Objective To investigate the class I integrons and their gene cassettes of imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (IRPA) , and to analyze the correlation between integrons and drug resistance. Methods PCR was used to determine the presence of integrase genes and class I integrons. The variable regions were detected by sequencing. Resistance genes of integron gene cassettes including metal-β-lactamases, aminoglycoside modifying enzymes (AMEs), 16SrRNA methylating enzyme and the OprD2 genes were detected by PCR. The VITEK-2 automated system was used to determine the antibiotic susceptibility of integron-positive IRPA strains. Results The positive rates of integrase genes and class I integrons were 23.3%(20/86)and 8.14%(7/86) , and five kinds of gene cassettes were detected in 86 IRPA strains. The class I integrons-positive bacterial strains exhibited different resistant patterns to 12 antibiotics with large number of resistance genes. Conclusion The class I integrons and their gene cassettes are associated with multiple drug resistance of IRPA.

Objective To evaluate the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in assessing radiosensitivity enhancement by irisquinone (IR) on rabbit xenografted VX2 lung tumor models.Methods Twenty-four tumor-beating rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups (8 rabbits/group):group A with radiotherapy alone,group B with combined radiotherapy and IR,and group C without radiotherapy (the control group).18F-FDG PET/CT imaging was performed before radiotherapy and 24 h and one week after radiotherapy.The tumor SUVmax on delayed imaging was calculated in all rabbits.Two rabbits in each group were sacrificed after PET/CT imaging.HE staining was used to assess the differences in cancer cells among groups.Paired t test,one-way analysis of variance and Kaplan-Meier analysis were performed to analyze the data using SPSS 13.0.Results Before radiotherapy,the tumor SUVmax of all the 24 rabbits on standard and delayed imaging were 2.200 ± 0.761 and 3.162 ± 0.833 (t =-5.582,P ＜ 0.01).At 24 h post-radiotherapy,the delayed SUVmax of groups A,B and C were 2.614 ± 0.654,2.349 ± 0.869 and 5.663 ± 1.144,respectively.The differences between pre-radiotherapy and 24 h post-radiotherapy were statistically significant in all three groups (t =2.527,3.620,11.011,all P ＜0.05).One week after radiotherapy,the delayed SUVmax of groups A,B and C were 3.625 ± 1.064,3.058 ±0.850 and 7.424 ± 1.751,respectively.The differences among groups A,B and C were statistically significant (tA∶ B =2.652,tA∶C =3.799,tB∶C =4.366,all P ＜0.05).The cancer cells of group B were fewer than those of groups A and C by pathological findings,which was consistent with 18F-FDG PET/CT results.The survival times of groups A,B and C were (62.375 ±4.534),(69.000 ±4.660) and (54.125 ±5.276) d,respectively.Kaplan-Meier survival curves revealed better survival of group B as compared to groups A and C,respectively (Log-rank,x2 =7.355,16.943,both P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion 18 F-FDG PET/CT is able to evaluate the effect of irisquinone on tumor radiosensitivity enhancement.

Objective:To revise the Chinese version of Devereux Early Childhood Assessment for Preschool-ers,Second Edition (DECA-P2 ),and assess its validity and reliability.Methods:Totally 608 children aged 3 -5 years were rated by their teachers with the Chinese version of DECA-P2 and two criterion scales,which included the Chinese version of Preschool Behavioral and Emotional Rating Scale,and Social Competence and Behavior Evalua-tion Scale-30.Data of 570 were valid.After identifying valid items using item analysis,exploratory factor analysis was performed for half of all samples.Confirmatory factor analysis was also conducted with another half samples.Moreover,the present study tested criterion-related validity,internal consistency reliability and split-half re-liability of the Chinese version of DECA-P2.Results:Through the exploratory factor analysis,the obtained structure of protective factors was the same as the original scale,accounting for 59.82%of the variance.The results of con-firmatory factor analysis achieved the standard of psychometrics (χ2/df=2.50,RMESA=0.07,CFI=0.91,IFI=0.91).Generally,each subscale had significant correlation with the two criterion scales (r=-0.21 ~0.80). Be-sides,the Cronbach αcoefficients of all subscales were between 0.80 and 0.93,and the split-half reliabilities of them were between 0.79 and 0.89.Conclusion:The Chinese version of DECA-P2 has acceptable psychometric quality and can be applied to evaluate resilience for children aged from 3 to 5 years in China.

Objective To explore the value of percutaneous injection of hemostatic agents under the guidance of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)for grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ hepatic trauma patients.Methods Eleven patients with severe hepatic trauma were treated using percutaneous focal injection of hemostatic agents.Five of these patients were hepatic injury of grade Ⅲ,and others were grade Ⅳ according to AAST.Results Out of all patients with severe hepatic trauma,9 patients were cured by once percutaneous injection of hemostatic agents under the guidance of CEUS,and 1 patient was cured by twice injection,and 1 patient was switched to surgery because of complicated pancreatic injury and the increase of free intraperitoneal fluid.Conclusions CEUS can display the site and severity of liver injury.Combining with interventional technology,injection of hemostatic agents under the guidance of CEUS can save life and avoid to resect organ,and it can win time for treating other compound injury.

Objective To explore the association between HLA-A*31, B*40, B*58 and DRB1*16 allele polymorphisms and onset of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Zunyi Han population. Methods Using group study, HLA-A*31, B*40, B*58 and DRB1*16 genotyping was conducted in 100 HFRS cases and 100 controls among Han population in Zunyi area with polymerase chain reactionsequence specific primer(PCR-SSP), gene frequency (GF) and relative risk (RR) were calculated and compared. Results The results showed that the frequencies of A*3101, B*5801 and DRB1*1602 were increased in patients as compared to the healthy controls ( RR = 13. 825, x2 = 4. 296, P = 0. 038; RR =2.614,x2 =6. 133,P=0.013;RR =8.523,x2 =8. 865,P=0. 003). The frequency of B*4001 in patients with HFRS were significantly lower than that in the healthy controls( RR =0.414,x2 =6.640,P =0. 010).Conclusion These results suggest that HLA-A*3101, B*5801 and DRB1*1602 haplotypes were strongly associated with susceptibility to HFRS disease in Zunyi Han population and allele HLA-B*4001 might be associated with protection against hantaviruses infection.

