中心静脉导管相关性血流感染的临床及病原学的回顾性调查分析

目的 了解重症监护室（ICU）中心静脉导管相关性血流感染（CRBSI）的感染率、危险因素、病原菌种类、耐药性及临床结局,对有效抗感染治疗及预防CRBSI的发生提供指导。方法 回顾性分析2010年4月~2014年4月共483例留置过中心静脉导管（CVC）的患者。计算感染率、感染相关性因素及筛选危险因素分析并应用SPSS20.0统计软件进行多因素Logistic回归分析。结果 共有17例患者发生CRBSI,感染率为3.5%;不同置管者、置管地点、置管部位构成的比较,差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）。经多因素Logistic回归分析,发现影响CRBSI的独立危险因素是抗生素大量使用和导管日,OR值分别为7.898和1.044。革兰阳性菌（gram-positive bacteria,G⁺）占35.3%,革兰阴性菌（gram-negative bacteria,G^-）占47.1%,真菌占17.6%;G⁺菌感染患者,经治疗后病情100% 好转;G^-菌感染患者,87.5% 好转,12.5% 恶化;真菌感染患者,66.7% 好转,33.3% 恶化。结论 CRBSI的发生率随抗生素大量使用以及导管日延长而增加。患者经治疗后,大部分好转,但真菌感染者病死率相对较高,应引起临床关注。     

倾向性评分匹配法评估手术联合术中放疗在肝癌治疗中的安全性及有效性

目的 倾向性评分匹配法（Propensity Score Matching,PSM）评估手术联合术中放疗治疗原发性肝癌的安全性及疗效。方法 收集2009~2012年于笔者医院肝胆外科行手术联合术中放疗（intraoperative electron radiotherapy,IOERT）的18例原发性肝癌（primary liver cancer,PLC）患者的临床资料,其中16例经术后病理证实为肝细胞癌（hepatocellular carcinoma,HCC）,2例为肝内胆管细胞癌（intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas,ICC）;采用倾向性评分匹配方法,按照1∶2比例从同期行单纯手术的原发性肝癌患者中筛选出36例做为对照组（32例HCC,4例ICC）,比较两组患者术中及术后并发症发生情况及HCC患者术后早期（2年内）复发率。结果 所有患者均获随访,随访率100%。两组患者术中出血量、术后3个月内肝功能、凝血功能、血常规及术后住院天数的比较,差异均无统计学意义（P>0.05）,仅在手术时长方面,联合IOERT组长于单纯手术组（P=0.000）。此外,联合IOERT组术后出现1例急性肾功能衰竭和1例胸腔积液,单纯手术组术后出现1例肝创面出血。在疗效方面,以两组48例HCC患者为研究对象,联合IOERT组的HCC患者为16例,其中6例在2年内复发,早期复发率为37.5%;单纯手术组的HCC患者为32例,20例在2年内复发,早期复发率为62.5%,两组早期复发率的比较,差异无统计学意义（P=0.101）。结论 手术联合术中放疗治疗原发性肝癌安全可行,尽管联合放疗组早期复发率低于单纯手术组,但差异并无统计学意义。     

三叉神经感觉根梳理术和半月节射频术治疗原发性三叉神经痛的临床疗效比较

目的 比较三叉神经感觉根梳理术和半月节射频术治疗原发性三叉神经痛的临床效果,揭示其临床意义。方法 对37例没有明显血管压迫的且行颅内段三叉神经感觉根梳理术治疗的原发性三叉神经痛患者（梳理术组）和37例行三叉神经半月节射频术治疗的原发性三叉神经痛患者（射频术组）进行3年随访,记录和比较两组患者术后疼痛治疗有效率、复发率和颜面部麻木发生率。结果 梳理术组和射频术组术后3年有效率分别为78.4%（29/37）和73.0%（27/37）,术后3年复发率分别是21.6%（8/37）和27.0%（10/37）,术后颜面部麻木发生率分别为91.9%（34/37）和100%（37/37）,组间比较差异均无统计学意义（P均>0.05）。结论 三叉神经感觉根梳理术和半月节射频术是治疗原发性三叉神经痛较为理想的手段,考虑到开颅手术的风险,三叉神经半月节射频术可能更合适于治疗没有明显血管压迫的原发性三叉神经痛老年患者。     

