Objective To analyze the clinical distribution and antimicrobial resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii (A.baumannii)from a hospital,so as to guide the rational use of antimicrobial agents and provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of healthcare-associated infection(HAI).Methods Distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility testing results of A.baumannii isolated from patients between January 2011 and December 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.Results A total of 339 A.baumannii isolates were isolated within three years,291 iso-lates (85.84%)were from sputum,followed by urine (n=29,8.55%),secretion(n=12,3.54%)and blood (n=3,0.89%).The main distribution departments were intensive care unit(ICU,n=149,43.95%),department of re-spiratory medicine (n=46,13.57%),department of pediatrics (n =32,9.44%)and oncology (n =22,6.49%). The resistant rate of A.baumannii to tobramycin and imipenem were 11 .11 %-49.47%,the resistant rates to the other antimicrobial agents were relatively high;antimicrobial resistant rate of 2012 and 2013 were obviously lower than 2011 .Conclusion A.baumannii from this hospital are mainly from sputum specimens,and mainly distribute in ICU and department of respiratory medicine,antimicrobial resistant rate is high,but there is a decreasing tenden-cy in recent years.

Objective:To develop and characterize the hydrogel microspheres for embolization.Methods:N-[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl] acrylamide-gelatin microspheres(TGMs)were prepared by an inverse suspension polymerization approach.Effects of materials on size,water absorption rate and elasticity of the microspheres were investigated.The materials which were included consisted of gelatin in the range of 10.0-100.0 g/L,N-[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl]acrylamide in the range of 33.3-200 g/L,cross-linking agent N,N'-methylene-bis-acrylamide in the range of 3.3-10.0 g/L,surfactant Span 80 in the range of 0.5-1.8 g/L,and initiator ammonium persulfate in the range of 1.0-5.0 g/L.The appearance of TGMs was observed under microscope.TGMs were analyzed by infrared spectrum(IR).Results:The TGMs were round with smooth surface in view of photograph of microscope.The average diameter of TGMs was increased with the increase of gelatin,monomer or cross-linking agent concentrations but decreased with the increase of surfactant or initiator Concentration.The water adsorption rate of the microspheres was decreased with the increase of gelatin or cross-linking agent concentration but not affected by surfactant concentration.The elasticity of TGMs was increased with the increase of monomer or cross-linking agent concentration,decreased with the increase of gelatin concentration,but not affected by surfactant or initiator concentration.All factors above considered,the final prepared TGMs consisted of 10 g/L gelatin,100.0 g/L monomer,6.7 g/L cross-linking agent,0.9 g/L surfactant,and 3.0 g/L initiator.The average diameter of TGMs obtained was about 700.0 ?m.The water adsorption rate and the elasticity in accordance with the maximum diameter of the microspheres passed through a microcatheter of TGMs were 12.4(g/g),and 1 600.0 ?m,respectively.The results of IR spectra confirmed the polymerization of monomer,resulting in N-[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl]acrylamide-gelatin microspheres.Conclusion:The developed TGMs seemed to be suitable for clinical embolization according to the surface,average diameter,elastic and hydrophilic property of TGMs.

Objective To observe the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on the apoptosis expression of intestinal mucosa during the different periods of ischemia-reperfusion injury in order to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Method Rats were subjected to ischemia for 60 min by clamping superior mesenteric artery, and then had reperfusion for 60 min by unclamping. Rats were randomly divided into four groups: ischemia-reperfusion group (I/R), pre-emptive HBO or HBO treatment before ischemia (HBO-P) group, HBO treatment during ischemia period (HBO-I) group, and HBO treatment during reperfusion (HBO-R) group. After reperfusion for 60 min, samples of small intestine tissue were taken from the end portion of ileum for detecting the levels of ATP by using colorimetric method and the levels of caspase-3 by using immunochemistry. The levels of TNF-α in intestinal tissue were measured by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method ( ELISA). All values were expressed in Mean ± Standard Deviation (x ± s). The different groups were compared among them with SNK- q test of OneWay analysis of variance (One-Way ANOVA plus SNK). Results The levels of TNF-α in HBO-I group were significantly lower than that in HBO-P group ( P ＜ 0.05), and significantly lower in HBO-P group than those in HBO-R or I/R groups ( P ＜ 0.05), and there was no significant difference in TNF-α between HBO-R and I/R group ( P ＞ 0.05). The levels of caspase-3 were significantly lower in HBO-I group than those in HBO-P group ( P ＜ 0. 05), and also significantly lower in HBO-P group than those in I/R or HBO-R groups ( P ＜ O. 05), and no significant difference caspase-3 was found between HBO-R and I/R groups. The ATP levels were significantly lower in HBO-I group than those in HBO- P group ( P ＜ 0. 05), and also significantly lower in HBO- P group than those in I/R or HBO-R group ( P ＜ 0.05), and no significant difference in ATP level between in HBO-R and I/R group. Conclusions There was a connection between HBO and small intestinal I/R injury as well as mucosal cell apoptosis. And HBO maintained ATP and aerobic metabolism, and inhibited the genesis of TNF-α, and thus in turn prevented intestinal mucosa cell from apoptosis. The best result was obtained when HBO was administered during ischemia period, and there was no effect found when HBO was employed during reperfusion period.

