Objective To set up the filter mating method of plasmid conjugation experiment for Corynebacterium.Methods The first plasmid conjugation between different genus was performed by filter method.Three strains of highly erythromycin-resistance Enterococcus faecalis isolates[minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC)of erythromycin>256 mg/L,MIC of levofloxacin≤8 mg/L] which screened by agar dilution method were used as donators and 3 strains of Corynebacteria isolates(MIC of erythromycin≤32mg/L,MIC of levofloxacin=128 mg/L)were used as acceptors.In the second conjugation between the same genus but in different species,three Corynebacterium xerosis strains(MIC of erythromycin>256 mg/L,MIC of ceftazidime=16 mg/L)which were conjugants of the first conjugation were used as donators and 6 strains of Corynebacteria isolates(MIC of erythromycin≤32 mg/L,MIC of ceftazidime 128 mg/L)were used as acceptors.Results In the first conjugation between different genus,the plasimid conjugations were done for 9 times between 3 donators and 3 acceptors,4 of which gained the phenotype and genotype of resistance and the transfer rate was 44%.In the second conjugation experiment,the plasmid conjugations were done for 18 times between 3 donators and 6 acceptors,7 of which gained the resistant phenotype and the transfer rate was 39%.Erythromycin-resistance was transferred from the donators to the conjugants in varying degrees.The resistance was transferred from Enterococcus faecalis to Corynebacteria and then to other Corynebacteria which were of the salne genus but of different species.Conclusion Filter mating conjugation method could be used to study the mechanisms of resistance transmission of Corynebacterium.

Objective To investigate changes of metabolic syndrome (MS ) in patients with adrenocortical adenoma (ACA ). Methods Sixty‐five patients with aldosterone producing adenoma (APA) ,43 patients with cortisol‐secreting adenoma (CSA) and 24 patients with nonfunctional adrenal adenoma (NAA) were evaluated. Body Mass Index (BMI) ,blood pressure ,plasma lipid ,fasting and 2 h postprandial plasma glucose ,plasma and urinary aldosterone ,plasma potassium ,basic and upright plasma renin activity (PRA ) ,plasma and urinary cortisol ,plasma ACTH and plasma potassium ACA were examined and compared with those from 53 patients of essential hypertension (EH ) and 58 controls. Adrenalectomy was performed for all the patients with adrenocortical adenoma. The data after operation were compared with those before operation. Results (1) The prevalence of MS was 38.5% ,41.9% , 20.8% ,24.5% and 17.5% in the groups respectively. The prevalence of obesity/overweight was higher in CSA group than in the other groups. There were 44.6% patients with hyperglycemia in APA group ,and 48.8% in CSA group. The prevalence of hypertension was the highest in APA and EH group ,followed by CSA group ,NAA and control groups. There were 55.4% patients with lipid disturbance in APA group , and 46.5% in CSA group. (2 ) We divided all APA and CSA patients into groups with or without MS. The APA patients with MS had higher plasma aldosterone than those without MS. The CSA patients with MS had higher 08 :00 and 24 :00 plasma cortisol than those without MS. (3) After operation ,the plasma and urinary aldosterone were decreased and the plasma potassium was increased in APA patients. The 08 :00 ,24 :00 plasma cortisol and urinary cortisol were decreased and the 08 :00 plasma ACTH was increased in CSA patients. There were no significant differences in hormonal measurements of NAA patients before and after operation. (4 ) The prevalence of MS was 27.7% ,27.9% and 29.2% in three groups after operation. The systolic and diastolic blood pressures were decreased in APA patients after operation ,and the systolic blood pressure decreased in CSA patients. There was no significant difference in MS measurements of NAA patients before and after operation. Conclusions Our study indicates that patients with functional adrenocortical adenoma have a significantly higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome which is related to over secretion of adrenal cortex hormone. After operation ,accompanying normalization of hormonal secretion ,the condition of MS in functional adrenocortical adenoma patients is improved.

Background and purpose:The prognosis of ovarian cancer is poor and the diagnosis is relatively late. It is needed to search for early diagnosis and treatment for ovarian cancer. This study investigated the expression of serum miRNAs in patients with malignancy or benign ovarian tumor preoperativey and analyzed its correlation with clinicopathological progress and prognostic features of epithelial ovarian cancer.Methods:Forty-eight miRNAs which have been reported to be related to ovarian cancer were ordered. The differential expression of 48 miRNAs in the serum of patients with malignant or benign epithelial ovarian tumors was detected by TaqMan low density array. The differentially expressed miRNAs were further confirmed by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR). The relationship between the expression level of selected miRNA and clinical clinicopathological factors, progress and prognosis were analyzed.Results:TaqMan low density array and further RTFQ-PCR showed that only miR-125b was sig-nificantly increased in 135 ovarian cancer patients as compared with 38 individuals with benign tumor. The expression of miR-125b was higher in early stage patients than that in advanced stage patients (P=0.039). The patients without residual tumor expressed more miR-125b than patients with residual tumor (P=0.013). The high level of miR-125b was signifi-cantly correlated with longer progress free survival (PFS) (P=0.003), but not correlated with overall survival (OS) (P=0.069). Conclusion:MiR-125b may play an important role in the pathogenesis of epithelial ovarian cancer and prognosis. It may be a potential gene to predict the recurrence of epithelial ovarian cancer, but the change of gene expression at different stages and its underlying mechanism need further research.

Objective To study the influence of blood glucose, blood lipids and other cerebral infarction risk factors in the mean platelet volume (MPV). Methods A total of 562 patients with cerebral infarction and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and 216 cerebral infarction patients without DM (non-DM) were included in this study. The platelet parameter of peripheral blood and other laboratory indexes were detected including platelet count (PLT), MPV, platelet distribution width (PDW), plateletcrit (PCT), fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL-C), urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), uric acid (UA), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and homocysteine (HCY). The patients were scored by the National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) after hospitalization. The MPV changes in patients with cerebral infarction were observed, and different influences of blood glucose, blood lipids to MPV were analysed. Results Values of FBG, HbA1c, TC, TG, LDL-C, BUN, UA, HCY, hs-CRP, and NIHSS were significantly higher in DM group than those of non-DM group. The score of NIHSS was significantly higher in DM group than that of non-DM group. The level of HDL-C was significantly lower in DM group than that of non-DM grou. The MPV was significantly higher in DM group than that of non-DM group [(9.60 ± 1.35) fL vs. (9.27 ± 1.01) fL, P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between MPV and FBG, HbA1c, hs-CRP, WBC, VLDL-C and NIHSS, r=0.438, 0.410, 0.336, 0.164, 0.321 and 0.249 (P<0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that FBG, VLDL-C, HbA1c, hs-CRP and NIHSS were the independent influential factors of MPV (P<0.05). Conclusion The influencing factors of MPV should be controlled in patients with cerebral infarction combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus, reducing the activation of platelet, and delaying the progress of cerebral infarction.
