longer operative segments than 3 vertebrae were significant risk factors for CSFL (p <0.05). Besides, surgeries on the mid-thoracic spine had an increased risk of CSFL (p <0.05). CONCLUSIONS: From our analysis, CSFL was a common complication after thoracic decompression with the incidence of up to 32.3%. This study identified the predisposing clinical factors, and spinal surgeons should be aware of these risk factors to reduce its incidence.
