Prevention of peripherally inserted central catheter-related infections in very low-birthweight infants by using a central line bundle guideline with a standard checklist

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness and feasibility of using a central line bundle(CLB)guideline with a standard checklist in the prevention of peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC)-related infections(CRIs)in very low-birth-weight infants(VLBWIs).Methods:Fifty-seven VLBWIs who underwent PICC insertion at a hospital in Qingdao,China,between November 2012 and June 2013,were monitored with the CLB guideline and a standard checklist.Fifty-three VLBWIs who underwent PICC insertion were monitored by standard hospital procedures.The incidence of CRIs was compared between the two groups.Results:The incidence of infection significantly decreased from 10.0%catheter days in the control group to 2.2%catheter days in the study group(p<0.05).The indwelling catheter time significantly increased in the study group compared to the control group(31.9±15.0days vs.24.8±7.4 days,respectively,p<0.05).Colonization infections also decreased from 6.9% catheter days in the control group to 2.2%catheter days in the study group(p<0.05).The incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections decreased from 3.1%catheter days in the control group to 0%catheter days in the study group.Conclusion:The use of a CLB guideline with a standard checklist could be an effective and feasible protocol for preventing CRIs and prolonging indwelling catheter timein VLBWIs.

Let X be a non-primary Hopf Surface with Abelian fundamental group π1 （X）（≌） Z Zm, L a line bundle on X, we give a formula for computing the dimension of cohomology H^q（X,Ω^P（L）） and the explicit results for non-primary exceptional Hopf surface.

The Cohomology of Line Bundles on Non-primary Hopf Manifolds

The purpose of the present paper is to give an elementary method for the computation of the cohomology groups Hq（X,Ω^p X（L））, （0 ≤q ≤ n） of an n-dimensional non-primary Hopf manifold X with arbitrary fundamental group. We use the method of Zhou to generalize the results for primary Hopf manifolds and non-primary Hopf manifold with an Abelian fundamental group.

On multiply of sections of line bundles on compact Riemann surfaces

In this paper,we give some conditions on the surjective of multiply maps H^0(R,L)×H^0(R,K)→H^0(R,L(?)K).Here R is a compact Riemann surface,L a line bundle on R and K is the canonical line bundle.

On the Geometry of the Anti-canonical Bundle of the Bott–Samelson–Demazure–Hansen Varieties

Let G be a semi-simple simply connected algebraic group over the field C of complex numbers.Let T be a maximal torus of G,and let W be the Weyl group of G with respect to T.Let Z(w,i)be the Bott–Samelson–Demazure–Hansen variety corresponding to a tuple i associated to a reduced expression of an element w∈W.We prove that for the tuple i associated to any reduced expression of a minuscule Weyl group element w,the anti-canonical line bundle on Z(w,i)is globally generated.As consequence,we prove that Z(w,i)is weak Fano.Assume that G is a simple algebraic group whose type is different from A2.Let S={α1,...,αn}be the set of simple roots.Let w be such that support of w is equal to S.We prove that Z(w,i)is Fano for the tuple i associated to any reduced expression of w if and only if w is a Coxeter element and w^(−1)(Σ_(t=1)^(n)α_(t))∈−S.

Comparison of Morphological and Genetic Differentiations in Filial Generation of Cross Between Indica and Japonica Rice

A recombinant inbred line （RIL） population of F8 and F9 generations derived from a cross between a typical indica rice （Qishanzhan） and a typical japonica rice （Akihikari） was used to study the difference between morphological differentiation based on phenotype characters and genetic differentiation using indica and japonica specific SSR markers, and to evaluate the relationship between vascular bundle characters and morphological and genetic differentiations. The results showed that the frequency distributions of morphological and genetic differentiations were all inclined to japonica type in the filial generation. The population was more inclined to japonica type based on genetic differentiation than on morphological differentiation. The consistent degrees of classification based on the Cheng’s index, the ratio of large vascular bundle number to small vascular bundle number in panicle neck （RLSVB） and the ratio of large vascular bundle number in the second internode from the top to that in the panicle neck （RLVB） were all about 50% compared with the genetic differentiation, and the consistent degree of the total scores of the Cheng’s index combined with the vascular bundle number ratios was significantly increased to about 80% compared with the genetic differentiation. Therefore, the vascular bundle characters could be used as a helpful supplement for subspecies classification.

The geometry of the moduli space of one-dimensional sheaves

Let Md be the moduli space of stable sheaves on P2with Hilbert polynomial dm+1.In this paper,we determine the effective and the nef cone of the space Md by natural geometric divisors.Main idea is to use the wall-crossing on the space of Bridgeland stability conditions and to compute the intersection numbers of divisors with curves by using the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem.We also present the stable base locus decomposition of the space M6.As a byproduct,we obtain the Betti numbers of the moduli spaces,which confirm the prediction in physics.

Convergence of random zeros on complex manifolds

We show that the zeros of random sequences of Gaussian systems of polynomials of increasing degree almost surely converge to the expected limit distribution under very general hypotheses. In particular, the normalized distribution of zeros of systems of m polynomials of degree N, orthonormalized on a regular compact set K ? ? m , almost surely converge to the equilibrium measure on K as N → ∞.

Moment Maps and Equivariant Volumes

The study of the volume of big line bundles on a complex projective manifold M has been one of the main veins in the recent interest in the asymptotic properties of linear series. In this article, we consider an equivariant version of this problem, in the presence of a linear action of a reductive group on M.

The classification of (M, L) via the value morphism is given for the situations when r satisfies n - 5 < r < n - 4, or n - 6 < r < n - 5.

Remark on the Off-Diagonal Expansion of the Bergman Kernel on Compact Kähler Manifolds

In this short note,we compare our previous work on the off-diagonal expansion of the Bergman kernel and the preprint of Lu-Shiffman(arXiv:1301.2166).In particular,we note that the vanishing of the coefficient of p−1/2 is implicitly contained in Dai-Liu-Ma’s work(J.Differ.Geom.72(1),1-41,2006)and was explicitly stated in our book(Holomorphic Morse inequalities and Bergman kernels.Progress in Math.,vol.254,2007).
