Microbiology 1992;0(05):-
Netilmicin n etabolic characteristics of shaking-flask fermentation were investigated. In 12L glass fermentor, it was showed that phosphate and methionine stimulated growth of mycelia and increased the production of antibiotic.On this basis, netilmicin fermentation had been scaled up successfully according to the standard of the same agitated power per unit volume from 12L fermentor to 5t fermentor.

Objective Through epidemiological analysis of prehospital trauma care in Guangzhou during 1996~2004,to explore common characteristics and trends of it.Methods The data of the prehospital trauma patient were collected by Guangzhou First Aid Service Command Center from 1996 to 2004 and was prospectively analyzed. Results The number of prehospital care had been increased year by year(increased by 3.56 times in the nine years).The number of the trauma patients had been increased by 7.98 times.Head injury was in the first place(6.86%). Most of casualties fell into the age of 21~40 years old.The male patients were the two times that of female patients.Conclusion Trauma has become an serious problem. The improvement of prehospital emergency network, ability of on-the-spot emergency care and popularizing the knowledge of emergency are key to reduce the casualties.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is one of the common chronic complications of diabetes,and the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has unique advantages for its treatment.This paper reviews the progress of the mechanism of TCM for peripheral neuropathy of diabetes in the past five years,The studies shows that TCM may work from five aspects including oxidative stress,inflammatory response,microvascular dysfunction,neurotrophic disorder and lipid metabolic abnormality.

Objective To investigate the revascular and transplanted effects of islet grafts after co-transplantation with vascular endothelial cells ( ECs) in diabetic rats. Methods The rat ECs and islet cells were isolated and purified, then subcutaneously co-transplanted to the inbred SD male rats with diabetes mellitus, the group of islets transplanted alone, group of phosphate buffered solution, and group of normal rats served as control. Islet grafts revascularization degree, islet cells activity and apoptosis were observed by immunohistochemical double staining of CD31, insulin and factor associated suicide (Fas) antibody. The results of intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT) and intraperitoneal insulin tolerance test (IPITT), the blood glucose and insulin levels of the rats and the survival time of the islet grafts were compared. Results The blood glucose concentrations of IPGTT and IPITT, the blood glucose and insulin levels of rats analyzed by multivariate analysis in the ECs and islets transplantation group were better than those in the islets transplantation alone group (P<0.05). The islet grafts mean survival time of the ECs and islets transplantation group was longer than that of the islets transplantation alone group (P<0.05). On the 7th day after transplantation, mean microvascular density of islet grafts per square millimeter in the ECs and islets transplantation group was 26.4 ± 6.1, significantly greater than that in the islets transplantation alone group 18.3 ± 5.7 (P<0.05). In the ECs and islets transplantation group, insulin staining intensity was higher than that in the islets transplantation alone group (P<0.05), while factor associated suicide(Fas) staining intensity was lower than that in the islets transplantation alone group ( P<0. 05 ). Conclusion Co-transplantation with ECs could promote the revascularization of islet grafts and improve the effect of islet transplantation.

Objective To explore the sample type and drug resistance characteristics of Streptococcus pneu-monia(Spn)isolated from pediatric patients in Guangzhou district,and their age distribution to offer instruc-tions for prevention and clinical treatment.Methods Spn isolates were cultured and identified according to the national standard procedure for clinical laboratory operation,followed by analysis of sample type and age dis-tribution of pediatric patients with positive isolates of Spn in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Cen-ter from 2013 Jan 1st to 2015 Dec 31st,drug resistance status was determined by MIC test.Results Totally, 1 243 strains of Spn were isolated,which were mainly from pediatric patients under 1 year old(42.80%).Spn isolates were mainly isolated from respiratory tract(72.81%),ear secretions(15.37%),blood(5.63%),cere-brospinal fluid(3.06%)and hydrothorax(2.01%).For all Spn isolates,the resistance rate to erythromycin, tetracycline and sulfamethoxazole was especially high as 94.93%,85.76%,73.53% respectively,with relative high resistance to penicillin G(24.70%),amoxicillin(39.59%),ceftriaxone(24.05%),meropenem(22.85%) and cefotaxime(19.89%),low resistance to quinolone antibiotics(<10.00%),and no resistance to vancomycin and linezolid.Conclusion The major age group of children with Spn infection is infants under one year old in Guangzhou,clinicians should be serious about the high resistant rate of Spn to erythromycin,tetracycline and sulfamethoxazole,the significantly increased resistant rate to penicillin,amoxicillin and ceftriaxone.Clinicians should choose antibiotics rationally according to the characteristics of drug sensitivity for better treatment.

Objective:To establish a classification model for rapid identification of hypervirulent subtype ST17 clones of Group B Streptococcus (GBS) using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS).Methods:In a retrospective study, 235 strains of GBS strains were selected from multiple centers in China during 2015-2018. For model generation,45 strains of ST17 and 50 strains of non-ST17 (20 ST19, 15 ST12 and 15 ST10 strains) were enrolled as the modeling group. The remaining 90 main ST strains (40 ST17, 16 ST10, 17 ST12 and 17 ST19) were served as validation group. 50 GBS strains classified as other minor ST subtypes were regarded as taxonomic groups. MS spectra were collected by Bruker mass spectrometry, and then loaded for model generation and verification, and screening of differential peptide peaks by genetic algorithm (GA) and model verification on ClinProTools 3.0 software.Results:The recognition rate for ST17-GA model were 99.4% with cross validation value of 96.9%. Among the ten differential peptide peaks for the classification model, the weights of both two main peptide peaks m/z 2 956 and m/z 5 912 were greater than 1, while the weights of the all other eight peptide peaks were less than 0.5. Model validation showed only one of the ST17 was misjudged as non-ST17 strain, resulting in diagnostic accuracy of 98.9%, sensitivity of 97.5% and specificity of 100%, positive predictive value of 100% and negative predictive value of 98.0%, respectively. For other sporadic STs, 42.0% (21/50) of them were misdiagnosed as ST17 subtype.Conclusion:A MALDI-TOF MS classification model for hypervirulent subtype of ST17 GBS strains has been successfully established with good diagnostic efficacy.
