Objective To analyze drug resistance phenotypes and clinical distribution characteristics of clinically isolated carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP),and provide evidence for rational use of antimicrobial agents and control of healthcare-associated infection(HAI). Methods CRKP isolated from inpatients in a hospital in 2013-2015 were collected,sources of specimens and homology of antimicrobial susceptibility of pathogens were analyzed. Results Of 949 non-repetitive strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae,75 (7.90% )were CRKP strains. The detection rates of CRKP from 2013 to 2015 were 1.35% ,7.77% ,and 17.04% respectively,which showed an up-ward trend year by year,difference was statistically significant(P<0.01). The main infection sites of CRKP were respiratory tract and urinary tract,CRKP mainly distributed in intensive care unit(ICU),geriatrics and emergency departments. Susceptibility rates of CRKP to amikacin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole were 57.33% and 48. 00% respectively. 22 (29.33% )cases of CRKP infection were community-acquired and 53 (70.67% )were health-care-associated infection. 18 (24.00% )cases died among 75 CRKP infected patients. According to drug resistance phenotype analysis,there were 5 clones of CRKP strains,mainly distributed in ICU,geriatrics and emergency de-partments.Conclusion The proportion of CRKP infection is increasing year by year,clinical monitoring on CRKP should be strengthened,intensive infection control measures should be tarken,so as to prevent and control the spread and prevalence of CRKP.

5.Study on effect of naringenin in inhibiting migration and invasion of breast cancer cells and its molecular mechanism.
China Journal of Chinese Materia Medica 2015;40(6):1144-1150
OBJECTIVETo study the effect of nadroparin in the migration of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 and its action mechanism.
METHODThe MTT test was adopted to observe the effect of different concentrations of naringenin on the growth capacity of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231. Wound healing and transwell experiment analysis were conducted to detect the effect of naringenin on the migration of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231. Western blotting was adopted to investigate the effect of naringenin on protein expressions of MDA-MB-231 cell Integrin β3, β1 and matrix metalloproteinase MMP-2 and MMP-9. The computer virtual docking technique was used to evaluate the combining capacity of naringenin and Integrin β3 in vitro.
RESULTNaringenin inhibited the migration of MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose-dependent manner. In wound healing and transwell experiments, with the increase in the concentration of naringenin, the number of migrant MDA-MB-231 cells and the invasion capacity of breast cancer cells decreased. Naringenin could inhibit the protein expression of Integrin β3 in a dose-dependent manner, but with unobvious effect on expression of Integrin β1. Besides, naringenin could significantly inhibit the protein expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9. The results of the computer virtual docking showed a negative value in the combining capacity between naringenin and Integrin β3, indicating the high affinity between them.
CONCLUSIONNaringenin can inhibit the growth capacity of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 and block the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231. Its mechanism is to down-regulate MMP-2 and MMP-9 expressions after combining with Integrin β3.
