OBJECTIVETo compare the clinical efficacy difference between encircling needling combined with physical factor therapy and simple physical factor therapy for severe pressure sore, and to explore the optimal method for severe pressure sores.

METHODSThirty-four patients with IV-grade pressure sore were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 17 cases in each one. Patients in the control group were treated with conventional nursing, ultrasonic wave and short-wave ultraviolet therapy; additionally, the encircling needling was applied in the observation group. All the treatment was given once a day, 5 times a week, and 4-week treatment constituted one session. Totally, two sessions of treatment were performed. Three indices, including the area of pressure sore, 24-h volume of exudates and wound-bed tissue type, were compared between the two groups before and after treatment; the clinical efficacy was evaluated in the two groups.

RESULTSAfter treatment of one session and two sessions, the area of pressure sore, 24-h volume of exudates and wound-bed tissue type were significantly reduced in the two groups (P < 0.01, P < 0.05), which was more obvious in the observation group (all P < 0.05). The total effective rate in the observation group was 76.5% (13/17) after 1 session and 94.1% (16/17) after 2 sessions, which were superior to 35.3% (6/17) after 1 session and 64.7% (11/17) after 2 sessions in the control group (both P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONEncircling needling combined with physical factor therapy can obviously reduce the pressure sore area and 24-h volume of exudates and improve wound-bed tissue type, which is superior to simple physical factor therapy.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of postoperative three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy concurrent with paclitaxel +TS-1 chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced gastric carcinoma.Methods A total of 60 patients with advanced gastric carcinoma were randomly divided into treatment group and control group.In treatment group,30 patients received simultaneous three-dimensional conformal radiations therapy combined with paclitaxel +TS-1 chemotherapy.In control group,30 patients received paclitaxel +TS-1 chemotherapy.The long term survival rate,local recurrence rate and side reactions were observed in two groups.Results The 1,2-year survival rate in treatment group [93.1％ (27/29),75.9 ％ (22/29)] and control group [72.4 ％ (21/29),48.3 ％ (14/29)] had significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The 1,2-year local recurrence rate in treatment group [6.9％ (2/29),13.8％ (4/29)] and control group [31.0％ (9/29),44.8 ％ (13/29)] had significant difference (P ＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01).The side reactions in two groups were mainly manifested as leukopenia,thrombocytopenia,anemia,nausea,vomiting,liver function damage and oral mucositis.The incidence rate of nausea,vomiting in treatment group was significantly higher than that in control group [83.3％ (25/30) vs.53.3％ (16/30)] (P =0.012).Conclusions Postoperative threedimensional conformal radiotherapy concurrent with paclitaxel +TS-1 chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced gastric carcinoma may improve the long-term survival rate,lower local recurrence rate.But the adverse reactions are increased.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of Xiaoruzeng capsule on the gastric acid and pepsin in rats. METHODS:Rats were randomized into a blank group (distilled water),a positive control group (3.6 mg/kg omeprazole ) and the groups of low, middle and high doses of Xiaoruzeng capsule [2.25,4.5,9.1 g(crude drug)/kg]. These groups were respectively marked as groups A,B,C,D and E,with 10 rats in each group. All the rats were given corresponding drugs,ig,for consecutive 10 d. Their suc-cus gastricus was collected 3 h after the last administration,and determined for pH value with precision pH test strip and for free acidity and total acidity by acid-base neutralization titration method. The content and activity of pepsin were determined and calculat-ed with the test kit and microplate reader. The pathological change of the stomach was observed under the electron microscope. RE-SULTS:Compared with group A,groups B,C and D had higher pH value of succus gastricus;groups C,D and E had lower free acidity;groups B,C and D had lower total acidity,group E had higher total acidity;groups B,D and E had lower activity of pep-sin;and group C had higher content of pepsin. Compared with group B,group D had lower pH value of succus gastricus;group C had lower total acidity;group E had higher acidity;and groups C,D and E had higher activity of pepsin. There was statistical sig-nificance(P<0.01 or P<0.05). Gastric mucosal erosive haemorrhage was noted in three rats in group E,and other groups demon-strated no obvious pathological change. CONCLUSIONS:Low dose of Xiaoruzeng capsule can slightly inhibit the gastric acid in rats,but will not effect the activity of pepsin.

Objective To investigate genotypes and antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli producing plasmid-mediated AmpC ?-lactamase in Anhui province.Methods A total of 407 clinical isolates of nonrepeated Escherichia coli were collected from different cities in Anhui province.AmpC ?-lactamase producing isolates were identified by cefoxitin three-dimensional test and antibiotic susceptibility was identified by agar dilution test.Plasmid extraction,PCR amplication of corresponding group was performed, followed by sequencing.Results The positive rate of cefoxitin three-dimensional test was 8.1% (33/407), and the prevalence of plasmid-mediated AmpC ?-lactamase was 3.0% (12/407).bla_(CMY-2) gene,bla_(DHA-1) gene and bla_(ACT-2) gene were identified by PCR amplification and confirmed by sequencing in 5 strains,4 strains and 2 strains,respectively.A new CMY genotype was identified,with its sequence revealed 97% identity to the deduced amino acid sequence with previous CMY-2.This is also the first report on ACT-2 genotype in China.The susceptibility test showed that all strains were resistant to cephamycins and piperacillin,and susceptible to imipenem.Two strains of Escherichia coli producing DHA-1 were resistant to fourth-generation cephalosporin.Conclusions CMY-2,DHA-1 and ACT-2 are the most common genotypes in plasmid-mediated AmpC ?-lactamase produced by clinical Escherichia coli isolates in Anhui province. Carbapenems could be the first choice for the treatment of infection caused by AmpC ?-lactamase producers.

BACKGROUND:Cervical decompression and fusion internal fixation wil accelerate adjacent segment disc degeneration, and it is not clear whether single segment instaibility can increase the adjacent segment disc degeneration. OBJECTIVE:To study the changes of morphology, proteoglycan and col agen type Ⅱ in the adjacent intervertebral disc of the cervical instability models. METHODS:Sixteen New Zealand white rabbits were divided into two groups randomly, with eight rabbits in the control group and eight rabbits in the model group. The animal cervical instability models were made by destroyed partly annulus fibrosus and absorbed C 5/6 nucleus pulposus through anterior cervical puncture. After 12 weeks, the animal models were tested by X-ray film. Al rabbits were sacrificed and 10 mg nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral discs of C 4/5 cut from sagittal plane were harvested and stored under 0 ℃. The content of proteoglycan in nucleus pulposus was tested with phloroglucinol method. Then, the paraffin sections of intervertebral disc tissues were taken for hematoxylin-eosin staining and SABC immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The notochord cells of C4/5 intervertebral discs in the experimental group was decreased, and being replaced by fibroblast-like cells. Round chondrocytes could be seen occasional y and intervertebral discs annulus fibrosus became rough and arranged disorderly, the hyaline degeneration and pigmentation were observed as wel as the fibrochondrocytes, and there was a gap between inner and outer annulus fibrosus. The content of proteoglycan was decreased in the nucleus pulposus, and there was significant difference between two groups. The col agen type Ⅱ in the degenerative disc nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group. Cervical instability can lead to adjacent intervertebral disc degeneration with the morphological changes and decreased content of proteoglycan and col agen type Ⅱ.
