Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 2004;0(10):-
OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.METHODS All specimens isolated and cultured from patients in our hospital were identified by using the automatic microorganism analyzer WalkAway-40,Dade Behring made in America,and bacteria′s drug susceptibility test and identifications were performed on strains using NC21 Microscan Panel.RESULTS From sixty-two strains of P.aeruginosa 36 strains were isolated of sputum.The resistance rate to the third generation of cephalosporins cefotaxime and ceftriaxone was 55.6% and 47.5%,respectively.The resistance rate to the other ?-lactamases antibiotics such as ceftazidime was 7.5%,piperacillin/tazobactam 11.0%,cefepime 14.8% and penicillin was 30.0%,the ratio of resistance for imipenem was 20.0%,the lowest one was amikacin(4.6%).CONCLUSIONS P.aeruginosa is one of the main bacteria in the lower respiratory tract infection.The drug-resistant mechanism of P.aeruginosa is very complex,including multidrug resistance characteristics,and it is originally resistant to several antibiotics.To avoid being produced ?-lactamases and result in resisting drug widely,the antibiotics should be selected according to low drug-resistant rate and taking into account sufficiently its drug resistance mechanism in the treatment of P.aeruginosa infection.

Objective To investigate the association of AcrAB-tolC efflux pump and marA-soxS-rob regulon with ciprofloxacin-resistance in Shigella flexneri isolates.Methods Forty five strains of Shigella flexneri were isolated in stool samples collected from outpatient diarrhea clinics in Tianjin from 2009 to 2013.The antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria was analyzed by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method.Ten ciprofloxacin-resistant Shigella flexneri isolates and 10 ciprofloxacin-sensitive isolates were randomly selected.The gyrA and parC genes,plasmid mediated quinolone resistant (PMQR) determinants,efflux pump genes (acrA,acrB) and regulation genes (marA,soxS,rob) were screened and sequenced.Minimum inhibition concentrations (MICs) of the strains were determined before and after efflux pump inhibitor carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) was added.The expression of acrA,acrB,marA,soxS and rob genes in ciprofloxacin-resistant and ciprofloxacin-sensitive strains was detected by realtime fluorescence quantitative RCR (RT-PCR),and the differences of expression were evaluated using t test.Results Both gyrA and parC mutations were detected in all ciprofloxacin-resistant strains; qnrS1 was positive in ciprofloxacin-resistant strain CR2 and aac(6')-Ib-cr was positive in ciprofloxacin-resistant strain CR5.Efflux pump genes and regulation genes were not detected in ciprofloxacin-sensitive strains,while soxRS mutation was detected in all ciprofloxacin-resistant strains except CR10.MICs of quinolones in ciprofloxacin-resistant strains decreased to one-fourth or one-eighth when CCCP added,while not changed or only decreased to one-half in ciprofloxacin-sensitive strains.Expressions of acrA,acrB,marA and soxS were significantly higher in ciprofloxacin-resistant strains than those in ciprofloxacin-sensitive strains (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).Conclusion Efflux pump may involve in the high-level ciprofloxacin resistance in Shigella flexneri through activating transcription of efflux pump genes by marA-soxS-rob regulon,in which soxRS mutation may play an important role.

Objective To investigate the effect of levodopa on melanogenesis in Penicillium mameffei (PM),and to determine if melanization affects the antifungal drug susceptibility of PM.Methods A clinical isolate of PM,GXMU121011,was inoculated onto Sabouraud's dextrose agar (SDA) containing different concentrations (0.1-10 mmol/L) of levodopa at an inoculum density of 1.0 × 106 cfu/ml,or onto SDA containing 1 mmol/L levodopa at three inoculum densities (1.0 × 105,1.0 × 106,1.0 × 107 cfu/ml),and cultured at 37 ℃ for 7 days.Subsequently,melanization of PM colonies was observed.The paper-disk method was used for antifungal susceptibility testing,and the diameter of inhibition zones of itraconazole,fluconazole and amphotericin B against 8 clinical strains of PM was determined on SDA with or without levodopa.Results The melanization of PM colonies increased when the concentration of levodopa increased from 0.1 to 1.0 mmol/L,peaked when that reached 1.0 and 3.0 mmol/L,but mildly decreased when that continuously increased beyond 3.0 mmol/L,and a slight shrinkage was observed in PM colonies when that was 10.0 mmol/L.The color of colonies deepened along with the increase in inoculum density of PM.The average diameters of inhibition zones of itraconazole,fluconazole and amphotericin B against PM were all significantly lower on SDA with levodopa than on SDA without levodopa (all P < 0.05).Conclusions Levodopa concentration and inoculum density both affect melanogenesis in PM.Melanization may decrease the susceptibility of PM in yeast phase to itraconazole,fluconazole and amphotericin B in vitro.

Journal of International Pharmaceutical Research 2016;43(4):768-773
Objective: Under the methodology of differential proteomics and bioinformatics, the impact of the exogenous gene on the expression of rice in the proteome is discussed, aiming to explore into the study of genetically modified rice in the proteomics. Methods: The total protein was extracted from genetically modified rice Huahui No.1(HH1) and non-transgenic rice Minghui 63(MH63), the method of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was applied to generate corresponding proteome two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel(2D-PAGE) electrophoresis spectrum; then, the mass spectrometry and bioinformatics analysis were conducted after the selection of protein spots with significant differences. Results: The comparing and matching of protein spots between transgenic Bt(cry1Ab/1Ac) rice and non-transgenic rice 2D-PAGE profiles identified 28 protein spots with significant differences. With non-transgenic rice as a reference, transgenic Bt rice held 18 relatively high and 10 relatively low expressions; mass spectrometry and bioinformatics retrieval were made on the different protein spots. It was found that the differentiated protein was mainly involved in energy metabolism, protein synthesis, redox stress response and other biological processes. Conclusion: Differences exist between transgenic Bt HH1 and its parental rice MH63 on the expression of proteome; however, there are neither anti-nutritional and allergenic protein, nor new or toxic proteins among these differentiated proteins.

OBJECTIVETo investigate diagnostic efficacy of transvaginal three-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (3D-HyCoSy) in assessing tubal patency with chromolaporoscopy.
METHODSA total of 157 infertile women underwent 3D-HyCoSy to evaluate tubal patency. Among these patients, 39 patients were also examined by chromolaporoscopy. The concordance of the two clinical assessment methods was analyzed by the Kappa coefficient test.
RESULTSAmong the 306 oviducts examined by 3D-HyCoSy, 99 (32.4%) were patent, 126 (41.2%) partially obstructed, and 81 (26.5%) completely obstructed. Diagnostic results with 3D-HyCoSy were not statistically different from those obtained in the 39 women (78 oviducts) who also underwent chromolaporoscopy, and the two methods showed a high concordance (k=0.747, P=0.000). The 3D-HyCoSy procedure had a sensitivity of 84.8% (28/33), a specificity of 96.2% (25/26), and positive and negative predictive values of 93.3% (28/30) and 86.2% (25/29) respectively.
CONCLUSIONTransvaginal 3D-HyCoSy can accurately reveal the spatial path and morphology of the oviduct and is a safe and effective method to evaluate tubal patency.
