Objective To investigate the impact of functional enhancement of efflux pump system and reduced permeability of outer membrane on high-level multiple resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae.Methods Several high-level multiple resistant isolates with erythromycin MIC=128.0 mg/L,accompanied by concurrent resistance to several antimicrobial agents,were selected.13 bp inverted sequence positioned within the mtrR promoter region were amplified by PCR and directly sequenced to detect the possible gene change.The outer membrane proteins of the strains were extracted to analyze the constitutive profiles by SDS-PAGE.Results There were no gene mutations in 5 sensitive strains.All the 3 high-level multiple resistant strains contained the same mutation and exhibited a single A/T base pair deletion in 13 bp inverted sequence positioned within the mtrR promoter region.Meanwhile porin protein 31 ku deficiency was found in all the 3 resistant strains.Conclusion The functional enhancement of efflux pump system induced by a single A/T base pair deletion in 13 bp inverted sequence positioned within the mtrR promoter region and the decreased cell envelope permeability induced by the absence of porin protein may have some effect on mediating high-level multiple resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Objective: To evaluate different patterns for left ventricular configuration on ventricular systolic function in patients with primary hypertension by two-dimensional strain (2DS) echocardiography. Methods: Our research included in 2 groups: Control group,n=40 healthy volunteers, Primary hypertension group,n=70, based on left ventricular mass index, the patients were further divided into 2 subgroups as Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) subgroup, n=32 and Non-left ventricular hypertrophy (NLVH) subgroup,n=38. The peaks of systolic longitude strain (SSL) for left ventricular apical layers of subendocardium, midmyocardium and epicardium were compared among different groups. Results:①In Control group and LVH, NLVH subgroups, SSL in different myocardium layers were kept in gradient features as subendocardium > midmyocardium > epicardium.②Compared with Control group, NLVH and LVH subgroups showed decreased SSL of subendocardium, as in apical four chamber level: (-24.11 ± 3.52) % and (-22.78 ± 4.11) % vs (-27.49 ± 2.95) %, in apical two chamber level: (-22.79 ± 5.20) % and (-21.92 ± 4.88) % vs (-27.95 ± 3.13) %, and in apical long-axis level: (-20.07 ± 3.43)%and (-21.34 ± 3.64%)% vs (-27.24 ± 3.05) %, allP<0.05; while SSL in midmyocardium and epicardium were similar,P>0.05.③Compared with NLVH subgroup, LVH subgroup presented decreased SSL of long-axis, in midmyocardium (-17.77 ± 4.35) % vs (-21.73 ± 3.97) % and in epicardium (-14.25 ± 3.78) % vs (-18.27 ± 2.96) %, allP<0.05. The pearson correlation coefifcient calculated by 2 physicians at 2 different times showed that SSL of subendocardium wasr=0.876, of midmyocardium was r=0.838 and of epicardium was r=0.823, allP<0.05. Conclusion: 2DS may quantitatively evaluate the layered myocardial strain of left ventricle, it provided a non-invasive examination for early diagnosing and estimating the heart involvement with severity in patients of primary hypertension.
