OBJECTIVE To study antibiotic-resistant phenotypes and genotypes of ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae and Klebsiella oxytoca isolated from children with pneumonia in Urumqi,to know the distribution and difference of these three Gram-negative bacilli from 2003 to 2007.METHODS Bacterial strains were identified by VITEK32,ESBLs were detected by confirmatory test recommended by CLSI.Microarray technique was used to determine the genotypes of ESBLs.RESULTS Antibiotic-resistant phenotypes showed ESBLs-producing K.oxytoca decreasing from 84.3% to 35.3%,K.pneumoniae stabling in 50-60%,E.coli increasing from 34.4% to 72.1% during the five years;genotypes indicated there were most of ctx-m-9 and tem+ctx-m-9 in E.coli,tem and shv in K.pneumoniae,and the most of tem+ctx-m-3 in K.oxytoca.CONCLUSIONS There is high percentage of ESBLs production from children in Urumqi;resistant phenotypes and genotypes of ESBLs are different in three Gram-negative bacilli;and must further enhance the regional epidemiology surveillance about ESBLs.

Objective Using an in vivo adeno-associated virus(AAV)-mediated gene transfer technique,this study was designed to evaluate the protective effects of human osteoprotegerin(OPG)transgene against joint destruction in collagen induced arthritis(CIA)model.MethodsAfter CIA was established in the Sprague-Dawley rats,the experimental animals were treated with PBS or rAAV-EGFP or rAAV-hOPG (100μl/d)intra-articular injection 25 days after arthritis induction for 10 days.Paraffin-embedded joints were then analyzed histologically.The joint destruction was evaluated by Larsen Score.The protein expression of OPG,IL-1,MMP-3 was identified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results Suecessful trans-gene expression was confirmed by the detection of OPG by ELISA and positive fluorescence of the frozen joint section. Image analysis revealed that the expression of OPG significantly protected against joint destruction by 30% compared with the CIA group. Conclusion OPG gene transfer mediated by rAAV effectively protects against bone destruction induced by CIA model. Those data suggest that gene transferring using rAAV-OPG may be a feasible and effective therapeutic approach to treat or prevent joint destruction in inflammatory arthritis.

Objective This study was designed to investigate the expression changes of osteopro-tegerin (OPG), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA in collagen induced arthritis(CIA) rats. Methods After CIA was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats, the experimental animals were treated with PBS or rAAV-EGFP or rAAV-hOPG (100 μl/day) intra-articular injection for 10 days. Messenger RNAs (mRNAs) were obtained from CIA synovium 40days after first immun-ization. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR) were carried out to detect the mRNA encoding OPG, TRAP, VEGF and β-actin, which acted as inner control. The genes detected clearly by RT-PCR were quantified using real-time PCR. Results The expression of all genes was confirmed by specific single bands in RT-PCR. Real-time PCR showed that the expression levels of TRAP and VEGF were increased, whereas those of OPG mRNA were decreased in CIA group compared with normal controls. The intra-articular gene transduction markedly increased the gene copies of OPG by 128.21% (P<0.01). The expression change of OPG in synovium also caused the decrease of the expression levels of TRAP and VEGF by 58.79% (P<0.01)and 17.85% (P>0.05) respectively, however, the expression change of VEGF was not statistically significant. Conclusion OPG gene mediated by rAAV can be successfully tranfered to knee joint synovium in vivo. The results of this study suggest that gene transfer using rAAV-OPG may be a feasible and effective therapeutic approach to treat or prevent joint destruction in inflammatory arthritis.

Objective:To investigate the serotype distribution and drug resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae ( S. pneumoniae) isolated in Urumqi Children′s Hospital and to evaluate the significances of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) in preventing infection and controlling drug resistance. Methods:The S. pneumoniae isolates stored in clinical laboratory of Urumqi Children′s Hospital from January to December in 2018 were re-cultured.The serotypes were detected by capsule swelling experiment to assess the coverage rate of PCV13.The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Penicillin, Amoxicillin, Cefotaxime and Ceftriaxone were detected by E-test method, and the susceptibility of the isolates to Meropenem and other 9 antibiotics was detected by VITEC 2 Compact system. Results:A total of 225 S. pneumoniae strains were identified.The common serotypes were 19F (32.9%), 23F (12.0%), 19A (10.7%), 6B (10.2%) and 6A (8.0%). PCV13 coverage rate was 80.4%.There was no significant difference in serotype distribution and PCV13 coverage between children < 2 years old and ≥ 2 years old, as well as between Han and minority people.The 57.8% and 31.7% strains showed intermediate susceptibility and resistance against oral Penicillin, respectively.Based on the breakpoints for meningitis, 89.4% strains were resistant against pare-nteral Penicillin, and 47.5% and 64.6% strains were non-susceptible (mainly intermediately susceptible) to Ceftria-xone and Cefotaxime, respectively.The resistance rates of strains against Erythromycin, Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim and Tetracycline were as high as 98.1%, 67.6% and 89.6%, respectively.More than 90% tested isolates were susceptible to Amoxicillin, Meropenem, Levofloxacin or Moxifloxacin.PCV13 strains were more resistant to Penicillin than non-PCV13 strains. Conclusions:The serotypes 19F, 23F, 19A, 6B and 6A are common among the S. pneumoniae isolated in Urumqi.The coverage rate of PCV13 is about 80%.There was no significant difference in serotype distribution between Han and minority nationality children. S. pneumoniae were frequently resistant against Erythromycin.The high resistance to Penicillin and other beta-lactams should be taken into account when treatment is decided for suspected pneumococcal meningitis.Universal administration of PCV13 would be effective strategy to prevent pneumococcal infection in children and to control the drug resistance of S. pneumoniae.
