OBJECTIVETo analyze virulence genes and molecular characteristics of Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolated from sporadic cases with diarrhea in tow sentinel hospitals of Shanghai, 2010-2012.

METHODSA total of 2 729 stool samples were collected from two surveillance sentinel hospitals in Shanghai 2010-2012. Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains were isolated and identified from diarrhea out patients using TCBS agar plates and biochemical reactions. Thermostable direct hemolysingene (tdh), thermostable-related hemolysin gene (trh), hemolysin gene (tlh) were detected by multiplex PCR method. Isolates were analyzed by PFGE and MLST. The PFGE profiles were analyzed using BioNumerics software.

RESULTSA total of 30 clinical Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains isolated from 2 729 stool samples. The anually Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolation rate during 2010 to 2012 were 1.1%(11/973), 1.0%(11/1 120) and 1.3%(8/636) respectively. The PCR positive rates of virulence genes tlh, tdh and trh were 100%, 97% and 0 respectively. The Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains were divided into 13 PFGE types (P1-P13)and 3 ST types (ST-189, ST-799, ST-3). Among 13 PFGE types, P4 was the main PFGE type, accounting for 30%(9/30). P9, P10 were accounting for 12% (4/30) respectively, P1, P2, P12, P13 were accounting for 7%(2/30) respectively, the others types were 3%(1/30) respectively. MLST analysis results showed there are three ST types, ST3 was 84%(25/30), ST189 and ST799 were accounting for 13% (4/30) and 3% (1/30) respectively.

CONCLUSIONThe infection rate of Vibrio parahaemolyticus was not very high from 2010-2012 in Shanghai, all strains were positive for tlh and negative for trh. ST3 was the major type of Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of patients with primary gastro-intestinal marginal zone lymphoma (MALT).

METHODSRetrospective analysis was performed in 90 patients diagnosed with primary gastro-intestinal MALT lymphoma clinical characteristics and survival analyses.

RESULTSAmong 90 patients, 78 cases were originated from the stomach and 12 cases with extra-gastric origin. Eighty patients were classified as low-risk (IPI score 0-2), and 10 patients high-risk (IPI score 3-5). Compared to gastric MALT patients, extra-gastric cases presented with higher IPI score (7.7% vs 33.3%, P=0.025) and higher Hp infection rate (50.0% vs 87.2%, P<0.01). Treatment options for low risk patients (IPI score 0-2) included Hp eradication, surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Chemotherapy could improve progression-free survival (PFS) in low-risk patients. For high-risk patients, those receiving chemotherapy had 100% 3-year overall survival (OS). Univariate analysis revealed that ECOG (P=0.006), Mussh-off staging (P=0.008), IPI score (P=0.000), elevated LDH (P=0.019) and chemotherapy (P=0.026) were correlated with PFS. Multivariate analysis showed that higher IPI score (IPI 3-5) (OR=8.325, 95% CI 3.171-21.853, P=0.000) and chemotherapy (OR=0.319, 95% CI 0.121-0.838, P=0.020) were independent prognostic factors for PFS. ECOG (≥ 2) was independent prognostic factor for OS (OR=5.092, 95%CI 1.005-25.788, P=0.049).

CONCLUSIONPrimary gastro-intestinal MALT lymphoma was an indolent subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Patients usually had low risk IPI and achieved long-term survival. Frontline therapy for low-risk patients was radiotherapy or Hp eradication, and chemotherapy for high-risk ones.
