Objective To evaluate the activities of four demestic macrolides against C. trachomatis and C. pneumoniae by antimicrobiai susceptibility testing. Methods Cell culture and immunoflourescence staining of chlamydial inclusions were used to determine MICs of four demestic macrolides against C. trachomatis and C. pneumoniae. Results MIC (0.5 μg/ml) was found for acylspriramycin,erythromycin and azithromycin against C. trachomatis serovar B while it was 4 μg/ml for acetylspiramycin. Agaisnt C. trachomatis serovar D, MIC was 0.25 μg/mi in both acylspriramycin and azithromycin, and MICs were 0.5 μg/ml and 2 μml in erythromycin and acetylspiramycin, separately. Agaisnt C. pneumoniae TWAR, erythromycin was the most active with MIC≤0. 016 μg/ml, acylspriramycin and azithromycin were the second with same M1C of 0.032 μg/ml. However, acetylspiramycin was less active with 0.5 μg/ml of MIC. Conclusion Except acetylspiramycin, acylspriramycin erythromycin and azithromycin had reliable activities against both C. trachomatis (serovar B and D) and C. pneumoniae.

Objective: To observe the effect of Juebi capsule (JBC) on experimental prostatic hyperplasia. Methods: Experimental prostatic hyperplasia was induced by castration testicular nourmone in the mice and rats respectively and the isolated bladder trigone muscle of the rabbit was used for contraction inhibition. Results: For mice, JBC 10 20g/kg was administered intragastrically for 10 days; for rats, JBC 1 2g/kg was taken for 3 weeks. The results showed that JBC can significantly inhibite prostatic hyperplasia and decrease wet weight of the gland, DNA content and the activity of serum acid phosphatase. Otherwise, 0.25%, 0.50% and 0.75% water suspension of JBC also can inhibite the contraction induced by norepinephrine in isolated bladder trigone muscle of the rabbit. The inhibition rates were 29.17%, 41.72% and 62.29%.Conclusion: JBC can significantly inhibit experimental prostatic hyperplasia and decrease contraction of bladder trigone muscle induced by ? adrenoceptor agonist.

ObjectiveTo analyze the seroepidemiologic of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection and evaluate antibiotics medication of some positive patients by follow-up. Methods Serodia-MycolⅡ particle agglutination assay was used to detect serum antibodies against Mycoplasma pneumoniae in 3 134 clinically suspected infections. Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection was determined and seroepidemiologic was analyzed by results of the test, including positive antibody rates in whole subjects, in male or female groups, in different seasons or age groups as well as in different sources. Evaluate antibiotics medication of some positive patients by follow-up. The average days of medication were counted, different antibiotics medication and medication effect were analyzed. Results In 3 134 serum samples from clinically suspected Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections, 350 ( 11.2% ) were tested with positive antibodies. The positive antibody rate in female patients was 12. 3% ( 198/1 604), which was higher than 9. 9% ( 152/1 530) in males (X2 =4. 58,P <0. 05). The peak season was found in the fourth quarter (October-December) with 13.2% of positive antibody and the highest positive rate (32. 8%, 45/137 ) was found in school aged (5 -9 years old )children. Samples from pediatrics clinic and ward were tested to have highest positive rates ( 27. 9% and 26. 5%, respectively ), comparing that from other sources. Infection due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae was identified in 28% (7/25) of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) patients, which is higher than other diseases. Based on the follow-up of 91 antibody positive patients, between 5 to 120 days ( mean 24. 2 days )were counted from appearance of clinical symptoms to clinic visiting/testing. 71 of 91 (78. 0% ) patients was medicated with macrolide antibiotics, 4 (4. 4% ) with quinolones, 4 (4. 4% ) with cephalosporin, and the rest 12 ( 13.2% ) patients were medicated with other antibiotics or only symptomatic treatment. The average period of antibiotics medication was between 3 to 21 days (mean 8. 2 days). Medication effect results by follow-up were cure in 35 ( 38. 5% ), improvement in 50 (54. 9% ), and poor responses in 6 (6. 6% ).ConclusionsMycoplasma pneumoniae positive rate in female patients was higher than in males, and peak rate was found in the fourth quarter and in school aged children. Samples from pediatrics clinic and ward were tested to have highest positive rates. Physicians could choose first line antibiotics according to laboratory test results of Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and gain good effect.

Objective To detect the expression of SALL4 in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and analyze its potential clinical significance. Methods Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (FQ-RT-PCR) was used to examine SALLA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 68 cases of AML including 36 cases in acute phase and 32 cases in remission phase, 30 healthy controls, Kasumi-1 cells and THP-1 cells. Then, flow cytometry, bone marrow smear and automated hematology analyzer were used to analyze the relationship between the SALL4 expression and blast cell counts in the bone marrow, peripheral white blood cell (WBC) counts, peripheral large unstained cell (LUC), CD34 in blast cells. Further, the change of SALL4 level during pre-chemotherapy, chemotherapy (2nd w to 3rd w) and remission were investigated in 5 AML cases. Results The level of SALL4 expression in patients with AML in acute phase [69.01 (17.20-120.28)] was 26-fold and 61-fold high compared with that in remission phase [2.64(1.35-5.41)] and in healthy control [1.14(0.50-1.62)] (Z=-6.48,-6.83,P<0.01). The level of SALL4 expression in remission phase was 2.3-fold high compared with that in healthy control (Z=-3.61 ,P<0.01). The expression level of SALL4 was decreased along with efficient chemotherapy in 5 AML cases in which SALL4 expression level was 79.74 (33.76-89.09), 7.19 (5.97-20.21) and 3.40 (1.44-15.53) during pre-chemotherapy, chemotherapy (2nd w to 3rd w) and remission, respectively. In groups of abnormal increased counts of blast cell, peripheral LUC% and CD34%, expression of SALL4 [33.82 (16.00-144.01), 30.70(23.75-72.50) and 56.25(23.79-153.81), respectively] were higher than that in groups of normal counts [2.74 (1.59-5.13), 5.71 (2.52-22.40) and 20.82 (14.03-55.12), respectively ] (Z=-4.64,-2.18,-3.66,P<0.01 or P<0.05). The expression of SALL4 in the group of increased WBC counts [89.26(23.75-154.34)] was higher than that in the group of normal WBC counts [3.86(2.03-6.01)] and the group of decreased WBC counts [6.66(2.51-17.06)] (Z=-4.91,-4.21,P<0.01). The level of SALL4 expression was positively correlated with blast cell counts in bone marrow and peripheral WBC counts (r=0.45,0.40,P<0.01). Conclusions FQ-RT-PCR method can be used successfully to detect the expression of SALL4,and the expression of SALLA may be useful to predict disease progression of AML.
