AIM To study hypoxia reoxygenation induced apoptosis of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes and the roles of nitric oxide in this process. METHODS Cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were divided into two groups. Cells of one group were cultured in an incubator of 950 mL?L -1 N 2 and 50 mL?L -1 CO 2 for 16 h, 32 h and 48 h followed by normal incubation for 6h to form the cell model of hypoxia reoxygenation injury.Cells of another group were cultured in the same hypoxia condition for 16 h, 32 h and 48 h. Before they were put in normal condition for 6 h, NO donor SNAP was added to the media to form the final concentration of 100 ?mol?L -1 . Apoptosis was detected by TUNEL and flow cytometer. RESULTS Apoptotic cells were detected by TUNEL after hypoxia of 16 h, 32 h and 48 h followed by 6 h reoxygenation and the apoptotic rates of cardiomyocytes were (5 5?0 7)%, (11 0?1 1)% and (14 2?1 6)% respectively detectedby flow cytometer. The apoptotic rates of myocardiums with SNAP were (3 2?0 7)%, (7 8?0 7)% and (10 9?1 0)% respsctively. CONCLUSION The apoptotic rates of cardiomyocytes undergoing hypoxia reoxygenation injury increase with time of hypoxia; NO can inhibit apoptotic rates of cardiomyocytes in this pathological process and thus may have a protective effect on cardiomyocytes.

Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) is a tool that uses the intrinsic nature of local magnetic fields to enhance image contrast in order to improve the visibility of various susceptibility sources. SWI has blood oxygen levels dependent effect and is sensitive to the change of the cerebral oxygen saturation. This imaging method is applied to various diseases with abnormal deoxyhemoglobin concentration, such as ischemic stroke and cerebral arteriovenous malformation. Patients with acute ischemic stroke have elevated levels of deoxygenated hemoglobin in the affected area, so the ischemic area can show abnormal venous imaging on SWI images. SWI could recognize penumbra and guide the management of patients with acute stroke. Besides, SWI also could evaluate the severity of symptoms, predict prognosis and future surviving state. This paper reviews the research progress of the prominent hypointense vessels sign and its application in acute ischemic stroke.

Because the brain and kidneys share a common basis for small vessel lesions, the related research on cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is gradually increasing. The development of neuroimaging technology has significantly increased the detection rate of CMBs, but there is still controversy over whether CKD will increase the incidence of CMBs. This article reviews the relationship between CKD and CMBs, pathogenesis, biomarkers, and treatment.

Objective To analyze the aminoglycoside ( AG ) antibiotics resistance rate of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ( CRKP ) and its molecular mechanisms.Methods One hundred and four strains of CRKP isolated from 4 hospitals in Zhejiang Province from January 2013 to June 2014 were collected, including 56 strains from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital , Zhejiang University School of Medicine ( S hospital ), 22 from the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine ( Z hospital), 13 from Yiwu TCM Hospitals (Y Hospital) and 13 from Fuyang First People's Hospital (F Hospital).VITEK 2 Compact method and K-B disk method were used to detect the susceptibility of commonly used antibiotics including three kinds of AGs (kanamycin, gentamycin and amikacin ).PCR and sequencing techniques were used to screen the aminoglycoside resistance -related 16S rRNA methylation genes (rmtA, rmtB and armA) and the aminoglycoside modified enzyme resistance gene [aac(6′)Ⅰb].The relationship between drug resistance and carrier status of drug resistance genes was analyzed .Homologous analysis of rmtB-positive strains was performed using PFGE to examine the epidemic spread of strains in each hospital.Results All 104 CRKP strains were multi-drug resistant and had high resistance to cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones ( ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin ) and nitrofurantoin.The resistance rates to gentamicin, kanamycin and amikacin were 73.1%(76/104), 64.4%(67/104) and 56.7%(59/104), respectively.The carrying rates of aminoglycoside-resistance genes were: rmtB 56.7%( 59/104 ), aac (6′)Ⅰb 17.3%(18/104), armA 1.9%(2/104); while no rmtA was detected.Thirty-seven strains did not carry the screened genes.Amikacin-resistant strains were resistant to both kanamycin and gentamicin, and both were rmtB-positive strains.The PFGE classification results showed that 104 strains were divided into 11 clonal populations, and there were scattered non-population clones in each hospital. There were seven major clonal populations (Ⅰ-Ⅶ) carrying rmtB genes, of which typeⅠ, typeⅢand typeⅤwere prevalent in S hospital ; typeⅡ, typeⅥand TypeⅦwere popular in Z hospital ; the distribution of strains in Y hospital was scattered ; F hospital had one independent clone type Ⅳ(3 strains).Conclusion AGs still have certain sensitivity to CRKP strains.The main mechanism of strain resistance to AGs is the rmtB gene-mediated 16S rRNA methylase.
