Objective To analyze and monitor the distribution of EBSLs-producing E.coli in our hospital and its resistance to commonly used antibacterial drugs.Methods The drug sensitivity test results of E.coli cultured in our hospital from 2008 to 2011 were continuously observed and performed the summary and the descriptive analysis.Results The detection rate of EBSLs-produ-cing E.coli during these 4 years was more than 50%.The generation rate of ESBLs-producing E.coli from the pharyngeal swab samples was the highest.The drug resistance of EBSLs-producing E.coli was mostly higher than that of non-EBSLs-producing E. coli,the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05).EBSLs-producing E.Coli showed the multi-drug resistant phenomenon. But the resistance rate of EBSLs-producing E.Coli to some antimicrobial drugs had the decreasing tendency year by year.Conclusion The drug-resistance situation of ESBLs-producing E.Coli is serious.The diceovered carbapenems-resistance ESBLs-producing E. Coli should cause the concern.The antibacterial drugs with increased drug-resistance rate should be replaced by the antibacterial drugs with the gradually decreased drug resistance rate.Strengthening the bacterial drug resistance minitoring can timely discover the change trend of clinically isolated bacteria and has the improtant significance to provide reference for clinically empirical medica-tion.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of PAD regimen (bortezomib, doxorubicin, dexamethasone) and VAD-like T regimen (vincristine, doxorubicin/doxorubicin derivatives, dexamethasone combined with thalidomide) in the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). Methods The efficacy of 54 patients with MM who received VAD like-T regimen and 72 patients with MM who were treated with PAD regimen, including complete remission (CR) rate, very good partial remission (VGPR) rate, overall response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and adverse events, were retrospectively analyzed. Results The CR rate of PAD group was higher than that of VAD-like T group [31.5 % (23/72) vs. 9.3 % (5/54), χ2=0.30, P=0.002]. The VGPR rate and ORR of PAD group were not statistically higher than those of VAD-like T group [16.7 % (12/72) vs. 16.6 % (9/54), P=0.180; 82.2 %(65/72) vs. 81.5 % (44/54), P=0.190, respectively]. Median PFS of PAD group was significant longer than that of VAD-like T group [(38.2±2.2) months vs. (28.0±7.6) months, P=0.017]. The 3- and 5-year OS rates of PAD group were higher than those of VAD-like T group, but there were no significant differences between two groups (P>0.05). In terms of the adverse events, the incidence of peripheral neuropathy in PAD group was significantly higher than that of VAD-like T group [31.5 % (23/72) vs. 14.5 % (8/54), P=0.03]. Conclusions Compared with PAD protocol, the CR and median PFS of VAD-like T regimen are poor, however, VGPR,ORR, PFS and 5-year OS are similar between the two groups, and VAD-like T regimen is safer with low incidence of peripheral neuropathy. VAD-like T regimen as the first-line treatment is effective and well-tolerated, especially for newly diagnosed MM patients not suitable for transplantation and bortezomib.

BACKGROUND:Placental mesenchymal stem cels are becoming a new source of seed cels because of wide range of sources, low immunogenicity and not involving ethical issues.
OBJECTIVE:To elaborate the sources, biological characteristics and latest application of placental mesenchymal stem cels.
METHODS:Literature search was performed in PubMed, ScienceDirect, OvidSP, CNKI databases for relevant literatures published from 2003 to 2015. The key words were “placenta, mesenchymal stem cels, placenta mesenchymal stem cels, cel transplantation, application mechanism” in Chinese and English, respectively. Then, 57 papers were further analyzed and reviewed in line with the theme.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Placental mesenchymal stem cels have been isolated and cultured successfuly, and confirmed to have multi-differentiation potential. A large number of placental mesenchymal stem cels have been used in the experimental animal and clinical researches, and they have a great potential in bone tissue engineering, revascularizaion and nerve repair. However, the specific mechanism underlying the application of placental mesenchymal stem cels is not clear. In order to ensure the safety and effectiveness, there are stil many problems to be further studied before placental mesenchymal stem cels are widely used in clinic.

