ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the specimen source and drug resistance in the strains of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from the submitted samples in the neurosurgery wards of our hospital during 2011-2014 in order to provide the reference for clini‐cal treatment and nosocomial infection control .Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of clinical dis‐tribution and antibacterial drugs sensitivity in 404 non‐repeated strains of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from the samples of neurosurgical patients .Results The mainly specimen source of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from neurosurgical patients was sputum and cerebrospinal fluid ,accounting for 89 .1% and 7 .9% respectively .Acinetobacter baumannii isolates showed the lowest resistance rates to minocycline and cefoperazone/sulbactam (28 .6% and 31 .8% respectively) .The resistance rates to imipenem and meropenem were 79 .4% and 83 .2% respectively ;the resistance rate to other antibacterial drugs exceeded 69 .0% .Conclusion Acinetobacter baumanii strains isolated from the neurosurgery department have higher resistance rates to many kinds of antibacteri‐al agents ,minocycline and cefoperazone/sulbactam still has good in vitro antibacterial activity against Acinetobacter baumanii .Clinic should strengthen the management of antibacterial agents ,increases the rate of drug susceptibility test and rationally uses the anti‐bacterial drugs .
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes in northeast Sichuan area.Methods A total of 8 053 adult residents(over 18 years old)from the hospital who had underwent physical examination were recruited in the study.The concentrations of Fasting plasma glucose(FPG),glycated hemoglobin A1c(HbA1C)and blood lipids were measured.Diabetes and prediabetes were defined according to the 2013 American Diabetes Association criteria.Results The FPG and HbA1C concentra-tions increased with age.The overall prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes were estimated to be 8.5% and 39.6% in the adult pop-ulation in northeast sichuan area respectively.The prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes in men were significantly higher than those in women(10.7% vs.5.7%,41.5% vs.37.2%,P <0.05,respectively).Furthermore,the prevalence of diabetes increased with age,and the prevalence of prediabetes had a trend of first enhancement followed by a decline.Conclusion The prevalence of diabe-tes and prediabetes are relatively high in northeast Sichuan area.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the specimen source and antibiotics resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from in‐patient in Intensive Care Unit(ICU) .Methods Specimen source and antibiotics resistance of 520 strains of Acinetobacter bauman‐nii ,isolated from patients of ICU in Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from 2011 to 2014 ,were retrospectively analyzed .Results The main source of Acinetobacter baumannii was sputum specimens ,accounting for 90 .4% .Acinetobacter bau‐mannii isolates showed the lowest resistance rates to cefoperazone‐sulbactam and minocycline(32 .0% and 25 .2% ,respectively) .A‐bout 68 .1% and 74 .9% of these strains were resistant to trimethoprim‐sulfamethoxazole and levofloxacin ,respectively .More than 86 .0% of the strains were resistant to other tested antibacterial agents .Conclusion Acinetobacter baumanii strains ,isolated from ICU ,could have high resistance rates to many kinds of antibacterial agents ,and cefoperazone‐sulbactam and minocycline might be with fine antibacterial activity against Acinetobacter baumanii .Drug resistance monitoring of Acinetobacter baumanii should be strengthened ,and antibacterial agents should be selected and used rationally according to the results of drug sensitivity test .
