Objective:To investigate the antimicrobial resistance spectrum of Escherichia coli isolated from different clinical sam-ples to guide the nosocomial infection control and rational use of antibiotics. Methods:Escherichia coli from clinical samples were isola-ted and tested by microbiological assay system of BD Phoenix 100 and susceptibility test card in 2013. The drug resistance was analyzed and compared retrospectively. Results: There were 936 strains of Escherichia coli isolated from our hospital in 2013. Escherichia coli was resistant to common antibiotics at high level. Escherichia coli strains isolated from different samples varied in the drug susceptibili-ty. The resistance rate of the strains from sputum samples was higher than that from the other samples. Conclusion:The status of drug resistance of clinical isolated Escherichia coli to antibiotics is very serious. Escherichia coli isolated from different samples show different drug resistant features, and the antimicrobial therapy should be considered according to the antimicrobial susceptibility tests.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of exercise (EX), low-fat diet (LFD) and their combination intervention on the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) expression of insulin resistance in rats.

METHODSOne hundred and thirty male rats randomly assigned to 2 groups: Control (CON)-10 rats consuming a low-fat diet; HFD-120 rats consuming a high-fat diet (HFD). The dietary regimen was sustained for 8 wk, at which point the 40 HFD group rats gaining the most weight were referred to as the obese rats. Glucose tolerance was assessed by an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). During the procedure of OGTT, the blood was drawn for insulin assay (insulin release test). The whole body insulin resistance was assessed by glucose-insulin index. The obese HFD group rats were randomized into one of four intervention groups: HFD-sedentary (HFD-SED), HFD-exercise(HFD-EX), low fat diet-SED (LFD-SED), LFD-EX. Ex rats performed 8-wk exercise training on a motorized treadmill. The CON group had access to low-fat diet for another 8 wk. After 8 wk of exercise and low-fat diet intervention, the OGTT and insulin release test were performed again. To use ELISA technique for detecting TNF-alpha in soleus muscle and adipose tissue.

RESULTSAfter being fed high-fat diet for 8 wk, glucose-insulin index in the HFD group were significantly greater than that in CON group (P < 0.01). After 8-week exercise and low-fat diet intervention, glucose-insulin index in HFD-SED group was significantly greater than that in CON group (P < 0.01). The index in three intervention groups was significantly less than that in HFD-SED group (P < 0.01) . TNF-alpha content in adipose tissue and the soleus muscle for HFD-SED group was significantly greater than that in CON group (P < 0.01). Three intervention groups were significantly less than HFD-SED group (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONExercise and low-fat diet interventions can decrease the TNF-alpha expression in insulin resistance rat.

Objective To detect the serum level of mannose binding lectin (MBL) in patients with renal injury induced by rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and to investigate the role of MBL in the pathogenesis of renal injury in RA. Methods ELISA was used to measure the serum MBL level of 19 RA patients with renal injury, 49 RA patients without renal injury and 40 healthy individuals. The clinical features and laboratory markers were compared and analyzed by chi-square test, two independent samples t-test and Spearman's correlation analysis. Results Compared with RA patients without renal injury, the number of tender and swollen joints [(15±9) vs (9±11)], duration of morning stiffness [(2.9±1.3) vs (2.3±1.6) h] and extraarticular manifestations (42.1％ vs 16.3％) in RA patients with renal injury were significantly higher (P＜0.05or P＜0.01). There was no significant difference between the two groups in RA disease duration and jointdeformity(P＞0.05). In patients with renal injury, the level of platelet count [(376±155)×109/L vs (304±121)×109/L], CIC[(4.3±3.0) vs (2.9±3.3) g/L], ESR[(79±46) vs (53±31) mm/1 h], RF[(77±42) vs (52±49)U/ml], CRP[(32±28)vs (23±18)mg/L], IgG[(11.7±2.6)vs (8.4±2.4)g/L], C3[(1.18±0.53)vs (0.94±0.21) g/L] were higher than those in RA patients without renal injury (P＜0.01 or P＜0.05); the level of Alb [(26±13) vs (30±9) g/L] was lower than that in RA patients without renal injury (P＜0.05). The level of serum MBL in the two groups of RA patients was significantly lower than that in the healthy group [(3.1±0.5)mg/L](P＜0.01), and the level of serum MBL in RA patients with renal injury [(1.7±1.2) mg/L] was higher than that in RA patients without renal injury [(1.4±1.3) mg/L](P＜0.05). The level of serum MBL in RA patients with renal injury showed a positive correlation with IgG, C3, CRP and 24 h urine protein level (r=0.6, 0.6, 0.47, 0.57; P＜0.05). Conclusion Renal injury in RA patients is immune complex dependent. The serum level of MBL is higher in patients with renal injury, therefore, high-concentration MBL may be one of a potential causes of renal injury in RA patients.

Objective To study the effects of a rotating magnetic field(RMF)on Li pilocarpine-in- duced seizure activity and the expression of mGluR1 and mGluR5 in the hippocampus.Methods Thirty rats were divided into 5 groups.Each rat in the model(M),short treatment(ST)and long treatment(LT)groups was treated with intra-peritoneal injections of lithium chloride(60 mg/kg),followed by an intra-peritoneal injec- tion of pilocarpine(35 mg/kg)24 h later.The rats in the ST group were exposed to 20 mT RMF for 20 min ev- ery day for 3 d before seizure induction,while the rats in LT group were exposed to the same RMF for 8 d.The latency,severity and duration of seizure,as well as accompanying symptoms and electroencephalogram data, were recorded,and the expression of mGluR1 and mGluR5 was calculated using an electrophoretic imaging anal- ysis system.Results The duration,times and accompanying symptoms of seizure were significantly decreased in the LT group.The mGluR1 mRNA level and mGluR1/mGluR5 ratio in the M group were markedly increased, but the mGluR5 mRNA level was obviously decreased,while the expression of mGluR1 in the ST and LT groups was decreased,and mGluR5 was increased.Conclusions Seizure activity in rats can be inhibited by 20 mT RMF,and the expression of mGluRl and mGluR5 in the hippocampus of rats suffering seizures can be markedly influenced by longer-term RMF.
