Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 2009;0(16):-
OBJECTIVE To study drug-resistance status in nosocomial infection with Staphylococcus in the local region,and take effective measures to control the nosocomial infection.METHODS Totally 129 strains of Staphylococcus were clinically isolated from various specimens from Jan 2006 to Dec 2008.The strain identification,detection of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus(MRS) and K-B disk diffusion test were performed.The data were analyzed statistically.RESULTS Among all 129 strains consisting of 6 species of Staphylococcus,the isolating rate of S.aureus predominated with 39.5%.Among them,meticillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA) accounted for 29.4%.Among all coagulase-negative Staphyloccocus(CNS),meticillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(MRCNS) accounted for 32.1%.Meticillin-susceptible S.aureus(MSSA) showed significantly lower drug-resistance than MRS.CONCLUSIONS Nosocomial infection status caused by MRS is serious in the grass-roots hospitals.Effective measures should be taken to control it.

China Medical Equipment 2016;13(12):77-80
Objective:To explore and assess the clinical application and clinical value of dual helical CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of knee bone tumor. Methods: Sixty-nine patients with knee bone tumors were randomly divided into three groups: group A, group B and group C. Group A was detected by double-helical CT scanning; group B was detected by MRI; group C was detected by dual-helical CT scan combined with MRI. After the end of the testing, the clinical diagnostic results of the three detection methods were compared.Results: There was no significant difference between group A and B (x2=0.825,P>0.05). The detection rate of group C was higher than that of group A. The differences were statistically significant (x2=2.936,x2=3.718;P<0.05). The detection rate of group C was significantly higher than that of group B. The differences were statistically significant (x2=3.967,x2=4.285;P<0.05).Conclusion: Double helical CT combined with MRI can effectively improve the clinical detection rate of knee bone tumor.

Expression levels of TGF-β1 mRNA in renal cortex of control group, diabetic group and taurine group measured by real-time quantitative RT-PCR were (7.0±0.8)×10 -3, (64.4±8.0)×10 -3 and (16.7±2.0)×10 -3, respectively. The corresponding results with end-point RT-PCR method were 0.28±0.12,0.58±0.16 and 0.43±0.10, respectively. Compared with end-point RT-PCR method, real-time quantitative with SYBR Green I was easier, faster, sensitive and specific.

Objective To investigate the effects of penehyclidine hydrochloride (PHCD) pretreatment on expression of NF-κB and iNOS in rats with LPS-induced brain injury. Methods One hundred and five male SD rats weighing 200-220 g were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=21 each): group Ⅰ normal saline (NS);group Ⅱ LPS (L);group Ⅲ,Ⅳ,Ⅴ PHCD 0.05, 0.15, 0.45 mg/kg (D1,2,3). The animals were anesthetized with chloral hydrate 350 mg/kg. Brain injury was induced by intra-arterial LPS 150 μg administered via left internal carotid artery in group Ⅱ-Ⅴ. In group Ⅲ,Ⅳ, and Ⅴ PHCD 0.05, 0.15 and 0.45 mg/kg were given intraperitoneally (IP) at 10 min before intra-arterial LPS. The animals were decapitated at 4, 6 and 12 h after administration of PHCD (n=7 at each time point in each group). The brains were immediately removed for determination of water content, expression of NF-κB and iNOS protein and examination with light and electron microscope. Results Water content of the brain and expression of NF-κB and iNOS protein were significantly higher in group L, D1, D2 and D3 than in group NS and were significantly lower in group D2 and D3 than in group L. Intra-arterial LPS produced severe damage to the brain which was significantly attenuated by PHCD in group D2 and D3. Conclusion PHCD 0.15,0.45 mg/kg pretreatment can attenuate LPS-induced brain injury by inhibiting the up-regulation of expression of NF-κB and iNOS.

AIM To establish the method for the enzyme assay of dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH) in rabbit kidney and to determine the optimal condition for the assaying. METHODS Five healthy Japanese rabbits weighing 3 0 to 3 5 Kg were killed by air embolism,kidneys were harvested and then were homogenized. Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) was used as the substrate for DDAH. UV 265 spectrophotometer was applied to determine the amount of the enzymatic product L Citrulline( L Cit).The amount of L Cit produced under different conditions was compared and the optimal condition was screened. The kinetic parameters of ADMA degraded by DDAH were calculated. RESULTS The kinetic parameters of ADMA degraded by DDAH were as follows: K m=(0 28?0 10) mmol?L -1 , V m=(1 36?0 42) mmol?L -1 ?g -1 ?min -1 . The optimal conditions for the enzyme assay of DDAH in rabbit kidney determined in this study follow: The concentration of the enzyme protein was 12 g?L -1 ,the optimal pH of the buffer was 7 4,the final concentration of ADMA was 2 mmol?L -1 ,and the reaction time was 30 min. CONCLUSION The method offered here is easily done. The concentration of the substrate determined in this study was based on the value of Km,thus it was beneficial to the accurate assay of DDAH.
