Objective To establish loop-mediated isothermal amplification(LAMP)method for detecting Streptococcus pneumoniae in clinical samples.Methods Four Streptococcus pneumoniae-specific LAMP primers were designed according to the published sequence of strain R6(GenBank accession number AE008540).Genomie DNA in positive blood cultures was extracted by nanidine hydrochloride and benzene-methanol.Then lytA was amplified by LAMP at 63℃ for 45 minutes.We observed the turbidity in thereaction tube.For further confirmation.The amplified products were also detected using electrophoresis in 2% agarose gels,followed by ethidium bromide staining.Resuits 16 strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae were detected in 196 positive blood cuhure bottles by LAMP.Compared with traditional method.It8 sensitivity and specificity were both 100%and the detection could be finished in an hour.The assay had a minimum detection limit of 102 CFU/m1.Conclusions This IJAMP-based assay is simple,rapid.Sensitive and specific.It can be used to detect trept OCOCCUS pneumoniae in clinical samples.

Objective:To study the correlation between chronic urticaria and Helicobacter pylori infection,and to explore the significance of HP detection in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic urticaria. Methods: Totally 420 cases of chronic urticaria,who were treated in outpatient department from April 2014 to July 2015,and 450 cases of healthy physical people were selected randomly as healthy control group in the same period,then the serum HP unease antibody was detected by colloidal gold method,the positive rate of two groups patients with HP was analysed. Meanwhile 162 chronic urticaria patients with positive HP were divided into experimental group with 88 cases and control group with 74 cases. The patients in the control group were treated with conventional treatment,while the experimental group were treated with triple therapy based on the treatment of control group,and the clinical efficacy of different ther-apeutic methods was analysed in the chronic urticaria patients with positive HP. Results: The positive rate of HP in chronic urticaria group was 38. 6%, and the positive rate of HP in healthy control group was 14. 4%, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0. 05). The effective rate of clinical efficacy in the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group(P<0. 05). Con-clusion:There is close correlation between chronic urticaria and HP infection,HP detection has important clinical significance for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic urticaria.

Objective In order to choose a suitable method in detecting MRS,the detection rate,sensitivity and specificity of Vitek-32 auto microbacteria indentity system,oxacillin agar dilution test,cefoxitin disk diffusion test and PCR for mecA gene are evaluated.Methods MRSA and MRCNS are detected by the four methods metioned above in 175 staphylococci,then comparing the postive detection rate by Chi-square test and calculating sensitivity and specificity of the other three methods based on PCR for meeA gene as a gold standard.Results The detection rate of four methods have no difference in detecting MRSA,but the detection rate of Vitek-32 auto microbacteria indentity system and oxacillin agar dilution test is better than that of PCR for mecA gene in detecting MRCNS.Sensitivity and specificity of Vitek-32 auto microbacteria indentity system,oxacillin agar dilution test and cefoxitin disk diffusion test in detecting MRSA are 100%、96.3%、96.3% and 88.2%、100%、100% respectively,the sensitivity of detecting MRCNS are all 100%,the specificity of detecting MRCNS are 50%、46.1% and 65.4% respectively.Conclusions Both mecA gene and the determination for MIC of Oxacillin should be considered in final decision for MRS,Furthermore.the MRS mediated by mecA gene and the MRS mediated by non-mecA gene should be treated differentially.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prospective efficacy of chronic sinusitis lost to short-term follow up after nasal endoscopic surgery and the influential factors. METHOD: Prospective efficacy of 153 chronic sinusitis (CRS) was evaluated . All cases were treated by nasal endoscopic surgery at least 1 year ago but lost to follow up within 3 months after surgery. The clinical data of 153 patients were analyzed, including gender, age, educational level, course of the disease, smoking and drinking history, early surgery history, allergic rhinitis (AR) history, nasal polyps, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, nasal endoscopy score, CT examination score, the endoscopic experience of surgeons, medication of intranasal glucocorticoid and nasal irrigation after surgery. Multifactor logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the data. RESULT: Among 153 patient, the symptoms of 32 cases (20.9%) were completely control, while those of 74 cases (48.4% ) were partially control, and the symptoms of 47 cases (30.7%) were not controlled. The curative effect were better for CRS without nasal polyps, AR or early surgery history, with CT examination score < or = 5, operated by surgeons with experience of endoscopy surgery for more than 5 years. and treated with intranasal glucocorticoid for more than -1 weeks after surgery. CONCLUSION Postsurgery follow-up should be paid more attention to in treatment of CRS. Plans of follow up should be adjusted to patients condition. Treatment of postoperative sinus cavity should be minimized when the lesion is slight and operated properly.
