Two isolates of Plasmodium jalcipanm from Hainan Province were cloned by limiting dilution method and eight clones were established. Some characteristics including drug sensitivity and antigenicity of these clones were observed. The results showed that the established clones were different from each other in chloroquine sensitivity and antigenicity. The ID50 of chloroquin3e against 6 clones from isolate Fcc-7801 varied between 60.60 and 13.08 nmol/L The ID50 of chloroquine against 2 clones from isolate Fcc-1 were 93.63 and 49.64 nmol/L, respectively. According to the indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) Teactivity of these clones with a panal of murine anti-gpl95 McAbs, 8 clones could be divided into 5-serotypes, 3 of which were consistent with the Ⅴ , Ⅵ, Ⅶ serotypes devided by J. S. McBride (1985).

BACKGROUND:How to obtain a sufficient number of cells is one of the key issues in the celltransplantation therapy, and studies have shown that stem cellproliferation can be promoted by reasonable stimulus.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate reduced glutathione effects on biological characteristics of human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells.
METHODS:The cells were divided into two groups:the control group consisted of the normal human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells, and in the experimental group, human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells were treated with 0.15 g/L reduced glutathione.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At days 5, 7, 9, cells treated with 0.15 g/L reduced glutathione showed higher absorbance values than those in the control group (P<0.05). Flow cytometry showed reduced glutathione had no effects on CD29, CD44, CD45, CD105 expression. Real-time PCR results showed reduced glutathione was capable of promoting extracellular signal-regulated kinase mRNA expression (P<0.05). Findings from this study showed that 0.15 g/L reduced glutathione can promote the proliferation of human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells.

Objective To investigate the correlation between drug resistance and β-actamase genes of multi-drug resistance Acinetobacter baumannii (MDR-AB) in neonatal intensive care unit to provide evidence for rational antibiotics administration and nosocomial infection control.Methods Twenty-six MDR-AB strains were separated and collected from clinical specimens.The minimum inhibitory concentrations of 13 antimicrobial agents were determined by agar dilution method.Genotypes of β-lactamase were detected by polymerase chain reaction.Results The resistant rates of the 26 strains to Ceftazidime,Cefoxitin,Piperacillin-tazobactam and Ciprofloxacin were 100.0%.About 80.8% to 96.2% of these strains were resistant to the other antimicrobial drugs.Among the 26 MDR-AB strains,100% (26/26) strains possessed oxa-51,77% (20/26) possessed oxa-23 gene,54% (14/26) carried arnpC gene,both oxa-23 and ampC were identified in 42% (11/26) strains,while oxa-24,oxa-58,imp-1,imp-4 and vim-2 gene were not identified.Conclusions The drug resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii is serious,oxa-23 and ampC are the major plactamase genes carried by MDR-AB in neonatal intensive care unit.

Objective:To study the effect of IL-15 eukaryotic expression plasmid on the humoral immune responses to HBV surface antigen protein vaccine.Methods:Had constructed two of IL-15 eukaryotic expression plasmides.One is the eukaryotic expression plasmid of the IL-15 whole sequence,the other is the chimeric eukaryotic expression plasmid of the IL-2 signal peptide and IL-15 mature peptide sequence(IL-2s-15).The bioactivities of the expression products of the two plasmids were identified by CTLL-2 proliferation assay.Results:After IL-15 plasmid co-immunized with HBsAg,the titer of anti-HBsIgG was much higher than that of control( P 0.05),however,the anti-HBsIgG2a/IgG1 ratio was higher than that of control.Conclusion:IL-15 expression plasmids effect differently on the immune responses induced by protein vaccine.

Objective To examine whether hantavirus Z37 envelope glycoprotein genes G1 and G2 recombinants could elicit humoral immune responses in mice. Methods We vaccinated BALB/C mice with plasmid pcDNA3.1 G1 and pcDNA3.1 G2 respectively by intramuscular and gene gun inoculation. Serum anti hantavirus antibodies were detected by IFA and neutralizing antibodies (NAb) were detected by plaque reduction neutralization test with immunoperoxidase staining. The mice given intramuscular inoculation were divided into 3 groups, each group containing 5 mice: groupⅠas control inoculated with 100 ?g pcDNA3.1 ; groupⅡ with 100 ?g pcDNA3.1 G1; group Ⅲ with 100 ?g pcDNA3.1 G2. Each mouse was immunized three times. 4 weeks after primary vaccination, 2 boosts were given at 3 week intervals. The mice given gene gun inoculation were divided into 3 groups, each group containing 3 mice: groupⅠ as control with 1.5 ?g pcDNA3.1; group Ⅱ with 1.5 ?g pcDNA3.1 G1; group Ⅲ with 1.5 ?g pcDNA3.1 G2.Each mouse was immunized two times. 4 weeks after primary vaccination, 1 boost was given. Results 1. In mice given intramuscular inoculation, serum anti hantavirus antibodies were detected 3 of 5 in group Ⅱ, 2 of 5 in group Ⅲ.IFA titers 1∶20～1∶80. NAb were detected 1 of 5 in group Ⅱ, 2 of 5 in group Ⅲ. NAb titers 1∶10～1∶20. 2.In mice given gene gun inoculation, serum anti hantavirus antibodies and NAb were detected in all experimental group mice, IFA titers 1∶20～1∶320, NAb titers≥1∶10. Conclusions Genetic immunization with HV Z37envelope glycoprotein genes G1 and G2 recombinants could elicit effective humoral immune response in mice.

