MicroRNAisatypeofsingle-strandednon-codingRNA,directlybondingtothecomplemen-tary target gene mRNA.That leads to the inhibition of mRNA translation of the target molecule in order to reduce expression of the target gene.MicroRNAs are not only involved in the regulation of inflammatory reac-tion,but also play important roles in the formation of neoplasm.The researches showing that the inflammatory reaction interacting with miRNAs results in the differential expressions of microRNAs in lung cancer have been widespreadly concerned.Along with the deepening of the research on the mechanisms of inflammatory reaction and differential expression of microRNAs,it will provide new strategies for the prevention,diagnosis and treat-ment of lung cancer.

Objective To construct a qseC-deleted mutant strain of E.coli by Red recombination and to study the effect of qseC gene on biofilm formation in the mutants.Methods The chloramphenicolresistant gene flanked by homologues of target genes was amplified by PCR and electro-transformed into E.coli MC1000.When induced by L-arabinose,the plasmid pKD46 could express three recombinant proteins of λ-prophage,which led to the replacement of target gene(qseC) with chloramphenicol-resistant gene.Then the chloramphenicol-resistant gene was eliminated by FLP-promoted recombination events.The biofilm formation of wild-type and mutant strain was detected by crystal violet staining.Results The qseC-deleted mutant of E.coli was confirmed by various PCR and DNA sequencing.Gene qseC was completely deleted.There was no significant difference in growth ability between the qseC mutant strain and the wild-type strain MC1000.The biofilm formation of wild-type and mutant strain was quantified by crystal violet staining.The absorbance determined with a plate reader at 570 nm was 1.00±0.15 and 0.47±0.10 respectively.Conclusion The qseC-deleted mutant of E.coli was constructed successfully.And the qseC gene plays an important role in regulation of biofilm formation in E.coli.

Implant-associated infection is a serious problem in the clinical application of biomaterials.which greatly restricts the generalizatjon of cardiovascular biomaterials,while bacterial adhesion is the initial cause for implant-associated infections of cardiovascular biomaterials.Therefore.the prevention of bacteriaI adhesion to the biomaterials plays a crucial role in the cure of biomaterial center infection.It has reported that human plasma protein influences the bacterial adhesion to biomateriais.Some plasma proteins inhibit bacterial adhesion.whereas some promote jt.Study on the correlation between plasma protein and hacterial adhesion to the biomaterials is of great importance in the prevention and cure of biomaterials center infection.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanism of prone ventilation in rats with lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced extra pulmonary acute lung injury(ALI). Methods Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into four groups:control group,ALI group,supine position group(ALIS group)and prone position group(ALIP group). The ALI animal model was reproduced by intra-peritoneal injection of LPS 6 mg/kg,and 2 mL/kg sterile saline was intra-peritoneally injected in control group. After 24 hours,the ALIS group and ALIP group were mechanically ventilated for 4 hours in supine and prone positions respectively. Arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2),carbon dioxide partial pressure(PaCO2),wet to dry weight ratio of lung(W/D) were observed,and the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukins(IL-6,IL-10)in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)were measured. The degrees of histopathological changes of lung were investigated and assessed under light microscope. Results Compared with control group,PaO2 was significantly lower in ALI,ALIS and ALIP groups〔mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa):68±7,82±8,93±7 vs. 116±7〕,and the PaCO2 in ALI and ALIS groups was obviously higher(mmHg:53±6,51±5 vs. 43±7,both P<0.05);lung W/D ratio as well as levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 in BALF were significantly higher in ALI,ALIS and ALIP groups〔lung W/D ratio:5.11±0.32, 4.71±0.38,4.53±0.45 vs. 4.48±0.15,TNF-α(ng/L):548±82,431±64,347±53 vs. 162±16,IL-6(ng/L):772±119,587±178,490±139 vs. 127±16,IL-10(ng/L):211±43,295±36,352±59 vs. 104±31,all P<0.05〕. Compared with ALI group,PaO2 in ALIS and ALIP groups was significantly higher,and in ALIP group,PaCO2 was lower,lung W/D ratio,TNF-α and IL-6 in BALF were obviously lower,while IL-10 in BALF was obviously higher(all P<0.05). Compared with ALIS group,the changes in ALIP group were more significant(all P<0.05). Compared with ALIS group,under light microscope,it was shown that the hyper-inflated areas were less,normal and collapsed areas were greater on the ventral side,and the collapsed area was less and the normal ventilation area was greater on the dorsal side in ALIP group(all P<0.05). Conclusion In rats with LPS-induced extra pulmonary ALI,the prone ventilation can improve gas exchange,promote uniform distribution of ventilation,decrease pulmonary edema and in the mean time attenuate inflammatory response.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of and to provide help to the prevention and treatment of malignant chest tumor with nosocomial mixed fungal-bacterial infection.Methods From July 2007 to June 2015,pathogenic bacteria in sputum,blood,urine,chest incision,thoracic and abdominal fluid,and implantable medical biological material were cultivated in 5067 patients with malignant chest tumor suspected with infection.The clinical characteristics,source of specimen and pathogenic bacteria,the types of diseases,medical intervention activities of 142 cases detected with mixed fungal-bacterial infection were retrospectively analyzed.Fesult In 142 patients,104 patients at clinical stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ accounted for 73.2％,and 94 patients used antibiotics more than 14 days (66.2％);104 cases had implanted biological materials (74.7％);96 cases died (67.6％).A total of 167 strains bacteria were isolated.Sixty-one strains of G+ bacteria accounting for 36.5％ were mainly Epidermis staphylococcus and Staphylococcus aureus;106 strains of G-bacteria accounting for 63.5％ were mainly klebsiella pneumonia,Escherichia coli and baumanii;172 strains fungus mainly of Candida albicans were isolated (77.3％).Pathogenic bacteria sources were mainly sputum specimens + pharynx strip,blood culture and medical implant materials.In 72 lung cancer patients,squamous carcinoma and small cell carcinoma were 52.8％ and 33.3％ respectively,higher than adenocarcinoma (12.5％);In 42 esophageal cancer patients,postoperative patients were 42.9％.Parenteral nutrition patients with more than 10 days were 80.9％ higher than that of parenteral nutrition in patients with less than 10 days (19.1％).Conclusion Among malignant chest tumor patients with nosocomial mixed fungal-bacterial infection,the bacteria were found in staphylococcus aureus,klebsiella pneumoniae and E.coli and the fungus was Candida albicans.For clinical stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ,patients with parenteral nutrition for more than 10 days,having history of chemo or radiotherapy,with antimicrobial use for more than 14 days,and with implanted biological materials,should be warned about nosocomial mixed fungal-bacterial infection.

