ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of pathogens causing blood stream infection in patients with pancreatic neoplasms.Methods:Clinical data of patients with pancreatic neoplasms complicated with bloodstream infection with confirmed pathological evidence admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from January 2016 to June 2019 were collected. Bacteria were isolated from blood culture, and microbial sensitivity tests were analyzed by minimum inhibitory concentration and Kirby-Bauer methods. The distribution and drug resistance of pathogens causing blood stream infection in patients with pancreatic neoplasms were analyzed.Results:There were 116 cases (8.5%) with bloodstream infection in 1 372 patients with pancreatic neoplasms. A total of 156 bacterial strains were isolated from blood culture, of which 127 strains (81.4%) were gram negative aerobic bacteria, mainly including Escherichia coli (42 strains), Klebsiella pneumoniae (34 strains), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (12 strains), and 25 strains (16.0%) were gram positive aerobic bacteria, mainly including Enterococcus faecium (11 strains), Enterococcus faecalis (3 strains), Streptococcus angina (3 strains). 4 strains (2.6%) were anaerobic bacteria. The results of antibiotic susceptibility showed that the resistance rate of Escherichia coli to ampicillin was 90.5%, and to cefoperazone-sulbactam was 2.4%. The resistance rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae to piperacillin was 20.6%, and to cefoperazone-sulbactam was 5.9%. The resistance rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to imipenem was 41.7%, and no resistant strain was found to cefoperazone-sulbactam. The resistance rate of Enterococcus and Streptococcus pharyngitis to erythromycin were 85.7% and 33.3%, and no strains were resistant to vancomycin.Conclusions:The rate of blood stream infection in patients with pancreatic neoplasms was relatively high. In clinical practice, the distribution of pathogenic bacteria should be understood, the drug resistance should be monitored and antibiotics should be reasonably used, in order to maximally prevent and interfere with the occurrence of blood stream infection.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the predictive value of high frequency ultrasound and contrast-enhanced imaging features in predicting cervical lymph node metastasis of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC).Methods:A retrospective analysis of 184 patients with PTMC confirmed by surgery and pathology in the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from March 2015 to December 2018 was performed. According to the presence or absence of lymph node metastasis, the patients were divided into metastasis group and non-metastasis group. Univariate analysis was used to compare the features of high frequency ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the two groups, and multivariate regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors of cervical lymph node metastasis, and their prediction value was analyzed with ROC curves.Results:Among 184 patients, 50 (27.2%) had lymph node metastasis. Univariate analysis showed that age (χ 2=10.026) , number of nodules (χ 2=10.497) , calcification (χ 2=17.414) , aspect ratio (χ 2=4.564) , nodule location (χ 2=20.542) , enhancement time (χ 2=7.882) , enhancement mode (χ 2=6.416) and enhancement intensity (χ 2=9.899) were significantly associated with cervical lymph mode metastasis (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that age<45 years old ( OR=2.626, 95 %CI:1.141-6.052) , multifocal lesions ( OR=3.648, 95 %CI:1.542-8.631) , microcalcification ( OR=2.925, 95 %CI:1.055-8.115) and equal/high enhancement ( OR=8.042, 95 %CI: 1.879-34.429) were independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis ( P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of above indicators combined was 0.762. Conclusions:High frequency ultrasonography combined with contrast-enhanced imaging can provide useful information for predicting cervical lymph node metastasis of PTMC. For PTMC patients aged<45 years with multifocal lesions, microcalcification and equal/high enhancement, the risk of cervical lymph node metastasis is significantly increased.

