Objective To investigate the detection of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs)in a hospital, evaluate the efficacy of multi-disciplinary team(MDT)on management of MDROs,and provide guidance for effective control on MDRO infection.Methods From October 2013 to September 2014,compliance to comprehensive inter-vention measures in clinical departments in different stages as well as detection of MDROs from patients were com-pared respectively.Results Compliance to comprehensive intervention measures showed an overall upward trend from the fourth quarter of 2013 to the first,second,and third quarters of 2014,difference was statistically signifi-cant (all P <0.001 ).From the fourth quarter of 2013 to the third quarter of 2014,the percentage of the major MDRO strains in the same species of bacteria were:methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)52.34%, 45.45%,48.95%,and 26.25% respectively;carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB)64.42%, 63.07%,59.87%,and 43.09% respectively;multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDRPA)42.11 %, 41 .82%,29.33%,and 17.52% respectively;the detection rate of MRSA,CRAB,and MDRPA showed an overall downward trend,difference among different stages were statistically significant (all P <0.001 ).Detection rates of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE)and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE)were both low (<5%),difference among different stages were not statistically significant (all P >0.05).Conclusion MDT on man-agement of MDROs is helpful for reducing the emergence and spread of MDROs.

Objective To explore the association of dietary behavior of children with Tourette syndrome (TS) and tic symptoms.Methods 207 TS children and their 264 corresponding controls,who visited our hospital during the period of November 2008 to October 2010,were investigated with children' s dietary behavior questionnaire,under the guidance of professional staff,and the TS tic symptom severity was also evaluated according to The Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS).Kruskal-Wallis H rank-sum test was applied for univariate analysis and multinominal logistic regression for further multivariate analysis,with values of odds ratio (OR) and population attributable risk (PAR) obtained to demonstrate the relation strength between dietary behavior and tic symptom severity.Results Results of univariate analysis showed that western fast meal,barbecues,cream food,cold food,and spicy food were related to TS tic symptom severity (P＜0.05).Results of multivariate analysis demonstrated that western fast meal,fruits and vegetables,cream food and spicy food were risk factors for mild TS compared with control group,with OR and 95％ CI of 3.282 (1.922,5.064),2.239 (1.298,3.861),2.341 (1.355,4.046),2.118 (1.327,3.380) and their corresponding PAR of 0.306,0.464,0.169,0.250 respectively.As to moderate and severe TS,the risk factors included western fast meal,fruits and vegetables,and spicy food,with their respective OR and 95％ CI of 2.581 (1.322,5.038),2.364 (1.166,4.795),1.822 (1.014,2.272) and PAR of 0.234,0.487,0.197.Conclusion Dietary behavior,especially western fast meal,fruits and vegetables,cream food and spicy food,are considered to be associated with TS tic symptom severity.Therefore it' s obligatory to rectify undesirable dietary behaviors for TS children.

To investigate the effect of naringenin on ovariectomy-induced postmenopausal osteoporosis comprehensively and systemically, thirty-two virgin Sprague-Dawley rats about 3-month-old were used and randomly divided into 4 groups: sham control group (Sham), OVX control group (OVX), naringenin treatment group and 17β-estradiol (E2) treatment group. After 12 weeks treatment with different drugs, 24 h urine were collected, organs were weighed and the organ indies were computed. Uterine pathological changes were observed by making paraffin section. Biochemical parameters and bone turnover markers: serum osteocalcin (BGP) and urine deoxypyridinoline (DPD) were analyzed with automatic biochemical analyzer or ELISA assay. Bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) were analyzed by DEXA, bone biomechanical properties was measured by three point bending test and the trabecular bone microarchitecture was evaluated by Micro CT. From the results, we can see that: the gaining of weight and the increasing of bone turnover markers such as serum BGP and urinary DPD could be inhibited by naringenin. The treatment could also enhance the bone strength and prevent the deterioration of trabecular microarchitecture, increase the bone volume, trabecular number and thickness, and decrease the trabecular space. The effects mentioned above were not accompanied with stimulating effects on uterus. Long-term using of naringenin had no obvious influence on other organs and the liver and kidney functions. The study suggests that naringenin had obvious antiosteoporotic effect on ovariectomized rats and it had the potential value for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

BackgroundRetinal pigment epithelial(RPE) cells can secrete platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and PDGF receptor(PDGFR).Studies have shown that PDGF plays a key role in the formation of proliferative vitreous retinopathy(PVR). ObjectiveThis study was to investigate the proliferation and apoptosis changes of RPE after blockage of the PDGFR-α expression by antisense oligonucleotide ( ASODN ) in vitro. Methods Human RPE cells strain was cultured in low glucose DMEM with 10％ fetal bovine serum.Logarithmic phase cells were collected and incubated in 96-well plate at the density of 5 × 105 cells/hole.PDGFR-α ASODN was transfected into RPE cells at different concentrations for 48 hours.The cells of the blank control group were regularly cultured without any transfection.The changes of PDGFR-α expression were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR),and the proliferation of RPE was detected by MTT as the A490 value.Hoechst 33258 fluorescence staining was used to determine the apoptosis of RPE.Flow cytometry method (FCM) was applied to detect the change of cell cycle and apoptosis rate of RPE cells. ResultsThe A490 values of RPE cells were 1.45±0.12,1.07±0.06,0.65±0.05 in blank control group,1.0 μmol/L Lipo-ASODN group and 2.0 μmol/L Lipo-ASODN group with the significant difference(P=0.00 ),and that of 1.0 μmol/L Lipo-ASODN group and 2.0 μ mol/L Lipo-ASODN group were significantly lower than the blank control group ( P =0.00,0.00).Hoechst 33258 staining showed that the apoptosis cells were obviously more in Lipo-ASODN group compared with blank control group.PDGFR-α ASODN transfection induced an increase of percentage of RPE cells in G0/G1 phase( F =206.70,P =0.00),and the apoptosis rates in 1.0 μmol/L Lipo-ASODN group and 2.0 μmol/L Lipo-ASODN group were significantly enhanced in comparison with blank control group ( 37.8 ± 1.3 vs 10.5 ± 0.1,61.2 ± 1.9 vs 10.5 ± 0.1 ) ( F =1808.90,P =0.00 ).Expression intensity of PDGFR-α mRNA in RPE cells in Lipo-ASODN groups was lower. ConclusionsBlocking the PDGFR-α expression with ASODN technology can suppress proliferation and induce apoptosis of RPE cells.Intensity of PDGFR-α mRNA expression in RPE cells is ASODN dose-dependent.ASODN targeted to PDGFR-α offers an experimental basis of the gene therapy for PVR.
