OBJECTIVE:To standardize periooperative prophylactic application of antibiotics. METHODS:According to the characteristics of orthopaedic and parenchyma surgery,classifying evaluation table of typeⅠincision infection risk was designed sci-entifically and rationally. The individual application of antibiotics in surgery patients had been achieved through infection risk evalua-tion. High risk typeⅠincision patients used antibiotics rationally and low risk patients seldom used or didn’t use at all. RESULTS:Through using infection risks classifying table,the rate of antibiotics prophylactic application in typeⅠincision drops from 74.10%to 28.68%,and and the per capita duration of antibiotics prophylactic application shortened from 4.23 d to 2.21 d. The postopera-tive infection rate remained the same. CONCLUSIONS:Through infection risk classifying evaluation,individual application of anti-biotics can be achieved in surgery patients,so as to promote rational use of antibiotics for prophylactic use,reduce antibiotics dos-age and antibiotics abuse under the condition of controllable surgery infection.

AIM: To detect the effects of Xinmailing Solution and MK-801 on injury of neuronal cell induced by glutamate. METHODS: Cultured neuronal cell injuried by glutamate was prepared and the content of malondialdehyde and nitrite in cell supernatant was measured. Morphology changes were also observed with discrepancy microscope at the same time. RESULTS: Xinmailing Solution and MK-801 attenuated cell injury induced by glutamate,and inhibited increase in malondialdehyde and nitrite in cell supernatant. CONCLUSION: Xinmailing Solution had a protective effect on neuronal cell at cell level.

Objective To explore the status of oxidative stress (OS) in the first-episode schizophrenia patients (FEP) and to examine the effects of antipsychotic drugs on oxidative stress of FEP. Methods The plasma total superox?ide dismutase (T-SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), catalase (CAT) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) were measured in forty-seven FEP (case group) and forty-three healthy volunteers (control group) before and after treatment. Eighteen cases completed 6-week treatment with risperidone (risperidone group) and twenty-five cases completed 6-week treatment with olanzapine (olanzapine group). Results The activity of T-SOD and GSH-Px were lower (P<0.05) and CAT was higher (P<0.05 ) while there was no significant difference in T-AOC (P>0.05) in FEP compared to the control group. Risperidone and olanzapine significantly improved T-SOD and T-AOC, respectively (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the changes of oxidative stress indicators after treatment (P>0.05). Conclusion FEP has alterations of antioxidant enzymes, which may be related to the pathogenesis of schizo?phrenia. Antipsychotics risperidone and olanzapine may improve the oxidative stress in FEP.

Objective To establish a new method for measuring the 3-D kinematics of hindfoot joints in vivo by using reverse engineering software together with the theory of rigid body kinematics.Methods CT images were gathered from 9 feet of 5 healthy volunteers in both the initial position (neutral position) and the terminal position (extremely inversion-adduction-dorsiflexion position).The 3-D digital modules of hindfoot joints in the initial position and terminal position were established with MIMICS 10.01 software.The data of reconstructed digital modules was inputted into the GEOMAGIC 10.0 software in STL format for twice registration,and then their relatively displacement and changes of angle in 3-D space between the two positions were calculated Results The rotation range of the tibiotalar joint was 3.89° ±2.77° in eversion,5.29°±4.47° in abduction,10.77°+5.70° in dorsiflexion,and the relative displacement was 0.78±0.59 mm towards lateral ankle,0.18±0.75 mm towards the hindfoot,(0.65±0.71) mm towards the proximal limbs;the range of subtalar joint was 16.46°±2.94° in inversion,12.77°±1.81° in adduction,6.33°±4.32° in plantarflexion,and the relative displacement was 5.50±1.45 mm towards medial ankle,1.96±1.77 mm towards forefoot,0.43±1.18 mm towards distal limbs; the range of talonavicular joint was 38.82°±5.98° in inversion,19.71°±6.33° in adduction,5.09°±6.89° in plantarflexion,and the relative displacement was (9.77±1.73) mm towards medial ankle,3.13±1.29 mm towards hindfoot,4.64±1.42 mm towards proximal limbs.Conclusion This method measuring 3-D kinematics of hindfoot joints in vivo is non-invasive and easy to operate.

Objective To isolate bacteriophages against extensively-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii from hospital sewage and analyze their biological characteristics.Methods Extensively-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from several hospitals in Shanghai during December, 2013 to July, 2014 were used as host bacteria, adopting double-layer agar method to isolate bacteriophages from raw sewage of these hospitals.The phage with broad host range was selected for further study, including observation of electron microscopic morphology, examination of thermal stability, pH stability and the optimal MOI, drawing of the adsorption, one-step-growth and infection curves, as well as sequencing of the phage genome DNA. Results An extensively-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii bacteriophage vB_AbaP_PD-AB9 ( PD-AB9 for short) with broad host range was isolated, and electron microscopy revealed it belonged to Podoviridae family.The optimal MOI of PD-AB9 was 0.001.PD-AB9 remained stable among 4 ℃to 50 ℃and pH 4 to 11.In the adsorption experiment, the adsorption rate of PD-AB9 reached above 95%within 5 min.PD-AB9 had a latent period of 4 min and a burst size of 213.PD-AB9 could obviously restrain the host growth, with faster effect at the higher MOIs (MOI=1, 0.1, 0.01) than at the lower ones (MOI=0.001, 0.000 1).Furthermore, genome of PD-AB9 proved to be a double-stranded linear DNA with size of 40 938 bp and GC content of 39.34%.Conclusions PD-AB9 exhibits good thermal stability, wide pH tolerance range, very fast adsorption, a short latent period, a large burst size and it could quickly cause effective host lysis after infection.Therefore, PD-AB9 is promised to act as a new antimicrobial agent to control drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections and its bio information remains to be further studied.

Background:
and Purpose Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune-mediated disorder characterized by demyelinating or axonal injury of the peripheral nerve. Our aim is to determine whether serum amyloid A (SAA) is a biomarker of demyelinating injury and disease severity in patients with GBS.
Methods:
This study retrospectively enrolled 40 patients with either the demyelinating or axonal GBS and sex- and age-matched controls with other neurological diseases as well as healthy subjects. The demographic and clinical features at entry were collected. The serum levels of the SAA isoforms SAA1, SAA2, and SAA4 were determined in the patients with GBS and the controls using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and analyzed for the associations between levels of different SAA isoforms and the clinical features of the patients.
Results:
The levels of SAA2 and SAA4 were significantly higher in patients with GBS than in both the other neurological disease controls and the healthy subjects (p<0.05 for all). The level of SAA1 did not differ between patients with GBS and the controls. The level of SAA2 was considerably higher in GBS patients with antecedent infection than in those without infection (p=0.020). The levels of different SAA isoforms were not associated with the disease severity or other clinical features of patients with GBS (p>0.05 for all).
Conclusions
Increased levels of SAA2 and SAA4 may only represent the acute inflammatory status and so cannot be utilized as biomarkers of the disease severity or demyelinating injury in patients with GBS.
