Objective To explore the clinical efficacy,adverse reactions and serum levels of IL -10 and TNF-αin children with peptic ulcer undergoing sequential therapy.Methods 68 children with peptic ulcer were selected and randomly divided into two groups,34 cases in each group.The control group received quadruple therapy, namely omeprazole,amoxicillin,clarithromycin and bismuch treatment for seven days.The treatment group underwent sequential therapy:the first 5 d of oral omeprazole,amoxicillin treatment,and the next 5 d omeprazole,amoxicillin and inidazole treatment.The clinical efficacy,adverse reactions,IL-10 and TNF-αlevels of the two groups were com-pared.Results The total effective rates after treatment of the control group and treatment group were 88.24% and 91.18% respectively,there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups(χ2 =1.21,P>0.05). After treatment,the levels of IL-10 and TNF-αin the control group were (24.93 ±6.29)pg/mL and (37.93 ± 8.28)pg/mL,which were significantly decreased (t=5.52,P<0.05,t=8.51,P<0.01).And the levels of IL-10 and TNF-αin the treatment group were (21.36 ±6.31)pg/mL and (29.67 ±6.38)pg/mL,which were significantly decreased(t=11.15,12.29,all P<0.01).The levels of IL-10 and TNF -αof the treatment group were much significant than those of the control group after the sequential therapy (t=3.32,P<0.05,t=8.71,P<0.01). Conclusion Sequential therapy for the treatment of children with peptic ulcer has better effect than the quadruple therapy,and can reduce serum IL-10 and TNF-αlevels,it is worthy of promoting.

Objective To investigate the change of blood lactate level in children with severe sepsis,and its relationship with clinical prognosis.Methods 90 children with severe sepsis who treated in our hospital from February 201 3 to May 201 4 were selected as the study subjects.According to the prognosis of children,they were divided into survival group and death group,45 cases in each group.The blood lactate levels at different time points, blood lactate clearance rates between the two groups at different time points as well as fibrin,oxygenation index and D -dimer levels were compared after admission.Results After treatment,the fibrin,oxygenation index and D -dimer levels in the two groups were improved.The fibrin and D -dimer levels in the survival group[(2.71 ±0.31 )ng/mL, (0.89 ±0.1 0)mg/L)]were lower than those in the death group[(2.89 ±0.21 )ng/mL,(1 .26 ±0.1 8)mg/L)],the differences were significant(t =3.224,P =0.001 ;t =1 2.053,P =0.000).The oxygenation index of the survival group[(1 96.23 ±1 4.69)mmHg)]was higher than that of the death group [(1 80.23 ±21 .03 )mmHg)],the difference was significant(t =4.1 84,P =0.000).The EGOT compliance rate,APACHE Ⅱscore and MODS incidence rate of survival group were significantly lower than those of the death group,the differences were significant(t =7.200,P =0.007;t =9.1 49,P =0.000;t =29.298,P =0.000).The blood lactate levels at each time points in the survival group were significantly lower than the death group,the differences were statistically significant(t =50.543, P =0.000;t =33.932,P =0.000;t =1 7.91 5,P =0.000;t =28.703,P =0.000).The 6 h,24 h blood lactate clearance rates≥1 0% of the survival group (73.33%,80.00%)were significantly higher than those of the death group(37.78%,44.44%),the differences were significant(χ2 =1 1 .520,P =0.000;χ2 =1 2.1 00,P =0.000). Conclusion Lactate level in children with sepsis is an important indicator of prognosis in children with severe sepsis,with guidance for the treatment of children with sepsis.

Objective To investigate the role of PDR1 gene in azole-resistant Candida glabrata (C.glabrata).Methods Thirty-eight clinical isolates of C.glabrata were collected from five different hospitals.The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of azole antifungals including fluconazole,itraconazole and voriconazole against C.glabrata were determined by broth microdilution.Sequencing and amplification of PDR1 gene was achieved by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR).The mutation was cloned into an expression plasmid and then transferred into C.glabrata.The efflux of rhodamine 6G and drug sensitivity test were performed,and expressions of CDR1 and CDR2 were examined to verify function of mutation.Results Among these 38 isolates of C.glabrata,17 were resistant to at least one of azole antifungals.Moreover,mutations of PDR1 gene existed in every resistant isolates.Results of phenotyping test showed that in the isolate that expressed PDR1P927S,the expression of CDR1 and CDR2 were increased by 20.53 and 4.03 fold,respectively.And the fluorescence intensity of rhodamine 6G was decreased to 0.62 in efflux experiment.Conclusion P927S mutation of PDR1 gene could induce azole resistance of C.glabrata by increasing the expressions of CDR1 and CDR2,which results in drug resistance due to enhanced effect of efflux pump.

Objective To investigate the mechanisms of fluconazole resistance in clinical and experimental induced isolates of C.glabrata.Methods Efflux of rhodamine 6G was performed to evaluate the effects of efflux pumps.The expression levels of transporter genes CDR1,CDR2,SNQ2 and ERG11 were examined by real-time RT-PCR.Meanwhile,sequence of PDR1 was determined by PCR based DNA sequencing.Results Efflux pumps of all fluconazole-resistant isolates had stronger effects than that of susceptible isolates,consistently with significant upregulation of CDR1,but no obvious difference was found in CDR2 or SNQ2.Also,no notable change in the expression level of ERG11 between susceptible and resistant isolates.PDR1 mutations existed in both clinical and experimental induced isolates of C.glabrata,among which P927S,L543P and S947L haven't been reported previously.Conclusion Mutations of PDR1 were induced by fluconazole both in vivo andin vitro,which will result in overexpression of CDR1 and strengthen the effect of efflux pump.

