BACKGROUND: Clinically, in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can be associated with delayed platelet engraftment, phenotypically abnormal peripheral blood leukocytes, and graft rejection, possibly through a direct viral effect on hematopoietic progenitor cells after HCMV infection. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the inhibitory effect of ganciclovir (GCV) on proliferation of colony forming unit (CFU) granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM), CFU-erythroid (CFU-E), CFU T-lymphocyte (CFU-TL), CFU-multipotential (CFU-Mix) and CFU-megakaryocyte (CFU-Mk) progenitor cells of cord blood (CB) and the protective effects on them. DESIGN: Contrast observational study.SETTING: Department of Molecular Biology, Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical College.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 20 cord blood (CB) samples (with 10 mL for each sample) from fetal umbilical vein of normal term spontaneous delivery neonates were provided by the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical College. All the patients were informed and agreed with the experiment.METHODS: The experiment was carried out in the Department of Molecular Biology, Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical College from June 2004 to December 2006. Colony forming unit-assay was applied to observe the suppression effect of HCMV-AD169 strain on CFU-GM, CFU-E, CFU-TL, CFU-Mix and CFU-Mk of CB with the presence of GCV. The techniques of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and fluorescence quantification PCR were used to demonstrate the existence of HCMV-AD169 DNA in the colony cells of cultured CFU-GM, CFU-E, CFU-TL, CFU-Mix and CFU-Mk. Normal progenitor cells culture system was regarded as blank control group; normal progenitor cells culture system with inactivated HCMV fluid as inactivated (IV) control group.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① The number and maintaining duration of colonies of cultured progenitor cells were counted by using a light inverted phase contrast microscope. ② The techniques of PCR and fluorescence quantification PCR were used to demonstrate the existence of HCMV-AD169 DNA in the colony cells of cultured progenitor cells.RESULTS: ① Number and lasting time of colonies: The numbers of CFU-GM, CFU-E, CFU-TL, CFU-Mix and CFU-Mk colonies in the HCMV infection group were significantly less than those in the blank control group (P < 0.01). The maintaining duration of colonies in the HCMV infection group was significantly shorter than that in the blank control group (P < 0.01). HCMV-DNA copies of colony cells of GCV group decreased significantly by using fluorescence quantification PCR compared with HCMV group (P < 0.01), while negative in blank control and inactivated control in CFU-MK and CFU-Mix. ② CFU Growth rate: The Growth rate of colonies was 37.4%, 74.2%, 40.1%, 67.4% and 38.9% of CFU-GM, CFU-E, CFU-TL, CFU-Mix and FU-MK, respectively. ③ CFU-HCMV-AD169 DNA: Fluorescence quantification PCR showed that nucleonic acid content of progenitor cells after GCV-affected HCMV infection was decreased as compared with that after HCMV infection (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: The differentiation and proliferation of CFU-GM, CFU-E, CFU-TL, CFU-Mix and CFU-Mk are significantly inhibited after infected with CMV-AD169 strain. The growth of hematopoietic progenitor cell after HCMV-AD169 infection is promoted by GCV, which suggests that GCV has an effect of anti-HCMV in vitro.

Purpose Dual-energy coronary artery CT angiography (CTA) is a very promising one-stop examine, but the radiation dose is too high to hinder the development of the technology. The aim of this article is to explore the feasibility of low tube current combined with sonogram-affirmed iterative reconstruction (SAFIRE) technology in dual energy coronary artery CTA scan. Materials and Methods One hundred and twenty patients were randomly divided into four groups according to the tube current of A ball:conventional group (180 mAs) and low-dose groups (150 mAs, 120 mAs, 90 mAs). The SAFIRE 3 reconstruction method was used in the low-dose groups. The differences of mean CT values, image noise, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), image quality score and effective dose (ED) of the four groups were compared. Results The coronary artery segment display and the mean CT value of the four groups showed no statistic difference (P>0.05), while the image quality score, noise, SNR, and CNR showed statistic difference (P<0.05). The image quality score, SNR, and CNR was highest in the 150 mAs group, but noise was the lowest. There were no statistic difference of the image quality score, SNR, and CNR between the 180 mAs group and 90 mAs group (P>0.05). The ED was (5.50±1.47) mSv, (4.55±1.16) mSv, (3.41±0.77) mSv and (2.44±0.67) mSv, respectively for the four groups, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). ED of 90 mAs group decreased 55.62% than that of 180 mAs group. Conclusion Coronary artery CTA using 90 mAs combined with SAFIRE can significantly reduce the radiation dose without losing image quality, thus it has a good prospect of clinical application.

