Contamination of foodborne pathogens is the main cause of related diseases. Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E.coli O157:H7), as a representative of pathogenic E.coli, is one of the most severe and commonly reported E.coli in the world, but there is still no effective clinical treatment against the infection. Antibiotics show effective in the early infection of E.coli O157:H7. However, their extensive use has led to drug-resistant bacteria and genes in recent years, which becomes a great threat to public health. This article reviews the research progress of E.coli O157:H7 from the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the resistance mechanism, and the prevention and control methods, in order to provide a reference for its prevention, early clinical treatment and related research.

Objective To assess effects of cerebral ischemic postconditioning(IPost)on neuronal apoptosis and phosphated glycogen synthase kinase-3β(GSK-3β)after cerebral ischemic/reperfusion.Methods The experiment was conducted at the center for animal experiment of Renmin Hospital,Wuhan University.Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups:sham operation(S),ischemic/reperfusion(I/R)and ischemic postconditioning(IPost).Each group contained ten rats.Global brain ischemia was produced with four-VO method.Animals were killed after two days.Apoptosis in neurons in the cortex region were detected by TUNEL assay; infarct areas were detected by TTC ; activity of p-GSK-3β was detected by spectrum assay; Statistical software SPSS13.0 was applicated to perform one-way ANOVA Student-Newman-Keul test; correlation was detected by linear regression.Results Compared with group S,TUNEL-positive cells and infarct areas increased(P ＜0.01),the activity of p-GSK-3β decreased in I/R and IPost groups(P ＜ 0.01).Compared with group I/R,TUNEL-positive cells and infarct areas significantly decreased(P ＜ 0.01),the activity of p-GSK-3β increased in group IPost(P ＜ 0.01).The activity of p-GSK-3β and TUNEL-positive cells had highly correlation,so as infarct areas(P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions IPost can lessen the ischemic/reperfusion injury of Cortex,through increas the activity of p-GSK-3[β and decreasing neuronal apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of penehyclidine hydrochloride on the cell apoptosis in lung tissues in a rat model of traumatic acute lung injury (ALI) .Methods Fifty-four SD rats weighing 225-275 kg were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 18 each) : control group (group C) , ALI group, penehyclidine hydrochloride group ( group P) . Traumatic ALI was induced by dropping a self-made impact device on the chest of anesthetized rats according to the technique described by Raghavendran et al. Intraperitoneal penehyclidine hydrochloride 2 mg/kg was injected immediately after blunt chest trauma and at 12 h after blunt chest trauma in group P. Six rats in each group were sacrificed at 3, 12 and 24 h after blunt chest trauma and the lung tissues collected for microscopic examination and determination of cell apoptosis (by TUNEL) and expression of Bax and Bcl-2 (by immuno-histochemical staining) . The apoptosis index was calculated. Results The apoptosis index and expression of Bax and Bcl-2 were significantly higher, while the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax was significantly lower at each time point in groups ALI and P than in group C ( P ＜ 0.05) . The apoptosis index and Bax expression were significantly lower,while the Bcl-2 expression and ratio of Bcl-2/ Bax higher at each time point in group P than in group ALI.The microscopic examination showed that penehyclidine hydrochloride injection significantly attenuated the pathologic changes. Conclusion Penehyclidine hydrochloride can reduce the traumatic ALI through inhibiting the cell apoptosis in rat lung tissues.

