		                        			Objective To investigate the impact of overwork on vascular endothelial barrier function in mice.Methods Thirty KM mice were randomized equally into control,overwork for 2 weeks(W2)group and 4 weeks(W4)group.In the latter two groups,the mice were subjected to continuous standing in water for 8 h followed by restraint for 3 h to simulate overwork on a daily basis for 2 and 4 weeks.After modeling,4 mice from each group were intraperitoneally injected with Evans blue dye to assess vascular permeability.In the other 6 mice,serum IL-1β levels were measured using ELISA,and arterial tissues were collected for histological examination and detection of mRNA expressions of occludin,claudin-5,ZO-1,JAM-A and VE-cadherin;immunofluorescence assay was used to detect the protein expressions of claudin-5,ZO-1,VE-cadherin,and Syndecan-1.Results The mice in W2 and W4 groups exhibited slower weight gain,hair loss,reduced activity,and significantly increased serum IL-1β levels.Vascular permeability was significantly increased in W4 group.In W2 group,the endothelial cells were swollen and dissociated,and the intima was rough and irregular;arterial intimal rupture was observed in W4 group.The mRNA expressions of occludin,claudin-5,ZO-1 and JAM-A in the arterial tissues were significantly increased in W2 group but decreased in W4 group,while VE-cadherin mRNA expression were reduced in both groups(P<0.05).The protein expressions of claudin-5,ZO-1,VE-cadherin,and Syndecan-1 were all significantly reduced in W4 group.Conclusion Prolonged overwork can cause damage of the intercellular junction complexes in arterial endothelial cells and the endothelial glycocalyx to result in impaired barrier function and increased vascular permeability in mice.

		                        			Objective To investigate the effects of Osteoking on hyperglycemia and regulating gut microbiota in db/db mice.Methods Wildtype mice were used as the control group,and db/db mice were randomly divided into model and Osteoking groups.After intragastric administration for 12 weeks,fasting blood glucose and serum glycosylated hemoglobin and insulin levels were measured,changes in intestinal microflora were determined,and functional pathways related to intestinal microflora in mice were predicted by 16S rDNA sequencing.Results Compared with the model group,Osteoking decreased fasting blood glucose(P<0.01),serum glycosylated hemoglobin(P<0.01),and the insulin resistance index(P<0.01),and increased insulin content(P<0.01)in db/db mice.Osteoking increased the abundance of beneficial intestinal microflora and decreased the abundance of harmful bacteria.Moreover,the abundance of Marvinbryantia was increased.Osteoking alleviated the decrease in metabolism of D-arginine and D-ornithine,sphingolipid,and galactose metabolism(P<0.05)and inhibited lysine degradation,the sulfur relay system,and propanoate metabolism(P<0.05).Conclusions Osteoking has hypoglycemic properties and improves the intestinal microflora imbalance in db/db mice.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the relationship of pks gene islands with virulence genes, capsular serotypes and biofilm formation in Klebsiella pneumoniae ( Kp). Methods:A total of 113 Kp clinical isolates were collected in the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University and divided into two groups based on the presence of pks gene islands: pks+ and pks- groups. The hypermucoviscous (HM) phenotype was detected by string test. Five virulence genes ( peg-344, rmpA, rmpA2, iucA, iroB) and six common capsular serotypes (K1, K2, K5, K20, K54, K57) were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The biofilm formation ability was measured by crystal violet staining. Results:Among the 113 Kp isolates, 46 were pks+ strains and 67 were pks- strains. The detection rate of HM phenotype was higher in the pks+ group than in the pks- group [87.0% (40/46) vs 43.3% (29/67)]. The detection rates of virulence genes ( peg-344, rmpA, rmpA2, iucA, iroB) and K1 serotype in the pks+ group were also higher than those in the pks- group ( P<0.05). The biofilm formation ability of the pks+ strains was higher than the pks- strains ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Kp strains carrying pks gene islands were likely to display a HM phenotype and mainly belonged to the K1 serotype. Most of the pks+Kp strains carried the virulence genes of peg-344, rmpA, rmpA2, iucA and iroB, and had a greater ability to form biofilms.

		                        			Objective:To provide a promising and optimal laboratory susceptibility-testing method for the clinical usage of antibiotic (polymyxin), four susceptibility-testing methods were performed and the broth microdilution (BMD) was chosen as the gold standard.Methods:A total number of eighty-eight nonduplicate clinical Enterobacteriaceae specimes were collected from January to December of 2019 in the First Affiliated Hospital, Fujian Medical University. Among the clinical specimens, of which six strains were positive for mcr-1. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of polymyxin of the clinical specimens were examined by the following methods: (1) broth microdilution, (2) colistin broth disk elution, (3) Vitek-2?, (4)BD PhoenixTM,(5)commercial broth microdilution. With BMD as reference, essential agreement (EA), categorical agreement(CA), very major error(VME) and major error (ME) of polymyxins for different methods were analyzed. The Kappa-consistency testing, paired Chi-square testing and the Spearman-rank correlation testing were used to analyze the consistency between the four antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods and the gold standard.Results:Taking broth microdilution as reference, the EA of colistin broth disk elution, Vitek-2?, BD PhoenixTM, commercial broth microdilution were 94.32% (83/88), 92.05% (81/88), 90.90% (80/88), and 96.59%(85/88), respectively. The CA of all the four methods were 100% (88/88). No VME and ME were recorded for four methods. Moreover, the consistency between four susceptibility testing methods and the gold standard is acceptable (Kappa values=1, P<0.001, McNemar test P=1 and r>0.5, P<0.05). Conclusions:In the present work, four susceptibility testing methods all met the standards recommended jointly by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute and European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing, of which the performance of the commercial broth microdilution and CBDE fared relatively well. Thus, these four methods could be routinely used in clinical microbiology laboratory of our hospital for colistin and polymyxin B susceptibility testing.

		                        			Objective    To provide recommendations for the management of intensive care unit patients without novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods    We set up a focus group urgently and identified five key clinical issues through discussion. Total 23 databases or websites including PubMed, National Guideline Clearing-House, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and so on were searched from construction of the library until February 28, 2020. After group discussion and collecting information, we used GRADE system to classify the evidence and give recommendations. Then we apply the recommendations to manage pediatric intensive care unit in the department of  critical care medicine in our hospital. Results    We searched 13 321 articles and finally identified 21 liteteratures. We discussed twice, and five recommendations were proposed: (1) Patients should wear medical surgical masks; (2) Family members are not allowed to visit the ward and video visitation are used; (3) It doesn’t need to increase the frequency of environmental disinfection; (4) We should provide proper health education about the disease to non-medical staff (workers, cleaners); (5) Medical staff do not need wear protective clothing. We used these recommendations in intensive care unit management for 35 days and there was no novel coronavirus infection in patients, medical staff or non-medical staff. Conclusion    The use of evidence-based medicine for emergency recommendation is helpful for the scientific and efficient management of wards, and is also suitable for the management of general intensive care units in emergent public health events.
