HOXA10 gene plays an essential role in differentiation of the endometrium and in human reproduction. The aim of this study was to investigate the regulatory effect of sex steroids and HB-EGF on HOXA10 gene in Ishikawa cells. Ishikawa cells were incubated with 17-beta estradiol (10(-8) mol/L), medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) (10(-6) mol/L), RU486 (10(-5) mol/L) or HB-EGF (10 ng/mL) for 48 h respectively. The expression of HOXA10 gene was detected by immunofluorescence, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting. Our results showed that either estrogen alone, progestin alone or progestin combined with estrogen could significantly increase the expression of HOXA10 gene 48 h after the treatment (P<0.05). But estrogen combined with progestin and RU486 could inhibit the up-regulation by estrogen and progestin. HB-EGF could elevate the expression of HOXA10 gene 48 h after the treatment (P<0.05). It is concluded that both estrogen and progestin can up-regulate the expression of HOXA10 gene in Ishikawa cells, but RU486 can inhibit the effect and HB-EGF can elevate the expression level of HOXA10 gene.

Objective To investigate the homology of methicillin-resistant Stphylococcusaureus(MRSA)from the neonatal intensive care unit(NICU)of a children's hospital,and evaluate routes and preventive strategies of MRSA healthcare-associated infection(HAI). Methods MRSA strains from neonates and environment of NICU between October and December 2014 were collected,and strains were identified by VITEK-2 microbial analysis system and cefoxitin Kirby-Bauer method,homology of MRSA was analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE ). Results A total of 6 MRSA strains were isolated from NICU between October and December 2014,3 of which (bed-58,70,and 100)were detected MRSA from specimens,MRSA were isolated from neonatal incubator and nurse (nasal swabs and hands)who cared for neonate at bed 58. 5 of 6 MRSA strains were homology,antimicrobial susceptibility testing result showed that No. 1-5 strains were resistant to clindamycin and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid,No. 6 strain was slightly different from No. 1-5 strains,No. 6 strain was susceptible to both clindamycin and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. PFGE results showed that No. 1-5 strains were of the same type,No. 6 strain was a different type. Conclusion The main route of this MRSA transmission is contact transmission,especially through the hands of health care workers,identification and analysis of epidemic strains by PFGE technique is an effective measures to prevent HAI outbreak and perform epidemiological study.
