Objective To investigate the bacteriological features and the epidemiology of methicillin－ resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in patients with impetigo, and provide evidence for selection of appropriate agents for treating impetigo and its complications. Methods Two hundred and forty－ six out- patients with impetigo were surveyed. Cultures were obtained from impetiginous lesions. Antibiotic susceptibility tests on 212 S.aureus isolates were performed by standard agar dilution testing (MIC). Results In a total of 246 isolates, 87.0％ yielded S.aureus alone, 2.0％ S.aureus and Group A beta－ hemolytic streptococcus (GABHS), 1.6％ GABHS alone, 4.1％ Staphylococcus epidermidis. Fifteen antimicrobial agents were used in the susceptibility tests. One hundred percent of S. aureus isolates were resistant to penicillin, 87.7％ were resistant to erythromycin, followed by clindamycin (75.5％ ), tetracycline (63.2％ ), chloramphenicol (54.2％ ), ampicillin－ sulbactam (44.8％ ), oxacillin (30.2％ ), ciprofloxacin (12.8％ ), cefotaxime (0.9％ ), fusidic acid (0.9％ ) and gentamicin (0.9％ ). None of the S.aureus isolates was resistant to vancomycin, cefazolin, cefuroxime and mupirocin. Sixty- four MRSA strains were isolated. No vancomycin resistant S.aureus strain was found. Conclusions Penicillin, erythromycin, clindamycin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol and ampicillin－ sulbactam prove to be no longer the appropriate therapeutic agents. Cephalosporin, mupirocin and fusidic acid might be the good choice for treatment of impetigo in our region.

Fish protein powder and fresh fish meal had been successfuly applied to infant feeding as milk substitute for infants during 1962-1964 by Shanghai Children's Hospital.On this basis the authors conducted another experiment intending to testify the therapeutic effect of fish protein powder in 1980-1981. One hundred and fifty infantile diarrhea cases were studied, wherein, 121 children aged under 12 months. By administering fish protein powder to the patients with various dosages according to ages, generally 5 gms. per day in a certain period, it was found that of the total diarrhea patients under study, 53.3% completely recovered, 22.0% became better significantly, 17.3% took a favourable turn, and 7.3% failed to respond to the treatment.Intensive observation and statistical analysis revealed that fish protein powder is not only suitable for normal infants as their milk supplement but also effective as a pharmaceutical to cure infantile diarrhea, especially for those who suffer from malnutrition with complications. Its pharmacology, however, has yet to be disclosed.

Objective To investigate certain risk factors for and their impact on abnormal liver function in middle-aged and elderly adults.Methods A case-control study was constructed based on the SAGE cohort of 8642 registered residents aged 50 years or over in Shanghai.Of them,137 individuals with abnormal liver function,defined as aspartate transaminase (AST)＞ 40 U/L or alanine aminotransferase (ALT)＞ 40 U/L,were randomly selected as the observation group,while 411 healthy controls were 3 ∶ 1 matched with the cases in the observation group by gender and age (1 year).Face-to-face administered questionnaires and physical examinations were conducted and serum samples were tested for ALT,AST,glucose (GLU),total cholesterol (TC),triglycreide (TG),hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) and anti-hepatitis C virus antibody (anti-HCV Ab).Chi square test and rank sum test were used for single factor analysis,and logistic regression analysis was used for multiple factors.Results The prevalence of HBsAg positive patients was 12.4 ％ (68/548) Univariate analysis showed that hepatitis virus infection and body mass index (BMI) were associated with abnormal liver function (both P＜0.000).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hepatitis virus infection (OR=1.85,95％ CI:1.04 3.29,P-0.036) and obesity (OR=3.60,95％CI:1.92-6.73,P＜0.001) increased the risk of abnormal liver function,whereas chronic medication (OR=0.51,95％ CI:0.32-0.80,P =0.004) decreased the risk of abnormal liver function.Conclusions Among the study population,hepatitis virus infection and obesity are risk factors for abnormal liver function in middle-aged and elderly people.After adjustment for potential confounders,chronic medication is negatively correlated with abnormal liver function and may be a protective factor for liver function.

This paper is a follow-up study of 329 children in factory-run nurseries in urban Shanghai. The investigation lasted for a period of one year for each index-child, focusing on the conditions of nutrition, development and diseases of the children of various ages.Comparison between nutritionl findings and RDA of China disclosed that calorie intake of most of the index-child groups were 80-85% of RDA, the only exception being the 6-12 months group where the average calorie intake showed 90%. Protein intake of all groups was over 80% of RDA. Fe intake was lower than RDA, except for 18-month-old and over.Weight and height of the children were compared with the anthropo-metric data established in 1985 (1985 data) for Shanghai children under six years of age. It was found that the average weight and height appeared differently according to their age. Average weight of children under one year old was slightly higher than 1985 data, while average height was lower than 1985 data once the children reached 10 months old. Average weight, however, became lower than the 1985 data after the children were two years old. Over 60% of the index between 6-18 months old suffered from anemia (IDA).Accordingly, it is requested that calorie and iron intake should be supplemented.

