OBJECTIVE To investigate the antibiotical resistance and to understand the phenotype and genotype of metallo-?-lactamase in Chryseobacterium indologenes.METHODS The MIC to 25 C.!indologenes strains was detected by agar dilution method.Phenotype of metallo-?-lactamase was detected by three-disc synergy test and modified three dimension test.Polymerase chain reaction(PCR)amplification for both metallo?-lactamase and integrase gene was conducted for all isolates.Complete coding gene of metallo-?-lactamase and their DNA sequence analysis was conducted.Conjugation experiment was used to study the transmission of metallo-?-lactamase encoding gene.pIs Of ?-lactamase was measured by isoelectric focusing assay.RESULTS The antibiotical resistance of C.indologenes to imipenem and meropenem was 88.0%,respectively.However,gatifloxacin,levofloxacin and rifampin had better antimicrobiotial ability to C.indologenes compared with other antibiotics in MIC Nineteen strains were identified to produce metallo-?-lactamase using three-disc synergy test and modified three dimension test.Twenty strains were detected to have metallo-?-lactamase genotype by PCR amplification using IND-like common prime sets and four prime sets of complete coding gene.Among them,9 strains were detected to have blaIND-1 genotype and 10 strains to have blaIND-2 genotype,strain CI-25 was identified to have blaIND-like genotype.The mutation of base sequences and amino acid sequences in 5 strains were found simultaneously.Conjugation experiment showed that metallo-?-lactamase encoding gene couldn′t transfer.Nineteen strains had 1 or 2 bands on isoelectric focusing electrophoresis.Strain CI-5 was proved to have blaIND-1,but phenotype of metallo-?-lactamase was negative.CONCLUSIONS C.indologenes has high rate of metallo-?-lactamase producing,and thus it is difficult to treat.The major genotype of metallo-?-lactamase for C.indologenes is blaIND-1 and blaIND-2 in Hefei.The expression of blaIND could exist negative or low level occasionally.

Objective To investigate the impact and the associated parameters of malnutrition and inflammation status on hospitalization and mortality of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Method A total of 118 MHD patients were included in the study with 1 year's follow-up.The malnutrition and inflammation parameters were compared between the hospitalized patients and out-patients.Cox's proportional hazard regression model was used to explore the malnutrition and inflammation parameters which could forecast the risk of hospitalization and mortality. Result The hospitalization rate of MHD patients with mild,moderate and severe malnuttition was 32.93%,56.67% and 83.33% respectively,and the mortality was 3.66%,6.67% and 80.00% respectively.The hospitalization rate of MHD patients with or without microinflammation status was 56.45% and 46.43%,and the mortality was 14.29% and 1.61%.Inpatients had a higher malnutrition-inflammation score(MIS,8.36 vs 5.86,P<0.05) and subjective global assessment of nutrition (MQSGA,14.49 vs 12.88,P<0.05),a lower creatinine level (886.83 μmol/L vs 991.76 μmol/L,P<0.05 ) and a lower albumin level (38.57 g/L vs 40.27 g/L,P<0.05) than out-patients.Inpatients also had a higher level of TNF-α (65.41 μg/L vs 59.76 μg/L,P<0.05) than out-patients.Cox proportional hazard model analysis showed that MIS and TNF-α were associated with patient's first hospitalization risk. Conclusions For the MHD patients,the more severe the malnutrition and micro-inflammation status is,the worse the clinical outcome is.The higher levels of MIS and TNF-α result in greater risk of hospitalization.

