Objective To isolate and classigy the bacteriophages specific to Pseudomonas aetuginosa and to investigate biofilm control efficaey of the isolated virulent phages.Methods With P. aeruginosa clinical strains as indicators.bacteriophages were isolated by screening difierent environmental samples.Classification of the isolated phages was done with the methods of restriction fragment analysis of phage genome and host range analysis.Transmission electron microscopy(TEM)was used in phage morphology study.In biogilm control tests,TJC729 was used as the jndicator strain to study the biofilm control efficacy of the isolated phages.Results Total 13 lytic phages specific to P.aeruginosa strains were isolated and named as C1-C13.According to the result of restriction fragment analysis.all 13 phages were double-stranded DNA viruses and could be divided into eight groups.Host range experiments were conducted with 5 laboratory strains and 12 clinical strains of P. aeruginosa.The same infection profiles were observed among phage C1 and C13,C6 and C7,and C9 and C11,respectively.While the remaining 7 phages each had different unique infection profile.Phage C1 was selected randomly to study its morphology.The obtained images showed that phage C1 had an icosahedral head with a non-contractile tail,belonging to the Siphoviridae family.Compared with the single phage,phage cocktail had the best effect on biofilm control.Further experiment results showed that phage C1.C10 and C12 can destroy biofilm after treatment of the biofilm for 24 h.The biofilm amounts were deceased to 32.7%,57.6%and 32.8%of the initial values,respectively.Conclusion Thirteen virulent phages specific to P. aeruginosa had been isolated.The phages could significantly inhibit the biofilm formation and had a certain degree of damage on the biofilm.The results suggested an alternative method for the treatments of P.aeruginosa infections.

Objective To investigate the value of multipoint and multidirectional ultrasound-guided fineneedle aspiration cytology (US-FNAC) in preoperative diagnosis of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC).Methods From Jan.2012 to Jan.2013,multipoint and multidirectional US-FNAC were performed in 177 patients with 233 nodules suspected as PTMC,and the cytopathological findings were compared with surgical pathological results and clinical follow-up results.Results Of the 233 biopsies,the cytology were classified as malignant for 146 lesions,suspicious for malignancy for 43 lesions,benign for 24 lesions,follicular lesions for 4 lesions and inadequate sample for 16 lesions.After the second multipoint and multidirectional US-FNAC,only 1 case did not have sufficient cells for diagnosis,and the puncture failure rate was 0.43%.Actually there were 189 malignant and 44 benign lesions confirmed by clinical follow-up and pathological results.The sensitivity,specificity,and accuracy of multipoint and multidirectional US-FNAC was 99.5%,81.8% and 96.1% respectively.Conclusions Multipoint and multidirectional US-FNAC has definite value in increasing puncture qualified rate and positive diagnosis rate before operation.

Objective To observe the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of procalcitonin (PCT),matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in children with purulent meningitis and viral encephalitis,and evaluat the differential diagnosis value of PCT and MMP-9.Methods The clinical data of 73 patients with intracranial infection admitted to neurology of Qingdao Women and Children's Hospital from September 2014 to December 2015.Twenty-two patients with pumlent meningitis were se1ected as purulent meningitis group,51 patients with viral encephalitis as viral encephalitis group,and another 20 non-infectious convulsion children as a control group.Samples of 2 ml CSF and 3 ml venous blood from all the subjects were collected within 24 hours after admission.The levels of MMP-9 were detected by Enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),and the PCT 1evels were measured by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay.The data in multiple groups were compared with analysis of variance,and by SNK-q test to carry on pairwise comparison among groups.The positive rate significance compared by Chi-square test.Linear correlation analysis was used for correlation analysis.Results Mean serum and CSF levels of PCT in the pumlent meningitis patients group were significantly higher than those in the viral encephalitis group as well as the control group (P < 0.01),but the levels of serum or CSF there were no significant difference between the viral encephalitis group and the control group (P > 0.05);Mean serum and CSF levels of MMP-9 in the pumlent meningitis patients group were significantly higher than those in the viral encephalitis group and control group (P < 0.01),and the levels in patients with viral encephalitis were significantly higher than those in control group (P < 0.01);The increased percentage of the serum and CSF PCT in pumlent meningitis group were significantly higher than in viral encephalitis group (P < 0.01).,but there were no significant difference for MMP-9 (P > 0.05);The PCT level of serum or CSF in pumlent meningitis patients was positively correlated with MMP-9 (r =0.498,P < 0.01),but there was no significant correlation in viral encephalitis group (P > 0.05).Conclusion Detection of PCT and MMP-9 level is valuable in differential diagnosis for the pumlent meningitis or viral encephalitis.

