Objective To establish and evaluate a diagnostic technique based on the AllGlo~(TM) probe for the invasive aspergillosis. Methods With the self-designed AllGlo~(TM) probes and primers and the standards, two standard curves of the real-time PCR based on AllGlo~(TM) probes were established respectively for A. flaws and A. fumigatus,then its specificity, sensitivity and reproducibility were evaluated respectively. Results The findings indicated that the standard curve of A. flavus was Y = - 3. 003X + 36. 825, and A. fumigatus' was Y = - 3. 052X + 38.016, and their interassay coefficient of variation respectively were 15.60% and 12. 94% , suggesting a good reproducibility. The lowest spore concentration they could be detected was 10 CFU/ml, which equated to 100-1000 copies of internal transcribed spacer (ITS)2 genes, suggesting a good sensibility. They didn't have cross-positive reaction with other fungus, human genome and bacteria, which indicated a good specificity. Conclusion The diagnostic technique based on the AllGlo?probe for the invasive aspergillosis possessed a good sensitivity, good specificity and deadly accuracy.

Objective To investigate the effect of resistance nodulation division (RND) efflux pumps on reduced susceptibility to tigecycline in carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumanii.Methods Totally 631 isolates of Acinetobacter baumanii were collected from 16 hospitals in 7 provinces in 2010.Genes oxa-51 and oxa-23 were detected by PCR method,and the ST profiles were determined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST).The disk susceptibility assay was used to determine the inhibition zone diameters of β-lactams,aminoglycosides,macrolides,tetracyclines,carbapenems,tigecycline and polymyxin.The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of tigecycline was determined by E-test in strains with inhibition zone diameters ≤ 12 mm on tigecycline.The expression of operon genes adeB,adeG and adeJ was determined with efflux pump inhibitor NMP (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) for detection of efflux pump inhibitor phenotype.The isolates of Acinetobacter baumanii which were resistant both to tigecycline and carbapenems and with the inhibited phenotype of efflux pump inhibitor were collected as the experiment group,the isolates which were susceptible to tigecycline but resistant to carbapenems were collected as the control group,and ATCC 19606 was used as the reference strain.The expressions of adeABC,adeFGH and adeIJK were quantified by q-PCR at the transcriptional level.Genes adeR,adeS and adeL were amplified and sequenced using PCR method to find polymorphic locus and insertion sequences.Results There were 32 isolates of Acinetobacter baumanii with reduced susceptibility to tigecycline and carbapenem-resistant.Eight isolates were with the inhibited phenotype by efflux pump inhibitor.And 4 strains which were susceptible to tigecycline but resistant to carbapenems were selected as the control.The expressions of adeABC in A518,Z1219 and A527 of experiment group were 13-fold,5-fold and 7-fold higher than reference strain ATCC19606,respectively.The expressions of adeFGH and adeIJK were up-regulated slightly in some isolates.Transcript of adeABC was not found in control group strains A207 and A1731,and the expressions of adeABC,adeFGH and adeIJK were not up-regulated in other isolates.The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was detected in adeR (E220K) and adeS (A130D),respectively.ISAab1 insertion sequence was identified in adeS of adeABC-over expressed isolates.No mutation was found in adeL.Conclusion High expression of adeABC pump may play an important role in tigecycline resistance in carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii,mainly due to the insertion of ISAba1 sequence in its regulator gene adeS,but other mechanism of tigecycline resistance may not be excluded.

