Objective To analyze the distribution and antimicrobial resistance of pathogenic bacteria in urinary tract infection (UTI)so as to provide evidence for appropriate selection of antimicrobial agents in clinical practice. Methods From January 2001 to December 2008 in Shanghai Ruijin Hospital,4683 strains of pathogenic bacteria isolated from urine samples were detected by ATB system;drug susceptibility test was performed with disk diffusion method and pathogenic bacteria distribution and drug resistance was analyzed with WHO NET 5.3 software. Results Among 4683 strains of pathogenic bacteria,most was gramnegative bacilli,accounting for about 77.8%,of which predominant strain was Escherichia coli (68.7%,3217/4683).The predominant strain of gram-positive bacteria was Enterococcus faecalis,accounting for 10.0%(468/4683).Escherichia coli showed hish resistance rotes to ampicillin,piperacillin and compound snlfamethoxazole(SMZ-TMP),which were 76.6%,61.7%and 57.4%respectively,while a low resistance to imipenem,cefoperazone-sulbactam,piperacillin-tazobactam,Enterococcus faecalis showed high resistance rates to erythromycin,gentamicin and levofloxacin,which were 65.8%,43.2%and 31.1%respectively,and were most susceptive to vancomycin and teicoplanin, both with resistance rates of 0. The susceptibility rate of Enterobacteriaceae to imipenem was 100%. From 2006 to 2008, the detection rate of extend-spectrum β-lactamases ESBLs -producing Escherichia coil in outpatient increased year by year, from 28.7% to 43.3% (P＜0.05), whereas no significant change was found in inpatients. The detection rate of (ESBLs)-producing Escherichia coil in inpatients was significantly higher than that in outpatients (P＜0.05).The detection rate of ESBLs-producing Escherichia coil was 23.6%. The antimicrobial resistance rate in elderly patients was significantly higher than that in overall antimicrobial resistance rote (P＜0.05). Conclusions The predominant bacteria of UTI are still gram-negative bacteria, main of which is Escherichia col. Bacteria are resistant to a variety of antibiotics. Approximate selection of antibiotics in clinical practice should be made on the basis of susceptibility test results.

Objective To construct a eukaryotic expression plasmid carrying the PKCI-1/HINT1 gene,to investigate its expression in A375 melanoma cells after transfection,and to evaluate its effects on apoptosis and autophagy of A375 cells.Methods The PKCI-1/HINT1 gene sequence was amplified by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) with total RNA extracted from A375 cells as the template,then inserted into the eukaryotic expression plasmid PCDNA3.1 (+) to construct a recombinant plasmid,PCDNA3.1 (+)-PKCI-1/HINT1.Some A375 cells were classified into two groups to be transiently transfected with the recombinant plasmid (PCDNA3.1 (+)-PKCI-1/HINT1 group) or the empty plasmid PCDNA3.1 (+) (control group).After additional 48-hour culture,RT-PCR and Western blot analysis were performed to quantify the mRNA and protein expressions of PKCI-1/HINT1 respectively,Hoechst 33342 staining was conducted to detect apoptosis of A375 cells,Western blot analysis to detect the expressions of intracellular caspase-3 and autophagy-associated protein beclin1,and cell autophagy was observed by using the green fluorescent protein (GFP)-microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) labelling method combined with confocal laser scanning microscopy.Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was performed to evaluate the proliferative activity of A375 cells at 24,48,72 and 96 hours after transfection.Results Enzyme digestion and sequencing analysis confirmed that the eukaryotic expression plasmid PCDNA3.1 (+)-PKCI-1/HINT1 was successfully constructed and effectively expressed in the transfected A375 cells.MTT assay showed that PKCI-1/HINT1 could obviously inhibit the proliferation of A375 cells,and the number of live cells was decreased by 17.0％,25.6％ and 29.4％ in the PCDNA3.1 (+)-PKCI-1/HINT1 group at 48,72 and 96 hours,respectively,compared with the control group (all P ＜ 0.05).Hoechest 33258 staining revealed that PKCI-1/HINT1 could promote the formation of apoptotic bodies in A375 cells.Confocal laser scanning microscopy demonstrated that the overexpression of PKCI-1/HINT1 increased GFP-LC3 puncta formation in A375 cells.In addition,Western blot analysis indicated that PKCI-1/HINT1 up-regulated the protein expressions of caspase-3 and beelin1 in A375 cells.Conclusions The eukaryotic expression plasmid PCDNA3.1 (+)-PKCI-1/HINT1 was successfully constructed,and PKCI-1/HINT1 could be effectively expressed in A375 cells.High-level expression of PKCI-1/HINT1 could suppress cellular proliferation,promote apoptosis,and induce autophagy,of A375 cells.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate preliminarily the efficacy on functional constipation treated with electroacupuncture of different acupoint prescriptions.

METHODSOne hundred and four patients were randomized into a front-mu and back-shu points group (19 cases), a he-sea points group (34 cases), a he-sea, front-mu and back-shu points group (26 cases) and a western medication control group (25 cases). In the front-mu and back-shu points group, electroacupuncture was applied at bilateral Tianshu (ST 25) and Dachangshu (BL 25). In the he-sea points group, electroacupuncture was applied at bilateral Quchi (LI 11) and Shangjuxu (ST 37). In the he-sea, front-mu and back-shu points group, electroacupuncture was applied at unilateral Tianshu (ST 25), Dachangshu (BL 25), Quchi (LI 11) and Shangjuxu (ST 37). In the three groups above, the treatment was given 5 times a week in the first two weeks and 3 times a week in the next two weeks. In the western medication control group, mosapride citrate tablets were prescribed for oral administration, 1 table (5 mg) each time, 3 times a day, continuously for 4 weeks. The period of research was 9 weeks, including 1 week for baseline evaluation, 4 weeks for treatment and 4 weeks for follow-up. The weekly defecation frequency was taken as primary index, while the defecation difficulty and life quality score were taken as the secondary indices for the efficacy evaluation after treatment and in follow-up.

RESULTSAccording to the intention-to-treat (ITT) analytic principle, 104 cases were all enrolled in the final analysis. (1) After treatment, the weekly frequency of defecation was all increased significantly in the four groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The efficacy of the three electroacupuncture groups was similar to that of western medication control group (P > 0.05). In follow-up, the increasing effect on the weekly frequency of defecation was maintained in the he-sea points group (P < 0.01), superior to the front-mu and back-shu points group and the western medication control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); the weekly frequency of defecation was not improved in the rest three groups (P > 0.05). (2) After treatment, defecation difficulty was relieved in the he-sea points group, the he-sea, front-mu and back-shu points group and the western medication control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). In follow-up, the improvements were still significant in the he-sea points group and the he-sea, front-mu and back-shu points group (both P < 0.01). (3) After treatment, the life quality score was significantly improved in the patients of the he-sea points group (P < 0.05). The difference was not significant in the rest three groups as compared with that before treatment (all P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe weekly frequency of defecation is increased effectively after treatment in the three electroacupuncture groups and the efficacy is similar to mosapride citrate tablets. The bilateral Quchi (LI 11) and Shangjuxu (ST 37) in he-sea acupoints increase significantly the weekly frequency of defecation, relieve defecation difficulty and improve life quality. Acupuncture efficacy is sustained for 4 weeks. This acupoints prescription is the best in the treatment of functional constipation.
