Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2011;18(18):2497-2499
ObjectiveTo investigate clinical effect of eradication of helicobacter pylori in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP). Methods145 cases with HP-positive ITP paitients were divided into two groups( platelet counts results < 50 × 109/L and platelet counts results > 50 × 109/L). 95 cases with platelet counts <50 × 109/L were divided into two groups and treated with prednisone and Hp eradication(48 cases) or with prednisone without Hp eradication(47 cases). 95 cases with platelet counts > 50 × 109/L were divided into two groups and treated with Hp eradication 25 cases)or follow-up without any treatment(25 cases). ResultsThe total effective rate in group treated with prednisone and Hp eradication was significantly higher than that in group with prednisone without Hp eradication( 92% vd 75%, x2 = 5.01 ,P < 0.05 ). The recurrence rate in two year in group treated with prednisone and Hp eradication was significantly lower than that in group with prednisone without Hp eradication( 19% vs 49%,x2 = 9. 69, P < 0. 01 ). HP eradicatiaon single can improve platelet counts in HP-positive ITP paitients.ConclusionThe detection and eradication of H pylori infection should be considered in patients with ITP. H. pylori eradication could be used for initial treatment in HP-positive ITP paitients.

Objective To study the effect of serum leptin in “two hits” of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods Fasting serum leptin(LEP) ,malondialdehyde(MDA) ,hyaluronic- acid(HA) ,type Ⅲ procollagen ( PCⅢ), laminin ( LN), and type Ⅳ collagen ( Ⅳ-C ) were detected in 43 simple nonalcoholic fatty liver( NAFL ) patients ,41 NASH patients and 40 healthy subjects. Insulin resistance was estimated by HOMA value and its relatio nship with leptin level in NAFLD was analyzed. The severity of lipid peroxidation was estimated by MDA and its relationship with leptin level in NAFLD was analyzed. The relationship of serum fibrosis markers with leptin level in NAFLD also was analyzed. Results Serum leptin, HOMA value in NAFLD were higher than those of healthy controis. MDA,PC Ⅲ 、Ⅳ-C 、LN 、HA in NASH were higher than those of healthy controls or simple NAFL patients. ,HOMA value, in NAFLD positively correlated with leptin. MDA, PC Ⅲ、 Ⅳ-C 、LN、HA in NASH positively correlated with leptin. Conclusion Serum leptin closely correlated with insulin resistance which results in “First hit” of NAFLD. There was certain relationship of leptin with “Second hit” of NAFLD. Leptin should be one of the factors which result in liver fibrosis.

Objective To explore the mechanism of therapeutic action of needle knife “regulating sinews and treating bones” on knee osteoarthritis (KOA) by observing the effect of needle knife intervention on KOA rabbit behaviors, mechanical characteristics of patellar ligament (PL), and expressions of interleukin-4 (IL-4), matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) and aggrecan in knee cartilages.Methods Forty New Zealand rabbits were randomly allocated to blank, model, needle knife and electroacupuncture groups, 10 rabbits each. A rabbit model of KOA was made by the modified Videman method of immobilization in extension position. After model making, the needle knife and electroacupuncture groups received needle knife and electroacupuncture treatments, respectively. A behavioral assessment was made using the modified Lequesne MG knee grade evaluation method in every group after model making and treatment. The samples were taken after treatment. PL tension, stress relaxation and creep state were tested using a Bose Electro Force 3300 protracted test machine. Cartilage cell IL-4 expression was examined by ELISA. MMP-3 mRNA and aggrecan mRNA expressions were detected by real-time PCR.Results After model making, there was a statistically significant difference in the Lequesne MG score between the model and blank groups (P<0.01); there was no statistically significant difference in the Lequesne MG score between the needle knife or electroacupuncture group and the model group (P>0.05). There was a statistically significant post-treatment difference in the Lequesne MG score between the needle knife or electroacupuncture group and the model group (P<0.01,P<0.05) and between the needle knife and electroacupuncture groups (P<0.05). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in PL maximum stress, maximum displacement, elastic modulus, stress relaxation rate and creep rate between the model and blank groups (P<0.01,P<0.05). There were statistically significant post-treatment post-treatment differences in PL maximum stress, maximum displacement, elastic modulus, stress relaxation rate and creep rate between the needle knife and model groups (P<0.01,P<0.05). There was a statistically significant post-treatment difference in elastic modulus between the electroacupuncture and model groups (P<0.01). The IL-4 content and aggrecan mRNA expression decreased significantly and MMP-3 mRNA expression increased significantly in the model group after model making and there were statistically significant differences compared with the blank group (P<0.01,P<0.05). After treatment, the IL-4 content increased significantly in the needle knife and electroacupuncture groups compared with the model group (P<0.01,P<0.05) and aggrecan mRNA expression tended to increase in the two groups. The regulation of aggrecan mRNA and MMP-3 mRNA expressions was better in the needle knife group than in the electroacupuncture groups, but there was no statistically significant difference compared with the model group (P>0.05).Conclusion The mechanism of action of needle knife treatment on KOA may be that it improves ligament mechanical characteristics, regulates intra-articular stress environment, and modulates aggrecan mRNA and MMP-3 mRNA expressions and inhibits cartilage degeneration through IL-4 mechanical signal pathway, to produce the therapeutic effect of “regulating sinews and treating bones”.

