Chinese Journal of Infectious Diseases 2013;31(7):396-398
Objective To investigate the interaction of in vitro antibacterial activity between cefoperazone-sulbactam and imipenem against carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacterbaumannii.Methods The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of imipenem and cefoperazone-sulbactam against Acinetobacter baumannii were detected and the fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index of imipenem/cefoperazone-sulbactam combination was calculated by broth micro-dilution method.The interactions of imipenem and cefoperazone-sulbactam were assayed by K-B agar plate method.Results The MIC50 of cefoperazone-sulbactam and imipenem were both 16 mg/L,and MIC90 of the two drugs were both 64 mg/L.Among the 26 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii,16 strains had FIC indexes ≤0.5,and 10 had FIC indexes≥2.0.K-B agar plate assay showed that the cefoperazone-sulbactam/imipenem combination was synergistic for strains with FIC indexes≤0.5,and antagonistic for strains with FIC indexes ≥ 2.0.Conclusions Imipenem in combination with cefoperazone-sulbactam can be either antagonistic or synergistic against carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.The clinical use of cefoperazone-sulbactam/imipenem combination for the treatment of carbapenem resistance Acinetobacter baumannii infections should be cautious in case of antagonism.
8.Therapeutic effect of erythropoietin gene-modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation on rat cerebral infarction
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2014;(23):3664-3669
BACKGROUND:Previous studies have shown that erythropoietin can protect neurons and promote nerve regeneration. OBJECTIVE:To explore the therapeutic effect of erythropoietin gene-modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem celltransplantation via caudal vein on rat cerebral infarction. METHODS:Western blot assay was used to identify the expression of exogenous erythropoietin in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. A model of middle cerebral artery occlusion was established in Wistar rats using thread method. And then, model rats were randomly divided into model group (PBS injection via the caudal vein), transplantation group (transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cellsuspension), erythropoietin group (transplantation of erythropoietin-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cellsuspension). Neurologic function was assessed at 3 days, 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks after celltransplantation. Four weeks after transplantation, the rats were decapitated after anesthesia to take brain tissues for RT-PCR detection of Bcl-2/Bax gene expression. cellapoptosis was measured by TUNEL. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and fluorescence microscopy were employed to observe the survival and distribution of PKH26-labeled bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Western blot results showed that erythropoietin-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells could express the erythropoietin in vitro. At 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks after transplantation, the neurological defect scores in the transplantation group and erythropoietin group were significantly lower than those in the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01). The expression of bcl-2 gene in the infarct region was significantly higher in the erythropoietin group than the transplantation and model groups (P<0.05), but the expression of bax was significantly decreased (P<0.05). In the erythropoietin group, the number of apoptotic cells was reduced, and the number of PKH26 positive cells was increased as compared with the other two groups (P<0.05). These findings indicate that the transplantation of erythropoietin-modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells via caudal vein can significantly improve the neurological function in the rats with cerebral infarction.

Chinese Journal of Biotechnology 2014;30(7):1036-1043
Latrodectus tredecimguttatus (commonly known as black widow spiders) have toxins not only in their venom glands, but also in other parts of their body, in their eggs and even in the newborn spiderlings. The study on the toxins in venom and materials outside the venom glands of the spiders to elucidate their differences and similarities, evolutional relationship and biological functions is of important theoretical and applicable significance. The development of modern protein chemistry and proteomics techniques has provided efficient means for the study of protein and peptide toxins of L. tredecimguttatus. By using such techniques, the molecular base and action mechanism of the toxins can be revealed at the levels of both single purified proteins and omics. Up to now, although protein chemistry and proteomics study on L. tredecimguttatus toxins have achieved a certain progress, the relevant work particularly that on the toxins in the materials outside the venom glands has to be further deepened.

Journal of Peking University(Health Sciences) 2017;49(1):105-109
Objective:To evaluate the influence of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) solution used during root canal therapy on dentin bond strength.Methods:In the study,15 freshly extracted human third molars with complete dental crowns,caries and filling-free were selected.The occlusal enamel was removed perpendicular to the long axis of the tooth to expose middle flat surfaces of sound dentin.The occlusal dentin surfaces were then polished using 600-grit silicon papers for 1 min and rinsed with deionized water for 1 min.The teeth were randomly divided into three groups according to the treatment received:group A (negative control group),the samples were immersed in deionized water for 20 min;group B,the dentin surfaces were immersed in 2.50% NaOCl solution for 20 min,with the solution being renewed every 5 min;group C,the dentin surfaces were immersed in 5.25% NaOCl solution for 20 min,with the solution being renewed every 5 min.All the treated dentin surfaces were bonded using a self-etching adhesive system (SE bond) with a 5 mm in height resin composite (AP-X).After storage in deionized water at 37 ℃ for 24 h,the adhesive samples were sectioned longitudinally to produce 1.0 mm ± 1.0 mm stick specimens (n =45) for micro-tensile bond strength testing (MPa).Failure modes (adhesive failure,cohesive failure or mixed failure) at the dentin-resin interface were observed using a stereomicroscope.The micro-tensile bond strength data among the three groups were analyzed by a one-way ANOVA,then the Post-hoc test(LSD) was employed for pairwise comparison.The distribution of failure modes among the groups were analyzed by chi square test.Results:Significant decreased bond strength values were found for the 2.50% NaOCl-treated group (26.04 ± 5.74) MPa and 5.25% NaOCl-treated group (24.46 ± 3.77) MPa when compared with the strength of negative control group (48.71 ± 7.77) MPa,P =0.000.Compared with the negative control group,themicro-tensile bond strength of the 2.50% NaOCl-treated group and 5.25% NaOCl-treated grouphad dropped by 46.5% and 50.2%.However,there was no significant difference of bond strength between the 2 NaOCl-treated groups (P =0.214).The distribution of failure modes showed significant difference in all the three groups (2 =56.324,P =0.000).The mixed failure (68.9%) was the most mode of fracture in the negative control group,followed by adhesive failure (24.4%),and the cohesive failure was leas t (6.7%).The proportion of adhesive failure mode was higher in NaOCl-treated groups than in negative control group (P =0.000).There was no significant difference of the distribution of failure modes between the 2.50% NaOCl-treated group and 5.25% NaOCl-treated group(P =0.197),and there was no cohesive failure mode detected in the two groups.Conclusion:The micro-tensile bond strength of dentin to composite resin was lower after exposure to NaOCl solution.
