Objective To investigate the expressions of aminoglycoside modifying enzymes (AMEs)genes of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (ESBL-KP) isolates in our hospital, with an attempt to provide evidence for rational clinical antibiotics use. Mothods A total of 42 strains of ESBL-KP were isolated from January 2007 to January 2008 in our hospital The expressions of 9 AMEs including aac (3)-Ⅰ , aac (3)-Ⅱ , aac (3)-l, aac (3)-Ⅳ, aac (6')- Ⅰ , aac (6')-Ⅰ, apb (3')-Ⅵ, ant (3")-Ⅰ, and ant (2") -Ⅰ were identified by polymerase chain reaction. Results The positive rates of aac (3) - Ⅱ, ant (3") - Ⅰ ,aac (6') - Ⅰ , apb (3') -Ⅵ, and aac (3) - Ⅰ were 85. 7%, 59. 5%, 21.4% , 9. 5%, and 7. 1% , respectively. All the other genotypes were negative. The positive rate of AMEs reached 90. 5% (38 of 42). Conclusions The expression rates of AMEs genes are high among ESBL-KP isolates in our hospital. The aminoglycoside resistance may be relevant with AMEs.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of needling Danzhong(CV 17) in the treatment of postpartum hypogalactia and provide clinical evidence for indications of the point. Methods: A multi-centre single-blind randomized controlled trial was carried out. Two hundred and seventy-six puerperal women with postpartum hypogalactia were randomly allocated into acupuncture group and herb group, and respectively treated for three consecutive days. The degree of mammary fullness, the amount of milk secreted, prolactin, baby weight, the frequency and volume of artificial feeding, the number of infant urination events, and the duration of baby crying were observed. The clinical curative effects on postpartum hypogalactia were compared. Results: Hypogalactia was effectively treated in both acupuncture and herb groups. There were statistically significant differences in degree of mammary fullness, amount of milk secreted, baby weight, the frequency and amount of artificial feeding, and the number of infant urination events between pretreatment and post-treatment, but no difference between the two groups. There was no significant difference in prolactin in the acupuncture group and there was a difference in prolactin in the herb group between pretreatment and posttreatment. Conclusion: Needling Danzhong(CV 17) can effectively promote lactation.

Objective To explore the value of simple exercise provocation test ( 6?minute running test) combined with small airway function test in early diagnosis of cough variant asthma ( CVA ) in children.Methods Ninety?four children with chronic cough from September 2017 to September 2018 in the pediatric clinic of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University were selected for routine pulmonary ventilation function examination,simple exercise stimulation test and questionnaire survey.The differences of pulmonary function,clinical manifestations and allergens between positive and negative children with simple exercise stimulation test were compared and analyzed.Results The forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) of 94 children with chronic cough were all more than 70% by routine pulmonary function test,and the exercise provocation test was successfully completed.Among them,32 (34.04%) were positive in simple exercise provocation test.Among the positive patients,30 cases ( 93.75%) were diagnosed as CVA after further examination,clinical treatment and follow?up.In CVA group, FEV1 ( 81.52 ± 14.22)%,forced vital capacity (FVC) (89.00 ± 14.31)%, peak expiratory flow ( PEF) ( 65.05 ± 15.10)%, one?second rate (FEV1／FVC) (92.18±13.59)%,and instantaneous flow at 50% forced expiratory flow were observed after exercise.The vital capacity ( FEF50 ) ( 57.57 ± 22.49 )%, forced expiratory flow at 75% vital capacity (FEF75) (41.15±18.28)%,maximum expiratory flow ( MMEF75／25) (53.14±22.53)% were significantly lower than those before exercise ((94.07±9.69)%,( 92.30± 13.60)%,(80.73± 17.85)%,(101.07± 13.79)%,(66.71±19.29)%,(51.32±18.38)%,(63.75±19.43)%),(t values were 8.592 ,2.617 , 10.246 ,5.428,3.590 ,3.646 ,3.687 ,respectively,all P＜0.05)) In routine examination of pulmonary ventilation function,FEF50 (66.71 ± 19.29)% and FEF75 ( 51.32 ± 18.38)% in the positive group were significantly lower than those in the negative group (( 79.75 ± 21.94)%、( 69.08 ± 29.28)%),( t values were －2.841,－3.123,all P＜0.01).The proportion of night cough,morning cough and severe dry cough in positive group was significantly higher than that in negative group,while the proportion of day cough and wet cough was significantly lower than that in negative group ( P＜0.01).The proportion of eczema history in positive group was significantly higher than that in negative group ( P＜0.01).Conclusion Patients with CVA have high airway responsiveness and small airway dysfunction.Combination of simple motor stimulation test and small airway function test has important clinical value in the early diagnosis of CVA.

