To determine the lysis spectrum of Yersinia enterocolitica bacteriophage phiYe-F10 and to analyze the relationship between the lysis ability of phiYe-F10 and the virulence gene of Yersinia enterocolitica. To observe the lysis ability of the phage phiYe-F10 to the different Yersinia strains with the double-layer technique. The strains used in this study including 213 of Yersinia enterocolitica and 36 of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and 1 of Yersinia pestis. The virulence genes of these Yersinia enterocolitica (attachment invasion locus (ail) and enterotoxin (ystA, ystB) and yersinia adhesin A (yadA), virulence factor (virF), specific gene for lipopolysaccharide O-side chain of serotype O : 3 (rfbc) were all detected. Among the 213 Yersinia enterocolitica, 84 strains were O : 3 serotype (78 strains with rfbc gene), 10 were serotype O : 5, 13 were serotype O : 8, 34 were serotype O : 9 and 72 were other serotypes. Of these, 77 were typical pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica harboring with virulence plasmid (ail+, ystA+, ystB-, yadA+, virF+), and 15 were pathogenic bacterial strains deficiency virulence plasmid (ail+, ystA+, ystB-, yadA-, virF-) and the rest 121 were non pathogenic genotype strains. PhiYe-F10 lysed the 71 serotype O : 3 Yersinia enterocolitica strains which were all carried with rfbc+, including 52 pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica, 19 nonpathogenic Y. enterocolitica. The phiYe-F10 can not lysed serotype O : 5, O : 9 and other serotype Y. enterocolitica, the lysis rate of serotype O : 3 was as high as 84.5%. The phiYe-F10 can not lysed Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Yersinia pestis. Yersinia phage phiYe-F10 is highly specific for serotype O : 3 Yersinia enterocolitic at 25 degrees C, which showed a typical narrow lysis spectrum. Phage phiYe-F10 can lysed much more pathogenic Y. enterocolitica than nonpathogenic Y. enterocolitica.

Objective To survey the knowledge requested by patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after stent implantation.Methods A survey on CAD and stent-related knowledge requested by CAD patients with stent implantation was conducted with a self-designed questionnaire from September 2013 to November 2013.Total 362 patients (235 males and 127 females) aged (67 ± 12) years participated in the survey in Yuetan Community Health Service Center and Fuxing Hospital in Beijing.Open questions and heuristic questions were used together during the survey.Results The knowledge requested by patients were:diet management(255,70.4％),side effects of medication(241,66.6％),management of physical activity (221,61.0％),prevention of CAD(181,50.0％),withdrawal of medication(176,48.6％),the life of stents (168,46.4％),post-operation check-up items (162,44.8％),the causes of CAD (156,43.1％)and drug mechanisms(134,37.0％).Patients with stent implantation less than one year requested more knowledge about the cause of CAD (x2 =37.4,P ＜ 0.001),life-time of stent (x2 =39.9,P ＜0.001),prevention of CAD (x2 =13.4,P =0.001),post-operation check-up items (x2 =21.2,P =0.001) and requested less knowledge about withdrawal of medication (x2 =9.56,P =0.008),diet management (x2 =6.49,P =0.04) than those with more than one year.Patients aged ＜ 70 years requested more knowledge about the cause of CAD (x2 =31.6,P ＜ 0.001),prevention of CAD (x2 =9.99,P =0.007),life-time of stent (x2 =79.1,P ＜ 0.001),side effects of medication (x2 =7.84,P =0.02) than patients aged ＞ 70 years.Patients with education higher than junior high school requested more knowledge about the cause of CAD (x2 =26.6,P ＜ 0.001),prevention of CAD (x2 =14.4,P =0.001) and life-time of stents (x2 =7.82,P =0.02) than those with education lower than junior high school.Patients with education higher than junior college requested more knowledge about the cause of CAD (x2 =26.6,P ＜ 0.001) and post-operation check-up items (x2 =10.7,P =0.005) than those with education lower than junior college.Conclusion Some factors affect the knowledge requested by patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after stent implantation,which should be considered in health education for CAD patients.

