Objective To investigate the drug resistance phenotype/genotype and virulence gene carrying status, serotype, and sequence typing (ST) of Campylobacter jejuni in Fengtai District in 2024. Methods The drug resistance phenotype was detected by agar dilution method, and serotyping was performed by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The whole genome sequencing was used to analyze drug resistance genes, virulence genes, and other characteristics. Results Among the 35 Campylobacter jejuni strains analyzed, the antibiotics with the highest resistance rates were nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin (both 82.86%), followed by tetracycline (74.89%). All strains exhibited a 100.00% sensitivity rate to erythromycin. The multiple drug resistance rate was 77.14%. The predominant drug resistance genes were gyrA-T86I (94.29%) and tetO (74.29%). The most common serotype was HS:2, accounting for 25 strains. A total of 132 virulence genes were detected. There were 12 clonal complexes (CC) and 24 ST types. Conclusion The drug resistance situation of Campylobacter jejuni in Fengtai District is relatively severe, and the drug resistance phenotype is related to specific genetic mutations to some extent. The serotypes are diverse, the virulence genes are complex, and the pathogenic potential is significant, posing a notable risk for inducing Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). The high number of ST types indicates substantial genetic diversity.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have shown that Huosui Formula has a synergistic effect on the immune and hematopoietic regulation of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome,but the specific mechanism is not yet clear.OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect and mechanism of Huosui Formula on bone marrow hematopoiesis in rats with myelodysplastic syndrome.METHODS:A total of 70 SD rats were randomly divided into a normal control group(n=10),a model group(n=15),a western medicine group(n=15),a low-dose Huosui Formula group(n=15),and a high-dose Huosui Formula group(n=15).Except for the normal control group,the other four groups were injected with dimethyl benzanthracene via the tail vein to induce the establishment of rat myelodysplastic syndrome models.After modeling,the normal control group and the model group were given normal saline;the western medicine group was given thalidomide capsules 10 mg/kg and retinoic acid tablets 4 mg/kg,and the low-dose Huosui Formula group and the high-dose Huosui Formula group were given 1.5 and 6 g/kg Huosui Formula,respectively,by intragastric administration once a day for 28 consecutive days.Peripheral blood and femoral bone marrow tissue were collected to detect peripheral blood routine and bone marrow biopsy hematopoietic proliferation.Flow cytometry was used to detect T lymphocyte subsets and the expression of CTLA-4 and PD-1 on T lymphocytes.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the normal control group,peripheral blood leukocyte,neutrophil,hemoglobin,platelet,and CD4+,CD4+/CD8+levels were decreased in the model group significantly(P＜0.05),while CD4+PD-1+,CD8+PD-1+,CD4+CTLA-4+,and CD8+CTLA-4+expressions were significantly upregulated(P＜0.05).(2)In all dosage groups,myelopoietic proliferation was increased compared with the model group,with no significant difference between the groups(P＞0.05).(3)Compared with the model group,leukocytes,hemoglobin,platelets,and CD4+,CD4+/CD8+were significantly elevated in the high-dose Huosui Formula group(P＜0.05),the expression of CD8+was significantly lower(P＜0.05),and the levels of CD4+PD-1+,CD8+PD-1+,CD4+CTLA-4+,and CD8+CTLA-4+were down-regulated but not statistically significant(P＞0.05).(4)The western medicine group and the high-dose Huosui Formula group showed similar efficacy.The improvement of each index in the high-dose Huosui Formula group was superior to that in the low-dose Huosui Formula group.These findings indicate that Huosui Formula can improve the bone marrow hematopoiesis in myelodysplastic syndrome model rats,increase the levels of CD4+,and CD4+/CD8+while down-regulate the expression levels of CD4+PD-1+,CD8+PD-1+,CD4+CTLA-4+,and CD8+CTLA-4+.These observations suggest a link to the negative immunoregulation mechanism.

Lung cancer has the highest incidence rate and death rate in China.At present,the treatment of lung cancer includes radiotherapy,chemotherapy,immunotherapy,targeted therapy,etc.But currently available treatment strategies still cannot cure it.The toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy limit their effectiveness and application.Surgical resection or com-bined radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the preferred treatment methods,but the overall efficacy is low.Protein post-translation-al modification is a hot topic in the field of tumor research.A lot of research has been carried out in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer,lymphoma and other diseases,and good results have been achieved in clinical practice.There are already rele-vant literature indicating that abnormal protein post modification is associated with the occurrence and development of lung canc-er.Therefore,this article reviews the research on lung cancer and protein post-translational modifications in recent years,in or-der to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.
