Objective To construct the mice pneumonia model with imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and provide experimental model in anti-pan-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii therapy study. Methods A total number of 120 4-week-old BALB/C male mice were randomly selected and divided into three groups including micro-intratracheal injection, ultrasonic atomizing and nasal dripping. The mice were treated with methotrexate to induce hypo-immunity in every group. These BALB/C mice of normal immunity and hypo-immunity were infected through Imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii by microintratracheal injection, ultrasonic atomizing and nasal dripping, respectively. The morbidity, mortality,bacterial clearance rate and histopathology in lung were determined. Results The morbidities of BALB/C mice with hypo-immunity infected by micro-intratracheal injection and ultrasonic atomizing achieved 100%(30/30), while the mortalities were 100% (10/10) and 33.3% (3/10), respectively. Mice in two groups above displayed the influx of neutrophils, lymphocytes and macrophages in the peri-bronchial and alveolar interstitial space 12-24 h after pulmonary infection. In addtion, the mice in micro-intratracheal injection group displayed coUapse of partial alveolar walls, formation of abscesses and bacterial colonies in alveoli. While the lung pathology in mice of ultrasonic atomizing group was characterized by cell degeneration in some regions in the lungs, slight relaxation, congestion in alveolar wall vessels and normal of bronchial and alveolar tissue 24 h after inoculation. Degeneration in peri-tracheal and peri-bronchial areas was observed 24-48 h after inoculation, along with highly expanded pulmonary blood vessels and edems. The inflammation was reduced at 48 hours. There was no obvious pulmonary infection in BALB/C mice with hypo-immunity by nasal dripping with mortality of 0% (0/10) and no significant histopathologic change in lungs. Conclusions BALB/C mice with hypo-immunity pneumonia model with Imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii can be conducted by micro-intratracheal injection or ultrasonic atomizing, but the latter has the advantages of high-productivity, easy-operation, low-cost, time-saving and usefulness. Mice with normal immunity are not susceptible to imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.

Objective: To investigate the expression of HSPC238 in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer.Methods:We collected 76 cases of cervical cancer,105 cases of CIN and 28 cases of normal cervical epithelial.Then we inves-tigated the expression of HSPC238 by using immunohistochemistry and compared the significant differences between them.Results:There was no significant difference in the expression of HSPC238 between the cervical cancer and normal cervical epithelial ( Z=-0.242,P>0.05).However,there was significant difference between the cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and normal cervical epithelial (χ2=19.159,P<0.01) and the expression of HSPC238 was correlated with the grades of CIN.The expression of HSPC238 decreased when the grade of CIN was increasing.( rs=-0.327,P<0.01 ).Conclusion:The low expression of HSPC238 might be correlated with the development of cervical neoplasia.

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 evaluate hepatitis B virus large surfsce protein(LHBs) in monitoring of antiviral treatment.Methods LHBs.HBV serum markers and HBV DNA loads in 46 patients with adefovir dipivoxil(ADV) therapy were monitored for the whole course(60 weeks).Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),time differentiate immunofluoresence assay and real.time polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)were performed to detect LHBs,HBV serum markers and HBV DNA loads,respectively.And correlation analysis was also performed.Results Both LHBs and HBV DNA declined during the ADV treatment.and the correlation coefficient was 0.97.but LHBs declined after HBV DNA.There were 20 patients with HBV DNA<5×102/mL at 60th week.in which 8 were LHBs negative;in 14 recurrent patients,the HBV DNA turned to negative and became positive again,3 with negative LHBs;while in 12 patients resistant to the ADV therapy.2 were LHBs negative.Conclusion Dynamic monitoring of LHBs is useful in the evaluation of antiviral treatment.

To analysis the treatment effectiveness of maxillofacial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) by means of temporary balloon block and percutaneous puncture sclerotherapy. The treatment outcomes of 20 patients with AVM of maxillofacial deformity, aged (26.8±3.0) 18-36 years, from Dec 2012 to Dec 2019 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. All patients had been diagnosed AVM by digital substraction angiography (DSA). All the cases were treated by using balloons to temporary block responsible artery of the AVM in order to change the high-flow malformations into low-flow venous malformation. Then injection of polyethylene foam cinnamyl alcohol was conducted via percutaneous puncturing for hardening the vascular malformation. Comparing the symptoms and imaging changes before treatment with those 1-6 months after treatment according to Achauer curative effect evaluation standard. Totally 60% (12/20) of the cases were type Ⅱa AVM, and their treatments were effective. However, the treatment effects of type Ⅲb and type Ⅳ patients were relatively poor. The clinical effective rate was 85% (17/20), and the clinical curative rate was 50% (10/20). No skin necrosis, organ damage and other serious complications were observed for the 20 patients. The AVM patients with a main supply artery treated by using a balloon artery temporary block to make high flow malformations into low-flow and followed by percutaneous puncture sclerotherapy, could get good curative effect. It seemed that this approach was safe and effective.

