Objective To analyze the distribution characteristics and antimicrobial resistance of isolated Acinetobacter(A.)bau-mannii from the clinical inpatients in our hospital from 2008 to 2013 to provide the basis for rational use of antibacterial drugs in clinic.Methods The BD phoenix-100 fully automatic microbial analyzer(USA)was adopted to conduct the strain identification and the minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC)detection of clinically isolated A.baumannii.All obtained data were analyzed.Results 128,173,350,282,186 strains of A.baumannii in turn were isolated during these years,the strains in sampling from the clinically i-solated A.baumannii during 2012 was mainly originated from the sputum samples(155 strains,68.28%).In the distribution of hos-pital departments,most concentrated in ICU(65 strains,28.63%),followed by the respiratory department(47 strains,20.70%),the emergency observation wards(35 strains,15.42%)and the apoplexy and geriatric wards(24 strains,10.57%),the most of patients were older people aged more than 60 years.And according to the data within these 5 years,many kinds of different antibacterial drugs had generally the increased drug resistance rate,especially the increasing trend during 2011-2012 was more obvious,the pen-icillins all showed extensive drug-resistance.In the third,fourth generation cephalosporins,aminoglycosides and quinolones were generally drug-resistant.The drug resistance rate of cephalosporins(ceftazidime,cefotaxime,cefepime)remained at a higher level of 75.00%-85.00%.The drug resistance rate of quinolones(ciprofloxacin,levofloxacin)and aminoglycosides(gentamicin,amikacin) also showed the increasing trend year after year.The drug-resistant rate of the beta lactam compound preparations had the rapidly increasing speed,such as which of ampicillin /sulbactam was increased from 60.16% to 83.33%,which of carbapenems such as imipenem and meropenem was increased more significantly,the drug-resistant rate of imipenem was increased from 25.20% to 82.27%,and the detection rate was continually increased.And the drug resistant rate of Schupson was increased from 18.89% to 80%,but the only difference was the drug named Colistin(polymyxin E)maintained a low drug resistance rate during these five years.Conclusion Resistance of A.baumannii to various antibacterial drugs is gradually increased and the isolation rate of multi-drug-resistant and pan-drug resistant A.baumannii is increased year by year.So A.baumannii infection and its drug-resistance changes should be vigilant and be paid more attention to for preventing the emergence and spread of drug-resistant A.baumannii strains.

The eighteen incompatible medicaments is the incompatibilities in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). However, in some special occasion, the incompatible medicaments can also be used in one prescription in the clinical applications. In order to reveal the theoretical basis for applications of incompatible medicaments in prescriptions, we analyzed ancient prescriptions and found that there are contrary Chinese herbal nature combina-tions (CHNCs) which have the same meridian tropism as well as the opposite nature and taste in prescriptions. In clinical applications, one of the non-contrary CHNCs was selected as the main response to syndrome differentia-tion. The contrary CHNCs in the same meridian tropism were used to restrict each other and therefore have the protective effects. The features found in this paper will be beneficial to further research on the rational applica-tion of incompatible medicaments.

Chinese herbal nature combination (CHNC) is the particular combination of nature, taste and channel tropism, which can be used to express the effect of Chinese herbal medicine in the clinical application concisely. The complex system model for the relationship between CHNC and viscera was constructed in this paper based on the thinking model of viscera theory. The model is able to reveal the functional features of CHNC. The model will promote research on the relationship between CHNC and viscera and provide new ideas for clinical applications of CHNC.

This study was aimed to explain the relationship between chemical component and therapy objective and to identify effective component group (ECG). The objective of this study is to build a new method to identify the ECG. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula and one of its treated diseases were selected as the re-search object. The entity grammar systems (EGS) were used as the theoretical framework. A grammatical method for ECG identification was constructed. The component-disease relationship was inferred and the ECG was identi-fied with these inference results. In this paper, 16 compounds which act to 12 proteins in Type 1 diabetes melli-tus (T1D) disease network were identified from Bai-Hu Tang plus Xiao-Ke Fang and 9 chemical compounds were determined as the candidate effective components group. The results indicated that this method can be used to identify ECG and provide a new way to elucidate the molecular mechanism of TCM formula.

Functional analysis concisely summarizes and concentrates on the therapeutic characteristics and features of Chinese herbal medicine. Standardization of the terms for Chinese herbal functions not only plays a key role in modern research and development of Chinese herbal medicine, but also has far-reaching clinical applications. In this paper, a new method for standardizing the terms for Chinese herbal function was proposed. Firstly, functional targets were collected. Secondly, the pathological conditions and the mode of action of every functional target were determined by analyzing the references. Thirdly, the relationships between the pathological condition and the mode of action were determined based on Chinese medicine theory and data. This three-step approach allows for standardization of the terms for Chinese herbal functions. Promoting the standardization of Chinese medicine terms will benefit the overall clinical application of Chinese herbal medicine.

This study was aimed to establish Chinese medicine efficacy concept network in order to reveal the in-ner relation between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and efficacy as well as to suggest the application way of efficacy concept network. Through the collation of medicine efficacy recorded in the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China (2010 Edition, Volume I), the correlation relationship between TCM efficacy concept was systematically analyzed, and the efficacy concept network was constructed in order to extract specific effica-cy sub-network based on efficacy concept network and then to discover the efficacy groups by utilizing the net-work clustering algorithm. In the Chinese medicine efficacy concept network, 422 efficacy concepts were con-structed and 21 tightly efficacy groups were discovered. Using the efficacy of promoting blood circulation as an example, the application of sub-networks was discussed. Chinese medicine efficacy concept network can be used to reflect the basic theory and clinical experiences in Chinese medicine , to systematically reveal the relationship between TCM efficacy concepts, which can be beneficial to guide the reasonable application of Chinese medicine in disease treatment .

Objective To report clinical and pathological features in a Chinese family with CharcotMarie-Tooth disease type 2A2 (CMT2A2). Methods There were 5 patients (2 male and 3 female) in a family with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. The index case was a 36 years old woman. She developed progressive distal limb weakness at the age of 6, with pescavus at the age of 8. Other 4 family members presented with similar symptoms between the age of 3-7. Physical examination showed distal limb weakness and wasting, loss of sensory and contracture in all of them. Nerve conduction velocity revealed non-potential in several motor and sensory nerves in the proband and her son. Sural nerve biopsy was performed on the proband. The sequence of MFN2 gene was analyzed in DNA from 5 patients and 3 asymptomatic members. Results Sural nerve biopsy revealed severe loss of myelinated fibers with few regenerating clusters. Electron microscopy revealed aggregation of mitochondrian in the axons. A R94W mutation in MFN2 gene has been identified in 5 patients, but not in unaffected members. Conclusions We confirmed Chinese CMT2A2. Absent of regenerating cluster in the nerve indicated that MFN2 mutation predominantly resulted in lesions in the neurons.

For solving the problem that common similarity algorithms are insensitive to the relative differences of different chromatographic fingerprints data, this paper improved the algorithms of improved extent similarity), which named new improved extent similarity. It was confirmed that new improved extent similarity could distinguish) the samples with the same total difference and different distribution of relative differences. by applying) the similarity algorithm to simulated data and the chromatographic fingerprints of nine batches Rukuaixiao tablets. New improved extent similarity could reflect the relative differences of peak areas more sensitively when the relative differences of common peak areas was less than 100%. The result indicates that new improved extent similarity can reflect the large deviation from the established proportion of components, which can be applied to the control of the fluctuation of the established proportion of effective components and the process quality control of Traditional Chinese Medicine .
