Objective To discuss the characteristics of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases(ESBLs)-producing Shigella and the relation between them and drug-resistance plasmid. Methods The suspicious ESBLs-producing isolates were screened by K-B disc diffusion method, and the ESBLs-producing strains were confirmed by confirmatory test recommended by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards. Furthermore, the partial blageneof these isolates were detected by PCR using universal primers for TEM, SHV, CTX-M-1 group, CTX-M-2 group and CTX-M-9 group, respectively. The entire blaCTX-M-9 and blaTEM were amplified by PCR using the primers outside the open reading frame (ORF) of these β-1actamases and products were directly sequenced. The conjugation experiment was performed to determine whether the resistance was transferable. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was detected with double agar dilution method. Results Of the 275 isolates, 12 strains were identified as ESBLs producers. Among them, 8 strains were CTX-M-14 carriers and 4 strains were CTX-M-3 carriers. All ESBLs-producing isolates are positive for plasmid conjugative transfer test. The transconjugants are only resistance to betalactams. Conclusions High resistance to beta-laetams in Shigella is caused by production of ESBLs in the local area. The ESBLs-produeing isolates can transfer the drug resistance through lateral transfer of plasmid.

BACKGROUND:Poststroke depression is one of the most common psychological behavior disorders after stroke and its mechanism remains unclear. Studies have suggested that microRNAs (miRNAs) involved in neurogenesis and synaptogenesis may play an important role in psychology diseases. OBJECTIVE:To observe the expression of miR-137 in the blood and brain of poststroke depression rats and its effect on the behaviors of rats. METHODS:Thirty-six rats were equal y divided into six groups:control, model, agomir-137, agomir-NC, agomir-137+Grin2A and agomir-137+vector groups. Control group had no treatment. Poststroke depression models were established by ligation of middle cerebral artery and chronic mild stimulation in the latter four groups fol owed by receiving an injection of nothing, agomir-137, agomir-NC, LV-CMV-Grin2A or control plasmids into the left lateral ventricle, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:We found significantly lower miR-137 levels in the brain and peripheral blood of post-stroke depression rats compared with normal rats. Vertical scores and horizontal scores on the behavior test were significantly higher in the agomir-137 group than the agomir-NC and model groups at 3 weeks after cerebral ischemia;while, sucrose consumption percentage was also higher in the agomir-137 group at the end of 2 weeks after cerebral ischemia. Luciferase assays showed miR-137 bound to the 3’ UTR of Grin2A, regulating Grin2A expression in a neuronal cel line. Grin2A gene overexpression in the brain of post-stroke depression rats noticeably suppressed the inhibitory effect of miR-137 on post-stroke depression. Overal , these findings show that miR-137 suppresses Grin2A protein expression through binding to Grin2A mRNA, thereby exerting an inhibitory effect on post-stroke depression and offering a new therapeutic target for poststroke depression.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of vacuum packaging technique for storing sterilized packs in order to extend the period of valid storing.METHODS From 420 sterilized packages 210 were randomly taken as a test group,and the other 210 packages as the control group.According to aseptic techniques the packages of test group were vacuumized and the control group was packed as by outine protocol.Two groups were simultaneously stored in aseptic closet,and then regularly taken out 30 samples from two groups respectively for microbial(culturing).RESULTS Bacterial growth was seen in the control group at first month.But none of the specimens in test group showed any microbial growth until the eighth month.There was a statistically significant difference((P

AIM: To study the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) on hematopoietic differentiation from mouse embryonic stem cells(ESC) in vitro.METHODS: ES-D3 was allowed to grow on mouse fetal fibroblast feeder layer,and then was developed into embryoid bodies(EB).EB cells were transferred into medium supplemented with different concentration of VEGF and VEGF+SCF for 1 week.Six groups,including.VEGF 5 ?g/L,VEGF 10 ?g/L,VEGF 20 ?g/L, VEGF 5 ?g/L+SCF,VEGF 10 ?g/L+SCF and VEGF 20 ?g/L+SCF,were designed.The group of spontaneous differentiation without cytokine(s) was used as control.Hematopoietic transcription factor GATA-2 and early hematopoietic differentiation genes(c-kit and ?-H1) were detected by RT-PCR.The content of CD34~+ cells in each group were measured by flow cytometry.The cells derived from ESC were incubated in semisolid methycellulose cultures.The numbers of total colony-forming units in culture(CFU-C) were counted by reverse microscope.RESULTS: ES-D3 grew and formed EB at day 4.VEGF had a stimulatory effect as a single factor on the expression of genes associated with early hematopoietic differentiation(GATA-2,c-kit and ?-H1),the generation of CD34~+ cells and CFU-C in EB.The effects of VEGF+SCF were the most potent in the experimental groups according to the percent of CD34~+ cells and the numbers of hematopoietic colonies.The most highest inducing efficacy was achieved in VEGF 20 ?g/L or VEGF 10 ?g/L combined with SCF.CONCLUSION: VEGF promotes the differentiation of ESC into hematopoietic cells in vitro.The strongest effect was achieved when VEGF was combined with SCF.

