OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of the bacteria encountered from the(clinical) infection,and provide reference for the rational use of agents in clinics.METHODS To culture the(specimens) from inpatient and outpatient clinic from Dec 2004 to Mar 2005,and perform the drug (sensitivity) test.RESULTS In 1584 isolated strains,the first four were coagulase negative Staphylococcus((15.6%),) Klebsiella(13.0%),Escherichia coli(10.0%),and Candida albicans(9.9%).The highest resistance of Gram(-negative) bacilli was to ampicillin(86.7%),then to cephalothin(79.5%),and mezlocillin(75.7%);G~-bacilli were(sensitive) to meropenem(2.3%),piperacillin/tazobactam(19.0%),and fosfomycin(29.1%).Gram~+ cocci had drug(resistance) to 18 antibacterials except vancomycin,MRSA was higher than MSSA;(Enterococcus) faecium showed poor sensitive rate to penicillin and erythromycin.CONCLUSIONS We should give more attantion to the Rules on Antibacterials in Clinical Application and use drugs reasonably.

Seven cases of benign bone tumors, a case of spinal fusion and. seven rases of un-united fractures of shafts of long bones, were treated with a.llogenir bone matrix gelatin (BMG) implants and were followed up for more than one year. All tumor cases were cured by osteo-induction from BMG, while only three of the seven fractures united. Two of the failures were reimplanted with BMG and failed again. Not a single case developed post-operative infection nor immunologic reaction. The BMG used was obtained from the same preparation, so that deterioration of its biological activity by endogenous protease was not likely. BMG small BMG cubes were used in tumor cases and slabs in fractures. The small cubes . were mixed with pieces of gel-foam and parked into the post-operative bony cavities while the slabs were arranged layer by layer at the fracture sites. This might be one of the reasons why the tumor rases had higher rate of cure Another reason was that non-unions needed prolonged, continuous and firm internal and external fixation post-operatively while the tumor cases needed not The amount of BMP calculated from BMG was not enough for early and solid osteogenesis. In the authors'opinion, with the use of new biomaterial, it should be followed by new method of application, but the principles of surgery should not be changed

Objective To investigate the effects of 17-β estradiol on hepatocyte apoptosis and the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in hepatic tissue after reduced-size ischemia reperfusion injury and its mechanism in liver protection.Methods A rat model of reduced-size hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury was established in 75 male Sprague-Dawley rats.They were randomly allocated into three groups:Sham group,ischemia-reperfusion(IR)group,and 17-β estradiol(E2 + IR)group.Liver functions,liver histology and hepatocellular apoptosis rates were observed after reperfusion.Hepatocellular ap optosis was determined by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)method and the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax were determined by Western blotting.Results The levels of ALT and AST were higher and peaked after 12 h of reperfusion in the IR group compared with the sham group.The histological changes in the liver of the IR group consisted of hepatocyte swelling,hepatic sinusoids narrowing,inflammatory cell infiltration and hepatocyte necrosis in some areas of the livers.The IR group also exhibited an increased rate of hepatocellular apoptosis at 12 h after reperfusion.The protein expression of Bcl-2 decreased while the expression of Bax increased.In the 17-β estradiol group,the levels of ALT and AST were lower,the pathological changes were milder and the rate of hepatocellular apoptosis was lower at 12 h in comparison to those of the IR group.The expression of Bcl-2 was higher and the expression of Bax was lower in the 17-β estradiol group in comparison to those of the IR group.Conclusions 17-β estradiol can relieve the hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury in rat livers.17-β estradiol may inhibit apoptosis in hepatic tissue by up regulating Bcl-2 and down-regulating Bax,thus producing a protective effect on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Objective To study improvement of cognitive function impairment of vascular dementia rats induced by a permanent bilateral ligation of common carotid arteries (2VO) after administration of leptin in brain. Methods Hippocampal neurons was isolated and cultured from SD rats. At oxygen-glucose deprivation condition, protection role of leptin on hippocampal neurons was observed and expression of leptin receptor was detected. Animal model of rats was established by 2VO. Pre-treatment VaD model of leptin was established by administration leptin into hippocampus region. The Morris water test was performed to detect difference in the cognitive function between VaD group and control group. Neuron apoptosis in hippocampus tissue were determined with TUNEL. Results Leptin receptor expression could be seen in hippocampal neurons. After oxygen-glucose deprivation cultured for 12 h , plenty of apoptotic cells were seen in hippocampal neurons, apoptosis rat was up to (72.96 ± 6.25) % , while apoptosis rate was (46.33 ±7.85)% and (23.58 ±5.08)% in 1 ( μg and 5μg leptin treatment group,respectively. Compared leptin treatment group with control group,difference had a statistical significance(P<0.01). Compared with untreated VaD group, latency time was shorter and average velocity was increased in leptin-treat-ment VaD group. Neuron apoptosis in hippocampus tissue of leptin-treated group were different significantly from those of untreated group (P < 0.01). Conclusion Leptin could protect hippocampal neurons from apoptosis in vitro. Cognitive function impairment could be improved by administration of leptin into brain in VaD rats.

