1.Detection and Assay of Beta-lactamase and Drug Resistance of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia
Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 2006;0(08):-
OBJECTIVE To study the drug resistance of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in order to direct clinical drug application.METHODS The S.maltophilia was identified and its sensitivity was analyzed with VITEK2-AMS.The extended-spectrum beta-lactamases(ESBLs) and metallo ?-lactamase(MBL) were screened by double-disk synergy test and double-disk confirmatory test.RESULTS The resistance rate of S.maltophilia to cefoperazone-sulbactam,levofloxacin and SMZ-TMP was the lowest,accounted for 12.50%,13.64% and 14.77%,respectively.The ESBLs positive rate was 69.32%,the MBL positive rate was 69.32%.CONCLUSIONS The multidrug resistance of S.maltophilia is serious and full dose use of two or more antibacterials is recommended.

Objective In this study,we attempted to investigate whether Electroacupuncture(EA)could promote the autophagy function in macrophages of inflammatory skin tissues by activating CB2 receptor,thus relieving inflammatory pain induced by CFA in mice,and whether activation of CB2 receptor in NR8383 macrophages cell line can simulate the effect of EA on the autophagy function and mitochondrial damage.Methods Inflammatory pain model was induced by CFA injection into the planta the hind paw of wildtype and CB2 knockout mice.EA or sham EA was applied on the left Huantiao(GB30)and Yanglingquan(GB34)sites.Thermal hyperalgesia was determined with the Hargreaves test.Mechanical sensitivity was assessed with von Frey filaments.NR8383 microphage cell line was used to study the effect of CB2 activation on macrophage function induced by CFA.The expression level of autophagy protein LC3 and p62 in wildtype and CB2 knockout mice skin tissue and NR8383 cell line were determined by Western blot.And flow cytometry analysis was applied to detect damaged mitochondria and mitochondrial superoxide.Results CFA significantly reduced the thermal and mechanical pain threshold in both wildtype and CB2 knockout mice,comparing with the vehicle control groups(P<0.01).EA significantly inhibited thermal and mechanical hyperpathia induced by CFA in wildtype mice(P<0.05),but had no effect on CB2 knockout mice with CFA(P>0.05).CFA significantly increased the expression of p62 protein and decreased LC3-II/I ratio,which was inversed by EA in wildtype mice but wasn't affected by EA in CB2 knockout mice.CFA increased the expression of p62 protein and decreased LC3-II/I ratio in NR8383 cell line,which were inversed by CB2 agonist AM1241.CFA increased mitochondria damage,which were then attenuated by CB2 agonist AM1241.Conclusion The analgesic effect of EA on inflammatory pain induced by CFA was mediated by activation of CB2 receptor,which promoted the autophagy function and the clearance of damaged mitochondria in macrophage.
