Objective To study the isolation and antimicrobial resistance of pathogens isolated from patients with brain damage in hyperbaric oxygenation department,so as to provide reference for clinical anti-infective treatment.Methods Bacterial culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing results of pathogens isolated from blood,sputum,and urine specimens of 975 patients with brain damage in the hyperbaric oxygenation department of a hospital between January 2013 and December 2014 were analyzed retrospectively.Results A total of 1 328 strains of pathogens were detected,877(66.04%)of which were gram-negative bacteria,213(16.04%)were gram-positive bacteria,and 238(17.92%)were fungi.The top five isolated pathogens were Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Escherichia coli,Acinetobacter baumannii,and Candida albicans.Specimens mainly isolated from sputum and urine,accounting for 58.59%and 35.24%respectively,resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Acinetobacter baumannii,and Escherichia coli to imipenem were 16.67%,81.82%,82.44%,and 4.65%respectively.Vancomycin-resistant strains was not found among gram-positive bacteria,resistance rates of Enterococcus faecalis to most antimicrobial agents were lower than those of Enterococcus faecium.Conclusion Respiratory and urinary tract infection account for most of the infection in patients with brain damage in hyperbaric oxygenation department,gram-negative bacteria are the predominant pathogens causing infection.

Objective To investigate the effects of supplementing qi and activating blood circulation method(YQHX) on platelet inhibition rate and platelet membrane glycoprotein in elderly patients with unstable angina pectoris undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods Totally 177 elderly patients with unstable angina(qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome) pectoris were randomized into two groups:90 cases in the treatment group and 87 cases in the control group.Both groups received conventional western medicinal treatment,for 14 days but YQHX was added to the treatment group.Platelet inhibition rate and platelet membrane glycoprotein were measured before and 14 days after treatment.Results After 14 days of treatment,the platelet inhibition rates induced by arachidonic acid (AA) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) were significantly increased in the treatment group in comparison to pre-treatment and to control group respectively(P<0.01).The prevalence of aspirin and clopidogrel resistance were lower in the treatment group than in the control group(8.9% vs.21.8%,11.1% vs.25.3%,both P<0.05).After 14 days of treatment,the expression rates of CD62p,CD63 and PAC-1 were significantly lower in the treatment group than in pre-treatment and control group respectively (P<0.01).Conclusions YQHX might effectively inhibit the platelet function and reduce the prevalence of aspirin and clopidogrel resistance in elderly patients with unstable angina pectoris undergoing the percutaneous coronary intervention.

This paper directs against the weakness and difficulties of applying conventional fuzzy control method to temperature control, and designs a sort of self-adaptive fuzzy control algorism with intelligent integration which can be applied to a general temperature controller for medical experiment. The practice proves that the control performance is preferable to conventional control, and has good flexibility and robustness.

Objective To clone the telomere-associated protein T-STAR and study the relationship between T-STAR and the telomerase catalyzed subunit hTERT in mammalian cells. Method The expression vector pGBKT7-hTERT was constructed and acted as a decoy in cDNA library screened by yeast two-hybrid technology. Recombinant vectors pVP16-T-STAR and pM-hTERT were constructed and co-transfected with report gene CAT into SGC-7901 cells with liposome. pM-53+pVP16-T and pM3-VP16 were introduced as positive controls, pM-53+pVP16-CP as negative control, and pM-hTERT+pVP16, pM+pVP16-T-STAR and pM+pVP16 as crossing negative controls. The expression of CAT was assayed by ELISA. Results The eukaryotic expression vector pGBKT7-hTERT was successfully constructed. One positive clone achieved by cDNA library screening was sequenced and compared with the isogenous sequences in GenBank by Blast software via Internet. As a result, T-STAR, a recorded cDNA sequence was obtained. The recombinant vectors of pVP16-T-STAR and pM-hTERT were constructed successfully and co-transformed into gastric cancer cells SGC-7901. The OD value of reported gene CAT was 0.258, which was significantly higher than that of the negative and crossing negative controls (0.002-0.015). It revealed that T-STAR interacted with hTERT in the mammalian cells. Conclusions T-STAR interacts with hTERT in the gastric cancer cells. T-STAR may be a new member of telomere-associated protein, and it participates in the regulation of telomerase through hTERT.

Objective To study and observe the engraftment of donor cells from unrelated cord blood into adult patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) and the outcome of allo-CBSCT. Methods Six patients received cord blood provided by Guangzhou Cord Blood Bank, for three of which one unit of cord blood was given in a procedure, whereas for other 3 patients, 2 units of cord blood were infused at the same time in a transplant protocol. In all 9 units of umbilical cord blood (UCB) infused, UCB units contained 1.6 ~ 10.7 nucleated cells/kg body weight of the recipient after thawing. The patients were conditioned with decreased dosage of immunosuppressive agents of CTX (60?mg/kg) and ALG (120?mg/kg). The engraftment state of the donor cells into recipients was confirmed by microsatellite DNA fingerprinting and fluorescent quantitative PCR analysis. Results Engrafted evidence has been found in 5 patients by molecular biology analyses showing donor-recipient mixed chimerism post transplant which was stable and persistent. After a median follow-up of 21 months (range 7~50), 4 patients were alive and disease free. One patient died of severe infection in the 3rd month from transplant, though the evidence of engraftment was obvious. Another patient also died in the early stage posttransplant of serious aspergillus infection without the engrafted proof.Conclusion Durable donor-recipient stable mixed chimerism can be achieved by unrelated UCBT in patients with SAA. Umbilical cord blood could be employed as a source of hematopoietic stem cell for adult transplantation.

Objective To explore the possibility of cytochrome P-450 3A5 (CYP3A5) genotype as a major factor to guide individualized employment of cyclosporin A(CsA) through a comparative study of CsA concentrations in the peripheral blood of hemopoietic stem cell transplant recipients with different CYP3A5 genotypes. Methods Olymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to genotype CYP3A5 gene, and CsA concentrations were detected by a commercial fluorescence polarization immunoassay. Result There were significant differences in CsA concentrations, including standardized trough concentrations C0 and two h peak concentrations C2 , in the two CYP3A5 genotypes found in our samples, and both C0 and C2 in wild homozygotes were lower than heterozygotes. Conclusion CYP3A5 polymorphism is highly associated with CsA concentrations in hemopoietic stem cell transplant recipients, and CYP3A5 genotype may be a predictor to the dose requirement before clinically employment of CsA.

Objective To elucidate the effect of ex vivo expansion of umbilical cord blood (UCB) mononuclear cells (MNCs) on their implantation capability and the hematopoietic reconstitution, and to find a feasible way of applying ex vivo expanded UCB MNCs to clinical transplantation.Methods UCB MNCs were cultured in short-term in serum-free medium with different early acting cytokines combinations in order to observe the amplification result and cells apoptotic difference. The 6-day expanded cells were transplanted into sublethally irradiated NOD/SCID mice to assess the implantation and the hematopoietic reconstitution of the survival mice.Results UCB MNCs reached the best amplification result between day 6 and day 10 with the contribution of SCF, FL, IL-6 and IL-3 in common and the presence of Annxin V on the surface of cells obviously decreased. Six weeks after transplantation, CD45, CD34, CD33, CD3 and CD19 antigen could be detected by FCM on BM, spleen and thymus cells of the alive mice and the human specific Alu and Cart-Ⅰ repetitive sequence could be detected in the DNA obtained from peripheral blood by PCR.Conclusion After 6-day effective expanding with SCF+FL+IL-6+IL-3 UCB MNCs can be implanted into NOD/SCID mice successfully and contribute to reconstitute the multiple hematopoiesis.
