Objective To establish the rational antibiotic treatment by accurate screening of high level aminoglycoside (HLA) resistant enterococci in clinical laboratory. Methods A single HLA genta micin 500 ?g/ml and streptomycin 200 ?g/ml for agar dilution method, and gentamicin 120 ?g/disk and streptomycin 300 ?g/disk for disk diffusion method were used as parallel screening tests to detect high level aminoglycoside resistance in 172 enterococci strains. Antibiotic time kill test was performed to verify the accuracy and reliability of both methods.Results The resistant rates of the two methods for HLA gentamicin were 60.0% and 59.3%,respectively. While for HLA streptomycin, both were 61.1%. In disk diffusion tests of 172 enterococci strains, the resistant rates for penicillin, ampicillin and vancomycin were 16.9%, 14.0%, and 1.7%, respectively. ? lactamase from 80 strains enterococci were all negative. Conclusion High concentration aminoglycoside disk diffusion method is a simple, reliable method for screening the HLA resistant enterococci in clinical laboratory. The results can provide a rational base for physicians to treat enterococcal infections.

Osteoporosis complicated with fracture is a common and severe condition. This paper summarizes present advances and new concepts in its treatment. Since the secondary osteoporosis will likely develop after fracture treatment with immobilization, more and more bone mass will get lost in addition to primary osteoporosis. A vicious cycle will be established and influence the fracture healing. Therefore, the key to the treatment is to block the vicious cycle to stop or decrease the bone loss. As a routine measure, to do exercises and weight- bearing activities as early as possible is as important as to take medicines for osteoporosis treatment. Stable internal fixation and prosthetic replacement should be firstly chosen for treatment of most fractures. In drug treatment, calcitonin, bisphosphonate (alendronate), HRT (Livial), vitamins D2 and D3, and calcium are indicated.

Conclusion High-concentration aminoglycoside disk diffusion method is a simple, reliable method for screening the HLA resistant enterococci in clinical laboratory. The results can provide a rational base for physicians to treat enterococcal infections.

Objective To study the value of color Doppler ultrasonography in assessing the severity of deep venous insufficiency of the lower extremities.Methods Forty-five patients (46 lower extremities) in patient group confirmed as venous insufficiency by descending phlebography and 20 volunteers (40 lower extremities) in control group were assessed by color Doppler ultrasonography. The results of 45 patients were compared with those of 20 volunteers.Results The diameters of superficial femoral vein measured by color Doppler ultrasonography were correlated with the severity of venous reflux showed in phlebography(r=(0.771),P(0.05)).Conclusions The reflux distance in superficial femoral vein is a useful parameter in assessing the degree of venous insufficiency.

Objective To analyze the relationships between body mass index (BMI), blood pressure and the cerebral vascular function in middle-aged population that underwent health checkup. Methods Participants from health management centers of Renmin Hospital of Hubei province, the Second Hospital Affiliated to Nanhua University, Hospital of Shandong Electric Power and Chinese People's Liberation Army No. 180 Hospital aged 45 to 64 years were selected from health checkup population by cluster sampling. Levels of height, weight and blood pressure as well as the cerebral hemodynamics were checked. Subjects were grouped according to age, BMI, systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The differences and distribution of cerebrovascular function scores (CVFS) between groups were compared and described. Moreover, the risk of stroke in the population was evaluated. Results Of the 17 258 individuals who met inclusion criteria, the abnormal rate (the score below 75 points) of CVFS was 20.9 percent. The CVFS in normal, overweight and obese groups were 91.0±15.4, 83.3±21.3, 70.3±26.5 and differences in all age groups were statistically significant (P<0.01). The CVFS in systolic blood pressure<120,120-139, 140-159,≥160 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) groups were 93.9±12.9, 86.5±18.9, 72.1±23.5, 56.2±25.7 and differences in all age groups were statistically significant (P<0.01). CVFS in normal diastolic pressure<80, 80-89, 90-99,≥100 mmHg groups were 91.0±16.1, 85.5±20.2, 75.4±23.6, 62.7±25.0 and the differences among all age groups were statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusions The abnormal rate of cerebrovascular function integral and high risk stroke individuals in middle-aged health checkup people was approximately 21 percent. The overweight, obese and the high level of systolic and diastolic pressure may induce the injury of cerebrovascular function and the severity will increase with the level of BMI and blood pressure.

The regulations of unregistered herbal medicine had important changes in the UK after the EU Directive 2004/24/EC promulgation. British Drugs Act was amended to allow the sale of unregistered herbal medicine by registered practitioners, however, the regulations about the register of parishioners has not been issued yet. At the same time, the unregistered herbal medicine can be sold during the transitional period. But as problems about unregistered herbal medicine security appeared frequently, MHRA decided that the deadline for transitional period was April 30, 2014 through the consulting from all sectors of society. Therefore, the TCM practitioners in the UK cannot sell, and even have no right to sell unregistered herbal medicine after this date, which will bring a huge obstacle on the TCM development in the UK.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) developed rapidly in the world, but the TCM international standard system has not been established, affecting the healthy development of TCM. To develop TCM international standardization strategy must master the current technical legislation and regulation status related to TCM. Through TM/CAM legislative investigation of the 4 Participating Countries of ISO/TC249 in western Pacific region, the author found that:Member states already have national policy on TM/CAM; laws and regulations on herbal product production, marketing, regulatory and management practitioners have already been enacted;TM/CAM practitioners in larger quantities, a higher education was required for practitioners and standardized management. This indicated that there is a good environment for TCM development in western Pacific region.

Chinese medicine has developed rapidly in the world, but the international standard system has not been established, further affecting the healthy development of Chinese medicine. Technical status of the member states are closely related to the current legislation and regulations in the development of Chinese medicine, which is important for developing international standards for TCM strategies. By the findings of ISO Technical Committee of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ISO/TC249) 7 European P member (Participating countries) International Traditional/Alternative Medicine (TM/CAM) legislative status, herbal medicine in each member country has a large market, a good environment for the development of some countries. After“The EU Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products Directive 2004/24/EC”issued by the member states for the registration and management in European, regulation of herbal products become more stringent. There are relatively small quantity of TM/CAM practitioners, lack of education for practitioners and standardized management.

Objective To study the facial nerve canal (FNC) abnormalities of the congenital external auditory canal (EAC) atresia by MSCT curved planar reformation (CPR).Methods 15 cases(17 ears) of congenital EAC atresia were scanned by MSCT. Post-processing images were completed by Philips Mx8000 workstation.Results In 17 ears, there were 2 ears with stenosis of EAC, 2 ears with membranous atresia of EAC and 13 ears with bony atresia of EAC.There were 1 ear with congenital cholesteatoma, 3 ears with malformation of tympanum, 7 ears with malformation of the ossicular chain and 1ear with malformation of inner ear. In 17 ears with abnormalities of FNC, included 11 ears with the shortness of FNC general length, 5 ears with the anomalous course of FNC, 9 ears with the displacement of FNC, 1 ear with the narrowing of FNC and 1 ear with the branch of FNC.Conclusion MSCT CPR of FNC, combined with HRCT axial scan, can clearly show the FNC abnormalities of the congenital EAC atresia and provide valuable information for surgery.
