BACKGROUND:Bone marrow stromal stem cels transplanted into infracted cardiac tissue can inhibit and reduce myocardial apoptosis, but whether this effect is correlated with improvement in cardiac function is stil unclear. OBJECTIVE:To study the early effect of bone marrow stromal stem cels transplanted into the ischemic myocardium on the cardiac function. METHODS: Models of acute myocardial infarction were established by ligation of the left anterior descending branch, while no ligation was done in the sham group. In the transplantation group, rat bone marrow stromal stem cels (0.1 mL, 2×106 RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 3 days after cel transplantation, myocardial apoptosis was more evident in the infarct and ischemic zones of the model group than the sham group; the number of apoptotic myocardial cels was significantly lower in the infarct and ischemic zones of the transplantation group than the model group. Compared with the sham group, the mean arterial blood pressure and left ventricular systolic pressure were ) were injected into five sites on the edge of infarcted myocardial tissues at 30 minutes after myocardial infarction. In the sham group and model group, the same volume of normal saline was injected into the myocardial tissues. Three days after cel transplantation, hemodynamic monitoring, echocardiography, TUNEL assay were employed to detect myocardial apoptosis. significantly reduced, the left ventricular end diastolic pressure was increased, and the left ventricular ejection fraction and shortened fraction were significantly lowered in the model and transplantation groups (P < 0.05), but there was no difference between the model and transplantation groups (P > 0.05). These findings indicate that myocardial apoptosis can be reduced but the cardiac function cannot be improved in acute myocardial infarction rats at early stage after bone marrow stromal stem cels transplantation.

Objective To investigate the vicissitude of infection pathogens and their change in resistance to antibiotics in our hospital in the past 10 years, and to offer scientific information for clinical anti-infection treatment. Methods The data of pathogens identified and susceptibility test with VITEK system as well as K-B methods from 1995 to 2002 were analyzed. Results Gram negative bacteria was the predominance bacteria in recent 5 years, accounting for 60.7%-70.2% of all pathogens, with Pseudomonas aeruginosa ranked first, followed by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Serratia sp, Enterobacter sp and Acinetobacter sp. The ratio of Acinetobacter sp seemed to be increased in 1998, and it kept a high level in recent years. The isolation rate of Staphylococcus aureus from clinical specimens was the highest among pathogens since 1999, and 42.9%-74.5% of them were Methicillin-resistance S. aureus (MRSA). MRSA was found to be highly resistant to many antibiotics, and there was a tendency of increasing resistance to all kinds of antibiotics in Ps. aeruginosa and Acinetobacter species. Conclusion The significant changes in infectious pathogens in our hospital were an increase in S. aureus and decrease in E.coli in constituent ratios, as well as an elevation of drug resistance level of predominate bacteria. The results suggest that corresponding adjustment should be made in the strategy of infection treatment.

Objective To study the mechanism of resistance to antibiotics and disinfectants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from clinical specimens in a hospital, and to provide a reference for the use of aminoglycoside antibiotics for the treatment of P. aeruginosa infection as well as disinfection and sterilization. Methods 35 strains of multi-resistant P. aeruginosa were screened from clinical specimens by susceptibility test of agar dilution. Five kinds of aminoglycoside modifying enzyme gene and qzcE?1 gene were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Results The positive rates of aminoglycoside modifying enzyme genes, including aac(3)-Ⅱ, aac(6′)-Ⅰ, aac(6′)-Ⅱ, ant(3″)-Ⅰ and ant(2″)-Ⅰ, were 48.6%, 40%, 54.3%, 45.7% and 60%, respectively, and nearly all strains were positive for 2 or more than 2 kinds of above aminoglycoside modifying enzyme gene. The positive rate of qzcE?1 gene was 94.3%. Conclusions There was a close relationship between aminoglycoside modifying enzyme producing P. aeruginosa and its multi-resistance to antibiotics, The results suugested that aminoglycosides should be used cautiously, and it should be based on the result of susceptibility test in the treatment of P. aeruginosa infection, and it was inadvisable to use quaternary ammonium and biguanides disinfectant in disinfection and sterilization.

Objective To clarify the diagnostic value of oblique axial scan parallel to the course of the anterior talofibular ligament in magnetic resonance imaging of anterior talofibular ligament in patients with chronic ankle instability. Methods 96 patients with ankle injury who were admitted into our hospital form June 2010 to March 2015 were examed with oblique axial scan beside the routine axial magnetic res-onance imaging examination. The grade of the anterior talofibular ligament injury and confirmed full-length views of the anterior talofibular lig-ament were analyzed by two musculoskeletal radiologists ( with more than 5 years experience) , and associated lesions were also checked. Re-sults The full-length view of the anterior talofibular ligament was checked in 69 patients (71. 8%) through the routine axial view and it was checked in 93 patients (96. 9%) through the oblique axial scan view. Anterior talofibular ligament injury was checked in 71 patients through the oblique axial scan, which was 19 patients more than that through the routine axial. Conclusion An additional oblique axial scan is use-ful in evaluation of anterior talofiibular ligament in patients with ankle injury.
