Objective To investigate the interaction of in vitro antibacterial activity between cefoperazone-sulbactam and imipenem against carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacterbaumannii.Methods The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of imipenem and cefoperazone-sulbactam against Acinetobacter baumannii were detected and the fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index of imipenem/cefoperazone-sulbactam combination was calculated by broth micro-dilution method.The interactions of imipenem and cefoperazone-sulbactam were assayed by K-B agar plate method.Results The MIC50 of cefoperazone-sulbactam and imipenem were both 16 mg/L,and MIC90 of the two drugs were both 64 mg/L.Among the 26 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii,16 strains had FIC indexes ≤0.5,and 10 had FIC indexes≥2.0.K-B agar plate assay showed that the cefoperazone-sulbactam/imipenem combination was synergistic for strains with FIC indexes≤0.5,and antagonistic for strains with FIC indexes ≥ 2.0.Conclusions Imipenem in combination with cefoperazone-sulbactam can be either antagonistic or synergistic against carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.The clinical use of cefoperazone-sulbactam/imipenem combination for the treatment of carbapenem resistance Acinetobacter baumannii infections should be cautious in case of antagonism.

ObjectiveTo study the correlation between essential hypertension and plasma aminopeptidase A.MethodsThe people of the Han nationality in Huainan city received questionnaire investigation and their blood pressure,height and weight were measured.131 individuals suffered from hypertension and 134 healthy individuals belongs to hypertensive pedigree and 127 individuals suffered from hypertension and 132 healthy individuals belongs to non-hypertensive pedigree were reseached.The level of Ang Ⅱ in plasma was detected by RIA,and the level of APA was detected by ELISA.ResultsThe levels of Ang Ⅱ and APA in plasma in HP group was significantly higher than that in NHP group in two pedigrees ( t =10.3398,6.5613,11.7089,6.6683,all P ＜ 0.01 ).Furthermore,the levels of Ang Ⅱ and APA in plasma in HP group in hypertensive pedigree was significantly higher than that in HP group in nonhypertensive pedigree(t =3.6201,6.1091,all P ＜ 0.01 ).There was significantly positive correlation between MAP and the levels of Ang Ⅱ and APA in plasma in HP group in two pedigrees ( r =0.315,0.392,all P ＜ 0.05 in non-hypertensive pedigree,and r =0.412,0.505,all P ＜ 0.01 in hypertensive pedigree ).There was positive correlation between the levels of Ang Ⅱ and APA in plasma in HP group in hypertensive pedigree ( r =0.322,P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionThere was significant difference between hypertensive pedigree and non-hypertensive pedigree in the levels of APA;The levels of APA in plasma in HP group was significantly increased in the individuals suffered from hypertension,and was positively correlated with MAP.

Objective The current study was to investigate the clinical and pathological features of macroscopic hematuria associated acute kideny injury (MH-AKI) in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and its associated prognostic factors.Methods We performed an analysis on the clinical and pathological features of biopsy-proven IgAN patients diagnosed during 2004 to August of 2007,who had experienced MH associated AKI.The patients enrolled in the study were followed up.The renal lesions were evaluated with Katafuchi pathological scores of IgAN.Results 5 patients with IgAN had experienced at least one episode of MH-AKI,accounting for 1.3% of IgAN diagnosed during the same period and 13.5% of IgAN patients with macroscopic hematuria.High proportion of tubules filled with red blood cell casts and tubular injury were demonstrated in all biopsy specimens.Renal function of 3 patients completely recovered within 14 days.One patient (patient 4) got quick recovery in the first month of the disease but completely recovered 418 days later.The other patients only had an incomplete recovery during the 20-month follow-up.The incompletely recovered one had relatively an older age,longer persistence of MH,more sclerotic glomeruli and a more severe tubule-interstitial damage.Conclusion AKI is commonly seen during episodes of MH in patients with IgAN.Not all patients with MH-AKI showed a complete recovery.Age,duration of MH,proportion of glomerular sclerosis and the severity of tubular necrosis might be the risk factors of an incomplete recovery of renal function.

Objective To investigate the role of interferon ?on smooth muscle cells proliferation and migration after balloon injury. Methods Animal model of rabbit iliac artery balloon injury was set up, smooth muscle cells derived from injured artery were cultured. Smooth muscle cells were divided into four groups ( control, TGF ? 1, IFN ?, TGF ? 1 and IFN ?).Cells from each group were treated with medium or TGF ? 1 (10 ng/ml) and/or IFN ?(500 u/ml) for 72 h separately. Smooth muscle cell proliferation was determined by cell count and MTT, migration of smooth muscle cells was also detected. Matrix metalloproteinase 2 was also detected by zymography. Results Our results showed that, compared with group control(2.875?0.323?10 5 cells/ml,279.9?8.129 ?m), TGF ? 1 increased cell count (4.188?0.239?10 5 cells/ml, P

Controlling serum phosphorus levels is critical in patients with renal failure. Currently phosphate-binding agents are widely used to reduce phosphate absorption in patients with endstage renal disease. If possible,serum phosphorus level should be reduced without disturbing calcium homeostasis or increasing accumulation of potentially toxic elements. Aluminum hydroxide and traditional calcium -based phosphate binders are commonly used to control serum phosphorus level. Aluminum hydroxide can effectively lower serum phosphorus level,but aluminum can accumulates in the body and results in toxic effect. Traditional calcium-based phosphate binders tend to promote hypercalcemia and calcium overloading,and accelerate cardiovascular calcification. Therefore aluminum -free and calcium-free phosphate-binding agents have become the focus of study; however,agents like sevelamer hydrochloride and lanthanum carbonate are not widely used due to high price,although they are effective in controlling serum phosphorus level. New generation of phosphate binders,such as colestilan,nicotinic acid and magnesium salt,are cheaper than their previous counterparts,but their long -term effect still needs to be observed. This article summarizes the progress of non-calcium phosphate binders in treatment of end-stage renal diseases,hoping to help clinical drug usage.

Objective To analyze the related factors of relapse of leukemia after transplantation of nonmyeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells. Methods Among the twenty-nine patients with acute leukemia who received transplantation of nonmyeloablative allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells, relapse of leukemia occurred in 5 patients. The nonmyeloablative protocol included the pretreatment of CD3 monoclonal antibody, cyclosporine A, cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, and fludarabine was added in 3 patients. Results All the 5 patients went through smoothly the hematopoietic suppression stage, and engraftment of the donor cells was successful. Leukemia relapsed in 4 patients with full donor chimerism (full donor chimerism was converted from the mixed chimerism in 2 patients), and relapse occurred in 1 patient with stable mixed chimerism. Except for 1 patient, all of them did not show acute GVHD or chronic GVHD. Second complete remission after double transplant was achieved in one patient, but leakemia relapsed in two months. In other four patients treatment was given up. Conclusion Transplantation of nonmyeloablative allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells is a safe and effective method for the treatment of acute leukemia.
