Objective To investigate the genotype and variance of toxin associated genes of moxifloxacin‐resistant Clostridium difficile clinical isolates in Sydney .Methods Twenty‐two moxifloxacin‐resistant Clostridium difficile clinical isolates were collected from Sydney ,which were genotyped by using sequencer capillary gel electrophoresis based PCR‐ribotyping ,and toxin A and B cod‐ing gene tcdA and tcdB ,and binary toxin coding gene cdtA and cdtB were detected by using PCR method .Toxin regulator gene tc‐dC was analyzed by using PCR‐sequencing ,and was aligned with reference sequence of VPI 10463 (Genbank accession number :X92982) ,and the tcdC sequence types of all 22 isolates were identified by using blast tool in NCBI .Results Twenty‐one isolates were genotyped as hypervirulent PCR‐ribotypes 027 (RT027) ,and one isolate as RT078 ;all 22 isolates contained tcdA and tcdB for toxin A and B and cdtA and cdtB for binary toxin (tcdA+ tcdB+ cdtA+ cdtB+ ) .The tcdC sequence types of the 21 RT027 i‐solates belong to sc1 ,and that of the one RT078 isolate belongs to WA39 .Compared with tcdC reference sequence of VPI 10463 ,a consecutive 18 bp deletion (nt341 to 379) and one nucleotide deletion at position 117 were found in the 21 RT027 isolates ,and a consecutive 39 bp deletion (nt330 to 368) and one nucleotide mutation at position 184(C> T) were found in the one RT078 isolate . Conclusion Clostridium difficile hypervirulent RT027 was the common moxifloxacin resistant genotype ;Clostridium difficile hy‐pervirulent RT027 and RT078 clinical isolates contained genes for toxin A and B and binary toxin ,and contained gene sequence mu‐tation in toxin regulator gene tcdC .

Objective To investigate the genotype and production of toxin A and B of C .difficile clinical isolates collected from Sydney ,Australia .Methods Sixty‐eight C .difficile clinical isolates were collected from Westmead Hospital ,the University of Sydney ,which were genotyped by using PCR‐ribotyping ,and toxin A ,B coding gene tcdA ,tcdB were detected by using PCR meth‐od .Results Thirty‐one PCR‐ribotypes (RTs) were confirmed in the 68 C .difficile clinical isolates ,RT014 (19 .1% ) and RT002 (11 .8% ) were the common genotypes .Sixty‐four of 68 (94 .1% ) isolates contained tcdA and tcdB for toxin A and B .Conclusion The common prevalent PCR‐ribotypes of C .difficile were RT014 and RT002 in Sydney ,most of the C .difficile clinical isolates contained toxin A and B .

Objective To study the significance of serum hepatitis B virus large envelope protein (HBV-LP),HBV DNA and HBeAg in the diagnosis of viral replication.Methods In 623 chronic HBV patients,HBV-LP and HBeAg were detected by ELISA and HBV DNA was quantitaively detected by realtime polymerase chain reaction(PCR).Results The positive rate of HBV-LP and HBV DNA were higher than that of HBeAg in all chronic HBV patients(x2 =22.3 and 9.4,P <0.01),and the positive rate of HBVLP and HBV DNA was no significant difference (x2 =2.8,P > 0.05),The positive rate of HBV-LP and HBV DNA detected in HBeAg(+) or HBeAg(-) were not significantly different(x2 =3.2 and 0.6,P > 0.05).HBV DNA copies and A vaule of HBV-LP was a positive correlation(r =0.874,P <0.01),HBV DNA copies of different groups was significantly different from HBV-LP A values(F =6.987,P <0.01).In 100 healthy people,the detecting results of HBV DNA and HBV-LP are negetive.Conclusion HBV-LP was better than HBeAg for detection of HBV replication.There is a good correlation between the copies of HBV DNA and the levels of HBV-LP,HBV-LP expression can reflect the replication of HBV.

Objective:To explore the application of 1 565 nm non-ablative fractional laser in the treatment of enlarged facial pores.Methods:It was a longitudinal cohort study. From September 2020 to September 2021, 68 patients with enlarged facial pores, including 5 male patients and 63 female patients, aged between 20 and 41 (29.3±4.6) years, were treated at the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of Ningbo Sixth Hospital. They received 1 565 nm non-ablative fractional laser once every month for a total of 3 times. The number, score and percentile ranking of facial pores before and after treatment were recorded and compared by VISIA, and adverse reactions were observed.Results:The facial pores number before and after treatment were 890.75±312.61 and 834.37±289.94, the facial pores score were 25.76±1.08 and 24.81±8.59, respectively, indicating a statistically significant decrease in facial pores number and score compared to before treatment ( t=4.19, 2.65, P<0.05). The facial pores percentile ranking before and after treatment were 4.00% (2.00%, 7.00%) and 5.00% (2.25%, 8.00%), respectively, indicating a statistically significant increase in facial pores percentile ranking compared to before treatment ( Z=-3.35, P<0.05). Three patients had transient pigmentation, all of which were gradually faded within 1 month after the last treatment. One patient had a few inflammatory papules scattered on the cheek, which faded in 3 days by using erythromycin eye cream. Conclusions:The 1 565 nm non-ablative laser can effectively improve enlarged facial pores with light adverse reactions.
