BACKGROUND: Clinically, in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can be associated with delayed platelet engraftment, phenotypically abnormal peripheral blood leukocytes, and graft rejection, possibly through a direct viral effect on hematopoietic progenitor cells after HCMV infection. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the inhibitory effect of ganciclovir (GCV) on proliferation of colony forming unit (CFU) granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM), CFU-erythroid (CFU-E), CFU T-lymphocyte (CFU-TL), CFU-multipotential (CFU-Mix) and CFU-megakaryocyte (CFU-Mk) progenitor cells of cord blood (CB) and the protective effects on them. DESIGN: Contrast observational study.SETTING: Department of Molecular Biology, Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical College.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 20 cord blood (CB) samples (with 10 mL for each sample) from fetal umbilical vein of normal term spontaneous delivery neonates were provided by the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical College. All the patients were informed and agreed with the experiment.METHODS: The experiment was carried out in the Department of Molecular Biology, Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical College from June 2004 to December 2006. Colony forming unit-assay was applied to observe the suppression effect of HCMV-AD169 strain on CFU-GM, CFU-E, CFU-TL, CFU-Mix and CFU-Mk of CB with the presence of GCV. The techniques of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and fluorescence quantification PCR were used to demonstrate the existence of HCMV-AD169 DNA in the colony cells of cultured CFU-GM, CFU-E, CFU-TL, CFU-Mix and CFU-Mk. Normal progenitor cells culture system was regarded as blank control group; normal progenitor cells culture system with inactivated HCMV fluid as inactivated (IV) control group.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① The number and maintaining duration of colonies of cultured progenitor cells were counted by using a light inverted phase contrast microscope. ② The techniques of PCR and fluorescence quantification PCR were used to demonstrate the existence of HCMV-AD169 DNA in the colony cells of cultured progenitor cells.RESULTS: ① Number and lasting time of colonies: The numbers of CFU-GM, CFU-E, CFU-TL, CFU-Mix and CFU-Mk colonies in the HCMV infection group were significantly less than those in the blank control group (P < 0.01). The maintaining duration of colonies in the HCMV infection group was significantly shorter than that in the blank control group (P < 0.01). HCMV-DNA copies of colony cells of GCV group decreased significantly by using fluorescence quantification PCR compared with HCMV group (P < 0.01), while negative in blank control and inactivated control in CFU-MK and CFU-Mix. ② CFU Growth rate: The Growth rate of colonies was 37.4%, 74.2%, 40.1%, 67.4% and 38.9% of CFU-GM, CFU-E, CFU-TL, CFU-Mix and FU-MK, respectively. ③ CFU-HCMV-AD169 DNA: Fluorescence quantification PCR showed that nucleonic acid content of progenitor cells after GCV-affected HCMV infection was decreased as compared with that after HCMV infection (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: The differentiation and proliferation of CFU-GM, CFU-E, CFU-TL, CFU-Mix and CFU-Mk are significantly inhibited after infected with CMV-AD169 strain. The growth of hematopoietic progenitor cell after HCMV-AD169 infection is promoted by GCV, which suggests that GCV has an effect of anti-HCMV in vitro.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the changes in the quantity of colonizing Streptococcus mutans(S. mutans) and Actinomyces on the root surface plaque before and after post-core crown restoration of the mandibular first molars in the elderly patients.
METHODSA total of 30 elderly patients, each with one post-core crown restoration of the mandibular first molar, were randomly chosen to participate in the studies. Patients with mandibular first molars with post-core crown restoration and those with healthy contralateral mandibular first molars were divided into the test and control groups, respectively. Root surface plaques of the two groups were collected before tooth preparation, 72 h after preparation, one week after preparation, and one month after restoration. S. mutans, Actinomyces naeslundii (A. naeslundii) and Actinomyces viscosus (A. viscosus), were identified using colony morphology, biochemical techniques, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Plaque count was measured using microbial colony count.
RESULTSThe number of S. mutans and A. viscosus and A. naeslundii in the test group, which was statistically significant (P<0.05), increased 72 h after preparation. The quantities of S. mutans, A. viscosus, and A. naeslundii one week after preparation were significantly different (P<0.05). The plaque count of S. mutans, A. viscosus, and A. naeslundii in the test group decreased one month after restoration (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe quantities of S. mutans, A. viscosus and A. naeslundii increase one week after preparation but decrease one month after restoration. The finding suggests that dentists should educate patients about plaque control during the early period after tooth preparation.

OBJECTIVETo observe the changes in subgingival microflora before and after Er:YAG laser treatment on diabetic patients with periodontitis, and to compare with the subgingival microflora of chronic periodontitis.
METHODSSubgingival plaque of 13 pairs of teeth (26 sites) was selected from type 2 diabetic patients at pretreatment, one month post-treatment, and three months post-treatment. Subgingival plaque was also obtained from 11 cases of moderate to severe chronic periodontitis with similar severity of periodontitis. The DNA of the subgingival plaque samples was extracted. Whole bacterial 16S rDNA gene fragments separated by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. Specific DNA bands were then chosen for retrieval and sequencing.
RESULTSThe gene sequencing results of the special DNA bands of subgingival plaque samples show that the pathogenic bacteria of both diabetic periodontitis and simple chronic periodontitis were Prevotella intermedia and Tannerella forsythia, respectively. The composition of the subgingival microflora before and after laser treatment changed. Some DNA bands, including that of Tannerella forsythia, disappeared or weakened one month after treatment. A new strip appeared, which belonged to Actinomyces sp.
CONCLUSIONThe profiles of the subgingival microflora changed after treatment, and one month was indicated as an important stage. Er:YAG laser may have an important function in delaying microflora recolonization.

Objective To analyze the diagnostic procedures and treatment strategies in the mycotic aneurysm caused by Salmonella enterica serotype choleraesuis infection in a single medical center. Methods From January 2000 to December 2008, clinical data of 8 cases with infected aneurysm caused by Salmonella enterica serotype choleraesuis were analyzed. Results All cases were treated with endovascular stent-graft treatment, including abdominal aortic aneurysm in six cases, thoracic aortic aneurysm in one, and popliteal artery aneurysm in one case. Six bifurcated stent-graft and two tube stent-graft were used. The surgical success rate was 100% with no perioperative or 30-day mortality nor major morbidity. All of the patients recovered uneventfully and were discharged with oral antibacterial agents. During mid-term follow up (range 15-36 months), four patients are alive and well with no signs of persistent or recurrent infection, three cases with recurrent infection were cured by drainage of local abscess and debridement, one case died of rupture of the abdominal aortic aneurysm. Conclusion Endovascular grafting combined with antibiotic therapy and careful surveillance program represent an alternative to conventional surgery in mycotic aneurysms caused by Salmonella enterica serotype choleraesuis.
