Objective To understand the bacteriology and the association between drug susceptibility and clinical features from recent hospitalization of tuberculosis(TB)patients with positive tuberculosis bacilli culture.Methods We collected the clinical data of inpatients due to tuberculosis or pulmonary disease with positive tuberculosis bacilli by BACTEC960 culture auto-analysis system and possessing anti-tuberculosis drug susceptibility testing results from January 2008 to November 2008.All isolated strains were tested with first-line drugs included Streptomycin(S),Isoniazid(H),Rifampicin(R)and Ethambutol(E).Some isolate strains were used to test Amikacin(Am),Capreomycin(Cm)and Ofloxacin(Ofx).We recorded the drug-tested results and clinical data and retrospectively analyzed them.The patients with pulmonary disease from nontuberculosis mycobacteria(NTM)were excluded.Results (1)There were 417 patients with positive culture of tuberculosis bacilli (included 294 male and 123 female).The mean age was(47.8 18.1)years(ranging from 6 to 91 years).There were 68 cases complicated with endobronchial tuberculosis(EBTB)and 56 cases with type 2 diabetes mellitus.(2)There were 271 cases for initial treatment and 146 cases of relapsing tuberculosis.The total drug resistant rate was 53.5 percent,and of oflx was as high as 31.86 percent.The initial drug resistant rate was S 22.5%,H 25.8%,R 17.3%,E 21.0%,Am 6.3%,Cm 10.0%,Ofx 16.6% respectively and the required rate was 67.8%,82.9%,68.5%,68.5%,19.9%,25.3%,58.2% respectively.(3)There were 143 patients with multi-drug resistant TB(MDR-TB).The mean age 44.59?16.31 was significantly younger than of other patients(P

Aim To investigate the function of fenofi-brate on PAN ( puromycin aminonucleoside )-induced podocyte injury. Methods SD female rats of 18-week-old were randomly assigned into 3 groups ( n =6 ) . Mice in PAN group and fenofibrate treated group received a single intravenous injection of PAN ( 65 mg ·kg-1 ) , while those in control group received equal volume of saline. Mice in fenofibrate treated group re-ceived 40 mg · kg-1 · d-1 of fenofibrate ( intragastric administration ) on day 1 after PAN injection , while those in PAN group and control group received equal volume of vehicle. 24 hours urine samples from all group were collected on day 0(1 day before PAN injec-tion), day 6, day 10. The 24 hours urine protein was detected by Bradford assay. All the rats were sacrificed 10 days after the induction of podocyte injury, and glo-merulus sample were collected. The expression of podocyte injury marker and transcription level in apop-tosis, podocyte cytoskeleton protein, slit diaphragm protein were evaluated by Western blot and real-time PCR. Results Compared with the control group, 10 days after injection of PAN, 24 hours urine protein was obviously increased, and the expression and transcrip-tion level of podocyte injury marker desmin, apoptosis, podocyte cytoskeleton protein, slit diaphragm protein were upregulated greatly, however, those were signifi-cantly lower in fenofibrate treated group as compared with those in PAN group. Conclusions PPAR-α ago-nist fenofibrate can ameliorate PAN-induced glomerulus podocyte injury, and the mechanism involved may be associated with inhibition of the mitochondria apopto-sis, TGF-β/Smad pathway and p38 pathway.

Objective To observe the effects of Radix Angelica Sinensis ( RAS) on depression be-havior and cytokines,TNF-αand IL-6,in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of depression model rats in-duced by chronic unpredictable mild stress ( CUMS) .Methods 32 adult male rats weighting 140-160 g were randomly divided into 4 groups: Control,CUMS,CUMS+fluoxetine and CUMS+RAS groups.CUMS procedure went on 5 consecutive weeks and during the last 3 weeks the rats in CUMS+fluoxetine and CUMS+RAS groups were taken RAS or fluoxetine via intragastric administration.After 5-week CUMS procedure, rats were subjected to sucrose preference test,forced swimming test and open field test.After behavioral tests were finished,all rats were anesthetized with 10%chloral hydrate (350 mg/kg,intraperitoneal injection) and then decapitated.The hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of rats were separated and ELISA was used to detect the expression of TNF-αand IL-6 in these regions.Results Comparing with control rats, rats exposed to CUMS showed decreased sucrose preference ratio((42±15)%),prolonged immobility time ((68.28±16.50) s),decreased crossing numbers (31.25±21.56) and increased TNF-α((206.14±30.53)pg/ml) and IL-6 ((369.51±103.81)pg/ml) expression in hippocampus and TNF-α((199.33±25.67)pg/ml) and IL-6 ((347.74±81.04) pg/ml) expression in prefrontal cortex ( P<0.01).However,RAS treated rats reversed the behavioral changes such as sucrose preference ratio((66±21)%),immobility time ((32.53±10.26)s) and crossing numbers ( 83.00 ±23.25 ) , meanwhile reduced TNF-α( ( 53.42 ±12.43 ) pg/ml ) and IL-6 ((93.84±13.19)pg/ml) expression in hippocampus,TNF-α((57.58±8.33)pg/ml) and IL-6((91.18± 17.37) pg/ml) expression in prefrontal cortex among stress rats ( P<0.01) .Conclusion RAS can amelio-rate CUMS induced depression behaviors of rats through regulating hippocampus and prefrontal cortex cyto-kines ( TNF-α,IL-6) .