Objective To study interdialytic body weight gain(IBWG)in maintenance hemodialysis(MHD)patients,and to analyze the associated factors. Methods A total of 269 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis were enrolled in this cross-sectional study.The patients were divided into two groups according to the percentage of IBWG(PIBWG:interdialytic body weight gain/dry weight×100%):PIBWG>3.50%(190 cases)and PIBWG≤3.50%(79 cases).Associated factors of IBWG were analyzed. Results The average IBWG of 269 MHD patients was(2.42±1.01)kg(0-6.33 kg),and PIBWG was(4.25±1.79)%.In male patients,IBWG was (2.45±1.09)kg,and PIBWG was(3.99±1.79)%.In female patients,IBWG was(2.39±0.85)kg,and PIBWG was(4.64±1.74)%which was significantly higher compared to males(P<0.01).Patients with PIBWG<3.00%accounted for 20%,with PIBWG≥3.00%to<5.00%accounted for 50%,with PIBWG≥5.00%accounted for 30%.Compared to patients with PIBWG>3.50%,those with PIBWG≤3.50%were characterized by elder age(year)(60.50 ±14.49 vs 54.07±13.78),more males(70.88%vs 54.74%),shorter dialysis duration(month)(41.03±41.92 vs 58.83±43.57),larger BMI(kg/m2)(22.67±3.36 vs 20.91±3.25)and less dry weight(kg)(56.69±10.94 vs 62.82±10.97),more residual urine(ml,In)(6.19±0.94 vs 5.48±0.8),lower predialysis serum β2MG(mmol/L)(31.61±9.82 vs 38.54±10.38)and phosphorus(mmol/L)(1.92±0.66 vs 2.15±0.58).Correlation analysis revealed that PIBWG was positively correlated with dialysis duration,Scr,BUN,β2-MG,phosphorus,decrease and decrease percentage of BP during hemodialysis,and negatively correlated with age,dry weight,BMI,residual urine,and pre-dialysis SBP,MAP. Conclusions PIBWG of about 70%of our patients was below 5%.Young.female.low BMI and dry body weight,long dialysis duration,low residual urine,chronic glomerulonephritis and diabetic nephropathy are associated with more IBWG,which may lead to greater intradialytic BP fluctuation.

Objective To explore the potential risk factors for aortic and mitral valve calcification in maintenance hemodialysis(MHD)patients. Methods Patients on MHD for at least 6 months.aged≥1 8 years without history of surgery or catheter for heart valve disease were enrolled in the study.Echocardiographic examination was performed to detect the calcification.The risk factors for aortic and mitral valve calcification were analyzed by Logistic regression. Results One hundred and eighty-one MHD patients(98 men and 83 women)were enrolled in the study.Of all the patients,aortic or mitral valve calcification was found in 94 patients(5 1.9%),aortic valve calcification in 90 patients(49.7%),mitral valve calcification in 30 patients(16.6%),aortic and valve calcification in 26 patients(14.4%).Multivariate Logistic regression showed that age(β=5.52,P=0.007),dialysis duration(β=6.99,P=0.039)and pre-albumin(β=-12.616,P=0.004)were independently correlated with aortic valve calcification.Mitral valve calcification was independently correlated with dialysis duration(β=6.057,P=0.002),history of primary hypertension(β=3.054,P=0.008),hemoglobin(β=-0.061,P=0.035)and β2 microglobulin(β=7.63,P=0.01).While the correlation between mitral valve calcification and age was borderline significant(β=0.085,P=0.05).Conclusions Valve calcification is prevalent in MHD patients,and aortic valve calcification is more common than mitral valve calcification.Age,dialysis duration and low serum pre-albumin are independent risk factors for aortic valve calcification.The risk factors for mitral valve calcification include age,dialysis duration,history of primary hypertension,anemia and high serum β2 microglobulin.

Objective To identify the efficacy and safety of aspirin in reducing the serum high sensitivity C reactive protein(hsCRP)level and preventing the internal arteriovenous fistulas(AVF)embolism in maintenance hemodialysis patients. Methods One hundred and ten hemodialysis patients using AVF more than 3 months were randomly divided into 2 groups,the intervention group(n=55,received aspirin 100 mg/d)and the control group(n=55).Examinations were performed at baseline and 6-month after treatment.Serum hsCRP level,platelet aggregates ratio(PAR),coagulation and inflammation indicators were measured.AVF embolism and the adverse events were monitored. Results Six months later.PAR and hsCRP level of the intervention group patients aged≤60 years decreased significantly [(68.14±8.45)%vs (82.37±9.12)%;(4.79±4.81)mg/L vs(6.94±10.26)mg/L,all P<0.05],and were significantly lower as compared to.the control group[(68.14±8.45)%vs(74.7±11.50)%,(4.79±4.81)mg/L vs(5.12±9.25)mg/L,all P<0.05].There were 2 cases of AVF embolism occured in both groups,which showed no statistical difierence (P=0.676).The incidence of adverse effeets was higher in the intervention group than that in the control group but no statistical significance was found (20.0%vs 7.2%,P=0.052),while the mortality rate had no difference between 2 groups (3.6%vs 0,P=0.495).Conclusion Use of aspirin 100 mg/d for 6 months can significantly reduce the serum hsCRP level and PAR in hemodialysis patients under 60-year-old without serious adverse reactions.

