Journal of Medical Research 2017;46(8):135-138
Objective To discuss the clinical characteristics of patients withclinical features of patients with neuromyelytis opica and spectrum of neuromyelytis opica(NMOSD) and neuromyelitis optica (NMO).Methods With a retrospective study,From February 2013 to September 2016,a total of 72 NMO patients in Navy General Hospital for diagnosis and treatment were selected as the NMO the NMO group and the other 72 patients of NMOSD patients were selected as the NMOSD group.The results of two groups of patients with general demographic data,ocular symptoms,spinal cord and brain MRI,influence NMO-IgG were recorded.Results There were no significant differences in gender and age compared between the two groups (P > 0.05).The clinical characteristics,frequency and duration in the NMOSD group compared to the NMO group were significantly different (P < 0.05).In the NMOSD group,there were 8 patients who were decreased vision,4 patients were visual field defect,3 patients were discoloration,5 patients were diplopia.While in the NMO group,32 patients were decreased visual acuity,14 patients were visual field defect,12 patients were color vision,21 patients were diplopia.There were statistically significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05).In the NMOSD group,there were 8 patients were MRI of the spinal cord were normal,64 patients were abnormal and 32 patients of brain lesions in the head MRI.In the NMO group,MRI of the spinal cord were all abnormal,and there were 28 patients were brain lesions in the head MRI.The serum positive rate of NMO group was 41.7%,and the serum positive rate of NMOSD group was 59.7%.The sensitivity of AQP4-Ab antibody to NMO was 44.4%,the specificity was 75%,the sensitivity of AQP4-Ab was 61.1%,and the specificity of NMOSD was 75%.Conclusion The NMOSD is more with female patients,the first symptom is more with the spinal cord that the gray matter involvement in the spinal cord,and the performance of complex,NMO-IgG antibody can be used as a support for NMOSD diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE:To study the?-lactamase production in multi-drug resistant acinetobacter baumannii isolated in clinic.METHODS:Susceptivity to antibiotics of the bacteria was measured by K-B and agar diffusion methods.The?-lac-tamase production of acinetobacter baumannii was examined by nitrocefin disc test,then their plasmid and chromosome ex-tracted as templete,the genes coded the?-lactamase were amplified by PCR with commercial kits.Furthermore,the sequence and homology of PCR products were analyzed.RESULTS:Total12acinetobacter baumannii in this study were?-lacta-mases-producing strains with a high resistance to cephalosporin.However,it is sensitive to carbapenem-antibiotics and cephalosporin with?-lactamase inhibitors,and6strains of them were confirmed that there were?-lactamases AmpC gene on plasmid by PCR amplification and sequence analysis.CONCLUSIONS:The?-lactamases AmpC mediated by plasmid would be main factor in the high resistance to cephalosporin of acinetobacter baumannii isolated clinically.

Objective To study the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase 1(CO1) gene of Oncomelania snails from Miao River area in Hubei Province.Methods Oncomelania snails were collected from Miao River area, including upstream and downstream. Genomic DNA was extracted from the tissue of the snail. PCR was used to amplify a fragment of the CO1 gene. Sequences of the CO1 fragment were determined directly from the purified PCR products by an automated sequencer. Sequences for each individual were assembled and edited using ESEE 3 0 s. A distance matrix was computed using program DNADIST of PHYLIP(3 57). Unrooted maximum likelihood trees were calculated from program FITCH.Results The amplified CO1 gene of the snail was a fragment of 638 bp in length. Sequence analysis showed that the accumulated variable sites were significant different between upstream and downstream populations, being 29 and 46, respectively. From the number of variable sites in the gene,snails in this area were roughly separated into two groups. Each of them was a mixture of both upstream and downstream snails.Same haplotypes were confirmed to be present among the collected sites along the river. From the distance matrix of sequence divergence, the population upstream vs downstream differed by 0 0221?0 0105.Conclusion There were more variation in downstream population than that in upstream.Gene flow was identified in these populations. The phylogenetic trees suggest the existence of two groups,but all of them belong to O h hupensis .

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the better management of the stoma in endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy.
METHOD:
To review the 102 chronic dacryocystitis patients (109 eyes), who underwent the endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy surgery with silver clips used to maintain the stoma. They were given combined therapy after the surgery, and were followed up for a period range from 3-73 months.
RESULT:
99/109 eyes (91%) were cured, 5/109 eyes (4.5%) were improved, and the total effective rate reached to 104/109 (95.5%).
CONCLUSION
The application of silver clip in endoscopy dacryocystorhinostomy surgery and combined therapy after the surgery can effectively prevent the stoma stenosis or atresia.

Objective:To explore the expressions of long non-coding RNA LINC00673 and ISG15 protein in pancreatic cancer and their clinical significances.Methods:The clinical data of 57 patients diagnosed as pancreatic ductal carcinoma (PDAC) at the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Xiangya Medical College of Central South University from January 2014 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The relative expressions of LINC00673 in pancreatic cancer tissues and paracancerous normal tissues (within 3 cm from the edge of cancer tissues) were examined by using quantificational reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The ISG15 protein expressions in pancreatic cancer tissues and paracancerous normal tissues were examined by using immunohistochemistry. The difference in LINC00673 expression between ISG15 protein positive and negative patients was compared. The correlation between LINC00673 and ISG15 protein expressions in pancreatic cancer was analyzed by Spearman rank correlation analysis. Moreover, the correlations of LINC00673 and ISG15 protein expressions with clinical stage and pathological classification of pancreatic cancer patients were analyzed.Results:The positive expression of ISG15 protein in pancreatic cancer tissues was 40.4% (23/57), which was higher than that in paracancerous normal tissues [15.8% (9/57)] ( χ2 = 7.90, P = 0.004), and the relative expression of LINC00673 in pancreatic cancer tissues was 0.99±0.36, which was lower than that in paracancerous normal tissues (1.26±0.41) ( t = 4.80, P < 0.001). For 23 (40.4%) ISG15-positive patients and 34 (59.7%) ISG15-negative patients, the relative expression of LINC00673 was 0.77±0.46 and 0.45±0.27 ( P < 0.001). Spearman analysis showed that there was a correlation between LINC00673 and ISG15 protein expressions ( ρ = -0.429, P = 0.001). The relative expression of LINC00673 decreased in patients with low differentiated or undifferentiated tumor, vascular invasion and lymph node metastasis (all P < 0.05), but there was no correlation between LINC00673 expression and patients' age, tumor site, preoperative CA199 level, and TNM stage (all P > 0.05); ISG15 protein expression increased in patients with low differentiated or undifferentiated tumor, TNM stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, vascular invasion and lymph node metastasis (all P < 0.05), but there was no correlation between ISG15 protein expression and patients' gender, age, tumor site, and preoperative CA199 level (all P > 0.05). Conclusions:The expression of LINC00673 in pancreatic cancer is related to vascular invasion, tumor differentiation degree and lymph node metastasis, and the expression of ISG15 in pancreatic cancer is related to vascular invasion, tumor differentiation degree, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage. The combined detection of LINC00673 and ISG15 protein could be a valuable prognostic indicator for pancreatic cancer. The therapies targeting LINC00673 and ISG15 protein signaling pathways are expected to be a potential option for immunotherapy of pancreatic cancer.