Objective To study the effect of Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)on expression of IRF-3 and IFN-? during the inflammatory reaction induced by cerebral ischemia reperfusion in mice. Methods After blockade of TLR4 by TLR4 antibody,expression of TLR4,IRF-3 and IFN-? at the protein level in hippocampus was examined by Western blot,respectively. Mice were randomly divided into sham group,ischemia reperfusion group and TLR4 blocking group in different time points (1,2,3 and 4 day). Results In the right cortex,the expression of TLR4,IRF-3 and IFN-? of I group was distinctly higher than that of S and T group(P

NG-nitro-D-arginine (D-NNA) produced pressor responses in rats by acting via chiral inversion intoNG-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA), an inhibitor of nitro oxide synthase. The present investigation aimed to study the roleof the D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) in chiral inversion of D-NNA and the relationship between DAAO activitieson various D-amino acids and their inversion rate. Benzoate (400 mg/kg) or creatinine (400 mg/kg), two inhibitorsof DAAO, blocked D-NNA-induced pressor responses in rats. Furthermore, the addition of the pure DAAOsignificantly potentiates L-NNA production rate in kidney homogenates by approximately 2-folds. The in vivo andin vitro results suggested that DAAO plays an essential role in the pressor responses elicited by D-NNA.Moreover, crude DAAO solution from the kidney showed marked selection (the maximal ratio of Kcat/Km wasnearly 15 times) on different D-amino acids that exhibited similar chiral inversion rate in vivo, suggesting that otherenzymes, such as transaminase, are also required for the entire process of D-NNA chiral inversion.

Objective To investigate the effects of nursing intervention on the rehabilitation of patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).Methods 64 BPPV patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 32 cases in each group.The control group received otorhinolaryngology routine nursing, while the observation group was managed with continuously systemic nursing interventions, including manipulative re-duction, psychological nursing intervention, health education, head nursing, follow -up and family nursing interven-tion.The Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) were applied to evaluate the intervention effects.Results Cure rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and recurrence rate of the observation group was obviously lower than that of the control group(p <0.05).The anxiety and depression assessment of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group, with statistical difference (p <0.05).Conclusion Systemic nursing intervention can effectively improve the rehabilita-tion of patients with BPPV, and reduce recurrence rate.

BACKGROUND: Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), a kind of adult stem cells, possess plasticity and can be induced into myocardial cells under certain conditions. Autologous ADSCs transplanted into the infarct area can differentiate into myocardial cells and vascular endothelial cells to construct new vessels and thereby improve cardiac pump function. OBJECTIVE: To study the factors that influence ADSCs differentiation and transplantation and the current clinical and laboratory research progress of ADSCs transplantation for treatment of cardiomyopathy.METHODS: A computer-based retrieval was performed in Medline (between January 1990 and April 2010), PubMed database, the China Biological Medicine Database (CBM) (between January 1990 and April 2010), and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) with the keywords adipose-derived stem cells, myocardial cells, cell differentiation, cell transplantation, cardiomyopathy treatment.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 30 articles, consisting of 6 reviews and 24 randomized controlled trials, were obtained. At present, there have been uniform methods of ADSCs isolation and culture, and ADSCs can be effectively proliferated in vitro, but there have been no direct methods to identify these stem cells. ADSCs differentiation can be induced both in vitro and in vivo, besides, with a characteristic of early differentiation. ADSCs transplantation is a more conductive therapy for myocardial disease compared with bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation. Different ADSCs transplantation methods should be carried out in different types of cardiomyopathy. Stem cell labeling technique can help to dynamically monitor implanted in vivo. Transplantion of autologous ADSCs is a new way to treating cardiomyopathy. However, for successes in clinical practice, the method to inhibit tumor cells-promoting characteristics is needed to ensure long-term safety of the patients receiving ADSCs transplantation.

Histone acetylation is a crucial part of histone modifications in epigenetics.Histone acetylation is involved in the onset of diabetes and diabetic complications,through the mechanism of inducing hyperglycemia by means of metabolic memory effect,interfering islet development and regulating the expression of inflammatory factors and pathogenic genes.Genome-wide association studies are gradually unveilling the pathogenesis of diabetes and preclinical studies are rapidly elucidating that histone deacetylase should be considered as a new target for the treatment of diabetes.

Objective To study the influence of general anesthesia and epidural anesthesia on postoperative short-term cognitive function in the elderly patients undergoing orthopedics surgery.Methods 120 patients with hip joint displacement or internal fixation after femur fracture and American Society of Anesthesiology Ⅰ and Ⅱ were randomly divided into general anesthesia and epidural anesthesia groups(n=60 for each group).Artery blood pressure(ABP)and heart rate were recorded before operation,pre-operation after anesthesia,during 30 min operation,during main operation and at operation end.Cognitive function was detected by mini-mental state(MMS)before induction of anesthesia and 6 h,12 h,24 h and 72 h after anesthesia.Results There were no differences in ABP and heart rate during operation between the two groups(P＞0.05).The scores of MMS in general anesthesia group at 6 h(26.5±0.5),12 h(25.4±0.7)and 24 h(27.4±0.3)were decreased as compared with pre-induction of anesthesia(29.5 ± 0.3)(P＜ 0.05),while no difference was found at 72 h(29.3±0.3).The scores of MMS in epidural anesthesia group at 6 h(26.6±0.4)and 12 h(25.6±0.8)were lower(P＜0.05),while had no difference at 24 h(29.1±0.4)and 72 h (29.5±0.4)(P＞0.05)as compared with pre-induction of anesthesia(29.4±0.4).At 24 h after anesthesia,the MMS scores were higher in epidural anesthesia group(29.1±0.4)than in general anesthesia group(27.4±0.3)(P＜0.01).Conclusions General anesthesia may contribute to more obvious influences on cognitive function than epidural anaesthesias within 12h after operation in the elderly patients undergoing orthopedics surgery.
