小儿医院感染率与医院感染平均暴露日实际意义的探讨

目的　提出医院感染平均暴露日的概念 ,并探讨其应用价值。方法　对小儿医院感染进行回顾性分析。结果　小儿医院感染率与住院天数成正相关 ,缩短住院天数主要通过减少暴露时间影响医院感染率 :医院感染率与医院感染天数无明显相关性 ,分组显示 ,住院时间长的医院感染天数较长 :小儿医院感染率明显低于同期成人 ,小儿医院感染平均暴露日短于成人。结论　医院感染平均暴露日是反映医院感染控制状况较好的指标之一 ,缩短平均住院日不宜作为提高医院感染控制质量的主要方法。     

夜来香根茎水提取液局部麻醉作用的研究

目的：研究夜来香(CN)根茎水提取液的局部麻醉作用及其作用机制。方法：采用蟾蜍离体坐骨神经动作电位法、豚鼠皮丘法、椎管麻醉法、表面麻醉法。结果：20％的CN水提取液对蟾蜍离体坐骨神经动作电位可完全消失，但较1％的普鲁卡因稍弱。豚鼠皮丘实验表明，20％CN提取液有浸润麻醉作用，其浸润麻醉效果与1％的普鲁卡因相似，而且盐酸肾上腺素可增强其麻醉强度和明显延长局麻作用时间；家兔椎管麻醉实验表明CN提取液有明显的椎管麻醉作用；CN提取液对家兔角膜也有一定的表麻作用，只是作用强度及持续时间比1％的普鲁卡因稍弱或稍短。结论：CN提取液有明显的局部麻醉作用。

目的研究原发性肝癌(PrimaryLiverCarcinoma,PLC)患者肝切除术前、后免疫细胞表型的变化。方法采用直接免疫荧光标记,流量血细胞计数法(FlowCytometry,FCM)检测方法,动态观察120例PLC患者肝切除术前后外周血T淋巴细胞亚群、NK细胞和HLA鄄DR含量变化。结果肝切除术前肝功能Child鄄PughB级、OGTTL型和术前施行肝动脉栓塞化疗患者外周血CD8+T细胞含量明显低于正常人组,CD4+/CD8+比值则较高(P<0郾05)。全部肝癌患者肝切除术前、后CD3+CD4+T细胞和NK细胞(CD3-CD16+CD56+)含量无明显差异。术后第1天、第3天、第7天和第2周外周血淋巴细胞CD3+CD8+含量明显低于肝切除术前和术后第3周(P<0.01);而CD4+/CD8+比值则显著高于肝切除术前和术后第3周(P<0郾01)。结论PLC合并肝硬变肝储备功能不足、术前肝动脉栓塞化疗和肝切除术可导致机体细胞免疫功能低下,PLC患者肝切除术前行肝动脉栓塞化疗的价值有待深入研究。     

Management of congenital tracheal stenosis

Objectives: Congenital tracheal stenosis is a rare disease. Various methods for treatment exist but there is still much debate as to the appropriate surgical procedure. We present our surgical experiences of patch tracheoplasty and slide tracheoplasty as viable methods for the treatment of congenital tracheal stenosis. Methods: From 1994 to 2002, 13 patients were diagnosed with congenital tracheal stenosis. Eight patients (7 symptomatic and 1 asymptomatic) had their stenosis corrected, three by means of pericardial patch tracheoplasty, four by slide tracheoplasty, and one by resection and anastomosis. Concomitant operations were performed on six patients to treat congenital cardiovascular disease. Five patients showing no significant symptoms did not undergo tracheal surgery and received only cardiac procedures. A retrospective review of the hospital course, complications, and long-term results was conducted. Results: Among the patch tracheoplasty group, every patient suffered from granulation tissue formation. One patient died of respiratory acidosis and one was hospitalized due to recurrent granulation tissue, which required frequent bronchoscopy. The third patient from this group is free of all symptoms. Among the slide tracheoplasty group, one patient died of anastomosis disruption. The three remaining patients are alive and well. The one patient who received resection and anastomosis is alive without symptoms. Conclusions: Surgical repair of long-segment congenital tracheal stenosis exhibited high mortality and morbidity rates. Every patient that underwent pericardial patch tracheoplasty suffered from troublesome granulation tissue. As slide tracheoplasty provided relatively good results in the short and mid-term follow-up periods, it seems to be a preferred method for the treatment of long-segment congenital tracheal stenosis.     

神经生长因子基因转染联合强化铁营养防治豚鼠爆震性聋的实验研究

Objective To study the protective effects of adenovirus-mediated human beta-nerve growth factor gene (hNGFβ) transfer combined with iron fortified nutrition on blast hearing damage in guinea pigs. Methods Deafness was induced by blast (172dB SPL) in 35 healthy guinea pigs. Seven days after noise exposure, 10 guinea pigs were inoculated with adenovirus-mediated hNGFβ (Ad-hNGFβ) into the perilymphatic space (the gene group), another 10 guinea pigs were given hNGFβ combined with iron fortified nutritional diet (the combination group), still another 10 guinea pigs were inoculated with artificial perilymphatic fluid (APF), and 5 guinea pigs served as control, given neither medicine nor noise exposure. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) threshold shifts were monitored in the guinea pigs before blast exposure and after gene transfer. Changes in cochlear morphology were examined with immunohistochemical and HE staining. Results One week after successful inoculation of hNGFβ, it was noted that Ad-hNGFβ protein was expressed in each turn of the cochlea, and its intensity was almost equal. After gene transfer in the combination group and the gene group, ABR threshold shifts at week 1 and 4 were significantly smaller than those of the APF group. HE staining showed that the number of the spiral ganglion cells in the combination group and the Ad-hNGFβ group was significantly higher than that of the control group after 4 weeks (P<0.01). Conclusions Ad-hNGFβ combined with iron fortified nutritional diet was effective in the prevention and treatment of blast hearing damage of cochlear hair cells.