Objective To understand the epidemic characteristics of an outbreak of panresistance Klebsiella pneumoniae occurred between 2006 and 2009 in a university hospital of Shanghai, China. Methods A total of 57 panresistance K. pneumoniae isolates were collected from August 2006 to December 2009.Antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates were determined by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method and microbroth dilution (MBD). ESBLs-producing initial screen test and phenotypic confirmatory test and carbapenemase-producing modified Hodge test ( MHT) were performed to detect the resistance phenotype of the isolates. Be-ta-lactamases were studied by IEF, PCR and the product sequencing. While conjugation assay were conducted to understand the transferability of these genes. The genetic relationship between isolates was established by ERIC-PCR and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Except for the antibiotics recommended by CLSI guideline in the routine test, the other antibiotics were added to find out the effective drugs to treat the infection. Results All 57 isolates were highly resistant to all examined antibiotics. All isolates produced ESBLs and carbapenemase. IEF revealed that each isolate produced four beta-lactamases. All isolates carried blaKPC-2,blaCTX-M-14,blaSHV12,blaTEM-1,qnrB and aac(6') - I b-cr. Forty-four of the 57 (77.2% ) isolates were successful to transfer their resistance genes to E. coli recipient J53 by conjugation assay. By RAPD, all 57 isolates were grouped into two genotypes that were further identified as members of MUST types 423 and 11.Sequence types 423(ST423) only occurred before May 2008 and ST11 occurred (52 isolates) after May 2008. Most of isolates of the outbreak were ST11 (91. 2% ). A part of isolates were susceptive to added antibiotics. Conclusion The outbreak of panresistance K.pneumoniae was caused by those isolates which carried multiple resistant genes. There is a different ability of dissemination between different ST types K. pneumoniae isolate. It was necessary to add the antibiotics to find out the effective drugs to treat the infection.

Objective To reduce the turnaround time for laboratory diagnosis of bacteremia, the feasibility of rapid identification and susceptibility testing using samples taken directly from positive blood culture bottles was evaluated. Methods The growth of microorganisms in blood culture bottles was screened by the BACTEC 9000 blood culture system. 65 positive blood culture bottles containing gram-negative bacteria were adopted to test. Culture fluid was injected into BD SST vacutainer and centrifuged to pellet blood cells. After collecting required McFarland units, they were cultured on Phoenix 100 NMIC/ID-4(identification-gram-negative bacteria and susceptibility testing) cards using 0.25 McF and 0.5 McF methods respectively. They were also evaluated by the standard method, involving subculture tests from positive blood culture bottles. Results 63 of 65 gram-negative bacteria (96. 9% ) were correctly identified with 0. 25 McF method. 59 of 65 gram-negative bacteria(90.8% ) were correctly identified with 0.5 McF method. For antimicrobial susceptibility testing, the 0.25 McF direct method had an agreement rate more than 94% , the 0.5 McF method was more than 85.7% and direct blood sample KB method was more than 93.8% compared to the standard method. But the overall minor error rate in susceptibility testing of direct blood sample KB method is higher than other methods. Conclusion Applying 0. 25 McF and 0. 5 McF rapid identification and susceptibility test was practical. During to possessing more prominent advantages, laboratory put the 0. 25 McF direct method into practice had a timely, remarkable significance.
