Objective To evalue the ability of detecting the resistance of cefoxitin-sensitive,penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus by different methods and analyze the antibiotic susceptibility spectrum of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus which are non-mecA-mediated oxacillin resistance. Methods All the isolates were collected from Huashan hospital between 2007 and 2009. The isolates were recovered from various clinical sources, including respiratory tract, urine, secretion and sterile fluids samples. The oxacillin susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus was determined by cefoxitin disk diffusion test, cefoxitin MIC test,oxacillin disk diffusion test and oxacillin MIC test Likewise, the oxacillin susceptibility of coagulasenegative Staphylococcus was determined by cefoxitin disk diffusion test and oxacillin MIC test. All the isolates with sensitive to cefoxitin were screened for the mec A gene by PCR Finally, the MIC of non-mecA-mediated oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus were determined. Results Among 255 cefoxitin disk diffusion test sensitive and penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, 6 isolates were intermediated to oxacillin and 4 were resistant by oxacillin disk diffusion test, but all the isolates were sensitive by the cefoxitin disk diffusion test,cefoxitin MIC test and oxacillin MIC test. Among 75 cefoxitin disk diffusion test sensitive and penicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, 16 isolates were resistant to oxacillin by oxacillin MIC method and 4 carried mecA gene. Among 12 non-mecA-mediated oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus, the susceptible isolates of gentamicin is 10, clindamycin is 8, ciprofloxacin is 11, erythrornycin is 6, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazo]e is 11 ,and cephalosporins, teicoplaninl, vancomycin, piperacillin/tazobactam, tetracycline are all 12. Conclusions The cefoxitin disk diffusion test can reliably predict mecA-mediated oxacillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It would be best to combine cefoxitin disk diffusion test and oxacillin MIC test to improve accuracy of detection of mecA-mediated oxacillin resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus.Furthermore, infections due to the non-mecA-mediated oxacillin resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus can be treated by penicillinase-stable penicillins, β-lactam/β-lactam inhibitor combinations, relevant cephems and carbapenems.

Objective Cyclin D1 gene plays a significant role in regulating cell cycle progression.It is reported that over-expression of cyclin D1 gene is intimately associated with origination,development and prognosis of tumor and is associated with tumor cells resistance to chemotherapy drug.Suppression of cyclin D1 protein expression leads to cellular chemosensitization.This study was to determine whether this effect also existed in chronic leukemia cell line K562 by inhibiting the expression of cyclin D1 protein through RNA interference.Methods Plasmid vectors expressing small hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting at cyclin D1 gene were constructed and transfected into K562 cells by chitosan.Cyclin D1 protein was examined using Western Blotting analysis.The cell cycle and apoptosis were determined by flow cytometry.Cellular chemosensitization was evaluated by MTY assay.Results Expression of cyclin D1 protein was markedly down-regulated after transfection with pshRNA-419 and pshRNA-575 at 48 h.Down-regulation of cyclin D1 protein could affect the redistribution of cell cycle,induce apoptosis of K562 cells,decrease 50%inhibitoryconcentration (IC50) of adriamycin and enhance cellular chemosensitization.But there had no above biological effects observed after transfection with blank vector and control vector of m-pshRNA-790 at 48 h.ConclusionK562 cells could be chemosensitized by the down-regulation of cyclin D1 expression through RNA interference.
