AIM: To explore the changes of myocardial energy metabolism and adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) activity in mitochondria in rats exposed to hypoxia. METHODS: Adult male Wistar rats were exposed to simulated high altitude at 5 000 m for control (0 d), 1 d, 5 d, 15 d, 30 d in hypobaric chamber. Myocardial mitochondria were isolated by centrifugation. Mitochondria respiratory function was measured by Clark oxygen electrode. The size of adenine nucleotides pool (ATP, ADP, AMP) in mitochondria were separated and measured by HPLC. ANT activity was measured by [3H]-ADP incorporation. RESULTS: Compared to control, mitochondria state Ⅲ respiratory (ST_3) and RCR decreased and ST_4 increased sharply at 1 d, 5 d and 15 d, ST_3 still lower than that in control at 30 d, while RCR level restored. ATP contents and ANT activity decreased at 1 d and 5 d, then restored to control level at 15 d, then decreased again at 30 d. CONCLUSION: The inhibition of mitochondria respiratory function is the main reason that makes ATP contents decrease during hypoxic exposure. ANT activity and ATP content change cooperatively.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and the resistance rate of Shigella in Anhui Province to guide the choice of antibacterials. METHODS Ninety one strains of Shigella were cultured in Sep 2005.The groups were identified by biochemical and serologic tests.Susceptibility of 91 strains of Shigella in Anhui to various antibiotics was tested using standardized custom dilution MIC panels according to CLSI(2005) guidelines. RESULTS There were 57 strains of Shigella flexneri,31 strains of S.sonnei and 2 strains ofS.boydii among 91 strains of Shigella.The resistance rates of Shigella to cefoperazone/sulbactam and piperacillin/tazobactam were remarkably lower than to other third generation cephalosporins.The susceptible rates to carbopenems were 100%.The resistance rates to ciprofloxacin lactate and pazufloxacin mesilate were 27.47% and 32.97%,respectively. CONCLUSIONS There is a certain resistance rate of the Shigella to fluoroquinolones and the third generation cephalosporins.More attention should be paid to the surveillance and control of such resistance.
