OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and the drug resistance changes of the pathogenic bacteria isolated from the blood culture specimens collected during the period of 2006-2008.METHODS Blood culture of patients in our hospital was performed by BacT/Alert 240 and the isolated bacteria were identified by API and Microscan and tested for drug resistance against antimicrobial agent by K-B method.A retrospective analysis was made to the blood culture results during the period of 2006-2008 with WHONET 5.4 software.RESULTS Gram-negative rods were the predominant bacteria which caused sepsicemia.The isolated rates of Escherichia coli took the first place during the period of 2006-2008.Klebsiella pneumoniae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus(SAU) were also the most important pathogens which caused blood infection.The infection rate of coagulase negative staphylococcus(CNS) and P.aeruginosa had increasing tendency.Imipenem and meropenem were the most effective antibiotics(100%) to E.coli and K.pneumoniae.Then amikacin and cefoxitin also had high susceptibility to E.coli and K.pneumoniae.Furthermore,drug susceptibility in 2008 was higher than that of two years before.All antibacterials had low drug susceptibility to P.aeruginosa,and its drug resistance rate rised obviously.The drug resistance situation of Acinetobacter baumannii was serious.Except imipenem and meropenem had relatively higher susceptibility(20-69.2%),the susceptibility to other antibacterials was lower than 41.7%.Vancomycin,teicoplanin and quinupristin/dalfopristin were the most effective antibiotics to(SAU).CONCLUSIONS The species and drug resistance of the bacteria isolated from blood specimens have changed.More attention should be paid to the detection and surveillance of bacterial resistance in blood culture to promote the rational use of antibiotics.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and resistance of non-fermenting bacteria isolated from our hospital and offer the basis for the treatment of bacterial infection.METHODS Totally 2177 strains of non-fermenting bacteria were isolated from clinical sputum samples between Jan 2006 and Dec 2008.All of the isolated bacteria were identified with API identified test(API Inc,France) and Kirby-Bauer(K-B) test used for the antibiotics susceptive test.RESULTS From them the most common bacteria were Pseudomonas auruginosa(34.9%),followed by Acinetobacter baumannii(28.4%) and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia(11.4%).These bacteria had various resistances to the tested antibiotics.CONCLUSIONS Non-fermenting bacteria have high isolate rate and multi-antibiotic resistance,so antibiotics should be correctly used under the guidance of antibiotic susceptibility test.

Objective To investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of BARD 1 gene and BRCA1 gene in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).Methods Nineteen EOC patients with BRCA1 gene mutation and 50 EOC cases without BRCA1 gene mutation between January 2016 and October 2016 were collected,and all EOC were diagnosed by pathological method.BARD1 gene variants were detected by next generation sequencing (NGS).The SNP of BARD1 gene was analyzed by Pearson linear correlation.Logistic regression analysis was used to research the clinicopathologic features and BRCA1 gene mutation associated with BARD1 gene SNP.Pearson's chi-square test was used to analyze the association between BARD1 gene Val507Met,Arg378Ser and Pro24Ser with different clinicopathologic features and BRCA1 gene mutation risk.Results (1) Eight BARD1 gene variants were found in 69 ovarian cancer patients,in which Val507Met,Arg378Ser and Pro24Ser were common variants,and the rate of mutation were all 54％ (37/69).(2) There was a significant linear correlation among Val507Met,Arg378Ser and Pro24Ser (all P＜0.01).(3) Obvious differences were found in Val507Met,Arg378Ser and Pro24Ser of BARD1 gene between BRCA1+ and BRCA1 (all P＜0.05).(4) No differences were found between BARD1 gene Val507Met,Arg378Ser and Pro24Ser and the clinicopathologic features (all P＞0.05),while obvious differences were found in BRCA1 gene mutation compared to the controls group.The risk of BRCA1 mutation in Val507Met and Arg378Ser were more evident in subjects with negative family history,positive menopause history,negative tubal ligation,onset age (≤60 years old) and sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy in EOC (all P＜0.05),while Pro24Ser was only more evident in positive menopause history of EOC (P＜0.05).Conclusions BARD1 Val507Met,Arg378Ser and Pro24Ser are the common genotypes,which are associated with BRCA1 mutation in EOC.The family history,menopause history,tubal ligation,onset age and sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy have effects on BARD1 SNP in the risk of BRCA1 gene mutation.

