Objective To understand the contamination status, drug resistance, virulence, genotyping characteristics, and genetic evolution relationships of Vibrio vulnificus in commercially available food in Pudong New Area of Shanghai. Methods The drug susceptibility test was carried out by microbroth dilution method. The whole genome sequencing was used by illumina sequencing platform. The virulence, drug resistance genes and MLST typing were obtained by VFDB, CARD and PubMLST database. Phylogenetic analysis was used by genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms. Results The detection rate of Vibrio vulnusis in commercially available food was 4.56% (51/1 119) in 2023, and the dominant detection categories were shellfish(20.16%,25/124), fish(6.74%,19/282), shrimp(6.56%,4/61), ready-to-eat aquatic products(9.09%,2/22) and animal meat(0.33%,1/300). The highest drug resistance rate of Vibrio vulnificus to cefazolin is 23.5%(12/51), followed by ampicillin, tetracycline, and trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole. And 51 strains of Vibrio vulnificus carried 29 kinds of drug resistance genes such as tetracycline(tetA, tetC), quinolones(QnrVC6, QnrVC4), carbapenems(varG), and 163 kinds of virulence genes related to flagella(fla E) and iron ion absorption(hutA). The results of MLST analysis showed that there were 41 ST types(one untyped ), 32 new ST types were generated, and 38 isolates were new ST types, mainly ST326(5.88%,3/51) and ST667(5.88%,3/51). SNP showed that all strains were divided into three branches, and the branches in the phylogenetic tree were longer, and had higher homologous recombination. Conclusion In Pudong New Area, the contamination of Vibrio vulnificus was serious in shellfish, fish, shrimp, ready-to-eat aquatic products and animal meat. The drug resistance spectrum is wide and there are multiple drug resistance phenomena. It carries a variety of virulence genes and drug-resistant genes, and is highly homologous recombination, which has certain food safety risks, and should be strengthened monitoring and management.

Objective To evaluate the predictive role of TEL/AML1 fusion gene in protocol CCLG-ALL-2008 and to identify relevant factors influencing the outcome of ALL with TEL/AML1 fusion gene. Methods Ninety-nine patients with ALL harboring TEL/AML1 fusion gene (positive) and 329 cases without any specific fusion genes (negative) at diagnosis of B-lineage ALL from June 2008 to December 2014 were enrolled and their clinical and biological features were analyzed. Following-up ended in October 2015, the survival status was calculated by K-M curve and prognostic factors were analyzed by COX model. Results There were no differences between the two groups in age, white blood cell at the diagnostic stage, and treatment responses at 4 time points, namely, prednisone good response on day 8, M3 status of BM on D15, and the minimal residual disease (MRD) more than 1.0×10-3 on day 33 and 12th week. During the follow-up period, the relapse rate was lower in the positive group than that in the negative group (14/99 vs 69/329), the mortality rate of the negative group was twice of that in the positive group (55/329 vs 8/99). The five-year overall survival (OS) rate, relapse-free survival (RFS) rate and event-free survival (EFS) rate of the positive group were (86.1 ± 4.9)%, (80.7 ± 5.1)% and (78.9 ± 5.1)%, respectively, and (79 ±2.8)%, (72± 3.1)%, and (69.6+ 3.1)% for the negative group as well. COX regression analysis indicated that relapse and MRD level at the 12th week were independent prognostic factors on OS, RFS, and EFS (P<0.05) for the two groups. Conclusions TEL/AML1 fusion gene could be regarded as a relatively good indicator of risks in ALL children treated by CCLG-ALL-2008 protocol. ALL patients with TEL/AML1 are recommended to receive more intensive therapy including hematopoietic stem cell transplantation when the patients were high level of MRD on the 12th week after treatment.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic factors in predicting relapse of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated with CCLG-2008 protocol. Methods From December 1st 2008 and December 31st 2012, 358 patients diagnosed with ALL and treated with the CCLG-ALL 2008 protocol were enrolled in this study. All patients were followed up until September 1st, 2015. Prognostic impact of clinical features, response to treatment, biological features were analyzed and multivariate analysis of predicted value was performed by Cox-regression analysis. Results After treatment of CCLG-ALL 2008 protocol, 79 patients suffered from relapse. The relapse rate in the standard-risk, intermediate-risk and the high-risk groups were 13.3%, 17.6%, and 41.3%, respectively (P?0.05). The number of very early relapse, early relapse and late relapse were 25, 29, 25, respectively, accounting for 31.6%, 36.7%, and 31.6%. The relapse rates in patients in B-ALL with initial leukocyte counts>100×109/L, non-remission in 15th day of induction (M3), the level of minimal residual disease (MRD) on 12w (12w-MRD)?>10-4 were signiifcantly higher, their corresponding hazard ratio were 3.17 (1.58?~?6.36), 1.87 (1.07?~?3.30), and 1.90 (1.12?~?3.20), respectively (P?0.05). Conclusions After treatment with the CCLG-ALL 2008 protocol, a relatively high relapse rate is observed in children with high-risk ALL. High initial leukocyte counts, non-remission in D15-BM and 12w-MRD>10-4 were the independent prognostic factors for childhood B-ALL.

