Objective To study the mutations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa oprD gene in Imipenem-resistant clinical isolates. Methods Random amplified polymorphic DNA typing(RAPD) was carried out to analyse the homology in 10 Imipenem-resistant clinical isolates. Pseudomonas aeruginosa oprD gene in 10 Imipenem-resistant clinical isolates were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and sequenced. Results Ten Imipenem-resistant clinical isolates were divided into four different clones which can not produce metallo ?-lactamase. As compared with sequence X63152, oprD gene of Pseudomonas aeruginosa varied greatly. The aberration rates exceed 50%. There were multiple point mutations within 276~387 bp coding region of 30, 11, 9, 20, 31 strains. Due to the mutations of 308 bp G→C and 344 bp C→A, threonine and diaminocaproic acid were replaced by serine and threonine respectively. The DNA deletion of 393~412 bp in oprD gene contributes to the frame shift mutation in the following nucleotide sequence. The deletion of 264~273 bp in the coding region of oprD gene in 13 and 21 clone strains leads to frame shift mutations forming terminal codon TAA(319~321 bp).Base substitutions and multiple point mutations were obvious in the coding regions of 1 and 22 clone strains. Their aberration rates were 54.03% and 74.89% respectively. Conclusions The mutations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa oprD gene in Imipenem-resistant clinical isolates are various.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the p33 ING1b protein expression and differentiated degree in human gastric carcinoma. Methods p33 ING1b protein expression was detected by S-P immunohistochemical method in gastric carcinoma and normal gastric mucous tissues. Results The positive rates of p33 ING1b protein expression were 75% (15/20) in well-differentiated, 55% (11/20) in moderate-differentiated and 15% (3/20) in poor-differentiated gastric carcinoma, respectively. The positive rate of p33 ING1b protein expression in gastric carcinoma was significantly lower than that in normal gastric mucosa (100%, 60/60) (P

OBJECTIVE To study the antimicrobial susceptibility and molecular epidemiology of imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from patients in burn wards in a hospital of Guangzhou. METHODS A total of 48 imipenem-resistant isolates were collected,antimicrobial susceptibility was tested by KirbyBauer disk diffusion method.Random amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD) typing was carried out to analyze the homology. RESULTS All isolates were multiresistant,the orders of sensitivity rates of antibiotics were CIP,TOB,AMK,GEN,and FEP.Forty eight strains were classified into types A,B,C,and D based on RAPD pattern,types A and B were the most epidemic clones. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of imipenemresistant P.aeruginosa in burn wards of the hospital is due to nosocomial infection.The prevalent strains are multiresistant.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mechanism of Chinese herbal recipe Weichang'an (WCA) in inducing cell apoptosis of human gastric cancer grafted onto nude mice. METHODS: The high performance liquid chromatography was used for monitoring the stability of WCA. A human gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 grafted in nude mouse was used as the animal model. The mice were divided into untreated group and two experimental groups. Animals in the two experimental groups received either WCA over a 34-day period or 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) over a 6-day period starting at the 8th day after grafting. Animals in the untreated group received normal saline on an identical schedule. Animals were killed 41 days after being grafted. To assess the effect of the treatment on tumor, the tumor weight was determined by the electron balance immediately after the animals were killed. SP immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in grafts. Apoptotic indices (AI) of the tumor cells were examined by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate fluorescence nick end labeling (TUNEL) method. SP method was also used to detect the expressions of cleaved caspase-3, caspase-8 and caspase-9. SYBR green dye I real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (real-time quantitative [corrected] PCR) was used to assess the related gene alterations in mRNA level. The expressions of phospho-Stat3 (Tyr705) and bcl-2 proteins were detected by using SP method. RESULTS: Compared with the untreated group, tumor growth was significantly inhibited by treatment of WCA or 5-FU (P<0.01, respectively). The tumor inhibition rate in the WCA-treated group was 48.70% and that in the 5-FU-treated group was 60.10%. The average labeling index (LI) for PCNA in the WCA-treated group and 5-FU-treated group was significantly decreased as compared with that in the untreated group, respectively. The AI of human gastric cancer grafted in the nude mice detected by using TUNEL method was significantly increased to (9.72+/-4.51)% in the WCA-treated group, while it was (2.45+/-1.37)% in the untreated group. 5-FU-treated group was also found a significantly increased AI compared with the untreated group. The expressions of cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-9 in the WCA-treated group and 5-FU-treated group were significantly increased as compared with those in the untreated group. But caspase-8 showed no significant alteration either in the WCA-treated group or in the 5-FU-treated group. The expression levels of Stat3 (2(-)delta delta C(T))=0.16) and bcl-2 (2(-)delta delta C(T))=0.10) detected by using real-time quantitative [corrected] PCR were lower in the WCA-treated group than those in the untreated group. The expressions of phospho-Stat3 (Tyr705) and bcl-2 in the WCA-treated group were significantly decreased as compared with those in the untreated group. CONCLUSIONS: Chinese herbal recipe WCA can inhibit gastric cancer cell SGC-7901 growth in vivo, induce gastric cancer cell apoptosis and suppress the cell proliferation. WCA induces apoptosis through the caspase-9 and caspase-3 pathway in vivo. Its mechanism might be involved in the down-regulation of Stat3 and bcl-2 genes.

Objective:To explore the status quo of knowledge, attitude and practice in the posture management of premature infants among nurses in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and related training needs.Methods:This study is a cross-sectional study. From March to April 2022, 207 NICU nurses from 6 ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Shandong Province were selected by convenient sampling. The nurses were investigated online by using the self-developed General Information Questionnaire, Premature Infant Posture Management Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Questionnaire for NICU Nurses and Premature Infant Posture Management Training Needs Questionnaire for NICU Nurses. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of NICU nurses' knowledge, attitude and practice in the posture management of premature infants. A total of 207 questionnaires were distributed, and 201 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.10% (201/207) .Results:Among 201 NICU nurses, the scores of premature infant posture management knowledge, attitude, practice and total score were (59.12±7.82) , (33.10±3.09) , (54.92±7.36) and (147.14±15.15) respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis results show that the nature of the working hospital, whether they received relevant training, and the importance of participating in relevant training were the influencing factors of NICU nurses' total score of knowledge, attitude and practice in the posture management of premature infants ( P<0.05) . 78.11% (157/201) of NICU nurses accepted the training of premature infant posture management, 98.01% (197/201) of NICU nurses were willing to accept the training of premature infant posture management, and 91.04% (183/201) of NICU nurses thought it was very important to participate in the training of premature infant posture management. NICU nurses believed that the main obstacle affecting the quality of posture management of premature infants was the lack of relevant knowledge. The most desired training content was the effect of different postures on premature infants. Conclusions:NICU nurses have a high level of knowledge, attitude and practice in posture management of premature infants. Managers should strengthen the training of NICU nurses in the posture management of premature infants, improve the ability of NICU nurses in the posture management of premature infants, and promote the improvement of the nursing quality of premature infants.
