Post-stroke depression(PSD) is one of the most common complications after stroke,and seriously influenced the quality of life of hemiplegic patients.The article would review the associated factors and mechanism of PSD.

Objective To analyze the regulatory T cell ( CD4 +CD25 +FoxP3 +T) levels in peripheral blood of patients with cavitary tuberculosis before and after surgery .Methods We compared the proportion of CD4 +CD25high T cells and CD4 +CD25 +FoxP3 +T cells in 13 patients with cavity tuberculosis pre-and post-operatively and in 10 healthy control subjects with flow cytometry .Results (1) The proportion of CD4 +CD25high T cells and CD4 +CD25 +FoxP3 +T cells were significantly higher in patients with cavity tuberculosis and at 1-month postoperatively than that in healthy controls(P<0.01).The proportion of CD4 +CD25high T cells and CD4 +CD25 +FoxP3 +T cells had no statistical significance between the patients with cavity tuberculosis at 6-months postoperatively and healthy controls (P>0.05).(2)The proportion of CD4 +CD25high T cells and CD4 +CD25 +FoxP3 +T cells decreased significantly af-ter 6 months surgery than preoperatively in patients with cavity tuberculosis (P<0.01).(3)Pre-and post-operative proportions of CD4 +CD25high T cells and CD4 +CD25 +FoxP3 +T cells showed a positive correlation ( r=0.878,P<0.01 ) .Conclusion The proportion of the circulating T regulatory cells increases in patients with cavity tuberculosis , and decreases after surgery .Infection with M.tuberculosis may induce regulatory T cell-surface molecular changes.

Objective To evaluate the capability of multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat ( VNTR) analysis ( MLVA) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis ( PFGE) for genotyping Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S.Typhi) isolates.Methods Five polymorphic VNTRs (SAL02,SAL11,SAL16,SAL20, and TR4699 ) that were observed in S.Typhi strains from previous studies were selected to establish MLVA . Twenty-one epidemiologically unrelated S.Typhi strains that were isolated from Shenzhen ,China from 2002 to 2007 were genotyped by the established MLVA , and the results were compared with those by PFGE . Results The Simpson′s index of diversity ( D value ) for all five different VNTRs ranged from 0.838 to 0.943 .A total of 19 MLVA profiles and 19 PFGE profiles were found , respectively .The D value for both MLVA and PFGE were 0.99 and the test results from two analyses were identical .Conclusion The five polymorphic VNTRs analysis could be used as an alternative typing scheme for epidemiologic investigation of S.Typhi infection .

Objective To investigate the prevalence and molecular characteristics of the extended -spectrum β-lactamase ( ESBL) and AmpC enzyme-producing Proteus mirabilis ( P.mirabilis) strains isola-ted in Shenzhen People′s Hospital.Methods The production of ESBLs and AmpC enzymes by P.mirabilis isolates were detected by a screening and confirmatory test for ESBLs and AmpC disk test , respectively .The PCR assays followed by DNA sequencing of the products were employed to analyze the multiple genes inclu -ding the ESBLs genes, AmpC genes, insertion sequences (ISs) upstream of the ESBLs or AmpC genes, plasmid -mediated quinolone resistance ( PMQR ) determinants , quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR) genes , the integrase genes, and class1 integron cassette.The epidemiological analysis of the iso-lates was performed by pulsed field gel electrophoresis .Results There were 130 P.mirabilis clinical iso-lates collected from Shenzhen People′s Hospital in China during the year 2004 to 2010.Among them, 13 isolates (10%) produced ESBLs, that accounted for 0%-9.1%in the year 2004-2009 and up to 29.4%in 2010, and 3 isolates (2.3%) produced AmpC enzymes.The predominant genotype of ESBLs -producing isolateswas b al CTX-M-14(n=7), followed by blaCTX-M-65(n=3), blaCTX-M-55(n=1), blaCTX-M-24(n=1) and blaPER-1 (n =1).The clinical isolate of PER-1-producing P.mirabilis was reported for the first time in China.Twoisolates carried an AmpC β-lactamase gene of blaCMY-2 and one isolate carried an unidentified AmpC gene .ISEcp1 located upstream of blaCTX-M and blaCMY-2 were detected in 91.7% (11/12) of CTX-M-producing isolatesand one CMY-2-producing isolate, respectively.ISPa12 was present upstream of blaPER-1 in one studiedisolate.Approximately 66.7% (10/15) of ESBL and /or AmpC-producing isolates harbored PMQR genes including2 carrying qnrD, 5 carrying aac-Ib-cr and 3 carrying both qnrD and aac-Ib-cr.Twelve ESBL and /orAmpC-producers with high level of resistance to ciprofloxacin carried the similar mutation profiles of S 83I inGyrA, S80I or S80R in ParC and among them, six strains showed E466D mutation in GyrB.Approximately86.7% (13/15) of ESBL and/or AmpC-producing isolates carried class 1 integron.Fourteen PFGE typeswere observed among 15 ESBL and/or AmpC-producers.Conclusion The prevalence of CTX-M β-lactamasesin P.mirabilis isolates contributed to the increased resistance to extended -spectrum cephalosporins.The qnrD and/or aac-Ib-cr genes were detected among the most of ESBL and /or AmpC-producing P.mirabilis clinical isolates.
