Objective To analyze the β-lactamases-producing Escherichia coli which were isolated from hospital specimens from Jun 2012 to Dec 2014,and provide a more accurate evidence to guide drug-selecting for antibacterial use.Methods An-alyzed 1 587 E.coli from patient sample selected between Jun 2012~Dec 2014 using the microbial analysis system manufac-tured by ZHUHAI DL BIOTECH CO.LTD,A phenotypic test was also conducted to test ESBLs.Results 1 587 stains of E-.coli were isolated,which counted for 23.9% of the specimens;901 stains (56.8%)out of total 1 587 stains appeared to be ESBLs-producing E.coli,and others were non-ESBLs-producing E.coli.The 1 587 Escherichia coli mainly came from De-partment of Urology (408,weight 25.7%),Department of Endocrinology (271,weight 17.1%),Department of Respiration (249,weight 15.7%).Rine specimen contributed 609 stains (47.3%),411 E.coli stains (31.9%)were discovered in spu-tum samples,and 83 stains (6.5%)showed in blood samples.The resistance to imipenem were discovered in the analysis. The rates of resistance to penicillins,cephalosporins were over 90.0%,the rates of resistance to Levofloxacin,ciprofloxacin were above 70.0%,and resistance rates to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid,Ticarcillin-clavulanic acid,piperacillin/tazobactam, amikacin were lower than 7.7%.Conclusion The drug-resistance of the E.coli were increasing over the past three years. There was a significant portion of MDR and PDR present in the trend.Thus,the reinforcement of the drug-resistance survey and testing have a far-reaching meaning to promote rational drug selecting.

AIM: To investigate the effect of microRNA (miR)-30c on the viability and migratory ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by targeting plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1).METHODS:The HUVECs were transfected with miR-30c mimic and inhibitor or negative control (NC), and then the expression levels of miR-30c, PAI-1 mRNA and protein were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot.The viability and migratory ability of HUVECs were measured by CCK-8 assay and wound healing test .After bioinformatic analysis, the assessment of miR-30c binding to PAI-1 3’-UTR was carried out using a luciferase reporter gene assay .RESULTS:miR-30c directly down-regu-lated PAI-1 levels by binding to the 3’ UTR seed sequence of PAI-1 mRNA.Furthermore, transfection of a miR-30c mimic down-regulated the expression of PAI-1 at mRNA and protein levels, leading to enhanced migratory ability and viability of the HUVECs.However, transfection of a miR-30c inhibitor up-regulated the expression of PAI-1 at mRNA and protein le-vels, leading to decreased migratory ability and viability .CONCLUSION:Regulation of miR-30c level changes the migra-tory ability and viability of HUVECs by affecting the PAI-1 expression, indicating the involvement of miR-30c in modulating endothelial function .

Objective:To explorethe the clinical manifestations, treatment and prognosis of anastomotic pseudoaneurysm after renal transplantation caused by infection.Methods:Clinical data of 1 recipient with pseudoaneurysm after renal transplantation due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection were retrospectively analysed and combined with a literature review. Results:At Month 2 post-transplantation, the recipient developed right lower abdominal pain, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination showed a pseudoaneurysm at the artery anastomosis. Anti-infection and anti-rejection therapy had no obvious effect, and therefore next surgical exploration was performed. A size4.0 cm×3.5cm pseudoaneurysm was found intraoperatively at the graft renal artery anastomosis.After graft was evaluated as having no preservation value, the transplanted kidney and pseudoaneurysm were resected. Bacterial culture indicated Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.The recipient recovered well and waited for next transplantation. Conclusions:Pseudoaneurysm of transplanted kidney is a very rare complication after renal transplantation, and caused by infection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is more rarer, It has not been reported in mainland China.This type of recipient has the characteristics of high graft inactivation rate and high mortality rate. Timely surgical resection can effectively prevent the deterioration of disease.

