The susceptibility to 9 kinds of antibiotics of 393 animal pathogenic E. coli isolated from clinical samples was determined from 2000 to 2003. The resistance to TC, GM, CMP, AMP, RA, KM, FT, SM and CIP were 93.89%, 57.76%,78.63%, 77.86%, 92.11% ,47.33%, 46.82%, 76.84% and 74.81%, respectively. The isolates could be classified into eight classes according to the number of drugs to which srains were resistant. The resistance spectrum of the isolates varied from 2to 9 kinds of the above drugs. The strains that were resistant to seven kinds of drugs were more than 80 percent. The resistance rates of swine origin strains to GM,AMP and KM were higher than those of poultry origin strains, while the resistance rates of poultry origin strains to TC, CMP, SM and CIP were higher remarkably than those of swine origins. The frequency of resistance increased from 2000 to 2003,which was from 67.33% to 90.58% for CMP, 71.29% to 84.81% for AMP, 73.76%to 80.10% for SM and 61.88% to 88.48% for CIP. At the same time, the resistance rate of GM decreased from 61.39% to 53.92%. Thirty-seven strains (95 %) could make all the Kunming mice die within 72 h injected intraperitoneally with the culmice three times in vivo. The pathogenicity of wild strains with drug resistance acquired naturaly to mice did not decline.

Objective To study the expression of substance P(SP) and substance P receptor(SPR) during the development of mice brains. Methods The expression of SP and SPR during the development of mice brains from embryonic day(E) 11 to postnatal day(P) 0 days was analyzed by immunohistochemical method. Results The expression of SP began at E11 and gradually increased until birth. The expression of SPR began at E11 and maintained stable expression until birth. SP mostly expressed at striatum and SPR mostly expressed at medullary raphe.Conclusion The expression of SP and SPR during the embryo brain stage may indicate that SP could be an important factor involved in the early organization and maturation of neuron.

BACKGROUND: There are many studies on the effect of different experimental parameters on the tetragonal phase of zirconia, but it is unclear whether pH values have effects on the tetragonal phase in hydrothermal reactionOBJECTIVE: To prepare two zirconia systems via hydrothermal method and to regulate the tetragonal phase purity and control the grain size of zirconia (ZrO2) crystal by pH values.METHODS: Analytical reagents Zr(NO3)4?5H2O and Y(NO3)3?6H2O were adopted as reactors, and nano-sized neat ZrO2 and yttria-stabilized tetragonal ZrO2 polycrystal (Y-TZP) powders were synthesized using the hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction was adopted to characterize the influence of pH values and pH regulators (NaOH solution and ammonium hydroxide/NaOH solution) on phase purity and grain size of tetragonal zirconia.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Pure zirconia samples with a grain size lower than 20 nm were obtained through the hydrothermal method, and samples with higher tetragonal phase content compared to monoclinic phase could be derived when the pH value was higher than 10. The optimal pH values for neat zirconia and Y-TZP were 13 and 12,respectively. Furthermore, the ammonium hydroxide/NaOH solution was more favorable to enhance the content of tetragonal zircona. Therefore, the control of pH values and rational choice of pH regulators can improve the tetragonal phase purity and grain size of zirconia.

ABSTRACT The taboos of man-spirit (RenShen) and bottom-spirit (KaoShen) are two kinds of time-related contraindications that are more commonly seen in the literature of acupuncture and moxibustion. The meaning of man-spirit is often extended to qi-blood or mind, or else directly equals to heaven-spirit (TianShen). It is highly possible that the bottom-spirit is subordinate to man-spirit, and both Taoist philosophy and the SanCai theory declare the importance of bottom in human body. The violation of contraindications could lead to diseases in the neighborhood where man-spirit travels. However, the results are generally recorded as ulcer, lingering disease and death in most medical texts. From Ming dynasty, more and more doctors have expressed disapproval of man-spirit and bottom-spirit.

[Abstract ] Objective Clinically, the necessity of acid suppression treatment in vocal leukoplakia is still controversial .This paper aims to investigate the roles of LPR in the pathogenesis and pathological process of vocal leukoplakia , and to clear the signifi-cance of acid suppression in the treatment of this disease through observing the influence of laryngopharyngeal reflux ( LPR) on the symptoms of postoperative vocal leukoplakia . Methods We collected 97 cases underwent vocal leukoplakia surgery from June 2013 to December 2015 in the Department of Otorhinolarygology Head and Neck Surgery , Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Re-gion.According to the results of ambulatory 24-hour double probe ( simultaneous esophageal and pharyngeal ) pH monitoring ( pH-me-try), the patients with vocal leukoplakia were divided into LPR group (n=26, laryngopharyngeal reflux) and non-LPR group(n=71, non-laryngopharyngeal reflux).Meanwhile, the patients in LPR group were then randomly divided into acid-suppressing group(n=13, oral esomeprazole ) and non-acid-suppressing ( n=13, oral placebo ) . All patients received evaluation and compared by electrolaryngendo-scope, voice handicap index-10 ( VHI-10), reflux symptom index ( RSI) and reflux finding score ( RFS) before operation and 8 weeks after operation, and observe the effect of laryngopharyngeal reflux and acid suppression on the symptoms of postoperative vocal leukoplakia . Results RSI and RFS after operation were significantly lower than before operation in LPR group[(13.6±5.8) vs (18.2±6.2), (9.2±2.4) vs (10.6±2.8), P<0.05].The difference of RSI and RFS between before and after operation in LPR group was higher than the non-LPR group[(5.8±1.4) vs (2.3±0.8), (1.2±0.6) vs (0.5±0.2), P<0.05].The difference of RSI and RFS between before and after operation in acid-suppressing group was higher than the non-acid-suppressing group[(6.6±1.2) vs (0.8±0.6), (2.6±0.6) vs (0.5±0.3), P<0.05].VHI-10 after operation was significantly lower than before operation in acid-suppressing group[(12.6±3.6) vs (15.2±4.2), P<0.05] Conclusion Standard PPI administration to patients suffering from vocal leukoplakia accompanied with LPR can alleviate the symptoms of LPR and improve hoarseness .

