OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of strains producing extended-spectrum ?-lactamases (ESBLs) and AmpC ?-lactamases in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and to supply the laboratory evidence for antibiotic rational application in clinic. METHODS Totally 105 clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa were identified with VITEK-32. Drug sensitivities were determined by Kirby-Bauer methods. ESBLs were detected by double-disc synergy test,and cefoxitin three dimensional test was applied to filter AmpC positive strains. RESULTS Among 105 strains of P. aeruginosa,28 strains (26.7%) were AmpC enzymes positive,20 strains (19.0%) were ESBLs positive,and 5 strains(4.8%)were AmpC+ESBLs positive. The detective rate of producing AmpC ?-lactamases strains was higher than that of producing ESBLs strains. There was significant difference between them. CONCLUSIONS ESBLs and AmpC ?-lactamases are two main enzyme types conferring resistance to ?-lactam antibiotics in clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa. Imipenem can be the first choice for treating infections caused by P. aeruginosa producing ESBLs or AmpC ?-lactamases.

OBJECTIVE To study resistance of Enterococcus in clinical isolates to high-level gentamicin(HLG) and investigate drug resistance of these Enterococcus.METHODS Totally 140 strains of Enterococcus were detected resistance to antibiotics by Kirby-Bauer test and agar-screening test.Data were analyzed using WHONET5.3 software.RESULTS Same result was obtained by two kinds of detecting methods,there were 73 strains of high level gentamicin resistance(HLGR,52.1%) and 67 strains of non-HLGR(47.9%),the resistance rate of HLGR was higher than that of non-HLGR,the isolation rate of vancomycin resistanct Enterococcus was 3.6%.CONCLUSIONS The most common enterococci causing hospital infection are E.faecalis and E.faecium.The drug resistance rate of E.faecium is higher than that of E.faecalis.It is imperative to select the proper method to detect HLGR of Enterococcus,and select proper antibiotic in terms of antibiotic susceptibility test during clinical therapy.

Objective To investigate the effects of neuromuscular blockade(NMB) by atracurium on facial nerve monitoring.Methods Twenty patients with chronic otitis media scheduled for radical mastoidectomy under general anesthesia were selected.Anesthetic inducement was made with sufentanil at 0.4 ?g/kg,lidocaine at 0.5~1 mg/kg,propofol at 2 mg/kg,and scoline at 1.5 mg/kg in their given order intravenously.After endotracheal intubation,mechanical ventilation was employed with an anesthetic machine.Intraoperative facial nerve minitorization was performed using the neuromuscular transmission monitor(TOF Guard) and the NMB level of right musculus adductor pollicis was assessed with the Nerve Integrity Monitoring System(Medtronic Inc.) simultaneously.No muscle relaxants were given until the electromyogram(EMG) of the facial nerve was induced.Propofol and sufentanil was administered intravenously to maintain the anesthesia.Minimal facial nerve stimulations(regarded as thresholds) causing EMG responses were measured during both nil NMB and 100% NMB by atracurium at 0.5 mg/kg.Results With propofol and sufentanil intravenously administered,the anesthesia was maintained successfully both before and after the administration of atracurium.The EMG of the facial nerve was induced even during the 100% NMB level by atracurium,but the thresholds were elevated significantly from 0.22?0.09 mA to 0.39?0.17 mA(t=-8.643,P=0.000).Conclusions Facial nerve monitoring can be performed even during the 100% NMB level by atracurium,with significant elevated stimulating thresholds.Propofol and sufentanil can be used to maintain adequate level of anesthesia without the need of muscle relaxants in radical mastoidectomy.

Objective To investigate the best protective solution that could maintain the cell activity and prolong the survival time of the human retinal pigment epithelium (hRPE) cells after break away in vitro culture case. Methods hRPE cells (stored in our laboratory) culture in DMEM/F12, added 10% FBS, EGF 20?g/L and bFGF 20?g/L, which had been cultured for more than five generations. When these culture hRPE cells had been confluenced more than 80%, the hRPE cells were harvested and placed into six kinds of protective solutions (balanced salt solution, Quinn's advantage medium, physiological salt solution, 18-amino acid solution, 5% glucose solution, artificial cerebrospinal fluid), then the cells were stained with the Annexin V /FITC, and the numbers of cell death and cell apoptosis were detected with the fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS). The hRPE cells were in six kinds of protective solutions and were investigated at three different times from 2 hours to 8 hours. Results The result presented as follows: At the room temperature, the hRPE cells in all six kinds of protective solutions occurred necrosis within 30 minutes. To investigate the state at 4℃, in a duration of 2 hours, the apoptosis rate in the group of balanced salt solution was lowest (0.9%); As compared with the group of balanced salt solution, the apoptosis rate of artificial cerebrospinal presented a great difference (P

The global incidence rate of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) continues to rise. The pathogenesis of NASH is complex, and there is no effective clinical treatment. Previous study has shown that DEAD box protein 5 (DDX5) can significantly alleviate the NASH process in mice. This study screened the natural product library of the research group and found that the active compound hypercalin B (HB) in Hypericum beanii N. Robson, a traditional Chinese medicine, can upregulate the expression of DDX5 protein in a dose-dependent manner. In this study, an in vitro model of NASH stimulated by palmitic acid (PA) and an animal model of NASH induced by the methionine- and choline-deficient diet (MCD) were constructed. Different concentrations of HB were used to investigate the effect and mechanism of HB in alleviating NASH progression. All animal experiments in this paper were approved by the Ethics Committee of China Pharmaceutical University (NO: 2021-02-003). In vitro model results showed that HB significantly reduced the intracellular lipid deposition induced by free fatty acid (FFA). Animal experiments showed that HB improved liver injury by significantly reducing lipid accumulation in the liver of NASH mice, and reducing serum aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) levels. Moreover, HB could inhibit liver inflammation by reducing the mRNA levels of liver pro-inflammatory cytokines including interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα). Further research showed that HB could reduce the phosphorylation level of the mechanical target of rapamycin (mTOR) and reduce the expression of sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP1) and fatty acid synthase (FASN), thereby improving lipid metabolism and alleviating NASH progression, and the effects of HB against NASH were dependent on DDX5. In conclusion, HB can improve lipid metabolism and inhibit inflammatory activation by suppressing mTORC1 pathway via upregulating DDX5 protein, and showed promising anti-NASH activity in vitro and in vivo.

In recent years,liver transplantation donor shortage as one of world medical problems is paid more attention by domestic and overseas scholars.In view of that,heterotopic auxiliary liver transplantation emerges which transplants the whole or some parts of a donor liver outside the original liver position on the condition that some parts or the whole of the original liver were retained.As for the liver transplantation with poor conditions on portal vein,reconstruction of portal vein has become an aporia.Based on this,some scholars put forward the theory——arterialization of portal vein(PVA),namely a method to increase arterial blood supply or replace portal vein blood perfusion of liver by establishing some pathes among artery and portal vein or its branches.The research background and current situation of heterotopic auxiliary liver transplantation with portal vein arterialization,the transplanting position of donor liver,vessel reconstruction,dynamics mechanism after reconstruction and liver regene-ration are summarized in this review.
