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.

OBJECTIVETo compare the differences in the clinical efficacy on neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury (SCD between the matrix needling technique combined with rehabilitation training and rehabilitation training in the patients.

METHODSSixty patients of SCI neurogenic bladder were randomized into an observation group (29 cases) and a control group (31 cases). In the control group, the conventional rehabilitation therapy, the intermittent catheterization and bladder function training were adopted, once every day, for 4 weeks totally. In the observation group, on the basic treatment of the rehabilitation as the control group, the matrix needling technique and acupuncture at sanyin points were applied. The treatment of 8 days made one session, at the interval of 2 days, continuously for 3 sessions, meaning 4 weeks totally. The bladder function score, residual urine volume and bladder capacity were compared before and after treatment in the two groups.

RESULTSThe bladder function score was reduced after treatment as compared with that before treatment in either group (both P<0. 05). The score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group after treatment (P<0. 05). No matter which spinal segment was injured, the residual urine volume after treatment was reduced as compared with that before treatment and the bladder capacity was increased (P<0. 05). The residual urine volume in the observation group was less than that in the control group after treatment and the bladder capacity was more increased (P< 0. 05).

CONCLUSIONThe conventional rehabilitation program in combination with the matrix needling technique and acupuncture at sanyin points achieve the significant efficacy on SCI neurogenic bladder.

To explore the status of acupuncture and moxibustion for prevention and treatment of lung cancer in current years; literature regarding acupuncture and moxibustion for prevention and treatment of lung cancer between 2003 and 2013 from SCI journals was retrieved and analyzed. As a result, 20 papers were included, which were published in 17 journals including Journal of Clinical Oncology, Chest, Respirology and Lung Cancer, etc. Of them, 3 papers discussed the effects of acupuncture on progressing of lung cancer; 4 articles confirmed that acupuncture could reduce myelosuppression and digestive tract reactions induced by radiotherapy and chemotherapy; 6 papers showed that acupuncture could relieve pain or fatigue of lung cancer; 3 papers indicated that acupuncture could palliate dyspnea in lung cancer patients. It is concluded by domestic and overseas researches that acupuncture and moxibustion are effective and safe for symptoms of lung cancer, which is worthy of further study.

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.

Objective To study the apoptosis of PBLC in SLE patients and the roles of caspase in the pathogeneses of SLE.Methods PBLC apoptosis was evaluated by vitro cell culture in 25 patients with SLE(11 active stage,14 catabasis),and 18 controls.The expression of caspase of PBLC was also detected by Western blot.Results In SLE,compared with controls,the apoptosis of PBLC were reduced before cell culture while those were increased after culture 24 and 48hrs.Expressions of caspase-2,3 in active stage patients were lower than those of catabasis group and controls.Conclusions Abnormal PBLC apoptosis results in decreasing Caspase2,3 in SLE patients.

AIM: To determine the contents of baicalin, berberine, rhein in Yiqing Capsule(Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, Radix Scutellariae, Rhizoma Coptidis) by HPLC. METHODS: The HPLC system consisted of Kromasil C 18 column (150 mm?4.6 mm, 5 ?m), 0.02 mol?L -1 phosphoric acid (TEA adjusted to pH=6.82)-acetonitrile(40∶11) mixture as mobile phase, detection wavelength at 254 nm, flow rate of 1.0 mL?min -1. RESULTS: The calibration curves of three ingredients were linear within the range of 3.666-73.32 mg?L -1(r=0.9998, baicalin), 0.3112-15.56 mg?L -1(r=0.9998, rhein), 1.221-50.04 mg?L -1(r=0.9999,berberine), respectively. The average recovery of baicalin is 102.3%(RSD=2.5%), berberine for 101.8%(RSD=1.8%), and rhein for 98.3%(RSD=2.9%). CONCLUSIONS: The method is rapid, sensitive and accurate.

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 investigate the methods and clinical outcome of the operative treatment of thoracolumbar fractures with pedicle screw single segment fixation and the approach through paravertebral muscles.Methods One hundred and twenty patients were selected as our subjects,who were suffered from thoracolumbar fracture without neurological deficit and underwent surgical treatment in the Central Hospital of Zibo from Jan.2009 to Dec.2010.All cases were randomly divided into mini-invasion group and control group.Patients in mini-invasion group were received the single segment fixation of the spatium intermusculare of longissimus muscle and multifidus,and in control group were received the traditional approach with short segment fixation group.The muscle gap approach along the longest muscle and multifidus muscle gap enters,preserving the integrity of the paraspinal muscles.Results The operation periods of mini-invasion group and control group were (53.8 ± 12.3) min and (88.5 ± 18.5) min (t =1.731,P ＜ 0.05),the intraoperative bleeding volume were (95.7 ±21.5) ml and (280.3 ±83.1) ml(t =2.414,P ＜0.05),the postoperative drainage volume were (20.4±8.2) ml and (132.9 ±50.3) ml(t =2.068,P ＜0.05) and inpatient time were (13.8 ±2.2)d and (20.4 ±5.5)d(t =1.853,P ＜0.05).However,there was no significant difference in terms of fracture healing time,visual analogue scale,Oswestry disability index and radiology(P ＞0.05).All cases had union of fractures and no reduction loss and fixation failure occurred.Condusion The treatment of pedicle screw single segment fixation and the approach through paravertebral muscles on thoracolumbar fracture is proved to be an effective method with minimally invasive,less bleeding volume,simple procedure and fast recovery method.

To investigate the outcome of renal transplantation in the elderly patients,the sur-vival rate,postoperative complications,rejection incidences and causes of death after renal trans-plantation in the elderly patients were compared to those of the contemporary younger patientsduring a follow-up of 5 years.No significant difference was found in the patients/graft survivaljection incidence was only 16%6 months after renal transplantation.Infection was the most com-mon complication and the main cause of death.The findings suggest that the elderly patients aresuitable for the renal transplantation as younger ones.
