ABSTRACT
The morbidity and mortality of gastric cancer are very high in China. Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection plays an important role in gastric mucosa inflammation, atrophy and intestinal metaplasia. A large number of epidemiological researches have shown a positive correlation between Hp infection and morbidity of gastric cancer. The current infection rate of Hp in China is nearly 50%. Eradication of Hp may reduce the risk of gastric cancer and bring a better cost-effectiveness. However, screening and eradication of Hp had not been taken seriously in China. This article analyzed the effectiveness and affecting factors of screening and eradication of Hp for gastric cancer prevention from the health economics perspective view.
ABSTRACT
With the development of gene sequencing, there are growing concerns on the role of digestive tract microbiota in liver cirrhosis and its complications. Most studies focus on the application of change of gut microbiota, probiotics and antibiotic therapy in liver cirrhosis, however, studies on oral, gastric and duodenal microbiota in liver cirrhosis are rare. This article reviewed the roles of oral, gastric and duodenal microbiota in liver cirrhosis for providing some new ideas for the treatment of liver cirrhosis and its complications.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects ofbeta-endorphin (β-EP) and substance P (SP)with sedative and analgesic drugs on mechanical ventilated patients. Methods Twenty-eight mechanical ventilated patients were randomly divided into two groups: midazolam group (M group, 14 cases) and midazolam combined with fentanyl group (M + F group, 14 cases). Eight healthy persons were as control group (C group). The sedative target was VAS≤3 scores and Ramsay 2-4 scores. The levels of serum β -EP and SP were tested before sedation and 12, 24 h after sedation in mechanical ventilated patients and at 8 Am in C group. The sedation levels were evaluated and the hemodynamie and respiratory parameters were recorded before sedation and 1, 12, 24 h after sedation in mechanical ventilated patients. The oxygenation index was measured before sedation and 1,12, 24 h after sedation. Results The levels of serum β -EP and SP in M and M+F group were significantly higher than those in C group(P< 0.05). After sedation, the level of SP in M+F group [(101.42 ± 12.46) ng/L]was significantly lower than that in M group [(132.72 ± 23.82) ng/L] (P < 0.05). Compared with before sedation, there were significant differences in heart rate, VAS and Ramsay scores between M group and M+F group (P< 0.05). Compared with M group, pressure airway and respiratory rate at 12, 24 h and total after sedation were lower in M+F group (P <0.05). The amount of serum SP in mechanical ventilated patients. Fentanyl improves the ventilator synehron and reduces the dose of midazolam.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate pathogens and drug resistance of lower respiratory tract infection(LRTI)in Intensive Care Unit(ICU).Methods Retrospective study of the clinical data,the distribution and the drug-sensitivity of pathogens of 220 cases with LRTI in ICU.Results Totally 280 strains of pathogens were identified by bacterial culturing.The ratio of G-bacteria to total pathogens isolated was 63.5%,of the G+ bacteria was 25.1%,and of the fungi was 11.4%.The main kinds of the G-bacteria were Klebsiella pneumoniae(17.1%),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(13.2%),Acinetobacter baumannii(12.5%),and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia(10.4%).Staphylococcus aureus(SA)(91.4%)was the most prominent in G+ bacteria,and MRSA was 98.4% in SA.The result of drug sensitive test in vitro showed the multiple drug fast rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was comparatively high,Stenotrophomonas maltophilia to Levofloxacin was low,Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii were highly sensitive to carbapenems.The susceptibility rate of MRSA to vancomycin was 100%.Conclusion G-bacteria are the majority of the pathogens,isolated from patients with LRTI in ICU.Klebsiella pneumoniae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Acinetobacter baumannii,and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia are the chief G-pathogens.Except Stenotrophomonas maltophilia,imipenem and merpenem are relatively active against the G-bacilli.The proportion of MRSA and fungal infection is increasing.It is suggested that there be urgent need for surveillance of bacterial resistance and rational use of antimicrobial agents during clinical therapy.