Objective To explore the status quo and influencing factors of caring efficacy of nursing undergraduate students so as to provide reference for improving their caring efficacy. Method A cross-sectional study was conducted. Totally 274 nursing undergraduate students from 10 general hospitals in Sichuan Province were surveyed by using general information questionnaire, professional model scale for nursing students, professional identity questionnaire for nursing students and caring efficacy scale. Results The average score of caring efficacy of undergraduate nursing students was (4.00 ±0.64), which was lower that of jurior nurse before training (4.55±0.34) and after training (4.98±0.27). The average score of career identity and professional model (3.63±0.68) were postively related with career effevtieness (all P＜0.001). The care from family, medical staffs, job-taking benefits and dimission risks, social comparison and self-reflection were the main factors influencing caring efficacy (P＜0.01), which explained 40.9％ of the varianceof caring efficacy among undergraduate nursing students. Conclusions Caring efficacy of the nursing students was above the middle level, but lower than that of clinical junior nurses. Their professional model and professional identity were positively correlated with caring efficacy. It is necessary to establish a good professional model, through example education, perfect career planning and improve the professional identity of nursing undergraduate students, so as to improve their caring efficacy of nursing students, and then improve the quality of nursing team reserves.

Objective To explore the correlation between 5-LO,Hcy and the stability of carotid artery arteriosclerosis (CAS).Methods A total of 176 patients diagnosis as CAS were assigned as study group then subdivided into stable plaques SP (group) and instable plaques IP(group).108 healthy volunteers were assigned as control group.The serum levels of 5-LO and Hcy were measured and the relationship between the two groups were analyzed.The risk factors of CAS were investigated by Logistic regression analysis and 5-LO and Hcy were used to predict the stability of carotid atherosclerotic plaque by drawing ROC curve.Results The levels of 5-LO and Hcy in the IP group were higher than those in the SP group and the control group(P＜0.05).The level of Hcy in SP group was higher than that in the control group (P＜0.05),while there is no statistical significance between SP and control group in the level of serum 5-LO(P＞0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that 5-LO,Hcy and diabetes were the risk factors of CAS (P＜0.05).The ROC curve indicate that the optimal cut-off concentration of 5-LO was 232.89 pg/mL for discriminating the IP from SP,the sensibility and specificity were 84.4％ and 81.8％ respectively.And the optimal cut-off concentration of Hcy was 12.53 μmol/L and the sensibility and specificity were 70.1％ and 66.7％ respectively.Conclusion Serum 5-LO and Hcy are risk factors for predicting the stability of CAS plaques;regulating both levels may be a potential target for clinically stable CAS.

Objective To compare the acoustic signal,mucosal wave and aerodynamic parameter (phonation threshold pressure,PTP) under different sub-glottal pressure (SGP) on the excised canine models with different extent of glottal incompetence.Methods Perturbation measures and nonlinear dynamic measures were applied to analyze the acoustic signal (jitter,shimmer),mucosal wave [frequency (F),amplitude (A),phase (P)] and PTP from our study including 11 excised canine larynges with different extent of glottal incompetence (0 mm,1 mm,2 mm,3 mm,n =11,respectively) under 1-4 kPa sub-glottal pressure.Results There were significant differences between different groups in jitter,shimmer,amplitude,frequency and PTP under various SGPs and extent of glottal incompetence (all P ＜ 0.05),inversely,there was no significant difference in P between groups (P ＞ 0.05).Jitter and shimmer changed obviously when the SGP increased to 3 kPa in the control group and GI 1 mm group.Jitter and shimmer changed obviously when the SGP increased to 2 kPa in the GI 2 mm and 3 mm groups.The F and A of mucosal wave increased with increasing SGP,decreased with increasing GI,and the P changed irregularly.There was statistically significant difference of PTP between different GI groups.Conclusions The SGP and the extent of GI had obvious affection on the the acoustic signal,mucosal wave and aerodynamic parameters.

