ObjectivesTo identified the strain 1012 from the National Center of Clinical Laboratory of China for microbe inter-laboratory quality assessment in 2010, and study the taxonomic status of strain 1012 and related species in the genus Actinomyces. Methods The bacterial traditional morphological characteristics, commercial API systems, and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis were applied to identify the problematic culture of strain 1012. The phylogenetic tree based on the remote information of the prokaryotes systems was constructed to study the taxonomic status and evolutionary relationship of the genus Actinomyces and related species in the family Actinomycetaceae. Results Strain 1012 was determined as a kind of facuhative anaerobic,non-spot-forming,Gram-positive coryneformbacteria,which was identifiedto Actinomyces turicensis for the phenotypic biochemical characteristics of more than 60 items, The comparative study of 16S rRNA gene showed the strain 1012 with 99. 8% similarities to Actinomyces turicensis, but only 90. 6% to the type species of Actinomyces bovis in the genus Actinomyces. However, the comparative study of 16S rRNA gene showed the strain 1012 with only 90. 6% homology to the type species of Actinomyces bovis in the genus Actinomyces. Further phylogenetic analysis showed that nine independent clusters were grouped in the family Actinomycetaceae, of which four clusters were separately represented the genera Varibaculum,Mobiluncus, Actinobaculum and Arcanobacterium, while other five clusters all were designated to the genus Actinomyces. The study showed strain 1012 was located in genus Ⅲ of Actinomyces, yet with a relatively long genetic distance to Actinomyces bovis. ConclusionThe genus Actinomyces may be reclassified as one genus Actinomyces sensu stricto and several new genera for the genotypic characteristics.

Objective To explore the expression of Livin and Beclin1 in epithelial ovarian cancer and their relations with tumor invasion and metastasis. Methods A total of 65 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer who were admitted and treated in our hospital and Jilin University Affiliated Hospital, plus 15 blocks of normal ovarian tissue samples were selected. Excised ovarian tissues were tested via immunohistochemistry to test the protein expression of Livin and Beclin1, and their relations with tissue differentiation of ovarian cancer, lymphatic metastasis and clinical staging were analyzed. Results Positive rate of expression of Livin, rare expression in normal ovarian tissues (6.7%), and the highest expression rate in tissues of ovarian cancer (68.6%);Positive rate of expression of Beclin1,the highest expression rate in normal ovarian tissues (93.3%) and the lowest in tissues of ovarian cancer (37.1%). Tissue differentiation of ovarian cancer, lymphatic metastasis and clinical staging were interrelated with the expression degree of Livin and Beclin1 (P<0.05). Conclusion Expression of Livin and Beclin1 in epithelial ovarian cancer and tumor invasion and metastasis plays an important role and may become a new target in the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Objective To analyze the senile lying-in woman whose psychological characteristics and the effect of psychological nursing intervention. Methods Senile women prenatal and childbirth in our hospital were selected as the research objects, who were respectively given routine nursing and corresponding psychological nursing intervention,the differences of the second labor,delivery methods,perinatal negative emotion score of senile lying-in women of two groups,and so on were compared. Results The second labor time (34.82±14.31)min of senile lying-in women of observation group, oxytocin utilization rate (6.25%), prenatal negative emotions scores of HAMD (15.14±1.35),HAMA(13.34±1.11),postpartum negative emotions scores HAMD(12.53±1.64),HAMA(11.41±1.09) were all obviously lower than those of control group.The rate of vaginal delivery (79.69%) was significantly higher than that of control group(P<0.05). Conclusion Pertinent psychological nursing can effectively shorten the labor time of women and raise the rate of vaginal delivery,effectively relieve the perinatal negative emotion.

7.Advances in the study of occult malignant tumor-related pyogenic liver abscesses in the digestive system
Chinese Journal of Hepatology 2021;29(3):275-278
Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) accompanied by occult malignant tumors is a rare kind of life-threatening disease. Studies have shown that it can predict the occurrence of cancer, especially hepatobiliary and colorectal cancer. The risk of combined occult primary liver cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, and gastrointestinal cancer is high in PLA patients. Malignant tumor-related PLA lacks specific symptoms and signs. The iodine concentration ratio between the energy spectrum CT lesions and normal liver tissue is of certain value in the differentiation of liver cancer and liver abscess. Computed tomography colonography has a dual role. It can screen patients with PLA for occult colorectal cancer and determine the treatment response of abscess lesions. Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli is the main microorganism of PLA related to colorectal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. PLA treatment related to hepatobiliary malignant tumor has high complications and mortality, and poor prognosis. Most occult colorectal cancers are in the early stage, and their early detection and prognosis are better than those of PLA patients combined with hepatobiliary malignancies.
