OBJECTIVE: To investigate the classification, structure and inducing drug resistance of integron in 59 strains of cefoxitin-resistant Escherichia coli. METHODS: PCR method was used to detect integrase gene (intI) and product of variable region of positive strain was performed on sequencing. Sensitiveness of experimental strains to 22 kinds of antibiotics was detected with microdilution method. RESULTS: IntI1 was identified in 45 strains (76%) of the 59 strains Escherichia coli. The most drug resistance genes cassettes were aadA5 and dfr17,only 2 strains encoding ?-lactamase drug resistance gene cassettes. The MIC of integron positive groups was statistically significantly higher than negative groups. CONCLUSION: Class 1 integron resided in cefoxitin-resistant Escherichia coli widely. The cause of drug resistance of integron positive strain to aminoglycosides, sulfonamides and chloramphenicol is drug resistance gene cassettes. Gene cassettes does not play important role in integron-mediated drug resistance.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the classification,structure and integron-mediated AmpC enzyme gene transfer of integron in 25 strains of AmpC enzymeproducing Escherichia coli. METHODS:Sensitivity of test strains to 20 kinds of antibiotics was tested by microdilution method. PCR and sequencing were performed on test strains to identify integrase gene(intI)and its location,the product of variable region of positive integrons(Int)respectively. RESULTS:Class ⅠintI were indentified in 20 strains (80%)of 25 strains Escherichia coli. The most drug resistance box cassettes were aadA5 and dfr17 and integory encoding AmpC gene cassette was not observed. CONCLUSION:Class Ⅰ integron resided in AmpC enzyme-producing Escherichia coli widely. The cause of drug resistance of integorn to aminoglycosides,sulfonamides,chloramphenicol is drug resistance gene cassette. Gene cassette does not play important role in integron-mediated antibiotic resistant gene transformation.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of outer membrane protein on drug resistance of 59 strains of cefoxitin-resistant Escherichia coli.METHODS:PCR method was performed on test strains to identify OmpF gene.The outer membrane protein(OMP) profiles were studied by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE).Sensitivity of 20 kinds of antibiotics to test strains was tested by Microdilution.RESULTS:Among 59 strains of Escherichia coli,OmpF gene were positive in 29 strains(49%),of which 20 strains were among 25 strains which produced AmpC enzyme.30 OmpF gene-negative strains had not occurred OmpF protein bands,of which 13 strains missed OmpC protein bands simultaneously.Among 29 strains of OmpF gene-positive bacteria,4 stains missed OmpF protein bands.59 strains were all resistant to many types of antibiotics.CONCLUSION:Deletion of OmpF gene and protein is the main reason for non-AmpC enzyme production strains resistant to cefoxitin.Porin loss bring about primarily cefoxitin-resistant property but little impact on other antibiotics.

Objective To study the location of mycobacterium tuberculosis(MTB) and whether the cellular immunity is induced after immunization of H37Ra in mice.Methods Totally 72 BALB/C mice were included.Thirty mice were intracutaneously injected of 0.1 ml H37Ra solution(about 10~(6) bacteria) at caudal region;thirty mice were injected of BCG of same quantity instead;twelve were free from immunization as control.Viable MTB were detected in spleen and lungs on day 15,30 and 60 after intracutaneous vaccination of H37Ra.The proliferation of T lymphocytes stimulated with purified protein derivative(PPD) was measured by MTT assay and the production of interleukin-2(IL-2) and soluble interleukin-2 receptor(sIL-2R) in the cultural supernatants of T lymphocytes was also determined by ELISA on day 30 and 60 after intracutaneous vaccination of H37Ra.Results Viable H37Ra or BCG could be located in the spleen and lungs in mice for at least 60 d.After H37Ra immunization,the stimulation index(SI) of T lymphocyte proliferation on day 30 and 60 was(2.81?0.63),(2.16?0.52) respectively,which was of no significant difference with that of BCG immunization,but of significant difference with that of non-immunized mice(P

Objective To investigate the application effects of ultrasonic scalpel combined with bipolar coag-ulation tweezers on open thyroid surgery.Methods 80 cases of thyroidectomy patients were randomly selected.These patients were divided into two groups by random cluster sampling method,whch were the study group (n =40)and control group (n =40).The control group of patients were given ultracision ligature methods combined with traditional therapy,while the study group of patients were given ultrasonic scalpel combined with bipolar coagulation tweezers treatment.And then the surgical related indicators and complications of the two groups of patients were statistically an-alyzed.Results Compared with the control group of (90.5 ±3.6)min,(6.5 ±0.6)d,(40.5 ±2.0)mL,(50.3 ± 1.4)mL and (6.6 ±0.5)cm,the operative time and length of stay of the study group of patients[(58.5 ±5.4)min and (3.4 ±0.2)d]were significantly shorter (t =6.965,3.143,all P <0.05);the blood loss and postoperative drainage of (5.0 ±1.4)mL and (1.0 ±0.6)mL were significantly less (t =4.541,3.747,all P <0.05);the cut diameter of (3.8 ±0.3)cm was significantly shorter (t =3.365,P <0.05);the complication rate of 2.5% (1 /40) was significantly lower than the control group 10.0%(4 /40)(χ2 =9.35,P <0.05).Conclusion The application effects of ultrasonic scalpel combined with bipolar coagulation tweezers on open thyroid surgery are obvious.

There are a lot of feasibility studies, using sentinel lymph node biopsy SLNB instead of Alex lymph node dissection (ALND), having got a conseusus that SLNB is a safe and useful method in the treatment of breast cancer. But in clinical practice, there are much false negative rate (FNR) which need to be carefully dealt with for SLNB. In order to diminish the FNR, how many nodes should be the perfect number to lower the FNR? If positive detection was found in the SLN, should ALND always be needed? And when micro metastasis was found in the post operation HE staining? Does it need further treatment? We make a review to discuss those matters.

Objective To assess the impact of radiation on superior epigastric vessel pedicled transverse rectus abdominal myocutaneous (TRAM) for breast reconstruction.Methods Female breast cancer patients were divided into 4 groups:group A (immediate breast reconstruction + radiation therapy,123 cases),group B (immediate breast reconstruction,262 cases),group C (radiation therapy + delayed breast reconstruction,34 cases),group D (delayed breast reconstruction,53 cases) from June 2009 to June 2012 at Department of Breast Oncology,Tianjin Medical University.Patient demographics,operative details,radiation therapy details,postoperative complications,patient-centered evaluation of aesthetic and psychological outcomes were assessed.Results The average follow-up duration was 24.98 ± 6.99 months.2.5％ patients developed delayed wound healing postoperatively.Fat necrosis and flap contracture were seen in 7.0％ and 3.6％ of all patients,respectively.Irradiated patients had a significant statistical difference in cancer staging,involved lymph nodes,tissue invasion and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (P ＜ 0.05).No significant statistical differences were observed in post-operative early complications,but in advanced stage complications.There was no significantly statistical difference in breast aesthetic outcome before and after radiation therapy within four groups.Conclusions For breast reconstruction patients,those without postoperative radiotherapy were suggested immediate breast reconstruction,and those with postoperative radiotherapy were proposed to accomplish breast reconstruction after postoperative radiotherapy.
