Objective:To study the antigenicity of OMP extracted from Edwardsiella tarda.Methods:ELISA, Bactericidal test, Agglutinating test and Western blotting were used for testing the antigenic titers and immunogenicity of OMP.Results:In immunoblotting, by using ATCC15947 OMP antibody, the non pathgenic strains were negative, while all pathogenic strains except Et 122 gave positive results and had OMP bands of 33k, 35k, 38k, and 45k. OMPs of both ATCC 15947 and JEL4 could induce high antibody titers. Further more, the antibodies evoked by OMPs of ATCC 15947 of 33k or 35k could also protected mice to some degree when diluted.Conclusion:The 33k, 35k, 38k, and 45k of OMPs may be protective antigens, and the OMPs of Et could be a candidative component for vaccine.

Objective To compare sequence analysis of the yeast-like fungal isolates with traditional methods and analyze the feasibility of identification of common yeast-like fungal by sequence analysis of gene. Methods 115 yeast-like fungal isolates were collected in the clinical laboratory of Beijing Tongren Hospital. DNA of yeast-like fungal was extracted and then amplified with universal primers of part of 18S rRNA genes followed by sequencing directly. The sequences obtained were submitted to the GenBank (NCBI) to identify the fungi. At the same time, the CHROMagar Candida and Vitek 32 YBC were used to identify the fungi. The identification accuracy with three methods was compared to explore the feasibility of the identification of sequence analysis. Results 18S rRNA gene sequence analysis was compared with traditional method. There were some differences in the identification results of 13 strains. The coincidence rate between CHROMagar Candida and sequence analysis was 89. 2% (91/102) and the coincidence rate between Vitek 32 YBC and sequence analysis was 91.3% (105/115). The positivity rate of species-level identification by CHROMagar Candida , Vitek 32 YBC and the 18S rRNA gene sequence analysis were 88. 7 % ( 102/115 ), 100% ( 115/115 ), 100% ( 115/115 ). Conclusion Identification of medically important yeast-like fungal by sequence analysis of the 18S rRNA gene is reliability.

Objective To study the mechanism of the resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii to common antibiotics.Methods Bacterial susceptibility test to ?-lactamatic antibiotics,quinolones,aminogiycosids were done by the Kirby-Bauer method and agar dilution method for 35 isolates.Penicillin-beta-lactamase,AmpCs,Metallo-beta-lactamase,ESBLs were detected by iodine-starch test,3-dimension test,microbiology sensitivity synergic test,disc agar diffusion method respectively.Outer membrane protein was analyzed by SDS-PAGE.Accumulation of ciprofloxacin was determined by direct Fluorescence method.The gene of Tem-1,aac-4 and gyrA were amplified by PCR while the gyrA was sequenced.Results 28 isolates were multi-resistant to common antibiotics in 35 isolates.16 isolates produced Penicillinase,10 isolates produced Cephalosporinase,2 isolates produced metal-beta-lactamase,3 isolates produced ESBLs.The analysis of outer membrane proteins showed that a protein of 29kD disappeared and 26kD protein enhanced in resistant isolates.The accumulation of ciprofloxacin in resistant isolates decreased.After treatment with NaN_3,the drug uptake increased to the normal level.Most of [QX(Y8]Tem-1 gene were positive except 2 drug resistant and 3 sensitive isolates.All of [QX(Y8]aac-4 were negative while gyrA were positive.DNA sequencing analysis revealed there had point mutation in the gyrA gene.Conclusion Beta-lactamase,active drug efflux,outer membrane protein permeability decreasement and gene mutation were the factors contributing to the antibiotics resistance of Abaumannii.

Objective To explore a rapid method for classification of microorganisms.Methods The electrophorese fingerprinting, direct sequence of 16S rDNA and 16S-23S rDNA ISR after PCR, multiplex PCR for 16S rDNA and antibiotic resistance genes, were utilized to explore fast approaches of extracting total DNA from different clinical specimens.Results The specific 16S-23S rDNA ISR fingerprinting fragments were shown on the genus or species level in bacteria and fungi.So fingerprinting can be used to identify pathogenic microorganisms, to differentiate the evolution relations or to set the phylogenetic tree by comparing their DNA banding patterns with those of standard strains (NCCLS). Multiplex PCR was able to examine the special genes of genus or species, mecA gene, TEM, SHV and CTX gene in staphylococcus and ESBLs(E.coli or K.pneumoniae) at the same time.Conclusion The part of 16S rDNA sequencing and 16S-23S rDNA ISR genotypes by gel electrophoreses were useful for bacterial species identification in addition, it was clearly more rapid and accurate than culture technique, and the large numbers of strains can easily be examined.Multiplex PCR could provide a good method for identification of microorganisms and analysis of antibiotic resistance at the same time.

