1.The progress in defensin research
Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2015;(9):831-834
Defensin is a cysteine-rich, low molecular weight and cationic antimicrobial peptide. Human breast milk con-tains high level of defensin. The defensin in human breast milk can not only inhibit the growth of various pathogenic microorgan-isms, but also promote the development of infant immune system and reduce the incidence of infantile upper respiratory infection. Nowadays, the roles of defensin in breast milk is more recognized. This paper focuses on the molecular characteristics of human defensin, its antibacterial and antiviral roles, and the latest progress in defensin research.

Increasing evidence has proved that inflammation plays an extremely important role in tumorigenesis.As the most representative biomarker for inflammation,C-reactive protein (CRP) has been considered to be critically associated with the prognosis of a variety of malignant tumors,like renal cancer.Numerous studies have shown that CRP is a significant prognostic factor for renal cancer patients treated with surgery,cytokine therapy or molecular-targeted therapy,and CRP has been incorporated into some prognostic algorithms for renal cancer.

Objective To observe the influences of different anesthesia methods or adjuvant chemotherapy on hemorheological parameters in patients with cervical cancer.Methods Sixty pa-tients with cervical cancer were equally randomized into two groups.Patients in group A received three courses of chemotherapy preoperatively while those in group B did not.The patients of group A and B were divided respectively into two subgroups,combined epidural general anesthesia group (groups A1 and B1),general anesthesia group (group A2 and B2).Blood samples were taken for the hemorheological measurement at 5 min before induction of anesthesia,60 min after induction of anes-thesia and at the end of surgery.Results Red cell deformability index (EDI)was significantly lower in group A than that in group B;Erythrocyte rigidity index (ERI)and blood viscosity were higher in group A compared with those in group B (P <0.05).In groups A1 and B1,EDI,plasmic viscosity packed ERI,and ERI were all lower than those before anesthesia induction (P < 0.01 );while in groups A2 and B2 Hct decreased.Conclusion The patients of cervical cancer after chemotherapy showed some hemorheological changes characterized by a lowered EDI.Combined general and epidural anesthesia can significantly improve the above parameters.

Objective To analyze the efficiency and specificity of MSP2 alleles genotyping for Plasmodium falci-parum isolates by Nest-PCR and PCR-RFLP. Methods MSP2 alleles from Plasmodium falciparum isolates of Yunnan and Hainan were genotyped by Nest-PCR and PCR-RFLP, respectively, and the efficiency and specificity of the two me-thods were analyzed. Results The conventional Nest-PCR method could detect 79.8% (166/208) alleles of MSP2,and 65.7% (65/99) for 3D7 family, but could not identify the type of any allele. While PCR-RFLP showed 25.3% higher genotyping efficiency than Nest-PCR. Moreover, this method could identify the allele types. Conclusion PCR-RFLP genotyping technique is more efficient and specific than conventional Nest-PCR, and it is a convenient tool in the study on molecular epidemiology of malaria.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the homology of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(KPN),offering help for clinical therapy and nosocomial infection control.METHODS The antimicrobial-resistant phenotype of forty carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae strains was analyzed by the WHONET 5.4 soft and the resistant genotypes were determined by plasmid profile analysis and pulse-field gel electrophoresis(PFGE).RESULTS Analyzing antimicrobial-resistant phenotype to usual eighteen clinical drugs,the main drug resistant profiles were pan-resistant and only sensitive to tobramycin among the eight antimicrobial-resistant profiles(72.5%).Additionally,the main strains were type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ among the five strains analyzed by plasmid profile(82.5%).When analyzed by PFGE,five types were identified and among these strains type Ⅰ was predominant in 34 strains(85.0%).CONCLUSIONS The strains used in this study exhibit higher homology.Therefore,clinical departments and nosocomial infection departments should pay more attention to these strains to avoid outbreak.

METHODS We detected 36 kinds of drug resistance genes for the strain of KPN by PCR method,included the beta-lactamases genes,blaTEM,blaSHV,blaLEN,blaOKP,(blaCTX-M-1,2 and 9) groups,(blaOXA-1,2 and 10) groups,CARB,PER,VEB and GES; the genes of metallo-beta-lactamases genes,IMP,VIM and KPC; the AmpC genes,DHA,ACT,MOX and LAT; the aminoglycosides resistant genes,aac(3)-Ⅰ,aac(3)-Ⅱ,aac(6')-Ⅰb,aac(6')-Ⅱ,ant(2″)-Ⅰ and ant(3″)-Ⅰ; the quinolones resistant gene qnr; the TMP resistant genes,dfrA1 and dfrA17; the disinfectant-sulfanilamide resistantgene,qacE△1-sul1;the integron genes,intⅠ-1,intⅠ-2 and intⅠ-3; and the transposon genes,tnpA and merA.RESULTS We found 9 kinds of drug resistance genes in this KPN isolate. They were the beta-lactamases genes,blaTEM and blaSHV; the metallo-beta-lactamasesgene blaKPC-2; the aminoglycosides resistant genes,aac(3)-Ⅱ and ant(3″)-Ⅰ; the quinolones resistant gene qnr; the TMP resistant gene dfrA17; the disinfectant-sulfanilamide resistant gene qacE△1-sul1 and the integron genes intⅠ-1. CONCLUSIONS We discovere multiple drug resistant genes (some in the chromosome,some are plasmid-mediated) in this isolate. We also find the infrequent plasmid-mediated drug resistant gene blaKPC-2. We think it's concerned with the pan-resistant and the multi-drug resistant genes in this KPN,and we must pay highly attention to this isolate in clinic.

Aim To observe the effect of ZDY102, a C25 stereo-isomer of ZMS, the active component of Zhimu, on brain M receptor density of dementia model animals and the correlation with its effect on learning/memory ability. Methods The rats were randomly divided into five groups: control group, model group, model given orally for 2 months with 3.6 mg?kg -1?d -1 of ZDY102 treatment, model treated with 9.0 mg?kg -1?d -1 of ZDY102, and model treated with 18.0 mg?kg -1?d -1 of ZDY102. Dementia model was produced by single unilateral injection of 4 ?l of normal saline containing 4 ?g of ?-amyloid (25~35) and 1 ?g of ibotenic acid into right basal ganglion region with the aid of a stereotaxic equipment. The brain muscarinic receptor density was analyzed with single-site binding assay using 3H-quinuclidinyl benzilae(QNB). The learning/memory ability was measured by Y-maze performance. Results Two months after model production, the learning and memory ability as well as the density of muscarinic receptor in brain were significantly decreased in model rats compared with those in control rats. Parallel models treated with daily oral administration of ZDY102 for two months improved in learning and memory ability and their muscarinic receptor density was significantly increased when compared with model rats. The correlation coefficient between total M receptor densities and the learning/memory ability was significant when examined with linear regression. Conclusion ZDY102 can significantly improve the learning and memory ability and increase the brain muscarinic receptor density of the model. Since brain muscarinic receptors are closely correlated to learning and memory, up-regulation of M receptor density might play a very important role in the therapeutic effect of ZDY102.
