Objective To discuss the value of ABCD2 score in predicting medium and long-term prognosis in patients with ischemic stroke.Methods 184 patients with ischemic stroke admitted to department of neurology from March 2014 to December 2014 were selected as the research object.According to the ABCD2 score points prior to admission, the patients were divided into 3 groups: 40 cases in the low risk group, 76 in the moderate group and 68 in the high risk group based on whether or to what extent he was able to do self care.The phone call reviews were made for the clinical symptoms of patients discharged from the hospital after six months..According to the modified Rankin scale classification standard, the patients discharged from the hospital after six months were divided into 2 groups: 126 cases in the self-care group and 56 cases in care-needing group.The groups were compared in terms of conditions.Results The self-care rate in the low risk group was 90.00%, the moderate group 77.63% and the high-risk group 45.59%.The care needing rates in the three groups was 5%, 19.74% and 48.53%, respectively.The care needing rate in the low risk group was obviously lower than that in the moderate-risk group and the high risk group (P<0.05).The care needing rate in the moderate risk group was obviously lower than that in the high risk group (P< 0.05).The self-care rates in the low risk group and the moderate group were higher than that in the high risk group (P<0.05).Conclusion The ABCD2 score has a higher predictive value for medium and long-term prognosis in patients with ischemic stroke.

Objective To investigate antibiotic resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli in old patients with lower respiratory tract infections. Methods Kirby Bauer agar diffusion method was used to evaluate the drug sensitivity in 240 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli isolated from patients with lower respiratory tract infection. Phenotypic confirmatory test recommended by NCCLS1999 was used to detect extended spectrum beta lactamases(ESBLs). Results The resistant rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli to 14 antibiotics in old patients and in non old patients with lower respiratory tract infections were amoxicillin 93 2% vs 87 3%, piperacillin 57 1% and 42 9%, cefuroxime 51 4% and 33 3%, cefotaxime 40 1% and 17 5%, ceftazidime 13 6% and 3 2%, ceftriaxone 39 0% and 17 5%, cefoperazone 37 3% and 15 9%, cefepime 10 2% and 3 2%, amikacin 47 5% and 34 9%, ciprofloxacin 54 2% and 38 1%, imipenem 0, cefoperazone/sulbactam 0, piperacillin/tazobactam 1 1% vs 0, and cefmetazole 9 6% and 4 8% respectively. Out of 240 clinical strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, 78(32 5%) were considered ESBLs producers by phenotypic confirmatory test. The prevalence of ESBLs in old patients was 38 4%, which was much higher than that in non old patients(15 9%). The resistant rate of ESBLs producing strains to imipinem, cefoperazone/sulbactam, piperacillin/tazobactam and cefmetazole was the lowest, being 0, 0, 2 6% and 12 8%. Conclusions The resistant rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli to most antibiotics and the prevalence of ESBLs in old patients with lower respiratory tract infection were higher than that in non old patients. Imipinem, cefoperazone/sulbactam, piperacillin/tazobactam and cefmetazole were the effective antibiotics to infections caused by ESBLs producing strains.

Objective To study the effect of neuropeptide on migration of epidermal stem cells in wound repair. Methods 90 new born rats (3～4d old) were randomly divided into three groups: SP group, capsaicin group, and normal group. BrdU labeling, combined with specific protein markers of epidermal stem cells, K19 and ?1 integrin, were used to identify epidermal stem cells. The migration of epidermal stem cells was observed in full thickness skin wound on back on 21 days after injury. Substance P was applied to the skin wound after injury in SP group. The status of migration of epidermal stem cells in SP group was compared with that in capsaicin group, in which capsaicin was injected to destroy sensory neuron before skin injury, and with normal group, in which the skin wound was not treated with any medication. Results Wounds of rats in SP group were healed 18 days after injury. It was shortened by three days compared with normal group. Only 25.54% of wound area was healed in capsaicin group on day 18. There were many epidermal stem cells in the edge of the wound and granulation tissue in Group SP. Only a small number of epidermal stem cells were seen in capsaicin group, where SP release was blocked by chemical destruction of sensory neurons, in the wound edge, but not in granulation tissue. The amount of epidermal stem cells as seen in the wound edge, but not in granulation tissue, in normal group was less than in the SP group but more than in capsaicin group. Conclusions SP obviously promotes wound healing and shortens the healing period. SP can induce epidermal stem cells to migrate into the skin wound edge and granulation tissue.
