Objective To investigate the distribution and antibiotics resistance in blood culture isolates.Methods The clinical isolates of blood specimens from patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University during 2004 to 2006 were identified anti the drug resistance to antimierobial agents was tested.The results were analyzed and compared with those during 1986 to 1998.Results A total of 576 strains were isolated from 6203 blood specimens,among which gram positive cocci and gram negative bacilli account for 57.8%(333/576)and 31.4%(181/576),respectively.The frequent isolates were coagulase negative Staphylococcus,Escherichia coli,Staphylococcus aureus,hemolytic Streptococcus viridans,Klebsiella pneumoniae and fungi.The methicillin-resistant coagulase negative Staphylococci(MRCNS)accounted for 78.3%(155/198).Gram negative bacilli were highly susceptible to imipenem,piperacillin/tazobactam and amikacin.Conclusions The incidence of bloodstream infections caused by MRCNS,gram negative bacilli producing ESBLs and fungi are increasing.The clinical isolates from blood have hish resistance to the first line antibiotics.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of balloon kyphoplasty combined with bone cement on the treatment osteoporotic vertebral fracture.METHODS: A total of 58 aged patients with single osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (58 vertebral bodies) were treated with balloon kyphoplasty. The fracture always occurred at T_8-L_4 segment of vertebral body in particular at T_(10)-L_2 segment of thoracic waist. By local anesthesia, lateral or bilateral pedicle of vertebral arch was punctured to injection bone cement under C-arm fluoroscopy.RESULTS: Bone cement leakage occurred in 8 cases, including leakage along posterior longitudinal ligament into adjacent posterior margin of vertebral body (n=1), external edge of vertebral body (n=6), and subcutaneous tissue (n=1); however, all the patients did not have clinical symptoms. C-arm fluoroscopy showed that height of vertebral body was increased, and rachiokyphosis was improved after treatment. Pain was obviously improved, and the easement rate of pain was 100%. There was significant difference in visual simulation score, angle degree of rachiokyphosis, and living activity scale before and 6 months after treatment (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between 6 months after treatment and following up stopping (P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Balloon kyphoplasty can significantly ease pain caused by osteoporotic spinal fractures and tumor metastatic spinal fractures and can partially restore vertebral body height and kyphosis deformity, there is conducive to improving spinal function and improving the quality of life.

Objective To investigate the effects of Saccharomyces boulardii ( S. boulardii) on the col-onization of Helicobacter suis ( H. suis) in stomach and the formation of gastric mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) during H. suis infection. Methods Sixty C57BL/6 wild type mice were randomly divided into six groups. The mice in group A and group B were respectively given sterile distilled water and S. boulardii twice by gavage and then infected with H. suis for one week. The mice in group C and group E were given sterile phos-phate buffer saline by gavage for one week and then respectively given sterile distilled water and S. boulardii by gavage twice a week for 12 weeks. The mice in group D and group F were infected with H. suis for one week and then respectively given sterile distilled water and S. boulardii by gavage twice a week for 12 weeks. Serum and gastric tissue samples were collected from each mouse. Results The bacterial loads of H. suis in the stomachs of mice in group B were significantly lower than those in group A. No significant differences in the levels of se-creted IgA( sIgA) in serum and gastric tissue samples and the expression of IFN-γat mRNA level in gastric mu-cosa samples were found between the two groups. The expression of H. suis 16S RNA and the formation of gastric lymphoid follicles were detected in mice in groups D and F. The levels of sIgA in serum and gastric tissue sam-ples and the expression of IFN-γ and CXCL13 at mRNA level in gastric mucosa samples increased significantly in groups D and F as compared with groups C and E. Compared with the mice in group D, the bacterial loads of H. suis in stomachs, the numbers of MALT per unit length of gastric mucosa and the expression of IFN-γ and CXCL13 at mRNA level in gastric mucosa decreased significantly in mice from group F, but the levels of sIgA in serum and gastric tissue samples increased significantly. Conclusion S. boulardii could inhibit the colonization of H. suis in stomach and suppress the formation of gastric MALT during H. suis infection.

