Objective To investigate the possible effects of aspirin and indomethacin on the growth of Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori) and the effects of aspirin on the susceptibility of H.pylori to some antimicrobials. Methods Kinetic studies of H.pylori were performed by inoculating strains in Brucella broth with different concentrations of aspirin and indomethacin. Growth of bacteria in the broth was assessed spectrophotometrically and by viable colony count after incubation for 24 and 48 hours. Bacteria morphology was studied by Gram stain under light microscopy. MICs of aspirin and indomethacin were determined by standard agar dilution method. MICs of amoxicillin, clarithromycin and metronidazole were measured in the presence and in the absence of aspirin by E test method. Results Kinetic studies revealed that aspirin and indomethacin inhibited the growth of H.pylori in a dose dependent manner and the bactericidal activities of these agents were due to cell lysis. Aspirin at 400 ?g/ml produced about 2 logs decrease in CFU per milliliter at 48 hours. The assemble inhibition effects were obtained when 100 ?g/ml indomethacin tested. The MIC 90 of H.pylori for aspirin and indomethacin were 512 ?g/ml and 128 ?g/ml, respectively. Increased susceptibility to amoxicillin, clarithromycin and metronidazole of H. pylori were induced by aspirin. Conclusions Aspirin and indomethacin could significantly inhibit the growth of H.pylori when incubated in Brucella broth in vitro. A subinhibitory concentration of aspirin enhanced the susceptibility of H. pylori to antimicrobial agents.

Objective To investigate the early diagnostic value and prognostic significance of serum procalcitonin (PCT) in patients with sepsis. Methods Ninety cases between December 2008 and April 2009 were collected. According to the 1991 ACCP/SCCM and 2001 SCCM/ESICM/ACCP/ATS/SIS sepsis diagnosis criteria,they were divided into sepsis group (50 cases), nonbacterial systemic inflammation syndrome group (SIRS group, 17 cases) and control group (23 cases). Sepsis group was divided into two subgroups (survival group and death group) according to 28-day prognosis Dynamic changes of serum PCT, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), white blood cell (WBC), and neutrophil count percentage (N) on the 1st, 4th day after admission was monitored,meanwhile, the maximal body temperature was recorded. Results The serum PCT level of sepsis group on the 1st day was higher than that in SIRS group and control group,and the difference was statistically significant [6.68 μg/L(1.16-12.46 μg/L) vs 0.22 μg/L(0.05-0.54 μg/L) vs 0.05 μg/L(0.05-0.27 μg/L), P < 0.05]. The serum PCT level of death group was higher than that in survival group,and the difference was statistically significant[11.89μg/L (10.00-28.67 μg/L) vs 2.44 μg/L(1.11-10.00 μg/L),P<0.05]. In sepsis group,serum PCT was positively correlated with APACHE Ⅱ score(r = 0.511, P = 0.000). The area under the ROC curve of PCT was bigger than that of CRP,WBC,N and ESR. The serum PCT level of survival group gradually decreased to normal level after the therapy,but the serum PCT level of death group didn't decrease significantly. Conclusions Serum PCT is a better biomarker in the early diagnosis of sepsis,and its sensitivity and specificity is superior to other inflammation parameters. It positively correlates with the severity of sepsis and can predict the prognosis.

Objective To observe the effect of moxibustion on the proliferation of neural stem cells after cerebral ischemia- reperfusion in rat models.Method The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was developed by using modified Zea-Longa method. Seventy-two Wistar rats were randomized into group A (sham-operation group), group B (model group) and group C (moxibustion group). Each group was then further divided into 4 sub-groups according to different time points: 3 d, 7 d, 14 d, and 21 d, 6 rats in each sub-group. For each group, Baihui (GV 20) and bilateral Taiyang (EX-HN 5) were selected to study. The proliferated cells were marked by intraperitoneal injection of BrdU, and TTC staining and HE staining were adopted to detect the pathological changes of brain tissues after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. Immunohistochemical method was used to dynamically detect the positive expressions of BrdU and Nestin cells in DG and SVZ zones at different time points, and microscope image analysis was taken to study the positive expressions.Result The neurological deficit score in group C was significantly lower than that in group B at each time point (P<0.05). The neurological deficit score in group C was significantly different from that in group B at the same time point (P<0.05). Moxibustion can up-regulate the expression of BrdU in SVZ and DG, and the increase started from the 3rd day and reached the peak on the 7th day. The increase of BrdU expression in group C was more significant than that in group B (P<0.05). Moxibustion can up-regulate the expression of Nestin in SVZ and DG, and the increase started from the 3rd day and reached the peak on the 7th day. The increase of Nestin expression in group C was more significant than that in group B (P<0.05).Conclusion Moxibustion can remarkably promote the recovery of nerve function and the proliferation of BrdU and Nestin after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats.