ABSTRACT

Objective To summarize the experience of organ donation after citizen' s death during the novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) epidemic. Methods Eleven cases of potential donors of organ donation after citizen' s death during the COVID-19 epidemic were retrospectively analyzed, and the workflow and key points of infectionprevention and control were summarized. Results Among 11 cases of potential donors, 6 cases failed to implement organ donation. Five donors who were successfully performed organ donation had no respiratory symptoms before the onset of encephalopathy. CT scan of the lungs upon the onset of encephalopathy showed that one case was diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia, and the remaining four cases obtained negative results. During hospitalization, all of the 5 donors showed fever symptom and repeated chest CT scan detected lung inflammation. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid or blood samples tested for novel coronavirus nucleic acids were all negative. No confirmed or suspected cases appeared among all staff and recipients who were in close contact with organ donors. Conclusions Targeted formulation of the workflow and prevention and control measures, in combination with selection and implementation of infection risk classification can effectivelyreduce the risk of COVID-19 infection and carry out organ donation after citizen' s death in a safe and organized manner.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the association between the preterm birth and low birth weight and parental thalassemia.@*Methods@#Pregnant women and their husbands receiving prenatal examination in local hospitals or maternal and child health centers in Jingxi and Debao in Guangxi from January to December 2017 were selected as study subjects. A total of 758 pregnant women with pregnancy outcomes and their husbands, who were both or alone diagnosed with thalassemia through thalassemia gene detection, were selected as case group and 758 pregnant women with pregnancy outcomes and their husbands, who were negative in thalassemia gene detection and hemoglobin electrophoresis test were selected as control groups. The case group were further divided into mother group, father group and both mother and farther group. Clinical and pregnancy outcome data of the study subjects were collected for the analysis on the association between parental thalassaemia and preterm birth or low birth weight by the independent sample t test, χ2 test and Cox regression analysis.@*Results@#The incidence of preterm birth in case group and control group was about 6.5% and 1.6% and the incidence of low birth weight in case group and control group was about 7.3% and 0.8%. After adjusting for possible confounding factors, Cox regression analysis results showed that mother suffering from thalassemia (aRR=3.45, 95%CI: 1.35-8.81, P=0.010), fathers suffering from thalassemia (aRR=4.93, 95%CI: 2.16-11.21, P<0.001) and both mother and farther suffering from thalassemia (aRR=5.13, 95%CI: 2.62-10.04, P<0.001) were associated with preterm birth. Mother suffering from thalassemia (aRR=12.98, 95%CI: 4.91-34.30, P<0.001), fathers suffering from thalassemia (aRR=9.40, 95%CI: 3.40-25.95, P<0.001) and both mother and farther suffering from thalassemia (aRR=10.74, 95%CI: 4.44-26.00, P<0.001) were associated with low birth weight. The newborn whose parent all suffered from thalassemia had higher risks for preterm birth (χ2=22.72, P<0.001)and low birth weight (χ2=34.03, P<0.001) compared with those only with mother or father suffering from thalassemia.@*Conclusion@#Parental thalassaemia, including both sides and single side, might increase the risks of preterm birth and low birth weight for newborn, and the risks might be higher in newborn with both mother and father suffering from thalassaemia.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the roles of RU486 inhibiting 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes differentiation and regulating NF-κB activation. Methods Cells were treated with RU486 with concentrations of 0.1 ~ 10μmol/L for 48 h , then the relative contents of triglyceride were analyzed by Oil-Red O staining assay on 9 th day during adipogenesis. The mRNA expressions of PPARγ2,C/EBPa, LPL and FAS were further measured by Real-time PCR. IκBα protein level was detected by Western bolt and nuclear translocation of NF-κB was observed by immunofluorescence assay. Results The relative contents of triglyceride decreased with the increasing of RU486 concentration. Compared with the control, the relative contents of triglyceride in RU486-treatment groups from 0.5 μmol/L were significantly decreased (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Compared with the control, PPARγ2, C/EBPa, LPL and FAS mRNA expression and IκBα protein level were significantly decreased (P < 0.01) and NF-κB nuclear translocated from cytoplasm to nucleus in Group 5 mmol/L RU486. Conclusions RU486 could down regulate IκBα protein level , activate NF-κB nuclear translocation , then down regulate PPARγ2 , C/EBPa , LPL and FAS mRNA expression and inhibit adipocytes differentiation.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the diagnosis, treatment and long-term outcome of late acute rejection (LAR) following adult orthotropic liver transplantation (OLT).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 398 consecutive adult patients who underwent OLT in Organ Transplant Center, the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University between January 2007 and December 2012 were reviewed retrospectively. There were 48 patients (12. 1%) developed to LAR, including 43 male patients and 5 female patients, with an average age of (52 ± 13) years(18 - 70 years). The mean body mass index was (22.1 ± 4. 5) kg/m2 (15. 4 - 30. 4 kg/m2). The indications of the liver transplantation recipients included 16 cases of end-staged liver cirrhosis after hepatitis B or C(33. 3%), 14 cases with severe hepatitis (29. 2%), 9 cases of primary liver cancer(18. 5%), 5 cases of alcoholic liver cirrhosis (10. 4%), 1 case with autoimmune liver disease (2. 1%) , the other 3 cases (6. 3%). They were followed up by outpatient service, telephone and other means. Survival curves were generated with the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards modeling was used for predictors of mortality. Statistically significant variables found by single factor regression analysis were put into the Cox proportional hazards regression model of multivariate analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The time-to-event was 23. 