Objective To establish a real-time quantitative PCR ( qPCR) method for detection of Streptobacillus moniliformis, which can be used to rapidly detect this pathogen in laboratory animals .Method According to the S. moniliformis sequences published in NCBI , we designed specific primers and MGB probe .The specificity, sensitivity and stability of this method were evaluated using 24 standard reference strains .Total of 823 respiratory specimens of animals including mice, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, Mongolian gerbils and tree shrews , were detected by this established Taqman MGB qPCR method .Results We had successfully established the S.moniliformis Taqman MGB qPCR method . S.moniliformis was not detected in the samples of mice , rats, guinea pigs, hamsters and rabbits.The positive rate of S. moniliformis was 1.5% ( 1/65 ) and 61.7% ( 37/60 ) in conventional Mongolian Gerbils and tree shrews , respectively . Conclusions Our developed qPCR method can be used to effectively detect S.moniliformis in laboratory animals .Moreover , its accuracy and sensitivity are better than the national standard method .This study laid the foundations for optimizing the quality inspection system of laboratory animals .

Objective We established a rapid detection method of Pasteurella spp.and provided a reference for microbiological quality control of laboratory animal .Methods According to the β subunit of bacterial RNA polymerase ( rpoB) protein multiple alignments of 13 different Pasteurella spp.published in NCBI .The degenerate primers were designed by CODEHOP designer online .CODEHOP PCR method was applied to detecting Pasteurella spp.after the specificity and sensitivity of the method had been evaluated by 21 reference strains .Results Standard strain amplified fragment were about 200 bp by degenerate primers PastF6/PastR5.The primers are able to distinguish between Pasteurella spp.and the other pathognic organisms of laboratory animal respiratory tracts .Sensitivity of this method were 0.2 pg/μL~2 pg/μL to different Pasteurella.The Pasteurella positive rate was 19.1% in 609 animal ' s respiratory samples .The accuracy of positive results was 100%through verifying by sequenced and blast .Conclusions The established method has good specificity and sensitivity .It can be used to detect Pasteurella spp.in animal samples .

Background:
and Purpose Despite administration of evidence-based therapies, residual risk of stroke recurrence persists. This study aimed to evaluate the residual risk of recurrent stroke in acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) with adherence to guideline-based secondary stroke prevention and identify the risk factors of the residual risk.
Methods:
Patients with acute ischemic stroke or TIA within 7 hours were enrolled from 169 hospitals in Third China National Stroke Registry (CNSR-III) in China. Adherence to guideline-based secondary stroke prevention was defined as persistently receiving all of the five secondary prevention medications (antithrombotic, antidiabetic and antihypertensive agents, statin and anticoagulants) during hospitalization, at discharge, at 3, 6, and 12 months if eligible. The primary outcome was a new stroke at 12 months.
Results:
Among 9,022 included patients (median age 63.0 years and 31.7% female), 3,146 (34.9%) were identified as adherence to guideline-based secondary prevention. Of all, 864 (9.6%) patients had recurrent stroke at 12 months, and the residual risk in patients with adherence to guidelinebased secondary prevention was 8.3%. Compared with those without adherence, patients with adherence to guideline-based secondary prevention had lower rate of recurrent stroke (hazard ratio, 0.85; 95% confidence interval, 0.74 to 0.99; P=0.04) at 12 months. Female, history of stroke, interleukin-6 ≥5.63 ng/L, and relevant intracranial artery stenosis were independent risk factors of the residual risk.
Conclusions
There was still a substantial residual risk of 12-month recurrent stroke even in patients with persistent adherence to guideline-based secondary stroke prevention. Future research should focus on efforts to reduce the residual risk.

Objective:To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal fistula after radical gastrectomy .Methods:The clinical data of 15 patients ,who underwent radical gastrectomy and suffered post‐surgery gastrointestinal fistula at Depart‐ment of Gastric Cancer and Soft Tissue Sarcoma ,Shanghai Cancer Center ,Fudan University from Jan 2013 to Dec 2014 ,were retrospectively analyzed .Results:Four of the fifteen patients received reoperative procedures for peritoneal drainage .And the other 11 patients were cured after B ultrasound or CT imaging guided percutaneous catheter drainage and treatments such as fasting ,gastrointestinal decompression ,and enteral nutrition via needle catheter jejunostomy .No patient died .There was no statistically significant difference regarding length of hospital stay ,leukocytes abnormal days in peripheral blood and fever days after the diagnosis of gastrointestinal fistula between the reoperation group and the non‐reoperation group(P>0 .05) .Conclu‐sions:Early diagnosis ,as well as adequate and effective drainage is the key to cure for gastrointestinal fistula after radical gas‐trectomy .If operation indication is properly managed and nonsurgical treatment such as percutaneous catheter drainage is effec‐tive ,then reoperation can be avoided .