BACKGROUND:The guinea pig is considered to be the most useful spontaneous model for evaluating primary osteoarthritis in humans because of its similar knee joint structure and close histopathologic features to those of humans. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the pathological process of spontaneous knee osteoarthritis in guinea pigs by analyzing the histopathology of the total knee joint of guinea pigs aged 1 to 18 months. METHODS:Eight healthy female Hartley guinea pigs in each age group of 1,6,10,14,16,and 18 months old were selected.The quadriceps femoris was taken for hematoxylin-eosin staining,and the total knee joint was stained with hematoxylin-eosin and toluidine blue.The histopathology of the cartilage,subchondral bone,synovium,meniscus,and muscles were observed under light microscope.Mankin's score and synovitis score were compared,and the correlation analysis was conducted. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:As the guinea pig age increased,the Mankin's score increased(P<0.05),and the pathological score of synovitis also gradually increased(P<0.05),and there was a significant positive correlation between the two(r=0.641,P<0.001).The incidence rate of subchondral bone marrow lesion in 18-month-old guinea pigs was 50%,and the incidence of meniscus injury was 37.5%.In addition,osteophyte and narrowing of the joint space were observed,and only a few guinea pigs had inflammation in the quadriceps femoris.To conclude,guinea pigs develop significant cartilage defects,synovial inflammation,subchondral bone lesions,meniscus injury,osteophyte formation,and joint space narrowing as they age,all of which are similar to the pathological processes of primary knee osteoarthritis in humans,making it an ideal model of spontaneous knee osteoarthritis.

Objective To investigate the application value of Braun anastomosis in pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods The retrospective cohort study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 389patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy in the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from March 2012 to July 2014 were collected.Of 389 patients,235 receiving Braun anastomosis and 154 receiving non-Braun anastomosis were respectively allocated into Braun anastomosis group and non-Braun anastomosis group.All the patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy with digestive tract reconstruction using Child method.Patients in the Braun anastomosis group received 5-10 cm Braun anastomosis between input and output end of jejunum,and patients in the non-Braun anastomosis group didn't receive jejunum-jejunum Braun anastomosis after gastrojejunostomy.Observation indicators included:(1) intraoperative situations;(2) postoperative recovery;(3) follow-up.Patients were followed up using outpatient examination and telephone interview up to May 2015.Follow-up included monthly routine blood retest,hepatorenal function retest and urine and stool routine retest,and enhanced CT scan in the epigastric region for every three months to detect recovery of digestive tract function.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as x±s.Comparison between groups was analyzed using t test,and count data were analyzed using chi-square test.Results (1) Intraoperative situations:389 patients underwent successful pancreaticoduodenectomy.Standard pancreaticoduodenectomy and pyloric-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy were respectively applied to 205 and 30 patients in the Braun anastomosis group and 137 and 17 patients in the non-Braun anastomosis group,with no statistically significant difference (x2=0.259,P＞0.05).Anastomosis and reconstruction of pancreatic stump:anastomosis of main pancreatic duct and jejunal mucosa,embedded anastomosis of papillary main pancreatic duct and pancreas-stomach anastomosis were detected in 138,89,8 patients in the Braun anastomosis group and 85,60,9 patients in the non-Braun anastomosis group,respectively,with no statistically significant difference (x2 =1.535,P＞ 0.05).Total operation time,pancreasjejunum anastomosis time and volume of intraoperative blood loss were (398.9 ± 61.9) minutes,(20.6 ±3.5) minutes,(401 ± 59) mL in the Braun anastomosis group and (401.3± 59.2) minutes,(20.7± 2.1) minutes,(407± 159)mL in the non-Braun anastomosis group,respectively,with no statistically significant difference (t =-0.380,-0.562,-0.319,P＞0.05).(2) Postoperative recovery:time to initial anal exsufflation,time for fluid diet intake and time of drainage tube removal were (103 ± 28) hours,(77± 25) hours,(12 ± 5) days in the Braun anastomosis group and (102 ± 31) hours,(79 ± 30) hours,(13 ± 6) days in the non-Braun anastomosis group,respectively,with no statistically significant difference (t =0.330,-0.712,-1.783,P＞0.05).Delayed gastric emptying,gastrointestinal hemorrhage,obstruction of afferent loop and pancreatic fistula were detected in 25,3,0,30 patients in the Braun anastomosis group and 27,4,2,23 patients in the non-Braun anastomosis group,respectively,with no statistically significant difference (x2=3.818,0.918,3.068,0.695,P＞0.05).Seventeen patients were combined with delayed gastric emptying and pancreatic fistula,including 8 in the Braun anastomosis group and 9 in the non-Braun anastomosis group,with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (x2=1.363,P＞0.05).Patients with postoperative complications were improved by symptomatic and supporting treatment.Duration of hospital stay and treatment expenses were (14±7) days,(73 205±4 538)yuan in the Braun anastomosis group and (22± 11) days,(83 219±5 738) yuan in the non-Braun anastomosis group,with statistically significant differences between the 2 groups (t=-8.767,-19.139,P＜0.05).(3) Follow-up:389 patients were followed up for 6 months,without death.Six and 9 patients in the Braun anastomosis group and non-Braun anastomosis group had regurgitation cholangitis.There was no readmission due to gastrointestinal hemorrhage and digestive tract obstruction,and no signs of hyperglycaemia and intractable diarrhea occurred.Conclusion Braun anastomosis can reduce duration of postoperative hospital stay and treatment expenses.
