RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo explore the possible peripheral analgesic mechanism of electroacupuncture （EA） at promimal and distal acupoints in treatment of myofascial pain syndrome （MPS）. MethodsTwenty-four SD rats were randomly divided into blank group， model group， proximal group， and distal group， with six rats in each group. MPS model was prepared by “strike combined with centrifugal exercise” in all groups except for the blank group. After modeling， the rats in the proximal group received EA at the local myofascial trigger points （MTrPs）， namely the Ashi points， with dilatational waves of frequency of 2/100 HZ and voltage of 2-4 V， current intensity depending on a slight trembling of the left lower limbs， once a day， 15min each time，for 14 days. The rats in the distal group received EA at “Yanglingquan” （GB 34） and “Yinlingquan” （SP 9）， with the same operations as the proximal group. The rats in the blank group and the model group were only grasped and hedged， without other interventions. After intervention， the paw withdrawl mechanical threshold （PWMT） was measured， and variability between the left and right hind paws was calculated. Musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging and electromyography monitoring were performed on the left lower extremity vastus medialis. The morphological changes of vastus medialis muscle of the left lower extremity were observed by HE staining. The positive expression of substance P （SP）， calcitonin gene-related peptide （CGRP）， CD68 and CD206 in muscle tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry. Abdominal aortic serum interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-10 （IL-10）， and interleukin-8 （interleukin-8） were detected by ELISA. ResultsCompared to those in the blank group， the fibers of the vastus medial muscle of the rats in the model group were broken and distorted with thickness in variation， and the myofascia was broken， with fibrillation potential， enlarged muscle cells， inward moved nucleus， and widened muscle space； the variability of PWMT between the left and right hind paws significantly increased， as well as the levels of SP， CGRP， CD68， and CD206 in the vastus medialis muscle （P＜0.01）， and the serum IL-8 and TNF-αlevels were significantly elevated （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared to those in the model group， the muscle fibers in the proximal and distal group were complete in shape and arranged in an orderly manner， with continued non-broken myofascia， regular shape of muscle cells， and significantly reduced level of IL-8 （P＜0.01）； the amplitude and frequency of spontaneous discharge in the proximal group significantly decreased， as well as the variability of PWMT between the left and right hind paws， and the levels of SP， CGRP， and CD68 in the vastus medialis muscle， while the CD206 level increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01 ）； there was complex discharges in the distal group， with significantly decreased level of CD68 in the vastus medialis muscle and increased level of CD206 （P＜0.01）. Compared to the proximal group， the level of IL-8 in the distal group was significantly higher （P＜0.05）. ConclusionsEA at proximal acupoints can significantly improve the pain threshold and local muscle tissue morpho-logy in rats， and its mechanism may be related to reducing the levels of pain-causing substances and related inflammatory factors and promoting the polarization of macrophages. The analgesic effect of EA at distal acupoints is not obvious， and the mechanism is still unclear.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the susceptibility profile of clinical isolates in Zhujiang Hospital in 2015.Methods Susceptibility test was carried out using Kirby-Bauer method or automated systems.Results A total of 4 229 clinical isolates were isolated from January to December 2015,including 2 688 (63.6％) gram negative and 1 541 (36.4％) gram positive bacteria.Methicillin-resistant S.aureus (MRSA) and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (MRCNS) accounted for 47.2％ and 76.4％,respectively.The methicillin-resistant strains have much higher resistance rates to beta-lactams and other antimicrobial agents than methicillin-susceptible strains.Majority (94.0％) of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,and 83.1％ MRCNS strains were susceptible to rifampin.No staphylococcal isolates were found resistant to vancomycin,teicoplanin or linezolid.E.faecalis strains showed much lower resistance rate to most of the drugs tested (except chloramphenicol) than E.faecium.No enterococcal isolates were found resistant to vancomycin or teicoplanin.ESBLs were produced in 52.6％ of E.coli and 39.7％ of Klebsiella (K.pneumoniae and K.oxytoca) strains.ESBLs-producing Enterobacteriaceae strains had higher resistance rates to common antimicrobial agents than non-ESBLs-producing strain.Enterobacteriaceae isolates were highly susceptible to carbapenems,(＜4％ resistant).Acinetobacter spp.strains showed high resistance to imipenem (69.2％ resistant) and meropenem (71.2％ resistant).Conclusions The antibiotic resistance is still increasing in this hospital.The emerging multi-drug or pan-drug resistant strains pose a serious threat to clinical practice and implies the importance of strengthening infection control.
RESUMEN
Objective To analyze the causes of blood deficiency in the process of voluntary blood donation and to adopt targeted control measures,so as to effectively reduce blood scrapping and to better ensure theclinical blood use of the hospital.Methods The data of blood collection from January 2014 to December 2016 and the various reasons of insufficient blood collection were summarized;and according to these data as the object of study,the targeted measures were taken to observe the effect.Results According to the the reasons for the lack of blood collection,the targeted measures,such as organizing staff training,strengthening communication with blood donors and so on,were taken.After the implementation of these measures,the phenomenon of insufficient blood collection from 2014 to 2016 showed declining trend,withthe proportion decreased from 0.29％ to 0.20％.Conclusion To strengthen the staff staining in order to improve them vein collection technology,to publicize further,to communicate with blood donors effectively and improve the blood donation services,to ease the feelings of blood donors and to create a warm,harmonious and orderly blood donation atmosphere;all of these should be helpful for reducing the occurrence of insufficient blood collection.
