Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 2004;0(10):-
OBJECTIVE To establish a convenient method for detecting plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamases in Enterobacteriaceae lacking chromosomal AmpC beta-lactamases and to investigqte their genotype.METHODS Fifteen isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae were collected and the diameters of inhibitory zone of cefoxitin in combination with or without cloxacillin were measured separately by standard disc diffusion test.The M3D assay was used as control method.And the activity of AmpC beta-lactamases of all isolates was simultaneously assayed.Multiplex PCR was performed to determine the genotype of AmpC beta-lactamases.RESULTS Among 15 isolates,8 isolates were identified to have plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamases.The sensitivity and specificity of AmpC beta-lactamases phenotypic confirmatory test were 100%.Eight of 15 isolates were identified to be DHA-1 beta-lactamases by multiplex PCR.CONCLUSIONS The new AmpC beta-lactamases phenotypic confirmatory test is a reliable method for detecting plasmidmediated AmpC beta-lactamases in Enterobacteriaceae lacking chromosomal AmpC beta-lactamases.DHA-1 beta-lactamases are the main genotypes of plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamases in Hubei Province of China.

Journal of China Pharmaceutical University 2016;(1):66-72
A pepsin modified poly (glycidyl methacrylate-ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate)(poly (GMA-EDMA)) capillary monolith (32 cm ×75 μm,22cm effective lenth)was applied in exploring the interaction between nefo-pam enantiomers and bovine serum albumin (BSA),mode of frontal analysis was selected to measure the binding constant,number of binding sites and the location of binding sites of BSA to both nefopam enantiomers.The opti-mal CEC conditions obtained were a running buffer consisted of 15 mmol /L ammonium acetate at pH 5.5,separa-tion voltage 5.0 kV,detection wavelength 215 nm,injection 10 kV ×6 s,solvent of samples consisted of 50 mmol/L ammonium acetate at pH 7.4.The results indicated that the monolith could provide a satisfactory resolution between the two enantiomers plateaus,BSA in the binding system didn′t disturb the separation or determination of nefopam enantiomers in electrochromatography.The frontal analysis demonstrated that BSA has only one binding site with both enantiomers,the binding constants (K)were 443 L/mol and 527 L/mol,respectively,and the dis-placement experiments indicated that binding site of both isomers to BSA molecule was the Sudlow siteⅡ.

Objective To investigate the effects of protein kinase C (PKC) on proliferation, extracelluar matrix synthesis and transcriptional factor SOX9 (SRY-related high mobility group-box gene 9) expression of rat growth plate chondrocytes in vitro. Methods Rat costochondral growth plate chondrocytes (RGC) were isolated and cultured. The 1st serum free cultured passage RGCs were treated with 1, 10 and 100 nmol/L phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu), PKC agonist, cell morphology were observed with inverted microscopy, cell proliferation, COLLAGEN and GAG synthesis were detected by isotope incorporation COLLAGEN TYPEⅡ and AGGRECAN mRNA transcription and SOX9 expression were revealed by RT-PCR and Western blot.Results 100 nmol/L PDBu treatment made the cell morphology of serum free cultured RGC closed to serum group and inhibited proliferation but promoted COLLAGEN and AGGRECAN synthesis, 3H-TdR、3H-proline and 35S-sulfate incorporation of 100nmol/L PDBu group were as 83%, 52.6% and 146.5% as those of serum free control(P

Aim To investigate effects of genistein (5, 7, 4′-trihydroxyisoflavone) on rat costochondral growth plate chondrocyte (RGC) collagen and Sox9 expression. Methods Primary cultured RGC, effects of genistein on collagen synthesis, col2a1 mRNA transcription and Sox9 protein expression of 1st passage RGC were detected by isotope incorporation, RT-PCR and western blotting. Results Genistein inhibited collagen synthesis of 1st passage RGC (P

Objective To investigate the effects of laser irradiation on intracellular ROS(reactive oxidant species),intracellular calcium concentration(_i,and cell membrane integrity in the process of live cell imaging with confocal laser scanning microscopy. Methods The effects of a given laser irradiation on ROS,intracellular calcium concentration(_i and cell viability were revealed respectively by stained ECV-304 with H_2DCFDA,Fluo-4AM and calcein-AM/PI,and visualized and analyzed using ultra view LCI(live cell image)confocal microscopy. Results The irradiation of 488nm laser induced fluorescent intensity of DCF to increase abruptly and attain the climax in about 80 seconds,afterwards the fluorescent intensity fell and returned to the baseline.In the 70 minutes of the irradiation,the fluorescent intensity of intracellular Fluo-4 kept a slightly ascending tendency.The fluorescent intensity of calcein decreased 15minutes after the irradiation,and serval cells were PI positively stained.Conclusion 488nm laser irradiation induces intracellular reactive oxidant species(ROS) and calcium concentration to increase,but there is no significant influence on cell membrane integrity.

The effects of imperatorin (Imp) and iso-imperatorin(Isi) on tumor necrosis factor (TNF) release from mouse peritoneal macrophages were investigated. It was found that Imp and lsi significantly inhibited TNF release from mouse peritoneal macrophages. At the concentration of 10-6~10-4 mol?L-1, the inhibitory effects were presented by Imp and Isi in a dose dependent manner. At 10-4 mol/L TNF release was entirely inhibited by each drug.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of combined general and gynecological laparoscopy.Methods From March 2003 to December 2006,160 patients with abdominal and gynecological diseases were treated with laparoscopy,including laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC)+ salpingostomy in 20,LC + ovarian cystectomy in 24 cases,LC + hysteromyomectomy in 12,LC + hysteromyomectomy and uterine artery blockage in 7,LC + subtotal hysterectomy in 19,LC + total hysterectomy in 11,LC + treatment of endometriosis in 6,laparoscopic appendectomy(LA)+ salpingostomy in 16,LA + ovarian cystectomy in 22,LA + subtotal hysterectomy and total hysterectomy in 18,decortication of liver cysts + ovarian cystectomy in 4,and laparoscopic hepatectomy + adnexectomy in 1.Results Laparoscopic procedures were completed in all the 160 cases without conversion to open surgery.The operation time ranged from 40 to 220 min(mean,120 min),and postoperative hospital stay ranged from 1 to 6 days(mean,3.4 days).No patient had perioperative complications.Among the 160 cases,143 were followed up for 3 to 24 months(mean,19.5),during which 1 developed vaginal stump hemorrhage 10 days after the operation and was cured by conservative therapy,1 experienced vaginal polypi at the stump 2 months postoperation and underwent polyp resection.Conclusions Combined general and gynecological laparoscopy is a promising method for patients with abdominal diseases complicated with gynecological diseases.It is important for surgeons from different departments to deeply understand the indications of laparoscopy,prepare well before operation,and cooperate closely.
