The purpose of this study was to observe whether human peripheral dervied monouncleas cells (hMNCs) could participate in the regeneration process of the ischemic hearts in the way of differentiating into cardiomyocytes, vascular endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells. hMNCs were transplanted into the bodies of the mice with myocardial infarction through the tail vein injection. Hearts were harvested 2-12 weeks after injection then sliced up into frozen sections of 5 micron thickness. Double immunofluorescence staining was used to test the differentiation of the grafted cells into cardiomyocytes, smooth muscle cells and vascular endothelial cells which revealed that cells expressing both HLA and TNT, HLA and alpha-SMA, HLA and vWF existed in the hearts of the mice. According to the study, it is probable that hMNCs could participate in the regeneration process of the infarcted hearts in the way of differentiation.

Objective:To analyze the patterns of antibacterial agents in Chinese children surveyed by the China multi-center monitoring network for the application of antibacterial agents in children and neonates in 2019 by using World Health Organization (WHO) Access, Watch, Reserve and Not-recommended (AWaRe) and typical anatomical/therapeutic/chemical (ATC) in this study.Methods:The cross-sectional method was adopted.A multi-center cross-sectional survey was conducted on one day from September to December 2019.The information of all inpatients taking antibiotics was uploaded to the network-based data collection system (https: //garpec-31.mobilemd.cn/login.aspx? relogin=true). This study covered 13 hospitals from 10 provinces and cities in China.All hospitalized children in the Respiratory Department, Infectious Disease Department, General Surgery Department, Pediatric Intensive Care Units, Neonatal Intensive Care Units and Neonatology joined in this survey.The clinically used antibacterial agents were classified by AWaRe and ATC, and the AWaRe and ATC distributions of antibacterial agents prescribed for Chinese children and neonates were described.Results:Of the 2 644 antibiotic prescriptions included from 13 hospitals, 2 134 (80.71%) were for children and 510 (19.29%) were for neonates.Of all antibiotic prescriptions, there were 368 (13.92%) Access antibiotics prescriptions, 1 973 (74.62%) Watch prescriptions, 60 (2.27%) Reserve prescriptions and 243 (9.19%) Not-recommended prescriptions.The top-five antibiotics prescribed for children and neonates were third-generation cephalosporins (1 056, 39.94%), macrolides (492, 18.61%), carbapenems (275, 10.40%), beta lactam-beta lactamase inhibitors (246, 9.30%), and second-generation cephalosporins (136, 5.14%). The use ratios of Access, Watch, Reserve and Not-recommended antibiotics in each center ranged from 0 to 30.00%, 36.67% to 97.20%, 0 to 17.02% and 0 to 33.33%, respectively.In 1 360 antibiotic prescriptions for children and neonates with pneumonia, there were 152 (11.18%) Access antibiotics, 1 051 (77.28%) Watch antibiotics, 37 (2.72%) Reserve antibiotics, and 120 (8.82%) Not-recommended antibiotics.The top-five antibiotics prescribed for children with pneumonia were third-generation cephalosporins (522, 38.38%), macrolides (388, 28.53%), beta lactam-beta lactamase inhibitors (141, 10.37%), carbapenems (117, 8.6%) and penicillins (49, 3.60%).Conclusions:Watch antibiotics and broad spectrum antibiotics such as third-generation cephalosporins and macrolides prone to induce resistance are the main antibacterial agents used in Chinese children and neonates with pneumonia.Broad-spectrum antibiotics may be overused in Chinese children and neonates.

