OBJECTIVE:To study the enterococcal distribution in clinical samples and their drug resistance to commonly use antibiotic and provide the guidance for rational administration.METHODS : Adopting paper diffusion method to observe the drug resistance of enterococci isolated from clinical samples in our hospital and analyzing their distribution in the samples.RESULTS :Enterococcus faecalis accounts for 44.1% in 227 strains and Enterococcus faecium accounts for 37.9%,the other kinds of enterococci were rare.There was no statistical difference between drug resistance of Enterococcus faecium and that of enterococcus faecalis. Vancomycin was the most potent antimicrobial.Penicillin,ampicillin,and nitrofurantion showed good antibacterial activity against enterococcus faecalis. Enterococcus faecium displayed high-level resistance against antibiotics in addition to glycopeptides.CONCLUSION:Doctor should pay attention to the drug resistance about clinically common pathogenic bacterium. Continual surveillance of resistance rate of enterococcus is important to direct the treatment of enterococcus infections.

Objective To investigate the methods and clinical outcome of the operative treatment of thoracolumbar fractures with pedicle screw single segment fixation and the approach through paravertebral muscles.Methods One hundred and twenty patients were selected as our subjects,who were suffered from thoracolumbar fracture without neurological deficit and underwent surgical treatment in the Central Hospital of Zibo from Jan.2009 to Dec.2010.All cases were randomly divided into mini-invasion group and control group.Patients in mini-invasion group were received the single segment fixation of the spatium intermusculare of longissimus muscle and multifidus,and in control group were received the traditional approach with short segment fixation group.The muscle gap approach along the longest muscle and multifidus muscle gap enters,preserving the integrity of the paraspinal muscles.Results The operation periods of mini-invasion group and control group were (53.8 ± 12.3) min and (88.5 ± 18.5) min (t =1.731,P ＜ 0.05),the intraoperative bleeding volume were (95.7 ±21.5) ml and (280.3 ±83.1) ml(t =2.414,P ＜0.05),the postoperative drainage volume were (20.4±8.2) ml and (132.9 ±50.3) ml(t =2.068,P ＜0.05) and inpatient time were (13.8 ±2.2)d and (20.4 ±5.5)d(t =1.853,P ＜0.05).However,there was no significant difference in terms of fracture healing time,visual analogue scale,Oswestry disability index and radiology(P ＞0.05).All cases had union of fractures and no reduction loss and fixation failure occurred.Condusion The treatment of pedicle screw single segment fixation and the approach through paravertebral muscles on thoracolumbar fracture is proved to be an effective method with minimally invasive,less bleeding volume,simple procedure and fast recovery method.

Objective To observe clinical effect of treating stomachache of spleen-stomach deficiency syndrome with modified Buzhongyiqi decoction. Methods 29 stomachache patients of spleen-stomach deficiency syndrome were randomly recurited into a control group and a treatment group. The control group was treated with western medicine, and the treatment group was treated with modified Buzhongyiqi decoction. The clinical effect was observed in both groups. Results The clinical effect in the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Condusion The treatment of stomachache patients with spleen-stomach deficiency syndrome with modified Buzhongyiqi decoction was more effective than western medicine.

The experiments show that extract from Hippocampus trimaculatus Leach (EHT) can inhibit experimental common carotid artery and cerebral thrombosis in rats, and its effective ingredients are unsaturated fatty acids.

Objective To study the apoptosis of PBLC in SLE patients and the roles of caspase in the pathogeneses of SLE.Methods PBLC apoptosis was evaluated by vitro cell culture in 25 patients with SLE(11 active stage,14 catabasis),and 18 controls.The expression of caspase of PBLC was also detected by Western blot.Results In SLE,compared with controls,the apoptosis of PBLC were reduced before cell culture while those were increased after culture 24 and 48hrs.Expressions of caspase-2,3 in active stage patients were lower than those of catabasis group and controls.Conclusions Abnormal PBLC apoptosis results in decreasing Caspase2,3 in SLE patients.

