Objective To establish erythromycin resistance models of Streptococcus pneumoniae for analysis of the mutations in the binding domain of erythromycin. Methods Streptococcus pneumonia tigr4 and two clinical sensitive isolates were induced with erythromycin by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method for antimicrobial susceptibility, and then the rplD, rplV genes, and 23S rRNA in sensitive and resistant strains were amplified by PCR and RT-PCR for sequencing. CPHmodels-2.0 was used to predict the spatial structures of ribosomal protein L4 and L22 coded by rplD and rplV genes. Results MIC of Streptococcus pneumonia tigr4 increased from 0.0312 mg/L to 256mg/L while MICs of the two clinical isolates increased from 0.0312 mg/L to 32 mg/L. Comparison of the pre-and post-induction results showed V32A mutation in ribosomal protein L4, D35G mutation in ribosomal protein L22, and 67QK68 to 67RE68 mutations in ribosomal protein L4. Changes in spatial structure was found in SiThe ribosomal protein L22 and ribosomal protein L4 due to D35G, Q67R, and K68E mutations respectively. Conclusion Streptococcus pneumonia can be induced to resistant to erythromycin in vitro. The mechanisms of resistance may be relate to the new mutations in the binding domain of erythromycin.

BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive transforaminal interbody fusion (Mis-TLIF) for spondylolisthesis has been introduced to reduce muscle trauma, minimize blood loss, and achieve earlier rehabilitation. However, there is a lack of evidence-based medicine concerning the therapeutic efficacy of Mis-TLIF versus open TLIF for spondylolisthesis. OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Mis-TLIF versus open TLIF for spondylolisthesis.METHODS: WanFang, CNKI, PubMed, and Cochrane Library databases were searched using the keywords of spondylolisthesis, minimally invasive transforaminal interbody fusion, open transforaminal interbody fusion in English and Chinese, respectively. The quality evaluation and data extraction of the included literatures were conducted by two authors independently. A meta-analysis was performed on RevMan 5.3 software.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Ten literatures were included, including 7 retrospective and 3 randomized controlled trials; 963 cases were enrolled (489 cases of Mis-TLIF, 474 cases of open TLIF). (1) Meta-analysis results showed that there were no significant differences in the operation time, postoperative complication rate, and fusion rate at the last follow-up between two groups, suggesting that the two methods expose analogical effects on the pain relief and functional recovery. (2) There were significant differences in the intraoperative blood loss and radiological times between two methods. (3) To conclude, Mis-TLIF holds similar operation time, incidence of complications and functional recovery with open TLIF, accompanied by minimized trauma, and reduced intraoperative and postoperative blood loss, which is considered as a safe and effective surgical method.

It is necessary to understand how to develop a detailed plan before repair, observe specific circumstances of the fracture from multiple angles, and establish three-dimensional images using two-dimensional X-ray films or CT scan. These raise a chalenge for each physician. OBJECTIVE:To explore the application effect of three-dimensional print, minimaly invasive percutaneous screw and locking plate fixation in the repair of ankle fractures. METHODS: A total of 26 cases of fracture of ankle joint were treated from January 2012 to June 2014. There were 9 cases of double ankle fracture, 12 cases of three ankle fractures, and 5 cases of three ankle fractures involved PILON fracture on the lower tibia. They received spiral CT scanning on the ankle joint, and stored in the format of di.com. After processing with minics software, data were converted into STL format, and then input into the three-dimensional printer. Thus, models of ankle joint were made at the ratio of 1:1. The repair scheme was made. After discharge, X-ray films were checked every month to observe the healing condition of fractures. According to Mazur ankle score standard, ankle joint function was assessed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Al 26 cases were folowed up for 6-12 months. The fractures were healed. The healing time was 4-6 months, averagely 5.5 months. The healing was good, without vascular and nerve damage, or plate breakage. In accordance with the Mazur ankle score standard, there were excelent in 11 cases, good in 13 cases with an excelent and good rate of 92%. The operation time was (64±15) minutes, and intraoperative blood loss was (100±15) mL. The incision was healed in stage one. These findings confirm that the simulation training and operation in fracture models of three-dimensional print have smal injuries to patients with ankle fracture. The bleeding was less, the operation was simple, the healing time was short, and the functional recovery was rapid, especialy for comminuted fracture.
