Objective To evaluate the effect of special rectification of clinical antimicrobial use in a hospital. Methods Medical records of patients receiving inguinal hernia repair before (in 2011)and after (in 2012)the per-formance of special rectification were reviewed,and the rationality of perioperative antimicrobial prophylaxis was compared.Results Prophylactic antimicrobial usage rate in patients receiving inguinal hernia repair decreased from 53.90%(76/114)in 2011 to 5.59%(10/179)in 2012,the difference was significant (χ2 =93.68,P <0.05);aver-age expense of antimicrobial use per patient decreased by 86.95% (from ￥ 624.73 in 2011 to ￥ 81 .52 in 2012);Combination use and single use was 93.42% and 80.00% respectively.Surgical site infection did not occur in both groups.Conclusion Through the special rectification activities of the clinical antimicrobial use,perioperative anti-microbial prophylaxis and expense of antimicrobial agents in patients receiving inguinal hernia repair is effectively re-duced.

Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture, neuromuscular electrical stimulation and swallowing training on acute stroke patients with dysphagia and the incidence of post-stroke pneumonia (PSP). Methods Acute stroke patients with dysphagia were divided into 3 groups. Routine group (n=188) received routine swallowing training. Stimulation group (n=196) received routine swallowing training and neuromuscular electrical stimulation. Acupuncture group (n=112) received routine swallowing training, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and acupuncture. The incidence of improvment of dysphagia and PSP, and the improvement of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) within 3 weeks were compared. They were followed up for 3 months for the incidence of PSP. Results The incidence of improvment of dysphagia was the most in the acupuncture group (P<0.05), while the incidence of PSP was the least (P<0.05). The improvement of NIHSS was the most in the acupuncture group (P<0.05). The incidence of PSP was not significantly different (P>0.05) within 3 months followed up. Conclusion The acupuncture, neuromuscular electrical stimulation and swallowing training combination can improve the swallowing function and decrease the incidence of PSP in stroke patients with dysphagia.

Objective To study and analyze the therapeutic effects of intravenous low dose recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) in the treatment of transient ischemic attack (TIA).Methods A total of 86 TIA patients were selected as the research subjects and divided into observation group (intravenous low dose rt-PA thrombolysis treatment combined with aspirin antiplatelet therapy applied,41 cases) and the control group (single aspirin antiplatelet therapy applied,45 cases) according to the treatment methods.The plasma tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA),the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) on admission,at 1,3,7,14 d of the treatment were detected and compared.The control rates of TIA of the patients in the two groups were observed and compared.The patients in the two groups were followed up for 1 year,the ratios of transformation to acute cerebral infarction in the two groups were observed and compared.Results At 1,3 d of the treatment,the plasma t-PA levels of the patients in the observation group were significantly higher than that in the control group,and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).At every time points before and after the treatment,the differences of the plasma PAI-1 levels between the two groups were not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in control rates of TIA in each period of time between the patients in the two groups (P ＞ 0.0 5).During the period of following-up,there were 2 cases and 4 cases of patients with transformation to acute cerebral infarction in the observation group and the control group,respectively,and there was no significant differences in the ratios of transformation to acute cerebral infarction between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The application of intravenous infusion of low dose of rt-PA for thrombolysis on the basis of the antiplatelet therapy of aspirin can increase the plasma t-PA level in early period of patients with TIA,help to reduce the risk of thrombosis,but has no obvious influences on the plasma PAI-1 levels,the clinical efficacy and the long-term prognosis.

The CRISPR/Cas9 based prime editing (PE) technique enables all 12 types of base substitutions and precise small DNA deletions or insertions without generating DNA double-strand breaks. Prime editing has been successfully applied in plants and plays important roles in plant precision breeding. Although plant prime editing (PPE) can substantially expand the scope and capabilities of precise genome editing in plants, its editing efficiency still needs to be further improved. Here, we review the development of PPE technique, and introduce structural composition, advantages and limitations of PPE. Strategies to improve the PPE editing efficiency, including the T_m-directed PBS length design, the RT template length, the dual-pegRNA strategy, the PlantPegDesigner website, and the strategies for optimizing the target proteins of PPE, were highlighted. Finally, the prospects of future development and application of PPE were discussed.
