Objectives: To reveal the morphological features of the stratum corneum lipids in hairless mouse epidermis. Methods: Ruthenium tetroxide and osmium tetroxide were compared as post fixative in the preparation of hairless epidermis for transmission electron microscopic examination. Results: Both reagents reveled characteristic membrane coating granules within the granular layer. Whereas, the transformation of the membrane coating granule contents into multiple lamellae at the interface between the granular and cornified layers and the persistence of these lamellae through all levels of the stratum corneum were demonstrated only by ruthenium tetroxide fixation. Conclusions: The distinctive patterning of the intercellular lamellae reflects the nonrandom organization of the stratum corneum lipids. In addition, the ruthenium tetroxide postfixation technique is a useful method in the investigation of the morphological features of the stratum corneum lipids.

Abstract: Objective To investigate the molecular characteristics and drug resistance of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) isolated from wounds of paatients with orthopedic trauma, and analyze the molecular subtyping, virulence genes and drug resistance of SA in wounds of patients, so as to provide reference for the prevention and treatment of wound SA infection in patients. Methods From January 2020 to June 2022, a total of 128 SA isolates were collected from wound specimens of orthopedic trauma patients at Wuxi 9th People's Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) were differentiated using PCR. Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST), staphylococcal protein A (spa), staphylococcal chromatoidal cassette mec (SCCmec), and accessory gene regulator (agr) typing were performed to determine the molecular typing and presence of virulence genes and drug resistance profiles. Results Among the 128 SA isolates, 76 (59.38%) were MRSA and 52 (40.62%) were MSSA. MRSA typing showed that, MLST was dominated by ST59 (46 strains, 60.53%), spa was dominated by t437 (52.63%), SCCmec was dominated by Ⅰ (42.11%) and Ⅳ (39.47%). MSSA typing showed that, MLST was dominated by ST188 (30.77%), spa was dominated by t189 (61.54%), agr was dominated by Ⅰ (53.85%). In MLST typing, ST59 of MRSA was higher than that of MSSA, and ST188 and ST6 of MRSA were lower than those of MSSA (χ2=36.207, 20.227, 9.984, P<0.05). In spa typing, the t437 of MRSA was higher than that of MSSA, and the t189 of MRSA was lower than that of MSSA (χ2=18.276, 32.781, P<0.05). The virulence genes showed that, the detection rates of hlb and seb in MRSA were higher than those in MSSA (χ2=47.838, 10.261, P<0.05), and the detection rates of cna and ebpS in MRSA were lower than those in MSSA (χ2=26.176, 8.305, P<0.05). Drug susceptibility test showed that, and the drug resistance rates of MRSA and MSSA to vancomycin (VAN) and linezolid (LNZ) were 0. The drug resistance rates of MRSA to oxacillin (OXA), ERY and CLI were 86.84%, 68.42% and 76.32%, which were higher than corresponding 7.69%, 42.31% and 46.15% of MSSA (χ2=78.055, 8.623, 12.200, P<0.05). The analysis of multi-drug resistant strains (MDR) showed that 76 MRSA strains were MDR strains, and 12 of 52 MSSA strains (23.08%) were MDR strains. Conclusions The molecular characteristics of SA isolated from orthopedic trauma patients' wounds were predominantly associated with MRSA strains of ST59-t437-SCCmec Ⅰ/Ⅳ-MRSA and ST188/ST6-t189-agr Ⅰ. These strains showed higher resistance to oxacillin, erythromycin, clindamycin, and higher susceptibility to vancomycin and linezolid. Such characteristics were closely related to the carriage of virulence genes. Clinicians should pay attention to the presence of MDR MSSA and develop appropriate antimicrobial strategies based on SA's molecular characteristics and antimicrobial resistance.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(9):1414-1417
Objective:
To understand the differences in the application of three distant vision examination methods in children, so as to provide a reference for developing a unified distant vision examination for this population.
Methods:
The study involved 98 children aged 4 to 16 years who visited the ophthalmology department of a children s hospital in Anhui Province between August 15 and 25, 2022. Vision was measured using the distant vision test method specified in the 2014 National Student Physical Fitness and Health Survey (V1), the 2019 National Student Physical Fitness and Health Survey (V2), and Specification for Screening of Refractive Error in Primary and Secondary School Students (WS/T 663-2020) (V3). The paired samples McNemar s test and Wilcoxon test were performed to compare the detection rate of poor vision and the difference between the visual acuity test results of the three methods.
Results:
The results of the 98 children examined according to V1, V2, and V3 showed that the M (P25, P 75 ) of the right eye were 4.8(4.6,5.0),4.8(4.7,5.0),and 4.8(4.7,5.0)while the left eye visual acuity M ( P 25 , P 75 ) were 4.8 (4.6,5.0),4.9( 4.7 ,5.0),and 4.9(4.7,5.0),respectively. The rates of poor visual acuity detection for the right eye were 63.3%, 58.2% and 58.2 % for V1, V2, and V3, respectively, while for the left eye, they were 58.2%, 54.1% and 53.1%, respectively. McNemar test results showed that there were no statistically significant differences in the rates of poor visual acuity detection between the right and left eyes for V1 vs. V2, V1 vs. V3, and V2 vs. V3 (left eyes: χ 2=2.25,2.29,0.00,right eyes: χ 2=3.20,3.20,0.00, P >0.05).Wilcoxon test results indicated that there were statistically significant differences between the right and left eye visual acuity groups for V1 vs. V2 and V1 vs. V3 (left eyes: Z =-4.15,-4.60, right eyes: Z = -4.70,-4.99, P <0.01).
Conclusion
Irrespective of whether the starting visual standard starts at row 4.0 or 5.0, different standards of visual standard passage have an impact on the visual acuity results. It is recommended that existing methods of screening for distance vision are standardized.
