Rational use of antibiotics can delay the emergence of antimicrobial resistance, and antimicrobial resistance surveillance provides the basis for standardizing clinical rational use of antibiotics. Therefore, antimicrobial resistance surveillance network is of great importance, and its construction can improve the rational use of antibiotics.The construction of antimicrobial resistance surveillance network should emphasize the capacity building of clinical microbiology laboratory and enhance quality control of resistance data based on the standards put forth by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute ( CLSI) .

The authors first make an analysis of the problems in clinical nursing quality control, including maintaining conservative points of view, sticking to backward quality control criteria, ignoring patients feelings, neg lecting clinical practice, and letting quality inspection become a mere formality. Then they argue that nursing quality managers should update their points of view and make constant innovations, revise quality evaluation criteria and emphasize the practical results of patient care, pay great attention to the psychological needs of the patients, and improve nursing expertise so as to render nursing quality control more rational, standardized and scientific.

Autophagy is an important homeostatic cellular recycling mechanism responsible for degrading injured or dysfunctional cellular organelles and proteins in all living cells. Aging is a universal phenomenon characterized by progressive deterioration of cells and organs due to accumulation of macromolecular and organelle damage. Growing evidences indicate that the rate of autophagosome formation and maturation and the efficiency of autophagosome/lysosome fusion decline with age. Dysfunctional autophagy has also been observed in age-related diseases. Autophagy disruption resulted accumulation of mutated or misfolded proteins is the essential feature of neurodegenerative disorders. However, in cancers, fibroproliferative diseases or cardiovascular diseases, autophagy can play either a protective or destructive role in different types of disease, and even in different stages of the same disease. The review will discuss the cellular and molecular mechanisms of autophagy and its important role in the pathogenesis of aging and age-related diseases, and the ongoing drug discovery strategies for therapeutic intervention.

Objective To study the clinical features of children with rotavirus enteritis complicated with respiratory infection.Methods The clinical features of 32 children with rotavirus enteritis were evaluated retrospectively complicated with respiratory infection (respiratory infection group) and 37 children with rotavirus enteritis complicated without parenteral infection (control group).Results 1. The respiratory symptoms became alleviative as the alimentary symptoms changed for better. 2. Duration of diarrhea weve(7.06?1.50)d in respiratory group was significantly longer than that in control group (4.73?1.31)d (t=6.90 P

Objective To investigate the developmental characters of neural stem cells(NSCs) in occipital of cortex from human fetal brain at different age.Methods Ninety cases of embryoes at gestational age 16-32 weeks and by induction of labor with water bag were collected for determining distribution,shapes,growth modes and the number of NSCs in the occipital of cortex with immunohisto- chemical method under light microscope.Results It was noted that NSCs existed in the occipital of cortex from human fetal brain at different ages.NSCs mainly distributed in layers of cone cells and inner granule cells.NSCs existed in the occipital of cortex of different fetal age included middling round cells,NSCs had enations from 0 to 1.Nucli were larger than plasm.Each NSC had nucleoli from 2-4 and rarefaction chromatin.Most of NSCs distributed in three growth modes including crowd,cluster and clone,occasionally with a single growth mode among other nerve cells.There were no differences including distribution,shapes,growth modes and the number of NSCs in the occipital of cortex between groups,but,NSCs gradually decreased with increasing of age.Conclusion NSCs exists in the occipital of cortex from different gestational age,and the number of NSCs decreases with increasing of age.

Objective To explore the diagnostic and prognostic significances of platelet parameters changes in Kawasaki disease(KD).Methods The platelet total(PLT),mean platelet volume(MPV),platelet distribution width(PDW)and plateletcrit(PCT)were measured in 23 cases of KD on acute febrile phase and early recovery phase.It was compared with 33 cases suffered from other febrile diseases during the same period and in similar ages.Each KD child should accept the cardiology ultrasonic examination.Results The level of PLT,PCT increased in KD patients.It was more significant in early recover period than in acute febrile period(P0.05).PLT negatively correlated with MPV,PDW(r=0.358,0.268 Pa0.05).Conclusions The changes of platelet parameter play a very important role in diagnosis of KD.But it still can not be certain that whether the changes can help us estimate the variety of the patients condition and prognosis of KD children.It requires further study.

