OBJECTIVE To investigate macrolide resistance and main molecular mechanisms in Mycoplasma pneumoniae. METHODS Thirty two throat swabs from children infected with M. pneumoniae were cultured by modified Hayflick medium. Antibiotic susceptibility test was used to screen the macrolide-resistant M. pneumoniae. The 23S rRNA gene sequences of the strains were determined with polymerase chain reaction and sequencing. RESULTS Nineteen strains were isolated from 32 throat swabs successfully.Fifteen strains were resistant to macrolide antibiotics according to the results of antibiotic susceptibility test. Once the strain was resistant to one of macrolide antibiotics,it would be resistant to the others. Sequencing results of the sensitive strains and the standard strain FH were completely same. Fifteen resistant strains presented A2063G point mutation in 23 SrRNA region Ⅴ, in which 2 examples showed the coexistence of the sensitive strain and the resistant strain. CONCLUSIONS Macrolide-resistant M. pneumoniae is common and serious at present. The antibiotic resistant isolate carries point mutations of the 23S rRNA region Ⅴ.

Objective To explore the shielding effects of 1-4 layers of lead aprons (LPs) and body shielding devices (BSDs) against stray radiation (SR) outside the electron beam field of 6-15 MeV.Methods JR-115B LiF TLDs were used to measure the stray radiation doses (SRDs) to the patient undergoing treatment,before and after being shielding,for different distances,different energies,different applicators,variable layers of LPs,and different thickness of body shielding devices (BSDs),respectively,along long calculating and comparing the shielding ratios of LPs and BSDs against SR.Results When the applicator (10 cm × 10 cm) is unchanged,the shielding ratio increased with the increased distance from measuring point (r =0.717,P < 0.05) and decreased with the increased electron energy (r =-0.678,P < 0.05);when the energy was constant,there was no correlation between the shielding ratio and the size of applicator (P > 0.05);For lower energy electron beam of 6 and 9 MeV,the shielding ratio for 1 mm Pb-BSD was slightly higher than that for 2 layers of LA (t =2.519,2 662,P < 0.05),ranging from 81.5% to 95.3% and 55.4% to 84.6%,respectively.For 12 and 15 MeV higher energy electron beam,the shielding ratio for 2 mm Pb-BSD was slightly higher than that for 4 layers of LA (t=3.768,7.934,P<0.05),ranging from 64.6% to 93.4% and 51.1% to 92.4%,respectively.Conclusions LAs or BSDs are availavle for effectively reducing the doses from stray radiation,and may help reduce the secondary risks from stray radiation.BSDs have more obvious advantages than LPs with regard to shielding effect.