Objective To investigate the molecular characteristic,the virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from pediatric patients.Methods Ninety-eight non-duplicate strains of and 49 non-duplicate strains of Methicillinsusceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) isolated from the three children's hospitals in Shanghai in 2008 were investigated.Panton-valentine leukocidin (PVL) gene was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).The genotypes of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) of the MRSA isolates were confirmed by multiplex PCR.The sequence type (ST) of each strain was determined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST),and the algorithm eBURST was used to identify groups of clonal complex (CC).The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of fourteen antibiotics for all isolates were determined by agar dilution method.Results Among 98 isolates of MRSA,the positive rate of PVL genes was 6.1％ (6/98).In contrast,the positive rate of PVL genes was 4.1％ (2/48) of the MSSA strains.Among 98 isolates of MRSA,4.1％ (4/98),23.5％ (23/98),53.0％ (52/98) and 15.3％ (15/98) of the strains harboured SCCmec types Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ,respectively. The remaining four isolates (4.1 ％) presented a unique SCCmec pattern that could not be classified to any known types by the employed typing assays.Combining the ST and SCCmec type,the predominant clones were ST59-SCCmec Ⅳ (30 strains) and ST239-SCCmec Ⅲ (23 strains),followed by ST5-SCCmecⅣ and ST1-SCCmecⅣ (8 strains for each clone),ST239-SCCmec Ⅴ (6 strains),ST88-SCCmecⅤ (5 strains),ST5 SCCmecⅡ (4 strains),ST59-SCCmec Ⅴ (3 strains),ST8-SCCmecⅣ and ST88-SCCmecⅣ (2 strains for each clone),ST22-SCCmecⅣ,ST910-SCCmecⅣ and S45-SCCmec Ⅴ (1 strain for each clone),eBURST analysis distributed the MRSA isolates into several CC.ST8 and ST239 belonged to ST8 CC,ST1 belonged to ST15 CC,ST910 belonged to ST 30 CC,ST59,ST5,ST88,ST45,ST22,ST9 and ST7 were the origin of their own CC.The results of MIC showed that the 67 strains of MRSA harboring SCCmec type Ⅳ or SCCmec type Ⅴ were more susceptible to various non-β-lactam antibiotics than 27 strains of MRSA harboring SCCmec type Ⅱ or SCCmec type Ⅲ,and no vancomycin-resistant strain was found.Conclusions In three children's hospitals in Shanghai,the PVL gene-positive rate of MRSA isolates is relatively low,SCCmec type Ⅳ and SCCmec type Ⅴ could spread among hospitals to cause a small scale epidemic and have a variety of ST.

Objective To investigate the effects of andrographolide on the expressions of Th1 cytokine [interferon (IFN)-γ] mRNA and Th2 cytokines [interleukin (ID-4, IL-10] mRNA of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and its anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) activity. Methods PBMCs from CHB patients were cultured with 10 mg/L andrographolide (experimental group) or 0.1% DMSO (control group). HepG2. 2. 15 cells were stimulated with andrographolide of different concentrations (experimental group) or adefovir (control group). The expressions of IFN-γ mRNA, IL-4 mRNA and IL-10 mRNA of PBMCs and the replication of HBV DNA in HepG2. 2. 15 cell line were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR. Results The expression of IFN-γ mRNA in PBMCs cultured with 10 mg/L andrographolide for 16 h was higher than that in control group (Z=-2. 78, P=0. 05), and the expressions of IL-4 and IL-10mRNA in experimental group were lower than control group (Z= -3. 82, P<0. 01), while the ratio of IFN-γ/IL-4 mRNA was higher than control group (Z= - 3. 82, P<0. 01). Andrographolide with different concentrations had no effect on the replication of HBV DNA in HepG2. 2.15 cells ((=11. 88, P>0.05). However, adefovir had inhibitory effect on the replication of HBV DNA (t =15. 95,P< 0. 05). Conclusion Andrographolide can regulate the expressions of IFN-γ mRNA, IL-4 mRNA and IL-10 mRNA in PBMCs from CHB patients and improve Thl/Th2 balance, while it has no effect on the replication of HBV DNA.
