Objective To evaluate the relationship between the severity of neonatal infection and the activity change of cardiac enzyme. Methods A total of 102 infectious neonates in NICU were evaluated with neonatal serious illness scoring system and then divided into non-critical, critical, and extremely-critical groups. The activity of such serum myocardial enzymes as AST, ALT, LDH, CK, and CKMB was tested in the first 24 hours on admission. Comparison between groups and analyses were conducted. Resultes Myocardial enzyme of the critical and extremely-critical groups was obviously higher than that of the non-critical group (Plt;0.01). Conclusion The serious illness score of infectious neonates is closely associated with the activity change of myocardial enzyme and the level of serum myocardial enzymes has certain advantages in judging the myocardial injury and the disease severity of neonatal infection.
Objective To summarize the effect of biofilm (BF) on the occurrence of prosthetic joint infection (PJI). Methods The domestic and abroad original l iterature in recent years about the relationship between BF and PJI was reviewed. Results Infection is a critical compl ication for prosthetic joint replacement. Basic research showes one of the reasons for PJI is BF. After adherence of the bacteria to the surface of prosthetic joint, BF forms through a series of regulation andcontrol system. And it lead to the occurrence of PJI. Recently a lot of progress have been made in the research fields of BF related PJI, which have covered aetiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Different studies show that BF has close relationship with PJI. Conclusion BF is proved to have close relationship with PJI. It is important on cl inical significances to diagnose, treat, and prevent PJI.

肝脏移植作为终末期肝病的治疗,自上个世纪80年代在欧美国家获得公认以来,已在世界各国得到迅速开展。我国自90年代后期以来,在全国掀起了第二个肝移植的热潮,迄今已完成1 000余例肝移植,在围手术期处理、手术技术、介入放射、移植免疫、抗感染治疗等各个方面均获得丰富的经验,我国肝移植的效果及长期生存率亦逐步赶上国际先进水平。总的来讲,适合进行肝移植的病种可分为良性及恶性肝病,鉴于恶性肝病行肝移植后复发率高,长期生存率低,因而其作为肝移植的指征长期以来存在争议,而良性终末期肝病则是肝移植的主要指征。我院自1999年2月以来连续施行肝移植114例,其中良性肝病为69例,占60.5%。本文仅针对良性肝病肝移植的一些特点谈谈我们的经验和体会。
Infectious and infection-related optic neuritis is an important type of optic neuritis. Infectious optic neuritis is caused by direct spread of pathogenic organism to optic nerve from local infection or blood transmission. Infection-related optic neuritis is caused by pathogens-induced immune allergic reaction. They present with atypical clinical features of optic neuritis, including progressive vision loss, persistent eye pain or headache, ineffectiveness or even worse of glucocorticoid therapy. Fundus manifestations include optic disc swelling with peripapillary hemorrhage or neuro-retinitis, and the feature of concurrent uveitis. When these patients first visit ophthalmic clinics, they often lack signs of systemic infection, thus it is easy to misdiagnose them as other types of optic neuropathy and mistakenly treat them. In particular, high-dose glucocorticoid therapy can lead to very serious consequences. Therefore, how to correctly diagnose infectious and infection-related optic neuritis in the early stages are very important for ophthalmologists and need to be seriously kept in our mind.
Abstract: Objective To introduce the early experience of using vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) in the treatment of wound dehiscence after thoracic and cardiovascular surgery. Methods This report retrospective1y analyzed the clinical data of 12 patients who underwent VAC in the treatment of wound dehiscence after thoracic and cardiovascular surgery in the Affiliated Hospital of the Logistics University of CAPF between October 2010 and October 2011. There were 7 male patients and 5 female patients with their mean age of 64.3 years (ranging from 39 to 80 years). All patients underwent operation via median sternotomy or lateral thoracic incision. All the wound dehiscence was deep to sternum or rib. After debridement of necrotic tissue, the wound surfaces were covered with VAC sponges, and intermittent negative pressure therapy was used. The VAC sponges were changed every 7-10 days. Results All the patients underwent an average of 2 times to change the VAC sponges during VAC treatment. After VAC treatment, the edema around the surgical wounds gradually disappeared, and the granulation tissue was refreshed. The overall conditions of all the patients were improved. The patients could leave their bed, walk in the ward, and look after themselves. Antibiotic treatment was no longer used. The residents checked up the negative pressure system every day to see whether it worked well. The patients were no longer afraid of changing dressing and pain every day. All the patients were healed, discharged from the hospital and followed up at outpatient department for a mean time of 7 months. Their wounds all healed well during follow-up. Conclusion VACsystem is easy to use. It can facilitate the healing of wound dehiscence quickly, decrease the inflammatory reaction of local wound and the body, and shorten the rehabilitation time. It’s also helpful to reduce the residents’ work load. It is recommended in the treatment of wound dehiscence after thoracic and cardiovascular surgery.
