Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance of clinically isolated pathogens from geriatrics department of a hospital in 2013,so as to provide reference for clinical antimicrobial use.Methods Distribution and antimicrobial resistance of pathogens isolated from patients in a geriatrics department between Janu-ary and December 2013 were analyzed statistically.Results Of 1 896 pathogenic strains,1 289(67.99%)were gram-negative bacteria,439 (26.00%)were gram-positive bacteria,and 114(6.01%)were fungi;the top 4 isolated pathogens were Klebsiella pneumoniae ,Pseudomonas aeruginosa ,Acinetobacter baumannii ,and Escherichia coli .Extended-spec-trumβ-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae accounted for 53.26% and 31.10% of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae respectively;Of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis strains,methicillin-resistant isolates (MRSA and MRSE)accounted for 22.47% and 80.00%,respectively,of Enterococ-cus strains,vancomycin-resistant isolates (VRE)was 3.10%,Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacteriaceae were highly sensitive to imipenem,meropenem and ertapenem.Resistant rate of Acinetobacter baumannii to imipenem and meropenem was 79.48% and 80.35% respectively,Pseudomonas aeruginosa had the lowest resistant rate to amikacin (10.70%). Gram-positive bacteria were highly sensitive to vancomycin and linezolid.Conclusion The major pathogens isolated from the elderly patients are gram-negative bacteria,and antimicrobial resistance is serious,surveillance of antimicrobial resist-ance is important for rational use of antimicrobial agents and control of pathogen resistance.

Objective　To investigate whether matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) was synthesized in pregnant cervix during parturition and its source and distribution. Methods　Cervical species (n=10, each weighing about 0.3 g) were taken from pregnant women immediately after delivery. Other cervical species (n=7) were served as negative control from those non-pregnant women but undergoing uterotomy due to other benign diseases. Immunohistochemical method (ABC) was carried out to detect the expression of MMP-9, with a monoclonal antibody against MMP-9. Results　Positive staining of MMP-9 was found in the cytoplasm of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) that had infiltrated into cervix or located in blood vessels of cervix. Scattered light positive staining were found in some interstitial cells of the cervix. No other cells including fibrocytes and lymphocytes were positive to MMP-9. No positive staining was found in control tissues. Conclusion　There are strong expressions of MMP-9 in pregnant cervix in term labor, derived mainly from infiltrated PMN. MMP-9 may be an important regulator in the process of cervical ripening.

Objective To investigate the effect of lysostaphin on golden staphylococcal bacteria in vitro and on acestoma tissue.Methods Effects of lysostaphin on golden staphylococcal bacteria,Candida albicans and P.aeruginosa were detected by drug sensitivity test.Quantitative analysis of bacteria was used to detect the effect of lysostaphin on golden staphylococcal bacteria in 29 cases of 10%-30% TBSA.Results Most golden staphylococcal bacteria,as well as Candida albicans could be killed by lysostaphin.Lysostaphin had little effect on P.aeruginosa.Eighty-nine percent bacteria could be killed by lysostaphin after gauze with lysostaphin had been used for over 3 d,indicating lysostaphin may control bacteria quantity and improve survival rate of skin graft on granulation tissue.Gauze with lysostaphin contained biological enzymes and it had no systemic side effects.Conclusion Gauze with lysostaphin may be available on controlling golden staphylococcal bacteria as well as Candida albicans in burnt patients.Lysostaphin is effective in controlling residual trauma infected by golden staphylococcal bacteria.

Base on the Kawakita powder compression equation, a general theoretical model for predicting the compression characteristics of multi-components pharmaceutical powders with different mass ratios was developed. The uniaxial flat-face compression tests of powder lactose, starch and microcrystalline cellulose were carried out, separately. Therefore, the Kawakita equation parameters of the powder materials were obtained. The uniaxial flat-face compression tests of the powder mixtures of lactose, starch, microcrystalline cellulose and sodium stearyl fumarate with five mass ratios were conducted, through which, the correlation between mixture density and loading pressure and the Kawakita equation curves were obtained. Finally, the theoretical prediction values were compared with experimental results. The analysis showed that the errors in predicting mixture densities were less than 5.0% and the errors of Kawakita vertical coordinate were within 4.6%, which indicated that the theoretical model could be used to predict the direct compaction characteristics of multi-component pharmaceutical powders.

Objective To evaluate the advantage and clinical value of javanica oil emulsion injection combined with radiotherapy for esophageal carcinoma. Method Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) concerning javanica oil emulsion injection combined with radiotherapy for esophageal carcinoma were made on electronic databases of CBM, CNKI, Wangfang, VIP and PubMed from 1990 to February 28, 2015. Quality of the included RCTs was assessed by Jadad scoring , and Meta-analyses were performed by RevMan5.3 software. Results Seven RCTs involving 575 patients were included in Meta-analysis. All studies were in low quality. The results of Meta-analyses showed that Javanica oil emulsion injection combined with radiotherapy for esophageal carcinoma, compared with control groups, could increase the recent curative effect (P < 0.000 01) and improve the quality of live (P = 0.000 8), decrease the hematologic toxicities (P = 0.03) and the incidence rate of radioaction esophagitis (P = 0.02), but not enough evidence was found to prove that it can enhance survival rate (P = 0.25). Conclusions The results of Meta-analysis indicate that javanica oil emulsion injection may have therapeutic effects on the treatment of esophageal carcinoma. Yet the effects of javanica oil emulsion injection still need to be confirmed by large multi-center randomized controlled trials.

Along with the gradual implementation in legislative work of traditional Chinese medicine,the acupuncture education in Australia has rapidly developed.This paper will examine the history of acupuncture in Australia,laws and regulations of acupuncture education in Australia and the Australian acupuncture education system.It will also demonstrate on how the legislation of traditional Chinese medicine has promoted the development of acupuncture education in Australia.

Objective:To evaluate the quality of carbazochrome sodium sulfonate Injection from different manufacturers, analyze the existing problems and provide the reference for the improvement of clinical medication safety. Methods:Statutory testing methods and the exploratory research methods were used to examine the samples, and the quality status of carbazochrome sodium sulfonate Injec-tion was evaluated according to the results. Results:Totally 89 batches of the samples were tested by the current standard. The quali-fied rate was 97. 8%, and the two batches of unqualified samples were carbazochrome sodium sulfonate and sodium chloride Injection with unqualified insoluble particles. Overall, the quality risk of carbazochrome sodium sulfonate for injection was low, and the safety of carbazochrome sodium sulfonate and sodium chloride Injection needed further research. Conclusion:The quality of carbazochrome so-dium sulfonate Injection basically meets the current standard, and the exploratory research suggests that the current standard is imper-fect. It is urgent to improve the related substance detection in the standard and determine the reasonable limits for the degradation im-purities and the other impurities. The clinical medication safety of carbazochrome sodium sulfonate and sodium chloride Injection needs further research.

· As a member of the stem cells family, mesenchymal stem cells ( MSCs ) have been proved to be effective on the repair of tissue injury. Although the specific mechanism is still unclear, MSCs do have a promising future in retinal disease therapy.The results of the current research are diverse.We still have an urgent and long way to explore the details of MSCs.So it’s significant for further understanding of MSCs to analyze the possible mechanism and influencing factors.
