Objective To investigate the value of fluid resuscitation strategy in septic shock patients by pulse indicator continuous cardiac out ( PiCCO ) .Methods 42 septic shock patients were divided into the PiCCO group(n=26) and the control group(n=16).All patients measured heart rate(HR),mean artery pressure(MAP), central venous pressure(CVP);CI,GEDVI,SVRI,EVLWI,CVP as indicator of fluid resuscitation after 0h,6h,24h of the diagnosis were measured respectively in PiCCO group;CVP as guiding volume resuscitation was measured in the control group .The effect of fluid resuscitation was compared between two groups .To analyse the relationship between CVP,GEDVI and CI in PiCCO group .according to CVP increase 2mmHg ,GEDVI whether elevated 10%.Results After 6h EGDT treatment bundle HR ,MAP,APACHEII score and clearance rate of lactic in PiCCO group improved more than those in control group [(101.3 ±7.8) and (119.4 ±7.2),t=-7.520,P<0.05;(71.8 ±7.6) and (51.5 ±8.9),t=7.873,P<0.05;(17.0 ±3.4) and (22.7 ±4.1),t=-4.978,P>0.05;(53.6 ±11.5) and (-16.5 ±5.2),t =9.283,P <0.05].There were no differences in 28-Day mortality between two groups (t =-2.162,P>0.05),but ICU hospitalization time decreased in PiCCO group [(13.8 ±2.6) and (23.3 ±2.2),t=-5.075,P<0.05].Changes in GEDVI was positively correlated with Changes in CI (r=0.799,P<0.05),while changes in CVP was poorly correlated with CI (r=-0.446,P>0.05).Conclusion Hemodynamic monitoring by PiCCO directed fluid resuscitation strategy can elevate reversal rate .Compared with pressure index CVP ,GEDVI is a sensitive indicator of cardiac preload .Correlation between CVP and GEDVI can reflect cardiac function ,Especially for septic shock patients with cardiac depression .

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common clinical infectious pathogens, and abused antibiotics enhances its resistance. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the major mutant strains. The generation of biofilm reduces the effects of antibiotics on Staphylococcus aureus, which makes the antibiotic therapy limited. New medicine need to be developed, and TCM as the natural medicine is becoming a hot spot. This article reviewed the research of TCM against MRSA biofilmsin recent years, and provided references for research and development of new medicine.

Objective To explore the effect of arsenic trioxide (As2O3) on the migration of neurons and the potential mechanism through the establishment of primary neuron culture from the brains of neonatal rats.Methods Brain tissues were selected from SD neonatal rats for primary neuron calture.The cells were divided into 4 groups based on the addition of As2 O3:normal control group,1 μmol/L As2O3 group,10 μmol/L As2O3 group and 20 μmol/L As2O3 group.The primary neurons were treated with different concentrations of As2O3 and cultured for 24 hours.Boyden chamber assay was used to detect the effect of As2O3 on neuronal migration.Immunofluorescence laser confocal microscope was used to observe the structure of actin.Results In the control group,the cultured neurons showed a regular pattern of distribution.In the 3 groups treated with As2O3,the distribution of neurons was loose and disordered,which was most obvious in the 20 μmol/L As2O3 group.The results showed that the higher concentration of As2O3,more difficult it was for the neurons to survive.The number of neuronal migration was 64.6 ± 4.3 for normal control group,63.0 ± 7.0 for 1 μmol/L As2O3 group,54.8 ± 3.6 for 10 μmol/L As2O3 group,and 21.6 ± 3.9 for 20 μmol/L As2O3 group.The results showed that As2O3 might inhibit the migration of primary neurons in a dose-dependent manner (F =49.31,P <0.001).The normal actin skeleton was destroyed under the laser confocal microscope in 10 μmol/L As2O3 group and 20 μmol/L As2O3 group,while they remained unaffected in normal control group and 1 μmol/L As2O2 group.Conclusion As2 O3 exposure can reduce the neuron migration in a dose-independent manner probably through disrupting the organization of acting cytoskeleton.

Schistosomiasis japonica is an endemic, zoonotic disease of major public health importance in China. Vaccination is needed as a complementary approach to the ongoing control programs. In the present study, we determined if the efficacies of DNA vaccine encoding the SjGST and Sj32 asparaginyl endopeptidase protein could be enhanced by boosting with SjGST-32 protein vaccines. Mice were inoculated with a VR1012-SjGST-32 DNA vaccine followed by boosting with rSjGST-32 at 0, 14 and 28 d. Two weeks after the final boost, mice were challenged percutaneously with cercariae. On day 45 following the challenge, all mice were sacrificed and the numbers of recovered worms and hepatic eggs were counted. Moreover, we analyzed the immune response among various vaccination groups. The results showed that DNA vaccine efficacy was enhanced when mice were boosted with protein vaccine. Adult worm and liver egg burdens were reduced 42.3% and 59.6%, respectively. We further found that DNA vaccine followed by boosting with protein significantly increased the IgG titer and T cell proliferation over those seen in mice vaccinated solely with DNA vaccines. Furthermore, the higher level of IFN-gamma expression in the splenetic CD4+ T cell showed that DNA prime-Protein boosting vaccine induced CD4+ Th1-type responses. Thus, DNA vaccine efficacy was significantly enhanced via boosting protein vaccine which might provide a basis for rational application of the Schistosoma vaccine.
