Objective To investigate the molecular characteristics and virulence genes of 488 Staphylococcus aureus ( S.aureus) strains isolated from the People′s Hospital of Huangzhou District in Hubei Province during 2009 to 2013.Methods The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of Oxacillin and Cefoxitin to S.aureus were determined by agar dilution method .PCR analysis was used for the detection of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec ( SCCmec ) and multilocus-sequence typing ( MLST ) .Multiplex PCR analysis was performed to detect the 31 common virulence genes .Results A total of 227 methicillin-resistant S.aureus ( MRSA) strains were identified from 488 S.aureus strains with a prevalence rate of 46.5%.The SCCmec Ⅲtype was the prevalent genotype accounting for 81.5% of the 227 MRSA strains, followed by Ⅳtype which accounted for 10.1%.The predominant clonal complex ( CC) of MRSA strains was CC8 accounting for 81.1%, followed by CC59 (4.8%) and CC5 (3.1%).CC1 was the predominant clonal complex of methicillin-sensitive S.aureus (MSSA) strains, accounting for 34.1% of the 261 MSSA strains, followed by CC398 (21.8%), CC121 (14.9%) and CC59 (13.0%).The number of MSSA iso-lates carrying no less than 15 test virulence genes was 109 ( 48 .2%) , which was significantly higher than that of MRSA isolates (28.2%) (P=0.002).A close relationship between the enterotoxins genes (sed, sej and ser) and the CCs of CC8 and CC5 was identified.Exfoliatin genes (eta and etb) and lukED gene were detected only in strains that belonged to CC 1.Strains that belonged to CC 1 and CC59 clones showed higher rates of pvl gene as compared with those belonging to other CCs (P<0.05).Conclusion The prevalence rate of MRSA strains was 46.5%in Huangzhou District, Hubei Province, which was consistent with the na-tional average rate .The predominant genotype of MRSA strains was ST 239-MRSA-SCCmecIII , accounting for 79.3%.Effective measures should be taken by Health sectors to control the spread of MRSA strains .The MSSA isolates carried more virulence genes than MRSA strains .The spectrums of virulence genes were var-ied in strains belong to different CCs clones , indicating the close relationship between virulence genes and genetic backgrounds .

Objective To investigate the prevalence and molecular characteristic of heterogeneous‐ vancomycin intermediate Staphylococcus aureus(hVISA) among methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)strains isolated from sterile body fluid specimens from 2009 to 2013 in Huangzhou District People′s Hospital in Huanggang City .Methods The minimum inhibitory con‐centrations (MIC) of antibiotics was determined by agar dilution method .The hVISA strains were detected by population analysis profile/area under the curve method (PAP/AUC) .The staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) ,multilocus‐sequence typing (MLST) ,accessory gene regulator (agr) and Staphylococcus aureus protein A(spa) typing of hVISA strains were detected using PCR method .Results 32 hVISA strains were detected among 285 MRSA strains ,the prevalence rate of hVISA was 11 .2% , and the detection rates of hVISA from 2009 to 2013 were 0 .0% ,6 .4% ,9 .0% ,14 .3% and 18 .8% ,respectively ,showed an increas‐ing trend .The main hVISA epidemic clone was ST239‐SCCmecIII‐ t030‐agrI type(28strains ,accounting for 87 .5% ) .Conclusion The detection rate of hVISA showed an increasing trend in the past 5 years ,should be paid attention to strictly control the utiliza‐tion of glycopeptide drugs .

Objective To analyse the number of dendritic cells and macrophages and the size of macrophages in the spleen of SARS patients so as to provide evident for the study of pathology and pathogenesis of SARS. Methods Immunohistochemical method with four specific antibodies(S-100,CD68,HLA-DR,CD83) were used to detect the dendritic cells and macrophages in the spleens of six dead patients of SARS and six accidental deaths as the controls,The number or the size of these positive cells was analysed with image analysis system. Results In the spleens of SARS patients,the number of S-100~+ dendritic cells in the white pulp was reduced by 80.4% on average,and even disappeard.The number of CD68~+ macrophages in the red pulp was reduced by 39.48% in SARS spleens,and the average size of individual macrophages was increased by 2.21 times.HLA-DR~+ antigen presenting cells(APC) reduced remarkably in the SARS spleen white pulp.CD83~+ mature dendritic cells did not exist in either SARS spleens or the control spleens.Conclusion The function of antigen presentation had been damaged severely,which supports that SARS should be categorized as a viral immune deficiency disease.SARS virus doesn't induce the maturation of DC.The increase in the size of macrophages indicated that they were in an activated state and may play a role in the pathogenesis of SARS.

Objective The paper applies Combination Evaluation Methods to the comprehensive evaluation of 31 cities' New RCMs condition in Fujian Province in 2007.Methods Four single Comprehensive Evaluation methods were employed to evaluate the results which were then combined by Combination Evaluation Methods.Results The results of Combination Evaluation Methods were more stable and accurate than those of single Comprehensive Evaluation methods.Conclusions The results of Combination Evaluation Methods are more stable and reliable.

Objective To investigate the distribution and the number of splenic lymphocytes in the patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome(SRAS).Methods Immunohistochemical method with four specific antibodies(CD3,CD4,CD8,CD20) was used to detect the distribution of lymphocyte special antigens in the spleens of six cases who died of SARS and six normal cases as the controls.The numbers of lymphocytes were analyzed with image analysis system.Results In the spleen of SARS patients,splenic corpuscle and periarterial lymphatic sheath (white pulp) were damaged severely. In the number of periarterial lymphatic sheath decreased 93.39% and in the number of splenic capsule decreased about 80% even disappeared at all. Red pulp hemorrhage necrosis was widely spread. In red pulp the number of CD3~(+)T cells decreased 71.76%,even disappeared at all,in the number of CD4~(+) and CD8~(+)T cells markedly decreased 86% and 84% respectively.The number of CD20~+ B cell decreased more than 80%. Conclusion T cells and B cells in spleens of SARS patients decreased widely spread and markedly in number,indicating that the immune system had been damaged severely,and the destroyment of the immunosystem may be the primary lesion of SARS.
