Objective To explore the effect of antimicrobial use density (AUD) on the detection rate of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and antimicrobial resistance rate of healthcare-associated Staphylococcus aureus (HA-SA) half a year later.Methods From 2012 to 2015,all types of AUD,detection rate of MRSA,and antimicrobial resistance rate of HA-SA were calculated semiannually,correlation between antimicrohial resistance rate of HA-SA and all types of AUD in the same first half of year were analyzed with correlation analysis and multiple linear regression.Results From the first half of 2012 to the latter half of 2015,the total AUD declined from 128.2 to 49.0,except the AUD of carbapenems rose,AUD of other antimicrobial agents declined.From the latter half of 2012 to the latter half of 2015,104 249 patients were admitted to the hospital,and 1 008 strains of SA were isolated from 40 884 specimens,857 (85.02％) of which were community-associated SA(CA SA) and 151 (14.98％) were HA-SA.Isolation rate of HA-MRSA declined from 31.25％ in the latter half of 2012 to 12.50％ in the latter half of 2015;isolation rate of CA-MRSA rose from 7.08％ to 16.08％,resistance rate of HA-SA was generally higher than that of CA-SA.Antimicrobial resistance rate of HA-SA to ciprofloxacin remained the same,to levofloxacin increased,to 8 other antimicrobial agents all declined;resistance rates of CA-SA to oxacillin,ciprofloxacin,clindamycin,gentamicin,and levofloxacin increased,but to other antimicrobial agents declined;no SA strains was found to be resistant to vancomycin and linezolid.The resistance rate of HA-SA to azithromycin and erythrocin was correlated with the AUD of macrolides,resistance rate of HA-SA to clindamycin was correlated wvith the AUD of aminoglycosides,to gentamicin was correlated with the AUD of macrolides and the total AUD.Conclusion The selective pressure of antimicrobial agents is still the important cause of the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance,decreasing the AUD of antimicrobial agents will help for reducing the detection rate of HA-MRSA and drug resistance rate of HA-SA.

To study the effect of tTG fully phosphorothioated antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (tTG-ASDON) on tTG expression in cultured bovine trabecular meshwork cells (BTMCs) in vitro and explore a new treatment alternative for primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), the ASDON1 and ASDON2 complementary to the protein codogram region of tTG were designed, synthesized and phosphorothioated according to the secondary structure of tTG. The ASDON1 and ASDON2 were embedded in Lipofectamine and transfected into BTMCs. The untreated group served as negative controls. The expression of tTG in the mRNA and protein level were measured by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemical technique-Supervision method respectively. Our results showed that both the mRNA and the protein of tTG with tTG-ASDON and tTG-ASDON2 were significantly decreased as compared with that of the controls (P < 0.05). On the other hand, no significant difference was found between the ASDON1 group and the ASDON2 group. It is concluded that the expression of tTG mRNA and protein in cultured BTMC are down-regulated by tTG- ASDON. As a result, tTG-ASDON may be used for the treatment of POAG through the inhibitory effect on the expression of tTG.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of the Hubei Wingnut ( Malus hapehensis ) leaf decoction (MHD) against conjunctivitis infected with human simplex virus type I (HSV-1). Methods Malus hupehcnsis decoction was used as the active treatment and ribavirin ( RBV) eye drop was used as the positive control. Both of the Vero cells and rabbit eye conjunctiva were infected with HSV-1. The effect and mechanism of the MHD on viral replication was determined by observing the cytopathic effect ( CPE) . The efficacy of MHD at different doses on the rabbit viral conjunctivitis was examined by pathological changes of eye conjunctiva tissues. Results MHD did not inhibit the proliferation of HSV-1 in vitro. The inflammatory reactions of rabbit viral conjunctivitis caused by HSV-1 were obviously attenuated or disappeared after treatment with MHD at 6 kg·L-1 and 3 kg·L-1 for 7 consecutive days,compared with the negative control of 0. 9% NaCl. The curative rate of MHD at the middle and high doses was 83. 3% and 100. 0%, respectively. Conclusion MHD has the potential for treating eye conjunctivitis caused by HSV-1 by relieving inflammation.

