Objective Correctly identify Streptococcus pneumoniae resistant to optochin and other alpha hemolytic streptococcus susceptible to optochin.Methods Optochin susceptibility test, bile resolution test, latex agglutination test as well as some biochemical methods (VITEKCC4-GPI identifying cards,API-Strept identifying bar, VITEK TWO-GPC identifying cards) were applied.Results It was observed that 2 strains(0.3%)of Streptococcus pneumoniae out of 630 were resistant to optochin and 31strains of Streptococci, classfied as alpha hemolytic streptococci, susceptible to optochin, including 13 of S. mitis, 6 of S.oralis, 6 of S. twin, 3 of S. acidominimus, 2 of S.intermedius and 1 of S. constellatus. The inhibition zone of these alpha hemolytic streptococci susceptible sensitive to optochin was within the range of 14-17mm in diameter, in not 20 mm or more than 20 mm, compared with the inhibition zone of most strains of S.pneumoniae. Most of these alpha hemolytic streptococci (93.5%) susceptible to optochin showed highly resistance to benzoxazolecillin,to which most Streptococci (94%) showed sensitivity . Conclusion S.pneumoniae can be effectively identified by bile resolution test and latex agglutination test because of its high specificity with credible test results. API-Strept identifying bar and VITEK TWO-GPC identifying cards can be applied to identify S. pneumoniae resistant to optochin.

Objective To observe the expression of induced nitricoxide synthase(iNOS)in ligustrazine against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity.Methods Fifty white guinea pigs with normal hearing were randomly divided into the control group,ligustrazine group and traditional Chinese drug(TCD)group.The alternations of hearing function were evaluated by the examination of auditory brainstem response(ABR).Some specimens were perfused by AgNO3 and observed the damage of bristle cell.And some were sent for immunohistochemistry to detect the expression of iNOS.Results Compared with the control group,the threshold of ABR in ligustrazine group and TCD group were significantly different.There was a significant difference between the ligustrazine group and TCD group.There was no expression of iNOS in Cortis',spiral ganglion cell and stria vascularis in normal cochlear(control group).In the ligustrazine group,the expression became stronger in spiral ganglion cell,stria vascularis,spiral ligament and Cortis'.INOS also expressed in TCD group.Conclusion Ligustrazine can antagonize cisplatin-induced ototoxicity by inhibiting the expression of iNOS.

Objective To investigate the nursing points of endoscopic full-covered self-expanding removable metal stents (FCSERMS) implantation for bile duct anastomotic strictures after liver transplantation.

Objective To investigate the value and nursing of persistent balloon dilatation for anastomotic stricture after choledochojejunostomy. Methods The clinical data of 14 cases of anastomotic strictures after choledochojejunostomy accepted the treatment of persistent balloon dilatation were analyzed retrospectively. The effect, adverse reactions and approriate nursing were evaluated. Results Five patients were performed with persistent balloon dilatation thorough the output loop of intestine after choledochojejunostomy and 9 patients through percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography. There was no hemobilia, bile leak or other serious complications. There were 2 cases of balloon dilatation catheter damage, 5 cases of pressure pump damage and 4 cases of balloon migration with 25.0% (7/28) instrument damage rate and 4 cases of balloon migration. After persistent balloon dilation for 6 to 8 months, no anastomotic stricture was found by choledochoscopic examination. Follow up for 6 to 18 months, 2 cases had recurrent anastomotic stricture. Conclusions Persistent balloon dilatation by percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography is a simple, safe and effective method for anastomotic stricture after choledochojejunostomy. In the course of nursing, the balloon catheter and pressure pump damage, and balloon migration should be noted.

ObjectiveTo observe effect of estradiol on respiratory of ovariectomized rats.Methods30 adult female rats were randomly divided into ovariectomy group (group A), estradiol group (group B) and sham ovariectomy group (group C). Rats of group B were injected with 17-β estradiol (20μg/kg/d), that of group A and group C were injected only with normal saline (0.1ml/d). After 6 weeks, effect of estradiol on respiratory of ovariectomized rats was assessed with testing level of rats' serum estradiol and discharge frequency and integrated amplitude of phrenic nerve. ResultsThe level of serum estradiol of group A was significantly decreased compared with group B and group C (P<0.01). Discharge frequency and integrated amplitude of phrenic nerve of group A were decreased compared with group B and group C (P<0.05).ConclusionEstradiol can excite respiratory responses in ovariectomized rats.

