Objective:To observe the e ect of Gongqing grain on the expression of Caspase-3 and Caspase-8 in the human's villi and decidua in early pregnancy teminated by drug,discuss the mechanism of Gongqing grain protecting and treating hemorrhage after drug-induced abortion.Methods:180 patients were divided into three groups randomly:Gongqing grain group,Qianzhi capsule group and drug abortion group,and arti cial abortion group(n=60)was set.The immunohistochemical method was used to observe the expressions of Caspase-3、8 in the villi and deciduas.Results:The level of Caspase-3、8 in the villi and deciduas decreased more signi cantly in Gongqing grain group than the other three groups(P

Objective To investigate the antimicrobial resistance profile of the Streptococcus pneumoniae strains isolated from respiratory tract of children in Zhongshan Boai Hospital, Guangdong Province for better management of such infections. Methods The sputum samples were collected from respiratory tract of children in pediatric outpatient and inpatient from May 2013 to August 2017. S. pneumoniae strains were isolated and identified and their susceptibility to antimicrobial agentswas determined. Results The prevalence of S. pneumoniae was 10.6% (2 963/28 006) in the sputum samples. S. pneumoniae was mainly isolated from children under 6 years old, and relatively higher in winter and spring. About 43.0% of the S. pneumoniae isolates was associated with mixed infection, especially Moraxella catarrhalis and Haemophilus influenzae. About 6.0% of the S. pneumoniae isolates were non-susceptible to penicillin, 59.3% non-susceptible to ceftriaxone, and more than 95% non-susceptible to erythromycin, clindamycin or tetracycline. However, more than 95% of the isolates were susceptible to chloramphenicol or ofloxacin. No S. pneumoniae isolate was found resistant to rifampin, linezolid or vancomycin. Conclusions The respiratory tract infection caused by S. pneumoniae of children is increasing year by year, which is associated with age, season, and higher rate of mixed infection. These data showed that penicillin non-susceptible S. pneumoniae is highly prevalent in Zhongshan. More than 95% of the S. pneumoniae isolates from children are resistant to erythromycin, clindamycin or tetracycline. S. pneumoniae isolates should be closely monitored for the emergence of multidrug resistant strains. Appropriate control measures must be taken according to the results of susceptibility testing.
