OBJECTIVE The status and risk factors of nosocomial infections in intensive care unit(ICU) were investigated to make the intervention strategy. METHODS Use prospective monitoring and retrospective investigation to analyze the 198 nosocomial infections patients. RESULTS The lower respiratory tract infection was the main infection in ICU,about 69.4%.The risk factors were old ages,long hospitalization time,the use of many antibiotics,severe underlying illness,invasive operation manipulation and so on. CONCLUSIONS General intervention strategy should be adopt in the control of ICU nosocomial infections to low the infection rate and raise the rate of rescue.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the time and dose relation of new urine bio markers in rat model of acute kidney injury induced by genta mycin (GM)to search for more sensitive,noninvasive and specific markers than traditional approaches to monitor nephrotoxicity.METHODS SD Rats were im treated with GM5,20,80 mg·kg -1 or saline once daily.Rats were randomly divided into 20 subgroups:treated for 1 ,3,7,14 d and 14 d followed with 28 d recovery period.Ten rats per group (5 rats per sex)were scarified at 24 h after the last dosing or the end of recovery period.Blood sa mples were col-lected for blood urea nitrogen (BUN)and creatinine(CRE)analysis.Urine was collected at each nec-ropsy for urine protein by dry che mistry method,for kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1 )analysis by ELISA, and for β2-microglobulin (β2-MG)analysis by ELISA.Kidneys were obtained for histological exa mination after HE stains.RESULTS Positive protein(3 +)was noted for several fe male animals treated for 7 or 14 d at 80 mg·kg -1 and the tendency of recovery were noted at the end of recovery period.Co mpared with those in saline control group treated for 7 d,the seru m BUN and CRE levels for fe males and the CRE level for males were significantly increased at 80 mg·kg -1 (P <0.05),and the BUN level showed the tendency of increase for males at 80 mg·kg -1 (P >0.05).When treated for 14 d,the seru m BUN and CRE levels for fe males and males at 80 mg·kg -1 and the seru m CRE level for fe males at 20 mg·kg -1 were significantly increased when compared with those in saline control group(P <0.05). The seru m BUN and CRE recovered to base line for all animals treated for 14 d followed by a 28 d recov-ery period.Histopathological observation of kidney tissues indicated that focal tubule dilatation was noted for animals treated for 3 d at 20 and 80 mg·kg -1 ,infla mmatory cell infiltration and focal tubule dilatation were noted at 20 mg·kg -1 and focal renal tubular epithelial cell degeneration,infla mmatory cell infiltra-tion,focal casts (lightly)were noted at 80 mg·kg -1 for animals treated for 7 or 14 d.For animals treated for 14 d followed by a 28 d recovery period,only basophilic tubules and renal casts were noted at 80 mg·kg -1 .New urine bio markers determination indicated that KIM-1 level was significantly increased at 20 and 80 mg·kg -1 for animals treated for 3,7 or 14 d when compared with that in saline control group (P<0.05).For animals treated for 14 d followed by a 28 d recovery period,the KIM-1 level was still significantly higher than saline control group for males and fe males at 80 mg·kg -1 and males at 20 mg·kg -1 (P <0.05 ),but there was evidence for reversal.The β2-MG level was significantly increased at 80 mg·kg -1 for animals treated for 3 d(P<0.05),at 20 or 80 mg·kg -1 for animals treated for 7 or 14 d(P<0.05 or P<0.01 ),when compared with that in the saline control group.For animals treated for 14 d followed by a 28 d recovery period,the β2-MG level was still significantly higher than saline control group for males and fe males at 80 mg·kg -1 and fe males at 20 mg·kg -1 (P <0.05),but there was also evidence for reversal.CONCLUSION Urine KIM-1 and β2-GM are more sensitive and specific markers for early diagnosis of kidney injury induced by GM when compared with the traditional approaches to monitor nephrotoxicity.

