Objective:To investigate the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) at Neiguan (PC 6) and Baihui (GV 20) by observing the changes of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein(C/EBP) homologous protein (CHOP) and caspase-12 gene expressions in rats after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), and explore whether the apoptosis pathway of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is involved in the protective mechanisms of EA.
Methods:Sixty rats were randomly assigned to five groups (12 in each group): a normal control group (group A), a sham-operation group (group B), an operation group (group C), an Edaravone group (group D) and an EA group (group E). The cerebral IRI rat model was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) using intraluminal monofilament. 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining was adopted in the measurement of cerebral infarction volume. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to determine the mRNA expressions of CHOP and caspase-12.
Results: Compared with group A and group B, the volume of cerebral infarction and mRNA expressions of CHOP and caspase-12 in group C, group D and group E were increased, with statistical significances (P<0.05 orP<0.01); compared with group C, the volume of cerebral infarction and mRNA expressions of CHOP and caspase-12 in group D and group E were decreased significantly (P<0.05 orP<0.01); there were no significant differences between group D and group E in comparing the above items (P>0.05).
Conclusion:EA at Neiguan (PC 6) and Baihui (GV 20) can effectively suppress the volume of cerebral infarction. Furthermore, the underlying mechanism of EA at Neiguan (PC 6) and Baihui (GV 20) is possibly related to the down-regulation of CHOP and caspase-12 mRNA expressions, so as to decrease cell apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antibiotic resistance of clinical isolates in People’s Hospital of Qingyang during 2014 to provide evidence for rational antimicrobial therapy.Methods Bacterial strains were isolated and identified by routine methods and tested by disk diffusion method and E-test for antimicrobial susceptibility. The data were analyzed according to CLSI breakpoints using WHONET 5.6 software.Results Of the 2 121 nonduplicate strains isolated from January through December 2014, 1 565 (73.8%) were gram-negative and 556 (26.2%) were gram-positive strains. The top ifve pathogens wereE. coli, K. pneumoniae, A. baumannii, S. aureusand P. aeruginosa. The prevalence of methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant coagulase negativeStaphylococcus (MRCNS) was 44.6% and 15.4%, respectively.E. coli was the most common gram-negative bacterial species, whileS. aureus was the most common gram-positive bacteria species. Gram-positive bacteria were still highly susceptible to vancomycin, and gram-negative bacteria (such as Enterobacteriaceae) were still highly susceptible to carbapenems.ConclusionsE. coli is the most prevalent pathogen isolated from inpatients in this hospital during 2014. The prevalence of ESBLs-producing strains is the highest inE. coli isolates. The pathogenic bacteria in this hospital showed increasing resistance to a variety of antibacterial agents. Surveillance of antibiotic resistance and effective control measures are necessary to control the growing antimicrobial resistance.
