OBJECTIVE To study the correlation between mutations of gyrA and parC genes and ciprofloxacin-(resistant) clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii from Chengdu.METHODS The genes of gyrA and parC DNA in 28 ciprofloxacin-resistant and 2 ciprofloxacin-susceptible isolates of A.baumannii were amplified by PCR and then analyzed by restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP) and DNA sequencing.(RESULTS) Hinf Ⅰ digestion of the gyrA gene products of susceptible isolates(generated) two fragments,but resistant isolates(generated) one fragment.The parC gene products generated 2 fragments.DNA sequencing of 5 resistant isolates revealed mutations in gyrA gene that resulted in amino acid substitutions: Ser83→Leu and Ala88→Thr,especially,Ser83 point mutation accounting for the disappearance of sequence of Hinf Ⅰ.There was not any mutation in(gyrA) of 1 susceptible isolate;the substitution of Ser108→Ile in parC(gene) of 1 susceptible and 1 resistant isolates were identified,the remaining four isolates had more nosense mutations.CONCLUSIONS Compared with parC gene mutations,(gyrA) gene mutations of A.baumannii appears to be the main molecular mechanism responsible for ciprofloxacin resistance.The high-level ciprofloxacin resistance in A.baumannii probably needs a variety of mutations.

5. Preparation of nasal ethosome spray of geniposide and its nasal mucosa permeability in vitro
Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2013;44(9):1105-1110
Objective: To optimize the preparation technology of geniposide ethosome spray (GES) and to evaluate the regulation of its nasal mucosa permeability in vitro and nasal ciliotoxicity. Methods: Geniposide ethosomes were prepared by ethanol injection method. An central composite design-response surface method was used to optimize the related factors and technical parameters in the preparation of geniposide ethosomes with entrapment efficiency as evaluation index. Their physical properties were evaluated by the transmission electron microscope and photon correlation spectrometer. The isolated pig nasal mucosa was used to investigate the regulation of GES nasal mucosa permeability in vitro. The accumulated permeation amounts of geniposide aqueous solution, geniposide liposomes, and geniposide ethosomes were compared. In situ toad palate model was established to evaluate the effects of geniposide ethosomes on persistent vibration duration of toad palate cilia, so as to evaluate the cililary toxicity. Results: The average encapsulation percentage, particle size, drug loading, and Zeta potential of geniposide ethosomes were (65.80 ± 2.53)%, (173.40 ± 71.02) nm, (5.25 ± 0.15)%, and (-42.50 ± 8.27) mV, respectively. The accumulative permeation amount of geniposide ethosomes in 300 min was 23.39 μg/cm2, which was about 2.17 times of liposomes and 11.03 times of geniposide aqueous solution. Furthermore, the GES showed less mucociliary toxicity. Conclusion: The optimized formulation and preparation technology of geniposide ethosomes are rational. GES could significantly increase the mucosa permeability of geniposide and could be used for nasal administration.

Objective To investigate the effect of target diameter and target-to-background ratio (TBR) on the measurement of SUVmax [| (true SUV-SUVmax)/true SUV | × 100%,△SUVmax) in PET.Methods Six cylinders with various diameters from 5 to 29 mm were inserted in National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) NU 2-1994 phantom.The six cylinders and background of phantom were filled with18F-FDG solution.Six different TBRs (1.79,3.70,6.25,10.59,14.87 and 17.88) were obtained by changing the 18F-FDG concentration in the six cylinders.The PET data were acquired in the 2D mode,and the target's inner diameter and SUVmax were measured.The logarithmic fitting curves of △SUVmax with diameter in different TBRs using equations (y=aln(x)+b) were acquired by Microsoft excel,| a| as the influence power of diameter on △SUVmax.Statistical analysis was performed with Pearson correlation test and curve estimation utilizing SPSS 17.0.Results The Pearson correlation coefficient between △SUVmax and diameter was-0.806 (P<0.01).△SUVmax was inversely correlated with the diameter.When the diameter (the inner diameter measured on PET images) was 4.0 mm,△SUVmax could be as high as 79.73% with different TBRs.The Pearson correlation coefficient between the influence power of diameter on △SUVmax (| a |) and TBRs was 0.848 (P<0.05).When TBR was 6.25,10.59 and 14.87,the corresponding |a| was similar:38.019,39.998 and 39.362,respectively.When TBR was 17.88,| a| was the highest as 43.234.When TBR was 1.79 and 3.70,|a| was much smaller:14.141 and 23.411 respectively.Conclusions The lesion diameter is inversely correlated with △SUVmax.The influence power of diameter on △SUVmax is strongly correlated with TBR.Therefore,the effect of target diameter and TBR on the measurement of SUVmax should be taken into consideration for follow-up studies.

Objective To investigate the IL-6 signal transduction pathways and their regulation mechanism in a human myeloma cell line-U266. Methods Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) was used to detect the activation of the transcription factors (TFs)-STAT3 and NF-IL-6 by IL-6. Cells were treated with chemical agents or transfected with the expression plasmids for the two TFs or the anti-sense oligonucleotide for protein kinase involved in one IL-6 signal transduction pathway. The change of the activation state of another IL-6 signal transduction pathway was also exhibited by EMSA. Results Two IL-6 signal transduction pathways (JAK/STAT and Ras/NF-IL-6) can be activated by IL-6 of different dose in U266 cells. When one of the two signal transduction pathways was up-regulated, the other one was down-regulated. Conclusion There is an antagonistic effect between the activation of two IL-6 signal transduction pathways in U266 cells.