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between different genotype infection and multiple infection of human papil‐lomavirus(HPV) with cervical lesions among the women in Northeast region of Sichuan province .Methods The cervical exfoliated cells in 213 women with HPV infection were performed the HPV genetype detection by the gene chip technique and the cervical le‐sion degree was also detected .Results 213 cases of cervial lesion with positive HPV infection were divided into five groups accord‐ing to pathological examination results :chronic inflammation(110 cases) ,cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN) Ⅰ (21 cases) ,CINⅡ (26 cases ) ,CIN Ⅲ (28 cases ) and cervical cancer (28 cases) .The high risk HPV infection was dominated by the genotype HPV16 ,58 ,33 ,18 and the low risk HPV infection was dominated by the HPV genotype 11 ,6 .The HPV genotype HPV11/6/16 , HPV16/33 ,HPV16/6 ,HPV16/58 and HPV16/18 infection were most common in the chronic cervial inflammation ,CIN Ⅰ ,CINⅡ ,CIN Ⅲ and cervical cancer groups .The constituent ratio of different cervical lesions had statistical difference between the simple high risk HPV infection group and the low risk HPV infection group (χ2 = 41 .01 ,P 0 .05) .Conclusion HPV 16 ,58 ,33 ,18 are the main high risk HPV genotypes among women in the northeast region of Sichuan province ,HPV 16 is significantly related with the cervial lesion degree ;multiple HPV genotype infection does not promote the progress of cervical lesion .
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the distribution and the infection status of human papillomavirus (HPV)genotype in male outpatients with sexually transmitted diseases (STD)in Northeast of Sichuan.Methods Totally 259 male outpatients with STD were performed to examine for HPV-DNA genotype by using Polymerase chain reaction and gene chip technolo-gy.Results 202 samples had positive HPV among 259 samples,the positive rate was 77.99%.Among 202 samples of HPV infection,60.89% were infected by single HPV genetype,26.24% were infected by two HPV genetypes,12.87% were in-fected by multiple HPV genetypes;27.41% were infected by high risk HPV genotypes,74.13% were infected by low risk HPV genotypes.In the rate of HPV genetype infection,the percentages of HPV6,HPV11,HPV16,HPV43,HPV33 and HPV58 were 52.97%,48.51%,16.34%,6.93%,5.45% and 5.45% respectively,and the rates of other HPV genetype in-fection were less than 5.00%.Among different age groups of men,there were insignificant differences in the infection rates of HPV (χ2=2.31,P>0.05),but there were statistical significance in the infection rates of high risk HPV subtypes (χ2=9.79,P<0.05).Conclusion The situation of HPV infection was comparatively severe and the mainly HPV infection types were low risk HPV genotypes infection or single HPV genetype infection in Northeast of Sichuan male outpatients with STD.The most frequent infection of high risk HPV subtypes was HPV16,and the nexts were HPV33 and HPV58;HPV6 and 1 1 subtypes were the most HPV subtypes among the low risk HPV infections.
ABSTRACT
Clinical interns in the clinical microbiology laboratory not only need to accomplish the practice required in the syllabus but also need to be trained in the following aspects: laboratory biosafety, basic and important technical skills, potential guiding function of the original specimen smear, overall quality management, quick provide of microbiological sample information, communi-cation between microbiological laboratory and clinical departments, detection and significance of com-mon drug-resistant bacteria, etc. Based on these training, they might have a comprehensive and sys-tematic understanding of clinical microbiological testing and get improved in their professional quality and employment competitiveness thus to build a solid foundation for clinical work in the future.
ABSTRACT
Objective To obtain purified ClpP produced by prokaryotic expression system,and to evaluate the protection effect elicited by ClpP in animal protection test.Methods The template DNA was isolated from the culture of TIGR4 Streptococcus pneumoniae.The complete ClpP open reading frame(ORF)was cloned into pET-32a expression vector by gene recombination technology in vitro.After prokaryotic expression,purification and sequence identification,the recombinant ClpP were innoculated into mice,and at the same time a group of mice were inoculated with the antibody to ClpP.We monitored the survival time of the innoculated mice after being challenged intraperitoneally with,TIGR4.Results We obtained high-expressed recombinant antigen protein which was then identified by Western blot,and we have got the recombinant antigen protein with a purity of more than 90%after being purified through Ni2+ affinity chromatography and processed by dialysis.The sunrvival time of mice immunized with ClpP or ClpP antibody were significantly langer than that of the mice received PBS.Conclusion The recombinant ClpP antigen protein can elicit protection to the invasive S.pneumoniae infection in mice,which might make ClpP as a candidate of S.pneumoniae vaccine.
