OBJECTIVE To develop a rapid method for simultaneously identifying Staphylococcus aureus(SA) and its resistance against meticillin. METHODS The target strains authenicated to Staphylococcus by traditional methods(appearance,Gram-stain,catalase) first,then using Slidex~staph.plus to authenticate SA;establishing traditional method or coagulase test and ATB-ID32STAPH system for verification.The penicillin-binding protein 2a(PBP2a) was examined by Slidex MRSA Detection,establishing resistance oxacillin sieving test and mecA gene was examined by PCR for verification. RESULTS The 135 strains were positive and 321 strains were negative for Slidex~staph.plus from 456 strains.The 127 S.aureus strains and eight others were confirmed from 135 positive strains finally,11 SA strains and 310 other strains were confirmed from 321 negative strains,there were 92.0% for sensitivity and 97.5% for specificity in this method.The 52 strains PBP2a positively confirmed to meticillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA) using Slidex MRSA Detection and 57 MRSA strains were confirmed using resistance oxacillin sieving test or PCR from 138 strains.There were 91.2% for sensitivity and 100% for specifity in this method. CONCLUSIONS The duplex Slidex~-staph monoclonal antibody examinated to SA and confirmed to MRSA has higher sensitivity and specificity.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of laparoscopic surgery for intestinal atresia in neonates.Methods A perspective study,from February 2002 to November 2006,a series of 61 newborns with intestinal atresia were randomly divided into laparoscopic and open surgery groups.The intra-and post-operative records of the two groups were compared.Results The survival rate and postoperative complications of the two groups were similar (29/31 vs 28/30,x~2=0.001,P=0.973;and x~2=1.298,P= 0.862).In the laparoscopic group,the intestine was pulled out through the umbilical trocar and then resected;the umbilical area was normal after intestinal anastomosis;no scars or only small scars were observed on the abdomen after the operation.The two groups were followed up for 6 to 18 months.During the period,3 patients showed enterocolitis (2 in the laparoscopic group and 1 in the open surgery group);3 patients developed adhesive intestinal obstruction (1 in the laparoscopic group and 2 in the open surgery group), both the complications were cured by conservative therapies.Conclusions Laparoscopic surgery is simple,safe,and effective for intestinal atresia in newborn.

Objective To explore a suitable mode of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of fetal malformations with early neonatal surgical treatment. Methods Nine fetus with surgical malformations diagnosed prenatally by ultrasound in our hospital from Mar. 1998 to Dec. 2000 were analysed. Results There were two cases diagnosed in the second trimester, 7 in the third trimester, including 1 duodeneal atresia with annular pancreas, 1 abdominal wall defect, 1 congenital diaphragmatic hernia, 1 huge omphalocele, 1 high imperforate anus, 4 hydronephrosis (2 mild and 2 severe). Six cases were operated in neonatal period, two were treated conservatively, and one did induced abortion. All cases recovered except 1 death. Conclusions The mode of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis with surgery in early neonatal period is a suitable way in China before the fetal surgery is applied. It is important to make effort to increase sensitivity of sonographic diagnosis of fetal malformation and to get early treatment in perinatal period.

Protein poly ADP-ribosylation (PARylation) is a widespread post-translational modifica-tion at DNA lesions, which is catalyzed by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs). This modifi-cation regulates a number of biological processes including chromatin reorganization, DNA damage response (DDR), transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, and mitosis. PARP1, functioning as a DNA damage sensor, can be activated by DNA lesions, forming PAR chains that serve as a docking platform for DNA repair factors with high biochemical complexity. Here, we highlight molecular insights into PARylation recognition, the expanding role of PARylation in DDR path-ways, and the functional interaction between PARylation and ubiquitination, which will offer us a better understanding of the biological roles of this unique post-translational modification.

Methods 80 cases of patients with lupus nephritis in Yueqing Hospital Affiliated to Wenzhou Medical University from May 2014 to May 2016 were selected and randomly divided into leflunomide group ( leflunomide combined with irbesartan group ) and cyclophosphamide group ( cyclophosphamide combined with irbesartan group),40 cases in each group.The urine indexes and blood indexes levels,clinical curative effect,adverse reaction of the two groups were statistically analyzed.Results The 24h urine protein,urine beta 2-MG,urine red blood cell count,blood beta beta2-MG,ESR,Cr levels of the leflunomide group were significantly lower (P<0.05),the serum albumin,C3 levels were significantly higher (P<0.05),the total treatment efficiency 97.5%was significantly higher than the cyclophosphamide group 82.5%(P<0.05),the incidence of adverse reactions 5.0%was significantly lower than the cyclophosphamide group 22.5%(P<0.05).Conclusion Leflunomide combined with irbesartan is safe and effective in the treatment of lupus nephritis.