[摘 要] 目的：探讨橙花叔醇通过Wnt-β-catenin通路抑制黑色素瘤A-375和WM-115细胞恶性生物学行为的分子机制。方法: 体外培养黑色素瘤细胞A-375和WM-115，用不同浓度的橙花叔醇处理，采用SRB法和克隆形成实验、FCM术、Transwell实验和细胞划痕实验、DCFH-DA染色法、qPCR和WB法分别检测橙花叔醇对A-375和WM-115细胞的增殖能力、细胞周期和凋亡、迁移能力、活性氧（ROS）水平和Wnt-β-catenin通路及其下游相关基因和相关蛋白表达的影响。利用ULCAN和GEPIA2数据库分析黑色素瘤中Wnt-β-catenin通路的激活与患者预后的关系。结果：与对照组比较，橙花叔醇处理组A-375和WM-115细胞的增殖能力受明显抑制（均P<0.01）、细胞周期阻滞于G2/M期（P<0.05或P<0.01）、细胞凋亡率增加（均P<0.01）、迁移能力降低（P<0.05或P<0.01）、ROS水平升高（均P<0.01）、Wnt-β-catenin通路被抑制而其下游基因和蛋白表达明显上调（均P<0.01）。数据库数据分析显示，WNT1基因高表达患者OS低于低表达患者（P<0.01）。结论：橙花叔醇通过上调A-375和WM-115细胞中ROS水平影响Wnt-β-catenin通路，从而抑制其恶性生物学行为；Wnt-β-catenin通路可能是黑色素瘤治疗的潜在靶点。

ObjectiveTo determine the distribution of various antibiotic resistance genes （ARGs） in raw water from drinking water source， and to explore the correlation between the ARGs and common carbapenem-resistant and multidrug-resistant bacteria isolated from drinking water source， so as to provide scientific evidence for improving the safety of urban drinking water. MethodsA total of 30 raw water samples were collected from a major drinking water source in Shanghai in 2020. Bacterial strains were selectively cultured on Columbia blood agar medium containing 1 μg·μL^-1 meropenem， and then identified by MALDI-TOF-MS mass spectrometry system. Minimum inhibitory concentration （MIC） of the strains was detected by broth microdilution method. The water samples were filtered through a 0.45 μm filter membrane and diversity of ARGs was determined by using high-throughput metagenomic sequencing. ResultsA total of 64 strains of carbapenem-resistant bacteria were isolated from the water samples， including Stenotrophomonas maltophilia， Enterococcus faecium， Pseudomonas aeruginosa， Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae， which were resistant to a variety of common antibiotics. Using metagenomic sequencing，1 244 ARGs were identified. The relative average abundance of the top 100 ARGs accounted for 96.1%， and that of the multidrug-resistant ARGs accounted for 63.41%. Furthermore， the multidrug-resistant ARGs were mainly adeJ， mexT， adeC， oprM， mexF， mdfA， mexB， mdtK， adeK， etc. Using Spearman's correlation， five multidrug-resistant bacteria isolated from the drinking water source were significantly associated with the ARGs. ConclusionRelative abundance of multidrug-resistant ARGs is high in raw water from main drinking water source. The five isolated carbapenem-resistant and multidrug-resistant bacteria are significantly correlated with the ARGs. It warrants strengthening the rational and standardized application of antibiotics to protect water resources and ensure the safety of drinking water.

ObjectiveTo provide technical support for the molecular surveillance of pathogenic bacteria strains carrying mobile colistin resistance-1 （mcr⁃1） gene isolate from inlet of wastewater treatment plants （WWTP）. MethodsThe Enterobacteriaceae strains carrying mcr⁃1 resistance gene isolate from inlet of WWTP during April 1 to June 30， 2023 in Shanghai were cultured on blood-rich and SS culture medium and were identified using a mass spectrometry analyzer. The mcr⁃1 gene and copy number were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Drug susceptibility test was performed by microbroth dilution method. The copy numbers of Escherichia coli carrying mcr⁃1 gene isolated from wastewater and human fecel were statistically analyzed by SPSS 25.0. ResultsA total of 14 strains carrying the mcr⁃1 gene were isolated from 49 WWTP samples， and the positive isolation rate was 28.6%， including 12 non-diarrheal E. coli strains and 2 Klebsiella pneumoniae strains. The drug susceptibility results showed that all 14 strains were multi-drug resistant bacteria. They were all sensitive to imipenem and tigecycline， but were ampicillin- and cefazolin-resistant. There was no significant difference in the copy number between human-sourced diarrheal E. coli and wastewater-sourced non-diarrheal E. coli （t=0.647， P>0.05）. ConclusionThe isolation and identification of strains carrying the mcr⁃1 gene from inlet of WWTP samples were firstly established in Shanghai. The multi-drug resistance among the isolated strains is severe. To effectively prevent and control the spread of colistin-resistant bacteria， more attention should be paid to the surveillance of mcr⁃1 gene.
