RESUMEN
Objective To explore the in vitro and in vivo antimicrobial activity of antipsychotic agent pimozide against Staphylococcus aureus(S.aureu).Methods The minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC)and minimum bactericidal concentration(MBC)of pimozide were determined by micro-dilution assay.Biofilm was cultured in 96-well cell culture plate,and the anti-biofilm activity of pimozide was detected by turbidimetry.The effect of pimozide on biofilm was further observed through laser confocal microscopy and SYTO9/PI staining.Combined antimicrobial effect of pimozide and other antimicrobial agents was detected by chessboard dilution method,and cytotoxicity of pimozide was detected by CCK-8 assay kit.A model of skin abscess was constructed,in vivo antimicrobial activity and toxicity of pimozide was tested.Results Pimozide showed significant dose-dependent antimicrobial activity against S.aureu,with a MIC of 8-16 μg/mL.It could significantly inhibit the formation of S.aureu biofilm and disperse the formed biofilm.The combination of pimozide and doxycycline has a synergistic antimicrobial effect in vitro,with a synergistic antimicrobial index of 0.5.It can significantly reduce the bacterial load in mouse abscess tissue in vivo,and reduce the live bacterial count from(8.25±0.13)lgarithmic value of CFU/abscess to(3.31± 0.81)logarithmic value of CFU/abscess(q=3.74,P＜0.05).The cytotoxicity of pimozide was extremely low,with a half inhibitory concentration of 64 μg/mL on cells.Conclusion Pimozide exhibits significant antimicrobial activity in vitro and in vivo with extremely low toxicity,thus is promising for the treatment of S.aureu-related local infection in psychiatric patients.
RESUMEN
In order to improve the management level of medicine list of medical institutions in China ，and help medical institutions build a medicine list of medical institutions with reasonable drug use structure ，standardized adjustment procedures ， convenient operation and application and scientific evaluation methods ，so as to meet the needs of clinical rational drug use to the greatest extent ，with the support of the Pharmaceutical Care Professional Committee of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association ， China-Japan Friendship Hospital and the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China （Anhui Provincial Hospital ）jointly initiate and complete Guideline for the Evaluation of Medicine List in Chinese Medical Institutions jointly with a number of medical institutions. In strict accordance with the methodological requirements of World Health Organization standard guidelines ，based on the Delphi method ，the guideline formulation working group has constructed the quality evaluation index system and quantitative scoring table of medicine list management in medical institutions from the 5 dimensions of organization and management ，structure，adjustment，application and e valuation of the list. It is used to help medical institutions evaluate the quality of their medicine list management ，so asto play a positive role in the fine management of medicine list in medical institutions.

· AIM: To discuss the cause and management of complications during the manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS).combined with intraocular lens implant (MSICS-IOL) were done in 160 patietns with cataract. In this paper, we reviewed the clinical data of the intraoperative complications.injury, posterior capsule rupture, iris prolapse and hyphema, were mainly caused by inexpert skill and lacking of experience.techniques, careful operation could decrease the incidence of complications during MSICS operation. By proper management, the intraoperative complications could be solved satisfactorily.
RESUMEN
Objective To observe biological character iistcs of cultivated cornea limbal epithelial cells of rabbit.Methods Cultivated cornea limbal epithelial cells with tissue inoculation were observed by inverted microscope every two days; ultrastructure of cell was observated by electron microscope; Proliferative ability of cell was examined by flow cytometry; the cell growth curve was examined by monotetrazolium(MTT) colorimetry.Results Cultivated limbal cornea epithelial cells formed monolayer at six day,the cultivated conea limbal epithelial cells had high metabolism and proliferative ability, growth of cornea limbal epithelial cells reached climax after 4 days by passage culture. Conclusion Cultivated limbal epithelial cells during the first and second growth generation can keep cornea epitheliam property and high proliferative ability.
RESUMEN
AIM: This study was aimed to assess the effect of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) combined with fibronectin on reparative dentinogenesis and odontoblast differentiation, investigate the possible mechanism underlying traumatized pulp repair, which would facilitate the choosing of ideal pulp capping agents. METHODS: 192 teeth from 16 adult cats were used. Class V cavties were prepared on the facial surface. The pulps of cats were exposed mechanically and then capped directly with MTA, MTA combined with fibronectin, calcium hydroxide, fibronectin and starch as control. The pulpal tissue reactions were assessed by light microscopy at healing interval of 1 and 4 weeks.RESULTS: 1 week after pulp capping, no reparative dentin formation was observed in each group. 4 weeks after pulp capping, the dental pulps capped with MTA/fibronectin showed no or slight cellular inflammatory responses and odontoblast differentiation with tublar dentin bridge on the exposed sites. In MTA group, the dental pulps showed slight to moderate cellular inflammatory responses with osteodentin formation. In calcium hydroxide group, the pulps showed moderate to severe inflammatory responses with calcified matrix. In fibronectin and starch group, no dentin bridge formation was observed, the pulps showed severe cellular inflammatory responses.CONCLUSION: (1) MTA combined with fibronectin induced to form complete and tublar dentin bridge. In MTA group, most of the formed dentin bridge was irregular and osteodentin. (2) MTA combined with fibronectin is a bioactive pulp-capping agent and has a great worth in vital pulp therapy.
RESUMEN
The present paper is a morphological description of the chromosomes of the mouse, Mus musculus, based on the observations of the metaphase chromosomes of both bone marrow cells and spermatogonial cells. Chromosome morphology is found to be essentially the same as those described by the previous investigators. The systematic measurements of the chromosomes have also been presented.