阿霉素性心肌病大鼠左心室肌纤维化程度与缝隙连接蛋白的变化

目的 探讨阿霉素性心肌病大鼠发生心律失常的发病机制。方法 健康wistar雄性大鼠20只,体重200g,适应周围环境1周后,随机将20只wistar雄性大鼠分为对照组（n=10）和阿霉素（ADR）组（n=10）。ADR组的大鼠在1周内进行3次腹腔注射ADR 2mg/kg;同时对照组则进行3次腹腔注射0.9%NaCl （2ml/kg）,停药后让两组大鼠自由饮食4周。7周后对两组大鼠行心脏彩超检测,左心室舒张末径（LVEDd）与左心室收缩末期内径（LVESd）及左心室射血分数（LVEF）,行VG染色观察各组大鼠心肌纤维化情况;扫描电镜染色观察左心室心肌细胞闰盘病理学变化;两组大鼠心肌结缔组织生长因子（CTGF）、转化生长因子β1（TGF-β1）、N型钙黏蛋白（N-cad）、桥粒芯糖蛋白（DSG2）表达应用ELISA法检测;采用Western blot法检测两组大鼠的心肌细胞Cx40 、Cx43、p-Cx43蛋白表达。结果 与对照组相比,阿霉素组大鼠明显出现心室重构,并易出现心律失常;电镜下观察ADR组大鼠心肌细胞闰盘破损严重,间隙增宽,VG染色显示ADR组大鼠病理积分明显高于对照组（P<0.05）;ADR组大鼠相较于对照组大鼠心室肌中CTGF、TGF-β1的表达升高显著,N-cad、DSG2、Cx40、Cx43及p-Cx43的表达明显减低（P<0.05）。结论 ADR组大鼠可能由于心室肌细胞纤维化、闰盘结构受损、缝隙连接重构等原因导致心律失常。     

BrdU标记法探讨糖尿病大鼠H2S与细胞外基质积聚的关系

目的 探讨硫化氢（hydrogen sulfide,H₂S）与糖尿病肾病（diabetic nephropathy,DN）大鼠肾细胞外基质过度积聚的关系。方法 21只SD大鼠随机分成正常对照组（对照组）、糖尿病肾病组（DN组）、硫化氢干预组（DN+H₂S组）。链脲佐菌素（STZ）法建立糖尿病大鼠模型,DN+H₂S组给予NaHS治疗8周,其他组给予同等剂量的0.9%生理盐水治疗。观察3组大鼠肾脏病理改变、BrdU阳性细胞和α平滑肌肌动蛋白（α-smooth muscle actin,α-SMA）分布差异。结果 与对照组比较,DN组大鼠尿蛋白量、相对肾重均明显增多,病理呈典型的DN改变,BrdU阳性细胞比值、肾小球α-SMA表达和分布显著增多（P<0.01）;应用NaHS治疗后,大鼠肾脏DN改变明显减轻（P<0.01）,BrdU阳性细胞比值、肾小球α-SMA表达和分布与正常对照组比较,差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）。结论 H₂S可以抑制DN大鼠肌性成纤维细胞增殖,减少α-SMA表达和分布,减缓DN大鼠的肾小球细胞外基质积聚。     

P16INK4A联合HPV L1壳蛋白检测在宫颈鳞状上皮内病变诊断中的应用

目的 初步探讨P16^INK4A联合HPV L1壳蛋白检测在宫颈鳞状上皮内病变诊断中的应用价值。方法 选择在温州市人民医院就诊患者,收集69例宫颈鳞状上皮内病变标本,行P16^INK4A、HPV L1壳蛋白检测,分析P16^INK4A、HPV L1壳蛋白及P16^INK4A联合HPV L1壳蛋白在各级宫颈病变中的表达差异。结果 P16^INK4A在LSIL组、HSIL组、SCC组中的阳性率分别为45.5%、85.2%、100.0%。同LSIL组比较,P16^INK4A在HSIL组及SCC组阳性率明显升高（P<0.01）。HPV L1壳蛋白在LSIL组、HSIL组、SCC组中的阳性率分别为63.6%、18.5%、0%,HPV L1壳蛋白在LSIL组中阳性率明显低于HSIL组及SCC组（P<0.01）。随着宫颈病变加重,P16+/L1-阳性率有升高趋势（P<0.01）,P16-/L1+阳性率有下降趋势（P<0.01）。LSIL组中P16+/L1-阳性率明显低于HSIL组和SCC组（P<0.01）,SCC组P16+/L1-阳性率较HSIL组有明显提高（P<0.05）。LSIL组中P16-/L1+阳性率明显低于HSIL组和SCC组（P<0.01）。P16+/L1-较P16^INK4、HPV L1壳蛋白单一检测筛查HSIL+特异性明显升高（P<0.01）。结论 P16^INK4A联合HPV L1壳蛋白有望成为诊断宫颈鳞状上皮内病变的有效指标。     

