The infection caused by pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm has becoming one of the most urgent problems in hospital.Recent reports of possible mechanism of iron in biofilm formation were reviewed in this paper.The possible effects of iron on adsorption,microcolony formation,mature of colony and desorb were explained,and the prospect of clinical use of local iron or chelator spray was also reviewed here.

Objective To study improvement of neural function by stereotaxic transplantation of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) into lateral cerebral ventricle after intracerebral hemorrhage in rats and its mechanism. Methods ADSC were cultured and proliferated in vitro, which had been marked with Brdu for 48 h before transplantation. The rat caudate nucleus hemorrhage (ICH) models were divided into 2 groups. ADSC were stereotaxically transplanted into the right lateral ventricles in ADSC group, and equal volume of saline was transplanted into control group. The score of neurological behavior were evaluated at modeling and 1, 3, 7, 14, 28 days after transplantation respectively.Double-staining immunofluorescence technique was used to detect Brdu-positive cells and the differentiation of neurons and astrocytes. In accordance with the instructions of TUNEL kit, cell apoptosis, and the expression of VEGF and angiogenesis were assayed. Results In vitro ADSC expressed undergo osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation. Compared with the control group, ADSC group had better motor function at 3, 7, and 14 days (P<0. 05). Double-staining immunofluorescence showed mostly grafted Brdu-reactive ADSC had migrated to the hematoma zone, and some survivedand expressed Neun of Gfap. TUNEL analysis revealed that, 3 days after transplantation, the number of apoptotic cells in ADSC group was significantly less than in the control group (P<0. 05). Three days after transplantation, VEGF expression levels in ADSC group were significantly higher than in the control group (P<0. 05). Conclusion ADSC stereotaxially transplanted into the lateral ventricle can survive and differentiate into neuron-like cells. ADSC transplantation may reduce apoptosis and secret VEGF to promote the angiogenesis, and improve neural functional in intracerebral hemorrhage rats.

OBJECTIVE To study the in virto interaction of allicin combined with cefoperazone against clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.METHODS The protocol was designed by checkerboard method and the MICs of allicin combined with cefoperazone against the 17 strains of sensitive and 14 strains of drug-resistant P.aeruginosa were determined by broth dilution method,the FIC index was calculated according to MIC results.The combined effects were confirmed by FIC index.RESULTS The percentage of the FIC index less than 0.5,from 0.5 to 1,from 1 to 2,and more than 2 was 41.2-64.3% 35.7-41.2% 0-17.6%,and 0%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS Synergism and additivity of allicin combined with cefoperazone against P.aeruginosa are their main action,there are little autonomy and no antagonism.Allicin can significantly improve the antibacterial activity of cefoperazone against drug-resistant P.aeruginosa.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of HEMO-FISS-QoL(HF-QoL) questionnaire (HF-QoL-C) in the Chinese population with hemorrhoids.Methods:From November 2021 to November 2022, a self-constructed general information questionnaire, HF-QoL-C, and the 36-item short form health survey (SF-36), Goligher classification, and Giordano severity of hemorrhoid symptom questionnaire (GSQ) were used to conduct a questionnaire survey on 760 hemorrhoid patients in the anorectal department of six hospitals. The data was analyzed for reliability and validity using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 26.0 software.Results:The Cronbach's α coefficient of HF-QoL-C and its dimension ranged from 0.831 to 0.960, and the split coefficient was 0.832-0.915. Four common factors were extracted through principal component exploratory factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated acceptable structural validity( χ2/ df=8.152, RSMEA=0.097, CFI=0.881, IFI=0.881, NFI=0.867). HF-QoL-C was correlated with SF36 and GSQ( r=-0.694, 0.501, both P<0.01). There were differences in the total score and dimensional scores of HF-QoL-C between surgical and drug treated patients, different grades of Goligher classification for hemorrhoidal disease, and different ranges of hemorrhoid prolapse (all P<0.001). No ceiling effect was found in the total score and the scores of each dimension(0.3%-2.0%). There was a floor effect in both psychological function and sexual activity dimensions (16.7%, 35.1%). Conclusion:HF-QoL-C has good reliability and validity, which can be used to measure the quality of life of Chinese hemorrhoid patients.
