Journal of Jilin University(Medicine Edition) 2018;44(2):346-349
Objective: To investigate the expressions of hypoxia-inducible factor-la (HIF-la) and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in the placenta tissue of the patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome (PIH), and to elucidate the clinical significances of their expressions in the placenta tissue of the patients with PIH. Methods: Twenty-two cases of placenta tissue of the PIH patients (PIH group) and eighteen cases of placenta tissue of the normal pregnant women (control group) were selected. The expressions of HIF-la and HSP70 were detected by immunohistochemical method. The differences of potive expressions rates of HIF-la and HSP70 in placenta tissue of the PIH patients and the normal pregnant women and their relationships in placenta tissue of the PIH patients were analyzed. Results: The positive expression rate of HIF-1α in placenta tissue of the patients in PIH group (81.8%) was higher than that of the normal pregnant women in control group (38.9%) (χ2=7.785, P= 0.005), and the positive expression rate of HSP70 in placenta tissue of the patients in PIH group 90.9%) was higher than that of the normal pregnant women in control group 55.6%) (χ2=6.599, P=0.010). Eighteen cases of placenta tissue with HIF-la positive expression in the PIH patients had HSP70 positive expression (100.0%); among four cases of placenta tissue with HIF-la negative expression, two cases had HSP70 negative expression 50.0%); their expressions in placenta tissue of the PIH patients had positive correlation (r=0.671, P=0.001). Conclusion: The expressions of HIF-la and HSP70 in placenta tissue of the PIH patients are higher, and they have positive correlation.

Objective To explore an effective evaluation method for students' self-and peer-assess-ment. Methods The students of 6 groups participating in extracurricular teaching activities were selected as research subject. Traditional method (final score = mean score of group/2 + teacher's score/2) and mean difference method [final score=teacher's score-(mean difference of group-mean difference of all groups)] were used to calculate final score of each group, and effect of two methods were compared. Results Scores of most groups were higher than the teacher's scores, and high scores were given by group 3 in self- and peer-assessment. The final score of all groups were higher than teacher's scores in traditional method. Compared with teacher's scores, final scores increased significantly in group 1, 4, 5 below mean difference, final score decreased significantly in group 2, 3 above mean difference, and final score did not differ in group 6 equal to mean difference in mean difference method. Conclusion The mean difference method can reflect the effect of student's self- and peer-assessment, and guide student to make objective and accurate evaluation. It is a more reasonable and scientific evaluation method for self-and peer-assessment.

Objective To explore the mechanism of resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics of Moraxella catarrhalis (Me) in children with lower respiratory tract infection, to guide the rational and objective administration and provide measures of avoiding changes of antimicrobial resistance of Mc. Methods Total 40 strains Mc with positive beta-lactamase were taken from lower respiratory tract of hospitalized children with pneumonia from July to December in 2006. Polymerase chain reaction technology was used to amplify genes. The DNA product of the 40 strains were digested by restriction enzyme (BCgI). The expression and type of the drug resistance gene (BRO) for ampicillin according to different strap in agarose gel electrophoresis were analyzed. Clinical characteristics of different genotype was studied. Results Among 40 strains Me with positive Nitrocefin disk, positive BRO-1 gene was 90.0% while positive BRO-2 gene was 7.5%, and another 2.5% was neither positive BRO-1 gene nor positive BRO-2 gene. BRO-3 or TEM-1 enzyme produced may be the possible cause. The diameter of inhibition zone to beta-lactam antibiotics of Mc was smaller in positive BRO-1 gene than that Mc of positive BRO-2 gene. Conclusions BRO-1 gene was the main genotype of Mc with beta-laetamase positive in our study.

