Objective To investigate the etiology, epidemiologic features and drug resistance tendency of acute infectious diarrhea among children in Beijing area. Methods Enteric pathogenic bacteria were isolated, cultured and identified for serotype from the stool specimens of children with the initial clinical diagnosis of acute bacterial diarrhea in the intestinal clinic from January to October in 2009 ,and the antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria was tested by disk diffusion method. The cluster A rotavirus antigen was also detected by the qualitative technique of immunochromatographic double-antibody sandwich assay. Results Of the 256 stool specimens, 87 strains of 4 species of pathogenic bacteria were detected with the detectable rate of 34. 0% ,of which 2 strains were detected in one stool sample ,including 40 strains of salmonella (46. 0%) ,23 strains of shigella (26. 4%) ,2 strains of diarrheogenic escherichia coli (2. 3%) and 22 strains of staphylococcus aureus (25.3%). The positively detected patients consisted of 54 males and 32 females with the ratio of 1.69∶1 ,of whom 55 cases (64. 0%) were under 2 years of age. Of the 13 strains of shigella, 13 were sonnei shigella (56. 5%). And of the 22 strains of staphylococcus aureus,20 were detected among the infants under 1 year of age. The rates of crug resistance to certain antibiotics were lower in salmonella than in shigella (ampicillin :65. 0% vs. 95.7% ;compound sulfamethoxazole:20. 0% vs. 78. 3% ;ciprofloxacin:7.5% vs.8. 7% ;ceftriaxone: 15.0% vs. 73.9%). Of the 256 stool specimens ,47 were found positive for cluster A rotavirus,of whom 13 were also positive in stool bacteria culture. Conclusion Salmonella is the major pathogen among children with bacterial diarrhea in Beijing in 2009, and sonnei shigella is the main epidemic strains of shigella diarrhea. lnfants under 2 years of age are the susceptible population of the above two species of bacteria, while staphylococcus aureus mainly infect the infants under 1 years of age. Multi-resistance in shigella is still serious. The incidence of mixed infections of bacteria and rotavirus increases in children with infectious diarrhea.

Objective To evaluate the role of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway in the protective effect of isoflurane preconditioning and sevoflurane preconditioning against oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) injury in rat hippocampal slices. Methods Male adult SD rats weighing 270-290 g were anesthetized with ether and decapitated. The hippocampi were removed and sagittally sliced (400 μm thick) and placed in artificial cerebral spinal fluid aerated with 95% O2-5% CO2 . Ninety-six hippocampal slices were randomly divided into 8 groups (n = 12 each): control group (group C), OGD group, isoflurane preconditioning group (group Iso),sevoflurane preconditioning group (group Sevo) , SP600125 + isoflurane preconditioning group (group SP + Iso),SP600125 +sevoflurane preconditioning group (group SP + Sevo), DMSO + isoflurane preconditioning group (group DMSO + Iso) and DMSO + sevoflurane preconditioning group (group DMSO + Sevo). Electrophysiological technique was used to record the amplitude of population spike ( PS) in the stratum pyramidale of CA1 region and the degree of recovery of PS was calculated. The cell viability was determined by propidium iodide staining. Results Compared with group C, the degree of recovery of PS and cell viability were significantly decreased in the other groups ( P < 0.01) . Compared with group OGD, the degree of recovery of PS and cell viability were significantly increased in groups Iso, Sevo, SP+Iso, SP+Sevo, DMSO+ Iso and DMSO + Sevo (P< 0.01). Compared with group Iso, the degree of recovery of PS and cell viability were significantly increased in group SP+Iso ( P < 0.01) , while no significant change was found in group DMSO + Iso ( P > 0.05) . Compared with group Sevo, the degree of recovery of PS and cell viability were significantly increased in group SP + Sevo ( P < 0.01) , while no significant change was found in group DMSO + Sevo ( P > 0.05). Conclusion Isoflurane preconditioning and sevoflurane preconditioning can attenuate the OGD injury to rat hippocampal slices through inhibiting JNK signaling pathway.

Objective To detect the protective effect of sufentanil preconditioning on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats and the role of c-Jun N-terminal kinase signal pathway in the mech-enism.Methods One hundred and sixty-two SD rats(in either gender,weighing 250-300 g)were ran-domly divided into seven groups:Sham-operated group (group S,n = 30 ),ischemia-reperfusion group (group IR,n =30),sufentanil preconditioning group (group SF1:1 μg/kg,n =30;group SF5:5 μg/kg,n =30;group SF10:10 μg/kg,n =30),SP600125 group (group SP,n =30),and dimethyl sulphoxide control group (group DMSO,n =6),different doses of sufentanil was administered 30 min before hepatic ischemia in group SF1,SF5 and SF10.Blood and liver samples were collected from each group at 0(T1 ),1 (T2 ),2 (T3 ),4 (T4 ),and 6 (T5 )hours after reperfusion.Serum alanine amin-otransferase (ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase (AST)were measured by an automatic biochemi-cal analyzer.Malondialdehyde (MDA)and superoxide dismutase (SOD)in liver tissue was measured. Liver sample was stained with HE to observe the hepatic pathological changes.Immunohistochemical method was used to determine the expression of JNK and western blotting was used to detect the ex-pression of P-JNK.Results Compared with group S,levels of AST,ALT increased significantly in group IR,SF1,SF5,SF10 at T1-T5 and in group SP,DMSO at T3 (P <0.05 ).Compared with group IR,levels of AST,ALT decreased significantly in group SF1,SF5,SF10 at T1-T5 and in group SP at T3 (P <0.05).Compared with group S,levels of MDA,SOD increased significantly in group IR,SF1, SF5,SF10 at T1-T5 and in group SP,DMSO at T3 (P < 0.05 ).Compared with group IR,levels of MDA,SOD decreased significantly in group SF1,SF5,SF10 at T1-T5 and in group SP at T3 (P <0.05).Compared with group SF1 and SF5,levels of MDA,SOD decreased significantly in SF10 at T4 . Compared with T1 ,the expression of p-JNK in group IR increased significantly at T3 (P < 0.05 ). Compared with group S,the expression of p-JNK in groups IR,SF1,SF5,SF10,SP,DMSO increased significantly at T3 (P < 0.05 ).Compared with group IR,the expression of p-JNK in groups SF1, SF5,SF10,SP decreased significantly and that in groups SF5,SF10 were less than that in group SF1 (P <0.05 ).The expression of p-JNK in group SF10 was less than that in group SF5 (P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Sufentanil preconditioning can reduce the hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury and the dos-age of 10 μg/kg was the most effective.The protective mechanisms may inhibit JNK pathway and re-duce the expression of JNK.
