OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the rational clinical prophylactic use of antibiotics. METHODS:The cases in whom the clinical prophylactic use of antibiotics between 2006 and 2007 in our hospital showed failure in efficacy were monitored to analyze the cause of failure,meanwhile the clinical samples were sent for culture,isolation,identification and drug susceptibility tests as well as drug resistance analysis. RESULTS:Cephalosporins,Quinolones,Penicillins,Cefhalosporins + enzyme inhibitor were more commonly used antibiotics in our hospital,with drug resistance rates at 57.21%,65.14%,68.63%,and 18.81% respectively. Among the total 240 cases monitored,the prophylactic use of antibiotics totaled 877 times,of which,388 (44.24%) were non-indicated drug use,459 (52.34%) showed drug resistance,286 (32.61%) involved improper drug choice,and 42 (17.50%) showed dual infection. CONCLUSION:The clinical prophylactic use of antibiotics in our hospital is far from perfect; therefore,it is urgent to tighten control on the standard prophylactic use of antibiotics.

Objective To study the role of protective antigen(PA)and N-terminal segment of lethal factor (LFn)in the entrance of EGFP(enhanced green fluorescent protein)into HeLa cells. Methods The DNA fragments encoding LFn and EGFP were amplified,respectively,and cloned into the plasmid pET-21 a(+)one after another to construct a recombinant plasmid pET-LFn-EGFP. The plasmid was txansformed into BL21 cells to express LFn-EGFP protein under the induction of IPTG. The protein was purified by Ni chelating chromatography. After incubation with LFn-EGFP in the presence of PA or not, the HeLa cells were analyzed by flow cytometry or laser confocal microscopy. Results The fusion protein LFn-EGFP was purified by over 90% homogeneity and retained the ability of LF to bind with PA when incubated with J774A.1 macrophage cells,and could get into HeLa cells. Conclusion The LFn-EGFP could enter the HeLa cells in a PA independent pathway. But PA could help more LFn-EGFP molecules enter into HeLa cells.

Objective To investigate the correlation between XRCC1 R280H,XRCCl TSS+29C/T genetic polymorphisma and susceptibility to non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Methods The MassARRAY method was applied to detect the DNA repair gene XRCC1 genetic polymorphisms in 73 cases of NHL and 540 cases of normal healthy controls. Chi-square test was performed to calculate the adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results For XRCCl R280H genotypes, there was a significant difference between frequencies of the G and A among patients and controls (P=0.001). However, XRCCl TSS+29C/T genotypes had no statistical difference as for the T and C frequencies between patients and controls (P = 0.383). The frequency of XRCCI R280H with at least one A genotype was lower in the NHL cases than in controls, indicating a decreased risk for NHL development (OR=0.309, 95 % CI =0.168-0.567), comparing with GG genotype. In XRCC1 TSS+29C/T genotypes, the frequeney of TC and CC genotype was higher in NHL cases than in controls and associated with an increased risk of NHL development (P=0.472, OR =1.262, 95 % CI =0.669-2.379). Conclusion DNA repair XRCCl gene possesses significant correlation with NHL.

Objective To evaluate the value of intra-cavitary contrast-enhanced ultrasound (IC-CEUS) via abdomen in fistulas difficult to diagnose before operation.Methods Clinical data of 12 patients with preoperative clinical suspicion of Crohn's Disease (CD) complications of fistula were enrolled in the study.Colonoscopy,cystoscope,or CT/MR has not confirmed the diagnosis of intra abdominal fistulas.IC-CEUS were performed by locally-injection of contrast agent in abdominal abscess,observing fistula and the relationship with the adjacent organs in CEUS mode.Diagnostic criteria were surgical findings.Results Fistulas in 10 patients were detected by IC-CEUS,including 7 cases of Ileo-mesenteric fistuls,2 cases of il eo-vesical fistulas,and 1 case of colo-vesical fistula.The accuracy rate of IC-CEUS in diagnosis of fistulas difficult to diagnose before operation in Crohn's disease was 83.3％ (10/12).No severe adverse events occurred during and after IC-CEUS procedure.Conclusions Our preliminary study shows that IC-CEUS is feasible in detecting abdominal fistula with high accuracy.It might be used as the alternative imaging tech nique for detecting fistulas when CT and MR are insufficient.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression and significance of miRNA-324-3p and its target gene WNT2B in tissue specimens of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) specimens. METHOD: qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of miRNA-324-3p and WNT2B mRNA, and Western blot was applied to assay the expression of WNT2B protein in 39 cases of NPC specimens and 21 cases of non-carcinoma epithelium. The relationship between their expression levels and clinicopathological characteristics and their correlation with clinical pathological parameters was analyzed. RESULT: The expression of miRNA-324-3p was significantly down-regulated decreased but WNT2B mRNA/protein increased obviously in NPC specimens (P < 0.01). A negative correlation between miRNA-324-3p and WNT2B was spotted (P < 0.05). The expression levels of these markers were closely correlated with T stage, clinic stage and cervical lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The loss of miRNA-324-3p and ectopic WNT2B might co-induce the initiation and progression of NPC.
