Objective To investigate the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to antibacterial agents which were induced by disinfectants.Methods The susceptibility test of 68 strains from clinic was determined by VITEK-2 system.The MIC of povidone iodine,glutaraldehyde and chlorhexidine was determined by agar dilution method.68 strains were induced by different concentrations of three kinds of disinfectants for eight times.The concentration of three kinds of disinfectants was lower than their MIC.The MIC before and after inducement was determined by micro dilution.In the mean-while,strains of their MIC raised to antibiotics were inoculated on plate agar containing the PAβN which was the efflux pump inhibitor,in order to determine the phenotype of efflux pump.Results Six strains,MIC in 68 strains significantly changed after induction of disinfectants.The MIC of these six strains was higher than pre-induced to some antibacterial agents such as FQNs,cephems and carbapenem.The induction of povidone iodine and gilutaraldehyde were more obvious,and five strains,phenotype of efflux pump were positive after being induced by these two disinfectants.Conclusions The antimicrobial susceptibility of some Pseu-domonas aeruginosa will change after being induced by some disinfectants and the efflux pump will play an important role in this process.So the reasonable application of disinfectants were indispensable,in order to decrease the resistance and the opportunity of nosocomial infection.

Nicotinic acid could increase high density lipoprotein and reduce serum total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides in human bodies, thus is frequently applied in treating low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and hypertriglyceridemia in clinic. However, according to the findings, nicotinic acid could also cause adverse effects, such as skin flush, beside its curative effects. In this study, bioisosterism, fragment-based search and Lipinski's Rule of Five were used to preliminarily screen out potential TCM ingredients that may have similar pharmacological effects with nicotinic acid from Traditional Chinese medicine database (TCMD). Afterwards, homology modeling and flexible docking were used to further screen out potential nicotinic acid receptor agonists. As a result, eleven candidate compounds were derived from eight commonly used traditional Chinese medicines. Specifically, all of the candidate compounds' interaction with nicotinic acid receptor was similar to nicotinic acid, and their docking scores were all higher than that of nicotinic acid, but their druggability remained to be further studied. Some of the eight source traditional Chinese medicines were used to lower lipid according to literature studies, implying that they may show effect through above means. In summary, this study provides basis and reference for extracting new nicotinic acid receptor agonists from traditional Chinese medicines and improving the medication status of hyperlipidemia.

Objective To primarily investigate the clinical value of analgesia/nociception index (ANI) in evaluating the analgesic effect during lobectomy performed via video-assisted thoracoscope.Methods Forty ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 25-64 yr,weighing 45-80 kg,undergoing elective lobectomy performed via video-assisted thoracoscope,were enrolled in this study.After induction of anesthesia with propofol,sufentanil and cisatracurium,patients received double lumen endotracheal intubation.Anesthesia was maintained with targetcontrolled infusion of propofol,and iv infusion of remifentanil and cisatracurium.The concentration of propofol was adjusted to maintain the bispectral index (BIS) value in the range of 40-60.ANI,HR,systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and BIS value were recorded within 5 min before and after the predefined time points including posture change between lateral and supine position,ventilatory pattern change between onelung and double-lung ventilation,skin incision and trocars insertion,lymph node dissection and pleural lavage.At skin incision and during trocars insertion,lymph node dissection and pleural lavage,the development of hemodynamic responses (increase in HR and SBP ＞ 20％ of baseline value) were recorded.Results The incidence of hemodynamic responses was 100％ at skin incision and trocars insertion,and 84 ％ during No.4,7,10 groups of lymph node dissection and after pleural lavage and difference was found in ANI during these stimuli.ANI was significantly decreased within 5 min after skin incision,trocars insertion,No.4,7,10 groups of lymph node dissection and pleural lavage than that before the procedures (P ＜ 0.05).The BIS value was maintained at 40-60,and no significant changes were found between before and after the procedures (P ＞ 0.05).No significant changes were found in ANI,HR,SBP,and DBP between before and after the changes of posture and respiratory pattern (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion ANI can be used to evaluate the analgesic effect during lobectomy performed via video-assisted thoracoscope in patients and is unaffected by the changes of posture and ventilatory pattern.

The study is to investigate the pharmacokinetics of S-1 capsule (tegafur, gimeracil and potassium oxonate capsule) in patients with advanced gastric cancer after single and multiple oral administration. Twelve patients with advanced gastric cancer were recruited to the study. The dose of S-1 for each patient was determined according to his/her body surface area (BSA). The dose for single administration was 60 mg every subject. The dose for multiple administration for one subject was as follows: 100 mg x d(-1) or 120 mg x d(-1), 28-days consecutive oral administration. The pharmacokinetic parameters of tegafur, 5-fluorouracil, gimeracil, potassium oxonate and uracil after single oral administration were as follows: (2,207 +/- 545), (220.0 +/- 68.2), (374.9 +/- 103.0), (110.5 +/- 100.8) and (831.1 +/- 199.9) ng x mL(-1) for Cmax; (11.8 +/- 3.8), (4.4 +/- 3.3), (7.8 +/- 5.1), (3.1 +/- 0.9) and (8.8 +/- 4.1) h for t1/2, respectively. After six days oral administration, the average steady state plasma concentrations (Cav) of tegafur, 5-fluorouracil, gimeracil, potassium oxonate and uracil were (2,425 +/- 1,172), (73.88 +/- 18.88), (162.6 +/- 70.8), (36.89 +/- 29.35) and (435.3 +/- 141.0) ng x mL(-1), respectively, and the degree of fluctuation (DF) were (1.0 +/- 0.2), (2.5 +/- 0.4), (3.1 +/- 0.8), (2.4 +/- 0.8) and (1.5 +/- 0.3), respectively. The cumulative urine excretion percentage of tegafur, 5-fluorouracil, gimeracil and potassium oxonate in urine within 48 h were (4.2 +/- 2.8) %, (4.7 +/- 1.6) %, (18.5 +/- 6.0) % and (1.7 +/- 1.2) %, repectively, after single oral administration of S-1. The results exhibited that tegafur had some drug accumulation observed, and gimeracil, potassium oxonate, 5-fluorouracil and uracil had no drug accumulation observed.

AimTo evaluate the efficiency of gene amplification technique used in detecting the specimens colleted from rodents to identify natural epidemic foci of scrub typlus. MethodMice of Kunining strain were experimentally infected by a certain amount of Oriential tsutsugamushi. The specimens of blood clot and spleen from the infected animals were detected by nested polymerase chain reaction(nPCR)specific to O. T sutsugamush at the day 3,6 and 9 of post-infection. Then the technique was used for detection of samples collected from field. As an infected index ,the specimen was considered to be positive only if a 88-bp DNA fragment from Sta 58kDa gene of O. Tsutsugamushi could be produced. According to the study ,it was estimated whether or not that the sampling area is a natural epidemic focus of the disease. ResultsThe specimens of both blood clot and spleen from the mica at day 3 of post-infecction showed negative to the specific PCR product ,but positive when detected at day 6 and hereafter. Of 111 spleen samples from the field collections in the northwest of Fujian province,one was positive, and another positive sample was in the 29 blood clots from Jiangxi province. It is demonstrated that these areas have been the natural epidemic foci. Conclusion The nPCR method is of highly sensitive and specific to be used in the etiologic study on specimens from field rats.
