Objective To analyze the distribution characteristics of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii ,and to investigate the changing pattern of antimicrobial resistance of these strains isolated during 2012 - 2014 .Methods Strains of Pseud‐omonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from January 2012 to December 2014 were collected .Antimicrobial suscep‐tibility of clinical isolates was tested by Kirby‐Bauer method .Results In the past three years ,214 strains of Pseudomonas aerugino‐sa and 347 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii were isolated .The nosocomial infection rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa decreased year by year ,while the Acinetobacter baumannii ′s increased .Most strains were isolated from sputum ,wound secretion and urine . The strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii were distributed in various departments of the hospital .The detection rates of these strains were the highest in ICU ,respectively 27 .6% and 34 .9% .Both the resistance rates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to ceftazidime ,imipenem ,Amikacin and Acinetobacter baumannii to Piperacillin/Tazobactam and imipenem had in‐creased ,while the resistance rates of Acinetobacter baumannii to polymyxin B had decreased with each passing year .Conclusion Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii causes severe nosocomial infections and the antimicrobial resistance rates in‐creased ,especially the resistance rates to carbapenem are becoming more higher in recent years .Acinetobacter baumannii shows strong antibacterial activity in vitro to Polymyxin B .Therefore ,antimicrobial resistance surveillance should be strengthened to direct rational use of antibiotics .

Objective To investigate and compare the clinical values of serum procalcitonin (PCT)and high sensitivity C-reac-tive protein (hs-CRP)levels for predicting the blood culture positivity in the patients with sepsis.Methods 132 adult patients with sepsis were enrolled in this study.Blood cultures were performed before the antibacterial therapy.The white blood cell (WBC) count,absolute neutrophil count(ANC),levels of PCT and hs-CRP were determined.The application value of PCT and hs-CRP for predicting the positive blood culture results were evaluated.Results The median serum PCT levels in the blood culture positive group and the blood culture negative group were 7.92 ng/mL and 0.95 ng/mL respectively,the difference had statistical signifi-cance(P <0.01).The receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curves showed that PCT had a higher predictive accuracy for blood culture positivity compared with hs-CRP,the area under the curve (AUC)was 0.810(P =0.001)and 0.690(P =0.274),respec-tively.The combined detection of PCT and hs-CRP for predicting the blood culture positive results was similar to the performance of PCT alone,AUC as 0.885 (P =0.001 ).The median cut point of PCT was 0.91 ng/mL,the sensitivity of PCT for predicting blood culture positivity was 90%.This sensitivity remained unchanged when PCT cut point was1.14ng/mL.Using the PCT cut points of 0.91 and 1.14 enabled reducing the submitted blood cultures by 51% and 56% respectively.Conclusion Compared with hs-CRP,serum PCT level could better predict the blood culture positivity in the patients with sepsis.

Objective To screen and identify the phage-display random 7 amino acid peptide specific to the systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) and analyze its practical significance. Methods Using the phage random 7 peptide library screening, the SLE specific phage clones are obtained after binding with the mixture of sera from 30 SLE patients and 30 normal controls as ligand respectively. Then the Dot-ELISA is used to identify the SLE specific phage clones reactive to sera of the SLE patients and normal controls individually. Finally the identified phage-display random 7 amino acid peptides are sequenced and it's homology with the antigenic epitope of human being and other are also analyzed. Results Total 12 of the phage-display random 7 amino acid peptide are obtained by phage peptide library screening and the Dot-ELISA identification. Sequence analysis shows that the identified phage-display random 7 amino acid peptide epitope have homology with E. coli, Salmonella and human immunodeficiency virus, but not with that of human being. Conclusion SLE-specific peptides screened by phage random peptide library maybe used to diagnosis the SLE. Meanwhile, the antibodies in SLE patients which are combined with the Pathogen epitope, suggest that SLE maybe relate to pathogen infection.