Objective:To investigate the effects of Rad50-targeted inhibition on the radiosensitivity of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cells.Methods:Rad50 in Tca8113 and OSCC-15 cells was down-regulated by siRNA.Then the cells were treated by a small dose of radiation(2 Gy),Western blot was used to detect the expression of Rad50 protein.Comet assay was used to evaluate the DNA double strand breaks(DSBs).Colony survival assay was performed to detect the survival rate of the cells.Telomere FISH was performed to assess the telomere length in the cells.Results:Target siRNA inhibited Rad50 protein expression in Tca8113 and OSCC-15 cells. siRNA combined with the radiation of 2 Gy produced more DSBs,decreased the proliferation and shortened the nucleus telomere length of the cells more than radiation treatment alone.Conclusion:The targeted inhibition of Rad50 may increase the radiosensitivity of Tca8113 and OSCC-15 cells.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of pregnancy-associated plasmaprotein-A (PAPP-A) and GRACE risk score for death and nonfatal myocardial infarction (combined endpoint) in AMI patients.Methods All AMI patients hospitalized in our department during July 2011 to July 2015 were included consecutively in this prospective study.Plasma PAPP-A were measured at admission.GRACE risk score was acquired with the application of GRACE risk score calculator.Patients were followed up for at least 1 year for any nonfatal myocardial infarction or MACE.Kaplan Meier survival study was analysed according to PAPP-A and GRACE score risk stratification respectively.A cutoff value of 3.0 ng/ml of PAPP-A was chosen from pilot work in this cohort.Results A total of 220 patients were enrolled in the study.The death and nonfatal myocardial infarction during follow-up were significantly higher in patients with PAPP-A≥3.0 ng/ml compared to patients with PAPP-A<3.0 ng/ml (15.7% vs.6.0%, log-rank χ2=5.684, P=0.017).The area under ROC curve of PAPP-A was 0.796(95%CI 0.696-0.896, P<0.01) and the ROC curve of PAPP-A GRACE risk stratification was 0.715 (95%CI 0.567-0.863,P<0.01).Subgroup analysis showed that death and nonfatal myocardial infarction during follow-up was significantly higher in patients with PAPP-A≥3.0 ng/ml compared to patients with PAPP-A<3.0 ng/ml in intermediate and low risk group by GRACE risk stratifcation (log-rank χ2=14.63,P<0.001).Conclusions PAPP-A could predict mortality and nonfatal myocardial infarction in patients with AMI.PAPP-A combined with GRACE risk score can better predict outcome than GRACE risk score alone in intermediate and low risk patients by GRACE risk stratifcation.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical outcomes of Chaput tuberosity osteotomy and lateral malleolus sagittal osteotomy in the treatment of talus osteochondral lesions with autologous osteochondral transplantation (AOT).Methods:From January 2017 to December 2019, Chaput tuberosity osteotomy and lateral malleolus sagittal osteotomy were performed in the AOT treatment of 11 patients with talus osteochondral lesions. They were 9 men 2 women, with a mean age of 32. 6 years (range, from 22 to 45 years). Their lesions were all Hepple type V. Their American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, visual analogue scale (VAS), International Knee Documentation Committee Knee Evaluation Form (IKDC) score, and imaging data were measured pre- and post-operatively for assessment of clinical outcomes.Results:All the patients were followed up for 13 to 24 months (average, 15.6 months). Their AOFAS (94.3±2.9) and VAS (1.2±0.4) scores at the final follow-up were significantly improved compared with the pre-operative values (49.5±6.6 and 5.7±1.2) ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between their pre- and post-operative IKDC scores for the ipsilateral knee joint ( P>0.05). The imaging showed that the talus cystic change disappeared and the grafted bone was fully fused with the talus with no abnormal change in the joint space. Conclusion:In the AOT treatment of talus osteochondral lesions, Chaput tuberosity osteotomy and lateral malleolus sagittal osteotomy can obviously relieve ankle pain and improve ankle function.
