Reversible protein phosphorylation regulates multiple biochemical events. Mycobacterium tuberculosis phosphatases play important roles in regulating the pathogen physiology and interference of host signaling. They are also involved in the evasion of host immune response and blockage of the phagosome-lysosome fusion. Selective inhibition of phosphatase represents an ideal new avenue of anti-tuberculosis drug design. In this paper, we update the progresses about the regulation network of Mycobacterium tuberculosis phosphatases including MptpA, MptpB, MstP, SapM and their inhibitors. These serve as the basis for further antituberculosis drug target.

Nanomedicine offers great promise for early diagnosis and treatment of formidable diseases. The unique morphology and biology characteristics of bacteriophage provide unprecedented opportunity for such endeavor. The paper summarizes the application of bacteriophage in nanobiomaterials, nanomedicine, nanomedicine delivery and nanodiagnosis, especially the nano-imaging reagents and future direction concerning nanomedicine based on bacteriophage.

Bacterial communities usually develop biofilms abound in nature niche. The development of biofilm is a highly dynamic and complex process coordinated by multiple mechanisms, of which two-component system and quorum sensing are two well-defined systems. Biofilm is involved in the virulence of many pathogens. Therefore, targeting the key factors involved in the biofilm formation represents a novel and promising avenue for developing better antibiotics.

Objective To study the effects and clinical significance of tea pigment on 24 hour urinary endothelin(UET) excretion in patients with early stage diabetic nephropathy.Methods 65 cases of early stage diabetic nephropathy were randomly divided into expermental group and control group.Control group was treated by routine treatment and the expermental group was treated by tea pigment,in addition to routine treatment,and was orally given tea pigment capsule 0 24g three time daily,for 8 weeks.The amounts of 24 hours UET and urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER)in the two groups patients before and after treatment were measured using radioimmunoassay method.Results The amounts of 24 hour UET in patients with diabetic nephropathy were elevated significantly as compared with those in normal control group(P0 05).After 8 week's treatment,the amounts of 24 hour UET and UAER in expermental group were significantly lower than those of control group(P

Objective To analyze the related factors,and discuss the causes and prevention measures of pharyngocutaneous fistula caused by total laryngectomy.Methods The complete chnical data of 118 patients underwent laryngeal ancer surgery were analyzed retrospectively.Analyzed the relationship between pharyngocutaneous fistula and the factors of sex,age,pre-operative nutrition states,preoperative radiotherapy,prior tracheotomy,neck dissection,tumor position,clinical stage of tumor,patho-staging,post-operative infection comobidity with analysis of single factor.Results Among the 118 cases of laryngeal carcinoma,17 cases were pharyngocutaneous fistula after operation,the incidence was 14.4％ (17/118).According to the statistical analysis results,the predominant influencing factors in the causation of pharyngocutaneous fistula were:pre-operative nutrition states,pre-operative radiotherapy,clinical stage of tumor and post-operative infection.Concusion Pharyngocutaneous fistula after total laryngectomy is related to many factors,avoiding the above mentioned factors can reduce the rate of fistula and improve the life quality.

Objective To compare the efficacies between nasal packing and no nasal packing after endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic sinusitis,and explore the feasibility of no nasal packing after endoscopic sinus surgery.Methods Eighty-two type 1 or type 2 chronic sinusitis patients who received endoscopic sinus surgery under general anesthesia were divided into no nasal packing group (44 cases,75 sides) and nasal packing group (38 cases,65 sides) by random digits table method.The patients in 2 groups were taken preoperative anti-inflammatory and regulation blood pressure treatment.The volume of bleeding,postoperative pain (visual analogue score,VAS),degree of mucosal edema,efficacy and postoperative complications between 2 groups were compared.Results There were no statistical difference in volume of bleeding and efficacy between 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05).The postoperative VAS in no nasal packing group was significantly lower than that in nasal packing group [(2.46 ± 0.54) scores vs.(5.49 ± 1.26) scores],there was statistical difference (P＜ 0.01).There was no statistical difference in mucosal edema score postoperative 1 week and 6 months between 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05),but the mucosal edema score postoperative 1 month in no nasal packing group was significantly lower than that in nasal packing group [(1.32 ±0.63) scores vs.(3.52 ±0.72) scores],there was statistical difference (P ＜ 0.01).Postoperative comphcations in nasal packing group were significantly more than those in no packing group.Conclusion No nasal packing can be performed for type 1 or type 2 chronic sinusitis patients who has no significant bleeding after endoscopic sinus surgery under general anesthesia,it is actually beneficial of relieving distress of the patient and reducing postoperative complications.

Objective To investigate the changes of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty on the auditory function in adult patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).The possible mechanism of hypoxemia was analyzed,and hypercapnia might affect auditory function and the effect of operation to hearing was improved.Methods A total of 82 adult patients who were made a diagnosis by polysomnography (PSG) with severe OSAHS had been diagnosed by pure tone audiometry,tympa-nometry,auditory brainstem responses (ABR),and otoacoustic emissions (OAE) before and 6 months after surgical treatments.The control group included 43 non-snoring healthy people through the same line of the above test.Results (1)Among 82 patients who underwent uvulopalatopharyngoplasty,symptoms were resolved in 51 patients,significantly improved in 24 patients,and somewhat improved in7 patients at 6 months followed-up,yielding a total effective rate of 100％.(2)There were no significant differences in hearing threshold across 250 to 4 000 Hz on pure tone audiometry between OSAHS and control groups (P ＞ 0.05),although hearing thresholds at high frequencies showed significant differences (P ＜ 0.05).(3)The latencies of ABR waves Ⅰ and Ⅴ in the OSAHS group were significantly longer than control group (P ＜ 0.05).The interpeak lantency intervals of wave Ⅲ ～ Ⅴ in patients with OSAHS were longer than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).No significant difference was showed before and after surgery (P ＞ 0.05).(4)Distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) detection rate and amplitudes at all frequencies were poorer in OSAHS group before surgery compared with the control group (P ＜ 0.05),and significant changes were found after surgical treatments (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions OSAHS can impair auditory function,probably from chronic hypoxia,which can be improved by surgical treatment in adult patients with severe OSAHS.

New antibiotics with novel modes of action and structures are urgently needed to combat the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Bacterial signal peptidase I (SPase I) is an indispensable enzyme responsible for cleaving the signal peptide of preprotein to release the matured proteins. Increasing evidence suggests that SPase I plays a crucial role in bacterial pathogenesis by regulating the excretion of a variety of virulent factors, maturation of quorum sensing factor and the intrinsic resistance against beta-lactams. Recently, breakthrough has been achieved in the understanding of three-dimensional structure of SPase I as well as the mechanism of enzyme-inhibitors interaction. Three families of inhibitors are identified, i.e. signal peptide derivatives, beta-lactams and arylomycins. In this article, we summarize the recent advance in the study of structure, activity and structure-activity relationship of SPase I inhibitors.