Chronic visceral hypersensitivity is an important type of chronic pain with unknown etiology and pathophysiology. Recent studies have shown that epigenetic regulation plays an important role in the development of chronic pain conditions. However, the role of miRNA-325-5p in chronic visceral pain remains unknown. The present study was designed to determine the roles and mechanism of miRNA-325-5p in a rat model of chronic visceral pain. This model was induced by neonatal colonic inflammation (NCI). In adulthood, NCI led to a significant reduction in the expression of miRNA-325-5p in colon-related dorsal root ganglia (DRGs), starting to decrease at the age of 4 weeks and being maintained to 8 weeks. Intrathecal administration of miRNA-325-5p agomir significantly enhanced the colorectal distention (CRD) threshold in a time-dependent manner. NCI also markedly increased the expression of CCL2 (C-C motif chemokine ligand 2) in colon-related DRGs at the mRNA and protein levels relative to age-matched control rats. The expression of CXCL12, IL33, SFRS7, and LGI1 was not significantly altered in NCI rats. CCL2 was co-expressed in NeuN-positive DRG neurons but not in glutamine synthetase-positive glial cells. Furthermore, CCL2 was mainly expressed in isolectin B4-binding- and calcitonin gene-related peptide-positive DRG neurons but in few NF-200-positive cells. More importantly, CCL2 was expressed in miR-325-5p-positive DRG neurons. Intrathecal injection of miRNA-325-5p agomir remarkably reduced the upregulation of CCL2 in NCI rats. Administration of Bindarit, an inhibitor of CCL2, markedly raised the CRD threshold in NCI rats in a dose- and time-dependent manner. These data suggest that NCI suppresses miRNA-325-5p expression and enhances CCL2 expression, thus contributing to visceral hypersensitivity in adult rats.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the correlation of magnetic resonance (MR) T₂-weighted image (T₂WI) signal characteristics of adenomyosis and the efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation. METHODS: Based on the presence or absence of patchy hyperintense foci on preoperative MR T₂WI, the patients with adenomyosis undergoing HIFU treatment were divided into homogeneous signal group and heterogeneous signal group, and the heterogeneous group was further divided into heterogeneous hypointense group and heterogeneous isointense group according to signal intensity of the lesions. The patients in heterogeneous signal group were matched with the patients in the homogeneous group at a 1:1 ratio using the propensity score matching, and similarly, the patients in the heterogeneous hypointense group were matched with those in the heterogeneous isointense group at a 1:1 ratio. The non-perfused volume ratio (NPVR) and relief of dysmenorrhea were used to assess the therapeutic efficacy in the 4 groups. RESULTS: A total of 299 patients were enrolled, who had a median preoperative dysmenorrhea score of 7.0 (6.0, 8.0) and a median NPVR of 53.5% (35.4, 70.1)%. After propensity score matching, the NPVR in homogeneous signal group was significantly higher than that in heterogeneous signal group [(60.3 ± 21.8)% vs (44.6±21.6)%, P < 0.05]. At 3, 6 and 12 months after HIFU, dysmenorrhea relief rates were higher in homogeneous signal group than in heterogeneous signal group, and the difference was statistically significant at 12 months (91.1% vs 76.8%, P < 0.05). The NPVR of heterogeneous hypointense group was higher than that of heterogeneous isointense group [(54.0±22.0) % vs (47.3± 22.9) %, P < 0.05]. At 6 months after HIFU, dysmenorrhea relief rate was significantly higher in heterogeneous hypointense group than in heterogeneous isointense group (91.5% vs 80.9%, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The signal characteristics of adenomyosis on T₂WI are closely related with the outcome of HIFU ablation, and its efficacy is better for homogeneous than for heterogeneous adenomyosis, and better for heterogeneous hypointense adenomyosis than for heterogeneous isointense adenomyosis.
