Objective　To study the clinico-pathological features of primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL).　Methods　2 cases of PAL were reviewed and studied.　Results　The age of the 2 patients was 45 and 57.The presenting symptoms were nonspecific.Histologically,the neoplasm was composed of numerous medium-sized cells with round nucleus,usually 1-2 in number and with relatively abundant basophilic cytoplasm.The neoplastic cells showed frequent mitosis.Immunohistochemically,the tumor cells were strongly positive for LCA,L26 and CD74 while negative for UCHL-1,S-100 protein and CK. One case was discharged 3 months after operation because of dyscrasia and the other was lost on follow up.Prognosis of PAL was poor.　Conclusions　PAL is extremely rare with a high grade of malignancy.The diagnosis could be made on histopathological studies and immunohistochemical studies.

Objective To investigate the occupational risk awareness levels of higher vocational nursing students before and after the clinic practice.Methods Five-year higher vocational nursing students were investigated by filling out questionnaires before and after the clinic practice.Results Nursing students' occupational risk awareness improved after the clinic practice.They hoped to acquire knowledge about occupational risk and thought that the school was supposed to offer professional ethics courses and strengthen the occupational risk education.Conclusions The majority of nursing students knew the protective measures of occupational exposure in nursing.But there were also someone who did not know these.Relevant knowledge was in high demand.Therefore,schools and internship units should provide a variety of ways to reduce the risks during the internship of nursing students.

Objective:To investigate the microsurgical anatomy of the far lateral suboccipital approach and to evaluate its application to surgical approach. Methods:Fourteen cadaveric heads(28 sides) were dissected through far lateral suboccipital approach to obtain the anatomical data of this approach.A retrospective analysis of microsurgical treatment in 12 cases of tumors situated at lower clivus and foramen magnum was performed. Results:Transverse process of C_1 and inferior occipital trangle were important anatomical marks in the far lateral occipital approach.Drilling the condyle and jugular tubercle was benefit to expand the surgical space.Total removal of the turmors was achieved in 9 patients,subtotal removal in 3 patients,and without any surgical morbidity. Conclusion:Study on the microsurgical anatomy of the far lateral suboccipital approach was helpful in resecting tumors situated at lower clivus and foramen magnum.

Objective To explore the CT manifestations of pediatric mesenechymal hamartoma of liver (MHL).Methods Clinical data of 15 cases with MHL confirmed by surgery and pathology were retrospectively analyzed.All children were performed with CT scans including plain and enhanced scans,and the imaging features were analyzed.Results All the lesions were solitary,and 9 masses located at the right lobe of liver,4 located at the left lobe,the others located at both right and left lobe.The maximum diameter of lesions was from 5 cm to 30 cm,with an average of (11.52±6.84) cm.Ten cases were cystic and solid mixed,5 cases were solid.After contrast administration,the solid component and the septa of the masses showed enhancement while no enhancement was observed in the cystic component.Two cases had the spot-like calcification.Conclusion MHL has some special characteristics in the CT scan before surgery,which should be differentiated from other cystic and solid tumors of live.Some MHLs can be diagnosed when combined with the clinical information and CT images.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of the different levels of ciprofloxacin resistance in qnrA-containing transconjugants.Methods E. coli J53AzR as the recipient,4 qnrA-containing transconiugants were constructed by conjugation from 4 qnrA-carrying clinical isolates.MICs of the transconjugants were measured by E test.aac(6')-Ib-cr was detected by PCR,and qnrA mRNA expression level was determined by real-time RT-PCR.The promoter sequences of qnrA were amplified by PCR from qnrA-bearing plasmids and cloned into plasmid pKK232-8,then transformed into HB101.All promoter fragments were sequenced.Resuits The MICs of ciprofloxacin against 4 transconjugants demonstrated a 10-fold difference from 0.094 μg/ml to 1.000 μg/m1.Of 4 qnrA-bearing plasmids in E.coli J53,ciprofloxacin MICs of pHS4 and pHS5 were 0.094 μg/ml and 0.125 μg/ml,respectively;pHS3,which contained the aac(6')-Ib-cr gene as well,MIC was 0.25μg/ml;and pHS5,which had a high expression level of qnrA and the aac(6')-Ib-cr gene,MIC was 1.00μg/ml.The relative expression levels of qnrA mRNA in J53 pHS6 was 32.5,much higher than the other 3 transconjugants(from 1.0 to 2.5).The promoter in plasmid pHS6 was 12-fold stronger than that in the other 3 plasmids.Compared with pHS3,there was 7 bp(GTTAGCA)deletion between the transcription initiation site and the start of qnrA in pHS6.Conclusion Co-existence of qnrA and aac(6')-Ib-cr in a single plasmid and high level of qnrA expression can account for the different levels of ciprofloxacin resistance in transconjugants.

