Aim To test the skin healing and repairing efficacy and the mechanism of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L bud extract by using the animal models. Methods KM mice were randomly divided into three groups:the model group, the positive control group, and the n-bu-tyl alcohol extract ( HrBN) group. Using the boils and carbuncles model, the healing condition of all the animals were observed. KM mice were kept in the SPF condition room and divided into five groups: the model group, the positive control group, and the low, middle, high dose groups. Using the full-thickness loss model, the repairing results of all the mice were ob-served. Through the antimicrobial test, the results of MIC and inhibition zone were obtained. The carbon clearance test was used to collect the blood at the time 5min and 15min, and get the liver and spleen, and the results of K andαwere obtained. Results In vivo ex-periments showed there was significant difference be-tween groups;the HrBN extract had the outstanding ef-ficacy in healing and repairing skin boils and full-thickness loss models. It had higher recovery rate than other ethanol extract, such as ethyl acetate extract and chloroform extract. In vitro experiments showed that the HrBN extract, ethyl acetate extract ( HrBE) ,AB-8 macroporous resin 30% alcohol part and 60% alcohol part had obvious antimicrobial efficacy. The carbon clearance test showed HrBN had a good effect in im-proving immune function, and it can increase the K and α. Conclusion HrBN in animal models exerts good skin healing and repairing efficacy, which might be related to its antibacterial activity and immunologic enhancement function.

Objective To investigate the drug resistance of side population cells in human gallbladder cancer cell line GBC-SD and explore its mechanism. Methods Drug sensitivity assays of 5chemotherapeutic agents were performed on side population cells (SP) and non-SP cells of GBC-SD.GBC-SD was cultured and then treated with the chemotherapeutic agent gemcitabine. The frequency of SP by FACS was measured. RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of AB-CG2 in both the SP and the corresponding non-SP subsets. Results After 1 d treatment with 4 chemotherapeutic agents (gemcitabine, cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil and mitoxantrone) in IC50 concentration to GBC-SD cell line, the reproductive ability of SP was higher than that of non-SP (P<0.05). However, statistical significance was not achieved when compared with epirubicin (P>0.05). The percentage of SP in GBC-SD treated with chemotherapeutic agent gemcitabine after 3 weeks was sharply elevated by FACS (8.02% ±0.13% vs 0.62% ±0.08%, P<0.05), and the expression of ABCG2mRNA and protein were increased in SP as compared with non-SP. Conclusion SP from human gallbladder cancer cell line GBC-SD, like stem cell, showed a heighten resistance to drugs. Increased expression of ABCG2 was largely responsible for the multi-drug resistance.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of the infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) for better prevention and treatment of CRPA infections. Methods A retrospective study was conducted to compare the features of CRPA infections (n=85) and carbapenem-susceptible P. aeruginosa (CSPA) infections (n=94) treated in Huashan Hospital from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. Results? The?proportion?of?CRPA?infections?was?significantly?higher?than CSPA in Neurosurgery (40.0% versus 16.0%) and Intensive Care Unit (22.4%, 9.6%). Traumatic brain injury (30.6%) and vascular accidents (21.2%) were the main underlying diseases in CRPA patients, which was higher than in CSPA patients (11.7%and?8.5%,?respectively).?CRPA?infection?was?associated?with?significantly?higher?incidence?of?fever,?altered?mental?status,?and?severe hypoproteinemia than CSPA infection. Multiple bacterial infection was found in more CRPA patients (45.9%, 39/85) than in CSPA patients (24.5%, 23/94). Fewer CRPA patients showed positive treatment response (44.7%, 38/85) than CSPA patients (78.7%, 74/94). CRPA was associated with significantly more cases of disease progression (55.3%, 47/85) and more deaths (16.5%, 14/85) than CSPA (21.3% and 1.1%, respectively). Logistic regression analysis indicated that stay in Department of Neurosurgery, prior carbapenem use, peripherally inserted central catheter, nasal feeding, and mechanical ventilation were the risk factors for CRPA infection. Conclusions No specific clinical manifestation is associated with CRPA infection, which poses a therapeutic challenge and results in unfavorable prognosis. Rational use of antibacterial agents and appropriate supporting treatments are essential for control of CRPA in Huashan Hospital.

LI Dong-yuan discussed the pathogenesis and treatment of "atrophic debility of bones" in his writings. This article explained and summarized the pathogenesis of atrophic debility of bones in LI's works. LI held that the pathogenesis of atrophic debility of bones is divided into damp-heat, overabundant yin leading to yang hyperactivity, and overabundant yin leading to insufficient yang. Combined with clinical observation, this article considered that the LI's atrophic debility of bones is similar to renal osteopathy in terms of disease name, clinical manifestation and pathogenesis. Therefore it put forward to the treatment of renal osteodystrophy from LI's theory. The methods of treatment were invigorating splenic yang and dehumidify, moistening dryness and tonifying kidney, replenishing qi, purging yin fire, raising yang and lifting prolapsed zang-fu organs, and expeling wind and removing dampness.