Objective To investigate the role of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor (GABAAR) in lung tissues in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury in rats.Methods Thirty-two male Wistar rats,aged 8 weeks,weighing 200-230 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =8 each) ∶ control group (group C),group LPS,GABA pretreatment + LPS group (group GABA) and GABAAR antagonist bicuculline pretreatment + LPS group (group BIC).Acute lung injury was induced by intravenous LPS 5 mg/kg in groups LPS,GABA and BIC,while the equal volume of normal saline was given in group C.GABA 50 mg/kg and bicuculline 10 μmol/kg were injected intraperitoneally 30 min before LPS injection in GABA and BIC groups,respectively.Arterial blood samples were collected at 6 h after LPS injection for measurement of arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2).The animals were then sacrificed and lungs removed for determination of W/D lung weight ratio,GABAAR expression,contents of interleukin-6 (IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in lung tissues and for microscopic examination.Results Compared with group C,PaO2 was significantly decreased in the other three groups,and W/D lung weight ratio,TNF-α,IL-6 and MDA contents were significantly increased,GABAAR expression was up-regulated,and SOD activity was decreased in groups LPS and GABA (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group LPS,W/D lung weight ratio,TNF-α,IL-6 and MDA contents were significantly increased,GABAAR expression was up-regulated,and SOD activity was decreased in group GABA (P ＜ 0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group BIC and in PaO2 in groups GABA and BIC (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion GABAA R in lung tissues is involved in the development of acute lung injury induced by LPS.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of mNGF to peripheral neuropathy induced by n-bexane. Methods 54 cases were treated with mNGF (18 μg i. m qd.) and the period of treatment is 56 days. 15 severe cases treated with two periods of treatment. Subjects received symptoms and signs of nerve system and activi-ties of daily living (ADL) scale were examined before and every 14 days after treated, The efficacy of mNGF was as-sessed by score increase of each index before and after treatment himself.

Results During the trial, The indexes had improved remarkably in two weeks after the treatment , There were highly significant differ-ences in score increase after 4 ～ 8 weeks of treatment(P < 0. 01). It indicated that treatmented with mNGF was effec-tive. There were no severe adverse events (SAE) found among 54 trial subjects. There were no evident abnormalities in laboratory examinations before and after treatment. Pains of the injected sites are the main ADR, the incidence was 68.5% (37/54). Conclusion The results of the research indicated that mNGF clinical application could be consid-ered as safe and effective.

Objective To investigate the effect of radix paeoniae rubra (RPR) on expressions of p38MAPK, NF-κB and iNOS in ltpopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and explore its protective mechanism. Methods Forty Wistar rats with ALI were divided randomly into five groups: saline control group (Group A) , LPS group (Group B), RPR for treatment group (Group C), RPR for prevention group (Group D) and SB203580 group (Group E). The effects of RPR on protein content and the ratio of neutrophiles in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), contents of malondidehyde (MDA) and serum NO in lung tissue were observed. Arterial blood was collected for blood gas analysis. Expressions of p38MAPK, NF-κB and iNOS in rat lung tissues were detected. Results Compared with Group A, expressions of p38MAPK, NF-κB and iNOS were significantly increased (P <0.01 orP< 0.05) , the protein content and the ratio of neutrophiles in BALF, contents of MDA and serum NO were significantly higher (P<0.01 or P<0.05) in Groups B, C, D and E. There was a significant decrease in the level of arterial bicarbonate and partial pressure of oxygen in Groups B, C, D and E (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Compared with Group B, the expressions of p38MAPK, NF-κB and iNOS were significantly lower, and the protein content and the ratio of neutrophiles in BALF, contents of MDA and serum NO were significantly decreased, while the levels of arterial bicarbonate and partial pressure of oxygen were significantly higher in Groups C, D and E (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with Group B, the lunginjury of Groups C, D and E was significantly alleviated, while there was no statistical difference among Groups C, D and E in the indices of lung injury. Conclusion Protective effect of RPR on LPS-induced ALI is closely related to the inhibited expressions of p38MAPK, NF-κB and iNOS.