The heterogeneity of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) in hyperuricemia was analyzed in Uygur,Han,and Kazak ethnic groups in Xinjiang.A total of 2 396 subjects were surveyed.The HDL-C levels were significantly decreased in hyperuricemia group compared with control group in Han and Uygur,while the reverse occurred in Kazak.The serum uric acid (SUA) level in Kazak was the lowest.The SUA was negatively correlated with HDL C in Kazak (P ＜ 0.05).HDL-C was a recognized protective factor for cardiovascular disease.With the lowered SUA level in the Kazak group,HDL-C level was increased.When SUA level was higher than a certain level (such as the SUA-4),there existed a negative impact on cardiovascular disease

Objective To understand the resistance mechanism and clinical feature of linezolid-resistant S.capitis isolated from blood samples.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out to determine the susceptibility of clinical strains.PCR and sequencing analysis were used to analyze cfr gene and 23S rRNA mutation,which were associated with linezolid resistance.Patterns of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) were analyzed in combination with clinical data to understand the clinical feature of S.capitis strains.Results Five linezolid-resistant S.capitis strains were isolated from blood samples of 3 patients.These strains were resistant not only to linezolid,but also to most of the commonly used antimicrobial agents except glycopeptides,rifampin,and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.Mutation was identified in 23S rRNA genes of all the five strains and cfr gene was found in four of the five strains.PFGE typing showed the same type,which supported the homology of the 5 strains.Three patients had deep vein indwelling catheter and two of them were treated with linezolid.Conclusions Linezolid-resistant S.capitis isolates showed the phenotype of resistance to multiple antimicrobial agents.Linezolid resistance may be mediated by cfr gene and 23S rRNA mutations in S.capitis.Long-term use of deep vein indwelling catheter and linezolid treatment may increase the risk of linezolid-resistant S.capitis infection.

Objective To discuss the effect of selenoprotein P (SeP) on occurring and developing of colorectal cancer and its clinical significance by detecting the expression of SeP in adjacent mucosa of colorectal cancer, and in the cancer, metastatic lymph node and metastasis hepatic tissues.Methods Tissue microarray was constructed, the expression of SeP in adjacent mucosa of colorectal cancer, and in the cancer, metastatic lymph node and metastasis hepatic tissues were detected by means of immunohistochemistry.Results The positive rate of SeP were 48.4%,69.5%,66.7% and 61.5% in adjacent mucosa, tumor cell, lymph node metastasis and hepatic metastasis. The expression of adjacent mucosa was significantly lower than that in other three sites(?2=16.53,P

Objective To screen fosfomycin-resistant genes in the clinical isolates of Enterococcus faecium Efm-HS0661 and verify their functions. MethodsAntimicrobial susceptibility and conjugation experiments were carried out to determine if the antimicrobial resistance in clinical strain was transferable.By Solexa high-throughput sequencing,the genes conferring fosfomycin resistance were screened. The function of resistance gene was identified by cloning.ResultsThe clinical isolates of Enterococcus faecium Efm-HS0661 were resistant to glycopeptide antibiotics and fosfomycin, and the fosfomycin resistance was found to be transferred by conjugation. Within the 2414 bp nucleotide sequence obtained by high-throughput sequencing, fosB, a plasmid-mediated fosfomycin resistance gene was found. The fosB gene was 420 bp in length, which shared 99. 8％ amino acid identity with other fosB from Staphylococcus spp. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of DH5α transformant containing fosB gene against fosfomycin was higher than that of DHSa transformant without fosB gene. ConclusionsThe high-throughput sequencing can be used to screen unknown resistance genes in clinical isolates. The plasmidmediated resistance gene fosB can confer fosfomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium.

Objective:To explore the application of speckle tracking imaging (STI) stratification strain technique in the assessment of circumferential myocardial function and the myocardial protection of ATP-postconditioning (ATP-PostC) in a rabbit model of acute myocardial infarction.Methods:A total of 40 rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups: pure ischemia reperfusion group (IR group)and ATP-PostC group. STI images were recorded before and 45 min after occlusion of coronary artery, post low-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography, 60 and 120 min after reperfusion, respectively. The following parameters were obtained: left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF), heart rate (HR), endocardial circumferential systolic strain (CSsys-endo), mid-myocardial circumferential systolic strain (CSsys-mid) and epicardial circumferential systolic strain (CSsys-epi) at left ventricular short-axis level. At different time points after occlusion and reperfusion, 5 experimental rabbits were killed in each group for pathological examination.Results:①Forty-five min after coronary artery occlusion in both groups, the values of LVEF and HR were decreased( P<0.05), and the absolute values of CSsys-endo, CSsys-mid and CSsys-epi were significantly reduced( P<0.01). After LDDSE, the absolute values of CSsys-endo, CSsys-mid and CSsys-epi were increased, which were different from those after blockade( P<0.05). ②After reperfusion, the circumferential strains were not significantly different from those after blockade in IR group ( P>0.05). After blockade, the absolute values of circumferential strains were increased significantly in the ATP-PostC group compared with IR group( P<0.05). In the ATP-PostC group, the absolute values of CSsys-endo at different time points after reperfusion increased significantly compared with that after blockade ( P<0.05). The absolute values of CSsys-endo and CSsys-mid 120 min after reperfusion continued to increase significantly compared with those 60 min after reperfusion( P<0.05). ③Pathological examination: After 60 min of blockade, there was no significant difference in myocardial infarction area between the IR group and the ATP-PostC group( P>0.05). The percentage of infarct areas at each time point of reperfusion in the ATP-PostC group was decreased compared with that after blockade( P<0.05). Compared with the IR group, the percentage of infarct area in the ATP-PostC group was smaller after 120 minutes of reperfusion and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The applications of STI stratification strain technique and LDDSE can assess left ventricular circumferential strains at each of myocardial layers before and after reperfusion in rabbit myocardial ischemia ATP-PostC model, identify and evaluate the function of viable myocardium, and exhibit the significant protective effects of ATP-PostC on myocardial reperfusion injury.