改良后的家兔动脉深低温保存实验研究

目的：为探讨家兔动脉在改良的深低温保存后，其作为血管材料替代物的优越性。方法：无菌条件下取新鲜兔动脉，分别给予改良后的营养液经慢速深低温冷冻和快速深低温冷冻处理，6个月后异体和自体移植，12周后，取移植的血管组织，观测其组织活性，组织形态、血管通畅率。结果：改良的营养液保护的血管经慢冻法处理后与自体血管活性相近，经改良的营养液保护的血管，移植前后血管内膜的连续性，血管的组织结构良好；慢冻法处理的血管通畅率比速冻法处理的高，与自体移植组相当。结论：复方氨基酸可以替代传统冷冻保护液中的小牛血清用于血管的深低温保存，降低了该保存技术的成本；快速深低温冷冻保存的动脉血管活力移植效果不如慢速冷冻处理的异体动脉好。     

Factors Affecting Cardiac Catheterization Rates in Elders with Acute Coronary Syndromes

Background: Elder patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are less likely to receive cardiac catheterization. The reasons for this are unclear.
Objectives: To assess whether elder patients who had a documented history of dementia, lived in extended care facilities, or had do not intubate–do not resuscitate (DNR-DNI) advance directives were less likely to receive cardiac catheterization, despite having ACS with high-risk features.
Methods: This was a medical record review conducted at an urban teaching hospital. DNR-DNI status before hospitalization, extended care facility (nursing home or assisted living) residence, and a previous diagnosis of dementia were obtained from the medical record. Patients 65 years and older who presented to the emergency department with acute myocardial infarction or with unstable angina with ST segment deviation were included. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were performed, and odds ratios (ORs) were reported with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Results: Of the 201 eligible patients, 66 (32.8%) patients did not undergo cardiac catheterization. In the univariate analysis, patients who had dementia, resided in extended care facilities, or were DNR-DNI were less likely to receive cardiac catheterization. Only extended care facility residence (OR, 0.18; 95% CI = 0.04 to 0.83) and DNR-DNI status (OR, 0.19; 95% CI = 0.04 to 0.92) remained significantly associated with decreased cardiac catheterization in the multivariate analysis.
Conclusions: Elder patients with ACS residing in extended care facilities or who are DNR-DNI are less likely to receive cardiac catheterization. Future studies concerning the quality of ACS care for elders should take these variables into account.     

Comparison of Minimum Alveolar Concentration between Intravenous Isoflurane Lipid Emulsion and Inhaled Isoflurane in Dogs

Background: As in inhaled isoflurane anesthesia, when isoflurane lipid emulsion (ILE; 8%, vol/vol) is intravenously administered, the primary elimination route is through the lungs. This study was designed to determine the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) and the time course of washout of isoflurane for intravenously infused ILE by monitoring end-tidal isoflurane concentration.

Methods: Twelve healthy adult mongrel dogs were assigned randomly to an intravenous anesthesia group with 8% ILE or to an inhalation anesthesia group with isoflurane vapor. An up-and-down method and stimulation of tail clamping were used to determine MAC of 8% ILE by intravenous injection in the intravenous anesthesia group and MAC by the inhaled approach in the inhalation anesthesia group, respectively. Isoflurane concentration and partial pressure in end-tidal gas, femoral arterial blood, and jugular venous blood were measured simultaneously just before each tail clamping and during washout.

Results: The induction time in the intravenous anesthesia group (105 +/- 24 s) was shorter than that in the inhalation anesthesia group (378 +/- 102 s; P < 0.01). MAC of 8% ILE by intravenous injection (1.12 +/- 0.18%) was significantly less than MAC by the inhaled approach (1.38 +/- 0.16%; P < 0.05). No significant difference was found between the two groups in the time course of washout of isoflurane.     

β-淀粉样蛋白和C-反应蛋白与脑血管疾病的关系

目的研究人急性脑梗死（acute cerebral infarction，ACI）、脑出血（intracerebral hemorrhage，ICH）后血清β－淀粉样蛋白（β－amyloid protein，Aβ）和C-反应蛋白（C-reactive protein，CRP）的含量变化。探讨二者与脑血管疾病发病的可能机制。方法采集急性脑梗死、脑出血患者血清标本，应用放射免疫分析法检测Aβ，免疫比浊法测定CRP，同时与正常对照组比较。结果ACI组患者Aβ（1.39±0.27）mg／ml，CRP（7.67±2.21）mg／L；ICH组Aβ（1.32±0.19）mg／ml，CRP（8.35±2.25）mg／L；正常对照组Aβ（1.05±0.17）mg／ml，CRP（2.35±1.67）mg／L。脑血管疾病组均高于正常对照组，差异有统计学意义（P〈0.05）；且Aβ和CRP之间呈正相关关系（r=0.740，P〈0.01）。结论Aβ与CRP可能是脑血管疾病发病的共同危险因素，推测两因素参与脑血管损伤导致脑血管疾病。
