Objective To investigate the drug tolerance of Acinetobacter baumanni and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia . Methods The antimicrobial susceptibility tests for 275 isolates of Acinetobacter baumanni and 107 isolates of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia from 2000 to 2004 were measured by MicroScan WarkAway 96 The chemotherapeutic effects of 18 cases of sequent infection with Acinetobacter baumanni and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia was analyzed. Results The resistance of the two species of bacteria to twelve antibiotics increased obviously during the last five years, especially from 2000 to 2001. The resistant rate of Acinetobacter baumanni to Cefepime、Cefotaxime、Ceftazidime and Ceftriaxonewas was 20~50% in 2000, but raised to 70%~81% in 2004. For Acinetobacter baumanni to Amikacin、Amp/sulbac、Ciprofloxacin、Gentamicin、Tobramycin and Trimeth/Sulfa, the resistant rate was 20%~40% in 2000, while 63~86% in 2004. The lowest resistant rate was to Imipenem, only 7% or so. The resistant rate of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia to Ciprofloxacin、Ceftazidime、ceftriaxone and Tobramycin was 25%、50%、0% and 0%, respectively, in 2000, but in 2004 year, was 76%、76%、95% and 95%, respectively. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia showed a high drug tolerance to other antibiotics. Conclusion To strengthen the monitoring of the antibiotic resistance of Acinetobacter baumanni and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and the monitoring of sequential infection in Acinetobacter baumanni and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is very important for clinic so as to choose antibiotic rationally and improve curative effect

In the present study, we inserted the core-streptavidin cDNA into downstream of multi-cloning site of plasmid pOPE101-8E5 by DNA gene recombination technology. And then, the variable fragments of heavy and light chain of the scFv-8E5 were replaced by the scFv-C4 variable fragments to construct the expression vector pOPE101-C4∷core-streptavidin. After transformed the vector pOPE101-C4∷core streptavidin into E.coil, the fusion protein C4∷core streptavidin-His-tag can be expressed by inducing with IPTG, and the expression level and activity of the expressed fusion protein analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The results show that a scFv-C4∷core-streptavidin fusion protein of 45kDa was obtained, which can bind proteins of 60kDa & 45kDa from the KG1a cells lysate simultaneously. The binding function can be detected by the binding of core-streptavidin and biotin directly.

Objective To observe the effect of a triptolide-eluting stent(TES)on neointimal hyperplasia in response to vascular injury,inflammation and safety to prevent restenosis after angioplasty.Method Twelve pigs were randomly divided into three groups and received either a bare metal stent(BMS),a sirolimus-eluting stent (SES)or a TES.Each pig was treated with antiplatelet drugs after angioplasty.Biochemistry,vascular morphometry,histopathology and immunohistochemistry were analyzed at 12 weeks after angioplasty.Results The injury scores of the blood vessel were similar in all three groups.There were no differences in minimal lumen diameter or lumen area between the TES[(5.13 ±0.46)mm2;(2.65 ± 0.21)mm]and SES[(5.01±0.54)mm2;(2.65±0.25)mm]groups,but they were significantly(P＜0.01)larger than those in the BMS group[(3.76±0.61)mm2;(2.15 ±0.18)mm].The neointimal area in the TES group was smaller than that in the BMS group,but was similar to that in the SES group.The expression of VEGF,ICAM-1 and α-actinin were significantly lower in the TES group than in the BMS group.In all groups,the proliferation on both edges of the stents was insignificant.No toxicity was found in the TES group.Conclusions TES inhibits neointimal proliferation and the expression of inflammatory factors in pigs.In this study,TES safely and effectively prevented restenosis for 12 weeks.

Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics of pertussis-associated pneumonia and analyze it's risk factors. Methods: Clinical data were taken from Shenzhen Children's Hospital with Bordetella pertussis infection and confirmed by culture or real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of nasopharyngeal secretion from October 2013 to December 2015. Patients were divided into two groups, those with radiologically confirmed pneumonia in the course of their disease and those with not. Clinical data were retrospectively analyzed and compared. T test, Rank sum test or chi square test were used for comparison between groups. Risk factors were analyzed by unconditional Logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 501 children hospitalized with Bordetella pertussis infection were included. Among them, 309 patients were diagnosed with pneumonia. The median age was 3 (2, 6) months. Symptoms were paroxysmal cough (n=252, 81.6%), tachypnea (n=69, 22.3%), and cyanosis (n=105, 34.0%). The time from onset of cough to radiologically confirmed pneumonia was between 1 and 66 days with a median of 9 (5.5, 15.0) days. The most common pathogen of coinfection was respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)(20 cases). Macrolides were used in 306 cases for (8.2±3.6) days. All cases showed significant improvement. There were more male children (62.1% (192/309) vs. 50.3% (95/189) , χ²=6.768, P=0.009), and more instances of comorbidities (13.3% (41/309) vs.5.8% (11/189) , χ²=6.957, P=0.008) in the pneumonia group than in the other. The age was younger (3 (2,6) vs.4 (2,6) months, Z=32.91, P=0.000) in pneumonia group than in the other. Male sex, younger age, and underlying disease were independent risk factors for pertussis-associated pneumonia (OR=1.648, 1.486, 2.695, P=0.008, 0.036, 0.005). Conclusions Pneumonia, as a complication of pertussis, is very easy to see in hospitalized children. The duration of hospitalization is extensive. It is more likely to happen in children who are male, young, and having underlying diseases. Pneumonia is easy to occur in the first 2 weeks of the course of disease.

Objective To screen the MYBPC3 gene mutations in Han Chinese patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy ( HCM ). Methods Sixty-six patients with HCM were enrolled for the study. The exons in the functional regions of MYBPC3 were amplified with PCR and the products were sequenced. Results Four novel mutations and four common polymorphisms were identified in this patient cohort. A Lys301fs mutation in exon10 was evidenced in a H30, and when he was 47 years old, he had the chest tightness, shortness of breath with septal hypertrophy of 18. 7mm; a Asp463stop mutation in exonl7 was detected in a H48, he was 24 years old 24-year-old when a medical examination showed ventricular septal hypertrophy of 15.4 mm; both Gly523Arg mutation in exonl8 and Tyr847His mutation in exon26 were found in a H53 with onset age 36 years old, feeling chest tightness after excise and his ventricular septal hypertrophy was 27 mm that time. MYBPC3 mutatons occurred in 4. 5% patients in this cohort. These mutations were not found in 100 non-HCM control patients. Conclusion MYBPC3 mutation is presented in a small portion of Han Chinese patients with HCM.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of IFN-α on cytokines in serum of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia(CML).

METHODSFifty patients with CML from March 2012 to December 2015 in our hospital were randomly divided into routine treatment group (n=25) and combined treatment group (n=25), 30 healthy persons were selected as control (control group). The CML patients in routine treatment group were given orally hydroxyurea, the CML patients in combined treatment group were treated with recombinant human interferon α2b injection based on routine treatment (hydroxyurea plus IFN-α group). The levels of ALP, IL-6, PGE-2, MMP-2, and bFGF in serum were detected by ELISA. The cytogenetic, molecular and hematologic responses of patients in routine treatment group and combined treatment group, including patients in chronic and accelerated blastic phases were compared after 6 weeks of treatment.

RESULTSThe servum levels of ALP, IL-6, PGE-2, MMP-2 and bFGF in CML patients with chronic and accelerated blastic phases all were higher than those in control group(P<0.05). The levels of MMP-2 and bFGF in CML patients with chronic phase were highr than those of CML patients with accelerated blastic phase (P<0.05), the levels of ALP, PGE-2 and IL-6 of patients with chronic phase were significantly lower than those of patients in accelerated blastic phase (P<0.05). The ALP, IL-6, PGE-2, MMP-2 and bFGF levels in combined treatment group were significantly lower than those in the routine treatment group after 2 weeks and 6 weeks of treatment(P<0.05); After the end of treatment, the CHR of routine treatment group was 56%, which was lower than that of combined treatment group 84%(χ=18.667, P<0.001); the CCyR of routine treatment group was 32% which was significantly higher than 12% in combined treatment group(χ=11.655, P<0.001); the CMR of routine treatment group was 12% that was significantly higher than 4% in combined treatment group (χ=4.347, P=0.037). The median survival time of routine treatment group was significantly shorter than that of the combined treatment group, but there was no significant difference during follow-up (P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONIFN-α can alleviate the symptoms of patients with CML and inhibit the process of disease with CML patients, effectively inhibit the expression of disease-related cytokines.
