Objective To discuss the drug resistance and the vicissitude of Pseudomonas aerugi-nosa in Intensive Care Unit (ICU), in order to provide basis for rational use of antibiotics in clinic. Methods Identification of bacteria was performed by applying ATB Expression Identification System produced by BioMerieux Company; drug susceptibility tesr was done by using K-B method. The drug resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was compared between ICU and general wards; and then the difference of drug resistance was investigated between 2006 and 2007. Resnlts The more sensitive an-tibiotics to Pseudomonas aeruginosa in ICU of our hospital were as follows, amikacin (resistance rate 6.7%-9.4%), eiprofloxacin (resistance rate 7.7%-24.7%), cefoperazone/sulbactam (resistance rate 11.5%-34%), ceftazidime (resistance rate 11.5%-37.7%), aztreonam (resistance rate 20.2%-40.6%). The drug resistance rate of ICU was higher than that of the general wards, and the drug re-sistance rates to ciprofloxacin, ceftazidime, cefoperazone/sutbaetam,meropenem, imipenem and aztreo-nam in 2007 were significantly higher than those in 2006 (P<0.01). Conclusion The drug resistance rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in ICU of our hospital was very high,and it is rising year by year. So it is important to retrospect the results of the drug resistance periodically and provide the up-to-the-mi-nute data of epidemiology and vicissitude of drug resistance.

Objective Better drying methods of Forsythia suspense leaves was studied to provide some basis for the development and utilization of Forsythia suspense leaves. Methods A RP-HPLC method was used on XTerraTMRP8 (3.9 mm?150 mm, 5 ?m) column with acetonitrile-0.1% acetic acid solution (12 : 88) as mobile phase for forsythoside. The detection wavelength of forsythoside was at 328 nm and detection temperature was 30 ℃. Results The contents of forsythoside was higher when dry, microwave drying, absorbent paper drying, steaming 2～10 min, cooking 2～10 min was used to deal with Forsythia suspense leaves. The contents of forsythoside was lower when dried, drying, infrared drying, vacuum drying was used to deal with Forsythia suspense leaves. Conclusion Steaming 2～10 min, cooking 2～ 10 min is more appropriate for drying of Forsythia suspense leaves, when factors of the contents of forsythoside, the cost and ease of operation were considerd.

Objective Chromatography fingerprint of Radix Codonopsis of different age from Shanxi province was studied to provide the reference for the science appraisal of intrinsic quality of Radix codonopsis. Method A RP-HPLC method was applied on GraceSmart-RP18 (250 mm?4.6 mm, 5 ?m) column with acetonitrile-0.1% acetic acid gradient elution as mobile phase, and the flow-rate was 0.6 mL/min. The detection wavelength was at 268 nm and the column temperature was at 30 ℃. Result Chromatography fingerprint of Radix Codonopsis can demonstrate obviously the difference and the similarity of Radix Codonopsis of different age. The RSD were lower than 3% in the precision, stability and the repetitiveness trial, and the codonopsis pilosula alkyne glucoside can be used as the reference to identify the active composition of Radix Codonopsis. Conclusion The method was simple, reproducible and reliable. The integrity of fingerprint can be used to supply the reference for the quality control of Radix Codonopsis from Shanxi provice.

OBJECTIVEWe used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to explore the effects of noxious coldness and non-noxious warmth on the magnitude of cerebral cortex activation during intraoral stimulation with water.

METHODSSix male and female subjects were subjected to whole-brain fMRI during the phasic delivery of non-noxious hot (23 °C) and no- xious cold (4 °C) water intraoral stimulation. A block-design blood oxygenation level-dependent fMRI scan covering the entire brain was also carried out.

RESULTSThe activated cortical areas were as follows: left pre-/post-central gyrus, insula/operculum, anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), orbital frontal cortex (OFC), midbrain red nucleus, and thalamus. The activated cortical areas under cold condition were as follows: left occipital lobe, premotor cortex/Brodmann area (BA) 6, right motor language area BA44, lingual gyrus, parietal lobule (BA7, 40), and primary somatosensory cortex S I. Comparisons of the regional cerebral blood flow response magnitude were made among stereotactically concordant brain regions that showed significant responses under the two conditions of this study. Compared with non-noxious warmth, more regions were activated in noxious coldness, and the magnitude of activation in areas produced after non-noxious warm stimulation significantly increased. However, ACC only significantly increased the magnitude of activation under noxious coldness stimulation.

CONCLUSIONResults suggested that a similar network of regions was activated common to the perception of pain and no-pain produced by either non-noxious warmth or noxious coldness stimulation. Non-noxious warmth also activated more brain regions and significantly increased the response magnitude of cerebral-cortex activation compared with noxious coldness. Noxious coldness stimulation further significantly increased the magnitude of activation in ACC areas compared with noxious warmth.

96% and with the same bio-activity as unlabeled Huwen toxin-1; Radioactivity detected in epidural space was 38% of injected radioacti vity at 10 min after epidural injection, which demonstrated successful administr ation into epidural space; The maximum serum concentration after epidural or iv administration of [ 125 I]labeled Huwentoxin-1 were determined to be (0 70?0 04) MBq?L -1 and (4 98?0 58) MBq?L -1 , respectively, a t the maximum serum concentration times of 30 min and 2 min. Terminal T 1/2 after epidural or iv administration were (10 36?0 27) h or (11 03?1 16) h, respectively. Cls was (1 29?0 07) L?h -1 ?kg -1 or (1 25? 0 23) L?h -1 ?kg -1 , respectively. Bioavailability after epidural a dministration was(95?5)%. CONCLUSION Concentration-time cur ves of [ 125 I] labeled Huwentoxin-1 after two routes were different. The degradation profiles after epidural and iv injection supported the using of HWTX-1 as analgesic by epidural administration.

Objective To evaluate the intraoperative advantage and postoperative outcomes of threedimensional laparoscopic common bile duct (CBD) choledochoscopic exploration by micro-incision made at the cystic duct-CBD junction (LCBDEM) for gall stones and choledocholithiasis.Methods From January 2014 to December 2015,31 patients were operated under 3D LCBDEM (study group) and 37 patients under 2D LCBDEM (control group).The outcomes of patients in two groups were compared,including total procedure time (TPT),modified procedure time(MPT),suturing time(ST) and the wrong grasping per 100grasps(WG)of the LCBDEM.8 surgeons experienced in 3D LCBDEM were asked to fill in a subjective questionnaire.Results In control group,the TPT,MPT,ST and WG were (148 ± 47) min,(108 ± 42)min,(20 ±3)min and (19 ±4)per 100 grasps,respectively.In study group,the TPT,MPT,ST and WG were (148 ± 46) min,(9 1 ± 25) min,(1 8 ± 3) min and (8 ± 2) per 100 grasps,respectively.There were significant differences in MPT (t =-2.026,P ＜ 0.05),ST (t =-2.239,P ＜ 0.05) and WG (Z=-7.062,P ＜ 0.001).In subjective questionnaire survey,3D laparoscopy has advantages over 2D laparoscopy in visual and operation experience.But 3D laparoscopy made eyes more easily tired and dizzy.31 aparoscopy was inferior to 2D laparoscopy in spinning the camera around to get optimal field of vision.Conclusions 3D LCBDEM shortens procedure time and suturing time,increases operating accuracy and safety by providing high definition stereovision.
