Objective To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of the gram positive bacteria isolates from hospital in Chongqing during 2006-2011 .Methods Non-repetitive gram positive bacterias were collected retrospectively from ten hospitals in Chongqing .Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of all clinical isolates were carried out using Kirby-Bauer(KB) .Results 14 473 strains were isolated .There were 4 840 strains of Staphylococcus aureus (33 .4% ) ,2 566 strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis (17 .7% ) ,1 822 strains of Staphylococcus haemolyticus (12 .6% ) ,1 325 strains of Enterococcus (E .faecalis/E .faecium )(9 .2% ) . Staphylococcus was highly sensitive to nitrofurantoin ,rifampicin ,piperacillin/tazobactam ,linezolid ,teicoplanin and vancomycin ,but their resistance rate to ampicillin/sulbactam ,oxacillin ,penicillin and clarithromycin was high .The resistance rate of E .faecium to the majority of antimicrobial agents was obviously higher than that of E .faecalis ,excluding imipenem ,chloramphenicol and tetracy-cline .Vancomycin and linezolid still remain the strongest antibacterial activity to Enterococcus .Conclusion The distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria in Chongqing present regional particularity ,and antibiotic resistance is severe .It is significant to strengthen the epidemiology study of pathogenic bacteria and to develop policies to intervene in the use of antimicrobial agents .

Objective To investigate the influence of flufenamic acid (FFA) on gap junction intercellular communication in vascu-lar smooth muscle cells(VSMC) in situ of acutely isolated arteriole segments .Methods Whole-cell patch clamp recordings were used to study the effects of FFA on membrane input capacitance (Cinput ) ,membrane input conductance(Ginput ) or membrane input re-sistance(Rinput ) of VSMCs embedded in arteriole segments .Results FFA concentration-dependently and reversibly suppressed Ginput or increased Rinput ,with an IC50 of 56 and 33μmol/L in acutely isolated mesenteric artery(MA) and brain artery(BA) segments re-spectively .There was not significant difference between MA and BA (P> 0 .05) .After application of FFA (≥ 300 μmol/L) ,the Cinput ,Ginput and Rinput of the in situ cells were very close to the respective dispersed cell in MA and BA .Conclusion FFA is a reversi-ble gap junction blocker ,achieving a complete electrical isolation of the recorded VSMC at ≥300 μmol/L .FFA suggesting a homo-geneous property of the gap junctions between MA and BA .

Chongqing Medicine 2014;(5):558-560
Objective To observe the factors that affect cryosurvival of frozen-thawed embryos .Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 98 patients undergoing FET with two embryos of which one was complete cryosurvival and the other not .1∶1 matched samples logistic regression analysis was employed to observe the influence of cytoplasm with granulation ,vacuolar cyto-plasm ,embryo fragments ,blastomere number and equality of size on the cryosurvival of frozen-thawed embryos .Results Presence of vacuolar cytoplasm(OR=13 .413) or embryo fragments(OR= 1 .101) significantly increased blasstomere damage ,but the in-creased blastomere number(OR=0 .569) decreased it(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Embryos with vacuolar cytoplasm ,or embryo frag-ments and blastomere number are very vital factors that affect the blastomere damage after cryopreservation .
