Objective To investigate the usage of antibiotics in pediatrics patients in Changchun,and detect the bacterial drug resistance of main pathogens for direction of the appropriate clinical choice of drug antibiotics.Methods A total of 900 cases of infectious patients were retrospectively investigated in antibiotic usage in the ⅢA hospital in Changchun from January 2003 to November 2005 and the data were statistics analyzed.The bacterium were isolated from all kinds of specimen of children in hospital patients from December 2004 to November 2005,according to the method of "Clinical Medicine Test Handbook".All bacterial isolated from bacterial susceptibility tes-(ting) was done with Kirby-Bauey method.Tests were performed according to the guidelines of National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards(NCCLS)(2004).Results Antibiotics were administered in all of the cases.Four categories and 11 kinds of antibiotics were used.Usage of the first six antibiotics were as followed: ceftezole(22.3%),cefoperazone-sulbactam(21.6%),amoxicillin clavulanic acid((19.6%),)penicilin(17.2%),azithromycin(16.40%),oxacillin(10.1%).The rate of antibiotic use was 60.6% for solo use,70.7% for bigeminy use,81.7% for intravenously guttae,18.3% for peroral administration.Eight hundred and eighteen strains of pathogens were isolated.Gram-positive coccus,gram-negative accounted for 48.0% and 52.0%,respectively.All bacterium isolated showed a high resistance against penicillins and cephalosporins.Drug resistance rate of Gram-positive bacteria to penicillin was more than 50.0%,CNS,S.aureus,E.faecalis and S.pneumonic to erythromycin and cphalosporins was over 71.4% and 35.7%.The antibiotic remaining the most active against Gram-positive bacteria was vancomycin.The drug resistance rate against imipenem and ciprofloxacin were lower than(25.0%.)The antibiotic resistance rate of Gram-negative bacteria to ampicillin,cephalosporins and aztreonam were more than 83.0%,(40.0%) and 32.0%,to piperacillin and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid were morn than 68.9%,except P.aeruginosa(33.3%).The susceptibility of Gram-negative bacteria was imipenem(

Objective To observe the effects of recombinant human erythropoietin(rh-EPO) on immune function of cyclophosphamide-treated mice.Methods Six-week-old mice were randomly divided into 4 groups.Cyclophosphamide plus normal saline group(CTX(+NS));cyclophosphamide plus lower and higher dosage rh-EPO group(CTX+LDrh-EPO and CTX+HD rh-EPO);normal saline control group(NS).The changes of Hb,WBC,red blood cell immune function((C_3b)-R%),T lymphocyte proliferative responsiveness optical density index A(A score),IL-2,TNF-? of 4 groups were observed.Results The CTX + NS group showed lower levels on Hb,WBC,C_(3b)-R%,A score,IL-2 and TNF-? compared with NS normal control group(P0.05).There were positive correlation between C_(3b)-R% and Ascore,C_(3b)-R% and IL-2.Conclusions 1.Cyclophosphamide treated mice have lower Hb,WBC,C_(3b)-R%,A,IL-2 and TNF-? secretion.2.rh-EPO administration have improvements with Hb,RBC immune function,T lymphocyte proliferative responsiveness and IL2 production.

Objective: To observe the effect of gefitinib alone or in combination with AG1024 (a tyrosine kinase inhibitor of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor) on drug resistance of human non-small cell lung cancer cell line PC9/G with acquired-resistance to gefitinib, and to discuss its possible mechanism. Methods: PC9/G cells were treated with AG1024 or gefitinib alone or in combination, the proliferative activity of PC9/G cells was detected by MTT method, and the efficacy of combination therapy was assessed by median-effects principle. Apoptosis rate of PC9/G cells was examined by flow cytometry. The expression levels of phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor (p-EGFR), phosphorylated-Akt (p-Akt) and the phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK) in PC9/G cells were detected by Western blotting. Results: PC9/G cells displayed apoptotic features after treatment with AG1024 or gefitinib alone, and the cell proliferation was inhibited to different degrees. The treatment of AG1024 combined with gefitinib had a synergistic effect on the apoptosis and the cell proliferation (P<0.05) of PC9/G cells, as well as the expression levels of p-EGFR, p-Akt and p-ERK proteins were decreased. Conclusion: AG1024 in combination with gefitinib exerts a synergistic effect, which may lead to the proliferation inhibition and the apoptosis enhancement, and eventually increases the sensitivity of human non-small cell lung cancer cell line PC9/G to gefitinib.

Objective: To determine the correlation of metastasis suppressor 1 (MTSS 1) gene with the prognosis of gastric cancer by detecting the expression level of MTSS 1 in gastric cancer, and to explore its underlying molecular mechanism in the development and progression of gastric cancers. Methods: The expression levels of MTSS1 in the primary lesion, adjacent normal mucosa tissue, lymph node metastasis and other metastatic lesions from patients with gastric cancer were detected by using immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR, and the correlation of MTSS 1 expression with the clinicopathological factors was evaluated. The loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of four microsatellite loci (D8S1832, D8S2132, D8S1179 and D8S1461) in MTSS 1 gene in thirteen patients with negative-expression of MTSS1 was detected by using PCR-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis-silver staining method. Results: The positive expression rates of MTSS 1 were 33.9% (42/124) in the primary lesions and 16.3% (8/49) in the lymph node metastasis and other metastatic lesions. Loss expression of MTSS 1 was significantly associated with the advanced T stage, lymph node metastasis, advanced disease stage, and the poor histological differentiation. Loss or down-regulation of MTSS 1 expression was significantly correlated with the poor survival rate in both univariate and multivariate analysis. A higher frequency of allelic loss was observed in the primary (46.2%) or metastatic (69.2%) gastic cancer lesion with negative expression of MTSS 1. Conclusion: The loss and decreased expression of MTSS 1 may play an important role in the development and progression of gastric cancers, and MTSS 1 gene may become a potential predictor for clinical outcome of patients with gastric cancer.