Objective To investigate the change of connexin (Cx) in mesenteric artery (MA) and aorta of spontaneously hyper‐tensive rats (SHR) and normotensive rats .Methods Quantitative RT‐PCR and Werstern blot technique were used to compare the difference in the expression of Cx37 and Cx40 mRNA and protein in MA and aorta of SHR and normotensive rats .Results The level of Cx37 mRNA expression in MA from SHR was decreased compared with that of the normotensive rats (P<0 .05) ,and more significantly in aorta (P<0 .01) .Cx40 mRNA expression in MA from SHR was significantly decreased compared with that of the normotensive rats (P<0 .01) ,but no change in aorta (P>0 .05) .The expression of Cx37 protein in MA from SHR was decreased compared with that of the normotensive rats (P<0 .05) ,and more significantly in aorta (P<0 .01) .Cx40 protein expression in MA from SHR was significantly decreased compared with that of the normotensive rats (P<0 .05) ,but no change in aorta (P>0 .05) . Conclusion Hypertension may could decrease gap junctional communication in cells of MA and aorta from SHR by the downregu‐lation of the expression of Cx37 and/or Cx40 .

OBJECTIVETo analyze the epidemiology of hospital and community-acquired infections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) and risk factors for infections caused by resistant strains.
METHODSA retrospective observational study was performed to analyze the relationship between antimicrobial use and bacterial resistance.
RESULTSA K. pneumoniae infection was diagnosed in 0.47% of patients (169 of 36 179) admitted to the hospital between 1 March 1999 and 31 August 2000. Of the 169 isolates, 166 (98.2%) were resistant to at least one antimicrobial and 91.1% (154/169) to two or more antibiotics. 98% were resistant to ampicillin, 77% to piperacillin, 64% to cephalothin, 60% to ampicillin/sulbactam, 59% to cefoperazone, 57% to cefazolin, 55% to cefuroxime, 51% to TMP-SMZ, 51% to tobramycin, 50% to gentamicin, 49% to aztreonam, cefetaxime and ceftriaxone respectively, 47% to ceftazidime, 47% to cefepime, 46% to ciprofloxacin, 46% to ticarcillin/clavulanate, 44% to amikacin, 38% to cefoxitin, 22% to piperacillin/tazobactam, while all strains were tested susceptible to imipenem.
CONCLUSIONSPrior receipt of amtimicrobial therapy was significantly associated with infection caused by a resistant organism and most strains were resistant to multiple antibiotics.

It is regarded that the general qi is the combination of spleen-kidney qi and heart-lung yang qi in the chest, which is filled between the muscles and is able to maintain the normal shape of the muscles. Accordingly, it is proposed that the core pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the deficiency sinking of general qi, with "deficiency" as the root, and "toxin" and "wind-heat" as the key factors for the rapid progression of the disease. The development process of ALS was classified into the initial onset stage, the increasingly progressive stage, and the rapid exacerbation stage, and differentiated and treated by deficiency, toxin, and wind-heat. Based on clinical experience, the wind medicinals were preferred. We formed self-prescribed Juxian Decoction (举陷汤) and modified from the perspective of "deficiency, toxicity, wind-heat" based on the wind medicinals of Huangqi (Radix Astragali), Shengma (Actaea cimicifuga L.), Chaihu (Bupleurum spp.) and so on. For the initial onset stage, Yiqi Shengji Juxian Decoction (益气生肌举陷汤), Wenyang Liyan Juxian Decoction (温阳利咽举陷汤) could be used; for the increasingly progressive stage, Jiedu Juxian Decoction (解毒举陷汤) could be used; for the rapid exacerbation stage, Yinqiao Shufen Juxian Decoction (银翘疏风举陷汤), Yangxue Xifeng Juxian Decoction (养血熄风举陷汤) could be used.
