CONCLUSIONS High resistance in A.baumannii is found in Xinjiang.The positive rate of qacE△1-sul1 is high.Strengthening epidemiology surveillance of resistance carried by integron-carrying gene is important.

Objective To summarize the sonographic features and differential diagnosis points of mass-type cornual pregnancy. Methods The sonographic ifndings of 23 pathological proven mass-type cornual pregnancy cases enrolled in PUMCH from 2011 January to 2013 January were retrospectively analyzed. Results All pathological proven mass-type cornual pregnancy were located at one corner of the uterus presenting as a heterogenous outward mass. Well-deifned margins were found in 20 cases, and interstitial-line signs were found in 15 cases. The surrounding muscle thickness is 0.1-0.3 cm. Typical hyperechoic villi were found on sonography in cases with bloodβ-hCG>20 000 IU/L. On Doppler, the lesion showed abundant peripheral vascularity with low resistance in 22 cases, 9 lesions also showed abundant internal vascularity. Among 23 mass-type cornual pregnancy cases, 7 cases were misdiagnosed as gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) due to the similar sonographic characteristics including mixed-echo and abundant vascularity with low resistance. Sixteen cases were diagnosed by ultrasound preoperatively, with featured sonographic signs including mass located in the endometrial extension line;clear margin;peripheral vascularity;or detection of interstitial-line sign and typical villus. Conclusions Mass-type cornual pregnancy may be correctly diagnosed according to the location, boundary of the mass and the distribution of blood flow combining with clinical manifestation and bloodβ-hCG level. Transvaginal sonography could play an important role in diagnosis of cornual pregnancy.

Vampire bat saliva contains a plasminogen activator that presumably assists these hematophagous animals during feeding. Bat-PA (H), the full-length form of Vampire Bat Salivary Plasminogen Activator (DSPAalpha1), is homologous and similar efficacy to tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA). The strict fibrin dependence of activity is a characteristic which could be desirable in the fibrinolytic therapy. It is a unique fibrinolytic enzyme that does not promote neurodegeneration. In this study, according to the reported gene sequence (GenBank Accession No. J05082) of Vampire bat (D. rotundus) plasminogen activator. It was the first time to synthesize the full sequence of DSPAalpha1 in vitro and clone it into the expression vector pPIC9K, the recombinant plasmid was linearized and transformed into Pichia pastoris GS115 strain. Secreted expression of recombinant DSPAalpha1 was attained by methanol induction and its molecular mass is 47 kD. To get recombinant GS115 with high amount of protein, hundreds of His+ transformants had been screened to isolate clones resistant to high levels G418 (2-4 mg/mL), the selected clones mini-expressed in Pichia pastoris, and tested their fibrinolytic activities and expressed protein bands by fibrin plate assay and SDS-PAGE. DSPAalpha1 was determined by optical density after SDS-PAGE, the yield is about 30 mg per liter of fermentation culture. DSPAalpha1 derived often from mammalian cells: Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, Baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells, COS cells, which might be produced at high cost. In Pichia pastoris, it is expected to higher yield and lower cost, thus it might be able to serve as new thrombolytic candidate.

Objective:To explore the clinical and ultrasound image characteristics and differential diagnosis of female urethral diverticulum(UD) and vaginal wall cysts.Methods:A retrospective analysis of the clinical and ultrasound image features of 12 female patients with UD were collected as UD group and 30 patients with vaginal wall cysts confirmed by surgical pathology and clinical follow-up were collected as vaginal wall cysts group in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2017 to May 2021. Ultrasound image characteristics, and the main points of the differential diagnosis of the two were analyzed and summarized.Results:There were no significant differences in the age of the patients and the maximum diameter of the lesions between UD group and vaginal wall cysts group(all P>0.05). Eight cases (66.7%) of female patients with UD had urinary system symptoms, 5 cases (16.7%) of vaginal wall cysts had urinary system symptoms, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05); In 10 cases (83.3%) the UD lesions were located in the upper middle and upper pelvic floor, and vaginal wall cyst lesions in 23 cases (76.7%) were located in the lower middle and lower pelvic floor, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). In terms of ultrasound image characteristics, UD lesions were often irregular in shape, surrounding the urethra, with unclear borders, cyst wall thickness >0.1 cm, internal wall not smooth along with calcification, internal visible separation, partly visible to the urethra, and peripheral blood flow signals were abundant. Vaginal wall cysts were mostly round-shaped, not surrounding the urethra, clear borders, thin and smooth walls, less internal partitions, not communication with the urethra, and the peripheral blood flow signals were not abundant. The differences between the two group were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Whether the sound transmission inside the lesion was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Combined with urinary system symptoms, lesion location, ultrasound characteristics (morphology, whether surrounding the urethra, boundary, cyst wall thickness, inner wall calcification, internal separation, whether it is connected to the urethra, blood flow distribution) can be used to distinguish between UD and vaginal wall cysts, whether the sound transmission inside the lesion cannot be used as the basis for the differential diagnosis of the two.

