OBJECTIVE:To study the enterococcal distribution in clinical samples and their drug resistance to commonly use antibiotic and provide the guidance for rational administration.METHODS : Adopting paper diffusion method to observe the drug resistance of enterococci isolated from clinical samples in our hospital and analyzing their distribution in the samples.RESULTS :Enterococcus faecalis accounts for 44.1% in 227 strains and Enterococcus faecium accounts for 37.9%,the other kinds of enterococci were rare.There was no statistical difference between drug resistance of Enterococcus faecium and that of enterococcus faecalis. Vancomycin was the most potent antimicrobial.Penicillin,ampicillin,and nitrofurantion showed good antibacterial activity against enterococcus faecalis. Enterococcus faecium displayed high-level resistance against antibiotics in addition to glycopeptides.CONCLUSION:Doctor should pay attention to the drug resistance about clinically common pathogenic bacterium. Continual surveillance of resistance rate of enterococcus is important to direct the treatment of enterococcus infections.

Anterior mandibular fracture, which includes symphyseal and parasymphyseal mandibular fractures, is one of the most common types of fracture in clinical work, and is usually associated with condyle fracture. This type of fracture predisposes the patients to facial widening, malocclusion, and ankylosis when not properly and timely treated because of the influence of its anatomic structure. This article reviews the characteristics, complication, diagnosis, and therapy of this type of fracture.

Effective loading and site-specific delivery of growth factors to regulate the cell growth on scaffold is one of the key issues of tissue engineering. Polymeric nanoparticle is one of the candidate carriers for carrying growth factors. This article attempts to introduce the biological characteristics of growth factors commonly used in tissue engineering, polymer materials for carrying the growth factors and the preparation of the nanoparticles and delivery systems. The advantages and disadvantages of different preparations are also discussed to facilitate the selection of the appropriate methods and materials. Relevant research progress and application potentials are discussed ss well.

Tryptophan is the essential amino acid in the growth of cell.Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase is the rate-limiting enzyme in the catabolism of tryptophan along the kynurenine pathway.Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase enzyme mainly promotes tryptophan consumption of local micro-environment,causing tryptophan lack,thus inhibiting proliferation and activation of T cell.Tryptophan-derived catabolites suppress allogeneic T-cell proliferation (kynurenine,3-hydroxykynurenine,and 3-hydroxyanthranilate).Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase dendritic cells may interact with regulatory T cells forming an immunomodulatory network to promote immune tolerance induction.Though the immune regulation mechanism of the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-initiated L-tryptophan in transplantation remains unclear,Numerous researches indicate that its role of tolerance induction in transplantation will be significant.

AIM　To synthesize derivatives of 2-[substituted phenyl)vinyl] indole and find compounds with biological activities by screening in vitro. METHODS　Twenty-one compounds of 2-[(substituted phenyl)vinyl] indole were synthesized by reduction, oxidation and Witting reaction. MS, 1HNMR and elemental analysis were used to determine the structures of the new compounds. RESULTS　These compounds are new ones. CONCLUSION　Six compounds (3,9,11,13,18 and 20) showed effects on some different receptors, such as alpha2, D2 and H1, and is worth further studying.

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections, especially those caused by Gram-negative pathogens, have emerged to be one of the world's greatest health threats. However, not only have recent decades shown a steady decline in the number of approved antimicrobial agents but a disappointing discovery also void. The development of novel antibiotics to treat MDR Gram-negative bacteria has been stagnated over the last half century. Though few compounds have shown activities in vitro, in animal models or even in clinical studies, the global antibiotic pipeline is not encouraging. There are a plethora of unexpected challenges that may arise and cannot always be solved to cause promising drugs to fail. This review intends to summarize recent research and development activities to meet the inevitable challenge in restricting the proliferation of MDR Gram-negative bacteria, with focus on compounds that have entered into clinical development stage. In addition to new analogues of existing antibiotic molecules, attention is also directed to alternative strategies to develop antibacterial agents with novel mechanisms of action.

Esophageal cancer is one of the most common alimentary malignancy.Although drugs and radiation treatments for esophageal cancer are constantly improved,surgical resection is still recognized as the most effective treatment method at present.With the continuous development of esophageal surgical techniques,minimally invasive treatment of esophageal cancer surgery technology has bcen performed at home and abroad,for the purpose of reducing the complications or mortality and improving the post-operative quality of life.Minimally invasive surgical indications,surgical procedure selection,complications and prognosis compared with traditional surgery are reviewed in this article to explore the application and clinical significance of minimally invasive treatment in patients with esophageal carcinoma.

The main factor is the number of patients, which predicted by least square method to reduce the deviation. The like equipments located nearby are also considered and the Shared Coefficient is proposed.

Objective To evaluate the effects of blood perfusion(HP)combined with hemodialysis(HD)on micro inflammation and malnutrition status in patients with maintenance of hemodialysis(MHD). Methods Eighty MHD patients admitted to blood purification center of Wuhan Puai Hospital in Hubei Province were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups. Pure HD group underwent conventional HD for 4 hours,3 times a week,and based on the weekly HD series,the HD+HP group took additionally HP once a week,the therapeutic course in both groups being consecutive 12 weeks. Blood was collected before and after treatment for detection of interleukin-6. (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and homocysteine (Hcy) levels were determined with electrochemiluminescence immunoassay,and the changes in nutritional indexes of hemoglobin(Hb),total protein(TP), albumin(Alb),transferrin(TRF)were observed. Results Compared with the indexes before treatment,in HD+HP group,hs-CRP(ng/L:5.65±2.21 vs. 13.91±2.10),IL-6(ng/L:50.10±6.65 vs. 101.22±21.32),TNF-α(ng/L:80.21±9.41 vs. 197.64±25.47),Hcy(μmol/L:13.31±2.21 vs. 40.96±9.42)were significantly decreased (all P<0.05),and Hb(g/L:106.65±22.21 vs. 92.01±12.10),TP(g/L:62.10±22.65 vs. 51.22±11.32),Alb (g/L:38.21±6.41 vs. 30.84±5.47),TRF(μg/L:196.31±22.21 vs. 161.96±15.42)were significantly increased (all P<0.05);but the above parameters in HD group did not change significantly(all P>0.05). There were statistical significant differences in above indexes after treatment between HD+HP group and HD group〔hs-CRP (ng/L):5.65±2.21 vs. 13.22±1.10,IL-6(ng/L):50.10±6.65 vs. 100.32±25.24,TNF-α(ng/L):80.21±9.41 vs. 196.87±24.54,Hcy(μmol/L):13.31±2.21 vs. 37.23±8.33,Hb(g/L):106.65±22.21 vs. 94.22±13.10,TP (g/L):62.10±22.65 vs. 51.32±12.32,Alb(g/L):38.21±6.41 vs. 32.87±4.54,TRF(μg/L):196.31±22.21 vs. 162.23±15.33,all P<0.05〕.
