Objective To determine the ESBLs of Klebsiella pneumoniae and ESBL typing by molecular genetic procedures. Methods MIC test and ESBLs confirmation test were taken by agar dilution method in 80 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated in Beijing area from July 1999 to December 1999. To the 20 ESBLs positive conjugates isoelectric focusing was given. And nucleotide sequencing was analysed to conjugate strain CK23. Results 28 (35%) of the 80 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae produced ESBLs. In the 28 strains, 20 were successfully done with conjugation of resistant plasmid. Isoelectric focusing results revealed that 13 (65%) of the 20 strains produced an ESBLs protein with a pI of 8.8 with or without additional pI 7.6 and pI 5.4. These ? lactamases were all inhibited by clavulanite acid. The strains with pI=8.8 protein were highly resistant to cefotaxime and ceftriaxone but were susceptible or intermediate to ceftazidime. We picked CK23 strain out from 13 conjugates for gene cloning by the primers designed for bla CTX M and nucleotide sequencing. The results showed that the ESBLs gene in CK23 was CTX M, highly similar to CTX M 3 but had 3 amino acids, which were Glu39Gly, Leu122Pro, Asp278His. Conclusions 28 (35%) of the 80 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae produced ESBLs. Resistant plasmid successfully conjugated in 20 of the 28 ESBLs producing strains. 13 of the 20 (65%) conjugates pruduced a pI =8.8 ESBLs,which was CTX M ESBLs,with only 3 amino acids different from CTX M 3. This paper indicated that a type of CTX M ESBLs existed in Klebsiella pneumoniae in Beijing, which specifically confers resistance to cefotaxime.

Objective To study the effect of different concentration of tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) on expression of the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) mRNA on human dental follicle cells in vitro, and investigate the role of TNF-? in osteoclast formation during tooth eruption. Methods The 5th passage of primary cultured human dental follicle cells were treated with 0 (control group), 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100ng/ml TNF-?, respectively, for 6 hours. Total RNA was then isolated from human dental follicle cells and subjected to RANKL and OPG mRNA assay by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique. The relative expression levels of RANKL and OPG mRNA were normalized to ?-actin gene expression. Results The mRNA expression of OPG in human dental follicle cells with 5ng/ml TNF-? treatment was down regulated significantly compared with that in control group (P

Objective To study the mutations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa oprD gene in Imipenem-resistant clinical isolates. Methods Random amplified polymorphic DNA typing(RAPD) was carried out to analyse the homology in 10 Imipenem-resistant clinical isolates. Pseudomonas aeruginosa oprD gene in 10 Imipenem-resistant clinical isolates were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and sequenced. Results Ten Imipenem-resistant clinical isolates were divided into four different clones which can not produce metallo ?-lactamase. As compared with sequence X63152, oprD gene of Pseudomonas aeruginosa varied greatly. The aberration rates exceed 50%. There were multiple point mutations within 276~387 bp coding region of 30, 11, 9, 20, 31 strains. Due to the mutations of 308 bp G→C and 344 bp C→A, threonine and diaminocaproic acid were replaced by serine and threonine respectively. The DNA deletion of 393~412 bp in oprD gene contributes to the frame shift mutation in the following nucleotide sequence. The deletion of 264~273 bp in the coding region of oprD gene in 13 and 21 clone strains leads to frame shift mutations forming terminal codon TAA(319~321 bp).Base substitutions and multiple point mutations were obvious in the coding regions of 1 and 22 clone strains. Their aberration rates were 54.03% and 74.89% respectively. Conclusions The mutations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa oprD gene in Imipenem-resistant clinical isolates are various.

Objective To investigate the pathogenesis role of aquaporin 3 and aquaporin 9 in idiopathic polyhydramnios by detecting their expression and distribution in fetal membranes and placenta.Methods Twenty-one of term pregnancy women with idiopathic polyhydramnios were enrolled as patient group matched with 30 women with normal term pregnancy as control group.The expression and localization of aquaporin 3 and aquaporin 9 in fetal membranes and placenta were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction and streptavidin peroxidase immunohistochemiscal staining.Results (1)The mRNA expressions of aquaporin 3 and aquaporin 9 were detected in amnion,chorion and placental tissue in both patient group and control group.Both aquaporin 3 and aquaporin 9 were demonstrated positive staining in the amnion epithelia,chorion cytotrophoblasts and placental trophoblast.(2)The ratio of aquaporin 3 and aquaporin 9 mRNA expressions in amnion in patient group comparing to those in control group were 5.00 and 3.25,while in chorion they were 2.03 and 2.08.When compared with those in amnion and chorion of control group,there was a significant difference(P<0.01).However,the relative change fold of aquaporin 3 and aquaporin 9 in placental trophoblast in patient group were decreased in comparison of those in control group,which also showed statistical difference(P<0.01).(3)The expression of aquaporin 3 and aquaporin 9 protein in anmion were 7.5 ±2. 0 and 11.1 ± 1.8 in patient group, while they were 5.3 ± 1. 6 and 5.6 ± 2. 3 in control group. In chorion, the expression of aquaporin 3 and aquaporin 9 protein was 7.5±2. 0 and 10. 0 ±1.6 in patient group, respectively, while in control group, they were 5.4 ±2.2 and 5.6±2. 1. When compared with those proteins in control group, it exhibited statistical difference (P<0.05). However, in placental trophoblast of patient greup,the expression of aquaporin 3 and aquaporin 9 protein were 3.5±1.4and 4. 0±2. 5, respectively, which were significantly decreased than 5.6±1. 3 and 7. 1±2. 9 in control group(P< 0. 05). Conclusions The alterations of aquaporin 3 and aquaporin 9 expressions in fetal membrane and placenta might be an adaptive response to idiopathic polyhydramnios. Further investigation should be needed to clarify the regulatory mechanism of aquaporin 3 and aquaporin 9 expressions.
