The production conditions of glutathione with shaking flask fermentation by the mutant Saccharomyces J-X25, a methionine-defected strain were studied, and the optimum culture conditions are as follows: initial pH6. 0, temperature 30℃, 100ml in 500ml flask, the inoculum size 10% and agitation rate 220r/min. The emphasis was on the stimulating effect on the cells by dioxogen and the sodium lactate as surfactant. Both of which were added at the logarithmic phase of fermentation, and the GSH production was up to 0. 253g/L , 52% higher than the control without the additions. Compared with the production of GSH initial strain that by the mutant in optimum conditions was increased by 79%.

OBJECTIVE:To study the correlation between antibacterials amount and drug resistance of Echerichia coli,and to provide reference for clinical use of antibacterials. METHODS:Retrospective review was used to calculate DDDs of antibacterials and resistance rate of Escherichia coli to 11 kinds of antibacterials each quarter. The correlation analysis was carried out using the SPSS 13.0 statistical software. RESULTS:The resistance rates of E. coli to piperacillin/tazobactam,cefoperazone/sulbactam and le-vofloxacin were with upward trends,and the others showed downward trends. The resistance rates of E. coli to meropenem and imi-penem/cilastatin appeared in 2014,increasing from 0 to 8.8% and 9.4%,respectively. DDDs of them were significantly correlated to drug resistance of E. coli,showing positive correlation(r=0.915,0.793,P<0.01). DDDs of piperacillin/tazobactam was signif-icantly correlated to resistance rate of E. coli(r=0.807,P<0.01),while that of ceftazidime was negatively correlated to resistance rate of E. coli(r=-0.672,P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in resistance rate of E. coli to other 7 kinds of antibacte-rials. CONCLUSIONS:There are some correlations between the DDDs and resistance rates. We should strengthen the monitoring of bacterial resistance and the management of rational application of antibacterials.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy and safety of three antithrombotic agents on venous thromboembolism (VTE) after unilateral total knee arthroplasty.

METHODSFrom November 2011 to March 2014, 149 patients undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty for knee osteoarthritis were reviewed. Among them, there were 66 males and 83 females, ranging in age from 48 to 76 years old. All the cases were randomly divided into three groups including Aspirin group, low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) group, and rivaroxaban group, according to antithrombotic agents. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE) and bleeding complication (including wound ecchymosis, hematoma and other local complications, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, urinary hemorrhage and other major bleeding events) of antithrombotic agents were observed and analyzed statistically at the 6 week, 8 week, and 12 week after operation.

RESULTSAmong patients who received Aspirin (48 cases), 4 patients had DVT, in 1 patient had PE, and 2 patients had bleeding complication. Among 54 patients in low-molecular-weight heparin group, 3 patients had DVT, 1 patient had PE, and 3 patients had bleeding complication. While among those patients received the rivaroxaban (47 cases), 3 patients had DVT, 0 patient had PE, and 11 patients had bleeding complication. There were no statistically differences among three groups on DVT, and PE (P>0.05). The incidence of bleeding complication in rivaroxaban group was higher than the other two antithrombotic agents, and the difference among the three groups was statistically significant (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONAspirin, low-molecular-weight heparin, and rivaroxaban could effectively reduce the incidence of VTE after total knee arthroplasty, and their efficacy was similar. Rivaroxaban has a higher incidence of bleeding complication and further clinical trials are required to be conducted to assess the safety of rivaroxaban in clinical.
