Objective To explore the optimal storage standard of fresh human milk, and to observe the influence of different cold storage condition (time-temperature) on macronutrients (fat, protein, carbohydrates, TS and energy), immune sub-stances (sIgA, lactoferrin, IL-6, 8, 10 and TNF-α) and bacteria indicators of fresh human milk.Methods Fresh milk samples (n=30) were divided and stored at three temperature and nine time points, which are 4℃ (24 h, 48 h, 72 h), -18℃(72 h, 7 d, 14 d, 4 w, 8 w, 12 w), and -80℃ (12 w, 24 w). At each time point, the macronutrients , immune substance, and bacteria colony counts of each milk sample were measured and compared with fresh milk. Results Compared with fresh milk, all indicators with the exception of lactoferrin in stored human milk showed signiifcant difference (P<0.05). Under 4℃ refrigeration condition, fat, IL-6, and TNF-α decreased, bacteria colony counts and Gram-positive colony counts increased over 72 h storage (P<0.05). Under-18℃ freezing condition, fat, protein, TS, energy and IL-6 decreased from 72 h to 12 w storage (P<0.05); carbohydrates and sIgA also decreased from 4 w and 8 w storage, respectively (P<0.05). Under -80℃ freezing condition, fat, protein, TS, energy and IL-6 decreased over 24 W storage (P<0.05).Conclusions The macronutrients, immune substance, and bacteria indicators of human milk were affected obviously by cold storage. Refrigerated at 4℃ should not be longer than 72 h, -80℃ freezing condition should be chosen for more than two months storage.

Objective To investigate the molecular characteristic,the virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from pediatric patients.Methods Ninety-eight non-duplicate strains of and 49 non-duplicate strains of Methicillinsusceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) isolated from the three children's hospitals in Shanghai in 2008 were investigated.Panton-valentine leukocidin (PVL) gene was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).The genotypes of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) of the MRSA isolates were confirmed by multiplex PCR.The sequence type (ST) of each strain was determined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST),and the algorithm eBURST was used to identify groups of clonal complex (CC).The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of fourteen antibiotics for all isolates were determined by agar dilution method.Results Among 98 isolates of MRSA,the positive rate of PVL genes was 6.1% (6/98).In contrast,the positive rate of PVL genes was 4.1% (2/48) of the MSSA strains.Among 98 isolates of MRSA,4.1% (4/98),23.5% (23/98),53.0% (52/98) and 15.3% (15/98) of the strains harboured SCCmec types Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ,respectively. The remaining four isolates (4.1 %) presented a unique SCCmec pattern that could not be classified to any known types by the employed typing assays.Combining the ST and SCCmec type,the predominant clones were ST59-SCCmec Ⅳ (30 strains) and ST239-SCCmec Ⅲ (23 strains),followed by ST5-SCCmecⅣ and ST1-SCCmecⅣ (8 strains for each clone),ST239-SCCmec Ⅴ (6 strains),ST88-SCCmecⅤ (5 strains),ST5 SCCmecⅡ (4 strains),ST59-SCCmec Ⅴ (3 strains),ST8-SCCmecⅣ and ST88-SCCmecⅣ (2 strains for each clone),ST22-SCCmecⅣ,ST910-SCCmecⅣ and S45-SCCmec Ⅴ (1 strain for each clone),eBURST analysis distributed the MRSA isolates into several CC.ST8 and ST239 belonged to ST8 CC,ST1 belonged to ST15 CC,ST910 belonged to ST 30 CC,ST59,ST5,ST88,ST45,ST22,ST9 and ST7 were the origin of their own CC.The results of MIC showed that the 67 strains of MRSA harboring SCCmec type Ⅳ or SCCmec type Ⅴ were more susceptible to various non-β-lactam antibiotics than 27 strains of MRSA harboring SCCmec type Ⅱ or SCCmec type Ⅲ,and no vancomycin-resistant strain was found.Conclusions In three children's hospitals in Shanghai,the PVL gene-positive rate of MRSA isolates is relatively low,SCCmec type Ⅳ and SCCmec type Ⅴ could spread among hospitals to cause a small scale epidemic and have a variety of ST.

Objective To examine loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and microsatellite instability (MSI) of locus D8S532 on chromosome 8 and their influence on the expression of sFRP1 in the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCCs), which may provide an experimental evidence for clarifying the mechanism of sFRP1 gene and tumor development. Methods DNA was extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues. Polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and ordinary silver stain were used to study LOH and MSI of locus D8S532. Envision immunohistochemistry, Leica-Qwin computerized imaging system and Image-Pro PluS (IPP) version 4.5 professional imaging analysis software were used to assess the expression of sFRP1. Results The detection rates of LOH and MSI of locus D8S532 in the 36 specimens of HCC were 11.11% and 8.33% respectively. The down-regulation of sFRP1 was observed in 31 of 36 HCCs (86.11%) compared with non-carcinoma liver tissues, and the positive rate of sFRP1 protein of the HCCs was 52.78%( 19/36 ). The frequency of LOH was lower in the cases with positive expression of sFRP1 protein than those negative (0 vs 23.53%, P <0.05). Conclusion It was a common phenomenon that expression of sFRP1 protein is negative or low in Chinese with HCCs. The genetic instability of sFRP1 gene was one of causes, which lead to HCCs. LOH may play a major role in negative expression of sFRP1.

Objective:To preliminarily study the characteristics of ventricular synchronicity in patients of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) with different heart function.
Methods:Our research included in 2 groups:IPAH group, n=40 patients intermittently collected in our hospital from 2010-10 to 2014-12 and Control group, n=23 normal subjects from the same period of time. Tissue Doppler echocardiography was conducted to compare interventricular systolic and diastolic time to peak (Ts and Te), their differences (Te-Ts) and (Te-Ts) of left ventricle (LV), right ventricle (RV), interventricular septum (IVS) between 2 groups.
Results:Ts and Te of RV were longer than Ts and Te of LV and IVS in both groups, P<0.05. Compared with Control group, by heart function reducing, IPAH group showed different Ts and Te of LV and IVS, P<0.05 and Ts was gradually prolonged, Te was gradually shorter;while Te of RV became longer firs tand then became shorter thereafter. In IPAH group, the patients with heart function grade IV had the longer Ts of LV and IVS than those with heart functionII, III;the patients with heart function IV had the shorter Te of LV, RV and IVS than those with heart function II, III, all P<0.05. In IPAH group with different heart function, Te between RV-IVS and RV-LV were different from Control group, all P<0.05;Te between LV-IVS in heart function IV patients had the largest difference from Control group, P<0.05. Compared with Control group, IPAH group had gradually decreased Te-Ts of LV and IVS by heart function reducing asgrade II>III>IV, all differences had statistic meaning.
Conclusion:IPAH patients with different right heart function may have interventricular systolic and diastolic de-synchronicity;by reduced heart function, interventricular Te-Ts could be specifically shortened.
