OBJECTIVE To explore the infection rate with identifying test of vancomycin-resistant enterococci(VRE) from clinical samples,that is 3.7 percent and to genotype VRE. METHODS vanA,vanB and vanC were detected by PCR in six isolates of VRE which were identified by the broth microdilution susceptibility test and Etest.The one of vanB was further analyzed with DNA sequence and ermB,qacE△1-sul1 gentypes were detected. RESULTS Seventeen isolates of enterococci(MIC≥4 ?g/ml) were obtained of 160 isolates of enterococci which came from Jiangxi Children′s Hospital by microdilution methods.while 6 isolates were gotten by Etest.It demonstrated that susceptibilities of VRE were different in four in vitro susceptibility testing methods.VRE showed resistance to erythromycin(10/17),disinfectant/sulfanilamide(0/17). CONCLUSIONS VRE screening test and the determination of MIC are reliable in finding VRE.VRE genotype is valuable on further research and epidemiological survey of our province.

Objective To establish the theoretical basis of the probiotic application among very low birth weight(VLBW) infants,the efficacy of probiotics on the gut microbiota of VLBW infants on the 14th postnatal day was studied.Method The VLBW infants admitted to BaoAn Maternal and Child Care Hospital from January 2015 to December 2015 were randomly assigned into probiotics group and placebo group.From the first feeding to corrected gestational age of 36 weeks,probiotics group was treated with a combination of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus while placebo group with placebo.Fecal samples were collected on the 1st and 14th postnatal day.Total bacterial DNA was extracted and sequenced using high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing on MiSeq sequencing platform.Result A total of 21 VLBW infants were enrolled,9 in probiotics group and other 12 placebo group.No significant differences of clinical data existed between the two group (P > 0.05),The abundance and diversity of microflora (P > 0.05) on the first day between the two group were similar.Compared with placebo group,the relative abundance of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillales in stool samples on the 14th day was significantly increased,while the Halomonas was significantly decreased.The relative abundance of the Shannon-index was increased,but without significant difference (P =0.16).Conclusion Enteral supplementation of probiotics in VLBW infants may increase probiotic bacterium and microflora diversity.

Objective To investigate the effect of methylguanidine and 1-methylhydantoin on cells cytotoxicity, apoptosis in human renal tubular epithelial cell line (HK-2). Methods Human PTEC cell line HK-2 was used in this study. HK-2 was cultured and divided into 3 groups: Norma1 control group (A), methylguanidine group(B) and 1-methylhydantoin group (C). The cell inhibitory rate of HK-2 was detected by MTT method. The cytotoxicity of methylguanidine to HK-2 was determined by NAG release test. Cell apoptosis was evaluated by using Hoechst stain and FACS with Annexin-V/PI. Results The OD value and NAG concentration of creatinine, methylguanidine and 1-methylhydantoin group were compared with normal control group. OD value decreased and NAG concentration significantly increased(0.188±0.011, 0.176±0.010 vs 0.545±0.021, F=1557.74, P<0.01; 20.488±0.473, 22.225±0.565 vs 5.125±0.198, F=3848.22, P<0.01). By Hoechst stain, pycnosis and apoptotic body could be found when HK-2 was cultivated in methylguanidine 1-methylhydantoin group. In methylguanidine, 1-methylhydantoin group apoptotic HK-2 apparently increased, compared with that in control group (18.23±1.1581, 20.22±1.1433 vs 2.473±0.321, F=526.06, P<0.01). Compared with group B, the OD value in group C decreased significantly (0.176±0.010 vs 0.188±0.011,t=2.26, P<0.05), NAG concentration increased significantly (22.225±0.565 vs 20.488±0.473,t=-6.67, P<0.01), and apoptotic rate in-creased significantly (20.22±1.1433 vs 18.23±1.1581,t=-2.762, P<0.05). Conclusions 1-methylhydantoin has more powerful cytotoxic effect to renal tubular epithelial cells than that of Methylguanidine.