OBJECTIVE： To optimize the proteolytic enzymes for enzymolysis technology of degreasing ointment from Periplaneta americana， and to improve the extraction rate and activity of anti-liver fibrosis active part from P. americana. METHODS： Using degreasing ointment of P. americana as control， ninhydrin method and folin-ciocalteu method were used to investigate the hydrolysis degree of trypsin （TR）， pepsin （PE）， alkaline protease （AL）， papain （PA） and neutral protease （NE） to the degreasing ointment. Macroporous resin isolation and purification method was used to investigate the yield of elution part from hydrolyzate， with 50％， 60％， 70％， 95％ ethanol as eluting solvents. Inhibition test in vitro of rat hepatic stellate cells HSC-T6 was performed， and anti-liver fibrosis activity of elution part from hydrolyzate was investigated. RESULTS： The hydrolysis degree of PA and NE were 14.15％ and 15.70％， showing strong enzymatic hydrolysis ability. The yield of 95％ ethanol elution part from PA， NE and AL hydrolyzate were （0.73±0.04）％，（0.65±0.01）％ and（0.64±0.05）％， improving 30.36％， 16.07％， 14.29％ compared with degreasing ointment without enzyme. Results of inhibition test in vitro showed that inhibitory rate of 50％， 60％， 70％ ethanol elution parts isolated and  purified from hydrolyzate had a low inhibition rate or a growth-promoting effect on HSC-T6 cells. Inhibition rates of 95％ ethanol elution parts to HSC-T6 cells were all more than 20％. IC50 of 95％ ethanol elution part isolated and purified from PA and NE hydrolyzate for 24-72 h were 94.5-112.3 and 117.1-120.0 μg/mL， which were lower than that （116.1-123.0 μg/mL） of degreasing ointment without enzyme. CONCLUSIONS： PA is the best hydrolyzate for enzymolysis technology of active parts against liver fibrosis in degreasing ointment from P. americana， followed by NE and AL； PE and TR， which have poor effect， are not suitable for the enzymatic hydrolysis technology.

Objective To investigate the effect of C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein 13 protein(CTRP13)on the autophagy function of primary rat liver sinusoidal endothelial cells(rLSECs)induced by high glucose through AMP-activated protein kinase/mammalian target of rapamycin complex(AMPK/mTOR)pathway.Methods After isolation,identification and culture,original rat liver sinusoid endothelial cells(rrLSECs)were divided into normal control(NC)group,high glucose(HG)group,HG +LV-CTRP13 group,HG+ lentiviral empty vector(LV-Con)group(HG+LV-Con).CTRP13 lentivirus over expression vector(LV-CTRP13)and lentivirus empty vector(LV-Con)were constructed and transfected into rrLSECs.According to the intervention methods of AMPK inhibitor Compound C,mTOR inhibitor Torin1 and autophagy inhibitor 3MA,the transfected cell were divided into normal control(NC)group,high glucose(HG)group,HG+LV-CTRP13 group,HG+lentiviral empty vector(LV-Con)group(HG+ LV-Con).qRT-PCR and western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of CTRP13,autophagy related protein Beclin1,human microtubule-associated protein light chain 3II(LC3II),human plasma membrane membrane vesicle association proteins(PLVAP)and p-AMPK and p-MTOR in rat rLSECs of each group.Results Compared with NC group,the number of autophagosome was decreased in HG and HG+LV-CTRP13 group(P＜0.05).Compared with HG group,the number of autophagosome bodies was increased in HG +LV-CTRP13 group(P＜0.05).The CTRP13 mRNA and protein expression was higher in NC and HG + LV-CTRP13 groups than in HG and HG + LV-Con groups(P＜0.05).In HG+LC-CTRP13 group,Beclin1,LC3II,p-AMPK,and AMPK mRNA,Beclin1,LC3II/LC3I protein expression were higher than HG and HG + LV-Con group(P＜0.05),PLVAP,p-mTOR,mTOR mRNA,and PLVAP protein expression were lower than HG and HG+LV-Con group(P＜0.05).Comparison with HG + LV-CTRP13,p-mTOR protein expression in HG+LV-CTRP13+Compound C group increased(P＜0.05),while expressions of CTRP13,Beclin1 and LC3II/LC3I protein decreased(P＜0.05);the protein expressions of p-AMPK,Beclin1 and LC3II/LC3I were increased in HG+LV+ CTRP13+Torin1 group(P＜0.05),while CTRP13 and p-mTOR protein expression was decreased(P＜0.05);protein expressions of p-AMPK,p-mTOR and LC3II/LC3I were higher in HG+LV-CTRP13 + 3MA group(P＜0.05),while LC3II/LC3I protein expression was lower(P＜0.05).Conclusion CTRP13 overexpression activates AMPK/mTOR-autophagy signaling pathway,which may play a protective role in the function of rLSECs anddelay liver sinusoid capillarization.