Objective To study the profile of peripheral natural killer cells(NK cells)and γδT lymphocytes in human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)infected patients with different disease status and to explore the pathogenesis of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS).Methods Three hundred and eleven HIV/AIDS patients without antiviral treatment were enrolled in this study.The percentages and absolute numbers of CD4+T lymphocytes,NK cells,and γδT ceils were measured by flow cytometry.The patients were divided into 3 groups based to their CD4+T lymphocytes counts:low CD4+T lymphocytes group(L),patients with CD4+T lymphocytes <0.20×109L;middle CD4+T lymphocytes group(M),CD4+T lymphocytes counts between 0.20×109and 0.35×109L;high CD4+T lymphocytes group(H),patients with CD4+T lymphocytes counts >0.35×109L.Rank sum test of independent samples of two-group and multiple-group was performed using Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test.Correlation analysis was done by Spearman and Pearson test. Results The median percentage and cell counts of NK cells(8.4%,103×106L) and γδT cells(3.4%,41×106L)in HIV/AIDS patients were all significantly lower than those of healthy individuals(Z=-5.029,Z=-7.723,Z=-2.437,Z=-6.063;all P<0.01).The median cell counts of CD4+T lymphocytes in L,M,H groups were 0.062×109L,0.276×109L and 0.482×109L,respectively.The median cell counts of NK cells in these 3 groups were 89×106L,97×106L and 146×106L,respectively.NK cell counts were not significantly different between L and M groups,whereas both of them were much lower than that of H group(Z=-3.392,P=-0.001,Z=-4.849,P<0.01,respectively).The median γδT cell counts of L,M and H group were 29×106L,43×106L and 59×106L,respectively.The differences between any 2 groups were not significant.Conclusion These data suggest that the decreasing levels of peripheral NK cells and γδT cells are different after HIV infection.

To investigate the different reconstitutional profiles for acquired(CD4+ T cell)and innate(NK cell,γδT lymphocyte)immunity after highly active antiretroviral therapy(HAART).Methods The CD4+ CD4+,CD3+ CD4- CD8-,CD3- CD16/CD56+,CD4+ CD45 RA+ CD62 L+ and CD4+ CD45 RA- subsets were measured by flow cytometry.The dynamic changes of these subsets after HAART initiation were assessed in 59 patients who were followed for 12 months in resular 3-month visits.Results At baseline the cell counts of CD4+ T cells including its na(I)ve and memory subsets,NK cell and γδT cells in HIV/AIDS patients were all significantly lower than those of healthy individuals.There was a decrease of 2.33 lg copies/ml in HIV-1 RNA from baseline noted 1 month after initiation of treatment which was sustained through 12 months.CD4+ T cell count showed a bi-phase increase during treatment.The first rapid increase was mainly memory CD4+T cells and this followed by the second slow but steady increase of na(I)ve CD4+ T cells.Increases in NK cell and γδT cell were noted at 3 months of HAART and this restoration were different quantitatively when compared with the oge in CD4+ T cells.Conclusion HAART could induce a different quantitative restorational patterns in peripheral CD4+ T cells,NK cells and γδT cells.
