Objective To investigate the effect of effective fractions from Radix Vitis Davidii Foex. on fracture healing. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into model control group,Yunnan Baiyao group,and effective fraction group (n= 36 each group). Fracture models were established. Rats in the Yunnan Baiyao group and effective fraction group were given 3.0 g?kg-1?d-1 of Yunnan Baiyao and effective fraction from Radix Vitis Davidii Foex.,respectively,and rats in the model control group was treated with the same volume of pure water. Alkaline phosphatase and Ca concentration in serum were determined.For radius fracture structure,digital radiography and RT-PCR detection of VEGF mRNA expression were performed. Results The peak concentration of the alkaline phosphatase and Ca concentration in serum were significantly higher in the effective fraction group than in the Yunnan Baiyao group,and peak value appeared earlier,fracture healing score was higher, fracture line disappeared earlier,and VEGF mRNA expression was significantly higher in three weeks after the fracture (all P<0. 01) . Conclusion The effect of the effective fraction from RadixVitis Davidii Foex.on the fracture healing is strong.

Objective To monitor the antifungal resistance of clinical isolates of Candida spp.in the East China region.Methods MALDI-TOF MS or molecular methods were used to re-identify the strains collected from January 2018 to December 2022.Antifungal susceptibility testing was performed using the broth microdilution method.The susceptibility test results were interpreted according to the breakpoints of 2022 Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)documents M27 M44s-Ed3 and M57s-Ed4.Results A total of 3 026 strains of Candida were collected,65.33%of which were isolated from sterile body sites,mainly from blood(38.86%)and pleural effusion/ascites(10.21%).The predominant species of Candida were Candida albicans(44.51%),followed by Candida parapsilosis complex(19.46%),Candida tropicalis(13.98%),Candida glabrata(10.34%),and other Candida species(0.79%).Candida albicans showed overall high susceptibility rates to the 10 antifungal drugs tested(the lowest rate being 93.62%).Only 2.97%of the strains showed dose-dependent susceptibility(SDD)to fluconazole.Candida parapsilosis complex had a SDD rate of 2.61%and a resistance rate of 9.42%to fluconazole,and susceptibility rates above 90%to other drugs.Candida glabrata had a SDD rate of 92.01%and a resistance rate of 7.99%to fluconazole,resistance rates of 32.27%and 48.24%to posaconazole and voriconazole non-wild-type strains(NWT),respectively,and susceptibility rates above 90%to other drugs.Candida tropicalis had resistance rates of 29.55%and 26.24%to fluconazole and voriconazole,respectively,resistance rates of 76.60%and 21.99%to posaconazole and echinocandins non-wild-type strains(NWT),and a resistance rate of 2.36%to echinocandins.Conclusions The prevalence and species distribution of Candida spp.in the East China region are consistent with previous domestic and international reports.Candida glabrata exhibits certain degree of resistance to fluconazole,while Candida tropicalis demonstrates higher resistance to triazole drugs.Additionally,echinocandins resistance has emerged in Candida albicans,Candida glabrata,Candida tropicalis,and Candida parapsilosis.
