OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation， suitability and accessibility of recombinant Mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion protein （EC）， and to provide evidence for selecting skin detection methods for tuberculosis infection diagnosis and auxiliary diagnosis of tuberculosis. METHODS The effectiveness and safety of EC compared with purified protein derivative of tuberculin （TB-PPD） were analyzed by the method of systematic review. Cost minimization analysis， cost-effectiveness analysis and cost-utility analysis were used to evaluate the short-term economy of EC compared with TB-PPD， and cost-utility analysis was used to evaluate the long-term economy. The evaluation dimensions of innovation， suitability and accessibility were determined by systematic review and improved Delphi expert consultation， and the comprehensive score of EC and TB-PPD in each dimension were calculated by the weight of each indicator. RESULTS The scores of effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation and suitability of EC were all higher than those of TB-PPD. The affordability scores of the two drugs were consistent， while the availability score of EC was lower than those of TB-PPD. After considering dimensions and index weight， the scores of effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation， suitability， accessibility and the comprehensive score of EC were all higher than those of TB-PPD. CONCLUSIONS Compared with TB-PPD， EC performs better in all dimensions of effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation， suitability and accessibility. However， it is worth noting that EC should further improve its availability in the dimension of accessibility.

OBJECTIVE To establish the fingerprints of Ligusticum sinense from different habitats ，screen differential components and determine their contents. METHODS Using Z-ligustilide as reference ，HPLC fingerprints of 12 batches of L. sinense were established by using Similarity Evaluation System of Chromatographic Fingerprints of TCM （2012 edition）；common peaks were identified and their similarities were evaluated. Cluster analysis （CA），principal component analysis （PCA）and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA）were performed to screen differential components with variable importance in the projection （VIP）＞1 as standard ；meanwhile，the contents of above differential components were determined by the same HPLC method. RESULTS There were 17 common peaks in the fingerprints of 12 batches of L. sinense ，and their similarities ranged 0.989-1.000. A total of 9 common peaks were identified ，i.e. chlorogenic acid （peak 1），ferulic acid （peak 2）， senkyunolide Ⅰ（peak 7），coniferyl ferulate （peak 9），E-ligustilide（peak 13），senkyunolide A （peak 14），Z-ligustilide（peak 17）. CA results showed that 12 batches of L. sinense were divided into 3 categories，S1-S5（Wuning）were clustered into one category，S6-S8（Ruichang）were clustered into one category ，S9-S12（De’an）were clustered into one category ；the VIP values of peaks 2，13，14 and 17（corresponding to ferulic acid ，E-ligustilide，senkyunolide A ，and Z-ligustilide respectively ）were all greater than 1，respectively. In S 1-S5，S6-S8 and S 9-S12 samples，the contents of ferulic acid were 0.488-0.533，0.603-0.658 and 0.415-0.433 mg/g，respectively；senkyunolide A were 1.184-1.295，1.450-1.588 and 1.307-1.377 mg/g，respectively；E-ligustilide were 0.118-0.125，0.130-0.135 and 0.223-0.229 mg/g，respectively；Z-ligustilide were 7.200-7.681，8.076-8.643 and 4.508-4.996 mg/g， respectively；the differences between two groups were statisti-cally significant （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Established ARS-11）；fingerprint is simple and accurate ，and can be used for overall quality evaluation of L. sinense from different habitats by combining with multivariate statistical analysis. Ferulic acid ， senkyunolide A ，Z-ligustilide and E-ligustilide may be the differential components that affect the quality of L. sinense from different habitats ，the contents of the first 3 components in L. sinense from Ruichang are the highest ，and the content of E-ligustilide in samples from De’an is the highest.

Objective To develop a method for rapid detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and its macrolide resistance mutation. Methods The primers and cycling probe sets were designed to detect two single nucleotide mutation, A2063G and A2064G, in the 23s rRNA gene of Mycoplasma pneumoniae. By using recombinant plasmids containing 23s rRNA gene fragments, 102 Mycoplasma pneumoniae clinical isolates from 2005 to 2008, and 136 nasopharyngeal suction specimens from pediatric patients with low respiratory tract infections in Shanghai Children's Hospital from November to December in 2009 were investigated to determine the specificity and the sensitivity of the CycleavePCR method. PCR amplification and sequence analysis of 23S rRNA genes were performed for all Mycoplasma pneumoniae strains and Mycoplasma pneumoniae positive specimens to confirm the results of the CycleavePCR method. Results Of 102 clinical isolates, 83 was resistant to erythromycin and sequence results show that all macrolide-resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae strains harbored an A2063G ( 82/83 ) or A2064G ( 1/83 ) transition mutation in 23S rRNA genes. Twelve was Mycoplasma pneumoniae detected positive by CycleavePCR in 136nasopharyngeal suction specimens. The CycleavePCR results were consistent with those of routine PCR and sequencing. There was no signal production from other bacterial species. Sensitivity and specificity were 100%. The detection limit of the CycleavePCR was 10 plasmid copies per reaction. Experiment can be done within 1.5 h. Conclusion A novel method is developed to detect erythromycin-resistant strains harboring A2063G and A2064G transition mutation in the 23s rRNA gene using CycleavePCR.

Objective To learn the current in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of Mycoplasma pneu-moniae in Shanghai and to understand the mechanisms of resistance to macrolides. Methods M. pneumoniae was isolated from pediatric patients with low respiratory tract infections(RTI) using broth and PPLO agar medi-um. PCR amplification and sequence analysis of P1 adhesion gene were performed to identify all M. pneumoniae strains. Susceptibility testing was carried out for macrolides, tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones using broth mi-crodilution method with SP4 broth. PCR amplification and sequence analysis of 23S rRNA genes were performed for all M. pneumoniae strains. P1 gene PCR-RFLP typing was performed to subtype the M. pneumoniae strains. Results One hundred and two M. pneumoniae strains were isolated in Shanghai from Oct 2005 to Dec 2008. All M. pneumoniae isolates were susceptible to the tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones tested. Of 102 clinical isolates, 83(81.4%) was resistant to erytbromycin and all 83 erythromycin-resistant strains had MIC>128 mg/L. An increasing trend of resistance rates were showed: 16.7% (1/6) in 2005, 76.5% (13/17) in 2006, 100.0% (24/24) in 2007 and 81.8% (45/55) in 2008. All macrolide-resistant M. pneumoniae strains harbored an A2063G transition mutation in domain V of 23S rRNA genes. The P1 gene RFLP type 1 is predominant (85.3%, 87/102) in M. pneumoniae clinical isolates. Conclusion The macrolide resistance rate of M. pneu-moniae is very high in Shanghai. The mechanism of macrolide resistance is associated with transition mutation on the 23S rRNA gene.