Objective To evaluate the effects of blood perfusion(HP)combined with hemodialysis(HD)on micro inflammation and malnutrition status in patients with maintenance of hemodialysis(MHD). Methods Eighty MHD patients admitted to blood purification center of Wuhan Puai Hospital in Hubei Province were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups. Pure HD group underwent conventional HD for 4 hours,3 times a week,and based on the weekly HD series,the HD+HP group took additionally HP once a week,the therapeutic course in both groups being consecutive 12 weeks. Blood was collected before and after treatment for detection of interleukin-6. (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and homocysteine (Hcy) levels were determined with electrochemiluminescence immunoassay,and the changes in nutritional indexes of hemoglobin(Hb),total protein(TP), albumin(Alb),transferrin(TRF)were observed. Results Compared with the indexes before treatment,in HD+HP group,hs-CRP(ng/L:5.65±2.21 vs. 13.91±2.10),IL-6(ng/L:50.10±6.65 vs. 101.22±21.32),TNF-α(ng/L:80.21±9.41 vs. 197.64±25.47),Hcy(μmol/L:13.31±2.21 vs. 40.96±9.42)were significantly decreased (all P<0.05),and Hb(g/L:106.65±22.21 vs. 92.01±12.10),TP(g/L:62.10±22.65 vs. 51.22±11.32),Alb (g/L:38.21±6.41 vs. 30.84±5.47),TRF(μg/L:196.31±22.21 vs. 161.96±15.42)were significantly increased (all P<0.05);but the above parameters in HD group did not change significantly(all P>0.05). There were statistical significant differences in above indexes after treatment between HD+HP group and HD group〔hs-CRP (ng/L):5.65±2.21 vs. 13.22±1.10,IL-6(ng/L):50.10±6.65 vs. 100.32±25.24,TNF-α(ng/L):80.21±9.41 vs. 196.87±24.54,Hcy(μmol/L):13.31±2.21 vs. 37.23±8.33,Hb(g/L):106.65±22.21 vs. 94.22±13.10,TP (g/L):62.10±22.65 vs. 51.32±12.32,Alb(g/L):38.21±6.41 vs. 32.87±4.54,TRF(μg/L):196.31±22.21 vs. 162.23±15.33,all P<0.05〕. Conclusion HP combined with HD in the treatment of MHD can improve the micro inflammation and malnutrition state in patients with MHD.

Objective To detect the expression of Survivin ,PTEN and to discuss the correlations between them and the clinico-pathological characteristic of rectal carcinoma ,evaluate their effects on the development of rectal carcinoma .Methods SP immuno-histochemical was used to detect the expression level of Survivin and PTEN in 72 rectal carcinoma samples ,and randomly selected 20 cases of normal paraneoplastic tissues as control group .Results The positive rate of Survivin and PTEN in normal paraneoplas-tic tissues were 0 and 85 .0% respectively ;The positive rate in rectal carcinoma samples were 61 .1% and 41 .7% respectively .Posi-tive expressions of Survivin and PTEN did not had no correlation with gender ,age ,but correlated with differentiation ,dukes staging and lymph node metastasis .PTEN expression was negatively correlated with Survivin expression in rectal carcinoma .Conclusion The low expression of Survivin and high expression of PTEN might promote tumor genesis and progression of rectal carcinoma , which could be used to judge the rectal cancer clinical staging and pathologic grading .

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections, especially those caused by Gram-negative pathogens, have emerged to be one of the world's greatest health threats. However, not only have recent decades shown a steady decline in the number of approved antimicrobial agents but a disappointing discovery also void. The development of novel antibiotics to treat MDR Gram-negative bacteria has been stagnated over the last half century. Though few compounds have shown activities in vitro, in animal models or even in clinical studies, the global antibiotic pipeline is not encouraging. There are a plethora of unexpected challenges that may arise and cannot always be solved to cause promising drugs to fail. This review intends to summarize recent research and development activities to meet the inevitable challenge in restricting the proliferation of MDR Gram-negative bacteria, with focus on compounds that have entered into clinical development stage. In addition to new analogues of existing antibiotic molecules, attention is also directed to alternative strategies to develop antibacterial agents with novel mechanisms of action.