Objective To investigate the effect on the menstrual patterns and sexual quality of life of patients with adenomyosis after treated with Mirena IUD.Methods56 patients with adenomyosis who were treated with Mirena IUD were recruited from August 2009 to December 2009.We used Menstrual blood loss chart method,Dysmenorrhea score method and Brief Index of Sexual Function for Women (BISF-W) to evaluate the menstrual pattern,the volume of uterus and sexual quality after1,3,6,9,12 months.{Results53 patients were followed up,the rate was 94.6%.The condition of 56 patients became better after treated with Mirena for 3,6,9,12 months,dysmenorrhea[Placed before:(3.15±0.91)points;After placing:(1.41±0.51)points,(0.22±0.09)points,(0.07±0.01)points,0 points]and menstrual quantity[Placed before:(12.0±57.5)points;After placing:(71±23.1)points,(29±19.4)points,(18±10.5)points,(10±4.7)points]were both reduced(P＜0.05),the symptoms were not significantly improved after 1 month(P＞0.05).D2 indicators was significantly improved after 3 months of treatment (P＜0.05),sexual function was also improved after 6 months(P＜0.05～0.01).ConclusionsMirena IUD has a good effect on the menstrual pattern and sexual function for patients with adenomyosis.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of heat-sensitive moxibustion for vascular dementia and explore its mechanism. Methods: A total of 70 patients with vascular dementia were randomized into an observation group and a control group, with 35 cases in each group. The control group was treated with piracetam, and the observation group was treated with heat-sensitive moxibustion on the basis of the treatment of the control group. The treatment lasted for 8 weeks. Before and after the treatment, the mini-mental state examination (MMSE), activity of daily living (ADL) and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom scores were assessed, and the levels of acetyl choline (Ach) and homocysteine (Hcy) were measured. The efficacy was evaluated after treatment. Results: The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the MMSE and ADL scores in the observation group decreased significantly, and were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05); the TCM symptom score of the observation group decreased significantly (P<0.05), while that of the control group had no significant change (P>0.05); the plasma Ach level in the observation group increased significantly (P<0.05), and the Hcy level decreased significantly (P<0.05), which were statistically different from those in the control group (both P<0.05). Conclusion: Heat-sensitive moxibustion plus piracetam is effective in treating vascular dementia. It can significantly improve dementia symptoms and ADL, which may be related to the correction of plasma Ach and Hcy levels.

The Coat protein and Maturase gene of E.coli bacteriophage MS2 was amplified by PCR,then the gene was cloned into pET32a to construct the intermediate vector pET32aCP.The conservative sequence of FMDV internal ribosome entry site(IRES) was cloned into the downstream of pET32aCP bacteriophage gene to construct the prokaryotic expression vector pCPES.The recombinant plasmid pCPES transformed into E.coli strain BL21(DE3) was induced to express with 1mmol/L IPTG.The expression products were purified by sucrose density gradient centrifugation.The expression products observed by TEM were circular viruslike particles,and the diameter of these particles was about 26nm.The stability of viruslike particles was detected,and the viruslike particles was identified by RTPCR.The results showed that the viruslike particles contain the FMDV IRES RNA and have good stability.The viruslike particles have great prospect as the standard and quality control in the area of RNA virus detection.

Objective To observe the diurnal variation of intraocular pressure(IOP)measured with Goldmann applanation tonomoter(GAT)in patients with primary open angle glaucoma(POAG),normal tension glaucoma(NTG)and healthy controls,and to compare the differences of diurnal variation curves between two eyes of each subject and define the distribution of the peak of IOP. Design Prospective case series.Participants POAG patients,NTG patients and healthy controls.Methods The diurnal variation of IOP in the two eyes of each of 30 POAG patients,30 NTG patients and 30 normal controls were investigated and the distributions of the peak IOP were observed.Main Outcome Measure Intraocular pressure.Results Measured with GAT,6.7% right eyes and 10.0% left eyes of normal people,20.0% right eyes and 23.3% left eyes of NTG patients,and 23.3% right eyes and 20.0% left eyes of POAG patients showed peak IOP at the time points of out-office period.Conclusions POAG patients,NTG patients and normal controls have asymmetric IOP diurnal variation.The two eyes of one individual cannot always be treated as the same.The IOP peak can occur at the time point during the out-office time.Measure IOP in office-time only may miss the dynamic information of IOP.