Objective To evaluate the intervention effect of atorvastatin on the arterial restenosis after intracavitary therapy of the lower extremity atherosclerotic occlusive disease. Methods One hundred and eighteen patients who undertook intracavitary therapy (including Balloon dilation, Stent implantation and endarterectomy, Stent implantation and thrombectomy) in our hospital from January 2008 to January 2010 were divided into two groups randomly,60 cases into the control group,and 58 cases into the atorvastatin group whom were orally medicated with Atorvastatin 20 mg once daily. Blood lipid, C-reactive protein, Intima-media thickness and the patency rate of lower limb artery of two groups were observed and recorded before treatment and at 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks after treatment. Results Success rates of intracavitary therapy were 98. 33% (59/60) and 100. 00% (58/58) in the control and atorvastatin group respectively. The patency rate decreased in different degree with time in both groups,which decreased more significantly in the control group but remained relatively stable in the atorvastatin group. By follow up we found that the patency rate in the control group was significantly lower than that of in the Atorvastatin group(77. 96% vs 94. 82% ,P ＜ 0. 01 )at 24 weeks. Blood lipid, C-reactive protein, Intima-media thickness and the patency rate of lower extremity artery of control group increased in different degrees, but with no statistical significance (P＞ 0. 05 ), while these indices began to decrease in atorvastatin group after 4 weeks of medication and were significantly lower than the control group ( P ＜ 0.01 ). Conclusions Atorvastatin has effect on preventing the arterial restenosis after intracavitary therapy of the lower extremity atherosclerotic occlusive disease.

BACKGROUND:The use of three-dimensional cel culture techniques can better simulate the cel ular microenvironment, providing new tools for tissue engineering research.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the biomaterial selection and application characteristics in three-dimensional cel culture as wel as applications in tumor tissue engineering.
METHODS:We searched Wanfang database and PubMed database 1998-2015 years for relevant literature using keywords of“three-dimensional cultures;scaffold;cel growth;cel differentiation;tumor tissue engineering”in Chinese and English, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The selection and application of three-dimensional scaffold materials is one of the keys. So far, scaffold materials, such as col agen gels, gelatin sponge, agarose, chitosan, demineralized bone matrix, cannot provide the extracel ular matrix similar to the micro-environment in which seed cel growth and proliferation are not affected, and the ability to secrete type II col agen and glycosaminoglycan is decreased, although they can provide three-dimensional space for seed cel s. Biomimetic scaffold characterized as little trauma and strong plasticity gradual y shows its unique advantages. Three-dimensional culture conditions raise pro-angiogenic growth factor secretion from tumor cel s, and this feature is positively correlated with the occurrence of in vivo tumor angiogenesis.

Objective To investigate the rule of the cerebral tissues aquaporin-4(AQP-4) expression in acute and chronic hepatic failure mice.To study the molecular biologic mechanism of the diffusion weighted imaging(DWI).Methods Sixty five male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups randomly,including acute(n=25),chronic hepatic failure(n=25)and control group(n=15). Thioacetamide(TAA)intraperitoneal injection produces the acute and chronic hepatic failure models.All rats in groups were examined with MR DWI.We Observed the distribution of abnormal signal on DWI.The DWI single values of top and lateral cortex of parietal lobe,peripheral region of lateral ventricle in the highest hyperintensity section of brain were measured.Blood ammonia values were examined.The pathologic and immuno-histochemistry and RT-PCR examination for brain specimen were performed.All date were analyzed with statistical methods.Results The mean values of blood ammonia were significantly different (P0.05).Conclusions Increase of the blood ammonia was the main cause for the brain energy metabolic abnormality and AQP-4 mRNA and protein expression.The hyperammonemia was the key factor in the occurrence and development of the hepatic brain edema.The abnormal findings in DWI signal could reflect the range and degree of the brain edema and AQP-4 protein expression.

Objective To observe microvascular architecture and free radical metabolism in hippocampus after focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion and to explore the effect of NBP (3-n-butylphthalide). Methods Fifty-four SD rats were ran?domly divided into NBP pretreatment group, ischemia/reperfusion group and sham operation group (n=18 in each group). The model of middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)was established by suture method. The neurological scores were counted and the volume of infarction was measured;TA-Fe method was applied to observe the microvascular architecture of hippo?campus, Mivnt image analysis system was used to analyze the microvessel density(MVD)and the microvessel area density (MVA)of hippocampus quantitatively;The activity of SOD and content of MDA were measured by colorimetric method. Re?sults Compared to the ischemia reperfusion(IR)group, the neurological scores and the volume of infarction were decreased sharply in NBP group. What′s more, the activity of SOD, MVD and MVA were all enhanced but the content of MDA and the count of closed microvessels were both reduced(P < 0.01). Conclusion NBP can improve microvascular architecture of hippocampus and reduce the free radical injury. There is a protective effect on hippocampus of rats who suffered focal cere?bral ischemia reperfusion.