Objective To explore the effect of mesenteric lymphatic ligation on liver injury induced by severe acute pancreatitis. Methods 54 SD rats are randomly divided into sham-operation group (A), severe acute pancreatitis group (B) and severe acute pancreatitis and ligation group (C). Liver tissues were collected from each rat in 6, 12, and 24 h after ligation. Pathological changes in liver tissues were observed by haematoxylin and eosin staining. Levels of serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase and glutamic oxalacetic transaminase were detected. Levels of TNF-α and IL-1 in liver homogenate were examined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results Under light microscopic examination, neutrophils and inflammatory exudate in hepatic lobule was increased as time prolonged in group B. Inflammation was reduced in group C as compared with group B.Levels of serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase and glutamic oxalacetic transaminase were more significantly increased in groups B and C than in group A (P<0.05);while they were more significantly decreased in group C than in group B. Levels of TNF-αand IL-1 in liver homogenate were significantly increased in group B as compared with group A (P < 0.05); whereas they were more significantly decreased in group C than in group B at 24 h (P < 0.05). Conclusions Mesenteric lymphatic ligation can reduce liver injury in severe acute pancreatitis. Mesenteric lymphatic fluids may play an important role in severe acute pancreatitis.

Objective:To study the effects of Ophiocordyceps xuefengensis on proliferation of DC -CIK cells and the activity of killing HepG-2 cells by DC-CIK cells.Methods:Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were routinely isolated and induced into DC and CIK.DC and CIK co-cultured by 1∶5 for 7 days,then Ophiocordyceps xuefengensis were added into medicine group ,observed the mor-phology of the cells on the tenth day and counted the DC-CIK number of each group.DC-CIK cells acted as effector cells and the HepG-2 cells as target cells , cck-8 method for the detection of DC-CIK in the killing rate of HepG-2.Results: The Ophiocordyceps xuefengensis was able to proliferate the DC-CIK dramatically ,the optimal concentration was 0.1 mg/ml.Cultivation of Ophiocordyceps xuefengensis induced DC-CIK cells on HepG-2 cells killing effect was better than that of the routine method of DC-CIK cells; the effection of Ophiocordyceps xuefengensis killing HepG-2 cells was not obviously.Conclusion: Ophiocordyceps xuefengensis can enhance the anti-tumor activity of DC-CIK mainly by promoting the proliferation of it.

Objective:To explore the correlation between thyroid hormone content and treatment outcome in patients with biphasic disorder (BPD) and depressive disorder (DPD) before and after treatment.Methods:From June 2017 to June 2019, 72 patients with BPD(BPD group), 46 patients with DPD(DPD group) who met the diagnostic criteria of International Statistics and Classification of Disease and Health problems-10th Edition (ICD-10) in the Third People′s Hospital of Jiangmen, and 20 normal controls(control group) in our Hospital were enrolled in this study.The serum concentrations of total thyroxine (TT 4), total triiodothyronine (TT 3) and high sensitivity thyrotropin (HS-TSH) were measured at baseline, and the above hormone concentrations were measured in the study group after treatment for 12 weeks.The 17 Hamilton depression scale (HAMD-17) and Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA), Bech-Rafaesdn Mania Rating Scale(BRMS) were used to evaluate the severity of symptoms at baseline and at the end of treatment.The curative effect was compared between the two groups, and the correlation between the curative effect (score reduction rate) and thyroid hormone level (concentration change) was observed. Results:At baseline, the concentrations of TT 4, TT 3 of patients with depressive phase in BPD group[(54.75±12.26)nmol/L, (86.26±15.29)nmol/L] were lower than those in the control group[(145.64±12.15)nmol/L, (156.78±36.54)nmol/L], and the TSH level in BPD group[(68.97±5.98)mIU/L]was higher than that in the control group[(45.59±9.28)mIU/L]; the levels of TT 4, TT 3 of patients with manic and mixed phase in BPD group[(166.75±12.25)nmol/L, (186.36±35.15)nmol/L] were higher than those in the control group, and the level of TSH in BPD group[(7.87±3.56)mIU/L] was lower than that in the control group; the concentrations of TT 4, TT 3 in DPD group[(65.59±23.11)nmol/L, (92.21±19.36)nmol/L] were lower than those in the control group, and the TSH level in DPD group[(69.38±14.75)mIU/L] was higher than that in the control group, the differences were ststistically significant ( t=5.867, 4.657, 2.369, 2.789, 3.247, 6.356, 4.358, 3.265, 2.365, all P<0.05). After treatment for 12 weeks, there were no statistically significant differences in TT 3, TT 4, HS-TSH concentrations among the three groups (all P>0.05). After treatment for 12 weeks, the scores of HAMa+ d, BRMS in BPD group and DPD group were significantly lower than those at baseline ( t=8.854, 12.321, 6.756, all P<0.05). The score of HAMa+ d was negatively correlated with TT 4, TT 3 concentrations, and positively correlated with HS-TSH concentration.The score of BRMS was positively correlated with TT 4, TT 3 concentrations, and negatively correlated with HS-TSH concentration. Conclusion:The level of thyroid hormone in patients with biphasic disorder and depressive disorder is different from that in normal subjects, and the level of thyroid hormone is closely related to the curative effect.

