Objective To investigate the distribution and the antibiotic resistance genes carried by classⅠintegron and insertion sequence common region(ISCR1)among clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii. Methods Fifty-one clinical isolates of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii were collected. Polymerase chain reaction method was used to detect the classⅠintegrase gene, variable region of classⅠintegron, ISCR1 and genes related to antibiotics resistance lo-cated downstream of ISCR1 in 51 multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. Antibiotics resistance genes carried by classⅠintegron and ISCR1 were performed by DNA sequencing. The relationship between classⅠintegron and ISCR1 was detected by PCR-mapping. Results Among 51 multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates, 45 strains were found con-taining classⅠintegrase genes, 32 strains were found containing variable regions. Sequencing results showed that the gene cassette arrays were aacA4-catB8-aadA1, aacC1-orfA-orf-B-aadA1 and blaPSE-1-aadA2-cmlA1-aadA1. Twenty-two strains were found containing ISCR1 and 5 strains were found containing resistance genes located downstream of ISCR1. DNA sequencing results showed the resistant gene of qnrA1-ampR. The results of PCR-mapping showed that ISCR1 located directly downstream of 3' conserved segment of classⅠintegron in 20 Acinetobacter baumannii strains. Conclusion ClassⅠintegron and ISCR1 play an important role in mechanisms of drug resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii. ClassⅠintegron and ISCR1 could connect in series in Acinetobacter baumannii.

Objective To investigate the frequency distribution of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 (PCSK9) gene I474V polymorphisms and their relationship with patients with ischemic stroke (IS)of Uygur and Han ethnic groups in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.Methods The I474V polymorphism was identified by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCRRFLP) in 407 patients with IS(including 219 Hans and 188 Uygurs)and 425 health controls (including 255 Hans and 170 Uygurs),and some specimens were sequenced.Results (1) Between IS group and control group,the genotypes Ⅱ and Ⅳ had no statistically significant differences in the levels of triglycerides (TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ; Total cholesterol (TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels had statistically significant differences; LDL-C levels had also statistically significant differences.Between IS and control groups,TC,LDL,HDL-C levels of genotype Ⅱ showed statistically significant difference.In the IS group,TC,LDL-C levels of Ⅳ genotype were significantly higher than the control group,the difference being statistically significant.(2) There was statistically significant difference in the genotype distribution between IS and control groups (9.5% (77/814) vs 4.5% (38/850),x2 =16.09,P =0.000).And the distribution of allele frequency was statistically different (18.9% (77/407) vs 8.9% (38/425),x2 =17.38,P =0.000).(3) The differences of I474V loci Ⅳ genotype frequency distribution in Xinjiang Uygurs and Hans were statistically significant (27.7% (52/188) vs 11.4% (25/219),x2 =17.40,P =0.000; 12.9% (22/170) vs 6.3% (16/255),x2 =5.57,P =0.018) ; So did the Ⅴ allele frenquency distribution (13.8% (52/376) vs 5.7% (25/438),x2 =15.58,P =0.000; 6.5% (22/340) vs 3.1% (16/510),x2 =10.44,P =0.001).(4) There was statistically significant difference in the genotype distribution and allele frenquency distribution between IS group and control group in the Xinjiang Uygurs (27.7% (52/188) vs 12.9% (22/170),x2 =11.79,P =0.001 ; 13.8% (52/376) vs 6.5% (22/340),x2 =10.44,P =0.001) ; But there was no statistically significant difference in the Hans.Conclusions Ⅱ and Ⅳ genotypes are dominant in the I474V polymorphism loci of PCSK9 gene.The genotype of PCSK9 gene I474V polymorphism is correlated with increasing serum levels of TC and LDL-C.I474V polymorphism is associated with cerebral IS course in Xinjiang region.There is statistically significant difference in the genotype I474V distribution between Uygur and Han groups.I474V polymorphism has a relationship with the occurrence of IS in Xinjiang Uygurs.Ⅳ may be a susceptible genotype and Ⅴ may be a genetic susceptible allele of the Xinjiang Uygurs.

Objective To compare the dosimetric difference of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans for the loco-regionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients using 6 MV X-ray flattening filter-free (FFF) and flattening filter (FF) modes.Methods Ten previously treated patients with loco-regionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma were retrospectively included and replanned using FFF and FF VMAT,respectively.Meeting all clinical criteria,the dose-volume histograms (DVH),dose distribution of target volume and organs at risk (OARs),target conformity index (CI),total monitor unites (MUs) and treatment time were compared across the plans.Results VMAT plans suing either FFF and FF modes can meet the clinical objectives.The maximum and mean target dose of FFF VMAT plans were significantly higher than that of FF VMAT plans (t =-0.31,-O.35,P < O.05).Yet the planning target volume (PTV) CI of FF mode was slightly better than of FFF mode (t =5.42,P <0.05).The maximum doses of lenses in FFF VMAT plans were lower than that of FF VMAT plans (t =25.87,17.45,P < 0.05),and other OARs displayed no significant difference.The mean total MUs of FFF and FF VMAT plans were (699 ± 16) and (628 ± 12) MUs respectively.The mean treatment time of two modes were consistent (about 2 min).Conclusions The plan qualities of FFF and FF VMAT plans were comparable and both clinically acceptable.The OARs at the edge of radiation field,such as lens,could be spared better using FFF VMAT mode.The total MUs of FFF VMAT plans were higher than FF VMAT plans,yet were delivered within the same time.

Objective:To study the distribution pattern of CIK cells re-infused by different manner.Methods:Isotope 32P-? dATP and fluorescence dye CM-DiI were used individually to label CIK cells. CIK cells labeled by the two methods in vitro were inoculated to nude mice by intraperitoneal injection or tail vein injection. Radioactivity quantitative measurement and fluorescence microscopy were used to analysis dynamic distribution of CIK cells among organs of mice.Results:The CIK cells were quickly distributed to organs such as liver, spleen, kidney, lung, stomach and intestine after inoculation into nude mice. Among those organs, the liver, spleen and kidney showed highest distribution concentration of CIK cells. Early stage after infusion, concentration of CIK cells in lung above all reached peak via tail vein, and by means of intraperitoneal injection, distribution of CIK cells in intraperitoneal organs firstly got to max. CIK cells remained alive in liver and spleen for more than 2 weeks.Conclusion:The extensive distribution pattern of CIK cells among organs shows that CIK cells can be used as drugs against various malignant tumors in organism. Infusion of CIK cells via blood vessel maybe suit for tumor of organs with rich blood supply, and application by means of body-cavity way should suit for malignant effusions and limited lesion in it.
