Objective To study the distribution of CTX-M-ESBLs and class Ⅰ integron in enterobacter cloacae resistant to third generation cephalosporins,and discuss the relationship between CTX-M-ESBLs and class Ⅰ integron. Methods K-B test for resistance;DDST and PCR for CTX-M-(ESBLs);PCR,nested-PCR and sequence analysis for finding class Ⅰ integron carrying CTX-M-ESBLs gene cassette. Results Among 37 strains,there are 21 isolates producing CTX-M-ESBLs,20 isolates with class Ⅰ integron and 13 isolates carrying CTX-M-ESBLs as well as class Ⅰ integron.In 3 isolates: CH4,CH11 and Q1,each class Ⅰ integron haboured CTX-M-ESBLs gene cassette. Conclusions There is few report on class Ⅰ integron carrying CTX-M-ESBLs,which caused more dangers of horizontal transmission of ESBLs and was important factor to nosocomial outbreak of multiresistant clinical isolates.

The electrical potential difference (PD) was measured across the wall of reverted intestinal sacs. The effect of the effective component of Rhubarb on transmural potential related to Na+ and glucose transport were investigated. It was found that total glucoside of Rhubarb, Emodin and Sen-nosides decreased the PD. The experimental resuilts provide new scientific basis for explaining the mechanism of Rhubarb's purgative action.

Objective To study the Genotype of local clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae producing extended spectrum ? lactamases. Methods K B test, conjugative transfer test, plasmid profile analysis, PCR, PCR RFLP, and DNA sequencing were used to detect the phenotype and genotype of 33 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae producing ESBLs. Results Eighty five percent of 33 isolates was resistant to cefotaxime which was obviously higher than that to ceftazidime. blaCTX M ESBLs was detected in 28 isolates by PCR, blaTEM DNA in 24 isolates, and blaSHV DNA in 9 isolates. Mutation of E104K was only identified in one TEM ? lactamase produced by EC98A7 by PCR RFLP. No substitution of G238S occurred in 9 SHV ? lactamases. DNA sequencing and DNA alignment showed the blaCTX M DNA fragments from 4 clinical isolates of EC98A7,EB56,CFR78 and, KP9941 belonged to CTX M type 1, with highest identity to blaCTX M 3 or blaCTX M 12 respectively. Conclusions CTX M ESBLs is carried in 85% isolates of Enterobacteriaceae producing ESBLs in this city. Most of the isolates carry 2 or more ? lactamases. E. coli EC98A7 produces two ESBLs, a TEM ESBL and a CTX M ESBL.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes of peristalsis of small intestine in guinea pigs after administration of traditional Chinese medicines activating blood to resolve stasis (Compound Danshen Decoction, CDSD) or/and medicines dredging intestines (Dachengqi Decoction, DCQD), and to explore the synergetic or intensive effect of CDSD on DCQD. METHODS: By means of BL-420 Biological Experimental System, peristalsis of small intestine was recorded and analyzed following administration of DCQD, CDSD or Huoxue Chengqi Decoction (HXCQD, compound of CDSD and DCQD) respectively in different experimental periods. RESULTS: The amplitude and frequency of intestinal peristaltic wave obviously increased following administration of the three decoctions, but HXCQD appeared to be most dominantly. CONCLUSION: The effect of DCQD can be further enhanced by combining use of CDSD, suggesting that the traditional Chinese medicines activating blood to resolve stasis have an intensive effect on medicines dredging intestines.

Objective To study the expression of active efflux pump AdeABC,AdeIJK,AdeFGH,AbeM,AbeS,CraA,MdtL in clinical Acinetobacter baumannii isolates and whether the efflux pumps confers resistance to antibiotics.Methods Thirty-two multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii islates and 10 sensitive isolates were collected.Genes of the exporter protein were amplified by PCR.The expression of adeB,adeJ,adeG,abeM,abeS,craA,mdtL were examined by real-time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR.The controlling genes adeRS and adeL were amplified by PCR and sequenced.Results The positivity rates of adeB,adeJ,adeG,abeM,abeS,craA,mdtL were 100％,100％,100％,96.88％,100％,100％ and 93.75％ respectively in 32 multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates,and all 100％ in 10 sensitive isolates.The difference of expression of adeB,abeM and mdtL were significant( P＜0.001,P =0.001,P=0.013) between 21 multi-drug resistant isolates of C clone and 10 sensitive isolates.The mutations of adeRS existed in 2 multi-drug resistant isolates,no point mutation of adeL.Conclusion The expression of AdeABC,AbeM and MdtL may involved in the resistant mechanisms of the clinical Acinetobacter baumannii islates.

Objective To study the expression of active efflux pump AdeABC in clinical Acineto-bacter baumannii islates and whether this efflux pump confers resistance to antibiotics. Methods The anti-biotic susceptibility and the function of efflux pump inhibitor were tested by micro-dilution broth method. The expression of adeB was examined by RT-PCR. The controlling gene adeRS was amplified by PCR and se-quenced. Results Thirty multidrug resistance Acinetobacter baumannii isolates and 5 sensitive isolates for PCR were both abtained the expected products of adeB and adeRS. The mRNA expression of adeB in 15 multidrug resistance(MDR) isolates were positive, but there was no expression of adeB in 5 sensitive iso-lates. The mutations of adeRS existed in 2 MDR isolates. Conclusion The expression of AdeABC may in-volved in the resistant mechanisms of the clinical MDR Acinetobacter baumannii isolates.