Objective To investigate the cause and related risk factors of an outbreak caused by Brucellosis. Methods Epidemiological investigation and laboratory test were carried out among occupationally invloved population including sheep slaughters and sellers in the village. Results 18 people were serology positive among the 129 occupationally involved persons under survey. Seven of them were confirmed cases,11 were latent infection,to make the overall attack rate as 14%. 90%of the sheep were from high-risk areas of Brucella. Among the occupationally involved persons,89%of them never wore face masks,84%never wear overalls and 70%never wear gloves. Factors as:work but wearing no gloves(RR=7.4,95%CI:1.1-53.0),with hand wound(RR=3.4,95%CI:1.1-11.0) could increase the risk of Brucella infection. Conclusion The cause of this outbreak was due to the plentiful influx of unchecked sheep from the northern part of China and the employees in the process of sheep slaughtering or trading were lack of effective prevention programs.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the research status and developmental trend of open-access patents at home and abroad of radioactive decontamination technology for human body surface. METHODS: The basic information of open-access patents related to human body radioactive decontamination was searched and collected from the IncoPat Global Patent Database. Based on patent analysis method, the number of patent application, legal status, patent types, application trends, applicants, functional application fields, and citations were analyzed and compared, with focus on their research and development capabilities in domestic and foreign patent application status.RESULTS: A total of 981 patents of radioactive decontamination technology for human body surface were retrieved. Among them, 144 were domestic(14.7%) and 837 were from abroad(85.3%). After merge, 207 patents were confirmed, 88 were from domestic(42.5%) and 119 from abroad(57.5%). The top 5 countries with the most patents were China, Japan, the United States, France and Germany with patent amount of 88, 47, 20, 14 and 13 respectively,accounting for 87.9%(182/207) of all patents. Japan had a large number of patents with a stable growth; France and Germany started patent research very early; the United States focused on technology inheritance; Chinese patent applications are developing rapidly, followed by South Korea, and Russia had few open-access patents. Chinese patent applicants were mainly from Beijing with major enterprises and government organizations. Patents in China had few patent family, foreign patents had a wide distribution, 35.3% of which had more than five of the same family. The proportions of valid patents, utility model patents and patents of integrated device & technology in China were higher than that from abroad(35.2% vs 17.6%, 53.4% vs 3.4%, 62.5% vs 26.9%, P<0.01). The proportion of domestic patents citing other patents in China was lower than that from abroad(13.6% vs 52.1%, P<0.01), but the proportion of Chinese patents cited by other patents showed no statistical significance compared with that of abroad(27.3% vs 39.5%, P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Patents of radioactive decontamination technology for human body surface in China have developed rapidly in recent years. Patent emphasis is placed on integration and multifunctionality. However, the awareness of patent protection and regional layout is not strong enough, and the technical level needs to be improved. It is suggested to propose strategic deployment as soon as possible and strengthen technological research, development and innovation.