Objective To retrospectively evaluate the mammographic features of breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)and DCIS with small invasive foci,and to analyze the correlation between the mammographic findings and the prognostic biologic factors.Methods The mammographic examination was performed in 95 consecutive women with breast DCIS(n = 50)and DCIS with invasive foci(n = 45 ).The prognostic biologic factors including progesterone receptor(PR),C-erbB-2,and p53 were evaluated in 62 of 95 cases.Categorical data were expressed as percentages and analyzed by using the X~2 test,and furthermore the odds ratio was measured.Results(1)Only one abnormality was seen on mammography in 62 patients. Combined two abnormalities on mammography were seen in 26 patients.Mammograms were normal in 7 patients.(2)Calcifications with or without other abnormality were noted in 62 cases.Of them,73% (n =45)had higher probability of malignancy calcifications and the others were intermediate concern calcifications.Clustered calcifications(36 lesions)was the most common distribution,which usually accompanied by another abnormality.And then were segmental(18 lesions)distributed pattern.As far as the shape of mass (n = 22)was concerned,the oval shaped lesion(13 cases)was the most common,and the margin of the mass appeared as ill-defined in 15 eases,microlobulated in 1,circumscribed in 4,and obscured in 2,respectively.Isodensity mass had a higher frequency in this group(12/22,55%).Other non-calcification findings included architecture distortion(7 cases),local asymmetry (15 cases),global asymmetry (5 cases),and solitary dilated duct (3 cases),and most of them accompanied with other signs. (3)For expression profile of the biological factors,significant differences were found among malignant calcification group,intermediate concern calcification group,and non-calcification group. The odds of PR positive for the lesions noted as non-calcification were 11.00 times higher (X~2 =8.571 ,P=0.003 ;95% CI, 1.998—60.572)than the lesions noted as intermediate concern calcifications,and 8.80 times higher (X~2 = 9.748,P=0.002 ;95% CI,2.024—38.253)than the lesions noted as malignant calcifications.The odds of C-erbB-2 positive for the lesions showed as malignant calcifications were 12.35 times higher (X~2=7.353, P=0.007 ;95% CI,1.447—105.443)than the lesions showed as non-calcification,and 5.74 times higher (X~2=4.977,P = 0.026;95% CI,1.110—29.645)than the lesions showed as intermediate concern calcifications.Conclusion The mammographic features of DCIS and DCIS with small invasive foci were characteristic.Mammographic findings could be a prognostic markers,which could provide a possibility for making a treatment plan.

OBJECTIVETo study the therapeutic efficacy of 48-week telbivudine treatment on cirrhosis resulting from chronic hepatitis B.

METHODS80 patients were equally divided into two groups, and treated with telbivudine 600 mg or lamivudine 100mg once daily for 48 weeks, respectively. The changes of virological and biochemical markers, PTA, Child-Pugh score, and viral resistance were observed at the different time points after antiviral treatment.

RESULTSThe mean of serum HBV DNA level in telbivudine group before treatment was (6.52+/-1.33) log10 copies/ml, and the mean reduction of serum HBV DNA was (2.09+/-1.30), (2.83+/-1.22), (3.23+/-1.27), (3.42+/-1.32), (3.65+/-1.30), (3.67+/-1.43) log10 copies/ml at 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 weeks, respectively. The proportion of patients with serum HBV DNA undetectable was 92.5% (37/40) at 24, 48 weeks. At week 24 and 48, the rates of HBeAg/anti-HBe seroconversion were 30.0% (6/20), 35.0% (7/20), respectively. ALT, AST, albumin, total bilirubin, PTA, and Child-Pugh score were improved (P less than 0.05). Mutation of YMDD observed in telbivudine group was 5.0%. The mean reduction of serum HBV-DNA and the proportion of patients with undetectable serum HBV-DNA were greater in telbivudine group than in lamivudine group (P less than 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSTelbivudine can rapidly and effectively inhibit the replication of HBV in patients with cirrhosis resulting from chronic hepatitis B, and the resistance mutation rate was low. In addition, telbivudine treatment can improve the liver function.

