1.Combined antimicrobial susceptibility test against pan-drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii with E-test and microdilution checkerboard assay
Chinese Journal of Microbiology and Immunology 2013;(2):144-147
Objective To evaluate the activity of antibiotics against pan-drug-resistant (PDR) Acinetobacter baumannii by combination antimicrobial susceptibility test in viro with epsilometric methods (Etest method) and microdilution checkerboard (CB method),and to detect a good correlation between timekill curve with the above mentioned two assays.Methods Thirty-one clinical isolates of PDR Acinetobacter baumannii were selected for mono and combination antimicrobial susceptibility test in vitro by E-test and CB method,then a comparison was conducted between the test results and the time-kill curve.Mono drugs involved tigecycline,colistin,imipenem and amikacin,and combinations involved two of drugs above,and three drugs involved imipenem/tigecycline,plus amikacin combination.Results Synergistic effect was detected in imipenem plus colistin and tigecycline plus imipenem combination.A high comparability was revealed between the E-test method with antimicrobial drugs added into the culture medium and the time-kill curves.Synergy in the combination of imipenem/tigecycline,plus amikacin was detected by the CB method and time-kill curves.Conclusion The results showed that the effect of specific combination of antibiotics against PDR Acinetobacter baumannii could be predicted by testing their synergistic effect with combination antimicrobial susceptibility test.

Clinical Medicine of China 2012;28(10):1101-1103
Objective To investigate the correlation of serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) with clinical pathological factors and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma ( HCC ).Methods Two hundred and twenty patients with HCC who hospitalized in our hospital from January 2007 to June 2009 were enrolled in this study.The relationship of AFP levels before operation to clinical pathological factors such as pathological grade,tumor size,tumor encapsulation,tumor numbers,portal vein tumor thrombus,TNM stage and postoperative recurrence were analyzed.Results Serum AFP concentration before operation were related with tumor size ( x2 =11.76,P < 0.05 ),tumor encapsulation ( x2 =17.07,P < 0.05 ),portal vein tumor thrombus ( x2 =8.944,P < 0.05 ),higher TNM stage ( x2 =4.929,P < 0.05 ) and early postoperative recurrence rate ( x2 =5.569,P < 0.05 ).However,it had no correlation with pathological edmondson grade tumor numbers.Conclusion HCC patients with high serum AFP concentration often has greater tumor without encapsulation,high occurrence rate of portal vein tumor thrombus and higher TNM stage,they are more likely to early postoperative recurrence.Serum AFP before operation is useful not only for diagnosis,but also as a prognostic biomarker to predict prognosis and recurrence.
3.Different activities of antimicrobial combinations against muitidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in vitro
Chinese Journal of Microbiology and Immunology 2011;31(10):898-902
Objective To evaluate the activities of 18 pairs of antimicrobials combinations against non - duplicate clinical isolates of multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB) in vitro.Methods Collect isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii from different patients from October 2009 to May 2010,which were isolated in Clinical Laboratory Center of Beijing Friendship Hospital,Capital Medical University.Use broth microdilution method to detect MIC of mono-antimicrobial,and checkerboard broth microdilution method to detect combinatied MIC,and calculate fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index to determine drug combinations effects.When the performance of the same drug combinations conflicted,appropriate strains were selected for screening of drug-resistant mechanisms by polymerase chain reaction( PCR),including efflux pump genes.Results In tests in vitro,rifampicin and polymyxin B,imipenem and gentamicin,cefepime and levofloxacin showed synergy at high proportion,68.1%,45.5%,40.9%,respectively.Minocycline and rifampicin,ampicillin/sulbactam and tobramycin.Ceftazidime and ciprofloxacin showed additive effect at high proportion,81.8%,68.2%,68.2%,respectively.There were several combinations which appeared the opposite effects to tested strains.Strains No.19 corresponding reaction was synergy and No.21,No.26 corresponding reactions were antagonism.The three strains above were selected for screening resistant mechanisms.The difference is that genotypes of adeS were negative in No.19 and positive in No.21 and No.26.Conclusion Rifampicin and polymyxin B combination showed synergy against the MDRAB in vitro,which can be considered as the treatment choice for critical infections caused by MDRAB.Imipenem and gentamicin,cefepime and levofloxacin also showed synergy in vitro,but in some isolates showed antagonism.This phenomenon may be due to the gene adeS activated by certain antibiotics,and the activated adeS drived efflux pump express or overexpress,which made the drugs in bacterial cells pumped out,causing antagonistic effect.The individual differences in strains should be considered when clinic strain apply these two combinations above.

5.A QUANTITATIVE METHOD FOR HESPERIDIN (VITAMIN P)DETERMINATION
Acta Nutrimenta Sinica 1956;0(01):-
Based on the cyanidine reaction, a quantitative electrocolorimetric method for the estimation of hesperidin is described. The main steps of the procedure are as follows:Extraction: The sample is washed successively with 95% alcohol and ether until the washings are free from yellow color when alkali is added. The washed sample is then extracted under re fluxing for 90 minutes with 50% alcohol (the best ratio between the sample and alcohol ia 1:100 by weight), filtered while hot, and the filtrates is kept at 70℃ until used.Color producing and comparison: Five ml of the above extract are added into a test tube containing 250 mg of magnesium powder. The tube thus prepared is placed into warm water of 15℃ and 2 ml of cone. HCl are added slowly (0.2 ml for every 2 minutes) with gentle shaking. After the addition of HC1 is completed, the content of the tube is shaken and incubated at 37℃ for 1 hour. The extract is then cooled, filtered and its optical density is determined. The error introduced by the colored sample solution is corrected by setting the optical density reading of the blank at zero before the reading of the unknown. The blank was prepared similarly as the unknown except that the reaction of magnesium powder with added HCl was completed before the addition of sample solution.The hesperidin content of the sample is determined by interpolation of the optical density values on a standard curve prepared by a series of gradient concentration of hesperidin.An amount of 0.025 mg hesperidin in 5 ml solution can be determined quantitatively by this method and the recovery was 97.1-100.3%.
6.RESEARCH INTO THE ACTION AND MECHANISM OF LARGE DOSE OF ViT.C ON COLD TOLERANCE AND ADAPTATION IN GUINEA PIGS
Acta Nutrimenta Sinica 1956;0(04):-
117 guinea pigs were divided into groups, receiving 1mg, 5mg, 50mg and 100mg Vit C per os daily respectively in 2-4 weeks. There were conducted four experiments: (1) the effect of different vitamin C levels on the cold tolerance and adaptation in guinea pigs; (2) effect of large dose of vitemin C on sudden and long time exposure to cold: (3) the action of vitamin C, in large dose and short time in combination with hormones, on cold tolerance of guinea pigs; (4) effect of large dose of vitamin C on the myocardial enzyme activity, during the process of cold adaptation. Rectal temperature, body weight, weight and vitamin C contents of adrenal glands, the excretion of urinary 17-Ketostero'ids, activity of myocardial succinic dehydrogenase and cytochrom C oxidase were observed. The results revealed that large dose of Vitamin C per os might lessen the lowering of rectal temperature and body weight after exposure to cold; promote the activities of myocardial enzymes. Better results were obtained with combination of vitamin C with cortisones. It was noted that large dose of vitamin C apparently increased and accelerated the tolerance and adaptation of organisms to cold.
