The food poisoning caused by Bacillus cereus occurs in Kunming or Yunnan Province sometimes.The aim of our survey is to prevent and control this kind of food poi- soning in the future.The result shows that the positive rate is 19.20% and the degree of contamination differs in the different kinds of food,the dairy products being contaminated most seriously of all.The bacteria in the contaminated food number mostly 10~2～10~4 per gram,Though it is not very high,the presence of Bacillus cereus is so wide that we showld pay much attention to it. Abut 97.65% of Bacillus cereus can be biologically classified and the most com- mon types are 2,8 and 10.About 92.98% of Bacillus cereus can be classified according to the serological type,and type 3 is the most predominant one and type 1 the second.In the dairy products,biological types 2 and 8 make up 54.55% and serological type 1 36.36%. The bacteria isolated from the food are highly sensitive to erythromycin,chlor- amphenicol,gcntamycin,streptomycin and kanamycin.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the resistance of Staphylococcus aureus,includ MRSA and MSSA,to antimicrobial agents in intensive care unit(ICU),and to provide basis for clinical therapy.METHODS K-B disk diffusion method was used to determine the drug susceptibility of 171 strains of S.aureus,and meticillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA) was detected by using the disk diffusion method according to NCCLS/CLSI.RESULTS In ICU,S.aureus was isolated mostly from the respiratory tract,urine tract and blood.MRSA made up 57.89%.For MRSA and MSSA,no resistance against vancomycin and norvancomycin was observed.The resistance rates of MRSA to other agents were as follows: chloramphenicol 20.45%,and minocycline 20.45%.While the resistance rates of MSSA to other agents were as follows:cefazolin 6.25%,and amikacin 6.25%,minocycline 9.38%.CONCLUSIONS MRSA shows the multidrug resistance.Pathogenic monitoring,keeping the patients apart,rational utilization of antibiotics,medical facility sterilization strictly and intensive hand hygiene are very important to prevent MRSA infection.

objective To understand the clinical features of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) combined with metabolic syndrome (MS) in elderly patients, as well as the medicine used for treatment and the distribution of abnormal metabolic components. Methods Totally 349 T2DM patients admitted from 2001 to 2005 were retrospectively studied, among them 194 patients were combined with MS. The clinical data of those 194 patients were analyzed to evaluate their clinical feature, medicine used and the distribution of several abnormal metabolic components. of T2DM combined with MS. Results The proportion of MS in the elderly T2DM patients was 55.6%. Body mass index (BMI), postprandial blood glucose (PBG), blood pressure and triglyceride (TG) were higher than that in those patients of T2DM without MS, while the high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was lower (P

Objective To discuss the relationship between and value of Leptin with disorder of lipid metabolism in gestational diabetes mellitus. Method Research objects are divided into three groups including GDM group, normal glucose tolerance group (NGT group), normal non-pregnant group. Blood lipid, fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, serum leptin and placental leptin levels were detected and HOMA-IR was calculated. Result (1) Serum leptin, TC, TG, placental leptin and HOMA-IR in GDM group were higher than those of NGT group and TC, serum leptin and HOMA-IR of NGT group were higher than those of control group. There were statistical significances (P<0.05). (2)Serum leptin levels were positively correlated with BMI, HOMA-IR, TC and TG respectively (r = 0.593, 0.688, 0.722, 0.492 respectively, P < 0.05). Conclusion Leptin may cause lipid metabolism disorders, and together they participate in the pathogenesis of GDM. Maternal serum leptin level is expected to become an observation index of GDM.

Objective To establish a reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification RT-LAMP rapid detection method of enterovirus 71(EV71) in hand ,foot and mouth disease (HFMD) ,and to evaluate its application.Methods Four types of LAMP primers were designed by using the software needle based on the 6 distinct regions of the specific gene of EV71.The process of amplification was completed in the ordinary thermostatic water container by 65 ℃ for 1200 min.The results of amplification were judged by electrophoresis and naked-eye.Seventy EV71 type intestinal positive specimens were simultaneously detected by RT-LAMP and RT-PCR methods.EV71 type of intestinal virus RNA were made a series.After 10 times of dilution ,the RT-LAMP and RT-PCR methods were used to conduct the detection for comparing their sensitivities.Results The LAMP characteristic ladder bands of EV71 appeared ,then the results could judged by the naked-eye.The detection rate in 100 EV71 samples had no statistical difference between RT-LAMP and RT-PCR methods (P>0.05).The sensitivity (10.0 pg/μL) of RT-LAMP was same to that of RT-PCR method.Conclusion The RT-LAMP detection method for EV71 was established ,which can be used for nucleic acid am-plification in the ordinary thermostatic water container.The preliminary application verifies that this RT-LAMP assay has a certain application prospect.

Objective To study the psychological health state of parents of children patients with hand foot mouth disease and provide scientific basement for clinical nursing care. Methods Zung self- rating anxi-ety scale (SAS) and self-designed investigation scale were used to survey 98 parents of children patients with hand foot mouth disease,and selective nursing intervention was adopted. Results The anxiety scores of the parents were significantly higher than those of the normal mode, and their psychological symptom was influ-eneed by various factors. After the nursing intervention, the anxiety degree was significant different from that of before intervention. Conclusions Psychological health levels of the parents of children with hand foot mouth disease were markedly lower than those of healthy individuals. Psychological nursing care should not only in-clude children but also their parents in order to alleviate their bad mental state.

AIM: To establish an animal model for studying the development and metastasis of melanoma. METHODS: C57BL/6 mice were used as host to receive melanoma cell transplantation. Three kinds of melanoma cell lines, B16F0, B16F1 and B16F10, cultured to prepare the cell suspensions, were transplanted into the mouse anterior chamber (AC) of the eye. The time of eyeball diabross, time of survival and metastasis of lymph node and lung were observed. RESULTS: The time of eyeball diabross in F10 group was earlier than that in other groups. The time of eyeball diabross was no difference between F0 and F1 groups. Metastasis was developed 18 days after transplantation in F1 and F10 groups, where the tumor cells was found in ipsilateral cervical lymph nodes. The melanoma cells metastasized to lung in all three groups 28 days after transplantation. The survival time in F0 group was longer than F1 and F10 groups. There was no difference in survival times between F1 and F10 group. CONCLUSION: The differences of three kinds of melanoma cell lines in tumor development and metastasis provided the evidence that was useful for choosing suitable animal model further to study the eye melanima.
