Objective:To explore the in vitro antibacterial effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) combined with 3.5 g/L povidone iodine solution on the biofilm of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Methods:Immature (cultured for 24 hours) and mature (cultured for 72 hours) MRSA biofilms were established on the surfaces of glass slides or confocal dishes. They were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n=9) according to different intervention methods. In the control group, glass slides or confocal dishes were placed in 500 mL of physiological saline for 3 minutes; in the PI group, glass slides or confocal dishes were placed in 500 mL of 3.5 g/L povidone iodine solution for 3 minutes; in the LIPUS group, glass slides or confocal dishes were placed in 500 mL of physiological saline and simultaneously intervened with LIPUS for 3 minutes; in the LIPUS & PI group, glass slides or confocal dishes were placed into 500 mL of 3.5 g/L povidone iodine solution and simultaneously intervened with LIPUS for 3 minutes. After intervention, confocal microscopy (CLSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to observe and compare the structure, morphology, bacterial survival, and viable cell count of the MRSA biofilms among the 4 groups. Results:On the MRSA biofilms cultured for 24 and 72 hours, CLSM and SEM observed sparse biofilms in the LIPUS group and LIPUS & PI group, and also a large number of dead bacteria in the LIPUS & PI group. On the MRSA biofilms cultured for 24 hours, the bacterial colony counts in the control group, PI group, LIPUS group, and LIPUS & PI group were (1.21±0.45)×10 6 CFU/mL, (3.38±2.81)×10 3 CFU/mL, (1.82±0.37)×10 3 CFU/mL, and (69.67±27.93) CFU/mL, respectively. Except for the comparison between PI group and LIPUS group, which showed no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05), there were statistically significant differences between the other groups when compared pairwise ( P<0.05). On the MRSA biofilms cultured for 72 hours, the bacterial colony counts in the control group, PI group, LIPUS group, and LIPUS & PI group were (3.01±0.70)×10 6 CFU/mL, (1.80±1.52)×10 5 CFU/mL, (2.10±0.52)×10 3 CFU/mL, and (68.67±19.55) CFU/mL, respectively. There were statistically significant differences between the 4 groups when compared pairwise ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Application of LIPUS or 3.5 g/L povidone iodine alone for 3 minutes on the immature or mature MRSA biofilms in vitro only leads to partial antibacterial activity. However, LIPUS can enhance the in vitro antibacterial effect of 3.5 g/L povidone iodine on the MRSA biofilms at different maturity levels.

Objective:To explore the application value of uterine net-like compression suture in postpartum hemorrhage(PPH).Methods:The data of 84 refractory PPH patients from six hospitals specialized in children and women in Chengdu from January 2015 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.They were divided into two groups according to the surgical methods:41 cases of B-Lynch suture(control group)and 43 cases of uterine net-like compression suture(observation group).The clinical efficacy of the two methods was observed,and the perioperative indicators and clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups.Results:①31 cases in the control group and 42 cases in the observation group,were successfully hemostatic and retained the uterus,with effective rates of 75.61%and 97.67%,respectively.The difference was statistically significant(P＜0.01).②There were no significant differences in the rates of all preoperative diagnosis and preoperative blood loss between the two groups(P＞0.05);in the observation group,the intraoperative and 2 h postoperative blood loss,the units of postoperative blood transfusion,the incidence rate of requiring postoperative intensive care and the hospitalization days,were less than those in the control group(P＜0.01).③During a follow-up period of 10-48 months,all 73 pa-tients without hysterectomy recovered menstrual cycles within 12 months after the surgery.Thirteen cases experi-enced reduced menstrual flow with cycle changes in the control group(41.94%),while 6 cases experienced in the observation group(14.29%),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.01);5 cases(16.13%)had sub-sequent pregnancy in the control group,while 12 cases(28.57%)had in the other,with no significant difference(P＞0.05).Conclusions:The two uterine sutures for refractory PPH have both achieved good clinical curative effects,and the uterine net-like compression suture shows therapeutic advantages on intraoperative and postoper-ative blood loss,postoperative blood transfusion,and hospitalization days.The uterine net-like compression suture has no special requirements for medical devices or materials,and thus has important popularization and applica-tion value for primary obstetrics with limited medical conditions.

Objective To explore the intrinsic relationship between circadian clock and cell cycle in osteoarthritis(OA)chondrocytes,especially the regulation of cell cycle-related genes by the clock gene Bmal1.Methods The chondroid ATDC5 cells induced by insulin-transfering-selenium(ITS)were divided into control group,OA group and LV-Bmal1 group.The cell viability of each group was detected by CCK8 method.The expression of Bmal1,Per1,Wee1,Cdk1,Ccnb1 and Mmp13 mRNA in each group was detected by RT-qPCR.The expression of BMAL1,PER1,WEE1,CDK1,CCNB1 and MMP13 protein in each group was detected by Western blot.The effects of Bmal1 on different stages of cell cycle and apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry.The regulation of Bmal1 on Per1,Wee1,Cdk1,Ccnb1 and Mmp13 and their roles in OA were analyzed.Results Compared with the normal group,the cell viability of the OA group was increased,the relative mRNA expression of Bmal1 and Wee1 in the OA group decreased,and the relative mRNA expression of Per1,Cdk1,Ccnb1 and Mmp13 increased signif-icantly.The cell viability of LV-Bmal1 group decreased,the relative expression of Bmal1 and Wee1 mRNA in-creased,and the relative expression of Per1,Cdk1,Ccnb1 and Mmp13 mRNA decreased(P＜0.05).Correlation analysis showed that Bmal1 was positively correlated with Wee1 and they were negatively correlated with Per1,Cdk1,Ccnb1 or Mmp13.The results of Western blot showed that protein expression in different groups were con-sistent with the trend of PCR.The results of cell cycle and apoptosis showed that compared with the normal group,the S phase and G2/M phase of the OA group were shortened,the proportion of cells decreased significantly,and the proportion of early and late apoptosis increased.The S phase and G2/M phase of the LV-Bmal1 group were prolonged,the proportion of cells was increased,and the proportion of early and late apoptosis was decreased.Conclusions Circadian clock gene Bmal1 in inflammatory chondrocytes might regulate the expression of cell cycle-related genes.
