Objective To understand the effect of circumcision in reducing high-risk human papilloma virus (HPV) infection in male adults. Methods One hundred and twenty-eight married adults with phimosis who underwent circumcision enrolled in the case group and high-risk HPV of urethral discharge specimens were detected before and 2 years after operation. A total of 128 cases of phimosis without circumcision were recruited in the control group. High-risk HPV infection rates were compared between the two groups. Results The highrisk HPV infection rates in the two groups were comparable at baseline. In the circumcision group, high-risk HPV infection rate was 27. 3% preoperative and it significantly decreased to 12.5% two years after operation( x2 =8. 839 ,P =0. 005). In the control group,high risk HPV infection rate was 28. 1% at baseline and it was 25.0%two years later, with no significant difference (x2 =0.320,P = 0.671).Conclusion Circumcision can significantly reduce high-risk HPV infection. Promoting circumcision actively in our country may have an important role in preventing high-risk HPV infection.

To use Agrobacterium rhizogenes-induced hairy roots to create new germplasm of Dianthus caryophyllus, we transformed D. caryophyllus with A. rhizogenes by leaf disc for plant regeneration from hairy roots. The white hairy roots could be induced from the basal surface of leaf explants of D. caryophyllus 12 days after inoculation with A. rhizogenes ATCC15834. The percentage of the rooting leaf explants was about 90% 21 days after inoculation. The hairy roots could grow rapidly and autonomously in liquid or solid phytohormone-free MS medium. The transformation was confirmed by PCR amplification of rol gene of Ri plasmid and silica gel thin-layer chromatography of opines from D. caryophyllus hairy roots. Hairy roots could form light green callus after cultured on MS+6-BA 1.0-3.0 mg/L + NAA 0.1-0.2 mg/L for 15 days. The optimum medium for adventitious shoots formation was MS + 6-BA 2.0 mg/L + NAA 0.02 mg/L, where the rate of adventitious shoot induction was 100% after cultured for 6 weeks. The mean number of adventitious shoot per callus was 30-40. The adventitious shoots can form roots when cultured on phytohormone-free 1/2 MS or 1/2 MS +0.5 mg/L NAA for 10 days. When the rooted plantlets transplanted in the substrate mixed with perlite sand and peat (volume ratio of 1:2), the survival rate was above 95%.

Pancreatic cancer is a rapidly progressive and highly malignancy of the digestive system. In recent years, the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer has been in a slow stage of development, and the 5-year survival rate of patients remains very low. The main objective of translational medicine is to remove the barriers between basic medical research and clinical medical applications, to achieve practical integration between laboratory and clinic, and to accelerate the translation of the results obtained from basic research into clinical diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of diseases, thus promoting the development of life sciences. With the rapid development of the concept and technology of translational medicine, its application in the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer can bring new hope for effectively improving the overall prognosis of patients. The authors comprehensively analyzed the latest research progress of translational medicine in the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer in order to improve the early diagnosis and long-term survival of pancreatic cancer patient.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the bacterial resistance of clinical isolates from pediatric hospital for the guidance of rational use of antibiotics.METHODS Disc diffusion test(Kirby-Bauer method) was used to study the antimicrobial resistance(fastidious bacteria were detected by E test).WHONET5 was applied for analysis.(RESULTS) In the period of study from 2002 to 2003,2 303 strains which were the first isolated from each patient were collected.Of 2 303 clinical isolates,Gram positive organisms accounted for 29.7%,Gram negative ones for 70.3%.Escherichia coli,Klebsiella spp,Staphylococcus aureus,coagulase-negative staphylococci and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the most common strains among the isolates.Meticillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA) and meticillin-resistant coagulase(-negative) staphylococci(MRCNS) accounted for 9.7% and 67.6% of S.aureus and coagulase-negative(staphylococci),respectively.Resistant rates of MRSA and MRCNS were higher than that of meticillin-susceptible S.aureus(MSSA) and meticillin-susceptible coagulase-negative staphylococci(MSCNS) to antimicrobial agents commonly used in clinic.No vancomycin resistant strains of staphylococci were found. 4.1% of Enterococcus spp were vancomycin resistant strains.Resistant rate of Streptococcus pneumoniae was 11.9% to penicillin. Most of isolates of Enterobacteriaceae were susceptible to imipenem.The incidences of E.coli and Klebsiella spp producing extended spectrum beta-lactamases(ESBLs) isolates were 49.7% and 63.1%,respectively.The resistance rates of(ESBLs) producing strains to antimicrobial agents(except carbapenems) were higher than those of ESBLs nonproducing ones.CONCLUSIONS Bacterial resistance is still or even a more serious clinical problem than before.The(surveillance) of antimicrobial susceptibility in pediatric hospital is of great significance.It is also very important to promote the rational use of antimicrobial agents so that resistance is minimized and take effective strategy for the control of the problem.
