Abstract: Objective To analyze the drug sensitivity and the carrying of carbapenem resistant gene of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from clinical patients and clinical objects, and analyze the homology of strains to provide support for the control of nosocomial infection. Methods A total of 38 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from patients and clinical objects surface were collected from January 2019 to August 2020. The antimicrobial susceptibility was tested by the minimum inhibitory concentration method. In addition, the resistance related genes were detected by polymerase chain reaction method, and homology analysis was performed by enterobacterial repetitive Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus Polymerase Chain Reaction (ERIC-PCR). Results All 34 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from Clinical patients and 4 strains isolated from clinical objects carried blaOXA-51 and imp resistance genes, neither of them carried blaVIM gene. 32 Acinetobacter baumannii carrying blaOXA-23 gene, 28 strains carrying blaTEM gene, 7 strains carrying blaOXA-58 gene. After cluster analysis, 38 Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were classified into 7 genotypes (expressed A, B, C, D, E, F, G), and cluster E and cluster G were the main clusters, containing 12 strains (12/38, 31.6%) and 18 strains (18/38, 47.4%), respectively, as the main prevalent clonal strains. Conclusions Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from different sources have the significant differences in drug resistance and carry different resistance genes. There is no direct correlation between patients and environmental isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii belonging to different clonal strains. Also, there aren’t significant correlation between clinical patients infected with Acinetobacter baumannii.

In this study, 31 Notopterygium incisum populations were analyzed using ITS sequences to investigate the genetic structure. The results showed that: the ITS region ranged in size from 634 to 635 bp and base composition was with high G + C content of 57.8%. Thirty-one polymorphic sites were detected from 402 sequences of 31 populations of N. incisum, and the proportion of polymorphic sites was 4.88%, in which parsimony informative sites were up to 12. And 31 haplotypes were identified based on these polymorphic sites. Molecular variance analysis (AMOVA) indicated that high genetic differentiation (57%) existed among population, and gene flow was low (N(m) = 0.38) among populations. Phylogenetic relationships of 31 haplotypes were analyzed using NJ method with N. forbesiias an out-group. Phylogenetic analysis showed that 31 haplotypes from different populations mixed together and did not form distinct geographically separated clades.

Targeting dosage form is a kind of targeting drug delivery system which can be used to lock drugs aroud the target organs, tissues, cells and obtain more effective treatment for dose concentration, thus reducing the side-effects of such drugs while increasing their effeciveness. Targeting dosage form is the fourth-generation drug dosage form and it is ideal system for administration because it release the theraping drugs in the targeting-site. Particular emphasis was placed on liposome due to it was used as a drug carrier. Meanwhile, the highlights of research were on magnetic and enzyme targeting preparations. In addition, oral colon targeting drug delivery system, drugs were carried to ileocecum and release to get local and whole effect, is also an important part of targeting dosage form. The study on traditional chinese medicine (TCM) targeting dosage form is still at beginning stage in China. At present, most of study on TCM and natural products targeting drugs were focus on simple effective component and merely on TCM effective positions in relative with the difficult for determing their quality standard and procedure of preparing. It is the kernel item for TCM modernization and the key for TCM internationalization to develop new dosage form and new technology of TCM. There is a need in collaboration with multiple discipline. It will be a important research subject to develop TCM targeting preparation in the near future. TCM targeting dosage form can be classified into liposome, nanoparticles, multiple emulsion etc according to the difference of carrier and oral, rectal, colonic, nasal, dermal, ocular system on a basis of administration and so on. This paper made a summary on TCM and natural products targeting dosage form according to different targeting positions and introduce the procedure of preparing compared with the effect in vivo and manifest that TCM and natural products targeting dosage form will have good exploit prospect.

Objective To explore the incidence,clinical status,risk factors and outcomes of invasive fungal infections(IFIs)after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) in pediatric patients.Methods Forty-one Patients who were underwent Allo-HSCT were selected from 2005 to 2006. Of 41 patients, 24 were boys and 17 were girls,aged 2-13 years old. Twenty-six cases with ?-thalassemia, 1 case with adrenoleukodystrophy,and the left 14 cases with other hematologic disorders.Twenty patients underwent bone marrow transplantation,19 patients underwent peripheral blood stem cell transplantation,2 patients underwent bone marrow transplantation and cord blood transplantation.Fourteen patients received Allo-HSCT from HLA-matched sibling donors or HLA mis-matched parents, 27 patients received Allo-HSCT from unrelated donors. Based on different types of transplant, patients were conditioned with busulfan, cyclophosphamide and Anti-thymocyte immune globulin. Fludalabine, total body irration, thiotepa or melphalan was used additionly in some cases. Cyclosporine A and mycophnolate mofetil were used as prophylaxis of graft versus host disease (GVHD).Results IFIs was observed in 5 cases(5/41 cases,12.2%),this comprised cases of proven,probable and possible IFIs at rates of 2.4%,4.9%,4.9%.The time of IFIs was 9-120 d after transplantation,the majority of IFIs in 3/5 cases(60%)children occurred within the first month.The difference of IFIs between patients who recived high-dose corticosteroid and those with no or conventional-dose corticosteroid was significant(?2=8.201 P=0.004);Regarding conditioning regimens,the IFIs of patients who with Thiotepa (TT) was significanthy higher than that of compared with those without TT(?2=9.549 P=0.002).The total effective rate was 40%.The effective rates of the patients with confimed diagnosis,cli-nical diagnosis,and with recommended diagnosis respectively were 100%,0 and 50% respectively.Conclusions IFIs is an important complication after Allo-HSCT,and the high-dose corticosteroid therapy and conditioning regimens with TT are the risky factors for IFIs.Aspergillus is the main pathogen bacteria.