Objective:To evaluate the physiological roles of bmp3,bmp4 and bmp7 during the formation of permanent tooth roots in dog. Methods:The expression of bmp3,bmp4 and bmp7 mRNA at different stages of the development of permanent tooth roots was examined by in situ hybridization in 3 dogs aged 12-18 weeks. Results:bmp3 was found in dental sac surrounding the germs at the early stage of tooth root development, and in cementoblasts and periodontal cells at the later stage. bmp4 was found in odontoblasts, dental papilla and osteoblasts. bmp7 positive signals was found only in epithelial cells of root sheath around cervical circulus at early stage, then located in cementoblasts and odontoblasts at later stage. Conclusion:The spatiotemporal expressions of bmp3,bmp4 and bmp7 are widely diverse, indicating that they participate in the regulation of tooth root development.

Eleven old male patients with hyperuricemia were collected ( hyperuricemia group,65-90 years old ).10 healthy middle-aged males ( middle-aged group,30-40 years old) and 10 healthy old males ( older group 60-70 years old ) with normal blood uric acid level were used as controls.All of the subjects were given low purine content diet ( 250 mg/d ) for 3 days followed by high purine content diet ( 800 mg/d ) consecutively for another three days.The samples of fasting blood and 24 h urine were collected for assay.The results showed that there were no significant changes of serum uric acid ( UA ) concentration in three groups after low purine content diet.But the levels of serum UA in three groups all increased significantly after high purine content diet,and the change was higher in hyperuricemia group than middle-aged group [ ( 507.7 ± 108.1 vs 378.9 ± 80.1 ) μmol/L,P＜0.05 ].24 h urine uric acid excretion in three groups was all significantly decreased after low purine content diet and increased after high purine content diet.After high purine content diet,24 h urine uric acid was lower in hyperuricemia group than middle-aged group [ ( 2.99 ± 1.21 vs 3.62 ± 1.02 ) mmol/24 h,P＜0.05 ].Blood urea nitrogen levels in all subjects decreased after low purine content diet and increased after high purine content diet ( P＜0.05 or P＜0.01 ).Creatinine clearance rate in hyperuricemia group was decreased after high purine content diet compared with baseline [ (75.3 ± 20.3 vs 80.7 ±20.0) ml/min ],and there were no significant changes in other groups after low and high purine content diet.24 h urine protein in hyperuricemia group was higher than middle-aged group ( P＜0.05 ),and increased after high purine content diet with significant difference ( P＜0.05 ).These results suggest that high purine content diet and decreased by renal uric acid clearance mainly contribute to hyperuricemia in old people.

Three dimensional electrical impedance tomography (3D-EIT) became an important branch of EIT recently. It is important to research imaging and image quality evaluation methods for single targets of different positions and multi-targets in 3D field. Using finite element subdivision method, 3D-EIT field was dispersed into cube unit in the present study for models with single target located in the center of field, middle of field, and near to the edge, respectively. For models with two targets and four targets near to the field edge, Tikhonov-Noser algorithm was adopted in image reconstruction. Imaging error function ER and structure similarity degree function SSIM were introduced to evaluate the reconstructed images. For the models with signal target, with the movement of the target from the center to the edge of the field, the value of ER increased and SSIM decreased, and reconstruction quality decreased. For the models with multi-targets near to the field edge, ER and SSIM increased and decreased respectively with the increase of target number, mage quality also decreased. Tikhonov-Noser algorithm is an effective 3D-EIT algorithm. ER and SSIM are adaptive for the characteristic of 3D-EIT images, and it can quantitatively evaluate the 3D-EIT imaging effect from the two perspective of imaging error and structure quality.
