Abstract: Objective　To analyze the distribution and drug resistance evolution characteristics of pathogenic bacteria of bloodstream infection in nine tertiary hospitals in Yunnan Province from 2017 to 2021, so as to provide reliable basis for rational selection of antibiotics in clinic. Methods Using the drug sensitive paper method or instrument method, the bacteria identification and drug sensitivity test were carried out in nine tertiary hospitals in different regions according to the unified technical scheme. The results were judged according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) breakpoint standard in 2021, and use WHONET5.6 for data statistical analysis. Results A total of 12 003 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated from bloodstream infection samples in the past five years, including 7 442 strains of Gram-negative bacteria (62.0%) and 4562 strains of Gram-positive bacteria (38.0%), with an increasing trend in the number of isolated strains; of these, 163 strains (1.4%) were isolated from outpatients and 11 840 strains (98.6%) were isolated from inpatients. The top three gram-negative bacteria were Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii, of which 309 strains (4.2%) were carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KPN), 29 strains (0.4%) carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli and 19 strains (0.3%) carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae, and the number of CR-KPN was on the rise year by year. The top three Gram-positive bacteria were coagulase-negative staphylococci, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecium, of which methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was detected for 213 strains, accounting for 27.7%, and decreased from 40.0% in 2017 to 23.4% in 2021, showing a downward trend year by year. No vancomycin-resistant staphylococci and enterococci were found. Conclusions The detection and composition of bloodstream infection pathogenic bacteria in multicenter have not changed much in the past five years, but each hospital has its own characteristics. The number of carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae increased year by year, which should be paid more attention.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of the Compound Fritillaria thunbergii Miq Particles (CFMP) to the sub-cellular accumulation ability and inducing the apoptosis of K562/A02 cells, explore the mechanism of the CFMP reserve the multi-drug resistance of K562/A02 cells.

METHODSForty Wistar male rats were divided into the blank-serum group, the adriamycin (ADR) containing serum group, the CFMP high dose [8 g/ (kg x d)] group, the CFMP medium dose [4 g/(kg x d)] and the CFMP low dose [2 g/(kg x d)] group. The effects of different time of drug contained serum on sub-cellular accumulation of ADR and Rh123 were quantitative detected by flow cytometry. Cells apoptosis induced by different concentrations of CFMP contained serum were detected by flow cytometry with Annexin-V/PI staining method.

OBJECTIVETo study therapeutic effects of Sky-bone expander for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compressed fractures.

METHODSFifteen patients (18 vertebrae) suffering from vertebral compression fractures were treated with Sky bone expander system which expanded and reconstructed the vertebral body with PMMA cement. The clinical effect was evaluated by observing the changing of visual analogue scale (VAS). The preoperative and postoperative mean VAS scores were compared by paired-sample t test. All the patients were followed up by telephone or clinic consulting after being discharged from our hospital.

RESULTSThe procedure was performed successfully in 15 patients. The operation time ranged from 45 to 110 minutes (65 minutes per vertebra on average). The patients were followed up and the duration ranged from 6 to 12 months (8 months on average). The mean VAS score of the patients were improved significantly at the third postoperative day compared with those before the operation (2.5 +/- 1.3, vs 7.7 +/- 1.1, all P < 0.05). The mean VAS score at the end of the follow-up was 2.2 +/- 1.2.

CONCLUSIONSky bone expander system provides significant pain relief effect in the cases of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, shortens the duration of lying in bed, and its procedure is convenient with few complications.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of the quinoline derivative PQ1 combined with cisplatin on the proliferation and gap junction communication of prostate cancer PC3 cells.

METHODSWe cultured in vitro prostate cancer PC3 cells and divided them into DMSO blank control, cisplatin control, and cisplatin (10 mg/ml) plus PQ1 (1, 2, 5, 10, and 15 μmol/L) groups. We measured the proliferation of the prostate cancer PC3 cells, determined the expressions of the connexin 43 (Cx43) mRNA and protein by RT-PCR and Western blot, and compared the indexes among different groups.

RESULTSCisplatin combined with PQl at 1 - 10 μmol/L significantly inhibited the proliferation of the PC3 cells and the inhibition rate rose in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, from (48.72 ± 0.98)% vs (50.33 ± 0.62)% at 0 μmol/L to (77.38 ± 1.12)% vs (83.50 ± 1.05)% at 15 μmol/L at 24 and 48 hours (P < 0.05). Compared with the cisplatin control, cisplatin combined with PQ1 at 1, 2, 5, 10, and 15 μmol/L increased the expression of Cx43 mRNA from 0.379 ± 0.113 to 0.669 ± 0.031, 0.831 ± 0. 127, 0.769 ± 0.100, 0.532 ± 0.086, and 0.475 ± 0.134, respectively (P < 0.05), and cisplatin combined with PQ1 at 1, 2, 5, and 10 μmol/L elevated that of Cx43 protein from 0.138 ± 0.146 to 0.263 ± 0.111, 0.306 ± 0.152, 0.415 ± 0.280, and 0.643 ± 0.310, respectively (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe quinoline derivative PQ1 can promote the gap junction communication of prostate cancer PC3 cells and enhance the killing effect of cisplatin on PC3 cells by upregulating the expressions of Cx43 mRNA and protein.
