Objective To understand antimicrobial resistance of Enterobacteriaceae strains and distribution charac-teristics of carbapenemase-resistant Enterobacteriaceae(CRE)in Xijing Hospital in 2015,so as to provide basis for rational use of antimicrobial agents in clinic. Methods Specimens from infected inpatients and outpatients in Xijing Hospital in January-December 2015 were performed pathogenic culture,isolation and identification. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed with Kirby-Bauer method,carbapenemase confirmatory test was conducted with modified Hodge test,antimicrobial resistance of Enterobacteriaceae was statistically analyzed. Results A total of 4166 pathogenic strains were isolated in 2015,1554 (37.30% )of which were Enterobacteriaceae strains,the top 5 isolated pathogens were Escherichiacoli(E. coli),Klebsiella pneumoniae(K. pneumoniae),Enterobactercloacae (E. cloacae),Proteusmirabilis,and Enterobacteraerogenes. Of 787 E. coli strains,581(73.82% )were extend-ed-spectrumβ-lactamases(ESBLs)-producing strains;of 367 K. pneumoniae strains,182 (49.59% )were ESBLs-producing strains. E. coli and K. pneumoniae had the highest resistance rates to cefazolin,which were 93.14% and 78.48% respectively. A total of 81 (5.21% )CRE were detected,K. pneumoniae,E. cloacae,and E. coli were 41 ,27,and 13 strains respectively;strains were mainly isolated from patients in departments of neurosurgery(n=42),gastroenterology(n= 9),and neurology(n= 8). 1.02% (8/787)of E. coli and 3.27% (12/367)of K. pneu-moniae were multidrug-resistant. Conclusion Enterobacteriaceae accounted for a higher proportion of pathogenic bacteria causing HAI,the detection rate of ESBLs-producing strains remains high,the isolation rate of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae is higher than that of last year,especially K. pneumoniae.

Objective To study the effect of immunocontraception of Spink12,the fusion protein 6?His-Spink12 was induced to express in E.coli BL21,and purified.MethodsThe total mouse epididymal RNA was extracted,and the Spink 12 protein coding exon without signal peptide sequence was amplified by RT-PCR,digested by restrictive enzyme Nde Ⅰ and EcoR Ⅰ,and then cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pET28 (a) which contained the 6?His tag in N terminal.The recombinant plasmid pET28a-Spink12,after being confirmed by enzyme digestion and sequencing,was transformed into the competent cells of E.coli BL21.The fusion protein 6?His-Spink12 was expressed by IPTG induction and analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting.The products were purified by Ni-NTA under native condition with different imidazole gradients and characterized by Western blotting with anti-His monoclonal antibody.ResultsThe results of digestion and sequencing indicated that the recombinant prokaryotic expression vector pET28a-Spink12 was successfully constructed.After E.coli BL21 was transformed with pET28a-Spink12 and induced with IPTG,the recombinant target protein of about 9 kDa was obtained by SDS-PAGE analysis,which was coincident with the theoretical value.The fusion protein was of 23.5% of the total E.coli cell proteins.The Western blotting analysis with anti-His monoclonal antibody showed that the band was fusion protein 6?His-Spink12.After purified with Ni-NTA,a higher quality of fusion protein 6?His-Spink12 was obtained in a purity of 91.1%.ConclusionsThe fusion protein 6?His-Spink12 has been successfully expressed in E.coli BL21 and purified.It may provide a base for the study of the effect of Spink12 on immunocontraception.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational drug use in the clinic. METHODS:Irrational medication orders eval-uated by the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University during Oct. 2014 to Sep. 2015 were arrangemented,summarized and analyzed. RESULTS:A total of 515 inpatient medical records were reviewed and analyzed,among which there were 165 unrea-sonable medical records and 185 irrational medication orders. Irrational medical records of general surgery department were the most(38 items,accounting for 23.03%). Irrational drug use mainly included irrational usage and dosage(80.00%),drug use with-out indications or not suit indications (7.57%),inappropriate solvent selection (4.86%). Including 66.22% of single overdose, 18.92% of longer medication duration. CONCLUSIONS:There are many irrational medical orders which should be standardized in our hospital,especially overdose and longer medication duration,which increase financial burden of patient. Pharmacists should strengthen communication with clinicians,and hold rational drug use trainings regularly base on the types of the irrationality. These can help to improve rational drug use and guarantee the safety of drug use.