Objective To investigate the expression of CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane (CMTM)domain-containing family in clear cell renal cell carcinoma(ccRCC)and its significance.Methods Seventy-five samples of ccRCC were collected,including 50 males and 25 females,mean age (59 ± 10)years.There were 34 cases in clinical stage Ⅰ,23 cases in stage Ⅱ,14 cases in stage Ⅲ and 4 cases in stage Ⅳ.The pathological differentiation was 3 cases of grade Ⅰ,1 case of grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ,35 cases of grade Ⅱ,10 cases of grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ,18 cases of grade Ⅲ,3 cases of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ and 5 cases of grade Ⅳ.The expression of CMTM3 and CMTM5 proteins in 75 cases of ccRCC and corresponding adjacent normal kidney tissues was detected by tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry.Results The positive expression rate of CMTM3 and CMTM5 was 98.7％,97.3％ in the adjacent normal kidney tissues,and 44.0％,68.0％ in ccRCC tissues(P ＜ 0.05).The expression of CMTM3 and CMTM5 had no correlation with the gender,age,clinical staging and pathological differentiation(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion CMTM3 and CMTM5 could be ccRCC suppressor genes,and their mutation or methylation might be an early event in the carcinogenesis of ccRCC,thus promise them to be potential biomarkers in early diagnosis.

Objective To summarize the experiences in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairing for adult patients. Methods Clinical data of 512 hernia cases admitted in our center from March 2007 to Sep 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 437 cases of single-sided hernia,including 281 indirect inguinal hernia,86 direct inguinal hernia,15 femoral hernia,16 combined inguinal hernia and 39 recurrent hernia.There were also 75 cases of double-sided inguinal hernia,including 3 recurrent hernia.There were 41 acute incarcerated hernia cases.The average postoperative follow up time was(29 ± 12) months. Results 507 cases underwent successful laparoscopic repair,and 5 cases were converted to open procedure.There were 238 TAPP and 269 TEP in laparoscopic operations.The average operative time for TAPP was (69 ±19) min,and (58 ±15) min for TEP.The average length of postoperative stay was (5.0 ± 1.5) days.The percentage of resuming normal activity after 2 weeks and 4 weeks were 95.7％ (485/507) and 99.0％(502/507).The most common postoperative complications were seroma (9.7％,49/507),transient paresthesia (4.1％,21/507) and chronic pain (0.8％,4/507).The recurrence rate was 0.6％ (3/507).Conclusions Laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia has the advantage of less trauma,faster recovery,and lower recurrence rate.

Objective To observe whether appropriate intermittent exercise at the ischemic threshold can safely promote collateral circulation in an ischemic area of the myocardium through the increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and its receptor fetal liver kinase-1(Fik-1). Methods A balloon constrictor was surgically implanted in the first obtuse marginal coronary artery(OM1)of miniature pigs.The subjects were divided into 3 groups:a sham-operation group,a pure ischemia group,and an exercise training group.Subjects in the exercise training group performed individualized treadmill programs 30 min daily,5 d per week,for 8 weeks,including 2 two-minute episodes of exercise-induced ischemia.Two pre-exercise episodes of pure ischemia induced by brief OM1 occlusion were also conducted.Only pure ischemia was induced in the pure ischemia group,and the sham-operation group remained sedentary for the experimental period.Relative myocardial blood flow(RMBF)was measured using microspheres.VEGF and Flk-1 expression levels were measured by Western blotting and real time RT-PCR analyses.Cardiac troponin I(ctnI)levels were determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Light and electron microscopy were employed to examine myocardia damage in the ischemic area.Results RMBFs in the exercise training group were significantly higher than those in the pure ischemia and sham-operation groups. RMBFs in the pure ischemia group were significantly higher than those in the sham-operation group.The expression of VEGF and Flk-1 proteins and mRNAs in the exercise training group were significantly higher than those in the pure ischemia and sham-operation groups,and the levels in the pure ischemia group were also significantly higher than those in the sham-operation group.After training,no myocardial damage and no ctnI increase was observed in the pure ischemia group.Microscopy revealed no obvious structural changes. Conclusion Intermittent exercise at the isehemia threshold intension can safely promote coronary collateral formation through upregulation of VEGF and Flk-1 expression in the ischemic myocardial area of a porcine model.
