Objective To survey the resistance profile of clinical isolates to antibiotics across the hospitals in Dongguan,Guangdong Province during 2015.Methods Kirby-Bauer method or automated system was used to test the susceptibility of clinical isolates to selected antimicrobial agents.Results were analyzed according to CLSI 2015 breakpoints.The susceptibility data were analyzed using WHONET 5.6 software.Results A total of 29 665 strains of microorganisms were isolated,of which gram positive cocci accounted for 32.1％ (9 509/29 665) and gram negative bacilli accounted for 67.9％ (20 156/29 665),respectively.The prevalence of methicillinresistant Staphylococcus was 23.3％ (705/3 024) in S.aureus and 43.6％ (1 054/2 419) in coagulase-negative Staphylococcus.No vancomycin-resistant staphylococcal strain was found.ESBLs-producing strains accounted for 36.4％ (2 554/7 020) in E.coli and 24.5％(792/3 227) in Klebsiella isolates.The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae was 0.2％ (30/13 077).The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) and carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) was 16.0％ (500/3 116) and 53.9％ (827/1 533),respectively.The prevalence of penicillin-resistant S.pneumoniae (PRSP) strains was 10.1％ (142/1 404).Beta-lactamase was produced in 30.6％ (276/902) of the H.influenzae strains.The prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) strains was 0.7％ (10/1 441).Conclusions Periodic surveillance of antimicrobial resistance is valuable for rational antimicrobial therapy,formulation of treatment guidelines and infection control and prevention measures,as well as preventing the spread of drug-resistant strains.

Objective To investigate the combined detection of serum cancer antigen(CEA)blank,carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125)and cytokeratin 19 fragment(CYFRA21-1),neuron specific enolase(NSE)in the diagnosis of solitary pulmonary nodules. Methods 150 cases of patients with solitary pulmonary nodules diagnosed in our hospital from January 2015 to March 2017 were selected as the research subjects,including 51 lung cancer patients(Lung Cancer Group)and 51 benign lung disease patients(benign group).60 healthy people in the same period were selected as control group.The serum levels of CEA,CA125,CYFRA21-1 and NSE were detected in three groups of patients,and the clinical value of the combined detection of various indexes in the differential diagnosis of solitary pulmonary nodules was analyzed.Results The serum levels of CEA,CA125,CYFRA21-1 and NSE in patients with lung cancer were significantly higher than those in the benign and control groups(P<0.05);The sensitivity of CEA,CA125, CYFRA21-1 and NSE in differential diagnosis of malignant solitary pulmonary nodules was 32.32%,27.27%,33.33% and 40.40%,respectively.The specificity was 62.75%,52.94%,60.78%,70.59,respectively;The sensitivity of CEA + NSE+ CY-FRA21-1+CA125 in the differential diagnosis of malignant solitary pulmonary nodules was 81.82%,the specificity was 88.24%, the rate of missed diagnosis was 18.18%,the misdiagnosis rate was 11.76%,the positive predictive value was 93.10%,and the negative predictive value was 71.43%.Conclusion The combined detection of serum CEA,CA125,CYFRA21-1 and NSE has im-portant clinical value in the differential diagnosis of malignant solitary pulmonary nodules.

Objective To analyze the serotypes and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of Group B Streptococcus (GBS) in perinatal pregnant women.Methods The vaginal and rectal specimens were collected from pregnant women at 35 to 37 weeks of pregnancy for culture and identification.The serotypes were analyzed using agglutination assay.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted by using Kirby-Bauer method,and interpreted according to 2009 CLSI breakpoints.The data were analyzed via WHONET 5.6 software.Results The prevalence of GBS was 10.4％ (264/2 533) in the 2 533 perinatal pregnant women.Serotype Ⅲ,Ⅰa and Ⅰb was identified in 54.9％ (84/153),17.6％ (27/153) and 13.1％ (20/153) of the GBS,respectively.All the GBS isolates were susceptible to penicillin,cefiriaxone and vancomycin.But 32.9％,68.1％ and 62.1％ of the isolates were resistant to levofloxacin,erythromycin and clindamycin,respectively.The antibiotic resistance rate of serotype Ⅲ isolates to the above three antibiotics was significantly higher than the other serotypes.Conclusions GBS may colonize both vagina and rectum of pregnant women.Vaginal and rectal secretions should be sampled simultaneously for better screening GBS.GBS serotype Ⅲ was the predominant serotype.Penicillin can be used as the first-choice treatment for GBS infections in pregnant women and newborns.GBS-positive pregnant women should be given the intervention treatment immediately to ensure the health of perinatal infants.

N1-methyladenosine(m1A)RNA methylation is critical for regulating mRNA translation;however,its role in the development,progression,and immunotherapy response of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC)remains largely unknown.Using Tgfbr1 and Pten conditional knockout(2cKO)mice,we found the neoplastic transformation of oral mucosa was accompanied by increased m1A modification levels.Analysis of m1A-associated genes identified TRMT61A as a key m1A writer linked to cancer progression and poor prognosis.Mechanistically,TRMT61A-mediated tRNA-m1A modification promotes MYC protein synthesis,upregulating programmed death-ligand 1(PD-L1)expression.Moreover,m1A modification levels were also elevated in tumors treated with oncolytic herpes simplex virus(oHSV),contributing to reactive PD-L1 upregulation.Therapeutic m1A inhibition sustained oHSV-induced antitumor immunity and reduced tumor growth,representing a promising strategy to alleviate resistance.These findings indicate that m1A inhibition can prevent immune escape after oHSV therapy by reducing PD-L1 expression,providing a mutually reinforcing combination immunotherapy approach.

Objective To investigate the antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical isolates in Dongguan Tungwah Hospital during 2016.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carded out for the clinical isolates collected from Dongguan Tungwah Hospital according to a unified protocol using Kirby-Bauer method or automated systems.Result were analyzed according to CLSI 2016 breakpoints.Results Of the 3 482 clinical isolates,gram positive cocci and gram negative bacilli accounted for 34.4％ (1 199/3 482) and 65.6％ (2 283/3 482),respectively.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains was in 28.7％ (86/300) in S.aureus and 77.7％ (300/386) in coagulase-negative Staphylococcus isolates.No staphylococcal strains were found resistant to vancomycin or linezolid.Overall,one E.faecium strain was identified as resistant to vancomycin by instrument method and confirmed by vancomycin E test.The prevalence of ESBLs-producing strains was 59.6％ (337/565) in E.coli and 29.8％ (115/386) in Klebsiella spp.(K.pneumoniae and K.oxytoca).Enterobacteriaceae strains were still highly susceptible to carbapenems.Overall,0.4％ and 0.2％ of the Enterobacteriaceae strains were resistant to imipenem and meropenem,respectively.About 38.3％ and 36.9％ of Acinetobacter strains were resistant to imipenem and meropenem,respectively.Conclusions Surveillance of antimicrobial resistance is most important and valuable for understanding the changing resistant pattern in local hospital and rational selection of antimicrobial agents.More attention should be paid to surveillance of antimicrobial resistance to avoid the spread of drug resistant strains.