Objective To systematically assess the relation between angiotensin-I converting enzyme(ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) variation and type 2 diabetic nephropathy (T2DN) onset risk among Chinese population.Methods The related literatures were retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang Data until June 1st,2016.The RevMan 5.0 was used to conduct the statistical analysis.The merge OR value and corresponding 95% confidence interval(95%CI) were used to assess ACE gene I/D polymorphism and T2DN onset risk.Results Totally 29 papers with 4 357 subjects were included according to the inclusion and exclusion standard,including 2 208 cases of DN and 2 149 cases of T2DM without DN.Meta analysis showed that compared with ACE gene I/D polymorphism I allele,D allele could significantly increase the risk of T2DM patients suffering from DN,the OR value and corresponding 95%CI were 1.44(1.25,1.66);the gene analysis showed that ACE gene I/D polymorphism loci were significantly correlated with DN onset risk in the Asian population.The corresponding relative onset risk OR and 95%CI were 1.42(1.15,1.76) and 1.75(1.46,2.10) in the dominant and recessive genetic model.The Begg′s test showed that the included data had no obvious publication bias existence.Conclusion ACE gene I/D polymorphism is closely correlated with the onset risk of T2DN,and D allele might be a risk genetic factor for DN occurrence in the patients with T2DM.

OBJECTIVETo find out the optimal condition for the germination and cultivation condition on Magnolia officinalis, and offer the basis for standardized culture of M. officinalis.
METHODThe study was carried out with in-door experiment, using light, temperature, soil water content and seed soaking in different water temperature treatments, the effects of different treatments on seed germination percentage of M. officinalis were investigated.
RESULT AND CONCLUSIONThe germination percentage between light and dark treatments was significantly difference, it is indicated that the seed is light-sensitive. M. officinalis can germinate in a wide range of temperature, from 20 degrees C to 35 degrees C, and the suitable temperature was 25-30 degrees C, at which germination percentages were 59.2% and 54.6%. Germination percentage at 20/30 degrees C was 65%. The optimum soil water content was 25% for seed germination, at which germination percentages were 66.7%. The suitable soil water content was 20%-25%. In order to find out optimal temperature for soaking, seeds were soaked in water at the temperatures of 40, 60, 80, 90 degrees C for 10 minutes. The optimum water temperature was 60 degrees C for seed germination, and hard coated seed percentage was reduced. Seed germination rate can be inhibited under too high water temperature. Seed germination percentage was significantly difference in different germinating bed.

Objective To investigate the mechanisms of miRNA-15a and miRNA-16 in the process of reversing cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer.Methods Human ovarian cancer cisplatin-resistant cell lines CoC1/DDP were transfected with miRNA-15a and miRNA-16 mimics and treated with cisplatin.qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels of miRNA-15a and miRNA-16 in normal CoC1/DDP cell group,cisplatin treated group,negative control group,miRNA-15a transfected group,miRNA-16 transfected group and overexpressed Bmi-1 plasmid.Western blot was used to detect the expression level of Bmi-1 in each group,CCK-8 and Annexin V/PI were used to detect cell survival and apoptosis,and γ-H2AX immunofluorescence was used to detect cell apoptosis.Results The CoC1/DDP ovarian cancer cell line shows low expression of miRNA-15a and miRNA-16,and high expression of Bmi-1 protein,which makes it resistant to cisplatin.When the levels of miRNA-15a and miRNA-16 are overexpressed,the Bmi-1 protein decreases(P<0.05),leading to a decrease in cell survival rate(P<0.05),a significant increase in DNA apoptosis(P<0.05),and more severe DNA damage(P<0.05).Overexpression of Bmi-1 plasmid can increase cell viability(P<0.05)and reduce the rate of cell apoptosis(P<0.05).Conclusion The Bmi-1 protein may be a target for the regulation of miRNA-15a and miRNA-16,and overexpression of miRNA-15a and miRNA-16 can increase the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to cisplatin by reducing the Bmi-1 protein.This provides a new idea for predicting molecular markers of cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer and overcoming drug resistance targets in ovarian cancer.
