Objective To explore the effects of Zinc Protoporphyrin and Heme on the expression of HO-1 in cochlear and the change of auditory brainstem response on diffuse traumatic brain injury model of rats.Methods Diffuse traumatic brain injury model of rats were established and randomly divided into thirteen groups.Then auditory brainstem response examination,light microscope,immunohistochemistry technique were used to evaluate the change of auditory brainstem response and the expression of HO-1 in cochlear.Results The differences of auditory brainstem response threshold and latency of wave between the experimental and the normal control group were obvious(P<0.05).The expression of HO-1 in the control group was normal,whereas there were obvious changes of inner ear HO-1 expression in the traumatic groups.The grey value of HO-1 expression in trauma group,Znpp group and heme group was significantly associated with auditory function change(P<0.05).Conclusion There were influence of Zinc Protoporphyrin and Hemeon the inner ear HO-1 expression and the change of auditory brainstem response with diffuse traumatic brain injury model of rats.The protective effect of heme on auditory function may be associated with the increased expression of HO-1.

Objective:To investigate the molecular epidemiological characteristics and antibiotic resistance of Clostridioides difficile ( Cd) in hospitalized diarrhea patients in a tertiary hospital in Shaanxi Province. Methods:This study collected 425 stool samples of hospitalized diarrhea patients from October 2018 to December 2021 for isolation and identification of Cd. Toxin genes carried by the isolates were detected. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) was performed to analyze the phylogenetic profile. Antibiotic susceptibility was analyzed by E-test. Results:Forty-nine strains of Cd were isolated from the 425 samples, including 37 strains of toxigenic Cd (75.5%, 37/49). The detection rate of Cd was 14.0% (25/179) in diarrhea patients aged ≥65 years old and 36.4% (4/11) in Nephrology Department. In the 37 toxigenic Cd strains, A -B + CDT -Cd, A + B + CDT -Cd and A + B + CDT +Cd accounted for 18.9% (7/37), 78.4% (29/37) and 2.7% (1/37), respectively. There were 24 ST types, among which ST2, ST3 and ST54 were the predominant types, each accounting for 12.2% (6/49). All strains were sensitive to metronidazole and vancomycin, with a high resistance rate of 93.9% (46/49) to ciprofloxacin and a low resistance rate of 12.2% (6/49) and 10.2% (5/49) to rifampicin and meropenem, respectively. Conclusions:The main type of toxigenic strains was A + B + CDT -. ST2, ST3 and ST54 were the predominant types and the distribution of ST types was scattered. All isolates were sensitive to metronidazole and vancomycin and most of them were resistant to ciprofloxacin.