Objective:To discuss the value of ultrasound in the diagnosis of pelvic lipomatosis and analyze the causes of misdiagnosis.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 68 cases of pelvic lipomatosis confirmed by operation or imaging in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2000 to December 2018 was made to summarize the characteristics of ultrasonic manifestations.Results:Ultrasonographic findings were as follows: 6 cases (8.8%) had increased fat-like hyperecho in pelvic cavity; 60 cases (88.2%) had abnormal bladder; 42 cases (61.7%) had pyelectasis and 24 cases (35.3%) had ureterectasis. Of the 68 cases, 6 cases (8.8%) were correctly diagnosed; 54 cases (79.4%) were missed; 8 cases (11.8%) were misdiagnosed, including 7 cases (10.3%) of bladder tumor and 1 case (1.5%) of retroperitoneal giant mass.Conclusions:Pelvic lipomatosis has characteristic sonographic features.When urinary tract obstruction and bladder wall thickening are observed, pelvic lipomatosis should be considered. Bladder shape and existence of increasing fat-like hyperecho in the pelvis should be further scanned to reduce the misdiagnosis rate of pelvic lipomatosis.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutic mechanism of resveratrol (RES) for Alzheimer's disease (AD) in light of network pharmacology. METHODS: We searched PubChem, BATMAN-TCM, Genecards, AD, TTD, String 11.0, AlzData, SwissTargetPrediction, Metascape and other databases for the therapeutic targets of RES and human AD-related targets. The intersection was determined using Venny 2.1 to obtain the therapeutic targets of RES for AD. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed, the gene ontology (GO) was enriched and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway (KEGG pathway) were analyzed. Cytoscape 3.7.1 software was used to construct a target-signaling pathway network of RES in the treatment of AD. Molecular docking verification was carried out on SwissDock (http://www.swissdock.ch/docking). We examined a 293Tau cell model of AD for changes in protein levels of pS396, pS199, Tau5, CDK5, glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) and p-GSK3β in response to RES treatment using Western blotting. RESULTS: We obtained 182 targets of RES, 525 targets related to AD, and 36 targets of RES for AD treatment, among which 34.6% of the targets were protein-modifying enzymes, 27.7% were metabolite invertase, 13.8% were gene-specific transcriptional regulators, and 10.3% were transporters. The core key targets of RES in the treatment of AD included INS, APP, ESR1, MMP9, IGF1R, CACNA1C, MAPT (microtubule- associated protein Tau), MMP2, TGFB1 and GSK3B. Enrichment analysis of GO biological process suggested that the biological function of RES in AD treatment mainly involved the response to β-amyloid protein, positive regulation of transferase activity, the transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway, regulation of behavior, learning or memory, aging, and transmembrane transport. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that the most significantly enriched signaling pathways were AD pathway, PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, cGMP-PKG signaling pathway, and MAPK signaling pathway. Molecular docking results showed that RES had strong binding with ESR1, GSK3B, MMP9, IGF1R, APP and INS. In the cell model of AD, treatment with 50 μmol/L RES for 12 h significantly reduced the levels of pS396 and pS199 by regulating CDK5 and GSK3β activity ( CONCLUSIONS RES produces therapeutic effects on AD by acting on multiple targets and affecting multiple signaling pathways and improves AD-associated pathologies
