Peripheral blood DNA is a kind of extracellular free DNA that existing in plasma or serum.Many researchers have already found that circulating DNA level of cancer patients is significantly higher than that of healthy individuals. The alteration in peripheral blood DNA level and gene expression are closely associated with the occurrence, development and prognosis of cancer. Therefore, it is valuable to detect peripheral blood DNA expression for early diagnosis, therapeutic monitoring and prognosis. This article reviews recent advanced progress in research on peripheral blood DNA detection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Food allergy and asthma may frequently coexist.Children with food allergy are more than 2 to 4 times as likely to have other atopic conditions such as asthma,eczema,or respiratory allergy compared to children without food allergies.One third of children with food allergy have asthma and 4％-8％ of children with asthma have food allergies.Double-blind place-controlled food challenge test is the best way to investigate the relationships of asthma and food allergy.Apart from allergen avoidance in patients with documented IgE-mediated food allergies,there are no recommendations to avoid any foods in the treatment of asthma.For patients with asthma and food allergy together,information should be delievered to parents in order to recognize and avoid to affending foods properly.

Although quinolone resistance results mostly from chromosomal mutations in Enterobacteriaceae,it may also be mediated by plasmid-encoded Qnr determinants.Qnr proteins protect DNA from quinolone action and compromise the effect of quinolones,such as nalidixic acid.Qnr proteins including QnrA,QnrB and QnrS,have been identified worldwide with a quite high prevalence among Asian isolates with a frequent association with clavulanic acid-inhibited expanded-spectrum b-lactamases and plasmid-mediated cephalosporinases.The QnrA genes are embedded in complex sul1-type integrons.A close relative and likely progenitor of the QnrA have been found in the water-borne species Shewanella algae.It may help to determine the location of in vivo transfer of the QnrA genes.Further analyses of the role of quinolones,if any,in enhancing this gene transfer may prevent the spreading of the drug resistance and possibly lead to the finding of a novel mechanism of antibiotic resistance.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the production of AmpC enzyme and ESBLs in Gram-negative bacilli and their drug-resistance to provide basis for reasonable use of antibiotics in clinical practice.METHODS All bacteria were identified by VITEK-32 system and disk test.RESULTS The main five strains of all 184 Gram-negative bacilli were Pseudomonas aeruginosa(24.4%),Acinetobacter baumannii(19.3%),Enterobacter cloacae(14.8%),Escherichia coli(10.2%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae(9.7%).The AmpC enzyme-producing rate was 53.8% and 14.7% in E.cloacae and A.baumannii the ESBLs-producing rate was 35.3%(12/34) and 15.4%(4/26) in A.baumannii and E.cloacae.P.aeruginosa was sensitive to imipenem and the drug-resistance rate of K.pneumoniae was 0%.CONCLUSIONS ESBLs and AmpC enzymes are important mechanisms of the drug-resistance of Gram-negative bacilli.

Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics of malaria in Wuxi City,and explore effective strat?egies and measures for malaria elimination. Methods The data on malaria cases in Wuxi from 2005 to 2014 were collected and analyzed. Results In Wuxi City,from 2005 to 2014,201 malaria cases were reported,of which,there were 52 local cases and 149 imported cases. Totally 156 malaria cases were reported from 2005 to 2009,of which 6 cases were infected with Plasmodi?um falciparum,and 45 malaria cases were reported from 2010 to 2014,of which 23 cases were infected with P. falciparum. From 2005 to 2009,the ratio of male to female was 2.39:1. Migrant workers,farmers and workers were the major infected popu?lations,with a proportion of 41.03%,17.95% and 9.62%,respectively. From 2010 to 2014,the ratio of male to female was 10.25:1. Workers,farmers and migrant workers were the major infected populations,with a proportion of 37.78%,11.11%and 6.67%,respectively. The peak of malaria incidence was observed from May to October. From 2005 to 2009,most cases were re?ported by CDCs,and from 2010 to 2014,most cases were reported by medical institution. There was an increase in proportion of P. falciparum. Conclusion The control and prevention of malaria should focus on imported cases in the future in Wuxi. The doctors should improve the capacity of malaria diagnosis and treatment.
