Methods The clinical data of 6 patients with MRSA infection occurring at the same time in ICU were reviewed retrospectively. Results Vancomycin was given in 4 cases, 250mg twice daily, and teicoplanin was given in one case, 400mg once daily. MRSA cultures were negative in 5 cases after antibiotic treatment. Conclusions MRSA infection occurs frequently in ICU patients, and it spreads readily. Antibiotic treatment, isolation and bacteriological monitoring are very important measures for control of MRSA infection in ICU patients. [HS(1*2/3]

The current mental health of college students can not be optimistic.This paper summarized college students' psychological crisis from the perspectives of psychological crisis and crisis intervention,came up with updated research outcomes and deficiencies,and pointed out the direction of its future research and development.

Objective To evaluate the clinical diagnostic significance of clinical laboratory indexes of anti-CCP,rheumatoid factor (RF),C reactive protein(CRP)and erythrocyte sedimentation rate(SR)in rheumatoid arthritis.Methods Anti-CCP,RF and CRP were quantitatively tested in 90 patients confirmed as rheumatoid arthritis(RA)and 93 patients with non-rheumatoid arthritis(non-RA)diseases by the electrochemiluminescence immunoassay(ECLIA),immunization rate scattering turbidimetry,etc.T test results were performed the statistical and comprehensive analysis by using the ROC curves.Results The levels of anti-CCP and RF had statistical differences between the RA group and the non-RA group(P <0.05 ),while there was no statistically significant differ-ences in the levels of CRP and SR(P >0.05 ).The areas under ROC curves(AUC)of anti-CCP,RF,CRP and SR were 94.0%, 84.0%,51.7% and 56.5% respectively;the sensitivity of anti-CCP and RF was 90.0% and 74.4% respectively,while the specifici-ty was 94.6% and 86% respectively;the Youden indexes were 84.6%and 60.4% respectively;the diagnostic sensitivity of CRP was only 52.2% and the diagnostic specificity of SR was only 50.5%.Conclusion Anti-CCP and RF have the good diagnostic value for RA,moreover the diagnostic performance of anti-CCP is better than RF;CRP and SR have the poor diagnostic preformance,the combination of above indexes has more clinical significance for diagnosing RA.

[Summary] Dyslipidemia after organ transplantation is one of the important risk factors of postoperative cardiovascular disease and graft dysfunction. There are many factors that result in postoperative dyslipidemia. However, the factors influencing serum lipid levels are changing with the development of organ transplantation. In this article the effects of different anti-rejection drugs such as cyclosporine, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, tacrolimus, rapamycin ( sirolimus ) , corticosteroids, and monoclonal antibody on dyslipidemia after organ transplantation were summarized in different eras.

OBJECTIVETo comparatively observe the curative effect, adverse reaction and compliance of Modified Xiaoyao Pill combining amitriptyline (MXP-At) in treating patients with depression.

METHODSSixty-four patients with diagnosis of depression matched to the Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders (CCMD-3) were randomly assigned to 2 groups, the treatment group treated with MXP-At and the control group with fluoxeline, 32 cases in each group. The curative effect was evaluated by Hamilton depression (HAMD) scale and the adverse reaction was recorded before treatment and at the 2nd, 4th and 12th week of the treatment. Patients were regularly followed up from the 12th week to the 24 th week. The curative effect and compliance in the two groups were compared.

RESULTSThe HAMD score dropped in both groups from the 2nd week of the treatment, and at that time, it was lower in the control group than that in the treatment group (P < 0.05); but at the 4th week, no significant difference was found in the therapeutic effect and the HAMD score between the two groups. However, 3 and 14 cases in the treatment and the control group were relapsed during the 12 weeks of follow-up respectively.

CONCLUSIONMXP-At shows a curative effect similar to fluoxetine on depression but with less adverse reaction, and is not expensive.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of body weight supported treadmill training (BWSTT) for the recovery of walking ability and comprehensive function after thoracolumbar spinal cord injury (SCI).Methods Sixty patients with SCIs in a thoracolumbar segment were assigned to a treatment group or a control group with 30 in each.Both groups received similar conventional rehabilitation training,but the patients in the treatment group were additionally treated with BWSTT (30 to 40 min,once daily,5 d/week,30 days for a course,a total 3 courses).The American Spinal Injury Association lower-extremity motor function assessment (ASIA),a functional comprehensive assessment (FCA),the walking ability assessment from the FCA (WA) and the modified Barthel index (MB1) were used in the assessment of the two groups before and after treatment.Results There were no significant differences in the two groups＇ average ASIA,FCA,WA or MBI results before treatment.After treatment ASIA,FCA,WA and MBI scores had all increased significantly in the treatment group compared with before treatment,and were significantly higher than in the control group.Conclusion As a supplement to conventional rehabilitation,BWSTT can improve walking ability and comprehensive function significantly after thoracolumbar spinal cord injury.

Objective To investigate the improve effects of environmental enrichment on maternal behavior in the adult female rats thatexperienced early-life stress,and to explore the molecular biological mechanism.Methods The newborn Wistar rats were divided into two groups randomly,the early life stress group and the control group.Pups from the former were separated from their mothers once per day for 4 hours from PND 2-21 (day of birth was considered PND =0),and suffered vicious stimulus during the daily 4 hours maternal separation from PND 8-21.On PND 22(weaning),pups from the early life stress group were divided into two groups:12 female pups were reared singly,refered to as isolated-rearing group; another 12 were placed in a big cage that was filled with all sorts of rodents toys,refered to as enriched-rearing group; control female pups were placed in groups of 4 per cage.Mating with male rats when female pups reached PND66,then being placed in cages singly when they were detected pregnant.Maternal behavior was evaluated on the second and sixth day after delivery,and the hypothalamic OTR mRNA levels were examined by RT-PCR.Results The results of maternal behavior observation showed that the total time of retrieve and the latency of licking were significantly longer in isolated-rearing rats compared with the normal and the enriched-rearing rats (P ＜ 0.01) ; total time of licking in enriched-rearing rats was longer than the normal and the isolated-rearing rats(P＜0.01) on the sixth day after delivery;and the score of the nest building was obviously lower in isolated-rearing rats,especially on the sixth day after delivery(P ＜ 0.01).Hypothalamic OTR mRNA levels in the isolated-rearing rats showed strongly decreased compared with the normal rats(P＜0.01),but which close to normal levels in enriched-rearing rats.Conclusion Early life stress can damage some components of maternal behavior,such as retrieval,licking,nest building,but it has no obvious effect on crouching behavior; it also decreases the hypothalamic OTR mRNA levels of the adult female rats; as a kind of early environmental intervention,groups-rearing could make hypothalamic OTR mRNA levels of the female rats that subjected to early life stress restore to normal,and thus reverse the disruptions of stress in maternal behavior.

The individual intervention control of risk factors in high-risk population is one of key preventive measures of chronic disease.A total of 312 volunteers consulted physicians in one selected community.And 23 high-risk individuals of chronic disease were screened.The physicians customized the limit or requirement of diet,activity,tobacco and alcohol for each individual and made interventions of life behaviors according to the plans.The results showed that physical state of 20 (87％) of them converted from high-risk to health after interventions.Therefore customized control plan of individual risk factors is an effective control method of chronic disease.
