Objective To analyze 5S ribosomal DNA (5S rDNA) sequences of two Trichinella isolates from Guangxi. Methods The fragments of 5S rDNA were obtained by PCR from the isolates of Debao and Nandan, and sequencing was made for the PCR products. Homogeneity, genetic distance matrix and phylogenetic tree were analyzed by related software. 5S rDNA sequences of the two isolates were compared separately with those of Trichinella species in GenBank. Results 5S rDNA sequences of three Trichinella isolates (Debao, Nandan and T.spiralis) showed the same length at 695 bp. There were 4 variable positions. The homogeneities of Debao and Nandan isolates with T.spiralis were 99.0% and 99.1% respectively. The homogeneities between Debao isolate and Nandan isolate was 98.8%. Compared with other Trichinella isolates in GenBank, they were all less than 94.2%. The evolutionary distance among isolates of Debao and Nandan and T.spiralis was 0.014. Meanwhile, the evolutionary distances between the Guangxi isolates and other Trichinella isolates in GenBank were more than 0.056. Phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that two isolates of Guangxi and T.spiralis located at the same node, revealing a close relationship. Bootstrap confidence values in two phylogenetic trees were 96 and 99, respectively. Conclusion The two Trichinella isolates of Guangxi show a high homogeneity with T.spiralis,locate at the same nodes in phylogenetic tree,suggesting that the Debao and Nandan Trichinella isolates be identified as T.spiralis.

Lignin degradation products are toxic to microorganisms, which is one of the bottlenecks for fuel ethanol production. We studied the effects of phenolic ketones (4-hydroxyacetophenone, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-acetophenone and 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxy-acetophenone) derived from lignin degradation on ethanol fermentation of xylose and cellular lipid composition of Pichia stipitis NLP31. Ethanol and the cellular fatty acid of yeast were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Results indicate that phenolic ketones negatively affected ethanol fermentation of yeast and the lower molecular weight phenolic ketone compound was more toxic. When the concentration of 4-hydroxyacetophenone was 1.5 g/L, at fermentation of 24 h, the xylose utilization ratio, ethanol yield and ethanol concentration decreased by 42.47%, 5.30% and 9.76 g/L, respectively, compared to the control. When phenolic ketones were in the medium, the ratio of unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids (UFA/SFA) of yeast cells was improved. When 1.5 g/L of three aforementioned phenolic ketones was added to the fermentation medium, the UFA/SFA ratio of yeast cells increased to 3.03, 3.06 and 3.61, respectively, compared to 2.58 of the control, which increased cell membrane fluidity and instability. Therefore, phenolic ketones can reduce the yeast growth, increase the UFA/SFA ratio of yeast and lower ethanol productivity. Effectively reduce or remove the content of lignin degradation products is the key to improve lignocellulose biorefinery.

Objective To investigate the antimicrobial resistance of clinical isolates from Renji Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine during the period from 2005 to 2015.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out according to Kirby-Bauer method.Results were analyzed according to CLSI 2015 breakpoints.Results A total of 55 155 nonduplicate clinical isolates were collected from 2005 to 2015.The top 5 most frequently isolated bacterial species were E.coli (15.0％),P.aeruginosa (14.0％),A.baumannii (11.9％),K.pneumoniae (11.8％) and S.aureus (10.2％).Gram positive cocci and gram negative organisms accounted for 35.8％ and 64.2％,respectively.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in S.aureus (MRSA) and coagulase negative Staphylococcus (MRCNS) was 70.2％ (3 967/5 650) and 83.2％ (4 997/6 004).No staphylococcal strain was resistant to vancomycin,teicoplanin or linezolid.Fifteen strains of Enterococcus were found resistant to vancomycin.The average prevalence of ESBLs-producing strains was 70.4％ (5 843/8 300) in E.coli,53.5％ (3 500/6 539) in Klebsiella spp.and 44.1％ (557/1 263) in P mirabilis.A few carbapenemaseproducing K.pneumoniae strains were identified for the first time in 2012 with the prevalence of 0.6％ (4/656),and the prevalence hit high (30.1％,142/472) in 2015.The prevalence of carbapenemase-producing E.coli was 2.0％ (16/787) in 2015,and almost zero in the other years.The prevalence of extensively drug-resistant A.baumannii and P.aeruginosa was 39.1％ (2 566/6 556) and 4.0％ (308/7 704),respectively.Extensively drug-resistant strain was identified in 9 of the strains of 189 E.aerogenes isolates.Conclusions Bacterial resistance is still on the rise,which poses a major challenge to clinical antimicrobial therapy,especially the multi-drug resistant and extensively drug resistant bacteria.

Objective To explore the effect of chemotherapy on serum IL-6 expression in cancer patients with T2DM. Methods Eighty patients were divided into the malignant tumor group with T 2DM (n=40) and the malignant tumor group without T2DM (n=40).All the patients were given two cycles of chemotherapy .2 ml of fasting venous blood in the morn-ing before and after the day of chemotherapy was collected .Then the serum was separated .Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)was used to measure the level changes of serum IL-6.20 cases of healthy people were selected for compari-son.Results The expression of serum IL-6 in groups with or without T2DM was significantly higher than in the normal control group before the first cycle of chemotherapy (P<0.05).The expression of serum IL-6 was decreased in the different-cancer group with T2DM after the first cycle of chemotherapy .But the level was increased after the second cycle of chemo-therapy (P<0.05).The expression of serum IL-6 showed a continuous decrease after the first and the second cycle of chemotherapy in the group without T2DM(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion The expression level of serum IL-6 declines after the first cycle chemotherapy in the malignant tumor groups with T2DM or without T2DM but rises in the malignant tumor group with T2DM after the second cycle chemotherapy .

