Objective:The drug resistance of E.coli to fluoroquinolones is getting stronger in the recent years.This study aimed at the drug resistance of E.coli induced by fluoroquinolones in vitro,so as to provide a guidance for the rational use of antibiotics and effective control of nosocomial infections.Methods: Drug resistance was induced in vitro by a multi-step method in 10 strains of E.coli from clinical isolates with Ciprofloxacin,Levofloxacin and Gatifloxacin.The minimal inhibition concentration(MIC) of the E.coli was determined by the agar dilution method before and after the induction.Results: After in vitro induction,the E.coli acquired a high resistance(MIC ≥ 128 ?g/ml).And one drug could induce different degrees of resistance to the other two.Conclusion: The MIC of the E.coli induced by fluoroquinolones in vitro was increased by 8 to 8 205 folds compared with that before induction,which demonstrated a gradually developed resistance of E.coli strains to fluoroquinolones.

Objective To investigate contents of serum free fatty acid(FFA)in old patients with metabolic syndrome(MS)and to analyze its correlation with the components of MS.Methods Among 1 372 over 60-year-old people undergoing physical examination,169 patients with MS and 89 healthy subjects were selected as MS group and control group.The blood pressure,height,weight,waist circumference,and hip circumference were measured.Levels of fasting blood glucose,insulin,blood lipid,and serum FFA were measured.Waist-hip ratio(WHR),body mass index(BMI),and insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR)were calculated.Results The levels of waist circumference,WHR,BMI,fasting blood glucose and insulin,HOMA-IR,blood lipid,and serum FFA in MS group were significantly higher than those in control group.The levels of HDL-C were lower in MS group(P

Objective To compare the effects of intermittent high blood glucose and consistent hilgh blood glucose on pancreatic islet β-cell function and β-cell apoptosis in GK rats.Methods Twenty-two male GK rats were randomly divided into 2 groups consisting of consistent hish blood glucose group(HG)and intermittent high blood glucose group(FG).Eleven male Wistar rats were used as normal glucose controls(NG).The fluctuating high blood glucose animal model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of insulin and glucose at different time for six weeks.Intraperitoneal injection glucose tolerance test and insulin release test were performed.The area under curve of glucose(AUCg).the area under carve of insulin(AUCi)/AUCg and the ratio of insulin increment to blood glucose increment 15 min after glucose load(Δ115'/ΔG15')were calculated routinely.Then the pancreatic slides were stained with insulin antibody.The apoptotic β cells in islets were detected and quantified by the TUNEL technique.Results(1)The fasting plasma glucose and 15,30,60,and 120 min plasma glucose levels after glucose loading in FG group were significantly higher than those in control group(all P<0.01),and AUCg was also markedly increased[(1 012.14±82.62 vs 813.60±56.70)ng·ml~(-1)·h~(-1)·10~4,P<0.01].Insulin levels of FG group at 15,30,60,and 120 rain after glucose loading were significantly lower than those in HG group[(0.554± 0.18 vs 0.95±0.28.0.43±0.17 vs 0.85±0.21,0.47±0.11 vs 0.76±0.16,0.58±0.13 vs 1.08±0.26)ng/ml,P<0.05],along with decreased AUCi/AUCg and Δ115'/ΔG15'[(9.56±2.53 vs 21.36±4.16)×10~(-7);(3.95±3.45 vs 27.02±8.62)×10~(-7),both P<0.05].(2)Image analysis of pancreatic islet immunocytoehemistry showed that the insulin staining positive area,area ratio and total density of insulin positive cells per islet were significantly lower in FG group than those in HG group(P<0.05).(3)The percentage of β-cell apoptosis in the FG group was statistically higher than that in the HG group[(24.17±7.25 vs 16.55±5.11)%,P<0.01].Conclusion Compared with the consistent high blood glucose,intermittent high glucose could lead to further impairment of β-cell function and increased β-cell apoptosis may partially contribute to this process.

Objective:To study the inhibitory effect of siRNA on Heparanase (HPA) expression in SKOV3 cells. Methods:Two pairs of 21 bp reverse repeated sequence targeting HPA RNA (spaced by 9 bp nueleotide) were synthe- sized and were cloned into plasmid PGenesil-1 to construct recombinant plasmid PGenesil-1(+)-HPA expressing 2 hair- pin siRNAs.The inhibition of HPA gene was detected by RT-PCR,real-time PCR and immunohistochemical staining after PGenesil-1(+)-HPA was stably transfected into SKOV3 cells.Results:The recombinant plasmid PGenesil-1(+)-HPA (expressing 2 hairpin siRNAs) was successfully constructed.RT-PCR,real-time PCR and immunohistochemical staining showed that there was a significant decrease in HPA mRNA and protein level in experimental group compared with those in control group.Conclusion:siRNA targeting HPA mRNA can specically suppress the expression of HPA gene in SKOV3 cells;RNA interference method provides a new way for studying the role of HPA and gene therapy of cancer.

ObjectiveToexplorethedynamicchangesofoxidativestressandcytokinesinMongoliangerbilswith nonalcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD) and their significance.Methods Forty-eight healthy male gerbils were randomly divided into normal group and model group , 24 in each group .Gerbils of the model group were fed with high fat diet while those of the normal group with normal diet .Eight gerbils in each group were killed at the end of 4 w, 8 w and 16 w, respectively .MDA content and SOD , GSH-PX and T-AOC activity in the liver tissue were detected by chemical method, and serum TNF-α, INF-γand IL-10 levels were determined using liquid suspension chip .Results With the development of NAFLD , MDA content in liver increased gradually , and the MDA contents were all significantly higher than those of the normal group ( P<0.01 ); T-AOC level slightly increased , and then decreased , the levels at 4 w and 16 w were markedly decreased compared with those of the normal group (P<0.05);SOD level was significantly increased and then markedly reduced, the level of the model group at 4 w was significantly increased (P<0.05), while that at 8 w and 16 w were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01).The level of GSH-PX was decreased gradually , the levels at 8 w and 16 w were significantly lower than those of the normal group (P<0.05).With the progression of NAFLD,serum TNF-αand IFN-γwere increased gradually , while the level of IL-10 decreased gradually , and the levels at 8 w and 16 w were significantly lower than those of the normal group ( P <0.05, P <0.01).Conclusions The oxidative stress-related indicators and inflammatory cytokines in the gerbil NAFLD models induced by high fat diet are significantly changed as simple fatty liver develops into steatohepatitis , liver fibrosis and cirrhosis , and participate in the development and progression of NAFLD .

A new type of surface plasmon resonance ( SPR) spectroscopy system was designed and built. Here, a kind of dual photocell sensor was developed as a detection device to achieve a rapid measurement of SPR angle within a certain range. This SPR system was combined and integrated with electrochemical workstation to obtain a new type of electrochemistry-time-resolved SPR ( EC-TR-SPR ) instrument via instrumental technique. This EC-TR-SPR instrument was used to characterize the electrochemical polymerization process of aniline to validate the spectroscopic characteristics. Applications of transient electrochemical characterization methods, including chronoamperometry and differential pulse voltammetry, confirmed the time resolution and the applicability of this instrument system toward the steady state and transient electrochemical methods upon small molecular reactions. The experiment results showed that this EC-TR-SPR possessed the time resolution up to 10000 times per second (0. 1 ms), and could be used to real-time investigate the doping and de-doping of polymerization process of aniline monomer as well as the prepared polyaniline film, which could not be discriminated on a conventional electrochemical current-time curve. .
