Standard on classification of Traditional Chinese Medicine ancient books / 国际中医中药杂志

The standardization of classification methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) ancient books can provide a clear and reliable reference for all kinds of TCM ancient books collection units, which can also promote the sharing and utilization of TCM ancient books. We studied and investigated the classification methods of TCM ancient books in past dynasties. The standard on classification of TCM ancient books was formulated by compared with the classification table of Zhongguo Zhongyi Guji Zongmu, and referred to the classification table of Zhonghua Guji Zongmu. This standard specified three-level categories and classification principles of TCM ancient books, and mainly composed of basic categories, three-level category table, classification principles and examples, and instructions for use.

A preliminary clinical study comparing percutaneous transhepatic choledochoscopy lithotomy with laparoscopic choledocholithotomy for choledocholithiasis / 中华肝胆外科杂志

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of percutaneous transhepatic choledochoscope lithotomy (PTCSL) with laparoscopic choledocholithotomy (LD) in treatment of choledocholithiasis.Methods:Data of 132 patients with choledocholithiasis treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from July 2012 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 75 males and 57 females, with an average age of 62.7 years. For 76 patients underwent PTCSL (the PTCSL group) and 56 underwent LD (the LD group). The data of the patients the success rate of lithotomy, stone residual rate, operation time, postoperative complications and stone recurrence, chronic cholangitis, and acute cholangitis 1 month after operation were compared between the two groups.Results:The ratio of upper abdominal operation history and biliary tract infection in the PTCSL group was higher than that in the LD group, and the difference was statistically significant (both P<0.05). In the PTCSL group, the calculi were successfully removed in 64 patients in one treatment session, while residual calculi were removed through subsequent sinus choledochoscopy in 9 patients. In the remaining 3 patients, the residual calculi were removed with LD or laparotomy operations. Postoperative complications occurred in 14 patients (19.2%, 14/73). In the LD group, the calculi were successfully removed in one session in 46 patients while in 8 patients the residual calculi were removed by choledochoscopy (1 patient still had residual calculi after choledochoscopy). The remaining 2 patients underwent open surgery due to anatomical difficulties. Postoperative complications occurred in 11 patients (20.4%, 11/54). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the one-off stone removal rate, postoperative stone residual rate, final stone removal rate and postoperative complication rate (all P>0.05). The operation time of the PTCSL group was (156±60) min, which was significantly shorter than the LD group (203±59) min ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the incidence of postoperative chronic cholangitis and recurrence rate of calculi (both P>0.05). The incidence of acute cholangitis in the PTSCL group was significantly higher than that in the LD group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:PTCSL was as safe and effective as LD, with fewer complications and faster recovery. It is especially suitable for patients with previous upper abdominal surgery, recurrence of calculi and repeated biliary tract infection.

Bibliographic Study on Symptomatic Figures of Lip and Tongue (Chunshe Zhenghou Tu) / 国际中医中药杂志

For all the time the book Symptomatic Figures of Lip and Tongue(Chunshe Zhenghou Tu)was described as written by Li Jun of Qing dynasty. We made studies on historical records on Li Jun and the features and contents of this book, and proved that Symptomatic Figures of Lip and Tongue was not written by him, but a Chinese medical book written by Japanese.

Gene gyrA Mutation in Nalidixic acid-resistant Salmonella paratyphi A / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To explore the gene gyrA mutation in nalidixic acid-resistant Salmonella paratyphi A(SPA) in Shaoxing area.METHODS Fifty-two strains of SPA gene were assessed by amplification and purification and the PCR products were detected by two directional sequencing methods.The sequences of DNA gyrase A were compared and analyzed with the OMIGA2.0 software,and the gene gyrA mutation was identified.RESULTS The mutation in nalidixic acid-resistant SPA was discovered in No.83 or No.87 animo acid site of gyrA quinolones resistant determinate region(QRDR),and the mutation of 51 strains occurred in No.83 site,1 strain occurred in No.87 site.The simultaneous mutation of two sites was not discovered,No mutations were found in other sites of gyrA QRDR.CONCLUSIONS No.83 site mutations of gene gyrA has a direct relation to nalidixic acid-resistant SPA.No.87 site mutation of gene gyrA might also cause nalidixic acid-resistantce.The nalidixic acid-resistant SPA is mainly mutated in No.83 site by TCC→TTC(Ser→Phe) in Shaoxing area.

Distribution and Resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa:Analysis of 244 Strains / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated during Jan-Dec 2006.METHODS The clinically isolated P.aeruginosa strains were collected cultured and identified by paper diffusing method or trace dilution method(MIC),the results were evaluated according to the relevant documents of NCCLS of USA.RESULTS The in vitro susceptibility test of 244 P.aeruginosa isolates to 16 kinds of antibacterials indicated the resistance rate to SMZ was the highest(98.8%);then to minocycline,tetracycline and ticarcillin/clavulanicacid(70.1%,58.6% and 54.5% respectively).CONCLUSIONS To strengthen the continuous survezillance of drug resistance of P.aeruginosa,to sum up the resistance rules of main pathogens of departments in hospital and to reduce of production of resistant bacterica have the important significance.

Drug Resistance of Staphylococcus aureus: Current Situation and Clinically Therapeutic Countermeasures / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To analyze the current situation of the hospital.and the community-acquired infections due to Staphylococcus aureus(SAU) and provide the reference for clinical reasonable use of drugs.METHODS The clinically isolated S.aureus strains during 2004-2006 were collected,cultured and identified.Their susceptibilily to 16 kinds of antibacterials was detected by K-B or MIC and WHONET5 software was used to analyze the result.RESULTS From 440 S.aureus strains,the meticillin-resisstant S.aureus(MRSA) was 260 accounting for 59.1%;the meticillin-sensitive S.aureus(MSSA) was 180 accounting for 40.9%.The resistant rate of SAU to penicillin G was the highest(85.5%),that to vancomscin was 0.CONCLUSIONS MSSA still keeps fairly good sensibility to most antibacterial medicine,but MRSA shows the multidrug resistance,except to vancomycin.For this studying the resistance mechcnism of Staphylococcus and continuously detecting the emergence of vancomycin-intermediat and vancomycin-resistante S.aureus have a significant clinicil importance.

Resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in ICU / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To understand the antibiotic resistance of Pseudemonas aeruginosa isolated from ICU and give advices to clinicians.METHODS The antibiotic susceptibility of P.aeruginosa isolated from ICU to 12 kinds of antibiotics were tested by disc diffusion method.RESULTS The antibiotic susceptibility of 472 P.aeruginosa strains to imipenem,piperacillin/sulbactam,piperacillin,amikacin,ceftazidime,tobramycin,cefepime,ciprofloxacin,ceftriaxone,gentimicin,aztreonam and cefotaxime were 82.2%,74.94%,69.92%,64.87%,59.95%,52.93%,49.88%,49.65%,44.50%,41.92%,38.17%,and 35.60%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS P.aeruginosa isolated from ICU of our hospital is suscepitable to imipenem,piperacillin/sulbactam,piperacillin,amikacin and the cephalosporins,but show lower susceptibility to other antibiotics.
