OBJECTIVE To investigate the drug-resistance of ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli for guiding the clinical drug-using.METHODS The Kirby-Bauer agar diffusion method was used to analyze the drug resistance of 68 E.coli isolates in these three years.The ESBLs-producing strains were detected by confirmed test.RESULTS Thirty one ESBLs-producing strains were detected and the isolated rate was 54.4%;the resistant rates of these isolates were up to 50% to penicillin and three generations cephalosporin.The resistant rate to quinolone was about 70%.All of the strains were susceptible to imipenem.CONCLUSIONS More attention should be paid on the detection of ESBLs-producing E.coli and prevent the prevalence of the drug-resistant strains.

Objective To explore the role of intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1)and lym- phocyte function-associated antigen-I(LFA-1)in the pathogenesis of Sjgren's syndrome(SS)and provide a theoretical basis for clinical therapy.Methods Immunohistochemical method was used to detect these two cellular adhesion molecules in labial salivary glands of primary Sjgren's syndrome patients and 15 healthy controls.Semiquantitative analysis was performed by image analysis software.Results①In salivary gland samples,the expression of both ICAM-1 and LFA-1 was significantly higher compared to that of controls(P

This study was based on live yeast cell derivative (LYCD), which was produced by live yeast cell stressed with high temperature and H 2O 2. The results showed that pretreating of low dose(37℃and 0.2mmol/L H 2O 2) could increase the content of GSH and the activity of SOD and CAT. These pretreatment could induce the resistance to lethal concentration of H 2O 2. LYCD was produced by yeast treated with 37℃ and 0.2mmol/L H 2O 2. And it was found that the survival of yeast treated with lethal concentration of H 2O 2 obviously increased, while LYCD was added in yeast culture. It indicated that LYCD could have resistance to oxidative condition.

Objective To analyze the curative effects and complications of ventriculo-peritoneal shunt in treating hydrocephalus caused by different diseases in children. Methods The data of 289 children with hydrocephalus who were performed ventriculo-peritoneal shunt were examined and the incidence rate of complications was analyzed. Results Thirty-seven incidences of complications occurred in 24 patients with the total incidence rate of 12.46%.There was obstruction of proximate tube in five cases,distal end in two cases,with the obstruction rate of 2.42%.Postoperative infection happened in nine cases(3.11%).Bacterial culture was positive in three cases,two of which were Staphylococcus epidermidis and Bacillus coli in the other one.Negative results were found in six patients for the bacterial culture.Subdural hematoma occured in one case,and tube break after injury in two cases.Slit ventricle syndrome broke out seven times in three cases,leakage of cerebrospinal fluid in two,exposure of pumps in three,and subcutaneous hydrops in two.Four cases(1.38%)were dead from infection. Conclusion Ventriculo-peritoneal shunt is preferred for hydrocephalus in children if the complications are well prevented and controlled.

Objective To examine the relationship of heparanase expression and age, clinicopathological features and prognosis of ovarian cancer patients. Methods Forty-one ovarian cancer specimens, from the patients admitted to the 3 hospitals of our university during the period of Jan 2003 to Nov 2005, were of serous carcinoma (22 cases) and mucous carcinoma (10 cases) and other types (9 cases), of which 16 were well and moderately differentiated and 25 poorly differentiated. Ten specimens of normal ovarian tissues were taken as normal controls. The heparanase expression was detected in all specimens and its relationship with histologic type, differentiation, FIGO stage and prognosis of the ovarian cancer was analyzed. Results The positive rate of heparanase expression was 80.48% in ovarian cancer tissues and 10.00% in normal ovarian tissues (P

96%).There are 14 nucleotide mutations between yak and cattle and 3 of that were predicted to alter the protein sequence,both of which occurred in the domain III.Construction of molecular phylogenetic tree shows:The cluster results coincided with the traditional taxonomy.

Objective:To investigate the level of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), one of gut metabolites, in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) accompanied by congestive heart failure (HF) and its influencing factors.Methods:Those patients of 18-75 years old who received three or more times of hemodialysis sessions per week for three months or longer during Nov 2018 and Mar 2019 were enrolled. Those attended health checkup at the same time without obvious kidney abnormality served as non-kidney disease controls. Serum TMAO concentrations were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS). The levels of TMAO were compared between patients on hemodialysis and controls, between those with heart failure and without heart failure using logrithmically transformed TMAO (lnTMAO). Linear regression analysis was performed to investigate factors influencing TMAO levels.Results:A total of 195 patients undergoing MHD and 40 controls were enrolled. Among them, 30 hemodialysis cases (15.4%) manifested as heart failure symptoms and/or left ventricular ejection fraction less than 50%. Males accounted for 67.2% in patients on hemodialysis and 37.5% in controls ( χ2=12.426, P<0.001) respectively, while the median ages in both groups were 62.0(48.0, 71.0), 45.0(33.3, 55.0) years old respectively ( Z=5.685, P<0.001). TMAO concentrations were significantly higher in patients on hemodialysis than controls [5.54(3.84, 8.91) mg/L vs 0.17(0.11, 0.30) mg/L, after log transformed, t=21.687, P<0.001]. However, there was no statistically significant difference between those with heat failure and those without in male [63.3% vs 67.9%, χ2=0.238, P=0.626], age [64.5(56.8, 71.0) years old vs 61.0(47.0, 72.0) years old, Z=0.894, P=0.372] and TMAO [5.17(3.30, 9.46) mg/L vs 5.57(3.87, 8.95) mg/L, after log transformed, t=-1.537, P=0.135]. Multivariate linear regression analysis demonstrated that in all the participants, serum urea was the main risk factor for TMAO [standardized coefficient ( SB)=0.483]. lnTMAO=0.078×[serum urea(mmol/L)]+0.001×[serum creatinine (μmol/L)]-0.002×[serum uric acid (μmol/L)]-0.003×[platelet (×10 9/L)]+0.014×[age (years old)]+0.344 (if diabetic)-1.266. While in those undergoing MHD, ultrafiltration volume had the most significant effect on TMAO levels ( SB=0.279). lnTMAO=0.249×[ultrafiltration volume(L)]+0.059×[serum albumin (g/L)]+0.008×[age (years old)-0.526 (if heart failure existed)-1.865. Conclusions:MHD patients have gut dysbiosis, while those hemodialysis patients accompanied by heart failure may have peculiar gut microbiota which induces lower serum TMAO levels than those without heart failure after adjusting for multiple related factors. Serum TMAO levels may be associated with ultrafiltration volume and nutrition status etc.

Mutagenesis and screening of hydrogen-producing photosynthetic bacteria,Rhodobacter sp.R7 strain,was investigated by using the combination mutation of ultraviolet ray and LiCl and layer plating methods.A carotenoid mutant named R726 strain was obtained.The plate phenotype properties in carotenoid mutant were different from that of parent strains.Living cells spectra showed that absorption peak of 550 nm was appeared in carotenoid mutant,but not in parent strain.The absorption spectra of extraction of pigment further confirmed the difference of carotenoid composition between the mutant and parent strains.The result of TLC on silica gel plate showed that mutant has a lack of yellow carotenoid composition which occurs in parent strain.H_2 productivity and biomass in carotenoid mutant was higher than that of parent strain.These results revealed that mutant has a modified carotenoid biosynthesis pathway.
