Objective To investigate the distribution and effect of class Ⅰ integron in 40 strains of clinical multi-resistant Enterobacter cloacae. Methods Kirby-Bauer method was used to analyze the drug resistance of 40 strains of multi-resistant Enterobacter cloacae and the drug resistance gene was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results 28 strains (70.0%) of 40 clinical isolates were observed to contain class Ⅰ integron. Drug resistance test showed their resistance rate to 10 kind of an-tibaeterials as follow: 7.5% to imipenem, 5.0% to meropenem, 75.0% to piperacillin-tazobactam,55.0% to amikacin, 12.5% to cefepime, 52.5% to ceftazidime, 55.0% to cefotaxime, 90.0% to ceftriaxone;81.8% to ticarcillin-clavutanic acid, and 85.0% to ciprofloxacin. Conclusion This study shows that the resistance situation of Enterobacter cloacae isolates is very serious, and class Ⅰ integron may play an important role in the muhidrug resistant mechanism.

Objectives:The present study in vestigated the presence and significance of serum antibody against human myocardial mitochondria in patients with virus myocarditis (VMC) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). 　　Methods:The human myocardial mitochondtia were used as antigen to detect serum autoantibody by immuno-dot blot in 29 VMC patients,24 DCM patients,33 patients with other cardiac (OCD) and 20 healthy blood donor (HBD).The antigen molecular weight was detected by Western blot. 　　Results:①Positive autoantibody against human myocardial mitochordria was found in 41.4% in VMC and 41.7% in DCM patients,which were much higher than 6.1% in OCD or 0% in HBD patients.②Cardiac troponin T was elevated in 43.8% of autoantibody-positive VMC and DCM patients,which was much higher than 12.0% in autoantibody-negative VMC and DCM patients (p＜0.05).③The antigen molecular weight of human myocardial mitochondria was 30KD. 　　Conclusions:①The presence of autoantibody against supports that concept that is responsible for the development of VMC and DCM.Autoantibody is one of the factors that give rise to cardiac injury.The antibody detection may serve as a diagnostic index for VMC and DCM.②The specific antigen is probably human myocardial adenine nucleotide translocator.

Objective To explore the effect of hypoxia-ischemia(HI)on expression of second mitochondria-derived activator of caspase proteinc(Smac)in brain tissue of neonatal rats.Methods All neonatal rats were divided randomly into HI group,pseudo-operation group,and normal control group.The animal models of HIE were made.At 24,48,72,96 h after HI,Western blot was used to detect the expression of Smac protein in hippocampus.The relative activity of Caspase-3 in hippocampus tissue was determined by colorimetric assay.Results In HI group,at 24,48,72,96 h after HI,the expression levels of Smac protein in hippocampus significantly increased compared with that of pseudo-operation group and normal control group(Pa

This study was aimed to find the optimal conditions for seed propagation of Fritillaria cirrhosa in the plateau region in order to summarize the best sowing time and method of artificial propagation. Seeds were stored in appropriate environment. After the seeds matured, the seedbed of F. cirrhosa was treated with cattle dung humus and small shed. The results showed that early March is the best sowing time and cattle dung humus with a thickness about 1 cm is the best coving for propagation of F. cirrhosa; the growing period of film propagation (FP) is about 160 days each year compared with that of control about 50-60 days, respectively. It was concluded that the propagating seeds in plastic greenhouses by using cattle dung humus as planting substrates, using sunshade nets for shading and keeping humidity by spraying can effectively prolong the growing period, improve the retention rate of annual bulbs and the production of F. cirrhosa.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the applications of percutaneous screw fixation for the treatment of pelvic fractures and its related surgical considerations.

METHODSFrom June 2010 to June 2012,19 patients with pelvic fractures were treated with percutaneous hollow screws. There were 13 males and 6 females, with an average age of 41 years (ranged from 22 to 58 years). Fractures were caused by traffic accidents in 11 cases, by falling down from high place in 8 cases. Based on the Tile classification, there were 15 cases of Tile C type and 4 case of Tile B type. The indexes such as screw inserting time, intraoperative blood loss, complications, functional recovery and reduction conditions were observed. Fixation methods included sacroiliac screws, cannulated screw fixation of the pubic ramus and cannulated screw fixation of the pubic symphysis separation.

RESULTSAnatomical reduction achieved in 7 cases, satisfactory reduction 11 cases, and unsatisfactory reduction 1 case. Union time of fracture union ranged from 8 to 12 weeks (mean 10 weeks). Wound infection,ununion of fracture and nerve injuries were not found. According to the Majeed standards, 12 patients obtained an excellent results, 6 good and 1 fair.

CONCLUSIONPercutaneous screw fixation for the treatment of pelvic fractures under fluoroscopy has several advantages such as less trauma, less blood loss, fewer rates of complications, reliable fixation and no blood transfusion, which can reconstruct the stability of the pelvic ring, but it needs adequate preoperative preparation and high requirements for the surgeon.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation (TAES) combined dexmedetomidine on hemodynamic of intracranial aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients undergoing intervention, and their protection for brain Injury.

METHODSTotally 108 intracranial aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients undergoing intervention were randomly assigned to the electroacupuncture (EA) group and the control group according to random digit table, 54 in each group. All patients were anesthetized with dexmedetomidine. Patients in the EA group were needled at bilateral Neiguan (PC6), Lieque (LU7), and Yunmen (LU2). Parameter setting was as follows: The dilatational wave at 1. 5 Hz, strength 2 - 4 mA, 30 min. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and heart rate (HR) were compared between the two groups immediately after entry into the room (T0), after administration (T1), intubating (T2), resuscitation (T3), extubation (T4), and leaving the operating room (T5). Levels of S100β protein (S100β) and neuron specific enolase (NSE) were compared between the two groups at T0, immediately after surgery (T6), 6 h after operation (T7), 12 h after operation (T8), and 24 h after operation (T9).

RESULTSCompared with the same group at T0, SBP, DBP, MAP, and HR were significantly reduced in the two groups at T1-T5(P <0. 05), serum levels of S100β and NSE in the two groups were significantly increased at T6-T9 (P<0. 05). Compared with the control group at T1 - T5, SBP, DBP, MAP, and HR decreased in the EA group (P <0. 05). Compared with the control group at T6-T9, serum levels of S100β and NSE decreased in the EA group (P <0. 05).

CONCLUSIONTAES combined dexmedetomidine could effectively maintain stable hemodynamics of intracranial aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients undergoing intervention, and regulate their serum levels of S100β and NSE.

This study is designed to obtain recombinant human acetylcholinesterase (rhAChE) and apply it in screening acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. The rhAChE was overexpressed in HEK293 cells transfected by plasmid of pCMV-AChE with the cationic liposome and rhAChE was found to be secreted into cell culture medium. AChE activity was assayed according to modified Ellman method to obtain kinetic parameters. IC so50 values for donepezil compounds of rhAChE were calculated to determine their activities of inhibition. The results showed that Km value was 151.9 micromol.L-1 donepezil inhibited rhAChE in a mixed competitive-noncompetitive way (Ki= 16.03 nmol.L-1, Ki = 18.36 nmol.L-1) and that most new compounds tested exhibited high activities of inhibition on rhAChE. The study suggests that rhAChE is available to be applied in screening AChE inhibitors in vitro.