BACKGROUND: Delirium is an acute organic brain syndrome caused by various reasons, and it is common in elderly patients. Antipsychotics treatment is an important method to control delirium.OBJECTIVE: To observe the efficacy of new antipsychotic agent of olanzapine and the traditional antipsychotic agent of haloperidol in treating senile delirium.DESIGN: A randomized controlled observation. SETTING: Mental Health Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing University of Medical Sciences.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 175 inpatients with senile delirium were selected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing University of Medical Sciences from September 2001 to September 2003, they were randomly divided into olanzapine treatment group (n=74), haloperidol treatment group (n=72) and a control group(n=29). There were 111 males (63.4%) and 64 females (36.6%). Delirium had occurred for a duration of 30 minutes to 17 days, with an average of (3.02±2.71) days. The enrolled patients were classified according to the etiological factors of delirium: metabolic (n=68), toxic (n=47), structural (n=25) and infectious (n=35).METHODS: Different treatments were used in different groups. Control group (n=29): The patients were only given somatic treatment aiming at delirium, and not any drug for central nervous system was used. Olanzapine group (n=74): Besides the somatic treatment aiming at delirium, the patients were given olanzapine (Zyprexa, produced by Eli Lilly and Company,5 mg/tablet) taken orally or sublingually (fasted patients), the initial dosage was 1.25-2.5 mg per day, and then adjusted to 1.25-20 mg per day. Haloperidol group (n=72): Besides the somatic treatment aiming at delirium, they were treated with intramuscular injection of haloperidol (2.5-10 mg per day). The effects were prospectively observed for 1 week.The scores were observed before enrollment and at 1-7 days respectively,the severity of mental disorder and amelioration were evaluated by the clinical global impression scale-severity of illness (CGI-SI) and global improvement item of clinical global impression scale (CGI-GI). The dosage and time of administration was taken as the dosage and time to take effect when the CGI-SI baseline scores decreased by more than 1 point.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The severity of mental disorder and amelioration were observed.RESULTS: ① The scores of CGI-SI after treatment were significantly decreased in the olanzapine group, haloperidol group and control group, and there were significant differences (P ＜ 0.01). ② The rates of marked effect in the three groups were 82.4%, 87.5% and 31.0%, respectively, and those in the two treatment groups were significantly different from that in the control group (P ＜ 0.01). ③ Both olanzapine and haloperidol began to take effect at small dosages, and it was the fasted in the olanzapine group, followed by the haloperidol group, and slowest in the control group.CONCLUSION: Olanzapine and haloperidol have similar effects in treating senile delirium. However, olanzapine is faster to take effect than haloperidol.

Objective To study the effect of topical tacrolimus (FK506) on the survival of the xenogeneic transplanted hair follicles from human scalp to Wistar rats. Methods In our study, Wistar rats were used as recipients and human as donor. The black hair follicles of human scalp were harvested, and then the xenogeneic grafts were transplanted to white Wistar rats on the back. 20 couples of rats were divided in 2 groups: topical tacrolimus group (group A), and blank control group (group B). After operaton, we compared the survival time of hair follicles and their histologic outcomes in order to verify the practicability of xenogeneic transplantion of hair follicles, and the topical application of tacrolimus results.Results The mean survival time of group A was longer [(49. 9 ±7. 1) days] as compared to group B [(13. 1±1. 2) days]. The longest survival time was 65 days in group A and 14 days in group B, respectively. By comparison of the results we found that topical tacrolimus prolonged the survival time of the xenotransplanted hair follicles significantly and that tropical medication could not avoid rejection. Conclusions The immune privilege function dependent on the hair follicle anagen and axillary topical tacrolimus, can prolong the survival time of the xenogeneic transplanted hair follicles in rats significantly.