Chinese Journal of Modern Nursing 2016;22(22):3143-3146
Objective To investigate the status of job embeddedness and organizational citizenship behavior in nurses, and explore the effect of job embeddedness on organizational citizenship behavior. Methods A total of 540 nurses in level three hospital were recruited and interviewed by the job embeddedness inventory and organizational citizenship behavior scale. Results The average total scores of job embeddedness and organizational citizenship behavior in nurses were respectively (3.27±0.72) and (5.33±0.64). The scores of organization matching, organization connection, organization sacrifice were significantly positively related to the score of each dimensions of organizational citizenship behavior (r=0.311-0.465,P<0.05). Hierarchical regression analysis shew that the organization matching, organization connection, organization sacrifice of job embeddedness could explained 27. 8% of the total variance of organizational citizenship behavior in nurses. Conclusions The job embeddedness and organizational citizenship behavior in nurses are in the medium level, and the job embeddedness is a influencing factor of organizational citizenship behavior, so the nurse managers can improve the level of organizational citizenship behavior by improving their job embeddedness.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of retinal injury in rats caused by light-emitting diodes(LEDs)with different color rendering indexes(CRIs).Methods Totally 20 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into nor-mal control(NC)group(sunlight),low CRI(CRI-L)group(blue light),medium CRI(CRI-M)group(conventional LED),and high CRI(CRI-H)group(full-spectrum LED),with 5 rats in each group,exposed to light for 12 hours daily for 4 consecutive weeks.Hematoxylin & eosin staining was used to assess morphological changes in the retina.Dihydroethidi-um staining was employed to detect the levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS)in retinal tissues.The messenger ribonu-cleic acid(mRNA)expressions of NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing protein 3(NLRP3),Gasdermin D(GSDMD)and Caspase-1 were analyzed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR),and their protein expressions were measured through immunohistochemical staining.Environmental light spectra were measured using a spectroradiometer.Results Rats in the CRI-L group showed the thinnest retina,followed by the CRI-M group and CRI-H group.The fluorescence intensity of ROS in the NC group,CRI-L group,CRI-M group and CRI-H group was 1.000±0.046,25.060±1.732,14.530±3.776 and 1.821±0.587,respectively.The ROS level in the CRI-H group was significantly lower than that in the CRI-L group and CRI-M group(both P<0.05).RT-qPCR showed that the relative mRNA expression of NL-RP3 in the NC group,CRI-L group,CRI-M group and CRI-H group was 1.004±0.005,4.004±0.716,2.027±0.303 and 0.741±0.069,respectively;the relative mRNA expression of Caspase-1 was 1.010±0.006,4.337±0.345,2.268±0.058 and 0.713±0.021,respectively;the relative mRNA expression of GSDMD was 1.000±0.000,2.938±0.559,1.955±0.166 and 1.213±0.051,respectively.Compared with the NC group,the relative expressions of NLRP3,Caspase-1 and GSDMD in the CRI-L group and CRI-M group significantly increased(all P<0.05).The immunohistochemical staining results showed that the fluorescence intensity of NLRP3 in the retina of rats in the NC group,CRI-L group,CRI-M group and CRI-H group was 0.379 4±0.002 2,0.400 7±0.011 4,0.379 0±0.006 9 and 0.377 0±0.007 5,respectively;the fluorescence intensity of Caspase-1 was 0.367 2±0.005 8,0.442 6±0.041 1,0.382 4±0.011 9 and 0.380 6±0.006 5,respectively;the fluorescence intensity of GSDMD was 0.159 5±0.013 4,0.167 5±0.011 9,0.397 6±0.014 3 and 0.377 2±0.022 8,respec-tively.Compared with the NC group,rats in the CRI-L group showed increased fluorescence intensity of NLRP3 and Caspase-1,and rats in the CRI-M and CRI-H showed increased fluorescence intensity of GSDMD(all P<0.05).The spec-tral comparison revealed that the CRI-H group had a broader spectral coverage and a distribution closer to natural light spectra.Conclusion Conventional LED exposure can induce a decrease in retinal thickness,upregulate the ROS expres-sion in retinal tissues,and increase the expression levels of NLRP3,Caspase-1 and GSDMD.High CRI full-spectrum LEDs can mitigate pyroptosis through the ROS/NLRP3 pathway by optimizing their spectral distribution,offering better biosafety.