Objective·To analyze high-risk factors of infection of multidrug resistance Klebsiellapneumonia (MDR-Kpn) and difference of therapeutic effects for different treatments.Methods·One hundred and ten MDR-Kpn strains were collected from a hospital.K-B slip diffusion method was utilized to detect the drug susceptibility of all the strains.Based on electronic medical records system,MDR-Kpn infected group included 51 patients and control group was picked out,including 51 patients as well (byl:1 ratio basing on the infected group according to the rules of under the same department,similar basic disease and all the patients in the control group isolated with the strain of Kpn).Thirty-nine clinical information of MDR-Kpn infected and control groups are collected to make single-factor analysis of high risk factors of the infection with MDR-Kpn.Multi-factor analysis was utilized between MDR-Kpn infected and control groups.The lasting time of different antibiotics used in MDR-Kpn infected patients were made statistics between effective and inefficacy patients.Results·Drug susceptibility test showed that sulfonamide,phosphonomycin and amikacin,were the three most sensitive antibiotics for 110 MDR-Kpn strains.12 clinical information,such as blood transfusion、sputum suction、invasive ventilation were all high-risk factors for the infection of MDR-Kpn (P＜0.05).The lasting time during with carbapenems (P=0.025) was statistically different between effective (n=28)and non-effective group (n=23) of MDR-Kpn infection patients.Conclusion·Controlling and eliminating high-risk factors do help to protect and decrease the infection of MDR-Kpn.Using carbapenems correctly has great influence on prognosis.

Objective To analyze the epidemic characteristics of the imported malaria cases in Guangxi Zhuang Autono?mous Region in 2014,so as to assess the transmission risk and explore the prevention and control strategy. Methods The data of the malaria epidemic situation in the network direct report system of Guangxi in 2014 and the annual report of malaria epidem?ic situation in 14 cities were collected. The epidemiological information of the imported malaria cases was analyzed. Results A total of 184 malaria patients were reported in Guangxi in 2014,with a descent rate of 85.29%when compared to that in 2013 (1 251 cases),and the incidence rate was 0.35/100 000. All the cases were imported from abroad,and four species of Plasmodi?um were found in their blood samples. The number of falciparum malaria cases was the most(49.46%),followed by the ovale malaria cases(32.07%). All the cases were distributed in 32 counties(districts)of 11 cities ,and 65.76%of them were distrib?uted in Shanglin County. Most of the cases were male(98.37%),and those aged in 20-49 years accounted for 87.50%. The im?ported cases came from 14 countries of Africa(86.41%)and 2 countries of Southeast Asia(13.59%),in which,48.37%of the cases were imported from Garner. The main occupation of the cases in abroad was gold mining work(86.96%). The cases were reported all the year around,with no obvious seasonality. The interval time of back home to attack of the patients with tertian ma?laria and ovale malaria was longer. Conclusion Africa and Southeast Asia is the main source of imported malaria cases in Guangxi,and the migrant workers returning home may have the risk of malaria recurrence,which should be paid enough atten?tion to.

Objective To investigate esophageal motility characteristics in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients with or without dysphagia by high-resolution manometry and 24 h esophageal pH monitoring.Methods From August 2012 to November 2015,GERD patients with symptoms of acid reflux and heart burn who received 24 h esophageal pH monitoring were collected.The differences in esophageal motility were further analyzed between the GERD patients with dysphagia and without dysphagia.Student's t test,x2 test and Fisher's exact test were performed for comparison analysis.Results A total of 194 patients received 24 h esophageal pH monitoring and diagnosed as GERD,and at the same period completed esophageal high-resolution manometry.Among them,there were 17 GERD patients (8.8％) with dysphagia and 177 patients (91.2％) without dysphagia.The main classification of esophageal motility disorder of GERD patients with dysphagia was severe esophageal motility disorders (5/ 17),but the motility type of GERD patients without dysphagia patients mainly was mild esophageal motility disorders (10.2％,18/177).The integrated relaxation pressure,residual pressure of lower esophageal sphincter (LES),and contraction range at 3 cm and 11 cm above LES of GERD patients with dysphagia were all higher than those of patients without dysphagia ((9.70±0.98) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs (7.02±0.30) mmHg,(12.75±1.35) mmHg vs (9.18±0.42) mmHg,(106.80± 11.97) mmHg vs (70.82±3.48) mmHg,(82.66±10.70) mmHg vs (56.93±3.11) mmHg),and the differences were statistically significant (t=2.601,2.488,2.887,2.308,all P＜0.05).Distal esophageal contraction integral score of GERD patients with dysphagia was significantly higher than that of GERD patients without dysphagia ((2 128.94±310.47) mmHg · cm · s vs (1 029.88±90.16) mmHg · cm · s),and the difference was statistically significant (t =3.400,P =0.001).However,residual pressure of upper esophageal sphincter was significantly lower than that of patients without dysphagia ((2.84±1.21) mmHg vs (6.18±0.38) mmHg,t=-2.650,P=0.009).Conclusions Esophageal motility disorder of GERD patients with dysphagia is severer than that of patients without dysphagia.High resolution esophageal manometry can provide objective evidence of esophageal dynamics of GERD patients,which can guide the diagnosis and treatment of GERD.
