Objective: To explore the molecular basis for a pedigree affected with May-Hegglin anomaly (MHA). Methods: Peripheral blood samples were collected and subjected to DNA extraction. Exons 1, 10, 16, 24, 25, 26, 30, 31, 33, 38 and 40 and flanking sequences of the MYH9 gene were subjected to PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing. Changes in protein expression were determined by an indirect immunofluorescence assay. Platelet aggregation function of the proband was assessed by thromboelastogram. Results: The proband and his second son both carried a heterozygous 5521G>A (GAG→AAG) missense variant in exon 38 of the MYH9 gene, leading to p. Glu1841Lys substitution at position 1841 of amino acid sequence. Immunofluorescence showed inclusions containing NMMHC-ⅡA. Thromboelastogram suggested enhanced platelet aggregation function of the proband. Conclusion The c. 5521G>A variant of MYH9 gene has co-segregated with the phenotype of MHA in this pedigree. To assess the aggregation function of platelet by thromboelastogram can predict the risk of bleeding in MHA patients.

Arabinose-5-phosphate isomerase (KdsD) is the first key limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate (KDO). KdsD gene was cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET-HTT by seamless DNA cloning method and the amount of soluble recombinant protein was expressed in a soluble form in E. coli BL21 (DE3) after induction of Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). The target protein was separated and purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and size exclusion chromatography, and its purity was more than 85%. Size exclusion chromatography showed that KdsD protein existed in three forms: polymers, dimmers, and monomers in water solution, different from microbial KdsD enzyme with the four polymers in water solution. Further, the purified protein was identified through Western blotting and MALDI-TOF MASS technology. The results of activity assay showed that the optimum pH and temperature of AtKdsD isomerase activities were 8.0 and 37 ℃, respectively. The enzyme was activated by metal protease inhibitor EDTA (5 mmol/L) and inhibited by some metal ions at lower concentration, especially with Co²⁺ and Cd²⁺ metal ion. Furthermore, when D-arabinose-5-phosphate (A5P) was used as substrate, Km and Vmax of AtKdsD values were 0.16 mmol/L, 0.18 mmol/L·min. The affinity of AtKdsD was higher than KdsD in E. coli combined with substrate. Above results have laid a foundation for the KdsD protein structure and function for its potential industrial application.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the mechanism of drug resistance of carbapenems-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) in burn patients and the antimicrobial activity of a combination of drugs against this bacteria in vitro.

METHODSA total of 135 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii (AB) from wound excretion, sputum, and venous catheter wall of patients hospitalized in our department from January 2011 to July 2013 were collected individually. Drug resistance of 135 strains of AB to 12 antibiotics commonly-used in clinic was detected using K-B paper diffusion method. Among the CRAB strains, double-disk synergy test was used to screen metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing strains, and the drug resistance rates between MBL-producing strains and non-MBL-producing strains were compared. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), 50% MIC (MIC50), and 90% MIC (MIC90) of cefoperazone/sulbactam, imipenem, cefepime, ampicillin/sulbactam, and amikacin used alone against MBL-producing CRAB were determined by broth microdilution method. MIC, MIC50, and MIC90 of amikacin respectively combined with imipenem, cefoperazone/sulbactam, cefepime, or ampicillin/sulbactam against MBL-producing CRAB were determined by checkerboard method with diluted agar. Fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index was calculated to determine the antibacterial effect of each combination of two antibiotics. Synergy with FIC lower than or equal to 0.5, or additivity with FIC higher than 0.5 and lower than or equal to 1.0 was regarded as effective, and indifference with FIC higher than 1.0 and lower than or equal to 2.0 or antagonism with FIC higher than 2.0 was regarded as ineffective. The effective rate was calculated. Data were processed with Chi-square test.

RESULTSThe resistant rates of the 135 strains of AB to imipenem, meropenem, and ceftazidime were high, and those of piperacillin/tazobactam and ampicillin/sulbactam were low. A total of 120 strains of CRAB was screened, accounting for 88.89%, among which the MBL-producing strains accounted for 78.33% (94/120). The resistant rates of MBL-producing strains to piperacillin/tazobactam, imipenem, meropenem, piperacillin, and cefepime were respectively 59.5%, 87.2%, 93.5%, 87.0%, 86.0%, and they were significantly higher than those of non-MBL-producing strains (respectively 43.0%, 81.3%, 87.5%, 78.4%, 64.0%, with χ(2) values from 4.571 to 8.260, P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Among the inhibition concentrations of each of the 5 antibiotics used alone against MBL-producing strains, MIC, MIC50, and MIC90 of ampicillin/sulbactam were the lowest, respectively 4.00, 16, 64 µg/mL, while those of cefepime were high, respectively 32.00, 128, 512 µg/mL. MIC, MIC50, and MIC90 of amikacin combined with each of the other 4 antibiotics were decreased from 50.00% to 98.44% as compared with that of single administration of each antibiotic. Among the 94 strains of MBL-producing CRAB, the synergic, additive, indifferent, and antagonistic effects were respectively observed in 40, 33, 6, and 15 strains applied with combination of amikacin and ampicillin/sulbactam; 42, 30, 5, 17 strains applied with combination of amikacin and cefoperazone/sulbactam; 38, 15, 19, 22 strains applied with combination of amikacin and cefepime; 34, 2, 37, 21 strains applied with combination of amikacin and imipenem, among which the antibacterial effective rates decreased successively, respectively 77.7%, 76.6%, 56.4%, and 38.3%. The former two rates were respectively significantly higher than the latter two rates (with χ(2) values from 8.618 to 29.889, P values below 0.01).

CONCLUSIONSProduction of MBL is the main mechanism of resistance of the CRAB isolated from burn patients hospitalized in our department against carbapenems in about 3 years. The antibacterial effects of amikacin combined with each of the former-mentioned 4 agents are better than those of each of the five antibiotics used singly, and the effects are particularly obvious when combining amikacin with compound agent containing enzyme inhibitors.
