The total amount of metronidazole and tinidazole ingested by the infant via breast milk were 3.02 mg/kg/day and 2.58 mg/(kg?d) respectively. which were 1/5~1/10. and 1/6~1/8 of the routine therapeutic dose for infants.

Objective To investigate the application of combined detection of three serum markers,anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP),rheumatoid factor (RF),anti-keratin antibodies (AKA),for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.Methods This was a prospective study.Serum samples were randomly obtained from 137 RA patients,265 other autoinmmune diease patients,and 111 normal controls.All of the volunteers were outpatients or inpatients of Peking University Third Hospital from January 2011 to September 2013.Levels of AKA,anti-CCP antibody,RF were measured by indirect immunofluorescence,chemiluminescence,and immune turbidimetry,respectively.The values of 3 serum biomarkers and their varied combinations for RA diagnosis were systemically assessed.The results were compared using fourfold table chi-square (x2) test.Results When using one serum marker,anti-CCP had the highest accuracy (80.39％),Youden's index (YI) (0.51),and Kappa (κ) value (0.55) for the diagnosis of RA.While using three serum markers,anti-CCP + (AKA/RF),AKA /(anti-CCP + RF),anti-CCP/(AKA + RF) and (AKA + RF)/(anti-CCP + RF)/(AKA + anti-CCP) had the highest accuracy (80.94,80.94,80.66),YI (0.51,0.51,0.50),and κ value (0.55,0.56,0.54).Conclusion AntiCCP is the vital marker for RA diagnosis.Anti-CCP + (AKA/RF),AKA/(anti-CCP + RF),and (AKA +RF)/(anti-CCP + RF)/(AKA + anti-CCP) are the most ideal combinations for RA diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE To type the genes of plasmid DNA in 54 clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates producing extended -spectrum beta-lactamases (SHV) by denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLc) and evaluate their sensitivity and specificity, and explore a rapid and convenient method for detecting the antibiotic resistance of K. pneumoniae. METHODS Plasmid DNA from each extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (SHV) producing strain was subjected to PCR amplification. After we performed DNA sequencing of these amplicons and identification of mutation and their genotype, DHPLc was undertaken to investigate whether its results correlate the distinctive chromatogram with each genotype. RESULTS All the strains were found abnormal elution peaks (two or three peaks) which were different from each other. The result of DNA sequencing demonstrated that all the strains had DNA mutation in comparison with SHV-1. Moreover, DHPLc could produce specific peak patterns that correlate with genotype. CONCLUSIONS The sensitivity of DHPLc is 100% in this study. And each genotype is corresponded to specific peak pattern. So we can use DHPLc technique to type the genes of plasmid DNA in K. pneumoniae and detect mutations rapidly. DHPLc not only has high accuracy , but also is a convenient and rapid technique for the detection of mutation in the bacterial genome. It has a great potential clinical value.
