Cationic colloidal gold (CCG) nanoparticles were used for labeling on the anioinic sites of living cells under two-photon fluorescence (TPF) microscope,and for delivering macromolecules into the target cells when irradiated by focused femtosecond laser pulses. 15 nm CCG nanoparticles which were made by conjugation with poly-L-Lysine,were attached on the anionic sites,especially on the membrane,of CHO-K1 cells because of their strong positive charge at physiological pH. Target cells labeled with cationic gold nanoparticles were imaged under TPF microscope,and lifetime images of the same targets were taken by time correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) technique in order to verify the fluorescence of the marker and the luminescence of the gold particles. The results shown that CCG nanoparticles first accumulated on the negatively charged sites of the membrane,then entered via endocytic pathway and attached anionic sites in plasma. A macromolecular 10 ku fluorescein isothiocyanate dextran (FITC-D) was added into the sample and the focused femtosecond laser of TPL microscope was employed to scan the target cells layer by layer. Typical laser power level used in biological imaging is about 3～5 mW. Here the laser power of scanning was below 5 mW in order to prevent photochemical damage of the fs-pulses alone and to localize effects to the nanoparticles on a nano-scale. After scanning the target cells under stack mode,macromolecular fluoresceins surrounding the cells was observed to cross the membrane and to diffuse in the cytoplasma. Comparing with the images before scanning,the two-photon fluorescence and fluorescence lifetime images revealed the delivery of FITC-D into target cells. Photothermal effects,which may be responsible for the permeabilisation,are highly localized in nanoscale and are not expected to cause damage exceeding the cell membrane. After extensive of laser scanning also cell death occurred. The ratio of the uptake of FITC-D and cellular death under different conditions were measured by flow cytometer. The results shown: with the increased scanning times or ratio of particles to cells,transfer efficiency increased first and decreased afterwards,but the ratio of cellular death went up all along.

Objective To detect the phenotype and genotype of 11 vancomycin-resistant enterococci(VRE).Methods Disk diffusion test,microdilution broth method,VITEK-2 and Etest were used to determin the susceptibility of 11 VRE to vancomycin and teicoplanin. MIC to 10 antimicrobial agents were determined with microdiluton broth method. vanA, vanB ,vanC_1, vanC_2 were detected with multiplex PCR and were further confirmed by DNA sequencing. TEM, tetM,ermB,aac(6′)/aph(2′′),ant(6)- I,aph(3′)-Ⅲ were detected with PCR.Results Susceptibilities of 11 VRE to vancomycin and teicoplanin were different in four vitro susceptibility testing methods. VRE showed resistance to erythromycin(9/11),ciprfloxacin(7/11),levofloxacin(7/11),rifampin(8/11) and chloramphenicol(7/11). HLGR and HLSR is 10/11 and 9/11 respectively. 1 VanA,4 VanB,5 VanC_1 and 1 VanC_2 were detected and their phenotypes confirmed to the genotypes. High rate of TEM(8/11), tetM(6/11), ermB(7/11), aac(6′)/aph(2′′)(7/11), ant(6)- I(5/11) and aph(3′)-III(9/11) were detected in 11 VRE.Conclusions VRE screening test and the determination of MIC are reliable in finding VRE. PCR is precise and specific in the testing and confirmation of VRE. The high rates of drug resistance genes showed the complicated mechanisms of drug resistance in VRE.

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.

Methods The clin-ical data of 42 cases of patients with thyroid carcinoma treated in our hospital from Jaunuary 2014 to October 2015 were analyzed retrospectively.

Results CT imaging showed a total of 40 cases of primary lesions,32 cases of uneven density, 30 cases of irregular shape,28 cases of edge blur,19 cases of calcification,25 cases of tumor invasion of the surrounding organs,and the surgical pathology results showed a total of 18 cases of papillary carcinoma,15 cases of undifferentiated carcinoma,6 cases of follicular carcinoma,3 cases of medullary carcinoma,22 cases of tumor invasion of the surrounding organs. The accuracy of CT imaging was 88.10%-95.24%,and the sensitivi-ty was 75.00%-93.75%,and the specificity was 91.30%-100.00%. Conclusion The CT imaging features of thyroid carcinoma and its clinical pa-thology are related. CT has high accuracy ,sensitivity and specificity in the invasive examination of tissue structure ,which is worthy of clinical appli-cation.

Long non-coding RNA was initially identified as "noises" of gene transcriptions. However, with the developing researches of ENCODE, it was found that the long non-coding RNAs can regulate the genomic expressions in the form of RNAs in epigenetic, transcription, and post transcriptional levels, which is involved in the regulation of diverse cellular processes and has significant influences on occurrence and precaution of human diseases. This paper introduces functions and features of the long non-coding RNAs, and sums up the internal relation between long non-coding RNAs, diabetes and diabetic complications on the basis of existing researches. These advances can provide the basis for the further understanding of molecular medicine on occurrence and evolution of diabetes.
