[Objective] To study the bacteriological feature of the wound infection of open fracture and supply the reasonable advise to the use of antibacterials. [Methods]One hundred and thirty-six samples were collected from the wound patients with open fracture between January in 2004 and December in 2008. The identification of bacteria and drug sensitive test were carded out by ATP-expression.[Results]One hundred and fifty one isolates were collected from 136 samples. The prevalence of staphylococcus aureus, pseudomonas aeruginosa, staphylococcus haemolyticus,staphylococcus epidermidis, eolon bacillus were most ,accounting for 17.22%, 13.24%, 11.92%, 9.93%and 9.27% respectively. The prevalence of MRSA was higher than 57.7%.Gram positive coccus , gram negative bacilli and candida accounted for 48.34%, 43.05% and 8.61% respectively. The prevalence of ESBLs was 28.6%. None of gram negative bacilli was found resistant to sulbactam and cefopcrazone. The resistance rate of gram negative bacilli to ampicillin , ampicillin -sulbactam and cephazolme were 71.4%. The rate of resistance of staphylococcus to methicillin was higher than 57.7%.Except vancomycin was not drug-fast, some sensitive antibacterials include cotrimoxazole, nitrofurantion, rifampicm tetracycline.[Conclusion]Endogenic normal flora and conditioned pathogen from the surroundings have become the main pathogens of the wound infection of open fracture. So the early debride and reasonable use of antibacterials would play a positive role in preventing postoperative fracture infection.

Methods Sixty adult male Sprague?Dawley rats, aged 3 months, weighing 240-260 g, were randomly divided into 5 groups ( n=12 each) using a random number table: sham operation group ( SH group ) , ischemia?reperfusion ( I∕R ) group, diazoxide postconditioning group ( D group ) , ERK1∕2 inhibitor U0126 group ( U group ) , and STAT3 inhibitor Stattic group ( St group) . Myocardial I∕R was produced by occlusion of anterior descending branch of the coronary artery followed by 120 min reperfusionIn I∕R and D groups, 0?4% dimethyl sulfoxide 1 ml and 7 mg∕kg diazoxide ( in 1 ml of 0?4% dimethyl sulfoxide) was injected through the femoral vein at the onset of reperfusionIn U and St groups, U0126 100 μg∕kg and Stattic 500 μg∕kg were injected through the femoral vein at 10 min before reperfusion, and the other procedures were similar to those previously described in group DAt 120 min of reperfusion, the rats were sacrificed, and myocardial specimens were obtained from the left ventricle for determination of myocardial infarct size, cell apoptosis, and ERK1, ERK2 and STAT3 mRNA expression ( real?time PCR), and phosphorylated ERK1∕2 ( p?ERK1∕2) and phosphorylated STAT3 (p?STAT3) (using Western blot). Apoptosis index (AI) was calculated. Results Compared with group S, the myocardial infarct size and AI were significantly increased, and the expression of ERK1, ERK2 and STAT3 mRNA, p?ERK1∕2 and p?STAT3 was down?regulated in group I∕R. Compared with group I∕R, the myocardial infarct size and AI were significantly decreased, and the expression of ERK1, ERK2 and STAT3 mRNA, p?ERK1∕2 and p?STAT3 was up?regulated in group D. Compared with group D, the myocardial infarct size and AI were significantly increased in U and S groups, the expression of ERK1, ERK2 and STAT3 mRNA, p?ERK1∕2 and p?STAT3 was down?regulated in group U, and the expression of STAT3 mRNA and p?STAT3 was down?regulated, and no significant change was found in ERK1 and ERK2 mRNA and p?ERK1∕2 expression in group S. Conclusion STAT3 signaling pathway is located downstream of ERK1∕2 signaling pathway in the mechanism by which diazoxide postconditioning reduces myocardial I∕R injury in rats.

Objective To analyze the mammographic findings of triple-negative breast cancer [TNBC,which is estrogen receptor (ER) negative,progesterone receptor (PR) negative,and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 ( HER2 ) negative ] and triple-positive breast cancer ( TPBC,which is ER positive,PR positive,and HER2 positive ),and to evaluate the relationship of immunohistochemologic receptor status and mammographic findings.MethodsThe immunohistochemistry results of 631 cases with breast cancers were reviewed,including 117 cases of TNBC and 44 cases of TPBC.All of the patients took mammography at initial diagnosis.We retrospectively evaluated the visibility,morphology,distribution and size of the lesion (masses and calcifications) and breast density on mammography of TNBC,and compared them with those of TPBC.The age onset and tumor sizes of TNBC and TPBC were compared by using Chi-square test and t test.ResultsThe visibility rate of TNBC and TPBC on mammography were 88.0%(103/117) and 90.9% (40/44),and the difference between them was insignificant ( x2 =0.055,P >0.05).TNBC was more frequently associated with merely a mass (56/103) than TPBC (12/40) (x2 =6.860,P<0.01 ),and the mean diameter of the mass of TNBC [ ( 2.6 ± 1.4 ) cm ] was larger than that of TPBC [(2.0 ± 0.6) cm](t =2.087,P < 0.05). TNBC were less frequently associated with microcalcifications (37/103) than TPBC ( 24/40 ) ( x2 =7.423,P < 0.01 ).Mammographic density and lesion visibility were similar between the two different immunophenotypes of breast cancers.The mean age of TNBC (52±9) was more than that of TPBC (48 ±8) (t =2.759,P <0.01).Infiltrating ductal carcinoma was the main pathologic type of both groups.Basal-like breast cancer accounted for 49% (57/117 ) of TNBC while none happened in TPBC.ConclusionsTNBC shows merely a mass with indistinct margins,lager size and is less associated with microcalcifications.These mammographic features might be useful in diagnosing triple negative breast cancer.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a treasure of Chinese culture, absorbing the wisdom of the Chinese people. Continuous application of new technologies makes traditional Chinese medicine research advance with the times. After several years of development, high-throughput transcriptome study has become a mature research tool in biology. This paper reviewed the advances in medicine transcriptome study, and compared two sequencing platforms, Roche's GS FLX platform and Illumina's HiSeq 2000 platform. Moreover, this paper introduced medicine transcriptome analysis process, with Panax quinquefolius and Lonicera japonica for examples, showing the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine transcriptome studies. High-throughput transcriptome studies facilitate traditional Chinese medicine research with overall understand of functional genes, give clear elucidation of metabolic pathways, lay molecular foundation for the traditional Chinese medicine research and offer modern interpretation for traditional Chinese medicine theory. However, the current study faces several difficulties, including weak molecular basis, high sequencing cost and staff shortages in data anaysis. In the future, with the development in sequencing technology, the combination of transcriptome and other genomics, such as proteome and metabolome, will lay a solid foundation for the new high-throughput screening and developing model for the traditional Chinese medicine industry.