Objective To explore the protective effects of adipose - derived stem cells (ADSCs) with phosphodiesterase 5 inhibition by lentivirus-mediated stable gene silencing on the proliferation and apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells induced by ischemia-reperfusion injury in vitro. Methods To isolate cultivate and indentify ADSCs from rats. Lentiviral expression vector of carrying PDE5 shRNA gene was transfected into ADSCs, and a negative control group was set up.Western blotting was used to detect PDE5 protein expression levels. ADSCs were co-cultured with NRK-52E in a transwell system, and NRK-52E cells were treated with ischemia/reoxygenation protocol. Edu assay was performed to evaluate the proliferation of NRK cells, flow cytometry to detect the apoptosis of NRK cells, and ELISA to quantify the protein expressions of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). The expression of E - cadherin and cytokeratin 18 (CK18) was quantified by real time PCR and flow cytometry. Results Western blotting for PDE5 protein indicated a significant reduction of PDE5 protein levels in PDE5 shRNA transduced population. After the treatment of ischemia/reoxygenation in vitro, the proliferative viability and apoptosis of NRK-52E cells co-cultured with ADSCs induced by PDE5 gene inhibition were significantly improved, compared to the normal group (all P<0.05). And the release of HGF, FGF were markedly enhanced (all P<0.05). Moreover, the NRK-52E cells survival, the expression of E-cadherin and CK18 on PDE5 inhibited ADSCs co-cultured with I/R injured NRK cells was significantly increased compared to that in the negative control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion ADSCs preconditioned by inhibition of PDE5 can be a powerful novel approach to improve the survival of renal tubular cells following ischemia-reperfusion injury, and have an obvious tendency to transform epithelial cells.

Objective To explore the gender differences in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) concurrent with upper urinary tract stone.Methods The clinical data of 40 PHPT concurrent with upper urinary tract stone cases treated from January 1997 to December 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.There were 21 males and 19 females,with an mean age of 51 years (26-77 years).All patients underwent operation for PHPT,with preoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) level of (38.42± 30.11)pmol/L.The PTH level in female patients was significantly higher than that in male patients (29.37± 17.64pmol/L versus 48.47±40.55 pmol/L,P=0.04).Serum biochemical variables were monitored,and 21 cases had 24 h-urinalysis.Results Postoperative pathology confirmed 36 cases of parathyroid adenoma and 4cases of parathyroid hyperplasia.Hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia were improved with no significant gender difference (both P＞0.05).But in 21 cases of 24 h-urinalysis,urinary calcium and phosphorus in males were significantly higher than those in females (8.26±2.60 mmol/24 h versus 6.08± 1.59 mmol/24 h,P=0.03; 7.03±1.44 mmol/24 h versus 5.42±1.25 mmol/24 h,P=0.01).Conclusion In patients with PHPT concurrent with urolithiasis,male patients may be more associated with hypercalciuria.

Aim To investigate the possible mechanism of ?-opioid receptor inhibiting serum deprivation-induced apoptosis of neonatal cardiac myocytes.Methods Myocardial cells of neonatal rats were cultured in vitro,after 48 h,the medium was changed to serum-free DMEM.The experimental groups were:A:Normal;B: Model;C: Model+DADLE(0.1 ?mol?L-1);D:Model+DADLE(0.1 ?mol?L-1)+naltrindole(10 ?mol?L-1);E:Model+DADLE(0.1 ?mol?L-1)+GF109203X(10 ?mol?L-1);F:Model+DADLE(0.1 ?mol?L-1)+staurosporine(1 ?mol?L-1).The cell viability was determined with MTT colormeteric assay;apoptosis index and the percentage of G0 in cell cycle were determined by flow cytometry;Caspase-3 and PKC signal pathway was investigated by Western blot.Results ?-opioid receptor agonist [D-Ala2,D-Leu5]-enkephalin(DADLE) could significantly inhibit serum deprivationinduced apoptosis of neonatal cardiac myocytes,which increased the survival index of cardiac myocyte,percentage of G2/M in cell cycle and the expression of PKC,decreased the apoptotic index of cardiac myocyte,percentage of G0/G1 in cell cycle and the expression of activate caspase-3.The protective effect of DADLE was obviously blocked by ?-opioid receptor antagonist Naltrindole at 10 ?mol?L-1,the PKC inhibitor GF109203X at 10 ?mol?L-1 and staurosporine at 1 ?mol?L-1,which decreased the survival index of cardiac myocyte,percentage of G2/M in cell cycle and the expression of PKC,increased the apoptotic index of cardiac myocyte,percentage of G0/G1 in cell cycle and the expression of caspase-3.Conclusion These findings suggested that ?-opioid receptor activation might be a potential survival factor against serum deprivation-induced myocardial cell apoptosis and this cardioprotective effect might be via PKC pathway.

Aim To investigate effects of berberine (Ber) on the transport of P-gp substrates including cyclosporine A (CsA) and digoxin across Caco-2 and L-MDR cell monolayers. Methods Permeability coefficients and transport rates of digoxin and CsA across Caco-2 and L-MDR1 monolayers were measured in the presence of Ber(50 ?mol?L-1~5 mmol?L-1). Results The inhibition studies for digoxin transport showed a dose-dependent decrease in basal-to-apical direction across Caco-2 and L-MDR1 monolayers in the presence of Ber (50 ?mol?L-1~5 mmol?L-1). Both a dose-dependent decrease in basal-to-apical direction and an increase in apical-to-basal direction were observed for CsA transport across Caco-2 monolayers with different concentrations of Ber. The IC50 values calculated for Ber-induced inhibition of digoxin transport are 1.44 mmol?L-1 in Caco-2 cells and 1.24 mmol?L-1 in L-MDR1 cells, respectively. The IC50 value for Ber-induced inhibition of CsA transport is 607 ?mol?L-1 in Caco-2 cells. Conclusion It was suggested that the inhibition and saturation of P-gp transport activity might be involved in interactions between Ber and CsA.