6 months after OLT which were more common in the first year to the third year post-transplant (26/48,52. 4%). Thirty-five cases were assessed as mild, 11 cases were assessed as moderate, and 2 cases were assessed as severe ,based on the Banff schema. After adjustment to the immunosuppressive regimen, the overall recovery rate reached to 81. 3%. The rate of steroid-resistant acute rejection was 11. 8% (4/34). Inadequate immunosuppression and steroid pulsation were two independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of LAR (P = 0. 008, P = 0. 003, respectively).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>LAR is an uncommon complication after OLT. Inadequate immunosuppression and steroid pulsation are the major risk factors for prognosis of LAR. Improving patient compliance and strengthening blood concentration surveillance can increase the patient survival.</p>

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To assess the effect of celecoxib in combination with adriamycin(ADM) on cell proliferation and apoptosis.@*METHODS@#Cell lines were treated with celecoxib,and cell proliferation was examined by the method of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT) at different time. The cellular apoptotic rate was analyzed by flow cytometry. RT-PCR was applied to distinguish the level of caspase-9 mRNA expression. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the caspase-9 protein expression in Raji cells.@*RESULTS@#Celecoxib inhibited the proliferation and increased the apoptosis of Raji cell lines in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner within 20-100 μmol/L. Compared with the celecoxib alone, the proliferation of Raji cell lines incubated with celecoxib and adriamycin was decreased. Caspase-9 mRNA and protein expression in Raji cells were significantly enhanced after the treatment of celecoxib (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Celecoxib can inhibit the proliferation of Raji cells in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. Celecoxib may lead to the apoptosis of Raji cells by up-regulating activities of caspase-9. Adriamycin could intensify the effect.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To determine the effect of arsenic trioxide combined with adriamycin(ADM) on the proliferation and apoptosis of human lymphoma cells.@*METHODS@#Raji cells were divided into an experimental group and a control group, and the experimental group was further divided into 1 micromol/L As(2)O(3) group,2 micromol/L As(2)O(3) group, ADM group,1 micromol/L As(2)O(3) and ADM group,2 micromol/L As(2)O(3) and ADM group. Human lymphoma cells Raji were treated with As(2)O(3) combined with ADM. Wright-Giemsa dying assay was used to observe the apoptosis morphology of lymphoma cells. The proliferation of the cells treated with As(2)O(3) and adriamycin was detected by the method of 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT). Flow cytometry(FCM) was used to detect the apoptosis rate of lymphoma and the fluorescene density in the lymphocytes. Effect of arsenic trioxide and adriamycin on the mutant p53 expression in Raji cells was detected by semi-quantitive RT-PCR.@*RESULTS@#Evident apoptotic morphological changes of Raji cells were observed 24 hours after treatment with As(2)O(3) or ADM. Compared with As(2)O(3) or ADM alone, As(2)O(3) combined with ADM could increase the inhibition ratio significantly (P0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#As(2)O(3) and ADM alone or combined can inhibit the proliferation, induce cell apoptosis, and downregulate the expression of mutant p53 in vitro. As(2)O(3) combined with ADM has synergistic anti-lymphoma cell effect in vitro. As(2)O(3) has no significant effect on the concentration of ADM on the Raji cells, but can enhance the chemosensitivity of Raji cells, and its mechanism may be that it can downregulate the expression of mutant p53.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: With the development of China, quality of life (QOL) is getting more and more attention, however, there are few studies on QOL, especially in Mainland China.OBJECTIVE: To observe the situation of combinative application of Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and QOL assessment in rehabilitation clinical practice.DESIGN: Case analysis.SETTING: Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 83 rehabilitation patients selected from Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital from January to December 2003,consenting to take part in the study, were divided into 4 groups: bone & joint rehabilitation(n=42), stroke rehabilitation (n=17), internal medicine (n=15), and cancer rehabilitation (n=9).METHODS: Every patient carried out functional independence assessment and quality of life measurement within 24 hours of admission. FIM was adopted for functional independence assessment which included 13 items of motor (ranged from 13 to 91 points) and 5 items of cognition (ranged from 5to 35 points), and FAQ for quality of life included making telephone call,self-care economy, shopping, using vehicle, housework, jobs, entertainment,etc. with 100 in total. The author performed all the assessment.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Every patient carried out FIM and FAQ assessment after admission and discharge.RESULTS: All data of totally 83 patients entered the final analysis. [1]The average age and length of hospital stay in stroke group were higher than those in other groups (P < 0.01). [2] FIM motor and cognitive scores in stroke group were higher at discharge than those at admission (5.276,3.624;6.200,5.941,P < 0.01), but scores of functional activity were lower at discharge than those at admission (1.253, 1.547, P < 0.01). [3]In bone joint group, the FIM cognitive scores were coincidence in general, while motor scores were higher at discharge than those at admission (6.220,5.388, P < 0.01), but scores of functional activity were lower at discharge than those at admission (0.610, 0.912, P < 0.01). [4] Only scores of functional activity in tumor group were lower at discharge than those at admission (0.722, 0.989, P < 0.05). [5] All items in internal medicine group were coincidence in general (P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: FAQ is more sensitive than FIM in rehabilitation practice, but cannot replace FIM, and should be used with FIM.