负压对四肢瘢痕切除创面成纤维细胞的生长环境影响

目的 探究持续封闭负压引流技术（VSD）对瘢痕切除创面成纤维细胞生长环境的影响。方法 回顾性分析2014年1月~2015年11月于笔者医院行植皮手术的四肢瘢痕切除术后患者60例,根据植皮手术前是否接受VSD治疗分为负压组（n=30）和包扎组（n=30）,负压组均于一期植皮前接受VSD治疗,包扎组未接受VSD治疗。回顾性分析对比两组患者并发症发生率、首次植皮存活率、创面感染率、住院时间之间的差异。并用TUNEL染色、CD34染色法对比瘢痕标本中成纤维细胞凋亡指数及血管生成情况。结果 负压组菌培养阳性率明显低于包扎组（P<0.05）,植皮存活率明显高于包扎组（P<0.05）。两组并发症发生率、住院时间、疼痛评分、随访VSS评分间比较,负压组均明显较低（P<0.05）。负压组成纤维细胞凋亡指数明显较低,微血管计数明显较高（P<0.05）。结论 负压封闭引流可以减轻瘢痕切除创面感染率,有效减轻炎性水肿,且可以通过改变局部血液循环微环境以及机械应力作用促进成纤维细胞增殖分裂,提高创面恢复效果。     

microRNA干扰抑制MTDH的表达对乳腺癌细胞MDA-MB-231增殖和侵袭能力的影响

目的 探讨microRNA干扰技术沉默异黏蛋白（MTDH,metadherin蛋白）基因表达及对人乳腺癌细胞MDA-MB-231细胞增殖、转移、侵袭能力的影响。方法 将人工合成的针对MTDH基因的miRNA片段瞬时转染人乳腺癌细胞MDA-MB-231,通过Western blot法、RT-PCR法检测MTDH蛋白表达和MTDHmRNA;应用MTT检测法、划痕实验、Transwell实验检测抑制MTDH基因后对乳腺癌细胞增殖、转移、侵袭能力的影响。结果 MTDHmiRNA能有效抑制MTDH蛋白和MTDHmRNA表达,最佳抑制率分别为79.41%、80.56%（P<0.05）;经miRNA干扰的细胞,生长速度明显受到抑制（P<0.05）,侵袭迁移能力显著下降（P<0.05）。结论 MTDH miRNA瞬时转染人乳腺癌MDA-MB-231细胞可明显抑制癌细胞中MTDH表达,沉默MTDH基因表达后可明显抑制人乳腺癌MDA-MB-231细胞生长增殖、侵袭迁移能力。     

瘢痕子宫患者采用药物终止早期妊娠的治疗效果观察

目的 探讨合并瘢痕子宫患者采用药物流产终止早期妊娠的治疗效果。方法 收集2014年1月~2015年12月新疆医科大学第二附属医院妇科合并瘢痕子宫患者早期妊娠采用药物流产的病例215例作为病例组,未合并瘢痕子宫者574例作为对照组,均给予相同剂量的米非司酮及米索前列醇进行药物流产,观察两组完全流产、不全流产、流产失败的概率,孕囊排出时间,阴道流血量及不良反应。结果 病例组药物流产成功率为87.4%,对照组的药物流产成功率为89.1%,二者差异无统计学意义;病例组在服用米索前列醇后孕囊排出时间平均为4.24h,对照组为2.57h,二者比较差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）;两组患者出血量均集中在50~80ml,其中病例组中阴道出血量>80ml占21.4%,对照组为13.3%,且二者比较差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）;两组均未发生严重的不良反应,主要为恶心、呕吐、腹泻等胃肠道反应,差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）。结论 合并瘢痕子宫患者采用药物流产术终止早期妊娠是可行的,但需密切观察患者服药后孕囊排出时间、阴道出血量及药物的不良反应。
