OBJECTIVE To investigate the resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from two hospitals and its chlorhexidine-sulfadiazine-resistant genes(qacE△1-sul1). METHODS Microdilution tests were performed to detect the susceptibility of 66 strains of P.aeruginosa to 6 kinds of antimicrobial agents.The qacE△1-sul1 gene was analyzed by PCR. RESULTS The resistant rates to other antimicrobial agents were between 12.5-87.5%.qacE△1-sul1 gene was 50.0%. CONCLUSIONS The 66 strains are multiple-drug-resistant.There are very high positive percentages of qacE△1-sul1 gene in P.aeruginosa isolated from two hospitals.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. It mainly occurs in young and middle-aged people and has a high disability rate. The pathogenesis of MS has not been fully elucidated, with great genetic heterogeneity, diverse clinical phenotypes, lack of specific biomarkers, numerous and complicated research data, which bring great challenges to the diagnosis and treatment of MS. Artificial intelligence (AI), as the cutting-edge hotspot in the development of science and technology, is widely used in the medical field to assist in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of various diseases. Its infinite learning ability greatly promotes the management of MS. This article will review the application of AI in MS diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To compare the effects of no-rinse skin cleanser and warm water with paraffin oil in first brush bath of the new-born. Methods About 42 newborns who were born from January to March 2016 were set as control group and used warm water with paraffin oil in first brush bath. About 43 newborns who were born from April to June 2016 were set as observation group and used no-rinse skin cleanser in first brush bath. The cleaning time and effect ,the rectal temperature before and after sponge and dermatitis were compared. Results Both groups did not develop dermatitis. But the observation group had better cleaning satisfaction , less cleaning time, faster rewarming than those of the control group with statistical significance (all p<0.05). Conclusion No-rinse skin cleanser used in the first brush for the new-born can reduce cleaning time and difference of temperature, which is safe for clinical application.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the situation of prevalence for extended spectrum ?-lactamases(ESBLs)genes in multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(PA). METHODS Antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed by agar dilution method and 7 kinds of ESBLs genes were detected by PCR methods in 35 strains of PA. RESULTS In 35 strains of PA, the positive rates of genes of TEM, OXA, PER and GES were 51.4%, 42.8%, 31.4%, and 22.9%, respectively, and genes of SHV, VEB, and CTX-M-1 were all negative. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that there are high positive rates of TEM, OXA, PER and GES genes in PA in our hospital. The GES genes in PA are first reported in China.

ObjectiveTo study whether Chaihu Longgu Mulitang can inhibit hypothalamic inflammation， mitigate anxiety-like behavior， and alleviate anxiety symptoms by regulating the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase/nuclear factor-κB （p38 MAPK/NF-κB） signaling pathway in the rat model of generalized anxiety disorder （GAD）. MethodTwelve out of 74 Wistar rats were randomly selected as the blank group， and the remaining rats were subjected to chronic restraint stress for the modeling of GAD. The open field test （OFT） and elevated Porteus maze test （PMT） were conducted 14 days after modeling to detect the anxiety-like behaviors. Sixty successfully modeled rats were selected and randomized into model， low-， medium-， and high-dose （6， 12， and 24 g·kg^-1， respectively） Chaihu Longgu Mulitang， and diazepam （1 mg·kg^-1） groups （n=12） and administrated with corresponding drugs for 14 consecutive days. OFT and PMT were then carried out to examine the anxiety-like behaviors of the rats. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and interleukin-1β （IL-1β） in the hypothalamus and serum of rats were determined by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）was conducted to determine the mRNA levels of p38 MAPK， NF-κB p65， nuclear factor κB inhibitor α （IκBα）， and ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 （Iba-1）. The protein levels of p38 MAPK， phosphorylated （p）-p38 MAPK， NF-κB p65， p-NF-κB p65， and IκBα in the hypothalamus of rats were determined by Western blot. The expression of Iba-1 in the hypothalamic microglia was detected by immunofluorescence assay. ResultCompared with the blank group， the model group had decreased body weight， scattered dark yellow fur， increased irritability， and preference to hibernation in the corner. In addition， the modeled rats showed increased edge movement distance and time in OFT （P<0.01） and decreased movement distance and time and the number of entries in the open arm in PMT （P<0.01）. The modeling increased the fluorescence intensity of Iba-1 in paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus （P<0.01）， elevated the levels of IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α in the serum and hypothalamus （P<0.01）， up-regulated the protein and mRNA levels of p38 MAPK， NF-κB p65， p-p38 MAPK， p-NF-κB p65， and Iba-1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and down-regulated the protein and mRNA levels of IκBα （P<0.01） in the hypothalamus. Compared with the model group， medium- and high-dose Chaihu Longgu Mulitang and diazepam increased the body weight， improved the fur and behaviors， decreased the edge movement distance and time in OFT （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and increased the movement distance and time in the open arm in PMT （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Furthermore， they decreased the fluorescence intensity of Iba-1 in hypothalamic microglia （P<0.05， P<0.01）， lowered the levels of IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α in the serum and hypothalamic tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01）， down-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of p38 MAPK， NF-κB p65， p-p38 MAPK， p-NF-κB p65， and Iba-1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and up-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of IκBα （P<0.05， P<0.01） in the hypothalamus. ConclusionChaihu Longgu Mulitang can mitigate anxiety-like behaviors and relieve anxiety in GAD rats by inhibiting the p38 MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway and reducing the activation of microglia and the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the hypothalamus.
