OBJECTIVETo investigate the resistance of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) to antimicrobial agents in adolescents.

METHODSOne hundred and eight adolescents (6-18 years old) underwent a gastroscopy examination. H. pylori strains were isolated from gastric mucosa. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by means of Kirby-Baner.

RESULTSThirty-six H. pylori strains were identified. The resistant rate of H. pylori strains to clarithromycin, fruranzolidone and amoxicillin was 8.3%, 16.7% and 33.3%, respectively. H. pylori strains showed a high resistance to metronidazole (94.4%), while no strain was resistant to gentamicin and levofloxacin.

CONCLUSIONSThe H. pylori strains from the adolescents in Zhejiang showed a high resistance to metronidazole and amoxicillin but a low resistance to clarithromycin and fruranzolidone. All of H. pylori strains were susceptive to gentamicin and levofloxacin.

Pericardial effusion and pneumothorax each appeared in 1 case(2.78%).By HRCT,infiltrative lesion and focal lung consolidation were found in 32 patients(88.89%),in which 4 cases were with single lung lesions (11.11%)and 28 cases were with bilateral lung lesions(77.78%).Thirteen cases had diffuse lesions (36.11%),10 cases had pulmonary interstitial hyperplasia(27.78%),9 cases had nodular patterns (25.00%),8 cases had ground-glass shadows(22.22%),9 cases had diffuse miliary lesions(25.00%), 21 cases had enlarged lymph nodes in the mediastinum(58.33%).Cystic lesions were found in 8 cases (22.22%).Thirteen cases had pleural effusion(36.11%),and 2 cases had nodular bump(5.56%). Pericardial effusion and pneumothorax each appeared in 1 case(2.78%).Conclusion The image appearances of PSM in patients with AIDS include infiltrative lesions or focal lung consolidation,ground- glass shadow,enlarged hilar and mediastinum lymph nodes,pleural effusion,interstitial involvement or reticular image pattern(pulmonary interstitial hyperplasia),diffuse miliary lesion,and cystic lesion.

By using the cell density, cell viability, size distribution of cell aggregates,specific consumption rate of glucose (q_ glc ), specific production rate of lactate (q_ lac ), lactate transform rate (Y_ lac/glc ) and amino acids utilization as the evaluation indexes, the growth and metabolism of HEK293 cells under carrier-free immobilization culture mode were examined and compared with those of HEK293 cells cultured in static tissue flasks. It was found that HEK293 cells grown as suspended cell aggregates in spinner flasks maintained the basic growth and metabolism characteristics of HEK293 cells in stationary anchored culture, and HEK293 cells under carrier-free immobilization culture mode as suspended aggregates in stirred bioreactor facilitate perfusion performance and increase unit productivity. Cultivation of HEK293 cells in carrier-free immobilization culture mode has potential for further improving mammalian cells culture technique.

Objective To analyze the death causes of 345 cases with HIV/AIDS in Guangdong area.Methods The situations of 345 hospitalized death cases with HIV/AIDS were conducted by retrospective analysis.Results (1)There were total 3406 hospitalized cases with HIV/AIDS in a hospital from January 2001 to December 2011 and 345 cases died,the fatality rate was 10.13％.Since 2005 the introduction of free anti-viral treatment,the fatality rate of HIV/AIDS declined.The fatality rate of the patients whose CD4+ T lymphocyte counts ＜ 200 cells/μl was 14.61％ (299/2046) and it was significantly higher than that of patients whose CD4 + T lymphocyte counts ≥200 cells/μl (P ＜0.01).(2) 99.42％ of the death cases had more than one kind of opportunistic infections (OI) and there were 924 cases of OI totally.84.64％ of OI related to the death directly.Fungal infection was the most common in OI,followed by bacterial infection.Most OI occurred in the lungs,mouth,other systemic disseminated diseases,gastro intestine,central nerver system,septicemia,skin.The AIDS defining opportunistic infections such as several pneumonia,disseminated penicilliosis marneffei and CNS infections accounted for 29.65％.Other factors that caused HIV/AIDS death included opportunistic tumors,HIV related disease and non AIDS-related disease accounted for 15.36％.No accepted effective highly active antiretroviral therapy (HARRT)also constituted factors of death.Among cases which accepted HARRT treatment,only 6.96％ had the period of treatment over three months.Conclusion The fatality rate of end-stage AIDS patients was high and the opportunistic infections was the most important cause of death.Early diagnosis and treatment for opportunistic infections,timely effective HARRT were the key to improve the quality of life of AIDS patients.

OBJECTIVETo observe the changes in the expressions of somatomedins in the prostate epithelial cells in anoxic condition.

METHODSWe cultured prostate epithelial cell line RWPE-1 in vitro. At 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 hours after seeding of the cells, we determined the gene and protein expressions of the epidermal growth factor (EGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the prostate epithelial cells by RT-PCR and ELISA, respectively.

RESULTSWith the increase of time, the expressions of the EGF, bFGF, TGF-beta, IGF-1 and VEGF genes were obviously up-regulated, more significantly in the anoxic than in the normoxic prostate epithelial cells. Take FGF mRNA, its expression level was 0.14 +/- 0.01 in the anoxic and 0. 12 +/- 0.01 in the normoxic prostate epithelial cells at 8 hours (P = 0.01), but increased to 0.29 +/- 0.01 and 0.14 +/- 0.01, respectively, at 48 hours (P < 0.001). The expression of the TGF-beta protein was also more significantly increased in the anoxic than in the normoxic prostate epithelial cells, 0.32 +/- 0.01 versus 0.26 +/- 0.01 at 4 hours (P = 0.017) and 1.56 +/- 0.13 versus 0.87 +/- 0.06 at 48 hours (P < 0.001). The other 4 somatomedins showed no significant differences in their protein expressions between anoxic and normoxic conditions.

CONCLUSIONAnoxia can up-regulate the gene expressions of somatomedins and increase the secretion of TGF-beta in prostate epithelial cells.