Objective To investigate the mutations of BRCA genes in sporadic high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) and study its clinical significance. Methods Sixty-eight patients between January 2015 and January 2016 from the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University were collected who were based on pathological diagnosis of ovarian cancer and had no reported family history, and all patients firstly hospitalized were untreated in other hospitals before. (1)The BRCA genes were detected by next-generation sequencing (NGS) method. (2)The serum tumor markers included carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA125, CA199, and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) were detected by the chemiluminescence methods, and their correlation was analyzed by Pearson linear correlation. Descriptive statistics and comparisons were performed using two-tailed t-tests, Pearson′s chi square test, Fisher′s exact tests or logistic regression analysis as appropriate to research the clinicopathologic features associated with BRCA mutations, including age, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics(FIGO)stage, platinum-based chemotherapy sensitivity, distant metastases, serum tumor markers (STM). Results (1) Fifteen cases (22%, 15/68) BRCA mutations were identified (BRCA1: 11 cases; BRCA2: 4 cases), and four novel mutations were observed. (2) The levels of CEA, CA199, and HE4 were lower in BRCA mutations compared to that in control group, while no significant differences were found (P>0.05), but the level of CA125 was much higher in BRCA mutation group than that in controls (t=-3.536,P=0.003). Further linear regression analysis found that there was a significant linear correlation between CA125 and HE4 group (r=0.494,P<0.01), and the same correlation as CEA and CA199 group (r=0.897,P<0.01). (3) Single factor analysis showed that no significant differences were observed in onset age, FIGO stage, distant metastasis, and STM between BRCA+and BRCA- group (P>0.05), while significant differences were found in CA125 and sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy between the patients with BRCA mutation and wild type (P<0.05). The multiple factors analysis showed that the high level of CA125 was a independent risk factor of BRCA mutations in sporadic HGSOC (P=0.007). Conclusion The combination of CA125 with BRCA have great clinical significance, the mutation of BRCA gene could guild the clinical chemotherapy regiments.

The α-synuclein, the main component of Lewy bodies, is closely related to Parkinson's disease (PD) development. Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation has shown a remarkable prospect in PD treatment, and indirect regulation of abnormal α-synuclein-related microenvironment is a key part of its neuroprotective mechanism, but the specific mechanism is extremely complex and remains unclear. We briefly discuss the roles of mesenchymal stem cells in regulating the abnormal α-synuclein related microenvironment by enhancing α-synuclein autophagy, increasing hydrolysis of α-Syn aggregates, and inhibiting α-synuclein intercellular transmission, to help in mesenchymal stem cell transplantation for PD treatment.

As a novel,label-free and non-invasive detection modality,terahertz(THz,1THz=1012 Hz)spectroscopy has been widely used in various areas.For instance,in the biomedical field,it has great potentials to provide real-time scanning of living cells and tissues due to its unique advantages.Significant achievements have been reached in cell detection, related to bacterial identification, cancer cell characterization and blood cell detection.In tissue detection, the THz spectroscopy can be used to provide real-time scanning of living tissues and fast diagnosis.Furthermore, a single system which integrated THz spectroscopy and THz imaging would be able to collect information more sensitive and comprehensive. However,the clinical adaption of THz spectroscopy is still a controversial issue attributed to some intrinsic limitations and technical bottlenecks.In this article, both the application of THz spectroscopy in cell and tissue detection and the existing challenges and strategies to accelerate clinical applications were reviewed comprehensively.

In order to screen potential mRNA locations of P gene in which targeting siRNAs can effectively inhibit HBV expression, 5 recombinant plasmids containing 4 targeting-specific siRNA fragments and a control were prepared and transfected into 2.2.15 cells respectively. The expression levels of HBx mRNA, HBs mRNA and HBc mRNA were detected by RT-PCR. The concentrations of the hepatitis B virus antigens, including HBsAg and HBeAg harvested from the culture supernatant of transfected 2.2.15 cells, were measured by ELISA. X protein was tested by Western blot. The results showed that four siRNAs against distinct mRNA locations of HBV polymerse gene had different inhibitory effects on their targeted mRNA. The plasmid-derived psiRNAl and psiRNA2 could effectively inhibit the transcription and translation of HBs gene, whereas the inhibitory efficiency of psiRNA3, psiRNA4 for HBe gene was much higher than that of psiRNA1 and psiRNA2. In comparison to the rest of psiRNAs in this study, psiRNA4 was the most effective to suppress the transcription and translation of HBx. It is suggested that siRNA can be considered as a powerful therapeutic agent for reducing HBV expression. The siRNAs against HBV polymerase are effective largely depending on the location of targeted sites. To enhance inhibitory efficiency, hunting for high effective target in polymerase gene is necessary and feasible.
