Acta Universitatis Medicinalis Anhui 2015;(8):1161-1164
Objective To understand infection and drug resistance of bacteria in respiratory tract of senile inpa-tients with multiple acute exacerbation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). Methods An analysis of the common culture of sputum specimens and drug sensitive experiment in 399 senile inpatients with acute exacer-bation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) who were hospitalized more than or equal to two times. Results 172 strains of bacteria were isolated, and gram negative bacilli accounted for 86. 05% and the top three were A. baumanii, P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae. Drug sensitive experiment showed that extensively drug-resist-ant (XDR) rate of A. baumanii decreased and XDR rate of P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae increased in 2014 compared with that in 2013, but no significant difference was detected. A. baumanii was all resistant to ampicillin, cefazolin and cefotaxime. P. aeruginosa was seriously resistant to more than one drug, and the resistance to mero-pene increased significantly in 2014. The sensitivity of K. pneumoniae to more than one drug decreased markedly in 2014. Conclusion Gram negative bacilli are the main bacteria in respiratory tract of senile patients with AECO-PD, hospitalized more than or equal to two times, and antibiotic resistance is serious. Understanding the distribu-tion and drug resistance of common bacteria may be helpful to guide the rational use of antibiotics before the drug sensitivity test.

BACKGROUND: Previous research has demonstrated that bone marrow mesenchymal stem calls (BMSCs) differentiate into varying mesoderm-derived mesenchymal cells, such as myocardial cells.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of construction of engineered myocardial tissues with polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) olymer and cardiomyocyte-like cells derived from BMSCs in vitro.METHODS: BMSCs were isolated from bone marrow of SD rats by density gradient cantrifugation. The third passage cells were induced with the culture medium including 5-aza for 4 weeks. After successful induction, the cells were trypsinized and suspended, then the cell suspension was added to the polylactic-co-glycolic acid square slowly and cultured in the incubator for 14 days. The morphological changes were observed before and after induction under phase contrast microscope. The cardiomyocyte-like cells were identified by immunofluorescanca staining. The naked eyes were used to observe the morphology of engineered myocardial tissues. The ultrastructures of the engineered myocardial tissues were viewed with a transmission electron microscope.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: BMSCs of primary culture formed cell colonies at 14 days. The passaged cells were larger than those of primary culture. After induction by 5-aza, the cells presented long spindle and aligned in parallel. The expression of specific proteins of cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnl) in induced BMSCs was positive. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the engineered myocardial tissues had myofilaments, Z line-like substances. With PLGA and cardiomyocyte-like cells derived from BMSCs, the engineered myocardial tissues which resemble native cardiac tissues can be successfully constructed in vitro.

BACKGROUND: With the development of biotechnology, the electrophysiology of repairing heart tissues of myocardial infarction or myocardial hypertrophy by using bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell has become a hot spot. OBJECTIVE: To overview the research progress of cardiac electrophysiological characteristics after transplantation of induced differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into cardiomyocytes. METHODS: The databases of PubMed, Springer Link, Science Direct and CNKI were retrieved for papers published from January 2000 to October 2010 with the key words of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, cardiac/heart, electrophysiology/electrophysiological characteristics. The relevant articles concerning cardiac electrophysiological characteristics of induce differentiation and transplantation of bone marrow stem cells were collected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Totally 208 papers have been searched. Preliminary screening by reading abstracts to exclude 162 papers that study purpose do not coincident with this review either contents duplicated, and internalized 46 papers at last. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells after induced differentiation and transplantation could improve heart function of animal experimental model and myocardial infarction or myocardial hypertrophy patients. Although the cardiomyocyte-like cells from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells could help to improve heart function, the cardiac electrophysiological characteristics may be influenced by them.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has the features of high incidence rate, low survival rate, poor treatment outcome, and complex pathogenesis. In recent years, many studies have shown that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) MALAT1 is upregulated in HCC and can promote the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of HCC cells, and it can also guide the diagnosis, prognostic evaluation, and treatment of HCC in clinical practice. This article reviews the current status of research on lncRNA MALAT1 in HCC and discusses its expression pattern, mechanism of action, and clinical significance in predicting and monitoring the progression of HCC, so as to gain a deep understanding of the role of lncRNA MALAT1 in the progression of HCC. It is pointed out that lncRNA MALAT1 is expected to become a potential biomarker for the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of HCC and may be used as a therapeutic target in clinical practice.

The Software’s of Excel 2010 and SPSS 23.0 were applied for data cleaning and statistical analysis on the population, time and area distributions of COVID-19 cases.Results:On January 22, 2020, the first confirmed case of COVID-19 was reported in Heilongjiang. By March 11, 2020, a total of 482 cases domestic case of COVID-19, The incidence rate was 1.28/100 000, the mortality rate was 2.70% (13/482) in 13 municipalities in Heilongjiang. There were 81 clusters of COVID-19, The number of confirmed cases accounted for 79.25% (382/482) of the total confirmed cases and 12 cases of deaths. The family clusters accounted for 86.42% (70/81). Compared with the sporadic cases, the mortality rate, proportion of elderly cases aged 60 or above and severe or critical cases of clinical classification were all higher in the clusters especially the family clusters, but the differences were not significant ( P>0.05). There were 34 clusters involving more than 5 confirmed cases accounted for 41.98% (34/81) of the total clusters, the involved cases accounted for 68.31% (261/382) of the total cases of clusters. There were significant differences in age distribution of the cases among the case clusters with different case numbers. In the clusters involving 6-9 cases, the proportion of cases aged 65 years or above was more (26.53%, 39/147). Conclusions:The incidence rate of COVID-19 was relatively high and the early epidemic was serious in Heilongjiang, The number of cases was large in clusters especially family clusters.

The NMGCF-19 strain is an E.coli strain isolated and identified in our laboratory from lambs manifesting severe diarrhea and meningitis.Previous analysis of the genome sequence of NMGCF-19 strain showed that the outer membrane protein A(ompA)gene was a potential viru-lent gene.In order to determine whether the ompA gene is associated with the pathogenicity of NMGCF-19 strain and the underlying mechanism,the NMGCF-19 strain with ompA knockout(NMGCF-19△ompA)was generated in this study using CRISPR/Cas9 technology and used to de-termine the role of ompA gene in mediating the encephalitis by NMGCF-19 infection and the un-derlying mechanism using the mouse model system.The results showed that the neuronal cell nec-rosis in the hippocampus in mice infected by NMGCF-19△ompA was significantly reduced and was not focal compared with that of mice infected with the wild-type NMGCF-19 strain.The number of bacteria in brain of mice infected by NMGCF-19 △ompA was significantly reduced in comparison to that of mice infected by NMGCF-19.Simultaneously,the mRNA and protein expression levels of the tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Occludin were both increased in mice infected by NMGCF-19 △ompA strain compared with the mice infected by NMGCF-19 strain.These results suggest that the ompA gene is a virulent gene and plays an important role in the invasion of the blood-brain barrier by NMGCF-19 strain in mice.
