Objective Based on active monitoring MRSA carriage for hospitalized patients, the relationship between colonization pressure and MRSA cross transmission in wards without rigorous contactisolation measures was analyzed, and the role of colonization pressure in predicting MRSA cross transmission was further evaluated. Methods From March to December 2009, active MRSA colonization screening was performed for 240 hospitalized patients in emergency ward and 94 cases in RICU in our hospital. rep-PCR method was employed to do homology analysis on MRSA strains obtained in this study. MRSA weekly colonization pressure, threshold colonization pressure ,cross transmission rate were calculated respectively. RR of MRSA cross transmission under higher level of colonization pressure and lower level of colonization pressure was analyzed. Results MRSA carriage rates on admission for patients in emergency wards and RICU were 6. 25% (15/2A0) and 13. 83 % (13/94) ,and MRSA cross transmission occurred in 13 weeks and 14 weeks in above two units, respectively. Threshold colonization pressures for above two units were 6. 49%and 17. 66%, respectively. For emergency ward, the MRSA cross transmission rate under higher level of colonization pressure was significantly higher than that under lower level of colonization pressure (x2 = 7. 10,P<0. 01), the RR of MRSA transmission was 9. 61 (95% CI:1. 25-74.00). For RICU, the MRSA cross transmission rate under higher level of colonization pressure was significantly higher than that under lower level of colonization pressure(x2 = 12. 60, P<0. 01 ), the RR of MRSA transmission was 15.87 (95% CI:2. 06-122. 10). Conclusions Higher level of colonization pressure is an important risk factor for MRSA transmission, and average colonization pressure can be used as a prediction index for MRSA transmission and strengthening prevention and control measures.

Objective To improve the knowledge of the diagnosis and treatment of functional insulinoma. Methods The clinical data of 12 cases of functional insulinoma in China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University from 2000 to 2009 were analyzed retrospectively. Results For the 12 cases of functional insulinoma, preoperative fasting blood glucose and the positive rate of insulin were 92% and 89% respectively. The positive rate of IRI/G and C-Peptide reached 100%. The accuracy of the niveau diagnosis of preoperative abdomen ultrasound, CT and of MRI were 75%, 36% and 0% respectively; whereas the accuracy of localization of intraoperative palpation combined with ultrasonography reached 100%. The result of glucose increased by one time within one hour after excision and the rest excision. In the 7 follow-up cases, the symptom of hypoglycemia was not found. There were 3 cases of pancreatic fistula after operation. Conclusions For the suspected cases of functional insulinoma, the measurement of IRI/G and C-Peptide are needed besides measuring blood glucose and insulin. Intraoperative palpation and ultrasonography are effective methods of the localization of functional insulinoma. The complete resection of the insulinoma can be assessed by monitoring the change of the blood glucose after excision as well as the rapid intraoperative pathological examination.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a commonly occurring human pathogen worldwide. There is an urgent need to discover and develop new alternative agents for the management of HSV-1 infection. Tripterygium hypoglaucum (level) Hutch (Celastraceae) is a traditional Chinese medicine plant with many pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammation, anti-tumor and antifertility. The usual medicinal part is the roots which contain about a 1% yield of alkaloids. A crude total alkaloids extract was prepared from the roots of T. hypoglaucum amd its antiviral activity against HSV-1 in Vero cells was evaluated by cytopathic effect (CPE) assay, plaque reduction assay and by RT-PCR analysis. The alkaloids extract presented low cytotoxicity (CC_(50) = 46.6 μg/mL) and potent CPE inhibition activity, the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC_(50)) was 6.5 μg/mL, noticeably lower than that of Acyclovir (15.4 μg /mL). Plaque formation was significantly reduced by the alkaloids extract at concentrations of 6.25 μg/mL to 12.5 μg/mL, the plaque reduction ratio reached 55% to 75% which was 35% higher than that of Acyclovir at the same concentration. RT-PCR analysis showed that, the transcription of two important delayed early genes UL30 and UL39, and a late gene US6 of HSV-1 genome all were suppressed by the alkaloids extract, the expression inhibiting efficacy compared to the control was 74.6% (UL30), 70.9% (UL39) and 62.6% (US6) respectively at the working concentration of 12.5μg/mL. The above results suggest a potent anti-HSV-1 activity of the alkaloids extract in vitro.

Objective To study the effect and mechanisms of chloride channel blocker 5-Nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino) benzoic acid (NPPB) on thansforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) induced human conjunctival fibroblasts (HConF) fibrosis.Methods Cell counting kit (CCK-8) was used to screen out the optimal TGF-β1 treatment time and the optimal NPPB concentration.The cells were divided into control group,TGF-β1 treatment group and TGF-β1+NPPB group.Cell proliferation and cell cycle were detected by CCK-8 and flow cytometer,respectively.Cell migration ability were observed by scratch and transwell migration assays.Western blot and Real time-PCR were used to detect the expression of collagen Ⅰ (COL-Ⅰ),fibronectin (FN) and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA).The phosphorylation level of PI3K and Akt were measured by Western blot.Results TGF-β1 promotes cell proliferation in a time-dependent manner.There was no statistically significant difference in A values between 48 hours and 72 hours after TGF-β1 treatment (P =0.064).Forty-eight hours was selected as the most appropriate time for TGF-β1 treatment.NPPB inhibited HConF cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner.Compared with the control group,the proliferation A values of cells in the 50 mol/L and 100 mol/L NPPB groups were significantly reduced (P =0.020,0.000),and 100 mol/L was selected as the optimal concentration of NPPB.The cell proliferation A value,migration area and migration cell number of TGF-β1 +NPPB group were significantly lower than those of TGF-β1 treatment group (all at P<0.05).Compared with the control group and TGF-β1 +NPPB group,the proportion of G1 phase cells in the TGF-β1 treatment group was reduced,and the proportion of cells in the S phase and G2/M phase were increased,with statistically significant differences between them (all at P < 0.05).The protein and mRNA expression of α-SMA,COL-Ⅰ and FN in the TGF-β1 treatment group were higher than those in the control group and TGF-β1+NPPB group,with statistically significant differences between them(all at P<0.05);the ratios of p-PI3K/PI3K and p-Akt/Akt in the TGF-β1 treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group and TGF-β1 +NPPB group,with statistically significant differences between them (all at P<0.05).Conclusions NPPB may inhibit TGF-β1 induced HConF fibrosis process by inhibiting phosphorylation of PI3K and Akt.
