ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the genotype and plasmid transfer of Enterobacteriaceae carring blaNDM‐1 with blaIMP‐4 or blaKPC‐2 .Methods From April 2012 to October 2014 ,a total of 33 non‐repeatitive carbapenem‐resistant Enterobacteriaceae ( including Imipenem‐resistant , meropenem‐resistant or Ertapenem‐resistant) were isolated from 5 hospitals in Wenzhou and Hangzhou . Identification and antimicrobial susceptibility test were performed using Vitek 2 Compact automatic microbiology analyzer . Phenotypes of carbapenemase were screened using modified Hodge test and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid‐disk synergy test .Extended spectrum βlactamase test was determined by the double disk combination test which was recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute .AmpC activity was tested by a three‐dimensional Cefoxitin method .Drug resistant genes including blaNDM‐1 and linkage of ISAba125‐NDM were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) .The purified PCR products were cloned and sequenced .Plasmid conjugation experiment and elimination method were carried out to test partial bacterial strain and K . pneumoniae carrying blaNDM‐1 with blaIMP‐4 or blaKPC‐2 .Results Of the 33 non‐repeatitive carbapenem‐resistant Enterobacteriaceae ,28 were strains of K .pneumoniae ,1 strain of K . oxytoca,2strainsof Escherichiacoli,1strainof K.planticolaand1strainof E.cloacae.Thirteenstrains were isolated from Hospital of Sir Run Run Shaw of Zhejiang University ,thirteen from Wenzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine ,one from Wenzhou People′s Hospital ,three from the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University and three from Wenzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine .Thirty‐one strains were confirmed as carbapenemase‐producing with 24 of blaKPC‐2 ,3 of blaNDM‐1 ,1 of blaNDM‐5 and 3 of blaIMP‐4 .Among them ,one strain carried blaNDM‐1 with blaIMP‐4 and one strain carried blaNDM‐1with blaKPC‐2 ,respectively .The plasmid transfer and conjugation experiment was performed between strains carrying blaNDM‐1 and Escherichia coli EC600 or K . pneumoniae ATCC13833 and genes of blaNDM‐1 and ISAba125‐NDM were obtained .Conclusions blaKPC‐2 gene is the popular carbapenemase genotype .blaNDM‐1 or blaNDM‐5 may be correlated with linkage gene of ISAba125‐N DM .Coexistence of blaNDM‐1 carrying blaIMP‐4 or blaKPC‐2 is detected in the same strain , respectively . Enough importance should be attached to the strains ,because most of them are multiple drug resistance with related genes located in the plasmid which is easily spread between strains .
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the impact of Friedman family intervention model on the personal life ability and psychological status of caregivers of early Alzheimer's disease patients.Methods 66 Alzheimer's disease patients,according to the random sequence,were divided into the study group and the control group with 33 patients in each group respectively.The control group received routine geriatric care,the study group was given Friedman family intervention model on the basis of routine geriatric care.Two groups were estimated with Life Scale Index and ADL before intervention and two months after intervention respectively,and the matching caregiver were evaluated with Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90).Results Compared with the control group,the quality of daily life after the intervention of the study group was significantly improved,and the differences of daily living skills between two groups were statistically significant.The differences of the SCL-90 total score and depression,anxiety,somatization,interpersonal factor scores of caregivers between the two groups were statistically significant after two months of intervention.Conclusions The application of Friedman family intervention model plays a significant role in the improvement of the quality of daily life and daily living skills in patients with Alzheimer's disease,and can improve the psychological status of the caregivers of AD patients.
ABSTRACT
Aerenchyrna formation has been described in depth in a number of species at a histological level. But large gaps remain in our understanding of its regulation as a developmental process. It is attempted to analyse essential mineral elements like K, Mg, Cu, Zn, Ca and P in the cell wall of aerenchyma cells in petioles ofS. trifolia at five different developmental stages by CSEM-EDX technique. At early stage, K and Cl concentrations in cell wall were high up to 36% and 4.3% of dry weight, respectively. It supported the hypotheses that aerenchyma spaces are filled with liquid at early developmental stages of aerenchyma in S. trifolia petiole. Mg concentration was high at stage 2, up to 0.86% of dry weight. Zinc and Cu were detected only at rapid expansion stages, during which the concentrations were up to 1.5% and 2.5%, respectively. Calcium was detected in the cell wall only at mature stages, the concentration was high up to 1.3% of dry weight at stages 4 and 5. These results confirmed that the element concentration of aerenehyma cell wall undergoes dynamic changes during different developmental stages, and a low Ca with high Zn and Cu concentration are needed for cell expansion. Copper and Zn deposition in the cell wall showed a significant positive linear correlation, suggesting that these two elements share same or similar uptake and transport mechanism in plants.
