Abstract: Objective To analyze the phenotype and drug resistance of Robinsoniella peoriensis strains isolated from the blood of patients with prostate cancer and to learn the epidemiological characteristics of the strains. Methods Culture medium growth characteristics analysis, Gram staining, VITEK MS mass spectrometry identification, in vitro drug susceptibility test, 16S rRNA gene sequencing were performed on the strains, and case summary analysis, historical drug sensitivity results comparison and phylogenetic tree construction were carried out. Results Four of the repeatability tests of mass spectrometry identification were R. peoriensis, and the identification accuracy was 99.9%, which was the first time that mass spectrometry analysis in China accurately detected this strain. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing confirmed that the strain was R. peoriensis, and GenBank accession number is OL826796. There are currently 18 cases of R. peoriensis related to human infection in the world, mainly including bloodstream infection, prosthetic joint infection, and postoperative wound infection. The homology of OL826796 in this case with HGUE-09/943 (GU322806.1) isolated in Spanish was 99.58%; in vitro drug susceptibility showed that OL826796 was resistant to penicillin and clindamycin, and sensitive to vancomycin, imipenem, tetracycline and metronidazole. Statistical analysis of drug susceptibility of 18 cases found that R. peoriensis could be tested for drug susceptibility by E-test method: penicillin 100% (7/7), clindamycin 70% (7/10), ampenem 0% (0/4), metronidazole 0% (0/9), meropenem 0% (0/4), vancomycin 0% (0/3). Conclusion R. peoriensis is a rare anaerobic-positive bacillus. When sterile site infection occurs, attention should be paid to timely communication with clinical reports, and penicillin and clindamycin should be used cautiously to fight infection, so as to improve the cure rate of postoperative immunocompromised patients.

Objective To investigate the changes of calcium /calmodulin - dependent protein kinase Ⅱ (CAMKⅡD) gene expression in 3T3 - L1 preadipocyte diffe-rentiation and TNF - ? regulation of CAMKⅡD gene expression on matured adipocytes. Methods 3T3 - L1 preadipocytes were cultured and differentiated into adipocytes. The levels of CAMKⅡD gene mRNA expression at various times were evaluated by RT-PCR. Matured adipocytes were interfered with 0.1,1.0,10.0 ?g/L TNF - ? and the levels of CAMKⅡD gene mRNA expression were evaluated. Results The levels of CAMKⅡD gene mRNA expression in 3T3 - L1 adipocytes were significantly down- regulated at first day, compared with those at zero day (P0. 05). CAMKⅡD gene mRNA expression decreased significantly at 12 hours after treatment with 10.0 ?g/L TNF-?, treatment of matured adipocytes with TNF - ? did not have any regulation role on it. Conclusions CAMKⅡD gene is involved in the differentiation of adipocytes and related to the etiology of obesity. The changes in the level of CAMKⅡD gene mRNA expression during 3T3 - L1 preadipocyte differentiation may contribute to the differentiation and adipogenesis of adipocytes. It seems that TNF - ? does not have any regulation role on the expression of CAMKⅡD genes.

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.