Objective To study the drug resistance of multiple‐drug‐resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(MDR‐Ab) and its rela‐tive carbapenemases genes ,in order to provide references for rational use of antibacterial agents .Methods A total of 98 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii(Ab) were identified by using the MicroScan WalkAway96 automated microbial identification susceptibility testing system ,and the resistance genes ,including OXA‐23 ,OXA‐24 ,IMP ,VIM ,TEM and SHV ,were detected by using the poly‐merase chain reaction .DNA sequences of positive amplification products of the resistance gene were analysed .Results The drug re‐sistance rates of 98 strains of MDR‐Ab to penicillin class and cephalosporin class both were 100 .0% ,to imipenem and meropenem were 55 .1% and 54 .1% respectively ,to gentamicin ,amikacin and tobramycin were 100 .0% ,100 .0% and 87 .8% respectively ,to ciprofloxacin ,levofloxacin and gatifloxacin were 89 .8% ,91 .8% and 77 .6% respectively ,to sulfamethoxazole and rifampicin were 91 .8% and 100 .0% respectively ,to polymyxin B and polymyxin were 14 .3% and 11 .2% respectively ,to tetracycline ,minocycline and tigecycline were 100 .0% ,6 .1% and 4 .1% respectively .The results of resistance genes detection in 98 strains of MDR‐Ab showed that 70 strains carried TEM and OXA‐23 gene ,53 strains carried VIM gene ,41 strains carried IMP gene ,while OXA‐24 and SHV genes were not detected .DNA sequence analysis showed that the homology of OXA‐23 ,TEM ,IMP and VIM genes were 98% ,98% ,99% and 99% .Conclusion The condition of antibacterial resistance of MDR‐Ab in this area is very serious ,and TEM and OXA‐23 are the main drug resistance genes .Carrying multiple resistance genes is an important cause of MDR‐Ab resistance . The treatment of patients with Ab infection should be based on the results of drug sensitivity test for rational use of antibacterial a‐gents .

Objective To investigate the effect of different programs of preconditioning with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R) in rabbits. Methods Forty-five New Zealand rabbits aged 4-5 months weighing 2.0-2.5 kg were randomly divided into 5 groups: group S, sham operation ( n = 5);group IR, spinal cord I/R injury (n = 10);group H_(1～3) , the animals were pretreated with 100% O_2 at 2.5 ATA 1 h/d for 5 (group H_1 ), 10 (group H_2 ) , or 20 (group H_3 ) consecutive days respectively 24 h before spinal cord I/R. The animals were anesthetized with iv pentobarbital sodium 30 mg/kg. The artery in the ear and left femoral artery were cannulated for proximal and distal mean blood pressure monitoring. Spinal cord ischemia was produced by cross-clamping of abdominal aorta distal to renal artery for 20 min. Hind-limb motor function was assessed at 48 h after reperfusion according to the modified criteria established by Tarlov (0 = no spontaneous movement, 4= normal motor function) . The animals were then killed and the L_5 segment of the spinal cord was removed for detection of neuronal survival (by HE staining), apoptosis (by TUNEL) and degeneration (by Fluoro-Jade B staining). Results Preconditioning with 5 or 10 d of HBO improved the hind-limb motor function and preserved more normal neurons in the spinal cord after I/R injury. Both apoptotic and degenerative cell death were attenuated in H_1 and H_2 groups. There was no significant difference in hind-limb motor dysfunction and the number of normal neurons in the lumbar spinal cord between H_3 group and I/R group. Conclusion Preconditioning with 5 d or 10 d HBO induces tolerance against spinal cord I/R injury, whereas preconditioning with 20 d of HBO fails to protect the spinal cord from I/R injury.