Objective To investigate the role of myeloid dendritic cells(mDC)in the pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS),and to study the mechanism of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α blocker on the treatment of AS by counting the number of mDC before and after the treatment.Methods Peripheral blood from 21 AS patients treated with 50 mg rhTNFR-Fc and 15 AS patients treated with placebo were investigated at week 0,week 2 and week 6 in a randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled trial.Three-color flow cytometry analysis was used to investigate the change of the number of mDC before and after the treatment.And their correlation with the clinical parameters was analyzed.Results MHC Class Ⅰ positive mDC(Lin-/CD11c+/HLA-abc+)in AS patients was slightly less than in healthy controls (not statistically significant).No significant change in MHC Class Ⅰ mDC number was observed after drug treatment.The number of MHC Class Ⅱ mDC cells was not correlated with clinical parameters.Conclusion The treatment with rhTNFR-Fc in AS induces a significant upregnlation of MHC-Ⅱ DC.

Objective To evaluate percutaneous injection of hemostatic agents under the guidance of contrast-enhanced sonography(CEUS) in controlling hemorrhage from severe splenic trauma. Methods Eight patients with splenic traumas of grade Ⅲ, Ⅳ were consecutively enrolled in this study. Percutaneous injection of hemocoagulase atrox and α-cyanoacrylate was performed by CEUS-guidance in all patients. Ultrasound examination was performed at 1,3,7 and 14 days after focal injection. Vital signs and hemoglobin (Hb) level were recorded. Results After the injection,immediate CEUS demonstrated that active bleeding from the injury sites disappeared. From 30 minutes after the injection arterial blood pressure began to ascend ( P <0. 05), and heart rate decreased to the normal level after the treatment ( P <0.05). Hb decreased at first and then gradually increased to the normal level. Conclusions Pereutaneous injection of hemoeoagulase atrox and α-cyanoacrylate under the guidance of CEUS can effectively control bleeding from a severe splenic trauma. CEUS can be helpful to the diagnosis of the suspected splenic trauma and to ensure hemostatic materials to be injected exactly into injury sites.

Objective To determine whether hemostatic agents directly injected into injury sites under the guidance of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)can effectively control hemorrhage from hepatic or splenic trauma. Methods Healthy adult dogs were impacted by a impactor to create hepatic or splenic trauma. Among 32 dogs,28 had hepatic or splenic injury of grade Ⅲ～Ⅳ according to Injury Scale of the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma(AAST),which were divided into two groups,the treatment group and the control. In the treatment group,hemocoagulase and α-cyanoacrylate were injected respectively into the injury site and transected micro-vessel tinder the guidance of CEUS,while in the control group,normal saline was injected. Results All animals of the two groups survived after the injection. CEUS demonstrated that active hemorrhage disappeared in treatment group but still existed in the control group.In the treatment group,laparotomy showed that hepatic or splenic injury had been covered and adhered with clot and glue membrane of hemostatic agents and free intraperitoneal blood volume was significantly less than that in the control group(P=0.000),while in the control group injury bleeding did not stop after injection. Conclusions Hemostatic agents injected under the guidance of CEUS can effectively control hemorrhage from hepatic or splenic trauma of grade Ⅲ～Ⅳ. This therapy was simple,convenient and effective. It may be performed immediately after hepatic or splenic injury was diagnosed.

Objective To study the impact of HIV and hepatitis C virus ( HCV ) infection on peripheral expression of antiviral protein A3G and plasma IFN-αlevels.Methods Untreated patients with chronic hepatitis C(HCV infection group, n=43), AIDS(HIV infection group, CD4 +T<200 cells/μL, n=45) and HIV/HCV co-infection (CD4 +T<200 cells/μL, n=45) were recruited in the study, and 23 healthy subjects were also enrolled as controls.A3G mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was measured by quantificational real-time PCR, and plasma IFN-αlevel was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Rank-sum test and Spearman rank correlation analysis were performed. Results A3G mRNA levels in HIV infected group, HIV/HCV co-infected group, HCV infected group and healthy control group were 4.89 (0.59), 4.85 (0.71), 3.89 (1.08) and 3.69 (0.81) lg copies/mL, respectively.A3G mRNA levels in HIV infected group and HIV/HCV co-infected group were much higher than those in healthy control group (Z=-6.306 and -6.280, P<0.01) and HCV infected group (Z=-7.358 and -7.275, P<0.01).Plasma IFN-αlevels in HIV infected group, HIV/HCV co-infected group, HCV infected group and healthy control group were 2.79 (1.25), 2.05 (1.29), 2.32 (1.84) and 2.16 (2.19) pg/mL, respectively.Plasma level of IFN-αin HIV infected group was higher than that in the HIV/HCV co-infected group (Z=-2.332, P<0.05), but no significant difference was observed among other groups (all P>0.05).There was no significant correlation between plasma IFN-αlevel and A3G mRNA expression (rs =0.04, P>0.05), and the levels of A3G mRNA and IFN-αshowed no correlation with HIV RNA and HCV RNA (all P>0.05).Conclusions A3G is highly expressed in PBMCs from HIV infected patients, and it may not be affected by the infection of HCV.A3G mRNA is not closely correlated with IFN-α, and it has not significant influence on HIV RNA and HCV RNA replication.