OBJECTIVETo study the expression level and CpG island methylation status of miR-34b in leukemia cell lines and to research the effect of DNA methylation on the proliferation of leukemia cells regulated by miR-34b.
METHODTaqman real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was carried out to detect the relative expression of miR-34b in control group (bone marrow cells of 20 children without blood disease) and 8 leukemia cell lines (U937, HL-60, MV4-11, M2R, K562, Raji, CCRF, DAMI). Methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) was carried out to detect the methylation differences of miR-34b in control group (Bone marrow cells of 23 children without blood disease), 8 leukemia cell lines. HL-60 and K562 were treated with methyltransferase inhibitor (5-aza-2-dC) for further detection of its methylation status and expression of miR-34b. Hsa-miR-34b mimics was transfected into K562 cell by liposome, the transfection efficiency was detected by flow cytometry. The cell proliferation of hsa-miR-34b transfected group in each stage was measured with CCK-8 assay, and then compared with non-transfected group and negative control group.
RESULTThe relative expression level of miR-34b in the group of children without blood disease and the group of leukemia cell lines were 5.22 ± 1.15, 0.03 ± 0.03. The results showed that, the group of leukemia cell lines was significantly different from the control group (t = 4.538, P < 0.01) . Eight leukemia cell lines showed methylation, the positive rate of the methyl was 100%. There was no methylation in the 23 cases of control group. After leukemia cell lines HL-60 and K562 were treated with 5-aza-2-dC, the methylated bands became obviously weakened, and the relative expression levels of miR-34b substantially increased 49.5 times and 18.8 times respectively. After hsa-miR-34b mimics was transfected into K562 cell by liposome, its transfection efficiency detected by flow cytometry was 61% and the cell proliferation was measured with CCK-8 assay from which it was found that the cell proliferation was significantly suppressed compared with the control group at 48 h (t = 9.303, P < 0.01), 72 h (t = 65.617, P < 0.01), 96 h (t = 36.878, P < 0.01) and 120 h (t = 18.748, P < 0.01) in hsa-miR-34b transfected group, with the inhibition rate of 12.2% (48 h), 45.7% (72 h), 32.5% (96 h) and 22.9% (120 h).
CONCLUSIONThe hypermethylation of promoter leads to decrease in the expression levels of miR-34b in leukemia cell lines, which attenuate mechanism of proliferative inhibition may be one of the reasons of occurrence or development of childhood leukemia.

Objective:To explore the expression of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein related protein 1(IGFBP-rP1) gene in children with acute leukemia and its potential significance. Methods:Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RFQ-PCR) method was used for detecting IGFBP-rP1 mRNA expression in bone marrow (BM) cells of 168 children with acute leukemia. The results were compared with those of 30 non-leukemia children in control group. Meanwhile the relationship between IGFBP-rP1 expression level and clinical prognosis was analyzed according to clinical prognostic factors of children acute leukemia. Results:Expression level of IGFBP-rP1 in initial acute leukemia children was significantly higher than that of non leukemia children (P<0.01). It was higher in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) than in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)(P =0.013). The transcription level of IGFBP-rP1 mRNA in patients who had complete remission (CR) were lowest, which was nearly the same as non-leukemia childish patients. It increased again when leukemia relapsed, which was significantly higher than that in CR. However, as far as ALL was concerned, IGFBP-rP1 expression levels had no significant difference between newly-diagnosed, complete remission, and recurrent groups.Conclusion:IGFBP-rP1 may be involved in the initiation and development of childish leukemia. It has the potential to become a new target for AML treatment.