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of microRNA-150(miR-150)in human epi-thelial ovarian cancer cells and its effect on proliferation,apoptosis,invasion and metastasis of human epithelial ovarian cancer cells. Methods The expression level of miR-150 in cells from each treatment group was detected by Real-Time PCR(qRT-PCR);effects of proliferation,apoptosis,invasion and metastasis of epithelial ovarian cancer cells was investigated by MTT,flow cytometry, and transwell assays. Results Compared with normal ovarian epithelial cells(T29),the expression of miR-150 was significantly de-creased in epithelial ovarian cancer cells(A2780 and OVCAR3)(P<0. 01); After transfection miR-150 mimic,the expression of miR-150 in A2780 and OVCAR3 cells was significantly increased(P<0. 01);After 3 d of transfection,the OD values of the miR-150mimicgroup(A2780:1.12±0.03;OVCAR3:1.91±0.03)werelowerthanthatintheblankgroup(A2780:2.35±0.09;OVCAR3:2.63 ±0.07)and the miR-150 NC group(A2780:2.18 ±0.07;OVCAR3:2.43 ±0.11)(P<0.01);The apoptotic rate in the miR-150 mimic group(A2780:16. 10 ± 0. 58% ;OVCAR3:15. 16 ± 1. 30% ) were significantly increased when compared to the blank group(A2780:10. 07 ± 0. 66%;OVCAR3:3. 81 ± 0. 24%) and the miR -150 NC group(A2780:10. 36 ± 1. 08%;OVCAR3:4.89 ±0.07%)(P<0.01);The number of transmembrane cells in the miR-150 mimic group(A2780:38.67 ±2.03;OVCAR3:28. 67 ± 2. 03)was higher than that in the blank group(A2780:76. 30 ± 7. 45;OVCAR3:55. 67 ± 3. 18)and the miR-150 NC group(A2780:74. 33 ± 5. 78;OVCAR3:56. 33 ± 3. 84)(P<0. 01). Conclusion The decreased expression of miR-150 in epi-thelial cancer cells may be one of the mechanisms of proliferation,invasion and metastasis of epithelial ovarian cancer. Up-regulation of miR-150 may inhibit the proliferation of epithelial ovarian cancer cells and promote apoptosis to reduce the abilities of invasion and metastasis in epithelial ovarian cancer cells.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of miR-455-5p in epithelial ovarian cancer and its effect on the development of epithelial ovarian cancer. Methods The miRNA expression data of normal ovarian epithelial tis-sues and epithelial ovarian cancer tissues GSE83693 were downloaded from the GEO database. Differential expression analysis was used to obtain differential expression data of miRNAs in epithelial ovarian cancer. The expression of miR-455 -5p was analyzed whether there is difference expression between normal ovarian epithelium and epithelial ovary cancer tissues; qRT-PCR was used to verify the differential expression prediction results; bio-informatics software was used to analyze the KEGG pathway enrichment and GO gene function annotation of miR-455-5p target genes,and to explore the disorders of dyregulated miR-455-5p in the devel-opment of epithelial ovarian cancer. Results A total of 101 cases of differentially expressed miRNAs were screened,34 cases were up-regulated and 67 cases were down-regulated. Among them,miR-455-5p was down-regulated significantly(P<0. 01),and the different fulds were -2. 9019. The results of qRT-PCR showed that the expression of miR-455-5p in epithelial ovarian cancer cells(SKOV-3,OVCAR-3 and A2780)was significantly lower than that in normal ovarian epithelial cells(IOSE-80),and the dif-ferential expression was statistically significant(P<0. 05). The results of KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that miR-455-5p regulated target genes mainly involved in five pathways,including TGF-β signaling pathway,Hippo signaling pathway,ECM-receptor interaction,transcriptional dysregulation pathway in cancer,and chronic granule cellular leukemia,which were associated with tumors. GO functional annotation analysis showed that the target genes regulated by miR-455-5p in the above pathway was mainly involved in protein phosphorylation,promoted cell proliferation and migration,inhibited apoptosis,promoted epithelial-mesenchymal transition,regulated transcription and regulated cell cycle,etc. ,which associated with tumorigenesis. Conclusion The expression of miR-455-5p is down-regulated in epithelial ovarian cancer. The miR-455-5p target genes are involved in the pathogenesis and function of epithelial ovarian cancer,and are associated with the development of epithelial ovarian cancer.