Objective To explore the characteristics and clinical significance of CD+4 CD+25 Regulatory T lymphocytes and T cell subsets in peripheral blood and malignant pleural effusion from lung cancer patients. Methods Flow cytometry was used to detect the percentage of CD+4 CD+25 regulatory T cells and T cell subsets in peripheral blood from 68 lung cancer patients and 56 healthy persons, and in pleural effusion from 32 lung cancer patients with malignant effusion. Results T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood of lung cancer patients in different periods were expressed differently. The percentage of CD+4 CD+25 regulatory T cells in peripheral blood were (19.52±3.32)%, (27.28±8.26)% and (32.31±15.60)% in Ⅰ+Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ period lung cancer patients, respectively, and were higher than that of healthy volunteers (11.12±3.32) % (t =31.0040, -7.9688, -4.9770, P ＜0.05). In the lung cancer patients with malignant effusion, the percentage of CD+4 CD+25 regulatory T cells in the pleural effusion was higher than that in the peripheral blood [(34.12±18.63) % vs (26.36± 16.25)%, t =21.164, P＜0.05]. In the lung cancer patients with malignant effusion ,the percentages of CD+4 in peripheral blood and pleural effusion were (25.32±13.45) % and (34.68±12.34) %, were lower than that in healthy volunteers (t =7.3104, 4.8818, P＜0.05), the percentages of CD+56 were (8.24±7.38) % and(11.23± 7.65) %, CD+4/CD+8 were (1.02±0.56) % and (1.32±0.82)%, were lower than (18.23±9.23) % and (1.89± 0.32) % in healthy volunteers, respectively, (CD+56: t =-14.7549, -11.7216; CD+4/CD+8: t =-24.78,-4.4564, P＜0.05). Conclusion The relative increase of CD+4 CD+25 Regulatory T cells may be related to immunosuppression and tumor progression in patients with lung cancer. Conclusion The relative increase of CD+4 CD+25 regulatory T cells may be related to immunosuppression and tumor progression in patients with lung cancer.

Objective To understand the clinical and molecular characteristics of children with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) in South China.Methods Clinical and molecular data of children diagnosed as PWS by Methylation-specific PCR(MS-PCR) and/or Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization(Array-CGH)in Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center from November 2012 to November 2014 were analyzed.Results A total of 27 children diagnosed as PWS were included in this study,including 21 cases diagnosed by Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (Array-CGH) and 13 cases diagnosed by methylation-specific PC R (MS-PCR).Within the 27 cases,13 cases were male(48.1％) and 14 cases were female(51.9％).The age on diagnosis was from 16 days to 16 years old.MS-PCR was performed in 13 cases,7 cases of them also performed Array-CGH,both of them showed a 174 bp fragment from the methylated allele and a 100 bp fragment from the unmethylated allele.Array-CGH analysis was performed in 21 cases,paternal deletion in 18 cases and mean interstitial deletions measure (5.48 ± 0.51) Mb in size,paternal duplication in 2 cases,loss of heterozygosity measure approximately 79.58 Mb in 1 case.Eighteen simple chromosome deletion cases were divided into 6 Del Ⅰ and 12 Del Ⅱ according to the location of Array-CGH and query the database to DECIPHER(Database of Chromosomal Imbalance and Phenotype in Humans Using Ensembl Resources).The major phenotype included central hypotonia and feeding difficulty in all cases (100.0％),hypogonadism in 25 cases (92.6％),weak crying in 22 cases(81.5％),and hypopigmentation in 22 cases(81.5％).Fourteen cases beyond 1 year old had varied degrees of development disability and behavioral and psychiatric disturbance:speech articulation defects in 13 cases(92.9％),hyperphagia and weight gain too fast in 13 cases(92.9％) when they were between 1 to 6 years old[(2.80 ± 1.32) years old],and obesity in 12 cases (85.7％).Conclusions For PWS children in South China,there is no statistically significant difference in the clinical manifestation between Del Ⅰ and Del Ⅱ.PWS children in South China have typical clinical characteristics,which can be used as a further screening indication to implement molecular diagnostics.
