Objective To investigate the periodic variety at the germ form, quantity, flagellar expression and activity of breath enzyme etc during the swarming motility of Proteus mirabilis (PM). Methods The 2, 3, 5-tetraphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC), as indictor of breath enzyme, was added to the culture medium. Electronic microscope was adopted to observe the germ form and flagellar. Quantity of PM was measured by turbidimetry. Results During the PM growth and migration at LB medium, the germ quantity reduced and form changed from short and small to long and thin, flagellar got more and breath enzyme turned into inactive. Conclusion At the LB medium, PM in growth process appeared varieties in length of germ body, flagellar quantity and germs density, etc. PM in solid medium appeared wave motility, resulting from many factors including the environment, the signal transduction in cells and the density of germ.

Objective To explore the conditions for the restoration of competitive dysbacteriosis with antibiotics. Methods The mathematical model of the two competitive floras was analyzed by the Qualitative Theory of Ordinary Differential Equations. Results Three different types of dysbacteriosis and their restoring conditions were obtained. Conclusion Different restoring schemes should be applied for the regulation of different types of dysbacteriosis. Misuse of antibiotics can not result in satisfactory therapeutic effect.

Objective To investigate the regulative role of N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine(GlcNAc) on the stressed mice macrophages function.Methods The stressed mice model was established by electric footshock method.The mice were divided into 5 groups:normal control group,stressed mice model group,low dose Glc-NAc treatment group(0.25 ml 15% GlcNAc),medium-dose GlcNAc treatment group(0.5 ml 15% GlcNAc) and high-dose GlcNAc treatment group(1 ml 15% GlcNAc).GlcNAc was intragastrically injected to corresponding mice 2 h before the electrical stimulation.Peritoneal macrophage(PM?) phagocytosis capability was detected by phagocytosis saccharomycete assay,and PM? energy metabolism was detected by MTT assay.Results Compared with normal control group,stressed mice PM? phagocytosis capability was significantly lower(P

Objective To investigate the correlation between bacterial cryptic growth cell(CGC)and irritable bowel syndrome(IBS).Methods The techniques of micro-culture and morphological observation were employed in examination of the CGC in feces specimens of patients suffering from IBS.Furthermore,the animal monitoring tests was applied in the aspects of CGC formation under inducing factors and colonization at local intestinal mucus.Results A great deal of CGC could be observed in the feces of IBS patients and exhibited continuous proliferation characteristics regardless of using or not using antibiotics.And the CGC in feces showed auto-lysis features when the patients suffered from the disease.The monitoring tests demonstrated that the antibiotics often used presently to IBS patients could induce the formation and colonization of intestinal bacterial CGC.Conclusion Based on the experimental and clinical data,we presume that there is a correlation between intestinal bacterial CGC and IBS.

A strain of P. Aeruginosa,which was seperated from clinical environment ,shows a special characteristic . It keeps normal short rod shape when cultured at 37℃,however,it forms filament without pyocyanin producing when cultured at 25℃ overnight. The filaments will divide and form short rods,simultaneously,produce pyocyanin when culture time is prolonged to over 72h or culture temperature is raised to 37℃. The preliminary study indicates that this phenomenin has nothing to do with nutritive conditions and could the inbluenced by inoculating density and irradiating with ultraviolet rays The absence of pyocyanin was not the cause of filamentous formation by the test results.

The present paper is aimed to explore the origins of Proteus mirabilis (PM) whorl swarming growth phenomenon. The whorl swarming growth phenomenon of PM was observed by changed bacterial culture inoculation time, humidity, vaccination practices, cultured flat placement, magnetic field, pH and other factors. Bacterial ring spiral direction of rotation is counterclockwise and the volatile growth process of PM was whorl swarming growth phenomenon. Spiro fluctuation phenomenon was of high frequency in the sealing tanks by cultured anytime inoculation, wherever inoculation technique applied or not, the presence or absence of the magnetic field, and wherever the dish position was. The experimental results showed that the whorl swarming growth phenomenon of PM requires specific pH environment, in which the facts may be relative to its genetic characteristics and the Earths rotation.

