The medical records of 197 patients on linezolid therapy were collected retrospectively.The prevalence and risk factors for linezolid-induced reduction of hemoglobin were identified.The incidence of linezolid-induced reduction of hemoglobin was 31.98％.The patients with reduction of hemoglobin had older age [(68 ± 14) vs.(59 ± 18) years,P =0.000] and lower creatinine clearance (CCr) [(72 ±42)vs.(98 ± 52) ml/min,P =0.000].Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥65 years,treatment duration ≥ 15 days,CCr ＜ 65 ml/min and pre-treatment hemoglobin value ＜ 95 g/L were significant risk factors for linezolid-induced reduction of hemoglobin.

In order to analyze the correlation between critical residues in the catalytic centre of BSH and the enzyme substrate specificity, seven mutants of Lactobacillus salivarius bile salt hydrolase (BSH1) were constructed by using the Escherichia coli pET-20b(+) gene expression system, rational design and site-directed mutagenesis. These BSH1 mutants exhibited different hydrolytic activities against various conjugated bile salts through substrate specificities comparison. Among the residues being tested, Cys2 and Thr264 were deduced as key sites for BSH1 to catalyze taurocholic acid and glycocholic acid, respectively. Moreover, Cys2 and Thr264 were important for keeping the catalytic activity of BSH1. The high conservative Cys2 was not the only active site, other mutant amino acid sites were possibly involved in substrate binding. These mutant residues might influence the space and shape of the substrate-binding pockets or the channel size for substrate passing through and entering active site of BSH1, thus, the hydrolytic activity of BSH1 was changed to different conjugated bile salt.

Objective To investigate the effect of different doses of dexmedetomidine combined with intercostal nerve block in regional adenomammectomy.Methods 112 patients receiving regional adenomammectomy and meeting criterions were selected from Oct.2013 to Oct.2016.And they were divided into control group and low,medium,and high dose group according to table of random number,with 28 cases in each group.Patients of the control group only received intercostal nerve block.Patients of low dose group received low dose of dexmedetomidine (0.7 μg/kg load dose and 0.25μg· kg-1·h-1 maintenance doses) combined with intercostal nerve block.Patients of medium dose group received medium dose of dexmedetomidine (0.7 μg/kg load dose and 0.5 μg·kg-1·h-1 maintenance doses) combined with intercostal nerve block.Patients of high dose group received high dose of dexmedetomidine (0.7 μg/kg load dose and 1 μg· kg-1·h-1 maintenance doses) combined with intercostal nerve block.Mean arterial pressure,heart rate,VAS score and sedation score of the four groups were detected and compared at T0,T1,T2,T3 and T4.Results The mean arterial pressure and heart rate of medium and high dose group were lower than those of the control group and low dose group at T1,T2,T3 (P＜0.05).The mean arterial pressure and heart rate of high dose group were lower than those in medium dose group at T1,T2,T3 (P＜0.05).VAS score of medium and high dose group were lower than those of the control group and low dose group (P＜0.05),while the difference was not statistically significant between medium and high dose group(P＞0.05).The sedation scores of low,medium and high dose groups were higher than those of the control group at T1,T2,T3 and T4 (P＜0.05),while the sedation score of high dose group were higher than those of low and medium dose groups at T1,T2,T3 and T4 (P＜0.05).Conclusion Medium and high dose of dexmedetomidine combined intercostal nerve block can effectively relieve pain for patients undergoing regional adenomammectomy,while high dose of dexmedetomidine is likely to cause bradycardia,hypotension and excessive sedation.Appropriate dosage should be chosen in clinical practice.

Objective ·To study changes of morphological characteristics of pituitary glands Objective · To study changes of morphological characteristics of pituitary glandsin normal adults by high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods · A total of 245 healthy adults were scanned by 3.0T MRI to measurewidths,lengths,heights and volumes of pituitary glands and observe pituitary gland morphology. Results · The average height of pituitary was (5.47±1.33) mm inmales and (6.06±1.32) mm in females; the average volume of pituitary was (614.07±125.52) mm3 in males and (660.00±117.35) mm3 in females. The difference betweenthe genders was statistically significant (P<0.01). The pituitary height was positively related to the pituitary volume (r=0.829,P<0.01). Except the pituitary lengths, there was statistically significance in the pituitary widths, heights and volumes among different age groups (P<0.05), and all of them were negatively correlated with age (P<0.01). Conclusion · The pituitary heights and volumes peak in the 18-29 age group in adults and tend to decline with increased age. In female subjects, however, there is a tendency of pituitary heights and volumes to increaseagain in the 50-59 age group. The average height and volume of female pituitary glands are significantly greater than those of males.

Objective To investigate the effect of exogenous orexinA on the pyramid neurons and interneurons in the prefrontal cortex prelimbic(PL)area.Methods The pyramid neurons and interneurons in PL area of Kunming mice were selected from prefrontal cortex slices by infrared visual patch clamp technique.The morphology and electrophysiological features of the pyramid neurons and interneurons were observed.The effect of exogenous orexinA at a concentration of 400 nmol/L on these cells was studied using the whole cell configuration.Results The pyramid neurons were large,pyramidal in cell body with clear apical dendrites extending vertically and several basal dendrites radiating.The interneurons were comparatively smaller and had several processes from cell body.In current clamp mode,all 54 pyramid neurons having been recorded showed frequency adaption,and the 15 recorded interneurons discharged rapidly and had no frequency adaption.While in vol-tage clamp mode,36 pyramid neurons were regarded as Ih(+)pyramid neurons for recorded hyperpolariztion-activated cation current,and the left 18 and 15 interneurons were Ih(-).Exogenous orexinA had a total reaction rate of 51.9% on 54 recorded pyramid neurons under current clamp,and a rate of 66.7% on 36 Ih(+)pyramid neurons and of 22.2% on the Ih(-)pyramid neurons under voltage clamp.All 15 recorded interneurons had no reaction to exogenous orexinA under either mode.Conclusion OrexinA plays excitatory effect on pyramid neurons in the prefrontal cortex PL area,and this effect is much more noticeable in pyramid neurons with Ih currents.
