Objective To investigate the genotypes and encoding resistance genes differences of Acinetobacter baumannii and analyze their interrelations with multi-drug resistance.Methods A total of 77strains Acinetobacter baumannii were collected random from the second Xiangya Hospital during September 2008 to September 2009.The K-B method which was WHO recommended was adopted to Acinetobacter baumannii drug sensitivity test to 15 kinds of antibiotics to establish susceptibility spectrum.At the same time,random amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD)technique was used to establish DNA fingerprinting.The genes of β-lactamase(TEM-1,IMP,OXA-23,OXA-24,AmpC),aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes[aac(3')-Ⅰ ,aac(6')-Ⅰ ,ant(3")-Ⅰ]and 16S rRNA methylase(armA,rmtA,rmtB)were detected by PCR and sequenced,and find the relationship between the gene encoding and multi-drug resistance.In addition,we compared the rates of resistance genes of Acinetobacter baumannii and the relations with the genotype and the multi-resistance.Results Thirty-one sensitive strains and 46 multi-drug resistance strains(10 Pan-drug resistances)were isolated.Seventeen types from A to Q were separated using RAPD technique.E genotype widely popular in the ICU was the advantage type in multi-drug resistance strains,and the rate was 47.1%.While the various types scattered in sensitive strains.The positive rates of TEM-1,IMP,OXA-23,OXA-24,AmpC,aac(3')-Ⅰ ,aac(6')-Ⅰ ,ant(3")-Ⅰ ,armA in the multi-drug resistance strains and the sensitive strains were 95.7%,39.1%,84.8% ,54.3%,87.0%,89.1%,84.8%,45.7%,63.0% and 58.1%,9.7%,32.3%,48.4%,48.4%,29.0%,45.2%,12.9%,9.7%,respectively,and there was significant difference except for OXA-24 using the X2 test(P < 0.05).All isolates were negative for rmtA gene and rmtB gene.Drug susceptibility analysis showed that the resistant rate was significantly higher of the strains carrying resistant genes than that of the resistance negative strains.When the strains were resistant to gentamicin and amikacin,the rate of three aminoglycoside genes positive was 34.8%.The trains containing all the measured β-lactamase genes were all resistant strains.Conclusion Compared with the sensitive Acinetobacter baumannii strains,a broad resistance spectrum and a high drug resistance rate were showed in multidrug resistance strains isolated from clinic,which harboring many kinds of β-lactamase genes and aminoglycosides genes with a high separation rate,and the same clone of multiple drug-resistant strains may be transmitted in and among wards.

This study was aimed to analyze the bioinformatics of proteomics of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) intervened by active principle region of Yang-Xin Tong-Mai Formula (apr-YTF). The latest versions of bioinformatics tools including DAVID (http://david.abcc.ncifcrf.gov/) and GO (http://www.geneontology.org/) were combined to assign a precise function to rat bone marrow MSCs intervened by apr-YTF. KEGG and VISANT were assigned with a precise function to rat bone marrow MSCs intervened by apr-YTF. The results showed that a total of 102 biological processes were mainly involved, with 35 cellular components and 6 molecular functions. These proteins interacted in 3 signal transduction pathways. It was concluded that the following proteins and signal transduction pathways played an important role in the process of apr-YTF inducing BMSCs differentiation into cardiomyocytes. Presenilin-1 and Presenilin-2 were in the Notch signaling pathway. And syntaxin-4 protein was in soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive fusion protein attachment protein (SNARE). The apr-YTF played a role on MSCs from multiple sites, with multiple links through different biological processes. The bioinformatics of proteomics can predict action mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) from the holism concept. The validation in combination with molecularbiology was a good way for TCM modernization.

