OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus (MRS) isolates in Staphylococcus auricularis and S. hominis and detect their drug resistance. METHODS MRS isolates were detected by cefoxitin disc test and susceptibilities were tested by agar dilution method. RESULTS 94.7% and 91.7% MRS isolates were in S. auricularis and S. hominis. MRS strains were resistant to most of antimicrobial agents. There were no isolates resistant to vancomycin and teicoplanin. CONCLUSIONS MRS isolates are highly prevalent in S. auricularis and S. hominis with resistance to most of antimicrobial agents.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus haemolyticus(MRSH)and resistance in S.haemolyticus isolates. METHODS MRSH was detected by cefoxitin disc test and susceptibilities were tested by agar dilution method. RESULTS There were 86.4% of MRSH isolates.MRSH was highly resistant to penicillin,cefazolin,cefuroxime,ceftriaxone,tetracycline,ciprofloxacin,and clindamycin.The resistance rate to amikacin,rifampicine and chloramphenicol was 16.9%,11.2% and 28.1%,respectively.All isolates were susceptible to vancomycin and teicoplanin.Except for tetracycline,amikacin,rifampicin,and chloramphenicol,the resistant rate to other antimicrobial agents was significantly higher in MRSH than in MSSH. CONCLUSIONS MRSH is mostly occupied in S.haemolyticus isolates and resistant to most of antimicrobial agents.More attention should be paid to survey and detect these strains.

Taking human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC)as experimental model which can simulate tumor-derived vascular endothelial cells;the effects of CPU-XT-008;an amino sugar derivative of combretastatin A-4 (CA-4);on HUVEC proliferation;cell cycle distribution;tubulin polymerization and the key regulatory pro-tein of cell cycle were studied.The effect of CPU-XT-008 on the proliferation of HUVEC was determined by MTT assay.The cell cycle distribution caused by CPU-XT-008 was detected by flow cytometry.Immunofluorescence was used to detect apoptosis and tubulin polymerization.The expressions of Cyclin B1;Cdc2 and β-tubulin were detected by Western blotting.Results demonstrated that CPU-XT-008 could target tubulin and inhibit the poly-merization ofβ-tubulin;and it could lead to G2/M cell cycle arrest in HUVEC by up-regulating Cyclin B1 expres-sion and down-regulating Cdc2 and p-Cdc2 expression;which resulted in inhibiting the proliferation of HUVEC and inducing its apoptosis.

Objective:To optimize the formula of ropivacaine hydrochloride transdermal gel. Methods:The steady transdermal rate and cumulative transdermal percentage in 24 h of ropivacaine hydrochloride gel were used as the indices, an orthogonal design was applied to select the optimal formula, and Design Expert 8. 0. 5. 0 software was used to analyze the results. Results: The optimal formula con-tained 2% carbomer, 10% propylene-glycol and 5% Azone. The steady transdermal rate of the optimal formula was 0. 6951 mg·h-1 · cm-2 . The cumulative transdermal percentage in 24 h of the optimal formula was 91. 04%, which was 22. 79% higher than that of ropiva-caine hydrochloride solution with the same concentration. Design Expert 8. 0. 5. 0 software could predict the steady transdermal rate and cumulative transdermal percentage in 24 h of the optimal formula. Conclusion: The preparation design is reasonable, and the gel has promising properties, which is suitable for skin local application.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of vastus medialisoblique enhancement plus electroacupuncture intervention in treating patellar chondromalacia.MethodFifty-two patients meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated to a treatment group of 32 cases and a control group of 20 cases. The treatmentgroup received vastus medialis oblique enhancement plus electroacupuncture intervention and the control group, electroacupuncture intervention alone. Both groups were treated once daily, 10 times as a course, for four consecutive courses. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score was counted in the two groups before and after treatment. The clinical therapeutic effects were evaluated in the two groups.ResultThe VAS score improved significantly in both groups of patients after treatment compared with before(P<0.05). It improved significantly more in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). The cure rate and the total efficacy rate were 37.5% and 96.9%, respectively, in the treatment group, which were higher than a cure rate of 20.0% and a total efficacy rate of 75.0% in the control group, respectively. ConclusionVastus medialis oblique enhancement plus electroacupuncture intervention can improve the clinical symptom of pain more markedly and heighten the clinical therapeutic effect in patients with patellar chondromalacia. Its effect is better than that of electroacupuncture intervention alone.

Objective:To investigate the effects of three herb extracts on cell proliferation and collagen synthesis in cultured hu-man dermal fibroblasts. Methods:The human dermal fibroblasts were isolated and cultured with tissue explant culture technique. Im-munohistochemical staining was performed to observe vimentin in fibroblasts. The proliferation of fibroblasts was determined by MTT as-say. Hydroxyproline in the cultural medium was determined by a digestion method. Results:The cells were typical fibroblasts, and the immunohistochemistry staining of vimentin in the cells was positive. The three herb extracts could promote the proliferation of the fibro-blasts at appropriate concentrations in a time-dependent manner. After the 72-hour culture in the medium, 0. 312 5-5. 000 0 mg·ml-1 Aloe vera gel extract, 0. 156 3-2. 500 0 mg·ml-1 Bletilla striata extract and 0. 075 0 mg·ml-1 salvianolate showed significant effects on the proliferation of fibroblasts (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01 vs the blank group). Compared with that in the blank group, the amount of hydroxyproline in the three herb extracts cultural medium was also increased (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). The effect of salvianolate on the cell proliferation was closely related with time and concentration, and the high concentration group could inhibit the growth of fibroblasts as the extension of time. Conclusion:Aloe vera gel extract, bletilla striata extract and salvianolate can promote the proliferation of fi-broblasts and the production of hydroxyproline, which may contribute to the wound healing.

Objective:To optimize the formula of amlexanox nasal thermosensitive gel spray and establish the quality control meth-od. Methods:Amlexanox nasal thermosensitive gel spray was prepared by a cold dissolving method, and poloxamer 407 (P407) and poloxamer 188 (P188) were used as the carrier materials. Central composite design-response surface methodology was used to optimize the formula with the amount of P407 and P188 as the influencing factors and the gel temperature and the viscosity before gelling as the indices. The content of amlexanox was determined by HPLC. According to Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2010 edition), the other indices of the preparation such as appearance, pH, viscosity, content, total spray times of each bottle and the content of each spray were deter-mined as well. Results:The optimum ratio of P407 and P188 was 17. 0% and 0. 9%,respectively . The average recovery of amlexanox was 98. 8% and RSD was 1. 7%(n=9). The quality of 3 batches of amlexanox nasal thermosensitive gel spray met the related require-ments. Conclusion:The formula and preparation process of amlexanox nasal thermosensitive gel spray are reasonable and feasible with controllable quality, which is worthy of further research.