Objective: To observe the inlfuence of simvastatin combining ezetimibe on blood levels of glucose and lipids in patients of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).
Methods: A total of 316 patients with ACS and IGT were randomly divided into 2 groups: Treatment group, the patients received simvastatin 20 mg/day with ezetimibe 10 mg/day,n=160 and Control group, the patients received simvastatin 20 mg/day,n=156. All patients were treated for 24 months. Blood levels of total cholesterol (TC) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were observed at 6, 12 and 24 months of medication; fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2 hour postprandial blood glucose (2hPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and the number of patients with new onset diabetes were examined at 6 days and 12, 24 months of medication.
Results:①In Treatment group, at 6 months of medication, blood levels of TC (mmol/L) and LDL-C (mmol/L) were (3.5 ± 0.5) and (2.1 ± 0.4) which were both lower than baseline levels (5.2±1.2) and (3.5±0.5),P<0.05; at 12 and 24 months, TC and LDL-C were (3.1 ± 1.0), (1.8 ± 0.6) and (3.0 ± 0.6), (1.8 ± 0.5), TC and LDL-C were consistently decreased, all P<0.05. In Control group, at 6 months of medication, TC and LDL-C were (4.0 ± 0.5) and (2.4 ± 0.5) which were both lower than baseline levels (5.3 ± 0.8) and (3.1 ± 0.4),P<0.05; at 12 and 24 months, TC and LDL-C were (3.8 ± 0.6), (2.3 ± 0.6) and (3.7 ± 0.5), (2.1 ± 0.7), allP<0.05. TC and LDL-C levels in Treatment group were lower than Control group at 6, 12 and 24 months of medication, allP<0.05.②In Treatment group, FBG (mmol/L) levels at 12 and 24 months were similar to 6 days,P>0.05; HbA1c at 12 and 24 months were similar to baseline,P>0.05; 2hPG (mmol/L) level at 24 months was higher than 6 days (9.5 ± 1.1) vs (8.7 ± 1.0),P<0.05; there were 26 patients with new onset diabetes at 24 months after medication. In Control group, 2hPG level at 24 months was higher than 6 days (9.6 ± 0.8) vs (8.7±0.7); there were 25 patients with new onset diabetes at 24 months after medication. The levels of FBG, 2hPG, HbA1c and the number of patients with new onset diabetes were similar between 2 groups, allP>0.05.
Conclusion: Ezetimibe combining simvastatin may better reduce blood lipids, while it had no real effect on blood glucose metabolism in patients with ACS and IGT.

Objective To investigate the effect of exercise preconditioning on the expression of nerve growth factor(NGF) and its receptor TrkA as well as learning-and-memory abilities in rats suffered from focal cerebral ischemia.Methods Thirty-six male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (Sham-MCAO,n=12),focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion group (MCAO,n=12) and exercise preconditioning + cerebral ischemia-reperfusion group (EX+MCAO,n=12).Rats in EX+MCAO group were placed in the treadmill device and accepted 4 weeks exercise training.Then method of middle cerebral artery occlusion was applied to prepare transient focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion model.Garcia's method was used to assess the neural function in rats.Western blotting was applied to test the expression of NGF and TrkA protein in the successfully established experimental MCAO rats.Morris water maze experiment was uti lized to test the learning-and-memory abilities of the rats.Results (1) Compared with Sham-MCAO group,the expression of NGF in rats' brain tissue was lower in MCAO group (cerebral ischemia 1h reperfusion 24h) (P<0.05).The expression of NGF of EX+MCAO group was higher than that of MCAO group,but still lower than that of Sham-MCAO group (P<0.05).(2)The expression of TrkA in rats' brain tissue was higher in MCAO group compared with Sham-MCAO group (P<0.05).Compared with MCAO group,the expression of TrkA was even higher in EX+MCAO group (P<0.05).(3)On the fifth day in the Morris water maze test,the latency of MCAO group was significantly longer than that of Sham-MCAO group((9.36± 1.18)s vs (4.86± 1.52) s,P<0.05).However,compared with MCAO group,the latency in EX+MCAO group ((6.02± 1.04) s) was shorter,but still longer than Sham-MCAO group (P<0.05).There was no significant difference among the three groups in the average swimming speed (P>0.05).Conclusion Exercise preconditioning can up-regulate the expressions of NGF and TrkA protein,which can also improve the learning-and-memory abilities in rats suffered from focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury.
