Chinese Journal of Microbiology and Immunology 2016;36(3):166-170
Objective To analyze the genotypes and the variation trend of rubella virus strains circulating in Beijing and to provide a scientific guidance for the prevention and control of rubella.Methods The viral nucleic acids were extracted from diagnostic pharyngeal swab specimens collected by Beijing rubella laboratory.The 739 nucleotides of rubella E1 gene were amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR) .The amplified products were sequenced and analyzed.Genotypes of the rubella virus strains circulating in Beijing and variations in their nucleotides and amino acids were analyzed by comparing with those of the WHO recommended rubella virus reference strains.Results The target nucleotide se-quences of 10 rubella virus strains were obtained for molecular epidemiological study.All of the 10 strains belonged to 2B genotype and formed an independent branch according to the phylogenetic tree based on the 739 nucleotide fragments of E1 gene.Most of the nucleotide mutations occurred in the 10 strains were non-sense mutations.The amino acid sequences of the circulating strains were highly conservative.No significant mutations in the antigenic sites were identified in the rubella virus strains circulating in Beijing except that one amino acid mutation from Ser to Phe in the No.282 amino acid of E1 protein was identified in the hemag-glutination inhibition and neutralizing site of one strain.Conclusion This study indicated that the rubella virus genotype 2B epidemic strains were isolated in Beijing.

The earliest and the most common metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occur in the intrahepatic portal venous system, which indicates its worst prognosis. In 28 HCC patients with intraportal tumor thrombus, we employed 2 procedures, ie. the transcatheter hepatic arterial embolization(THAE), transcatheter superior mesenteric or splenic arterial infusion (TSAI) and portal vein embolization (PVE) in 12 cases, and THAE alone in 16 cases. In the former group, tumor size reduced more than 50% in 8 cases (partial remission PR), in particular tumor thrombus disappeared in 3 and decreased in size in 8; whereas in the latter group, PR was achieved in 3 only, without change size of the intraportal tumor thrombus in all 16 cases (P

Objective To study transmission characteristics of Acinetobacter baumannii (A.baumannii )clone and clinical features of infected patients in a respiratory intensive care unit (RICU),so as to guide the effective pre-vention and control of A.baumannii transmission.Methods 40 A.baumannii strains isolated from RICU patients were performed homology analysis by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE)and cluster analysis,relationship of strains was determined,antimicrobial resistance and clinical data were analyzed.Results 40 A.baumannii strains were divided into 11 genotypes(A-K),the main epidemic strains were type A,B and E.The resistant rate to imipen-em was the lowest(70.00%),the next was levofloxacin (77.50%).The average age of 40 infected patients was 67 years old,the average length of hospital stay was 41 days,12 patients died because of invalid treatment.There was overlapping hospitalization among patients infected with type A and E strains;among patients infected with type B strain,there was no overlapping hospitalization among the last 6 and first 6 infected patients.Conclusion The main epidemic strains of A.baumannii were type A,B and E,antimicrobial resistant rate is high;the infected patients are with high average age and long length of hospital stay.It is important to reduce the transmission of A.baumannii through rational use of antimicrobial agents,strict aseptic operation,and intensified disinfection and sterilization of hospital environment and medical devices.

Objective To study the expression and distribution of protein STAT3 in the retina after optic nerve transection. Methods Immunocytochemistry, Western blot and computer image analysis techniques were used. Results After optic nerve transection, STAT3 levels in the retina was highly up-regulated, the peak of which appeared at day 1 postaxotomy, then decreased gradually to the normal level 5 days later. More translocations of STAT3 to the nucleus were seen.Conclusion JAK-STAT signal transduction pathway was involved in the pathological processes in the retinal after transection of the optic nerve.

Objective To explore the correlation between the amount of residual undifferentiated embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in embryoid bodies and its tumorigenicity.Methods Mouse R1 ESCs were cultured in suspension to form embryoid bodies (EBs).Ten days later,EBs were digested into single cells and then re-plated in standard ESCs culture condition.The residual undifferentiated embryonic stem cells surface maker SSEA-1 was examined by flow cytometry in EBs.The morphology of residual undifferentiated cells in EBs were observed,meanwhile the surface marker SSEA-1 was examined by immunofluorescent staining.EBs were digested into single cells and grouped into 104,105,106,2×106,and then injected into limb muscle of nude mice.The correlation of the amount of cells and its tumorigenicity was observed.Results Residual undifferentiated ESCs were observed after EBs differentiated for 10 days,which displayed clonal morphology and expressed undifferentiated ceil markers of ESCs,such as SSEA-1.The expression rate of undifferentiated cells surface marker SSEA-1 was (13.5±0.75)% in EBs differentiated for 10 days.Only two millions single cells harvested from EBs were able to form teratoma after being injected into muscle of nude mice for 6 weeks.Mature endoderm,mesoderm and ectoderm tissues could be found in teratoma.No teratoma formed in other groups.Conclusion A certain amount residual undifferentiated ESCs still exist after differentiation of ESCs into EBs.About 2.7× 105 undifferentiated cells are able to form teratoma by iniecting into muscle of nude mice.

Objective:To explore the prognostic value of CysC and NT‐proBNP in patients with non‐ST elevation a‐cute coronary syndrome (NSTE‐ACS) .Methods :A total of 166 NSTE‐ACS patients hospitalized in our hospital from Jan 2012 to Dec 2012 were selected .They were followed up for 12 months ,then general data ,levels of CysC , NT‐proBNP ,hsCRP and cTnI etc .and incidence rate of MACE were recorded and measured .According to MACE occurrence during follow‐up or not ,156 cases were divided into non‐MACE group (n=137) and MACE group (n=19) ,risk factors for MACE in NSTE‐ACS patients were analyzed ,receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) was performed ,and the optimal cutoffs of related indexes predicting MACE occurrence in these patients were analyzed . Results :Compared with non‐MACE group ,there were significant rise in age [ (60.26 ± 10.45) years vs .(64.16 ± 11.21) years] ,levels of CysC [ (1.02 ± 0.11) mg/L vs .(1.15 ± 0.12) mg/L] ,NT‐proBNP [ (251.97 ± 89.65) pg/ml vs .(347.93 ± 107.29) pg/ml] ,hsCRP [ (14.69 ± 3.53) mg/L vs .(17.13 ± 3.68) mg/L] and cTnI [ (0.36 ± 0.46) ng/ml vs .(0.90 ± 0.88) ng/ml] in MACE group ,P<0.05 or <0.01. Multi‐factor regression analysis indica‐ted that CysC ,NT‐proBNP and cTnI levels were independent predictors for MACE in NSTE‐ACS patients ( P<0.05 or <0.01) .ROC curves of CysC ,NT‐proBNP ,cTnI and hsCRP judging prognosis were drawn , only AUC of CysC and NT‐proBNP curves were >0.7 [CysC:0.784 ,95% CI:0.687~0.881 ;NT‐proBNP:0.753 ,95% CI :0.639~0.867] , and it′s analysis indicated that CysC=1.07 mg/L and NT‐proBNP=279.60 pg/ml were their optimal cutoff predicting MACE .Kaplan‐Meier survival curves with above two cutoffs as risk stratification cutoff indicated that survival time of high risk group was significantly shorter than that of low risk group (P<0.05) .Conclusion:Serum CysC and NT‐proBNP levels are independent predictors assessing prognosis in NSTE‐ACS patients .
