Objective To study the immuno-protective effect against Schistosoma japonicum challenge of the positive monoclonal phages which were screened from the 12 mers-phage random peptide library by the new model rabbit serum. Methods The new model was established by injecting the Schistosoma japonicum infection rabbits with inhibitor of phenol oxidose. Positive clones immunoscreened with the new model rabbit sera were absorbed by SEA immune rabbit sera, and 14 clones selected randomly from them were compared and their antigenic ability was identified by ELISA. The two best positive monoclonal phages (No.8, No.13) recognized by the new model rabbit sera were selected to immunize Kunming mice by subcutaneously injecting 1?10~15 pfu positive phages at 0, 2nd, 4th week respectively. After 4 weeks of the last immunity,each mouse was challenged with 40?1 S.japonicum cercariae. All mice were sacrificed after 42 days and the reduction rates of adult worms and the liver eggs were investigated. Results The positive phage clones after immune absorption were weakly recognized by the SEA immune rabbit sera. The 14 monoclonal phages were recognized by the rabbit sera of the new model and the normal model. Especially No.8, No.13 were strongly recognized by the rabbit sera of the new model,while weakly recognized by the SEA immune rabbit sera. The reduction rates of adult worms and liver eggs induced by the monoclonal phage No.13, the monoclonal phage No.8 and the original peptide library were 35.81% and 63.32%, 32.09% and 52.02%, 14.90% and 30.64%, respectively. Conclusion Most clones of simulated epitopes of SEA can be removed by absorbing positive clones with SEA immune rabbit serum .The 14 monoclonal phages from the new model contain the simulated S.japonicum epitope. The two monoclonal phages have higher reduction rates of adult worms and eggs than original 12 mers-phage random peptide library and the positive polyclonal phages.[

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of antibiotics to treat Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection in the clinic. METHODS:Resistant rate of PA in our hospital during 2011-2015 were analyzed retrospectively. Antibiotics use densi-ty(AUD)of 10 commonly used antibiotics were analyzed statistically,and the correlation of resistant rate with AUD was investi-gated by Spearman correlation analysis. RESULTS:One thousaud and eleven strains of PA were isolated in our hospital during 2011-2014,detection rate of PA always occupied the top 5 place. Top 3 antibiotics in the list of AUD were levofloxacin,ceftazi-dime,cefoperazone sodium and tazobactam sodium. AUD of piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium,levofloxacin,ciprofloxa-cin and meropenem were positively correlated with resistant rate of PA(r were 1.000,0.900,1.000,1.000,P<0.05). AUD of ce-foperazone sodium and tazobactam sodium were negatively correlated with resistant rate of PA(r=-0.900,P<0.05). AUD of imi-penem and cilastatin sodium,ceftazidime,gentamicin,aztreonam and amikacin had no correlation with resistant rate of PA(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:There is correlation between AUD of antibiotics and resistant rate of PA. It is of important significance to detect resistant rate of PA and the use of antibiotics regularly. Antibiotics should be selected cautiously in accordance with bacterial monitoring data,results of drug sensitivity tests,the amount and resistant rate of antibiotics,etc,in order to reduce resistant PA.