Objective To construct recombinant adenovirus Ad/MDC-VP1 and investigate its im-muno-boosting effect of the mice primed with the experimental DNA vaccine against Coxsackievirus infection. Methods The recombinant adenovirus Ad/MDC-VP1 was constructed and packaged. The Western blot analysis was used to verify the target protein. BALB/c mice were divided into four groups: Ad/MDC-VP1 group, pcDNA3/MDC-VP1 group, pcDNA3/MDC-VP1 prime-Ad/MDC-VP1 boost group and PBS group. The mice in each group were immunized intramuscularly. The titers of serum IgG and neutralizing antibody were tested by ELISA and trace neutralization assay, respectively. The lymphocytes proliferation activity and specific CTL cytotoxic activity were tested by CCK-8 assay. The mice in each group were challenged with le-thal dose of Coxsackievirus, and the assay of the serum virus titers and the observation of protection efficacy against Coxsackievirus infection were carried out. Results The recombinant adenovirus Ad/MDC-VP1 was successfully constructed and the target protein was expressed. It was observed that the titers of CVB3 VP1 specific antibody, lymphocyte stimulation index, CTL cytotoxicity activities and protection rate of the pcDNA3/MDC-VP1 prime-Ad/MDC-VP1 boost group were much higher than those of the rest groups( P < 0.05), and the titer of serum virus was lower after CVB3 challenged ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Both the cellular and humoral immune responses in mice could been significantly enhanced by the pcDNA3/MDC-VP1 prime-Ad/MDC-VP1 boost strategy.

Objective To determine the drug-resistance rate of Enterococci isolated from patients of 5 padiatric hospitals located at different areas in China,and to investigate the distribution of resistance genes ermB,mefA,tetM and the integrase gene intTn of Tn1545 in Enterococci.Methods The antimicrobial susceptibility to 8 antibiotics of 2 216 Enteroeocei isolates was determined.PCR was used to detect the macrolide resistance genes ermB and mefA,tetracycline resistance genes tetM,and the integrase gene int-Tn of Tn1545.Results The resistance rates to erythromycin,ampicillin,gentamicin and teicoplanin were 86.5%,48.0%,60.5% and 0.7%,respectively.All isolated Enterococci straim were found sensitive to vancomycin.Of the detected 225 strains,70.7% of the 225 detected strains carried ermB gene while 75.1% of them carried tetracycline resistance gene tetM:only one strain had mefA.The presence of ermB gene in erythromycin MIC>256 mg/L straim group(95.7%)strains was higher than those in erythromycin MIC<256 mg/L group(2.5%).The int-Tn gene was detected in 40.9%(92/225)of the 225 test strains.The presence of ermB gene in int-Tn positive group strains was higher(84.8%)than those in int-Tn negative strains group(60.9%).So did the tetM in int-Tn positive group(83.7%)compared with those in int-Tn negative group(70.0%).Conclusions Enterococci sbowed a high resistance rate to the antibiotics we monitored,especially to erythromycin;but still very senstive to glycopeptide antibiotics. Resistance to macrolide in Enterococci collected from clinical in five Children's Hospital was generally mediated by methylation of 23S rRNA via ermB methylase. Enterococci resistance to tetracycline was predominantly due to ribosomal protection encoded by tetM. There was a strong relationship of the ermB and tetM genes with Tn1545-related elements.

Objective:
To evaluate the intervention effects of response to heatwave in communities of four cities, China.
Methods:
Baseline survey on heatwave and climate change related knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) was conducted in the pilot communities in Harbin, Nanjing, Shenzhen and Chongqing, using face-to-face questionnaire interview in November, 2011 to November, 2013. Finally, 1 604 residents were interviewed. Intervention measures were implemented in summers of 2013 and 2014, including delivering early warning information of heatwave health risk and launching health education and promotion. The second survey was conducted in same communities using the same questionnaire and sampling method as baseline survey in November, 2014, and 1 640 residents were interviewed. The Chi-square test was used to compare the demographic characteristics and KAP of community residents between before and after intervention, and the factors that affected the intervention effect were selected by logistic multiple stepwise regression model.
Results:
The age of the residents interviewed before and after intervention was (46.4 ± 15.5) years and (45.0 ± 15.9) years, respectively. Overall, the residents' awareness rates of heatwave before and after intervention were 70.5% (1 131/1 604) and 82.9% (1 359/1 640) (χ2=69.40,
