Purpose To analyze the PET image of normal human brain by using Scenium software, so as to ifnd out the change of cerebral glucose metabolism with different age and gender. Materials and Methods Brain PET imaging data of 493 healthy males and 273 healthy females were collected in the study. The subjects were divided into 6 groups according to age:21-30 years group,31-40 years group, 41-50 years group, 51-60 years group, 61-70 years group and 71-82 years group. Each group was further subdivided according to gender. The brain areas were automatically outlined by Scenium and the mean standard uptake value (SUV) of each brain area was calculated and compared among groups. Results Most cerebral glucose metabolism of males at different age was significantly different (F=2.580-5.316, P<0.05), except temporal lobe in right side and cerebellum showed no difference (F=1.611-1.935, P>0.05); whilst difference in cerebral glucose metabolism of females at different age was not signiifcant (F=0.721-1.706, P>0.05). In male groups, cerebral glucose metabolism got peak at 31-40 years, and decreased signiifcantly at 51-60 years mainly involving areas like cinglulate gyrus, calcarine and surrounding cortex;and the groups after 61 years showed no signiifcant decrease. In female groups, cerebral glucose metabolism got peak at 31-40 years and showed no significant decrease along with age. Conclusion Cerebral glucose metabolism decreases unevenly after 40 years old. It drops significantly in males at 51-60 years whilst that in females is not obvious.

Objective To investigate the relationship of resistance mechanisms of a Klebsiella pneumoniae strain and a Morganella morganii strain resistance to carbapenems isolated from a single specimen. Methods Sensibility of antimicrobial agents was detected by agar dilution method. Specific PCR and DNA sequence analysis were performed to detect resistance genes. Plasmid feature was detected by plasmid conjugation and electrophoresis analysis. Genetic environment around blaKPC was analyzed with sequencing. The changes of outer membrane permeability were analyzed with electrophoresis of outer membrane proteins. Results blaKPC-2 was detected in 2 original isolates strains and their transconjugants. Carbapenem-resistance was successfully transfered by conjugation experiments. blaKPC-2 was located on dissimilar plasmids, but genetic environment around blaKPC-2 was the same sequence. The Morganella morganii isolate showed a loss of 38 ×103 OMPs and an additional 36 ×103 OMPs appearance, while the Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate showed a loss of OMPK36. Conclusion blaKPC-2 was detected in 2 isolates. This gene encoded by two plasmids with different sizes was located on the same composite transposon. The lack of outer membrane proteins could also play an important role causing isolates to exhibite resistance to carbapenems.

Objective To investigate the molecular epidemiology and mechanism of carbapenem resistance of Escherichia coli collected from intensive care units(ICUs)of general surgery.Methods Agardilution were carried out to confirmed the drug-susceptibility,pulsed-field gel electrophoresis(PFGE)were performed to analyze the molecular epidcmiology of carbapenem-resistance isolates.Specific PCR,DNA sequencing,conjugation experiments,plasmids extraction,plasmid transformation assays and SDS-PAGE of outer membrane proteins(OMPs)were carried to confirm genotype of carbapenemase and its transmission mechanism.Results PFGE showed the isolates belonged to 10 clonotype,and all the clinical isolates were resistant to β-lactams including imipenem and meropenem,but uncertain to aminoglycosides,specific PCR and DNA sequencing revealed that all isolates encoded carbapenem-hydrolyzing enzyme gene,KPC-2.Plasmid DNA extraction and plasmid transformation assays from some isolates comfirmed that KPC-2 encoded on a 56 kb plasmid.SDS-PAGE analysis confirmed that there are alterations in OMPs of Escherichia coli.Conclusion Escherichia coli isolates with carbapenem resistance are collected from our hospital,production of KPC-2 carbapenemase mainly contributed to reduced susceptibility of carbapenem in Escherichia coli,the alterations in OMPs may as a cofactor in high-level drug-resistance in Escherichia coli.

Objective To compare PCR-SBT to IMS-ELISA in the HLA-B27 detection in the ankylosing spondylitis (AS)pa-tients.Methods Simultaneously,PCR-SBT and IMS-ELISA were used to detect the HLA-B27 expression in peripheral blood samples which were suspected patients with AS from 120 cases.Chisquare test of paired design and the area under curve of receiver operating characteristics of SPSS17.0 software were used to evaluate the value of PCR-SBT and IMS-ELISA in HLA-B27 detection of AS patients.Results Among 120 cases of suspected patients with AS,the positive rates of HLA-B27 detected by PCR-SBT and IMS-ELISA were 45.83%(55/120)and 37.50% (45/120),respectively.There was statistical difference between the two methods in the HLA-B27 detection (χ2 =59.455,P =0.000).The sensibility and spe-cificity of PCR-SBT were 96.36% and 96.92%,respectively.While the sensibility and the specificity of IMS-ELISA were 69.09% and 89.23%,respectively.Area under the curve of two methods were 0.966 and 0.792,respectively.Conclusion In comparison with IMS-ELISA,the sensibility and the specificity of PCR-SBT in HLA-B27 detection were higher in AS diag-nosis,that is to say,PCR-SBT is better in HLA-B27 detection and AS diagnosis.

Objective:To establish a method to determine the metabolites in rat kidney tissues by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) combined with chemometric techniques. Methods:Metabolites were separated and identiifed on HP-5MS column (30 m × 0.25 μm × 0.25 mm). The initial column temperature was 100℃lasting 3 min, and then programmed at 8℃/min to 300℃, maintaining at this temperature for 6 min. hTe internal standard was heptadecanoic acid. hTe grinded kidney tissue was exacted by methanol. hTe supernatant was dried by nitrogen. Atfer the oximation and derivation, the supernatant was analyzed by GC-MS. hTe overlapped peaks were resolved into pure chromatogram and mass spectra with chemometric techniques. Qualitative analysis was performed by comparing the obtained pure mass spectra with those in NIST mass spectra database and certiifcated by the standards and the references. hTe internal method was used for semi-quantitation. Results:A total of 53 compounds were identiifed. hTe main constitutions in the kidney tissue were amino acids, saccharides, fatty acids and urea. Conclusion:hTe combination of methods is rapid and accurate for the analysis of metabolites in the kidney tissue, which provides more information for further study of metabonomics in kidney tissues.
