OBJECTIVE To study the status of the distribution and drug resistance of Enterococcus in hospital,in order to further provide the effective reference for rational use of antibacterial and the prevention of Enterococcus in clinical therapy. METHODS The drug sensitivity and resistance of 201 strains of Enterococcus were determined by MicroScan WalkAway40 automatic microorganism system. RESULTS The highest incidence rate of Enterococcus was E. faecium (48.8%),the second was E. faecalis (37.3%),and the others were E. gallinarum (13.9%). The drug resistance of E. faecium was much higher than that of E. faecalis. CONCLUSIONS The most of Enterococcus infection is due to E. faecium,and there is a lot of difference for drug resistance in the strains of Enterococcus. It is necessary to rationally use antibacterials on the basis of the drug resistance,infection sites and grade of infection.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effects of 3 kinds of serum containing blood-activating and stasis-eliminating TCM compound formulas on aggressive behavior,Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transduction and transcriptional activator (STAT) pathway of glioma U251 cells. METHODS:Rats were randomly divided into normal saline group (5 mL/kg),Taohong Siwu decoction group(5.7 g/kg),Xuefu Zhuyu decoction(8.5 g/kg)and Didang decoction(2.8 g/kg),calculated by crude drug,intragastrically administrated once a day,for 10 d. 10% drug-containing serum culture medium was prepared after 2 h of last administration. After 10% drug-containing serum culture medium intervening U251 cells for 1 week,Transwell method was conducted to detect the cell invasion rate, Western blot was adopted to detect the metal matrix protease 2 (MMP-2), MMP-9, phosphorylated JAK2 (p-JAK2),phosphorylated STAT3(p-STAT3)protein expression;and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction method was used to detect MMP-2,MMP-9 mRNA expression. RESULTS:Compared with blank serum,Xuefu Zhuyu decoction drug-containing serum can reduce cell invasion rate (P<0.05),decrease the MMP-2,MMP-9 mRNA and its protein expression, and p-JAK2,p-STAT3 protein expression in cells (P<0.05 or P<0.01),while there was no significant difference in above-men-tioned indexes in Taohong Siwu decoction drug-containing serum group and Didang drug-containing serum group(P>0.05). CON-CLUSIONS:In the 3 kinds of blood-activating and stasis-eliminating TCM compound formulas,Xuefu Zhuyu decoction shows sig-nificant invasive effect on inhibiting U251 cells;the mechanism may be related to inhibiting the activation of JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway and decreasing MMP-2,MMP-9 gene and protein expressions.

Objective To explore the relationship of different body mass index, waist circumference and serum lipid levels with essential hypertension among residents of Ningbo. And to explore the predictive value of BMI and WC (Waist Cir-cumference) for hypertension. Methods Adopting cluster sampling, 2 303 people (1 081 cases of hypertension and 1 222 people with normal blood pressure) were collected in the four townships of Ningbo City. We conducted questionnaires, physi-cal examination and blood lipid testing for all of subjects. WC group:WC≥85 cm in male or WC≥80 cm in female is central obesity, and the others are normal. BMI groups:BMI≥24 kg/m2 is overweight, and BMI<24 kg/m2 is normal. The relationship of BMI, WC and serum lipid levels with hypertension was analyzed by multivariate unconditional logistic regression model. The predictive value of BMI and WC for hypertension was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results WC, BMI, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in hypertension group were higher than those in control group (P<0.01). And WC, BMI, TG, LDL-C is the impact factor for hypertension. The overweight rate and central obesity rate in hypertension group were higher than control group (P<0.01). TG and LDL-C level abnormality, overweight and central obesity were the risk factors of hypertension. As a risk factor of hypertension, over-weight with central obesity group is higher than overweight with normal waistline group, simple central obesity group and nor-mal group. In the area under the ROC curve, BMI is higher than WC in both male and female population. Conclusion WC, BMI, TG and LDL-C abnormalities were risk factors for hypertension, and BMI was a better predictive factor for hyper-tension than WC.

