Objective Clinical reports on perilymphatic fistulae(PLF) of the round window membrane(RWM) have shown different degrees of hearing loss. For the unknown mechanisms of hearing loss, the morphological changes of cochlea with perilymphatic fistulae(PLF) was studied.Methods Among 10 guinea pigs, each ear on one side was punctured and the ear of another side was used as control. 4 hours after operation, the morphological changes of cochlea were observed.Results It was found that 2 ears with endolymphatic hydrops, 1 ear with strica vascularis stripped, venous hyperemia and hemorrhage in cochlea, 7 ears with no changes.Conclusion The study suggestes that the normal and the abnormal morphological changes of cochlea can all be seen after the rupture of RWM.

Objective To screen the down-regulated genes in HepG2 cells transfected by pcDNA3.1(-)-IFN-? to further investigate the biological mechanism of IFN-?. Methods pcDNA3.1(-)-IFN-? was transfected into HepG2 cells as treatment group and the pcDNA3.1(-) transfected cells as the control to perform suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH). The subtractive library for down-regulated genes was obtained when pcDNA3.1(-) transfected HepG2 as tester and pcDNA3.1(-)-IFN-? transfected cells as driver. A housekeeping gene, G3PDH, was used to estimate the subtractive efficiency. Genes with lower expressions in IFN-? transfected HepG2 cells were obtained from the library after being randomly sequenced and analyzed. Among the obtained genes, regulation of IFN-? on heat shock 90kD (Hsp90) mRNA was further investigated by RT-PCR. Results G3PDH was subtracted efficiently indicating that the subtractive library was constructed successfully. 50 positive clones were randomly isolated for PCR identification. Results showed that most of the plasmids in the clones contained 200-1 000bp inserts. The down-regulated genes obtained were as follows: eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 beta, ferritin, RAD23 homolog B, signal sequence receptor 2 (SSR2), tissue factor pathway inhibitor, heat shock 90kD protein 1, and adenosylmethionine decarboxylase 1. RT-PCR showed that hsp90 mRNA had a reduced expression in pcDNA3.1 (-)-IFN-? transfected HepG2 cells. Conclusion The down-regulated cDNA subtractive library in HepG2 cells after pcDNA3.1 (-)-IFN-? transfection was constructed successfully. IFN-? could down-regulate the hsp90 mRNA expression.

Objctive To investigate the zymogenic state and drug resistance of multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDRP) for providing a laboratory basis of combined use of drugs against MDRP in clinical practice. Methods All isolates were isolated by routine procedures and identified by VITEK-2 automatic bacterial identification instrument. Following the CLSI instruction, doubling dilution in agar plates was performed for MIC detection. Results MDRP were 22.77% ( 86.96% for sputum) from 101 strains Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which were isolated from clinical specimens. Positive rates of MDRP producing metallo-?-lactmases were 91.3%, positive rates for producing induced Ampc and plasmid Ampc ?-lactamase were 52.17% and 21.74%, respectively. The ratio between Meropenem and Imipenem higher then 1 was 34.78%. The bacterial inhibitory rates of Polymyxin B and Imipenem were zero, that of Amikaein and Ceftaxidime were 4.35%, that of Ciprofloxacin and Cefoperazone/sulbactam were 43.48%, that of Pazufioxacin and Piperacillin/Tazobactam were 21.74% and 26.07%, and that of Meropenem was 47.83%. The combined use of Cefoperazone/sulbactam, Cefpirome, Piperacillin/Tazobactam with Amikacin resulted in bacteriostatic rate of 65.2%, 47.8%, 43.5%, respectively. Conclusoins MDRP is main micro-organism found in respiratory tract specimens. Drug resistance of MDRP is related to multiple drug-resistant mechanisms. Clinicians should first select enzyme inhibitory-drug (Cefoperazone/sulbactam or Piperacillin/Tazohaetam) with Amikacin or Polymyxin B to treat clinical MORP infection, and re-adjust the type of antibiotics rationally according to patients' symptoms, phenotype of the drug-resistant pathogen, the results of drug susceptibility test, and the effect on the patients.

Objetive To elucidate the mechanism of antibiotic resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa(P.a.) in an effort to provide a basis in clinical combined use of antibiotics against P.a.infection in clinical settings.Methods All P.a.strains were isolated by routine procedures and identified with VITEK-2 automatic bacterial identification console.The minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) was detected using dilution method on agar plate following the instruction of CLSI.Results Ninety-two strains of P.a.were isolated from clinical infection specimens,most of them were obtained from respiratory tract(88.04%).Of the 92 strains,45(48.91%) were metallo-?-lactmases positive,and 25(27.17%) were AmpC positive.When treated with a combination of meropenem and imipenem,MIC≥1 was found in 17 strains(18.48%).The bacteriostatic rate of polymixin B and meropenem was 95.65% and 80.43%,respectively,that of amikaein,piperacillin/tazohaetam(PIT) and imipenem was 48.91%-71.74%,and that of cefoperazone/sulbactam(SUP) was 36.96%.The synergistic action of PIT,and SUP with amikacin was 60.87% and 58.70%,respectively,and that of PIT,SUP with minocycline were 44.57% and 43.48%,and of PIT,SUP with PLB were 28.26% and 7.61%,respectively.Conclusions P.a.strains in this study are mainly isolated from respiratory tract infection specimens.Multiple drug-resistant mechanisms are involved in the drug resistance of P.a.Enzyme inhibitors,such as PIT or SUP,with amikacin or polymixin B should be first selected for clinical treatment of P.a.caused infection.Meanwhile,antibiotics should be rationally administered in accordance with the seriousness of disease,and with the drug-resistant phenotype of the isolated strains.