Objective To observe the features of the changes in the whole blood N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels in pregnant patients with complication of hypertensive disorders,its correlation to the severity of the illness,and to investigate the diagnostic value of point-of-care testing of NT-proBNP in patients with hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy.Methods A prospective observation was conducted.Sixty-nine patients with hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of Liaocheng People's Hospital in Shandong Province from April 2013 to April 2015 were enrolled.All patients were divided into gestational hypertension group (n =16),preeclampsia group (n =30) and eclampsia group (n =23).At the same time,30 age-matched normal pregnant women were enrolled as the control group.The acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score of all patients with hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy were calculated within 24 hours after intensive care unit (ICU) admission.NT-proBNP in venous blood at 1,3,5 days after ICU admission was determined with point-of-care testing,in order to analyze the correlation of changes in NT-proBNP value in each group and the severity of the disorder.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to evaluate the diagnostic value of NT-proBNP in the whole blood in hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy.Results The APACHE Ⅱ score of the eclampsia group was significantly higher than that of the preeclampsia group,and it was higher than that of gestational hypertension group (15.91 ± 1.06,13.73 ± 1.09,10.31 ± 1.10,all P ＜ 0.01).The NT-proBNP in normal pregnancy group was lower than 125.00 ng/L,with a mean of 90.00 (79.75,100.00) ng/L.With the aggravation of the disease,NT-proBNP was gradually increased.On the first day in ICU,the NT-proBNP of the eclampsia gronp was significantly higher than that of the preeclampsia group,and it was higher in preeclampsia group than that of gestational hypertension group [ng/L:1960.00 (1 226.00,3 229.00),859.50 (626.75,2439.00),505.00 (171.25,604.05),P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01].With the extension of duration of treatment,the levels of NT-proBNP (ng/L) in the eclampsia group,preeclampsia group,and gestational hypertension group was gradually decreased,and had a statistically significant difference on the fifth day as compared with that of the first day [310.00 (210.00,430.00) vs.1 960.00 (1 226.00,3 229.00) in eclampsia group,265.00 (229.50,333.25) vs.859.50 (626.75,2439.00) in preeclampsia group,and 203.00 (115.50,259.25) vs.505.00 (171.25,604.05) in gestational hypertension group,all P ＜ 0.01].APACHE Ⅱ score of the patient with hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy was positively correlated with the level of NT-proBNP on the first day in ICU (r =0.795,P =0.000).It was shown by ROC curve analysis that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of NT-proBNP in the whole blood for the diagnosis of the patient with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy was 0.986 [95％ confidence interval (95％C/) =0.753-0.924].When the cutoff value was 122.50 ng/L,the sensitivity was 97.1％,and the specificity was 100.0％.No patient died,all the 69 patients recovered and discharged.Conclusions The levels of NT-proBNP in the whole blood in the patients with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy,especially those with eclampsia,were significantly higher,and it was correlated with the severity of illness.After treatment,the levels were gradually lowered with the improvement of the disease.Therefore,it is concluded that the point-of-care testing of NT-proBNP in the whole blood has an excellent value for the diagnosis and evaluation of hypertensive disorder complication pregnancy.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Astragalus polysaccharides on heart function and myocardial fibrosis in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and corresponding mechanism. METHODS:50 SHR were randomly divided into a model group,a captopril tablets group (positive drug,30 mg/kg) and the groups of high,medium and low-dose (100,50,25 mg/kg) Astragalus polysaccharides,with 10 SHR in each group. Another 10 Wistar Kyoto rats were included into the normal group. The rats in the drug administration groups were given corresponding drugs ip,while those in the normal group and the model group were given isometric distilled water ip,once a day,for 12 consecutive weeks. The left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP),left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP),left ventricular pressure rise rate (+dp/dtmax) and left ventricular pressure decline rate (-dp/dtmax) of the rats were recorded. The heart mass index (HMI) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) thereof were deter-mined. The level of hydroxyproline and the mRNA and protein expression of transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)and peroxi-some proliferator-activated receptor-γ(PPAR-γ)in the cardiac muscle tissue thereof were detected. RESULTS:Compared to the nor-mal group,the rats in the model group had lower LVSP,+dp/dtmax and-dp/dtmax,higher LVEDP,HMI and LVMI,as well as high-er levels of hydroxyproline and the mRNA and protein expression of TGF-β1 and lower level of the mRNA and protein expression of PPAR-γ in the cardiac muscle tissue (P<0.01). Compared to the model group,all the above-mentioned indexes of the rats in the group of high-dose Astragalus polysaccharides and the captopril tablets group were significantly improved (P<0.05 or P<0.01);except for LVEDP and the mRNA expression of PPAR-γ,all the above-mentioned indexes of the rats in the group of medi-um-dose Astragalus polysaccharides were significantly improved(P<0.05 or P<0.01);no statistically significant difference(P>0.05) in all the above-mentioned indexes was shown between the model group and the group of low-dose Astragalus polysaccha-rides,except that the-dp/dtmax of the latter was significantly higher and the level of the mRNA expression of TGF-β1 was obvious-ly lower (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Astragalus polysaccharide can improve heart function and myocardial fibrosis in SHR by a mechanism which may be related to downregulating the expression of TGF-β1 and upregulating the expression of PPAR-γin the car-diac muscle tissue.