To evaluate the effect of dexamethasone on the expression of aquaporin-1 (AQP-1) in cultured bovine trabecular meshwork cells, bovine trabecular meshwork cells were cultured in vitro and reproduced to the third and the fourth generation, then treated with dexamethasone at the concentrations of 5, 25, 50, 250 microg/L respectively for 7 days. Immunohistochemical technique-supervision method was employed to measure, and image analysis system to analyze the expression of AQP-1 in normal cultured bovine trabecular meshwork cells and those treated with dexamethasone. In normal bovine trabecular meshwork cells, the grayscale of AQP-1 positive staining was 167.94 +/- 1.18, while it was 168.92 +/- 0.91, 176.72 +/- 1.80, 180.64 +/- 1.31, 185.64 +/- 1.58 in cells treated with 5, 25, 50, 250 microg/L concentrations of dexamethasone. When the concentration of dexamethasone was higher than 25 microg/L, the expression of AQP-1 was significantly inhibited (P < 0.05). The regulation of AQP-1 expression by dexamethasone in cultured bovine trabecular meshwork cells in vitro may be one of causes that retard the aqueous outflow in glucocorticoid- induced glaucoma.

In order to elucidate the effect of dexamethasone on the expression of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) in ciliary pigment epithelial (CPE) cells cultured in vitro, rabbit CPE cells were cultured in vitro, treated with DMEM medium containing 0, 1 x 10(-8), 5 x 10(-8), 10 x 10(-8) and 50 x 10(-8) mol/L dexamethasone respectively for 5 days. The TGF-beta1 expression was detected by immunohistochemistry Supervision methods and analyzed semi-quantitatively by HMIAS-2000 image system. As opposed to in vivo, rabbit CPE cells expressed TGF-beta1 under cultured circumstance in vitro. The gray scales of the positive yellow staining in the groups of 1 x 10(-8), 5 x 10(-8), 10 x 10(-8) and 50 x 10(-8) mol/L dexamethasone were 136.57 +/- 4.43, 140.20 +/- 6.10, 142.98 +/- 2.99, 146.80 +/- 1.68 and 150.05 +/- 1.94 respectively. When the concentrations of dexamethasone were equal to or higher than 5 x 10(-8) mol/L and, the expression of TGF-beta1 was inhibited. 10(-7) mol/L dexamethasone showed a significant inhibition. It was suggested that CPE cells possess the potential ability of synthesizing and expressing TGF-beta1. The inhibition of TGF-beta1 expression by dexamethasone may be beneficial to the treatment of proliferative vitroretinopathy, also exert some influence on the secretion of aqueous humor and ciliary inflammation.

In order to elucidate the effect of dexamethasone on the expression of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) in ciliary pigment epithelial (CPE) cells cultured in vitro, rabbit CPE cells were cultured in vitro, treated with DMEM medium containing 0,1×10-8 , 5×10-8 , 10 × 10-8 and 50×10-8 mol/L dexamethasone respectively for 5 days. The TGF-β1 expression was detected by immunohistochemistry Supervision methods and analyzed semi-quantitatively by HMIAS-2000 image system.

The gray scales of the positive yellow staining in the groups of 1×10-8, 5×10-8, 10×10-8 and 50× 10-8 mol/L dexamethasone were 136. 57±4.43, 140. 20±6.10, 142.98±2. 99, 146. 80± 1.68 and 150. 05± 1.94 respectively. When the concentrations of dexamethasone were equal to or higher than 5×10-8 mol/L and, the expression of TGF-β1 was inhibited. 10-7 mol/L dexamethasone showed a significant inhibition. It was suggested that CPE cells possess the potential ability of synthesizing and expressing TGF-β1. The inhibition of TGF-β1 expression by dexamethasone may be beneficial to the treatment of proliferative vitroretinopathy, also exert some influence on the secretion of aqueous humor and ciliary inflammation.
