Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ( CA-MRSA ) has been increasingly frequently isolated from patients worldwide, and is an emerging threat to public health.CA-MRSA strains differ from hospital-acquired MRSA strains in their epidemiologies, clinical features and genetic backgrounds, and the predominant CA-MRSA strains vary between geographic settings.This paper reviews literatures on the definition, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, treatment and virulent factors of CA-MRSA or CA-MRSA infection, and points out that we should further promote studies on epidemiology, molecular genetic properties of CA-MRSA and clinical management of CA-MRSA infection.

Objective: To investigate the relation of diabetic encephalopathy with oxidative stress and hippocampus expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS) in rats and to study the therapeutic effects of curcumin. Methods: Diabetes mellitus was induced by injection of Streptozotocin in rats. The experiment animals were randomly divided into control group, diabetic group, diabetes plus curcumin group and control plus curcumin group; animals in the latter two groups received 60 mg·kg-1·d-1 curcumin treatment. Superoxide dismutase(SOD), catalase(CAT), malondialdehyde(MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) in the hippocampal tissues were measured 12 weeks after treatment. The expression of iNOS mRNA and the mean optical density (MOD) of immunoreactive neurons were evaluated by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry method, respectively. Results: Compared with the control group, diabetic group had significantly lower activities of SOD and CAT, higher contents of NO and MDA, and increased expression of iNOS mRNA and protein in the hippocampal tissues (P<0.01). Compared with the diabetic group, diabetic plus curcumin group had significantly higher activities of SOD and CAT, lower contents of NO and MDA and decreased expression of iNOS mRNA and the MOD of immunoreactive neurons in hippocampus (P<0.01). Conclusion: Diabetic encephalopathy is associated with oxidative stress and increased expression of iNOS; curcumin may protect diabetic encephalopathy by inhibiting oxidative stress and down-regulating the iNOS expression.

Objective To observe the effects on somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) of multichannel functional electrical stimulation (FES) of the legs based on a normal walking pattern,and to compare the effects with two-channel functional electrical stimulation.Methods Thirteen healthy young volunteers (6males and 7 females) were randomly assigned to receive 2 sessions of either two-channel FES for 30 minutes or four-channel FES for 15min with a 3-day interval between the two treatment sessions.The latencies and amplitudes of the N9 and P40 SEPs were recorded before and after every treatment.All the treatments were carried out on the right lower limbs.Results Thirteen healthy young volunteers (6males and 7 females) were randomly assigned to receive 2 sessions of either two-channel FES for 30 minutes or four-channel FES for 15 min with a 3-day interval between the two treatment sessions.The latencies and amplitudes of the N9 and P40 SEPs were recorded before and after every treatment.All the treatments were carried out on the right lower limbs.Conclusions The N9 latency with four-channel FES is remarkably shorter than that with two-channel FES on the legs of healthy young subjects,suggesting that multichannel functional electrical stimulation based on the normal human walking pattern can activate brain cells faster.

Objective To investigate the change of Th22 cells in peripheral blood of patients with Primary sjogren’s syndrome (pSS)and evaluate clinical significance.Methods 37 patients with pSS from January 2014 to November 2015 were enrolled the study as the observation group.Then 37 healthy adults receiving check-up during the same period were selected as con-trol groups in accordance with the proportion of 1∶1.Flow cytometry was performed to evaluate the levels of Th22 cells in peripheral blood,and tenzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA)was used to measure the serum IL-22 levels.Pearson analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between Th22 level and serum IL-22 level,C3,C4,anti-SSA,anti-SSB, ANA antibody,EULAR Sjogren's syndrome disease activity index (ESSDAI)score in observation group.Then the levels of Th22 cells and serum IL-22 were compared among different labial gland pathologic stage in patients with pSS.Results The levels of Th22 cells and serum IL-22 in the observation group were (2.53±1.56)%,718.6±176.8 pg/ml respectively,and significantly higher than (1.24±0.51)%,258.9±72.4 pg/ml in control group (P<0.05).Th22 cell level was positively related with the level of serum IL-22,anti-SSA,anti-SSB and ESSDAI score,and negatively related with the content of C3 and C4 (P<0.05).There were no significant differences in the levels of Th22 cells and serum IL-22 different labial gland pathologic stage in patients with pSS (P>0.05).Conclusion The levels of Th22 cells and serum IL-22 significantly in-creased in patients with pSS,and related to other inflammatory indexes and disease activity,so they may participate in the genesis and development of pSS.

Objective To explore the job burnout and its related factors among nurses.Methods 486 clinical nurses from a three grade second level general hospital were investigated by Moreno-Jimenez nursing burnout scale (NBS) and using SPSS17.0 software and ANOVA method to analyse the data.Results NBS results showed the score of job burnout in 486 objects was (164.92 ± 25.60).Significant differences of job burnout levels were showed among ages,marital status,professional titles,working periods,working relationship,work load,income,and housework periods (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Job burnout is a general phenomenon in these investigated nurses and its level is above average.Administrators should pay more attention to these related factors which can easily cause job burnout and take positive feasibility assistant strategies.

Objective:The drug resistance of E.coli to fluoroquinolones is getting stronger in the recent years.This study aimed at the drug resistance of E.coli induced by fluoroquinolones in vitro,so as to provide a guidance for the rational use of antibiotics and effective control of nosocomial infections.Methods: Drug resistance was induced in vitro by a multi-step method in 10 strains of E.coli from clinical isolates with Ciprofloxacin,Levofloxacin and Gatifloxacin.The minimal inhibition concentration(MIC) of the E.coli was determined by the agar dilution method before and after the induction.Results: After in vitro induction,the E.coli acquired a high resistance(MIC ≥ 128 ?g/ml).And one drug could induce different degrees of resistance to the other two.Conclusion: The MIC of the E.coli induced by fluoroquinolones in vitro was increased by 8 to 8 205 folds compared with that before induction,which demonstrated a gradually developed resistance of E.coli strains to fluoroquinolones.

Objective To Investigate the psychological health status of the patients with functional dyspepsia (FD).Methods A total of 80 patients with FD were chosen at random from Ji-Shui-Tan Hospital GI department and 80 normal control were selected from January,2006 to January,2007.MMPI was used as assessment tool.Results Patients with FD have higher scores in hypochondriasis,depression,hysterism,psychasthenia and paranoia than normal control group (P
