高糖饮食对小鼠真菌性角膜炎的影响

目的　探究高糖饮食对小鼠真菌性角膜炎的影响。方法　选取健康无眼疾的雄性C57BL/6J小鼠78只，随机分为高糖饮食组和模型对照组，每组36只，模型对照组给予正常饮用水，高糖饮食组给予含体积分数10%果糖溶液，每2 d测量两组小鼠体质量及血糖，10 d后建立真菌性角膜炎模型。造模后24 h、36 h、48 h、72 h、96 h、120 h、168 h裂隙灯显微镜下对角膜进行临床评分并拍照。处死小鼠后，取角膜组织进行HE染色和PAS染色；测定角膜内中性粒细胞和巨噬细胞浸润体积。利用酶联免疫吸附实验对小鼠角膜内的白细胞介素-1β含量进行测定。结果　造模后 0~14 d，两组小鼠体质量与血糖差异均无统计学意义（均为P>0.05）。造模后24 h、36 h、48 h、120 h、168 h，高糖饮食组小鼠角膜临床评分均明显高于模型对照组，差异均有统计学意义（均为P<0.05）。高糖饮食组小鼠角膜穿孔率79.5%，高于模型对照组的40.9%，差异有统计学意义（P=0.000）。造模后各时间点，高糖饮食组中性粒细胞浸润体积均高于模型对照组，差异均有统计学意义（均为P=0.000）。造模后72 h、96 h、120 h、168 h，高糖饮食组巨噬细胞浸润体积均高于模型对照组（均为P=0.000）。角膜组织病理学检查结果示，高糖饮食组炎症反应更重，角膜组织破坏更早且更为严重。造模后24 h、48 h高糖饮食组白细胞介素-1β含量均明显高于模型对照组（均为P<0.05）。结论　高糖饮食加重了真菌性角膜炎感染的严重程度，增强了中性粒细胞、巨噬细胞的趋化，促进了IL-1β的分泌。     

Increase in Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 3 associated parapneumonic pleural effusion/empyema after the introduction of PCV13 in Germany

IntroductionPediatric pneumococcal pneumonia complicated by parapneumonic pleural effusion/empyema (PPE/PE) remains a major concern despite general immunization with pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs).MethodsIn a nationwide pediatric hospital surveillance study in Germany we identified 584 children <18 years of age with bacteriologically confirmed PPE/PE from October 2010 to June 2018. Streptococcus pneumoniae was identified by culture and/or PCR of blood samples and/or pleural fluid and serotyped.ResultsS. pneumoniae was identified in 256 of 584 (43.8%) children by culture (n = 122) and/or PCR (n = 207). The following pneumococcal serotypes were detected in 114 children: serotype 3 (42.1%), 1 (25.4%), 7F (12.3%), 19A (7.9%), other PCV13 serotypes (4.4%) and non-PCV13 serotypes (7.9%). Between October 2010 and June 2014 serotype 1 (38.1%) and serotype 3 (25.4%) were most prevalent, whereas between July 2014 and June 2018 serotype 3 (62.7%) and non-PCV13 serotypes (15.7%) were dominant. Compared to children with other pneumococcal serotypes, children with serotype 3 associated PPE/PE were younger (median 3.2 years [IQR 2.1–4.3 years] vs. median 5.6 years [IQR 3.8–8.2 years]; p < 0.001) and more frequently admitted to intensive care (43 [89.6%] vs. 48 [73.8%]; p = 0.04). Seventy-six of 114 (66.7%) children with pneumococcal PPE/PE had been vaccinated with pneumococcal vaccines. Thirty-nine of 76 (51.3%) had received a vaccine covering the serotype detected. Thirty of these 39 breakthrough cases were age-appropriately vaccinated with PCV13 and considered vaccine failures, including 26 children with serotype 3, three children with serotype 19A and one child with serotype 1.ConclusionFollowing the introduction of PCV13 in general childhood vaccination we observed a strong emergence of serotype 3 associated PPE/PE in the German pediatric population, including a considerable number of younger children with serotype 3 vaccine breakthrough cases and failures. Future PCVs should not only cover newly emerging serotypes, but also include a more effective component against serotype 3.     

Clinical and microbiological profile of adult inpatients with community acquired pneumonia in Ilorin,North Central,Nigeria

BackgroundThe optimal management of community acquired pneumonia (CAP) depends on the clinical and microbiological profile in the locality.ObjectivesTo determine the clinical and microbiological profile of patients admitted with CAP in Ilorin, Nigeria.MethodsOne hundred and two consenting consecutively selected patients with clinical and radiologic confirmation of CAP were recruited in 12 months. The socio-demographic, physical examination and laboratory/radiologic parameters were documented in a questionnaire. Microbiological evaluation of their sputum was done and blood samples were taken for complete blood count, culture, serum urea and serological evaluation for atypical bacteria and some viral pathogens.ResultsCAP constituted 5.9% of the total medical admissions during the one-year study period. The mean age of the patients was 49 ± 22 years with the largest frequency in those aged 65 years and above. The commonest symptoms were shortness of breath (96.1%) and cough (94.1%), with a median duration of 3 days from symptom onset to admission. Systemic hypertension was the commonest comorbid illness (25/102; 24.5%). Klebsiella pneumoniae was the predominant pathogen isolated (20/102; 28.1%). The susceptible antibiotics were Imipenem, Ceftazidime and Ceftriaxone. Intra-hospital mortality was 17.6%. CURB – 65 score of ≥ 2 and the presence of complications of CAP were the independent predictors of mortality.ConclusionCAP constitutes a significant disease burden in Ilorin, Nigeria. Typical bacteria accounted for over half of the pathogens isolated from the patients with gram negative agents predominating. This highlights a possible shift in the microbiological profile which could guide empirical treatment.

浅谈职业病危害因素苯的识别与化学品安全说明书的关系

新型冠状病毒肺炎（新冠肺炎）对人民的生命健康造成了巨大的威胁。在新冠肺炎疫情下，如何应对肝胆外科肝癌患者的门诊筛查、病房管理以及安全地实施肝癌手术，都是对肝胆外科医师提出的新挑战。我们认为，该病的临床处置应在筛查新冠肺炎的前提下，遵循正规操作流程，做好充分防护。对于需要急诊治疗但无法排除新冠肺炎的肝癌患者，须综合考虑患者的病情严重程度、手术方式及手术室条件，慎重制定个体化治疗方案。整个诊疗过程必须遵从既保证患者的安全及疗效，又要降低医护人员感染风险的原则。
