Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacterium with strong pathogenicity. With the widespread use of antibiotics， its multi-drug resistance has gradually increased. Among them， methicillin-resistant S. aureus （MRSA） is one of the main pathogens of hospital and community infections. Antimicrobial peptides are short-chain peptides with good antibacterial effects and low drug resistance， which have been widely studied in recent years. This study summarizes the mechanism of action of antimicrobial peptides and related study on antimicrobial peptides against MRSA from different sources. It is found that the mechanisms of action of antimicrobial peptides include targeting bacterial cell membranes， bacterial cells， and bacterial cell walls， etc. Besides isolating antimicrobial peptides with anti-MRSA activity from animals， plants， and microorganisms， antimicrobial peptides can also be obtained through synthetic methods. Among them， GHa-derived peptides from animal sources， Ib-AMP4 from plant sources， Ph-SA from microbial sources， the synthetic peptide LLKLLLKLL-NH2， and so on， due to their effective antibacterial activity， rapid bactericidal speed， and low toxicity， are promising candidates for anti-MRSA drugs.

【Objective】 To explore the changes of parameters of thromboelastogram (TEG) detection in patients with cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage, and their correlation with routine coagulation indicators, and compare the two methods in detecting coagulation function and status in patients with cerebrovascular disease. 【Methods】 The detection data of 34 cases of cerebral infarction and 102 cases of cerebral hemorrhage, who underwent TEG and routine coagulation test in parallel, in Department of Neurosurgery of our hospital from January 1, 2018 to March 26, 2019 were collected. Fifty healthy subjects, who underwent TEG and routine coagulation tests in the same period, served as the control. The results of TEG and routine coagulation test of the 3 groups were compared and analyzed. 【Results】 Compared with cerebral hemorrhage (group) and the control, R value of cerebral infarction group decreased significantly, while the Angle angle, MA distance, CI value, Fib and D-D levels increased significantly(P<0.05); the K value, Fib, TT, and D-D of cerebral hemorrhage group increased significantly while Angle angle and MA distance decreased significantly compared with other two groups(P<0.05). The R value, K time (min), TT (s), D-D (mg/L), Angle angle (°), MA distance, CI value, and Fib (mmg/L) of cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage group were 5.06±1.71 vs 6.95±4.34, 1.19±0.68 vs 3.43±1.46, 13.89±1.05 vs 18.63±1.25, 1.93±0.25 vs 2.63±0.45, 69.34±10.37 vs 56.54±10.48, 68.34±9.37 vs 54.35±7.48, 2.20±0.31 vs 0.78±0.41, and 380±70.02 vs 354±71.56 (P<0.05). In cerebral infarction group, the R value, APTT, Angle angle, MA, and CI values were positively correlated with Fib (P<0.05); while K time was negatively correlated with Fib ; MA distance with PT/TT; CI value with PT/APTT(P<0.05). In the cerebral hemorrhage group, the R value was positively correlated with PT/APTT; K time with TT; Angle with Fib (P<0.05); R value/K time were negatively correlated with Fib; Angle with TT; CI value with PT (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 For patients with cerebrovascular disease, there is no correlation between TEG indicators and the D-D level of routine coagulation tests; the Angle angle of patients with cerebrovascular disease is positively correlated with the elevated Fib; and MA distance is more useful for diagnosing cerebral infarction than cerebral hemorrhage. TEG is complementary to routine coagulation test, and can be used as a laboratory index for assessing the severity of cerebrovascular disease.

Twenty-six compounds, including sixteen meroterpenoids(1-16), a triterpenoid(17), four terpenoid derivatives(18-21), and five aromatic compounds(22-26), were isolated from the leaves of Psidium guajava. Their structures were identified by spectroscopic analyses including NMR and MS. Compounds 21-26 were obtained from plants of Psidium for the first time. Based on the structure,(R)-2-ethylhexyl 2H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate(24 a), an α-glucosidase inhibitor recently isolated from Paramignya trimera, should be revised as compound 24. Meroterpenoids 1-16 were evaluated for their antitumor and antifungal activities. Meroterpenoids psiguajadial D(4), guapsidial A(5), 4,5-diepipsidial A(7), guadial A(14), and guadial B(15) showed cytotoxicities against five human tumor cell lines(HL-60, A-549, SMMC-7721, MCF-7, and SW-480), among which 5 was the most effective with an IC_(50) of 3.21-9.94 μmol·L~(-1).

OBJECTIVETo discuss the clinical characteristics of remnant gastric cancer (RGC).

METHODSClinical data of 163 patients with RGC admitted to our department from January 2005 to January 2015 were collected and reviewed.

RESULTSThe time duration of all the RGC patients between primary gastrectomy and occurrence of RGC ranged from 9 to 46 years (median 27.5 years). Among 163 patients, 112(68.7%) patients manifested as discomfort in the upper abdominal region, 47(28.8%) patients had hematemesis and melena, 38(23.3%) had vomiting, 17(10.4%) had swallowing difficulty and 12 (7.4%) had decreased weights. In pathology, 127 (77.9%) cases were median or low grade adenocarcinoma; 114(69.8%) patients were Borrmann type III( gastric cancer under endoscope; 145 (88.9%) patients were TNM III(-IIII( gastric cancer. A total of 106 patients underwent operation, including 75(70.8%) patients of radical resection and 31(29.3%) patients of palliative resection. Patients mainly received Billroth II( anastomosis (77.4%) as digestive tract reconstruction, while 57 cases did not receive surgical operation. The overall 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates of the patients were 76.1%, 43.4%, 25.8% respectively. The median survival time of patients receiving radical resection and those receiving palliative resection was 34.6 months and 16.4 months respectively, whereas patients who did not receive surgical operation died 3-8 months after initial diagnosis.

CONCLUSIONSRegular gastroscopy is necessary for patients undergoing gastrectomy for over 10 years. Radical resection is of great importance in the treatment of remnant gastric cancer.

Gastrointestinal carcinomas, whose incidence increases in recent years, are among the malignancies with highest morbidity and mortality. Many patients are always advanced stages when having diagnosis. So far, there are no any reliable tumor biomarkers which are able to screen people with high risk of developing cancer. Studies have shown that the expression level of Lgr4 is high in gastrointestinal carcinomas and Lgr4 is useful in diagnosis, differential diagnosis and prognosis judgment of these carcinomas. Lgr4 belongs to the G-protein-coupled receptors family. Its function is to potentiate Wnt signaling and plays an important role in the development of multiple organs. Recent studies find that Lgr4 has close relationship with the development of many gastrointestinal carcinomas, such as gastric cancer and colorectal cancer(CRC). In this article we review recent progress in understanding the relationship between Lgr4 and gastrointestinal carcinomas.
