Abstract: Objective　To analyze the drug sensitivity and the carrying of carbapenem resistant gene of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from clinical patients and clinical objects, and analyze the homology of strains to provide support for the control of nosocomial infection. Methods　A total of 38 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from patients and clinical objects surface were collected from January 2019 to August 2020. The antimicrobial susceptibility was tested by the minimum inhibitory concentration method. In addition, the resistance related genes were detected by polymerase chain reaction method, and homology analysis was performed by enterobacterial repetitive Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus Polymerase Chain Reaction (ERIC-PCR). Results All 34 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from Clinical patients and 4 strains isolated from clinical objects carried blaOXA-51 and imp resistance genes, neither of them carried blaVIM gene. 32 Acinetobacter baumannii carrying blaOXA-23 gene, 28 strains carrying blaTEM gene, 7 strains carrying blaOXA-58 gene. After cluster analysis, 38 Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were classified into 7 genotypes (expressed A, B, C, D, E, F, G), and cluster E and cluster G were the main clusters, containing 12 strains (12/38, 31.6%) and 18 strains (18/38, 47.4%), respectively, as the main prevalent clonal strains. Conclusions　Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from different sources have the significant differences in drug resistance and carry different resistance genes. There is no direct correlation between patients and environmental isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii belonging to different clonal strains. Also, there aren’t significant correlation between clinical patients infected with Acinetobacter baumannii.

Objective To observe the effect of dihydromyricetin of ampelopsis grossedentata on lipid metabolism and antioxidation in atherosclerosis (AS) rats. Methods Sixty Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups (n = 12 each):normal control group, model control group, positive control group, high dose dihydromyricetin group (40 mg·kg-1 ) and low dose dihydromyricetin group (10 mg·kg-1 ). Except normal control group, rats in the other groups were injected with a single dose of vitamin D3(600 000 U·kg-1 ) and loaded with high fat diet to establish AS model. Simvastatin (5 mg·kg-1 ) was intragastrically administered to positive control group. High and low dose dihydromyricetin groups received intragastric administration of 40 and 10 mg·kg-1 dihydromyricetin, respectively. Equal volume of purified water was given to normal and model group. After 24 weeks of administration, serum levels of lipids, activities of superoxide-dismutase (SOD) and malonicdialdehyde (MAD) were determined. Results As compared with model control group, triglycerides (TG) of high and low dose dihydromyricetin groups was decreased [(191. 65±101. 10) vs. (111. 10±29. 29) and (120. 55±38. 12) mg·L-1 , respectively], total cholesterol (TC) was decreased [(151. 64±33. 62) vs. (148. 49±30. 14) and (118. 90±27. 38) mg·L-1 ], and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was increased [(1. 29±0. 68) vs. (2. 10±0. 70) and (1. 62±0. 61) mmol·L-1 ], low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was decreased [(5. 01±1. 33) vs. (3. 97±0. 78) and (4. 28±0. 79) mmol·L-1 ], activity of SOD was increased [(141. 03±42. 52) vs. (187. 97±42. 08) and (150. 99±46. 17) U·mL-1 ], and MDA was decreased [(20. 51±3. 81) vs. (17. 64±1. 54) and (18. 52± 3. 42) nmol·mL-1 ], with significant differences (P<0. 05, P<0. 01).

Aim To establish a rapid method to efficiently iso-late mononuclear cells from central nervous system ( CNS) tis-sues of mice that can be effectively utilized for identification of various immune cell populations in a single sample by flow cy-tometry. Methods For defining the feasibility and practicality of the method, wild-type C57BL/6 mice and two mouse models of CNS disease including EAE mice and APP/PS1 mice were used in this study. After the collection and homogenization of the brain and spinal cord tissues respectively, the mononuclear cells were isolated by spinning the 70% -30% Percoll gradients. Cell activities were detected by trypan blue staining, and the im-mune population that infiltrated CNS was identified by flow cy-tometry. Results The results of trypan blue staining showed that the survival rate of the isolated cells was above 90% in all groups. Flow cytometry analysis showed that the relative num- bers of lymphocytes infiltrating CNS of EAE and AD mice in-creased significantly compared with wild-type C57BL/6 mice. In addition, the relative numbers of Th1 and Th17 cell subsets me-diating the inflammatory response also increased significantly, while the decreased regulatory T cells frequency was observed in the two mouse models of CNS disease. Conclusions The cells isolated by the 70% ~30% Percoll gradients centrifugation can be effectively utilized for the identification of various immune cell populations in a single sample by flow cytometry. The meth-od described in this article is simple and rapid in operation and with high survival rate and activity of the cells, which can be ap-plied to the study of the mononuclear cells in CNS.
