OBJECTIVE To investigate the variation of in vitro activity,the ?-lactamases,type diversity and the homology of multiple resistances in Acinetobacter isolated.METHODS The multiple resistant Acinetobacter were selected to detect susceptibility test by K-B antimicrobial agents.The resistant rates were analyzed by WHONET 5.4,the isolates ?-lactamases phenotype was detected by three-dimensional test,genomic types were measured by PFGE.The ?-lactamases genotype was determined by PCR assay with specific-primer,and DNA sequencing was also used to analyze resistance-related gene.RESULTS Twenty-eight of 45 strains were OXA producing strains(68.3%),10 strains were IMP producing strains(24.4%),13 strains were TEM producing strains(31.7%),18 strains were CTX-M producing strains(43.9%),6 strains were PER producing strains(14.6%),and 7 strains were AmpC producing strains(17.1%).None produced SHV ?-lactamases.Twenty-four strains were produced 2 or more than 2 kinds of ?-lactamases.CONCLUSIONS The multiple resistance of Acinetobacter can produce kinds of ?-lactamases,but producing ?-lactamases are not the only one mechanism.

Objectives To evaluate mini/VITAL and BacT/Alert, two fully automated blood culture systems. Methods Standard mini/VITAL AER and ANA bottles (bioM′erieux, Marcy 1′Etoile, France) and BacT/Alert FAN aerobic and FAN anerobic bottles (organon Netherlands) were used. The bottles were analysed over a period of 7 days. A total of 600 samples of blood, 108 samples of body fluid, and 100 strains of imitation were detected by mini/VITAL and BacT/Alert parallelly. The bottles of flagged positive were smeared and Gram stained before being examined under a microscope. Subcultures were performed in parallel on fresh blood agar and chocolate agar incubated in microaerophilic Conditions with 5% CO 2. All the bottles flagged negative were examined in the same conditions as the positive bottles. Results mini/VITAL: The positive rate for aerobic and anaerobic blood cultures was 10% and 5% respectively, for aerobic body fluid culture was 26 9%. No contaminants were detected. 0.5% false positive and 0.8% false negative were detected. 90% of positive sample were detected in 48 h. The shortest time of report of positive bottles was 1.5 h for blood culture. BacT/Alert: The rate of positive of aerobic and anaerobic blood culture was 9.8% and 5% respectively. The positive rate of body fluid culturs was 26.9%. There were used 3 bottles contaminated. The false positive and false negative rate were 0.5% and 0 98% respective. 95.5% of positive bottles were detected in 48 h. The shortest time of flagged positive was 2.5 h. Conclusion mini/VITAL and BacT/Alert were accurate automated blood culture systems for the detection of bacteremia. There was no significant difference on the speed of detection between BacT/Alert FAN bottles and mini/VITAL standard bottles.

Objective To investigate the localization of Smad2, Smad3, Smad4, and Smad7 proteins and their expression changes in the 5/6 subtotally nephrectomized rat kidney. Methods The rat model of chronic renal failure was established by performing 5/6 subtotally nephrectomy (SNx) and rats in the control group underwent sham-operation. The rats were sacrificed at 4, 8, and 12 week after operation. The sites and levels of expressions of Smad2, Smad3, Smad4, and Smad7 proteins were examined by immunohistochemical staining. Renal fibrosis was assessed by measuring tissue hydroxyproline. Results Immunohistochemical staining indicated that Smad2, Smad3, and Smad4 proteins were mainly expressed in glomeruli and renal tubular cells, while Smad protein 7 was expressed in glomeruli, but rarely in proximal renal tubular cells. Expressions of Smad2, Smad3, and Smad4 proteins in glomeruli were significantly increased during 4-12 weeks after 5/6 nephrectomy, but the expression level of Smad protein 7 was significantly decreased, but accompanied increase of hydroxyproline content in the renal tissues. Conclusion These results indicate that TGF-?/Smad signaling is involved in the progress of chronic glomerulosclerosis. The high level expressions of Smad2, Smad3, and Smad4 proteins and the down-regulation of Smad7 protein may be the major cause of the glomerulosclerosis in this model.
