Objective To identify mutations in the OSMR gene in a pedigree with familial primary cutaneous amyloidosis (FPCA).Methods Clinical data were collected from a pedigree with FPCA.Peripheral blood samples were obtained from the proband,his 19 relatives,and 50 unrelated healthy human controls.Genomic DNA was extracted from these blood samples,and subjected to PCR for the amplification of 18 encoding exons and their flanking sequences of the OSMR gene followed by DNA sequencing.Results A heterozygous missense mutation c.2081C ＞ T,which leads to the substitution of proline by threonine at position 694,was detected in the OSMR gene of the proband and his affected relatives,but not in unaffected relatives or healthy controls.Conclusion The heterozygous mutation p.P694L in the OSMR gene may cause the clinical phenotype of FPCA in this family.

Objective To investigate the molecule phenotype, epidemiology, and resistance genes of the New Delhi metallo- β-lactamase-1 ( NDM-1 ) producing Klebsiella pneumoniae ( K. pneumoniae ) . Methods Retrospective study was made on one hundred and ten non-repetitive carbepenem-resistant K. pneumoniae clinical isolated strains, which were collected from January 2011 to December 2012 in our hospital. The minimal inhibitory concentrations ( MICs ) of antibiotics were tested by the GN13 cards of BioMerieux Company. Modified Hodge test were used for the detection of carbapenemases. The blaNDM-1 encoding gene and linkage of ISAba125-NDM were detected by PCR method. The purified PCR products were cloned and sequenced. The homology of the K. pneumoniae were analyzed by the multilocus sequence typing ( MLST ) . Plasmid conjugation experiment and curing method were used to study the transfer of bacterial resistance. The Fisher′s exact probability test was used to compare the data. Results 13% NDM-1-producing K. pneumoniae were detected and confirmed as blaNDM-1 by sequencing (14/110). The resistance rates of the 14 NDM-1-producing K. pneumoniae strains to imipenem, meropenem, ertapenem, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, amikacin, and aztreonam were 14/14, 14/14, 13/14, 10/14, 9/14, 5/14, and 11/14. Meanwhile, the positive rate of ISAba125-NDM linkage of those 14 NDM-1-producing K. pneumoniae strains was 14/14. The E. coli J53 transconjugants, whose MICs of imipenem, meropenem, and ertapenem were increased by 4 to 64 times, were blaNDM-1 gene and ISAba125-NDM linkage positive. In addition, it was showed that the blaNDM-1 gene and ISAba125-NDM linkage were located on a plasmid with a size of approximately 65 000 bp. Conclusions The NDM-1 producing K. pneumoniae strains in this study were resistant to many commonly used antibiotics, however, the resistance rate to aminoglycoside and aztreonam were relatively low. The carbapenemase-resistant genotype spread by blaNDM-1 carried plasmid. Attention should be paid to its easily transmissible feature among the strains in clinic. The insertion sequence ISAba125 may be involved in the blaNDM-1 gene mediated carbapenemase-resistant genotype.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the value of CT using different equipment and scanning methods in preoperative localization of insulinoma and to investigate the possible causes that might influence the detection ratio on CT. METHODS: A total of 47 patients with insulinomas confirmed by operation and pathologic examination from 1990 were collected, and the related clinical information and imaging data of CT were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: The diagnostic accuracy for conventional CT with conventional enhancement scanning, spiral CT with pancreatic phase scanning, and multislice spiral CT with dual phasic enhancement scanning were 35.3%, 57.1%, and 81.3%, respectively, and the overall diagnostic accuracy of CT was 57.4%. The diagnostic accuracy of multislice spiral CT was greater than that of conventional CT (P<0.01). For the 2 phases of dual phasic imaging, arterial phase and portal phase had a detective rate of 75.0%and 62.5%, respectively. None of the main clinical information was related to the detection ratio on CT. The detection rate of lesions with diameter of > or =1.5 cm was significantly higher than that of <1.5 cm (76.2%vs. 42.3%). Typical appearance of the lesions on CT was isoattenuation on plain scanning, and enhanced considerably after contrast enhancement. CONCLUSION The size of lesion is the major factor that influences the detection of insulinoma on CT. Multislice spiral CT with dual phasic enhancement scanning has a relatively high detection rate and is recommended for preoperative localization of insulinoma.
