Objective To investigate the incidences, risk factors, genotypes and epidemiology of community-acquired blood stream infection caused by extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs)-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia strains and to analyze the sensitivity of those ESBLs producing strains to commonly used antibiotics. Methods Forty-two patients who were diagnosed with community-ac-quired blood stream infection caused by Escherichia coli or Klebsiella pneumonia strains in Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital were recruited in this study. Disc diffusion method was used for the phenotypic confirmato-ry test of ESBLs. Agar dilution method was performed to measure the antimicrobial susceptibility of the ESBLs-producing strains to 13 clinically commonly used antibiotics. Genotypes of the ESBLs-producing strains were identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) was used to analyze the epidemiology of ESBLs-producing strains. Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the risk factors for community-acquired blood stream infection. Results The ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli strains accounted for 56. 3% (18 / 32) and the ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains accounted for 20% (2 / 10). All of the 20 ESBLs-producing strains were sensitive to imipenem, meropenem, ertapen-em, nitrofurantoin and moxalactam. The ESBLs-producing strains sensitive to amikacin, piperacillin-tazobactam and fosfomycin accounted for 95% , 90% and 85% , respectively. Drug resistance rates of the 20 strains to cefotaxime, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin and cefepime were relatively high accounting for 100% , 80% , 80% and 75% , respectively. Among the 20 ESBLs-producing strains, 7 strains only carried the CTM gene, while the other 13 strains were all positive for two genotypes of ESBLs, mainly identified as TEM+CTM-M-14 and TEM+CTM-15 genotypes. The 18 Escherichia coli strains were classified into 10 ST types, most of which were ST131 type, followed by ST10 and ST38 types. This study indicated that malignant tumor might be a possible risk factor. Conclusion The prevalence of community-acquired blood stream infection caused by ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli strains was becoming increasingly serious. Malignant tumor might be the risk factor associated with the producing of ESBLs in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia strains. TEM+CTX-M-14 was the predominant genotype of ESBLs-producing strains and the prevalent clone was ST131 type. Carbapenems and enzyme inhibitor compounds were ideal drugs for the treatment of commu-nity-acquired blood stream infection caused by ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia strains. This study was limited by the small sample size. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct further resear-ches based on a large number of samples.

Objective To describe the prevalence and risk factors of insomnia among adults in YiBin City. Meth?ods Using multi-stage stratified cluster sampling, 12000 subjects over 18 years old were identified in YiBin City. The subjects were screened using the insomnia survey self-edited and risk factors of insomnia were identified through logistic analysis. Results A total of 11227 subjects completed the survey in which 1671 people (14.9%, 95%CI:14.2%~15.5%) were diagnosed insomnia using ICD-10. Among them, 9.4% (157 patients) had seeked for professional help. The multi?variate logistic analysis showed that low level of life quality(OR=2.42,P<0.01), jobless(OR=1.87,P<0.01), over 60 years old(OR=1.69,P<0.01), fewer years of education(OR=1.41,P<0.01), female(OR=1.41,P<0.01)and lower annu?al per capita income(OR=1.15,P=0.01)were risk factors in insomnia people. Conclusion The incidence of insomnia is high in YiBin city. Sleep quality in high-risk group needs more attention and corresponding measures should be taken in order to increase the rate of asking for help in insomnia people.

Objective:To investigate the effect and potential mechanism of serum exosome-derived cirC_0009362 on the osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymalstem cells (hBMSCs) .Methods:Serum samples from patients with osteoporosis (OP) were collected and exosomes were isolated. The expression level of circ_0009362 in exosomes was detected by qRT-PCR. hBMSCs osteogenesis was induced and the expression of circ_0009362 and miR-29b-3p was detected. The interaction between circ_0009362 and miR-29b-3p was detected by dual luciferase reporter assay. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) kit was used to detect ALP activity and alizarin red (ARS) staining was used to detect calcium deposition.Results:Compared with healthy control group, the expression of circ_0009362 in serum exosomes of OP patients was increased, and the expression of circ_0009362 was decreased after inducing hBMSCs osteogenesis (all P<0.05) . The ALP activity and the percentage of calcium deposition in hBMSCs were decreased by exosomes, and this effect was achieved by secreting circ_0009362. The effect of exosomes was partially offset by circ_0009362 expression in knockdown exosomes (all P<0.05) . The expression of miR-29b-3p was increased after inducing hBMSCs osteogenesis ( P<0.05) . Circ_0009362 had a targeting relationship with miR-29b-3p, and exosomes inhibited the expression of miR-29b-3p by secreting circ_0009362. The ALP activity and the percentage of calcium deposition in hBMSCs were promoted by overexpression of miR-29b-3p, which was partially offset by exosomes (all P<0.05) . Conclusion:Serum exosomes of OP patients inhibit the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs by secreting circ_0009362 to down-regulate the expression of miR-29b-3p.