Objective To summarize clinical characteristics, diagnosis and surgery of abnormally origination of left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery. Methods Clinical data of 10 patients with left coronary artery abnormally originating from pulmonary artery were analyzed, including 5 men and 5 women, aged from 13 to 40 years. Definite diagnosis was made by ultrasonic cardiogram (UCG) and cardiac catheter examination. Three cases were simply abnormal origination, six cases combined with MI, and one case combined with both MI and ventricular aneurysm of left ventricular apex. Ligation of the abnormal coronary artery was done in four patients, three were given pulmonary artery inner tunnel plasty under extrocorporeal circulation. Open implantation of left coronary artery to ascending aorta were done in 3 patients, while plasty of mitral valve were performed in 5 and ventricular aneurysm resection in 1. Results One patient died postoperatively. The follow-up ranged from 1 month to 11 years. One patient received replacement of mitral valve 16 months after first surgery due to severe MI. All the followed-up patients presented no myocardial ischemia or infarction, no residual shunt or late death. Cardiac function was rehabilitated to grade 1. Conclusion Obvious blood dynamics and cardiovascular morphology changes existed in patients with left coronary artery abnormally originating from pulmonary artery. Early diagnosis and surgery should be done. Proper surgical approach is the key to success.

Objective To explore pre C and YMDD motif mutant of hepatitis B virus during lamivudine therapy. Methods From five chronic hepatitis B patients with serum HBeAg seroconversion but HBV DNA positive by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) following lamivudine therapy, sequences of the pre C and P genes of hepatitis B virus were analyzed by direct PCR product sequencing methods. Results All the five patients were observed to have G to A variations at nucleotide 1896. However, such mutations were observed only in 2 of the 5 patients before HBeAg seroconversion emerged. Meanwhile YMDD mutations were found in all the five patients during lamivudine therapy three of which were M552I mutants, two were M552I associated with L528M. One of the five patients had no reaction to the therapy, four had HBV DNA breakthrough during therapy. Conclusions The mutants of pre C associated with YMDD mutations may arise in the patients with HBeAg seroconversion and positive HBV DNA during the treatment of lamivudine. HBV DNA should be detected in the patients with HBeAg seroconversion to exclude the pre C mutation.

BACKGROUND: Recent studies indicate that after indirect co-culture of neonate rat myocardial cells and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into myocardial cells successfully. OBJECTIVE: To induce human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) to differentiate into endothelial cells using human umbilical vein endothelial cells by indirect co-culture. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: In vitro study of cell engineering was done at the Medical Research Center of Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital between January and July 2007. MATERIALS: Small quantities of bone marrow were obtained from 11 children with congenital heart disease but without hematologic diseases through manubrium of sternum puncture in the congenital heart defect corrective surgery after the permission of family member. Umbilical cord of full-term normal delivery healthy newborn was provided by the Department of Obstetrics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. Fresh cattle jugular vein was provided by Guangdong Dali Meat Cattle Butchery. METHODS: The hBMSCs were isolated and purified using density gradient centrifugation method and were cultured in vitro. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were obtained from newborn umbilical cord by enzyme digestion. Cell culture insert with semipermeable membrane combined with 6-well plate was used to do indirect co-culture induction. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were expanded in the cell culture insert, passage 3 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were expanded in the 6-well plate outside the culture insert at the density of 1?105 cells/well, the initial ratio of the two kinds of cells was 1:5, then low-glucose DMEM culture solution containing 10% fetal bovine serum was added, cells were cultured for 14 days. Co-culture of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was used as control. Introduced endothelioid cells were cultured and then seeded on the cell-free cattle jugular vein intravascular stent. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Morphology changes of induced cells; introduced endothelioid cell surface antigen detected through immunocytochemical staining; the growth and adhesion condition of endothelioid cells on the intravascular stent observed under scanning electronic microsope. RESULTS: The morphologies of introduced endothelial cells were uniform, introduced endothelial cells presented a cobblestone-like appearance, they amplified fast and expressed endothelial cell-specific surface marker CD31 and vWF and the positive rate was over 99%. They also could form a continuous unicellular layer on the cell-free cattle jugular vein intravascular stent. CONCLUSION: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells can induce hBMSCs to differentiate into endothelial cells successfully and to adhere and grew on the cell-free cattle jugular vein intravascular stent through indirect co-culture method.
