OBJECTIVE:To investigate therapeutic efficacy and safety of linezolid and teicoplanin in the elderly patients with severe MRSA infection. METHODS:97 elderly patients with severe MRSA infection were collected and divided into linezolid group (42 patients) and teicoplanin group (55 patients). Linezolid group was given linezolid 600 mg intravenously,bid;teico-planin group was given teicoplanin 400 mg intravenously,qd,double dose for the first day. Treatment course lasted for 7-21 d. Clin-ical effective rate,bacterium clearance rate and ADR were compared between 2 groups after treatment. RESULTS:The bacterium clearance rate of teicoplanin group was 52.6%,and that of linezolid group was 73.5%;the linezolid group was significantly higher than the teicoplanin group,with statistical significance(χ2=12.57,P=0.034). Clinical effective rate was 78.6% in linezolid group and 58.2% in teicoplanin group;the linezolid group was significantly higher than the teicoplanin group,with statistical significance (χ2=9.56,P=0.018). After 14 days of treatment,APACHEⅡ score of teicoplanin group and linezolid group were (14.56±3.04) and(10.29±4.84),respectively;the teicoplanin group was lower than the linezolid group,with statistical significance(t=10.97, P=0.014). The incidence of ADR was 11.9% in linezolid group and 20.0% in teicoplanin group,with statistical significance(χ2=1.13,P=0.287). CONCLUSIONS:Linezolid has superior curative effect to teicoplanin in the treatment of severe MRSA infection in elderly patients with good safety.

The variability and number of appendixes, publication year and publication journals of full-text files conforming to the JATS standards, selected from 891334 full-text papers published in biomedical journals, were analyzed, which showed that the number of non-text files increased sharply with their appendixes reached 45, and jpg, png, tif accounted for 81%.

Objective To investigate the features of HIV-1-specific Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte (CTL)responses in Chinese.Methods The HIV-1-specific CTL responses were analyzed in an IFN-?ELISPOT assay by using a matrix system containing 820 overlapping peptides spanning the entire HIV-1 Clade B and C consensus sequence.Results The HIV-1-specific CTL response almost clus- tered in Gag and Nef across either HIV-1 Clade B(HIV-1 B)or HIV-1 Clade C(HIV-1 C),while oth- er proteins could also be recognized at different level.In comparison of the response between HIV-1 Clade B and Clade C,the magnitude and frequency was roughly identical with some difference found at single-peptide level.The most frequently recognized peptides of HIV-1 B were located in Nef,GPKEP- FRDYVDRFYKTLR(5/17,29.4%)and Gag,LWVYHTQGYFPDWQNY(5/17,29.4%),while the most frequently recognized peptide of HIV-1 C was located in Gag GPKEPFRDYVDRFFKTLR(6/17, 35.29%).Conclusions HIV-1-specific CTL responses clustered within HIV-1 Gag and Nef in Chinese. However,there was some difference between HIV-1 B and HIV-1 C at single-peptide level.

Objective To observe the clinical therapeutic effect of Shudu Bushen Recipe (Recipe to strengthen the spine and reinforce the kidney) on ankylosing spondylitis at active stage.Methods Totally 165 patients with ankylosing spondylitis at active stage were randomly divided into a treatment group (85 cases) and a control group (80 cases).Both groups were treated with Sulfasalazine and Aceclofenac,and the trentment group was given Shudu Bushen Recipe additionally.Six-month treatment was one course.The clinical changes such as morning stiffness,joint pain and function,erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),C-reactive protein (CRP),immunoglobulin (Ig),X-ray of sacroiliac joint,and adverse reaction were observed.Results In the treatment group,the total effective rate was 94.12%,superior to that in the control group (76.25%),with a significant difference (P0.05).The adverse reaction occurred in the treatment group was less than that of the control group (P
