Objective To develop a sensitive, specific, rapid and easy method for detecting E. coli O157 : H7 and other Shiga toxin-producing E. coli in food and clinical specimens. Methods A circular probe and capture probe specific for Shiga toxin-2 (stx2) gene had been synthesized and was used for determining the sensitivity of ramification amplification method (RAM). Different serotypes which contained stx2 gene, including an E. coli O157 : H7, an E. coli O46 : H38, an E. coli O111 : NM, an E. coli O22 : H8 and E. coli ATCC23716 (stx2 gene negative) were used for determining the specificity. All strains were detected by RAM to determine whether they contained stx2 gene. Real-time RAM was further studied to detect stx2 gene. Results The lowest number targets detected by RAM assay was 10 copies of stx2, indicating that RAM assay was as sensitive as conventional PCR. The result of specificity showed that different serotypes of strains were all positive for stx2 gene, while nonpathogenic E. coli ATCC23716 was negative. Among 32 isolates, 28 STEC isolates containing stx2 gene were positive by RAM assay, while others were negative. The RAM results were 100% in concordance with that of PCR. The real-time RAM results also showed that as many as 10 bacteria can be detected and the time of appearance of detectable signal was depended on the target concentration. Conclusion RAM assay can offer an alternative method for PCR to detect E. coli O157 : H7 and STEC in all types of specimens because of its simplicity and isothermal amplification.

Objective To examine the clinical factors associated with postoperative outcome in dementia combined with cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related intracerebral hemorrhage (CAA-ICH). Methods The clinical data of 25 surgical patients of dementia combined with CAA-ICH were retrospectively analyzed. The postoperative short-term effects and long-term effects were evaluated at the 30 d and 6 months after operation according to the modified Rankin score (MRS), and the influencing factors were analyzed. Results Among the 25 patients, eusemia was in 6 cases. Age ≥ 75 years, Glasgow coma score (GCS) ≤ 8 scores on admission, hypertension, postoperative anemia, pulmonary diseases, midline shift were the influencing factors of postoperative short-term effects (P < 0.05 or <0.01). Twenty-two patients were followed up for 6 months, and ensemia was in 9 cases. Age≥75 years, GCS ≤ 8 scores on admission, hypertension, postoperative anemia, hypoproteinemia and pulmonary diseases were the influencing factors of postoperative long-term effects (P<0.01 or<0.05). Conclusions Preoperative assessment is important for the patients of dementia combined with CAA-ICH. Age ≥ 75 years, GCS ≤ 8 socres on admission, hypertension, postoperative anemia, pulmonary diseases, midline shift are associated with poor short-term effects; age ≥ 75 years, GCS ≤ 8 scores on admission,hypertension, postoperative anemia, hypoproteinemia and pulmonary diseases are associated with poor long-term effects.

L9 (3(4)) orthogonal experiment was used to design the extraction technology of compound Clematidis Radix spray. Weight coefficients of active ingredients and dry extract rate were solved by information entropy. Support vector machine (SVM) was established and the model parameters were optimized through the genetic algorithm. Grid search algorithm was used for optimization of extraction technology of Clematidis Radix spray. The optimal extraction technology was to extract Clematidis Radix spray in water with 6 times the weight of herbal medicine for 3 times, with 2 h once. Bias of value between real and predicted by SVM was 1.23%. SVM was compared with traditional intuitive analysis of orthogonal design. It indicates that the new method used to optimize the extraction parameters of compound Clematidis Radix spray is more accurate and reliable.
