1.Treatment advances of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus associated clinical infections Yuan
Chinese Journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases 2016;9(4):299-306
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ( MRSA) is a common clinic pathogen for nosocomial infections, such as pneumonia, bloodstream infection, endocarditis, skin soft-tissue infection, and osteoarticular infection, which brings giant challenge for clinic treatment.Vancomycin remains an acceptable treatment option, but it needs to be adjusted by pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic ( PK/PD ) parameters.Lipoglycopeptides show excellent antimicrobial activity in vitro, but their long half-lives and complex PKs may preclude these agents being used in critically ill patients.Anti-MRSA cephalosporins were reported to be associated with the emergence of its antimicrobial resistance, so clinicians should be cautious when employing these kinds of antibiotics in clinical practice.So far, only linezolid has been proved with better performance than vancomycin for the treatment of hospital acquired pneumonia due to MRSA. Tedizolid, which is also categorized as Oxazolidinone, has higher bioavailability with lower rate of adverse events, but more investigation and validation are still needed for clinic application.Daptomycin displays similar performance with vancomycin on bloodstream infection due to MRSA, so it is recommended as the main drug for the treatment of MRSA associated bloodstream infection.Others such as quinupristin/dalfopristin and tigecycline are all lack of clinical evidence on the treatment of MRSA associated severe infections, so they are only considered when other anti-MRSA drugs showing inferior clinical effects. Rifampicin, Gentamicin, Fosfomycin, Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim and other drugs may be administered for combination therapy, but clinical evidence is still lacking.

To study the effects of MRF4 transfection on differentiation and expression of myogenic regulatory factors of human rhabdomyosarcoma RD cells, the plasmid-MRF4 cDNA was transfected into cultured rhabdomyosarcoma RD cells with lipofectin method. The myogenic regulatory factors MRF4 and MyoD mRNA were measured with in situ hybridization and the expressions of myosin heavy chain(MHC) and a-actin in the cells were assayed with immunocytochemical method. The cell growth and morphology were observed at the same time. It was found that the morphology of differentiation increased and the growth was suppressed in RD cells after transfection. The expression of MHC and a-actin were significantly increased in RD cells after transfection, while the expressions of MRF4 and MyoD mRNA were up-regulated. It is suggested that transfection of MRF4 can induce differentiation of RD cells and up-regulate the expression of MyoD.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize ultrasonic-assisted extraction technology of total flavonoids from Vaccinium uliginosum. METHODS:Based on single factor test,the ultrasonic-assisted extraction technology of total flavonoids from V. uliginosum was op-timized by orthogonal test,using the yield of total flavonoids as index,with ethanol volume fraction,solid-liquid ratio and ultrason-ic power as factors. The optimized technology was validated and compared with traditional ethanol reflux method(reflux extracting for 2 times,2 h each time). RESULTS:The optimal extraction technology was as follows as the solid-liquid ration of 1:25,70%ethanol,ultrasonic power of 250 W(40 min for ultrasonic time). In validation test,the yield of total flavonoids from V. uliginosum was 3.98%(RSD=0.41%,n=3),and the yield of total flavonoids was 2.25% by ethanol reflux method. CONCLUSIONS:The ultrasonic-assisted extraction is obviously superior to ethanol reflux method on extraction time and effects,and it is suitable for in-dustrialized production.
