Background: The nutritional status and coagulation function of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients are closely associated with their prognosis. This study aims to investigate the prognostic value of the albumin-to-fibrinogen ratio (AFR) on mortality in PD patients and to establish a prognostic prediction model based on AFR.
Methods: We retrospectively collected data from 148 PD patients treated at our hospital between Oct.
Background: Preoperative immune-inflammatory condition influencing the metabolism of malignancies. We sought to investigate the prognostic value of a novel immune-inflammatory metabolic marker, the monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR), in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 118 patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer and obstructive jaundice who underwent allogeneic vascular replacement pancreaticoduodenectomy in our hospital from Apr.
Background: To evaluate the effect of individualized education for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: A total of 280 patients (158 males, mean age 63 ± 10 years) with T2DM were randomly divided into study and control group. Eysenck Personality questionnaire was used to assess the personality of the patients in the study group, which was provided us one-on-one counseling and individualized management plan.
[Comparison of anorectal pressure after procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids versus Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation for grade III hemorrhoids].
Zhonghua Wei Chang Wai Ke Za Zhi
December 2013
Objective: To compare the long-term anorectal manometry of patients with grade III hemorrhoids treated by procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) or Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation (DGHAL).
Methods: A total of 114 patients with grade III hemorrhoids in our department in 2010 were prospectively enrolled, and divided into PPH group (63 cases) and DGHAL group (51 cases) according to patient preference. Patients received anorectal pressure examination 2, 6, 12, 18 months after operation, including rectal resting pressure, anal resting pressure, maximal anal contractive pressure and length of high-pressure band.
[The action of active efflux system on multi-drug resistance in methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus].
Zhonghua Jie He He Hu Xi Za Zhi
January 2007
Objective: To study the active efflux gene qacB, qacJ and smr in methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and to investigate their effect on the multi-drug resistance (MDR) of MRSA.
Methods: The three pairs of ideal primers of active efflux gene qacB, qacJ and smr were designed by computer with Primer Premier 5.0 software.
[A multicentre study on the pathogenic agents in 665 adult patients with community-acquired pneumonia in cities of China].

January 2006
Article Synopsis
- The study looked at causes of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in adults in China, focusing on how prior antibiotic use and PORT classification relate to the germs involved and the level of drug resistance.
- Pathogens were identified in 53.1% of patients studied, with Mycoplasma pneumoniae being the most common culprit, followed by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae.
- Findings highlight a significant presence of atypical pathogens in CAP cases, with over 75% of Streptococcus pneumoniae strains showing resistance to common antibiotics, signaling a need for better treatment strategies.
[A retrospective cohort study of the influence of time of hospital-acquired pneumonia onset on pathogen constitution].

February 2005
Objective: To study the influence of duration of hospitalization on etiologic agent and antibiotic-resistance of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP).
Methods: Cases of HAP were patients hospitalized in Fudan University Zhongshan Hospital, Ruijin Hospital, Beijing Hospital, Zhongshan University Affiliated Third Hospital, Guangzhou Medical College Affiliated Hospital and Guangdong People's Hospital. These patients were hospitalized from January 2001 to December 2003, and the diagnosis of HAP was made based on positive respiratory specimen cultures.
Objective: To study the therapeutic effect of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interleukin-12 (IL-12) with and without amphotericin B on pulmonary fungal infection of mice.
Methods: A mouse model of pulmonary invasive aspergillus fumigatus (IPA) infection was established and the mice were divided into different groups, treated with IL-2 and IL-12 with and without amphotericin B. The survival number of mice in 15 days and the colony count of lung tissue in the different groups were observed.
[Study of susceptibility and genotype characterization of plasmid-mediated class I cephalosporinase in gram-negative bacteria].
Zhonghua Jie He He Hu Xi Za Zhi
November 2003
Objective: To investigate the susceptibility and genotype characteristics of gram-negative bacteria producing plasmid-mediated class I cephalosporinase (AmpC beta lactamase) epidemic in Southern China.
Methods: A total of 1,187 clinical isolates of nonrepetive gram-negative bacteria were collected from different cities in Southern China. AmpC beta lactamase producing isolates were identified by cefoxitin three-dimensional test, and antimicrobial susceptibility test was identified by Kirby-Bauer agar diffusion test; plasmid conjugation, plasmid extraction, universal PCR for gene amplication of corresponding group was done, and the PCR products were sequenced subsequently.
Objective: To investigate the molecular mechanism of transferable multiple-antibiotic resistance in extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) producing isolates.
Methods: Antibiotics susceptibility was tested by E-test method, and multi-resistance plasmids were screened and isolated by extracting transformant plasmids. Inserted gene Cassettes of class 1 integron were amplified and analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing.
