Based on the resistance mechanism of MRSA, this article reviews the reducing and eliminating effect of Chinese herb extracts on bacterial drug resistance, by means of PBP2a protein binding, γ-lactamase, plasmid, efflux system, cell structure and biofilmdamage.

Objective To understand the general feature of patients with Mycobacterium tuberculosis(MTB)and human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)co-infectious(TB/HIV)in Guangxi, from 2007 to 2012. Methods Information regarding individuals that the contributory causes of death were due to MTB infection among HIV as the underlying cause of death from the Vital Registration System,together with bacterium smear or culture results,onset of TB,time that TB was diagnosed and entered an Internet base TB surveillance system was collected and checked. Data including information on time of death,age,occupation,the underlying cause of death among TB patients, bacterium distribution,average age of death,interval from onset to death,percentage of TB/HIV co-infection patients among all the patients etc,were all analysed. Results 203 patients died from HIV associated with TB from the Guangxi Vital Registration System were identified between 2007 and 2012. The average percentage of TB/HIV co-infection cases accounted for 8.24%(ranging from 3.94%in 2007 to 13.27%in 2012)among all the deaths of HIV infection while it accounted for 9.90%(ranging from 2.56%to in 2007 to 26.88%in 2012)among patients with MTB infection in the same period. The average percentage of deaths from TB/HIV co-infection in 2010 and 2012 accounted for 10.66%(ranging from 8.83% to 13.27%) and 22.17%(ranging from 20.60% to 26.88%) among patients died of HIV and TB infection respectively. The male-female ratio was 4.21 for 1,with the average age of death as 44.65 (44.65 ± 15.52)years;median time from TB symptoms onset to diagnosis as 37(mean 94.31,standard deviation 206.07)days,record as(94.31 ± 206.07);median time from diagnosis to death as 46(165.22 ± 282.19)days,54.68%TB/HIV patients died within two months of being diagnosed with TB and the median time from TB symptoms onset to death as 131 (257.68 ± 340.79) days. 16.26% of the TB/HIV cases were bacterium confirmed TB cases. Conclusion Compare to those TB patients without HIV,less bacterium evidence was found in TB/HIV patients. High burden caused by HIV disease was seen if they were co-infected with TB. An increasing proportion of deaths was noticed among patients co-infected with HIV and TB in the last three years,suggesting that the coverage of antiretroviral therapy be scaled up together with the strengthening of the capability on early TB case-finding among people live with HIV.

Objective: To study the changes of the sensitivity of the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to oxacillin after Chinese herbs. effects, so as to find Chinese medicine that can enhance the sensitivity of MRSA to antibiotics and provide new ideas for the clinical treatment of MRSA infection. Methods: A total of 33 commonly used antibacterial herbs were selected to prepare extracts, which act on clinically isolated MRSA. The broth micro dilution method was used to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of oxacillin on MRSA before and after the action of Chinese medicine. If there is a statistically significant difference (P ＜ 0.05), the medicine is effective. Results:The MIC of oxacillin on MRSA were 128-512 μg·ml-1, after the effect of Bletilla extracts, the change of MIC showed a statistically significant difference (P ＜ 0.05), which could increase the sensitivity of MRSA (271) to oxacillin. Conclusion:Bletilla extracts can enhance the sensitivity of MRSA (271) to oxacillin and the compatibility with antibiotics is expected to restore the efficacy of antibiotic.

Objective To analyze the data of TB/HIV dual infection screening and treatment monitoring in Guangxi during 2010-2015 and to evaluate the prevention and treatment status quo and development trend.Methods The annual monitoring report forms of TB/HIV dual infection during 2010-2015 were collected for deriving the special data of AIDS in corresponding years.Then the data were conducted the comparison and trend analysis.Results The acceptance rates of HIV detection among Guangxi TB patients and the acceptance rate of TB related screening detection in patients with HIV infection/AIDS showed the increasing trend year by year (P＜0.05);the positive detection rate of two-way showed the decreasing trend year by year (P＜0.05).The patients with TB/HIV dual infection were mainly concentrated in the central area of Guangxi.The annual monitoring report table data in annual monitoring TB/HIV dual infection prevention and treatment work trended to be consistent with the twoway registration and screening data in the special report system,but the errors still existed;the rate of receiving anti-TB and anti-viral combined therapy in the patients with TB/HIV dual infection was lower,which was fluctuated from 20％ to 60％;the treatment success rate was still elevated year by year,but which was affected by death,lose and other outcomes.Conclusion The TB/HIV dual epidemic situation has already obtained a certain effect along with comprehensively promoting the dual infection prevention and control work in Guangxi area.

Objective To study the spatial and temporal mode of infectious TB transmission in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (Guangxi).Methods Data related to infectious TB case (Include smear and/or culture positive patients) in Guangxi were collected from the National Notifiable Disease Reported System (NNDRS) from 2010 to 2015.Spatial-temporal analysis and prediction were performed by SaTScan 7.0.2,GeoDa 1.8.12,R program v 3.3.1 and SPSS 19.0 software,using the time series model,Moran' s I global and local spatial autocorrelation (Empirical Bayes adjustment).Kulldorff ' s space-time scan statistics displayed by R software was used to identify the temporal and spatial trend of TB.Results The total number of infectious TB cases,collected from NNDRS was 76 151,and showing a decreasing trend on annual incidence (value of Chi-square for Linear trend=3 464.53,P-value=0.000).The forecast value of TB cases in 2016 was 7 764 (4 971-10 557),with peak in March,analyzed through the Winters' multiplicative model.The Moran' s I global Statistics was greater than 0 (0.257-0.390).TB cluster seemed to have been existed for several years.The most significant hot spots seemed to be mainly located in the central and western parts of Guangxi,shown by local spatial autocorrelation statistics and the result from space-time scanning.Counties or districts that located in the east parts of Guangxi presented the low-low relation (significant cold spots).The situation of infectious TB seemed migratory.Conclusions Our data showed an annual decreasing trend of incidence on infectious TB with temporal concentration in spring and summer.Main clusters (hot spots) were found to be located in the central and western parts of Guangxi.Hopefully,our findings can provide clues to uncover the real mode of TB transmission at the molecular-biological level.