Objective To analyze the ecological environmental differences of hibernation hole and temporary hole of Himalayan marmot based on global positioning system (GPS),remote sensing (RS) and geographical information system (GIS) in Yushu City,Qinghai Province.Methods Hibernation holes and temporary holes were located based on GPS.Ecological environment factors related with Himalayan marmot,such as land surface temperature (LST),digital elevation model (DEM),normalized different vegetation index (NDVI),were extracted based on RS and GIS.The ecological environment differences between hibernation hole and temporary hole were explored based on epidemiological statistical method.Results Monthly LST (degree Kelvin,K) of hibernation hole was slightly higher than that of temporary hole in the same period.Yearly day LST of hibernation hole was 1.1 K higher than that of temporary hole in the same period.Yearly night LST of hibernation hole was 0.3 K higher than that of temporary hole in the same period.Monthly NDVI of temporary hole was slightly higher than that of hibernation hole in the same period.Yearly NDVI of temporary hole was 0.001 higher than that of hibernation hole in the same period.DEM of temporary hole was about 40 m higher than that of hibernation hole.The top two ratios of soil type factors were both alpine meadow soil and dark felty soil for hibernation hole and temporary hole,which were 62.1％ and 29.3％,64.4％ and 25.6％.The top two ratios of land cover factors were both rainfed cropland and mosaic cropland for hibernation hole and temporary hole,which were 43.3％ and 25.8％,40.0％ and 26.2％.Conclusions Soil type factors and land cover factors for hibernation hole and temporary hole are similar.Lower DEM and higher LST are chose for hibernation hole,and better NDVI is chose for temporary hole,which is good for food intake.

Objective To discuss the clinical characteristics and treatment methods of lumbar disc herniation in adolescent and to in-crease the awareness of lumbar disc herniation among orthopedists.Methods Retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 201 adolescent pa-tients(aged 20 years or less)with lumbar disc herniation who were admitted in General Hospital of Shenyang Military Area Command from January 2001 to December 2010.Analyzed the clinical characteristics and treatment methods,and compared the VAS score and ODI score be-fore operation,one week after operation and at the last follow up.Meanwhile,the complications were observed and compared.Results Among the 201 patients,187 patients(93.0%)presented with low back pain with or without radiating pain,20 patients(10.0%)presented with leg pain for the first symptom.There were only 97 patients(48.3%)were diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation for their first diagnosis in other hospital.Totally 70 patients(34.8%)had a history of trauma before the onset.The most common segments were L4 /L5 (101 cases,50.2%) and L5 /S1 (70 cases,34.8%).There were 140 patients treated by microendoscopy discectomy(MED),25 patients treated by percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy(PELD),and 36 patients treated by open lumbar discectomy(OLD).All the patients were followed up for more than 12 months with averagely followed up for(22.9 ±11.7)months.There was significant improvement one week after operation and at the last follow up compared with the preoperative VAS score and ODI score,and the differences were statistically significant(P <0.05).The rate of postoperative complications was 3.6%,4.0%,8.3% in patients with MED,PELD and OLD respectively.Conclusion Diagnosis of LDH in adolescent is usually delayed.Increase the awareness of lumbar disc herniation could help orthopedists to get a exact medical history,per-form a directed physical examination,and order appropriate imaging studies.Minimally invasive surgery is an effective method to treat lumbar disc herniation in adolescent.