Objective miRNA-122 levels may correlate with liver cancer prognosis,and therefore understanding its expression is crucial for future treatment.This study investigates the effect of DNA methylation on the expression of liver specific miRNA-122 and its effects on proliferation and apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells.Methods Methylation sequencing detected the methylation of the miRNA-122 promoter region,and the level of miRNA-122 expression was measured by using real-time quantitative PCR.The proliferation and apoptosis of hepatocellular cell lines were detected by flow cytometry and CCK8.Results Compared with human primary hepatocytes [(21.9 ± 11.4)％],the level of miRNA-122 promoter methylation in Huh7,HepG2,and QSG-7701 cell lines were (87.6±9.3) ％,(89.0 ± 14.3)％,and (69.5 ±11.5)％,respectively.This represents a significant increase (P=0.000),especially in Huh7 and HepG2 cell lines.Compared with human primary hepatocytes (2.83× 104 ±3746),the levels of miR-122 expression in the above three cell lines were significantly decreased,especially in Huh7 and HepG2 cell lines (P=0.007).After treatment with 5-Aza-dc,the degree of methylation in Huh7 and HepG2 cell lines were significantly lower than that of the blank group (P=0.038,P=0.025),and the levels of miRNA-122 expression were significantly elevated (P=0.008,P=0.003).Also,compared with the control groups,the apoptosis of Huh7 cells and HepG2 cells were significantly increased (P=0.001,0.027).Conclusion The expression of miRNA-122 is regulated by DNA methylation and correlated with the apoptosis of liver cancer cells.Therfore,the methylation regulation of miRNA-122 expression might be involved in the occurrence and development of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To assess the application value of REP-PCR in genotyping of candida glabrata strains in clinical pratice. MethodsFrom 2009 to 2010, thirty-eight candida glabrata strains were isolated from Shanghai Ruijin Hospitals, Shanghai Renji Hospital, Shanghai Huashan Hospital, Anhui Medical University Hospital, Shenzhen People's Hospital. Six loci in housekeeping genes (FKS, LEU2,NMT1, TRP1, UGP1 and URA3 ) were amplified and sequenced. The sequences were compared with the MIST database and allele profile and sequence type (ST) were obtained. With primers Ca21, Ca22 and Com21 used to amplify the adjacent variable gene regions,the amplicons were analyzed through electrophoresis to generate different REP-PCR types. Finally, the results of these two genotyping methods were compared. ResultsFor REP-PCR, Ca22-Com21 has the best genotyping effect. REP-PCR and MLST have the same genotyping results. Five REP-PCR types were found in 38 candida glabrsta isolates. Type A,B, C, D and E strains from REP-PCR were genotyped as ST 7, 3, 19, 45 and new type respectively byMIST. REP-PCR saves time compared with MIST. Conclusions REP-PCR offers a simple and rapid method for molecular typing, with similar discriminatory power with MIST. Therefore, REP-PCR can be the preferred choice in laboratory, especially for a large number of isolates.

Objeetive To analyze traffic accidents involving pedestrians in Chongqing from 2000 to 2006 so as to understand injury characteristics of the pedestrians. MethodsThe data of pedestrian road traffic crashes and injuries in three districts including one district in downtown,one in suburb and one in county of Chongqing from 2000 to 2006 were collected from road traffic crash and road traffic injury database to analyze severity of crashes,casualties,action and location of pedestrians in crashes. Results The road crashes led to 7 934 pedestrian injuries (24.74％) and 867 pedestrian deaths (49.46％).Intensity of the pedestrian road crashes in rural areas was higher than that in downtowns and suburbs.Of all pedestrian casualties,57.91％ were due to illegally crossing the driveway,and 15.43％ of the casualties were on the crosswalk.Most of the casualties occurred on the main roads,the third class highways and second main roads in Chongqing.But serious crashes occurred on the first and second class highways and substandard highways,which led to average 3.17,4.13 and 5.42 deaths,respectively.Pedestrians accounting for 52.46％ of the total severe injuries were more than the proportion among the minor to moderate injuries.Head injuries were the most common for the pedestrians and chest injuries were also usual among the severe injuries. Conclusions The intensity of pedestrian road crashes is higher than that of other crashes,especially in rural areas.It should be noticed that the main injuries of the pedestrians are head injuries,which is mainly resulted from illegally crossing driveway.It is worth noticing that a rather high proportion of pedestrians are impaired on the crosswalks,indicating that we should pay more attention to protect right of the pedestrians on the crosswalks during transportation law enforcement and safety education in the future.

ObjectiveTo study the characteristics and risk factors of traffic injuries among the adolescents (0-19 years old) in the urban and rural areas of Chongqing and discuss the preventive strategy. MethodsData of road traffic crashes and injuries involving 0-19 years old adolescents over a seven-year period (2000-2006) in three districts of Chongqing was picked up from Road _Traffic Crashes and Injuries Database. Epidemiological characteristics of the traffic crashes and injuries among 0-19 years old adolescents were analyzed and differences between rural and urban areas were studied. ResultsFrom 2000 to 2006, both incidence rate and mortality rate peaked in the urban fringe area were 95.43/100 000 and 3.44/100 000 respectively. Traffic accidents in the suburbs and counties had the highest injury extent, with mortality rate of 9.06％ and severe injury rate of 17.33％. Brain injuries were the primary cause of death. Among the victims, 62.7％ were the pedestrians, of which 20.72％ bore equal responsibility because of disobeying traffic signals, suddenly walking across roads and not walking along the sidewalk. Ninety percentage of the traffic accidents occurred in the sections with no traffic signals or traffic control system. ConclusionIt is important to enhance the traffic safety consciousness of teenagers and children, strengthen preventive measures in fringe areas and rural areas and improve the emergency medical system in rural areas to provide the teenagers and children with a safety traffic environment.
