Relationship between homology and genomics of Klebsiella pneumoniae in patients with neurocritical infection / 中国综合临床

Objective:To analyze the relationship between homology of Kleber pathogen pneumoniae (KP) in patients with neurocritical infections and the Genomics.Method:Five non-multidrug resistant pathogen KP were identified in 2015 to 2018, including the same cloning strain of P90 and P91, the same popular cloning system of P66,P90 and P91, and there is no homology between P20,P39 and other strains, which makes a second generation full genome sequencing. A variety of bioinformatics software were used for genomic analysis to understand the basic genomic information, chromosomal and plasmid distribution, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) differences and gene family clustering characteristics, meanwhile with the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website registered 18 KP strains (2013--2016) to analyze the evolutionary affinity between strains.Results:The total genome sizes of P20, P39, P66, P90 and P91 were 5 469 543 bp, 5 480 332 bp, 5 768 352 bp, 5 745 666 bp, 5 722 999 bp. The GC contents were 57.07% (1 559 929+1 561 432)/5 469 543, 57.27% (1 566 970+1 571 424)/5 480 322, 56.96% (1 640 438+1 645 432)/5 768 352, 56.88% (1 634 285+1 634 038)/5 745 666, and 56.95% (1 627 360+1 631 781)/5 722 999, respectively. Compared with P20 reference strains, the total number of SNP in P39, P66, P90 and P91 were 32 682, 34 226, 34 292, 34 375, and the total mutation rates of gene coding region sequences were87.18% (28 491/32 682), 86.71% (29 679/34 226), 85.26% (29 238/34 292), 86.22% (29 638/34 375), respectively. Nonsynonymous mutations accounted for some advantages, and the rates were 44.57% (14 566/32 682), 44.01% (15 063/34 226), 48.01% (16 465/34 292), 48.75% (16 758/34 375), and synonymous mutations were 42.61% (13 925/32 682), 42.70% (14 616/34 226), 37.25% (12 773/34 292), 37.47% (12 880/34 375), respectively. P90 and P91 have 6 specific gene families, and P66 has 4 specific gene families. The same popular clone lines P66, P90 and P99 are on the same evolutionary branch of the phylogenetic tree. The same clone P90 and P99 are on the same subbranch. P20 and P39 without homology are on different evolutionary branches respectively. P20, P39, P66, P90 and P91 on the evolutionary branches of phylogenetic tree are closely related to the evolutionary grade of strain KP52-145 from France and strain ED23 from Taiwan, China submitted on NCBI website.Conclusion:Klebsiella pneumoniae in patients with neurocritical infection has the same clone, and the number of unique gene families among strains is the same. There are small differences in the number of unique gene families and the total number of SNPs among the same epidemic clone lines, and they are characteristic of the same evolutionary branch of the phylogenetic tree. The number of unique gene families and the total number of SNPs of non homologous strains are quite different, and they are in different evolutionary branches of the phylogenetic tree.

Analysis of risk factors for adult community-acquired pneumonia caused by Gram negative bacilli in Tangshan / 天津医药

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and risk factors for adult community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) caused by Gram-negative bacilli in Tangshan, and provide reference for the early identification of Gram-negative bac?teria CAP and the clinical use of antibiotics. Methods Data of retrospective general information, physical examination, aux?iliary examination and pathogen were collected in patients with CAP in respiratory department from 6 hospitals in Tangshan between October 2011 to September 2012. According to the above data, the prognosis of patients with the team score (PORT) was calculated. The sputum samples were isolated for pathogen identification. Univariate logistic regression analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed for risk factors of Gram-negative bacilli. Results A total of 195 strains were isolated from 172 (32.45%) patients in 530 patients with CAP. There were 154 strains of Gram-negative ba?cilli (78.97%) and 41 strains of Gram-positive bacteria (21.03%) in 195 bacterial strains. Univariate logistic regression anal?ysis showed the possible risk factors of Gram-negative bacilli in patients with CAP including age≥65 years old, using antibi?otics before hospitalization, basic diseases, cerebrovascular disease, malnutrion, white blood cell abnormal, neutrophil count17.1μmol/L and blood urea nitrogen>7.1 mmol/L. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed the independent risk factors of Gram-negative bacilli in patients with CAP including us?ing antibiotics before hospitalization (OR=2.327, 95%CI 1.453-3.725), white blood cell abnormal (OR=2.904, 95%CI 1.879-4.490), PORT classification≥Ⅲ(OR=3.839, 95%CI 2.427-6.071), and blood urea nitrogen elevated (OR=4.133, 95%CI 2.585-6.606). Conclusion Clinical empirical anti-infection treatment should consider the risk factors including using antibiotics before hospitalization, white blood cell abnormal, PORT classification≥Ⅲ and blood urea nitrogen>7.1 mmol/L in patients with susceptible to Gram-negative bacteria infection.

The clinical value and relationship between the serum levels of Pro-gastrin-releasing peptide 31-98 (Pro-GRP), neuron-specific enolase and the different pathohistology types of lung cancer / 中国综合临床

Objective To evaluate the clinical value and relationship between the serum levels of the Pro-gastrin-releasing peptide 31-98 (ProGRP) , neuron-specific enolase NSE and the different pathohistology types of lung cancer. Methods 353 lung cancer patients were divided into two groups according to pathohistology types: SCLC group( n = 96), NSCLC group( n = 257). 90 lung benign lesion were taken as control group. ProGRP and neu-ron specific enolase in all patients were detected by ELISA. The levels of the ProGRP, NSE and the clinical value were compared among lung cancer,lung benign lesion patients and the different pathohistology types of lung cancer patients . Results The levels of the ProGRP and NSE of SCLC and NSCLC group were higher obviously than that of lung benign lesion( P <0.01 ). In SCLC diagnosis, the sensitivity, specificity, Youden index and Kappa value of the ProGRP and NSE were O. 7708,0. 9444,0. 7153,0.7111 and 0. 7604,0. 8778 ,0. 6382 ,0. 6355 in the monomial de-tection ; Those indexes above were 0.7604,0. 9667,0.7271 and 0. 7221 in combined assay of ProGRP + NSE( on se-quence test) ; and were O. 8229,0.9000,0. 7229 and 0. 7209 in combined assay of ProGRP + NSE( on parallell test). In NSCLC diagnosis,the above indexes were all lower. Conclusions in SCLC diagnosis,the detection of the serum ProGRP is superior to the detection of NSE, the combined assay of ProGRP + NSE (on parallell test) and Pro-GRP + NSE( on sequence test) are superior to the monomial detection of the ProGRP or NSE,and the combined as-say of ProGRP + NSE(on parallell test) is superiro to ProGRP + NSE(on sequence test) ; The diagnosis value of the monomial arid united detection of ProGRP and NSE to NSCLC is not as expected.