Objective:To investigate the effect of lncRNA AC132217.4 on the proliferation and invasion of liver cancer MHCC97-H cells and its molecular mechanism.Methods:The TCGA database was used to analyze the differential expression of AC132217.4 in liver cancer tissue and adjacent tissue, and to analyze the relationship between the expression level of AC132217.4 and the overall survival of liver cancer patients. Transfection of pcDNA-AC132217.4 plasmid into MHCC97-H cells was defined as AC132217.4 group, transfection of pcDNA plasmid into MHCC97-H cells was defined as negative control (NC) group, respectively. The proliferation and invasion ability of MHCC97-H cells were detected by MTT method and Matrigel invasion assay. The binding site between AC132217.4 and miR-18a-5p was analyzed by starBase v2.0 software and dual luciferase reporter gene assay. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) detected the differential expression of miR-18a-5p in the two groups of MHCC97-H cells. The expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition protein was detected by Western-blotting. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and t-test was used for comparison between the two groups. Results:Compared with adjacent tissues, the expression of AC132217.4 was down-regulated in liver cancer tissues ( P<0.01). Compared with liver cancer patients with low expression of AC132217.4, the overall survival of liver cancer patients with high AC132217.4 expression was longer ( P<0.05). The pcDNA-AC132217.4 plasmid significantly inhibited the proliferation of MHCC97-H cells ( P<0.05). The number of invasive cells in the NC group and AC132217.4 group were (131.30±12.55) and (37.45±7.77), respectively. The pcDNA-AC132217.4 plasmid significantly inhibited the invasive ability of MHCC97-H cells ( t=6.36, P<0.01). AC132217.4 directly complemented miR-18a-5p ( P<0.01). The expression of miR-18a-5p in MHCC97-H cells in AC132217.4 group (1.04±0.30) was significantly lower than that in NC group (6.13±0.75) ( t=6.27, P<0.01). Compared with the NC group, the expressions of epithelial phenotype proteins Cytokeratin and Claudin-1 in MHCC97-H cells in AC132217.4 group were up-regulated, while the expressions of mesenchymal phenotype proteins Vimentin, Slug and Snail were down-regulated. Conclusions:The expression of AC132217.4 is low in liver cancer tissue, and it is related to the overall survival of liver cancer patients. AC132217.4 might inhibit the proliferation and invasion of liver cancer MHCC97-H cells by sponge miR-18a-5p.

OBJECTIVETo study the situation of sports and its influencing factors among students in order to improve health related education and promotion programs.

METHODSA multistage random sampling method was used on 3 600 students from three cities to understand their physical exercise behavior. Both t and χ(2) test were used to measure the scale of psychology and to describe the time spent on exercise. Single variance factor was used to measure the levels of change on behavior of physical activities, psychological and physical exercise behaviors.

RESULTSThe weekly exercise time for students was 2.66 ± 1.801 days, with 81.4% of the students less than four days. Data showed that 37.3%, 23.6%, 20.5% of the high school students were in pre-contemplation stage, in contemplation stage, or in preparation stage respectively, with only 18.6 percent of the high school students in the action phase and maintaining phase. Students in the stages of change increase the amount of physical exercises. Scores with statistically significant differences were seen in the following areas: between five stages of behavior change on strategies (F = 77.442, P < 0.001), forward effects on the balance of decision-making (F = 29.498, P < 0.001), having negative effects (F = 14.784, P < 0.001)and self-efficacy (F = 135.544, P < 0.001). Changing strategy on the intention stage of front maintenance phase, positive effects on decision-making balance and self-efficacy scores were increasing along with the increasing stages of changing. The effect of balancing the negative effects increased when the change of phase decreased.

CONCLUSIONStudents were in lack of physical exercise per week. The differences related to the behavior on physical exercise did exist but most of the high school students were in the primary stage. Psychological factors played important role in the different stages of changing, suggesting that high school students should receive different health education and psychological intervention measures to enhance the effectiveness of physical exercise.

BACKGROUND: Both aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) rs671 polymorphism and lifestyle behaviors are involved in coronary artery disease (CAD), while the interaction between them is currently unknown. METHODS: A nested case-control study was conducted in 161 patients with CAD and 495 controls in dyslipidemia population in Yinzhou District, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China, in August 2013. Anthropometric data and blood samples were collected, demographic characteristics and lifestyle behaviors information were obtained by a face-to-face interview, dietary intake was assessed by a food frequency questionnaire, and genomic DNA was genotyped. RESULTS: Carriers with increasing number of A alleles had an elevated CAD risk compared with G allele carriers (adjusted OR = 1.483, 95% CI = 1.114-1.974). Carriers of rs671 A/G and A/A genotypes had a higher CAD risk than carriers of G/G genotype (adjusted OR = 1.492, 95% CI = 1.036-2.148). Similarly, individuals with rs671 A/A genotype had a higher CAD risk than individuals with A/G and G/G genotypes (adjusted OR = 2.161, 95% CI = 1.139-4.101). We found a borderline additive interaction between regular fried food intake and A/A and A/G genotypes, and a significantly additive interaction between sedentary/light physical activity and A/A and A/G genotypes. CONCLUSIONS Individuals with A/A or A/G genotypes of rs671 have a higher CAD risk, if they lack physical activity and take fried food regularly, than individuals with G/G genotypes. These findings can help to provide a guide to targeted heart health management.