Objective To observe the effects of exogenous sodium phosphocreatine (PCr) on cerebral repeffusion injury of rats after ischemia in order to explore the potential mechanism. Method Thirty-six healthy adult male Wistar rats with body weight 200- 220 g were randomly (random number) divided into sham operation group, ischemic reperfusion (I/R) group and PCr treatment group. The I/R model was established by using electro-cauterizing bilateral vertebral arteries and occluding bilateral common carotid arteries with atraumatic carotid clasps for 10 min, and then the clasps were released for 48 hours reperfusion. In sham operation group, bilateral common carotid arteries were exposed without occlusion. In PCr treatnent group, PCr in dose of 150 mg/kg was administered intravenously 60 min before the occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries. Normal saline was administered intravenously instead of PCr into rats of I/R group. After reporfusion for 48 hours, the rats were sacrificed and brains removed for detections of neuron apoptosis by using TUNEL, malondialdebyde (MDA) level by using chromtometry and calmodulin (CaM) activity by using ELISA. Results Compared with sham operation group, TUNEL-positive cells, MDA level and CaM activity increased in I/R group and PGr treatment group ( P ＜0.01). Compared with I/R group, TUNEL-positive cells, MDA level and CaM activity were lower significantly in PCr treatment group ( P ＜ 0.01). Conclusions PCr can lessen cerebral ischemic reperfusion injury and neuron apoptosis, the mechanism maybe relates to the attenuation of abnormalities in calcium balance and reduction of oxygen free radicals by PCr.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion-induced acute lung injury (ALl) and protective effect of ischemic postconditioning.Methods Forty SD rats were allocated to sham group,myocardial ischemia/reperfusion group (reperfusion group),ischemic postconditioning group (postconditioning group),and ischemic postconditioning + phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) inhibiting group (inhibitor group) according to the random number table,with 10 rats per group.Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion was induced by left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion.Postconditioning was performed within 1 minute before reperfusion consisting of 3 10 s cycles of reperfusion followed by 10 s occlusion.Lung was immediately removed 120 minutes after reperfusion for HE stain,immunohistochemical detection of inflammatory factors and apoptosis factors,TUNEL assay of cell apoptosis,and Western blot of protein kinase B (Akt),phospho-Akt (p-Akt),glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β),and phospho-GSK-3β (p-GSK-3β).Results Down-regulated B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and IL-10 and up-regulated Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax),cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-3 (Caspase-3),IL-6 as well as IL-8 were observed in other 3 groups compared with sham group (P ＜0.01).Moreover,down-regulated Bax,Caspase-3,IL-6,IL-8 as well as TUNEL and up-regulated Bcl-2 as well as IL-10 were observed in reperfusion group compared to postconditioning group and tensor group (P ＜ 0.01).No statistical differences were found among the four groups in levels of Akt,p-Akt,and GSK-3β,but level of p-GSK-3β was significantly down-regulated in reperfusion group compared to other 3 groups(P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Development of ALI may relate to down-regulation of p-GSK-3β evoked directly by the release of inflammation factors in early period of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion and ischemic postconditioning may attenuate the condition.

Objective To investigate the effects of penehyclidine hydrochloride (PHC) on acute lung injury induced by blunt chest trauma-hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation in rats.Methods Forty male SpragueDawley rats,aged 8 weeks,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly assigned into 4 equal groups (n =10 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (S group),blunt chest trauma combined with hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation group (group THSR),PHC for prevention group (group P1)and PHC for treatment group (group P2).ALI was induced by dropping a 300 g weight onto a precordial protective shield to direct the impact force away from the heart and toward the lungs in anesthetized rats in THSR,P1 and P2 groups.Blood was withdrawn via the femoral artery 5 min later until MAP was decreased to 35-45 mmHg within 15 min and maintained at this level for 60 min,followed by resuscitation.In P1 group,PHC 2 mg/kg was injected intravenously at 30 min before blunt chest trauma.In P2 group,PHC 2 mg/kg was injected intravenously at 60 min after hemorrhagic shock.At 6 h after the model was established,arterial blood samples were obtained for blood gas analysis and for measurement of concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in serum by ELISA.Oxygenation index (OI) was calculated.The animals were sacrificed and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected for determination of white blood cell count and protein concentrations.Lungs were removed for examination of pathological changes and ultrastructure and for determination of Toll-like receptor (TLR4) and phosphor-p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p-p38MAPK) expression (by Western blot).Results Compared with group S,PaO2 and OI were significantly decreased,PaCO2,protein concentrations in BALF,white blood cell count,and IL-6 and IL-1β concentrations in serum were increased,and TLR4 and p-p38MAPK expression was up-regulated in THSR,P1 and P2 groups.Compared with group THSR,PaO2 and OI were significantly increased,PaCO2,protein concentrations in BALF,white blood cell count,and IL-6 and IL-lβ concentrations in serum were decreased,TLR4 and p-p38MAPK expression was down-regulated in P1 and P2 groups.No significant differences were found in the parameters mentioned above between P1 and P2 groups.Conclusion PHC can mitigate acute lung injury induced by blunt chest trauma-hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation in rats,and inhibited activation of TLR4/ p38MAPK signaling pathway and attenuated inflammatory responses are involved in the mechanism.