BACKGROUND: Permanent or transient implantation of biomaterials can result in biomaterials-centered infections (BCI) in lung cancer patients.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between BCI and peripheral blood transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) in patients with lung cancer.METHODS: A total of 248 lung cancer patients undergoing in vivo intravascular catheter indwelling > 7 days were included.Quantitative method was used for intubation, bacteriological culture and paired blood culture, and API Staph strips were adopted for positive patients. While enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect TGF-β1 levels in the peripheral blood of patients with lung cancer and 75 healthy volunteers as normal controls.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Among the 248 patients, there were 82 BCI-positive cases, and 166 BCI-negative cases.Thirteen patients were confirmed to have catheter-related bloodstream infection. There were 48 Gram-positive bacteria, 24Gram-negative bacilli, and 10 fungal. The levels of TGF-β1 were higher in BCI-positive patients than BCI-negative patients (P < 0.05); the levels of TGF-β1 in the BCI-negative group were higher than those in the normal control group (P < 0.05). For lung cancer patients with nosocomial infection induced BCI, there are various species of pathogenic bacteria, and Gram-positive bacteria are more common. To detect TGF-β1 levels in patients with lung cancer is of significance for early prevention of BCI.

Objective To study the effect of epinephrine on biofilm formation of the qseC-deleted mutant of Escherichia coli on biomaterial.Methods The strains used in this study are Escherichia coli MC1000 and MC1000AqseC.LB was used for all the experiments.To determine the effect of epinephrine on motility,halos were measured in LB medium at 37℃ in the presence of epinephrine(50 μmol/L).LB with epinephrine and without epinephrine were used,and then the experiment of bacterial biofilm formation on PVC material was taken.The relative amount of biofilm was estimated.The thickness of bacterial community and bacterial community quantity in the unit area on PVC materials were measured by confocal laser scanning microscope( CLSM),and the surface structure of biofilm formation was observed by scanning electron microscope(SEM).Results The mutant strain formed less biofilm than the wild-type strain in LB.The increment in motility of wild-type strain due to epinephrine addition was shown,but mutant strain is unaffected.Similarly,biofilm formation of the wild-type strain was increased by epinephrine,but epinephrine did not affect the biofilm formation of the qseC mutant.The CLSM and SEM showed that epinephrine stimulated biofilm formation of wild-type strain on PVC materials,but had no effect on qseC-deleted mutant strain.Conclusion Epinephrine increases Escherichia coli biofilms on biomaterials through qseC.