Objective:To analyze the MRI features of medulloblastoma (MB) in children, and screen out the key signs that can predict the risk of MB before surgery.Methods:Clinical and radiological data of 62 children with MB confirmed by pathology in Shenzhen Children′s Hospital from December 2012 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the diagnosis and treatment guidelines for children with MB (2021 edition), the patients were divided into standard risk group (43 cases) and high risk group (19 cases). MRI features of MB were observed and recorded, including tumor site, location of tumor center, tumor morphology, signal intensity of T 1WI, T 2WI and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), enhancement pattern, cystic lesion size, location and number, peritumoral edema and hydrocephalus, and the maximum diameter of tumor was measured. The χ 2 test or Fisher exact probability method was used to compare the differences in age, gender and MRI signs between the two groups. The t test of two independent samples was used to compare the differences in the maximum diameter of tumors between the two groups. The indicators with statistically significant differences were included in binary logistic regression analysis to obtain independent influencing factors associated with the risk groups. The receiver operation characteristic curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy. Results:There were significant differences in age ( P=0.026), enhancement pattern ( P=0.018), cystic lesion size ( P=0.005), location ( P=0.011) and number ( P=0.003) between standard risk group and high risk group. There were no significant differences in gender, tumor site, location of tumor center, tumor morphology, signal intensity of T 1WI, T 2WI and DWI, peritumoral edema, hydrocephalus and maximum diameter of tumor between the two groups ( P>0.05). Binary logistic regression results showed the age (OR=0.207, 95%CI 0.040-0.983, P=0.042) and the number of cystic lesions (OR=0.215, 95%CI 0.073-0.630, P=0.005) were the protective factors for MB in high risk group, the enhancement pattern Ⅲ (OR=5.226, 95%CI 1.516-52.920, P=0.048) was the dangerous factor for MB in high risk group. The area under the curve of the combined diagnosis of high risk MB was 0.845 (95%CI 0.741-0.949). Conclusions:The age and MRI signs the pattern of tumor enhancement Ⅲ and the number of cystic lesion can be used to predict the risk grouping of MB preoperatively. When the child is younger and MB enhancement pattern is mainly peripheral enhancement without obvious cystic change, it may indicate high risk MB.

The aim of this study is to explore the application and advantages of combined intrathecal and extrathecal hypothermic plasma tonsillectomy in reducing intraoperative and postoperative hemorrhage in OSA children. We retrospectively reviewed 726 cases who were diagnosed as OSA. All patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical method: 320 cases by total tonsillectomy and 406 cases by combined extracapsular and intracapsular tonsillectomy. The intro operative bleeding volume, post operative haemorrhage data as time, location and degree in the two groups were compared. There was no statistical difference in the intro operative bleeding volume in the two groups [(9.3±4.6) mL]vs [(7.6±3.5) mL], =12.687, =0.235. Two patients who underwent combined extracapsular and intracapsular tonsillectomy presented with post operative haemorrhage, the total post operative haemorrhage rate was significantly decreased that in the total tonsillectomy group(14 cases)(χ²=10.779, =0.001). The 2 patients in combined extracapsular and intracapsular tonsillectomy group were secondary haemorrhage, with location in the upper pole and medium, grade A haemorrhage; while in the 14 cases in in the total tonsillectomy group, there were 2 cases presented with primary haemorrhage and 12 cases with secondary haemorrhage; with regard to location of haemorrhage, 1 in the upper pole, 2 in the medium, 11 in the lower pole; 5 cases presented with grade A haemorrhage, 8 with grade B haemorrhage and 1 with grade C haemorrhage. The haemorrhage rate at 7 days after surgery (χ²=5.697, =0.017), at the lower pole(χ²=11.961, =0.001) and grade B(χ²=8.097, =0.004) were all significantly decreases in the combined extracapsular and intracapsular tonsillectomy group. Plasma tonsillectomy combined with intrathecal and extrathecal hypothermic tonsillectomy is a safe and effective method, which has obvious advantages in reducing the postoperative hemorrhage, especially the secondary hemorrhage of Subtonsillar Pole.
