The objective of this experiment was to investigate the inhibitory effect and mechanism of mammary-derived extracellular vesicles(MmEVs)from mastitis dairy cows on the biofilm for-mation of Staphylococcus aureus SA1.The biofilm-forming ability of Staphylococcus aureus SA1 was confirmed using Congo red staining,and the biofilm growth curve of S.aureus SA1 was plot-ted using the crystal violet staining method.The minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)and minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration(MBIC)of MmEVs against S.aureus SA1 were deter-mined.After treating S.aureus SA1 with different concentrations of MmEVs,the cell morphology of S.aureus SA1 was observed using transmission electron microscopy.The effects of MmEVs on S.aureus SA1 under low pH(pH value=5)or heat stress(58℃)were investigated.The hydro-phobicity index was explored using the microbial adhesion to hydrocarbons(MATH)assay.Bacte-rial conductivity was measured.The expression levels of biofilm-related genes(SarA,icaB,FnbA,ClfB,CidA,and gyrB)were detected using quantitative real-time PCR(qPCR).The results showed that MIC of MmEVs against the biofilm of S.aureus SA1 was 1 000 mg/L,and the MBIC was 500 mg/L.Under the influence of MmEVs,the internal substances of S.aureus SA1 leaked,the biofilm boundary became blurred,and the cell wall separated.At the MBIC concentration,MmEVs significantly reduced the tolerance of S.aureus SA1 to low pH(P＜0.001)and high tem-perature(P＜0.001),decreased hydrophobicity(P＜0.001),and increased bacterial conductivity(P＜0.001).At the MBIC concentration,MmEVs significantly downregulated the gene expression of Sa rA(P＜0.001),icaB(P＜0.001),FnbA(P＜0.001),ClfB(P＜0.001),and CidA(P＜0.001)in S.aureus SA1,while no significant effect was observed on the expression of the gyrB gene.In summary,MmEVs inhibit the formation of Staphylococcus aureus SA1 biofilms by sup-pressing the gene expression of SarA,icaB,FnbA,ClfB,and CidA within the biofilm.This dis-ruption damages the biofilm's morphological structure,reduces its tolerance to low pH and high temperature,decreases hydrophobicity,and increases bacterial conductivity,thereby ultimately in-hibiting the formation of S.aureus SA1 biofilms.

Objective:To explore the application effect of family nursing based on Noddings′ caring education theory in children with bronchopneumonia, so as to provide reference for clinical nursing of children with bronchopneumonia.Methods:A randomized controlled study was conducted, 120 children with bronchopneumonia admitted to Anqing Municipal Hospital from August 2023 to March 2024 were enrolled as the research objects by convenience sampling method. According to random number table method, they were divided into the control group and the experimental group. The control group was given routine nursing, while the experimental group was given family nursing based on Noddings′ caring education theory on the basis of routine nursing. The symptoms remission (disappearance time of cough and wheezing), length of hospital stay, lesion absorption, compliance of aerosol inhalation, treatment compliance, etc in 2 groups were observed.Results:A total of 60 children with bronchopneumonia were included in the control group, including 37 males and 23 females, aged (5.75 ± 1.09) years old, and 60 cases were included in the experimental group, including 36 males and 24 females, aged (5.65 ± 1.06) years old. The disappearance time of cough and wheezing, and length of hospital stay in the experimental group were (5.98 ± 0.61), (4.31 ± 0.45), (5.50 ± 0.65) d, which were shorter than (6.21 ± 0.63), (4.52 ± 0.46), (6.38 ± 0.89) d in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t = 2.03, 2.53, 6.19, all P<0.05). The lesion absorption rate and compliance of aerosol inhalation in the experimental group were 95.00% (57/60) and 91.67% (55/60), higher than 83.33% (50/60) and 76.67% (46/60) in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.23, 5.07, both P<0.05). The scores of treatment compliance (medication according to time and dosage, moderate exercise, reasonable diet, self-care) in the experimental groups were (4.02 ± 0.41), (3.39 ± 0.37), (3.87 ± 0.48), (3.13 ± 0.37) points, higher than (3.82 ± 0.39), (3.25 ± 0.35), (3.68 ± 0.45), (2.97 ± 0.34) points in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t value were 2.13-2.74, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Family nursing based on Noddings′ caring education theory is beneficial to alleviate clinical symptoms and medical fear, improve compliance of aerosol inhalation and treatment compliance in children with bronchopneumonia.

