OBJECTIVE To investigate macrolide resistance and main molecular mechanisms in Mycoplasma pneumoniae. METHODS Thirty two throat swabs from children infected with M. pneumoniae were cultured by modified Hayflick medium. Antibiotic susceptibility test was used to screen the macrolide-resistant M. pneumoniae. The 23S rRNA gene sequences of the strains were determined with polymerase chain reaction and sequencing. RESULTS Nineteen strains were isolated from 32 throat swabs successfully.Fifteen strains were resistant to macrolide antibiotics according to the results of antibiotic susceptibility test. Once the strain was resistant to one of macrolide antibiotics,it would be resistant to the others. Sequencing results of the sensitive strains and the standard strain FH were completely same. Fifteen resistant strains presented A2063G point mutation in 23 SrRNA region Ⅴ, in which 2 examples showed the coexistence of the sensitive strain and the resistant strain. CONCLUSIONS Macrolide-resistant M. pneumoniae is common and serious at present. The antibiotic resistant isolate carries point mutations of the 23S rRNA region Ⅴ.

Objective:To investigate the incidence and related risk factors of refeeding syndrome (RFS) in patients with severe stroke.Methods:Patients with severe stroke admitted to the Department of Neurology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University underwent nutritional treatment again after fasting between December 2017 and October 2022 were included retrospectively. The incidence of RFS in patients with severe stroke was summarized. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the independent risk factors for RFS. A restricted cubic spline model was used to explore the dose-response relationship between relevant indicators and RFS. Results:A total of 188 patients were included, including 108 males and 80 females, with a median age of 72 years (interquartile range, 63-77 years); 185 patients (98.4%) had ischemic stroke and 3 (1.6%) had cerebral hemorrhage; 59 (31.4%) received enteral nutrition, 36 (19.1%) received gastrointestinal decompression, 30 (16.0%) received mechanical ventilation; and 60 patients (31.9%) developed RFS. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that serum creatinine (odds ratio [ OR] 1.011, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.001-1.020; P=0.025), serum potassium ( OR 8.349, 95% CI 3.025-23.039; P<0.001), serum phosphorus ( OR 46.578, 95% CI 6.444-336.661; P<0.001) and diabetes ( OR 2.173, 95% CI 1.087-4.345; P=0.028) were the independent risk factors for the occurrence of RFS. The restricted cubic spline model analysis showed that there was a non-linear relationship between serum creatinine and RFS, and the increased risk of RFS showed an "S" shape with the increase of serum creatinine. When serum creatinine exceeded 70.68 μmoI/L, the risk of RFS continued to increase. There was no non-linear relationship between serum phosphorus and serum potassium and RFS. Conclusions:Serum creatinine, serum phosphorus, serum potassium and diabetes are the independent risk factors for RFS in patients with severe stroke. These risk factors should be utilized to identify the high-risk patients with RFS early and the targeted measures should be taken as soon as possible.

OBJECTIVETo determine the genotype of a family affected with oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) and to provide genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis.

METHODSTo determine the genotypes and mutational sites through PCR and sequencing for all exons and exon-intron junctions of 4 OCA genes in the proband and the P gene of her parents. Prenatal genotyping of the fetus was carried out using amniocentesis sample.

RESULTSThe patient was diagnosed with OCA2 based on a genotype of c.1327G>A/c.2360C>T. Her father was heterozygous for c.2360C> T, whilst her mother has none of the two mutations. c.1327G>A is therefore a maternal de novo mutation. Neither of the mutations was found in the fetus.

CONCLUSIONA maternally inherited de novo mutation c.1327G>A has been identified in the patient. In order to detect de novo mutations, full sequence analysis is necessary.

Objective To explore the molecular mechanism of Yishen Huoxue prescription in delaying the development of renal fibrosis by regulating the microRNA-126/vascular endothelial growth factor-Notch (miR-126/VEGF-Notch) signaling pathway. Methods Ninety male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (sham group), unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) model group, losartan group (50 mg·kg-1·d-1) and high, medium and low doses Yishen Huoxue prescription group (25.2, 12.6, 6.3 mL/kg). Each treatment group began to administer drugs by gavage on the day when UUO modeling was finished until the end of the experiment. Left renal tissues of rats were harvested after 7, 14 and 21 days postoperatively. The pathological changes of renal tissue were observed after hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and Masson staining under the microscope, and the renal fibrosis score was calculated. The mRNA expressions of renal tissues miR-126, VEGFA, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2), Notch1 were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results① Pathology results: the kidney tissue of sham group was normal. In UUO model group, renal tubules expanded and inflammatory cells in renal interstitium increased; renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis could be seen 7 days after operation, and the degree of fibrosis was gradually increased with time. The renal fibrosis score at each time point after operation in UUO model group was significantly higher than that in sham group. Compared with UUO model group, each treatment group were improved the degree of renal swelling and atrophy of renal parenchyma; the score of renal fibrosis were significantly decreased in the middle and high doses Yishen Huoxue prescription group and losartan group at the 7th day after operation (1.00±1.00, 0.91±0.58, 1.01±0.58 vs. 2.00±0.00,all P < 0.01); but there was no significant difference between low dose Yishen Huoxue prescription group and UUO model group. ② RT-PCR results: Compared with sham group, the mRNA expressions of miR-126, VEGFA, VEGFR-2 and Notch1 in renal tissues were significantly increased at each time point after operation in UUO model group. Compared with the UUO model group, the mRNA expressions of miR-126, VEGFA, VEGFR-2 and Notch1 in renal tissue of 7 days postoperatively in the middle and high doses Yishen Huoxue prescription group and the losartan group were significantly increased [miR-126(2-ΔΔCt):0.465±0.067, 0.639±0.092, 0.404±0.069 vs. 0.132±0.021; VEGFA(2-ΔΔCt): 0.024±0.005, 0.027±0.007, 0.023±0.006 vs. 0.014±0.006; VEGFR-2(2-ΔΔCt):0.021±0.007, 0.023±0.008, 0.019±0.007 vs. 0.012±0.004; Notch1(2-ΔΔCt):0.017±0.004, 0.020±0.005, 0.018±0.005 vs. 0.007±0.004; all P < 0.05]; compared with the losartan group, the mRNA expressions of each index in the middle and high doses Yishen Huoxue prescription group were increased at all the time points, but there was no significant difference between them (all P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in mRNA expression of each index between low dose Yishen Huoxue prescription group and UUO model group. Conclusions The medium and high doses of Yishen Huoxue prescription can effectively antagonize renal fibrosis. Yishen Huoxue prescription may use up-regulation the signaling pathways of miR-126/VEGF-Notch to mediate renal microvascular newly born, eventually to improve renal microvascular damage and delay the development of renal fibrosis progression.
