3. Analyses of infection after liver transplantation in 113 patients
Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2013;48(14):1209-1212
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the prevalence of bacterial infection and drug sensitivity after liver transplantation so as to provide reference to effective clinical therapy. METHODS: A retrospective survey of 113 patients who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation was carried out. RESULTS: The reported total incidence of bacterial infection after liver transplantation was 45.1%, while the verified incidence was 28.3%. The major bacterials were Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterococcus faecom. Multidrug-resistant was observed. CONCLUSION: It is very important to prevent bacterial infection and use antibiotic rationaly. Selection of effective antibiotics according to etiologic data and resistance of bacterial can help prevent the occurance of drug resistant strains.

Objective To learn the current obstetric beds allocation,obstetric service delivery and access in midwifery institutions at various levels in the localities and nationwide as well as the trends,and assess the equity of obstetric beds allocation,for the purpose of recommending on a reasonable adjustment of obstetric beds allocation in these institutions.Methods Random sampling made in 44 cities in China for questionnaire survey on obstetric beds allocation,service delivery and utilization in 2008~2010 at all midwifery institutions in these cities.Interview of health administrators and medical workers at obstetric of midwifery institutions in 6 counties.Results Every thousand square kilometers in China average 5.9 midwifery institutions,and every thousand people average 0.24 obstetric beds.During 2008 ~ 2010,the number of beds and midwifery service delivery kept a growing trend while in townships obstetric service deliveries maintain a falling trend.The fairness index of maternity beds layout nationwide is 0.021283.Obstetric beds supply and demand ratio in different regions ranges among 0.97~ 1.41.The number of deliveries made in county level hospitals is 54.1%,but the beds in such hospitals account for but 48.1%.Conclusion The equity of obstetric beds allocation is good in terms of population layout.The quantity of obstetric beds meets the current needs nationwide,while the allocation of obstetric beds is less than reasonable among obstetric institutions of various levels in the country.The authors recommend a better control and adjustment of midwifery institutions layout,especially more such hospitals at the township level to meet the need of women delivery in hospital in remote areas.

Objective To observe expression of human beta-defensin-3 (HBD-3) in tissues around the infected artificial prostheses and investigate its value in treatment and diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI).Methods According to clinical diagnosis,periprosthetic tissues and normal synovial membrane excised in operation were collected and divided into the following four groups:PJI group (n =13),aseptic loosening group (loosening group,n =9),spacer treatment group (treatment group,n =12),and normal group (n =15).HE staining was used to observe infiltration of inflammatory cells.Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect positive cells number and fluorescence intensity.Image-pro plus (IPP) 7.0C software was used to measure the average value of absorbance.Preoperative peripheral white blood cell count,erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),and C-reactive protein (CRP) results were documented.Then,differences of those parameters were analyzed and compared among groups.Results HE staining revealed that all groups had different degree of inflammatory cell infiltration except for normal group.Immunofluorescence staining revealed that the most number of positive cells and highest fluorescence intensity existed in PJI group.Value of absorbance in PJI group was 0.430 ± 0.013,followed by 0.308 ±0.005 in loosening group,0.234 ± 0.009 in treatment group,and 0.089 ± 0.019 in normal group.Preoperative peripheral white blood cell count,ESR and CRP were the highest in PFI group,but were not significantly different among the remaining three groups.Conclusion HBD-3 is highly expressed in tissues around the prostheses which had infection or aseptic loosening,but its expression in response to infection and loosening has difference.

Objective:To investigate the influence of hepatocyte growth factor(HGF)on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor C(VEGF-C)and the mechanism of HGF-induced VEGF-C expression in tongue squamous cell carcinoma Tca8113 cells.Methods:Tca8113 cells were cultured and exposed to HGF with various concentrations.The expression level of VEGF-C was assessed by ELISA.Signaling transduction inhibitors LY294002,U0126,SP600125,SB203580 was used to block PI3K/Akt,P44 /P22MAPK,JNK,P38MAPK signaling pathways,respectively.Then,the expression level of VEGF-C was detected by ELISA.Re-sults:The VEGF-C expression of Tca8113 cells increased at the beginning and decreased later with the increase of HGF concentra-tion.When the concentration of HGF was 40 ng/ml,VEGF-C expression level was the highest.Inhibitor LY294002 of PI3K/Akt and Inhibitor U0126 of P44 /P22MAPK significantly blocked the effects on HGF-induced VEGF-C up-regulation(P <0.01 ).Inhibitor SP600125 of JNK and inhibitor SB203580 of P38MAPK didn't interfere HGF-induced VEGF-C expression(P >0.05).Conclusion:HGF contributed to the expression of VEGF-C,PI3K/Akt and P44 /P22MAPK signaling pathways may be involved in HGF-induced VEGF-C up-regulation,and may play potential roles in lymphatic metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective To design a chock-vault antenna for injurious interventional thermotherapy and to evaluate antenna performance change when structure parameters of the antenna are adjusted. Methods Finite element method was used to simulate the distributions of the reflection coefficient and the specific absorption rate (SAR) of the chock-vault antenna of different structure parameters for microwave thermotherapy human muscle tissue model when it worked at 2 450 MHz. The chock-vault antenna for injurious interventional thermotherapy had been optimized. Results This antenna was made.And the reflection coefficient and SAR were measured with human muscle tissue model experiment. The simulation results were validated. Conclusion The SAR distribution of the improved choke-vault antenna does not depend on depth of the insertion tissue. The reflection coefficient can be reduced greatly. The top energy distribution is reasonable.

AIM To study the targeted transfer and expression of human endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene-immunoliposome delivery system mediated by caveolin-1 antibody in hypercholesterolemic endothelial cells. METHODS Cultured ECV304 cells were divided into normal and hypercholesterolemic groups and transfected with control vector pcDNA3.1, cationic liposome-eNOS complex (lip-eNOS) or polylysine modified caveolin-1 antibody-cationic liposome-eNOS complex (Ab-lip-eNOS) respectively. The negative control group was also used. The experiments were made in triplicates. 48 h after transfection, the cellular eNOS mRNA was detected by RT-PCR, the eNOS activity assayed by NADPH-diaphorase staining and the generation of NO in medium determined by Griess method. RESULTS Ab-lip-eNOS and lip-eNOS could efficiently induce the expression of exogenous eNOS gene in endothelial cells cultured in normal or hypercholesterolemic condition, increase eNOS mRNA level, eNOS activity and NO content, which were significantly different from the endogenous eNOS gene expression of negative control and control vector groups (P
