Objective To identify one runny mucoid-like Gram-negative bacteria with pink pigment isolated from clinical pus sample. Methods The pus sample was aseptically extracted from a deep lesions of one patient, then stored in Amies medium at room temperature for transportation. One sheep blood plate and one chocolate plate were used to detect the possible pathogens from the specimens. After inoculation, the plates were placed in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2 at 35 ℃. To identify the obtained isolates, we used the commercial Vitek2 and API systems, combining some traditional morphological examination and classical biochemical and physiological characteristics. For pure cultures, the cellular fatty acids were extracted, methylated, and determined by gas chromatography method. The 16S rRNA gene was amplified and sequenced by a commercial broad-spectrum PCR primers. The phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene was constructed by Mega 4.1 software using the neighbour-joining methods with 1 000 bootstrap replications. Results One runny mucoid-like Gram-negative bacterium, named K8756, was isolated both on sheep blood and chocolate plates after 72 h incubation. The API 20NE profile was 1245045 after a 3-day culture, which would be identified as Ochrobactrum anthropi with a good confidence of 98% probability. It was identified as Ralstonia pickettii and Bordetella bronchiseptica by VITEK 2 GN kits. However, further comparative 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain K8756 was closely related to the valid published Roseomonas mucosa MDA 5527 with 100% identity. Colonial morphologic features, phenotypic characteristics and major cellular fatty acid composition were also with high similarity to Roseomonas mucosa. Conclusions Strain K8756( = GIMCC 1.0030 ) is identified as Roseomonas mucosa by the polyphasic phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. The comparative analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences is a useful method for identifying the problematic and newly named bacteria.

Objective To explore the inhibitory effect of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) on ultraviolet A-induced senescence as well as matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and-3 (MMP-3) mRNA expressions in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs).Methods HDFs were isolated from the prepuce by enzymatic digestion, and subjected to primary culture.Cultured HDFs were randomly divided into several groups: control group cultured in high-glucose DMEM medium and receiving no treatment, three TMP groups treated with 20, 50 and 100 mg/L TMP respectively, UVA group receiving UVA radiation alone, UVA + TMP groups pretreated with 20, 50 and 100 mg/L TMP respectively for different durations followed by UVA radiation.UVA radiation was given once daily for 5 consecutive days.The 55th passage HDFs served as the P55 group (senescence control group).Subsequently, CCK-8 assay was performed to evaluate the proliferative activity of HDFs in vitro, optical microscopy to observe the morphologic changes of HDFs after UVA radiation, β-galactosidase staining to estimate the senescence in HDFs, and real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR to quantify the mRNA expressions of MMP-1 and MMP-3 in HDFs.Statistical analysis was carried out by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by least significant difference (LSD)-t test or Dunnett's T3 test.Results Compared with the control group, the proliferation of HDFs was significantly but transiently inhibited in vitro after the treatment with 100 mg/L TMP for 48 hours (P < 0.05), but showed no significant changes after the treatment with 20 or 50 mg/L TMP for 24, 48 or 72 hours or after the treatment with 100 mg/L TMP for 24 or 72 hours (all P < 0.05).The pretreatments with TMP of 20, 50 and 100 mg/L for 24, 48 and 72 hours all promoted the proliferation of HDFs to a certain degree in the UVA + TMP groups compared with the UVA group, with significant differences in cellular proliferative activity among the UVA group, UVA + TMP groups and control group at 24, 48 and 72 hours (F =17.451,15.231, 23.535, all P < 0.01).Compared with the UVA group, the proliferative activity of HDFs was significantly increased in UVA + 100-mg/L TMP group at 24, 48, 72 hours, UVA + 50-mg/L TMP group at 24 and 72 hours and UVA + 20-mg/L TMP group at 72 hours.After repetitive UVA radiation, HDFs in the UVA group experienced an increase in cell volume, granule acount, and β-galactosidase expression, which was similar to the changes in the P55 group, while the pretreatments with 20, 50 and 100 mg/L TMP for 24 hours suppressed these UVA-induced changes in HDFs.The percentage of β-galactosidase-positive HDFs was 68.417% ± 1.181% in the UVA group, 58.167% ± 5.620% in the UVA + 20-mg/L TMP group, 45.167% ± 5.502% in the UVA + 50-mg/L TMP group, 43.000% ± 2.000% in the UVA + 100-mg/L TMP group, 33.667% ± 5.865% in the control group, and 76.000% ± 6.557% in the P55 group, with significant differences among these groups (F =45.918, P < 0.01).Furthermore, the UVA group significantly differed from the UVA + TMP groups and control group in the percentage of β-galactosidase-positive HDFs and mRNA expressions of MMP-1 and MMP-3 (all P < 0.05).Conclusion TMP can protect HDFs against senescence induced by repetitive UVA radiation, and down-regulate the mRNA expressions of MMP-1 and MMP-3 during senescence.
