Parkinson's disease is a commonly encountered central nervous retrograde affection in elder persons. According to the theories of traditional Chinese medicine, Parkinson's disease is characterized by deficiency in the Ben (root) and excess in the Biao (branch). The Ben (root) is insufficiency of liver and kidney and deficiency of qi and blood; and the Biao (branch) is wind, fire, phlegm and stasis. Good therapeutic effects have been obtained by treatment based on syndrome differentiation, treatment with specific prescriptions and acupuncture. The further study on literatures, standardized criterion of symptoms differentiation and therapeutic effect determination as well as the screening and further research on the effective prescriptions and herbs should be paid more attention, meanwhile, the integration of herbs and acupuncture will be conducive to raise the therapeutic effect.

Objective To understand the molecular epidemiology characteristics and its drug resistance of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the urban area of Jilin and to provide important basis for guiding the clinical medication and prevention of the MRSA infection. Methods One hundred and three strains of MRSA from July 2013 to July 2014 in the urban area of Jilin were selected. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology and multiple polymerase chain reaction were used to detect mecA gene and Staphylococcus chromosomal cassette mec typing (SCCmec) genotype of MRSA. The drug sensitivity test for 13 kinds of clinical common antibacterial drugs were detected by using the K-B method. And the source of the strains were analyzed. Results The results of SCCmec genotype of MRSA showed that SCCmecⅢtype were 62 strains, accounting for 60.2%;SCCmecⅡtype were 39 strains, accounting for 37.9%; failing to parting were 2 strains,accounting for 1.9%. Drug susceptibility test results showed that all of 103 MRSA strains were resistant to cefoxitin, cefazolin, penicillin and benzene, and drug resistance rate was 100.0%. The resistant rate to erythromycin, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, gentamicin and rifampin were 96.1%, 93.2%, 95.1%, 91.3%, 90.3%and 55.3%receptively;the resistant rate to sulfamethoxazolewas was only 1.9%;and the resistant strains to vancomycin and teicoplanin were not detected. The top three department of the distribution of the strains source were department of neurosurgery (31.1%), ICU (19.4%) and burn plastic surgery (17.5%). Conclusions The SCCmecⅢtype is the main MRSA epidemic strains, and SCCmec type II is a minor epidemic strainin the urban area of Jilin. The antibiotic resistance of MRSA is a serious problem with multiple drug resistance, but MRSA is sensitive to vancomycin and teicoplanin.

Objective To study the effect of rhu-IFN-? on immune state and vertical transmission in pregnant mice infected with Toxoplasma gondii. Methods Sixty pregnant BALB/c mice were randomly divided into three groups: a control group,infected group and treatment group. In the infected group and treatment group,each mouse was injected with T.gondii tachyzoites peritoneally on the day 8 of gestation. In the treatment group,each mouse was treated with 1 000 U rhu-IFN-? on the day 7,8,9 of gestation. Blood was collected from the tail veins of all the mice on the day 10,12 of gestation. The levels of blood CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were detected by flow cytometry. Meanwhile,on the day 12 of gestation,all mice were anatomized to observe live embryo rate and the infection status in fetal brain tissue. Results Compared with the control group,the levels of CD4+ T cells in the infected group and treatment group were low,and the levels of CD8+ T cells high on the day 10,12 of gestation,so the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ was inversed. However,compared with the infected group,the levels of CD4+ T cells in the treatment group were high and the levels of CD8+ T cells low on the day 10,12 of gestation,so the ratios of CD4+/CD8+ were high on the day 10,12 of gestation. Meanwhile,the live embryo rate was high and the infection rate of intrauterine embryonic low. Conclusion A proper dose of rhu-IFN-? could improve the function of immunity system and reduce the vertical transmission probability in pregnant mice infected with T.gondii.