This paper reported a case of a 25-year-old male schizophrenic patient， who obtained remission from psychotic symptoms during the treatment of olanzapine and trihexylphenidyl， was given ziprasidone treatment additionally due to the occurrence of auditory hallucination， and developed stuttering 4 days later. The stuttering disappeared 2 days following the discontinuation of therapy， and reappeared after reinstitution of ziprasidone therapy， but disappeared again after discontinuation. The dose of olanzapine was increased to 20 mg/d to ensure the stability of psychotic remission. At a follow-up visit 4 months later， the patient’s mental condition was stable and stuttering did not recur， indicating that the stuttering was induced by ziprasidone. This case suggests that the possibility of stuttering as an adverse reaction should be considered in the clinical application of ziprasidone.

A 50-year-old male patient had diarrhea due to unclean diet. According to the doctor′s advice, the patient received the first dose of montmorillonite powder 6 g orally. The next day, he developed abdominal pain, abdominal distention, and no defecation. Enema was ineffective. Physical examination showed abdominal distension, percussion drum sound, obvious abdominal tenderness, and reduced bowel sound. The patient was diagnosed with complete ileus by abdominal CT. After 5 days of symptomatic treatments such as diet prohibition, gastrointestinal decompression, and enema defecation, the patient returned to normal exhaust and defecation. After excluding other intestinal lesions through abdominal X-ray, enhanced CT, and enteroscopy, it is considered that the patient′s complete ileus was related to montmorillonite powder.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between the expression of microRNA-126 (miR-126) in peripheral blood lymphocytes with apoptosis and prognosis in patients with sepsis, and to explore its potential regulatory mechanism.Methods:Thirty patients with general infection and 20 patients with sepsis admitted to the department of intensive care unit (ICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from January to December 2019 were enrolled. Peripheral blood was taken to separate lymphocytes, and the expressions of miR-126 and caspase-3 were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). At the same time, the liver and kidney function and other laboratory indexes were measured, and the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) scores were calculated. The 28-day prognosis was observed. Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between miR-126 and caspase-3, APACHEⅡ score. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of miR-126 on prognosis; at the same time, according to the best cut-off value of miR-126 in predicting prognosis, the patients were divided into two groups, and the 28-day Kaplan-Meier survival curve was drawn.Results:The expression of miR-126 in peripheral blood lymphocytes of patients with sepsis was lower than that of patients with general infection [miR-126 mRNA (2 -ΔCt): 1.239±0.134 vs. 1.599±0.110, P < 0.01], while the expression of caspase-3 and APACHEⅡ score were significantly increased [caspase-3 mRNA (2 -ΔCt): 1.172±0.132 vs. 0.901±0.143, APACHEⅡ: 19.75±3.74 vs. 12.63±3.94, both P < 0.01]. Pearson correlation analysis showed that the expression of miR-126 was negatively correlated with the expression of caspase-3 ( r = -0.678, P < 0.001) and APACHEⅡ score ( r = -0.581, P < 0.001). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) for predicting the prognosis by miR-126 expression in peripheral blood lymphocytes was 0.823 ( P < 0.001). When the best cut-off value was 1.395, the sensitivity was 75.0%, the specificity was 71.4%, the positive predictive value was 81.1%, the negative predictive value was 63.6%, the positive likelihood ratio was 2.622, and the negative likelihood ratio 0.350. In addition, the patients were divided into high miR-126 group (miR-126 > 1.395, n = 31) and low miR-126 group (miR-126 ≤ 1.395, n = 19) according to the best cut-off value of miR-126. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the 28-day cumulative survival rate of high miR-126 group was higher than that of low miR-126 group (Log-Rank: χ 2 = 11.702, P = 0.001). Conclusion:miR-126 in peripheral blood lymphocytes of patients with sepsis may affect immune status by promoting apoptosis of lymphocytes, and its expression level can reflect the severity and prognosis of sepsis.