Objective To examine the association between residual renal function at initiation of dialysis and prognosis in maintenance dialysis patients.Methods Incident patients with end-stage renal diseases initiating dialysis between 1 January 2005 and 30 September 2009,followed up to 31 March 2010 were enrolled in this study.Residual renal function was evaluated using eGFR estimated by the abbreviated MDRD equation.Patients were classified into four groups according to eGFR of ≥10.5,8 to <10.5,6 to <8,<6 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1.The outcome was all-cause and cardiocerebral vascular mortality.Results (1) A total of 562 patients were included.The median eGFR at initiation of dialysis was 5.60 (2.26-12.62) ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1.The median follow-up time was 17 (0-58) months from initiation of dialysis and 141 patients died within this period.The median survival time was 45.48 (43.05-47.90) months.With eGFR declined,Scr,BUN,serum uric acid,serum prealbumin,phosphorus,calcium and phosphate product,iPTH,mean arterial pressure (MAP) at initiation of dialysis increased (P<0.05),and hemoglobin,proportion of male,proportion of diabetes comorbidity,proportion of the Charlson comorbidity index ≥5 decreased (P<0.05).Though there was no significant difference among the four groups,the proportion of left ventricular hypertrophy comorbidity increased when eGFR declined.(2) There was no significant difference of all-cause mortality among four groups using Kaplan-Meire survival curve.Cox regression model indicated no significant difference of all-cause mortality in levels of eGFR (HR=1.012,95%CI 0.961-1.065,P=0.654).Without patients died in the first 3 months,the multivariate Cox regression model indicated eGFR at initiation of dialysis was the protective factor to 1 year survival (HR=0.791,95%CI 0.669-0.935,P<0.01).(3) The multivariate Cox regression model indicated the risk of overall and 1 year cardiocerebral vascular death decreased with eGFR at initiation of dialysis increased (HR=0.868,95%CI 0.777-0.971,P<0.05; HR=0.937,95%CI 0.851-0.992,P<0.05,respectively).(4) The multivariate Cox regression model indicated eGFR at initiation of dialysis was benefit to survival of patients treated by peritoneal dialysis,with all-cause death risk decreased by 10% when eGFR increased by 1 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1 (HR=0.90,95%CI 0.81-0.99,P<0.05).In hemodialysis patients,Kaplan-Meire survival curve was significantly different among the four groups (Log-rank test,P=0.047); the survival of the group of 8 to <10.5 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1 was lower as compared to the groups of 6 to <8 (Log-rank test,P=0.033) and <6 ml·min-1(1.73 m2)-1 (Log-rank test,P=0.005); but the multivariate Cox regression model indicated no relationship between survival and eGFR.In the subgroup of chronic glomerulonephritis as primary renal disease,the eGFR at initiation of dialysis was the benefit factor,with all-cause death risk decreased by 16.6% (HR=0.834,95%CI 0.736-0.946,P<0.01) and cardiocerebral vascular death risk decreased by 18.2% (HR=0.818,95%CI 0.669-0.999,P<0.05) when eGFR increased by 1 ml ·min-1 ·(1.73 m2)-1.In the subgroup of chronic glomerulonephritis treated by peritoneal dialysis,the all-cause death risk decreased by 32.1% with eGFR increased by 1 ml·min 1·(1.73 m2)-1 (HR=0.679,95%CI 0.535-0.862,P<0.01).Conclusions Early initiation of dialysis may not be associated with improved overall survival,but may reduce cardiocerebral vascular and 1 year all-cause mortality,improve the survival of chronic glomerulonephritis patients and peritoneal dialysis patients.
