Information of Congress

Title of the Congress :	The 2th Conference in Bacteriology(CBA 2014)
Title of your Abstract :	Survey of relationship between serum Procalcitonin and bacterial infectious diseases in cirrhotic patients
country :	China
From :	Friday, November 28, 2014
To :	Sunday, November 30, 2014
Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) :	Abstract: Procalcitonin is prohormone of calcitonin, made of 116 amino acids. procalcitonin (PCT) is a marker being studied to investigate its accuracy for the diagnosis of bacterial infections. The aim of this study was to survey PCT levels in cirrhotic patients and to compare with healthy people. Sixty-four patients with hepatic cirrhosis and 32 healthy blood donors as control group were enrolled in this study. Age and gender distribution was similar between patient and healthy controls. Blood samples were collected from patients who complained of dyspeptic symptoms on admission. Serum PCT levels was detected using immunoluminometric assay. The rate of positive PCT was higher in patients with hepatitis C cirrhosis (92.8%) than the other groups. Among the other cirrhotic patients, positive PCT levels were 77% for hepatitis B, 70% for cancer and 53.3% for unknown groups respectively. None of the alcoholic patients were PCT positive. Serum procalcitonin levels were significantly higher in cirrhotic patients with bacterial infection (2.65±1.11 ng/ml) than those without infection were (0.59±0.16 ng/ml, P=0.0001), whereas they were within normal range (<0.5 ng/ml) in all patients without infection, irrespective to the cause of cirrhosis. Significant difference was found in PCT levels between infected cirrhotic patients and control group (2.65±1.11 vs. 0.58 ±0.15 ng/ml respectively, P=0.0001). Also significant difference between PCT levels of cirrhotic patients with other Hepatitis origin was found (P<0.001).Liver profile of the study population indicates a significant rise in serum levels of ALT and AST. Also albumin and total protein levels are lower in patients as compared to healthy controls. The rate of positive PCT was highest among patients with cirrhosis of hepatitis C origin. This can be associated with an increased risk of sepsis and sepsis-related mortality. Liver profiles of the study population indicate a significant rise in serum levels of ALT and AST. In addition, albumin and total protein levels are lower in patients as compared to healthy controls, but the difference is statistically not significant. The application of assays for PCT could guide monitoring infections, treatment and reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.

Delegates from which countries presented in the congress? :	in our conference(Bacteriology), delegates from china,singapour, england, bangladesh, jepan, souria, south africa, namibia and egypt had presentation.
Were the delegates of any other organizations present in the congress? :	No
If yes, please write the names of the organizations in the box :
What were the responses to your talking points? Were specific questions or concerns raised? :	my lecture was about relationship between PCT and infectious diseases in Chirrhotic patients and in the conference was only presentation about this matter so some people have had questions about that and I answer them.
If you met staff members, please list their full names & positions. :	I met Prof.Masaaki Minami from Nagoya University,Prof. Saiful Islam from Agricultural University in Bangladesh and Dr. Ahmad Cheikhyoussef from University of Namibia
Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress :	the conference was about different branches in basic sciences and health care such as bacteriology, rehabilitation, psycology and optoelectronics, computational mechanics,laser and optoelectronics. we can used their experiences in our conferences in Iran and we can invited some of the participants speakers for present their researches.
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) :	I took the Visa and tichets from travel agency in Tehran.
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: :	the conference and lectures was divided to 7 sessins in different sciences and different rooms and this is very good idea for presentations. in regular conferences usually many researches about different branches of sciences were present but some of them is useful for anybody so we see in conferences some people leave the room between the lectures.in this conference lectures and researches were divided to 7 parts and were presented in 7 rooms and all participitants in each room have the same experiences.