Objective To evaluate the roles of multi-voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) in the early diagnosis of vascular cognitive impairment no dementia (VCIND).Methods Seventy-eight out-patients and inpatients in Department of Neurology, the second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from December 2008 to September 2009 were recruited in this case-control study.Their cognitive functions were assessed with a wide range of neuropsychological battery of tests including Montreal cognitive assessment ( MoCA Beijing Version ), auditory verbal learning test ( AVLT), digital span test (DST), Rey-Osterrieth complex figure test (CFT) ,semantic and phonetic fluency tests, digit symbol coding subtest (DSCT), trail making test (TMT), clock drawing test (CDT) and the Stroop color-word test (SCWT).All patients were classified into vascular cognitive impairment no dementia (VCIND) group and cognitive normal control group based on the results of neuropsychological tests.Eighteen patients with VCIND and 18 gender-, age- and education-matched normal control were randomly selected for the following study.With multi-voxel 1H-MRS, the levels of N-acetylaspartartate (NAA), creatine (Cr) and choline (Cho) in gray matters of bilateral frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe and thalamus were measured and the ratios of NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr were compared between the two groups.Meanwhile, the correlations between scores of MoCA and its sub-items and the ratios of NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr were analyzed in VCIND group.Informed consent was obtained from all participants and the study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the hospital.Results Compared with control group, the ratios of NAA/Cr were significantly decreased in bilateral gray matters of thalamus ( left, 1.56 ± 0.49 vs 1.89 ± 0.48, F = 11.222, P = 0.002; right,1.63± 0.45 vs 1.86 ± 0.33, F = 5.358, P = 0.027 ).No significant difference were found in NAA/Cr in gray matters of bilateral frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe and Cho/Cr in all regions between two groups ( all P > 0.05 ).In VCIND group, the decreased degree of NAA/Cr in bilateral gray matters of thalamus was significantly positively correlated with the MoCA total score ( r = 0.54, 0.44 ) as well as the sub-scores in tested items of memory ( r = 0.61, 0.49 ), attention ( r = 0.43, 0.36 ), language ( r = 0.39,0.31) and visuospatial or executive( r = 0.29 , 0.33, all P<0.05 orP<0.01).Conclusions Cognitive impairment in patients with VCIND maybe related to metabolic dysfunction of neurons in bilateral thalamic.Multi-voxel 1H-MRS plays an important role in early diagnosis and monitoring disease progression of VCIND.

Objective To compare the accuracy rate of talar osteochondral lesions between the small field of view (FOV) surface coil MR imaging and 2D FSE proton density weighted imaging (2D-FSE-PD),3D-SPACE sequences MR imaging with boot-shaped coil.Methods Totally 43 patients (45 ankles) underwent 3D-SPACE sequence after 2D-FSE-PD sequence scanning using the boot-shaped coil,then the PDWI sequence was scanning after the boot-shaped coil was replaced by the small FOV surface coil at 1.5T MRI.The results of the arthroscopic examinations was regarded as the standard for assessing the accuracy rate of the three methods.Results The accuracy rate of 2D-FSE-PD sequence with small FOV surface coil was 86.67% (39/45),the accuracy rate of 2D-FSE-PD sequence with boot coil was 60.00% (27/45),the accuracy rate of 3D-SPACE sequence with boot coil was 68.89% (31/45).The accuracy rate of small FOV surface coil was higher than those of boot coil used 3D-SPACE sequence (x2 =4.114,P =0.002) and boot coil used 2D-FSE-PD sequence (x2 =8.182,P<0.001).There was not significant difference between 3D-SPACE sequence using boot coil and 2D-FSE-PD sequence using boot coil (x2 =0.776,P=0.125).Conclusion Compared with the 2D-FSE-PD and 3D-SPACE sequences with boot-shaped coil,the small surface coil scanning with routine sequence can show talar osteochondral lesions better.
