ABSTRACT
Circular RNA (circRNA) is a widely present endogenous noncoding RNA that is covalently bonded at the 3' and 5' ends via trans-splicing to form a closed-loop structure with high stability, biological evolutionary conservatism,and tissue expression specificity. CircRNA has important biological functions, such as playing the role of microRNA (miRNA) sponge, regulating the expression of a par-ent gene, and improving transcription and translation levels. In gastrointestinal tumor, circRNA mainly plays the role of miRNA sponge, which affects the proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and invasion of cancer cells. In addition, circRNA was specifically expressed in the tumor, and the expression level significantly differs from that of paracancer. Therefore, a highly conserved and stable circRNA se-quence is expected to be an early diagnosis and prognostic marker for gastrointestinal tumor. In this study, we review research advanc-es on circRNA and its relationship with gastrointestinal cancers (esophageal, gastric, colorectal, and liver cancers).
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant to(piperacillin/tazobactam Tazocin) enterobacteriaceae bacteria isolated from blood.METHODS Enterobacteriaceae isolates were isolated from blood specimens in our hospital from Jan 2003 to Dec 2008.The identification of Enterobacteriaceae isolates was performed by VITEK-32 Full Automated Microbiology Analyzer.Antimicrobial susceptibility test was determined by K-B disk diffusion test.RESULTS A total of 344 strains of Enterobacteriaceae isolates were obtained from blood,including 175 strains(50.9%) of Escherichia coli,129 strains(34.9%) of Klebsiella pneumoniae,39 strains(11.3%) of Enterobacter cloacae and 10 strains(2.9%) of Proteus mirabilis.The resistant rate of Enterobacteriaceae isolates to Tazocin was 15.1%.The resistant rates of E.coli,K.pneumoniae and E.cloacae to Tazocin were 16%,16.7%and 10.3%,but all isolates of P.mirabilis were sensitive to Tazocin.The resistant rates of E.coli and K.pneumoniae to Tazocin increased from 9.1% and 8.0% in 2005 to 22.7% and 21.6% in 2008.CONCLUSIONS Most of isolates including E.coli and K.pneumoniae are detected from blood.Tazocin has high antimicrobial activity for Enterobacteriaceae bacteria.The resistance of E.coli and K.pneumoniae to Tazocin is increasing gradually.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To study the curative effect and mechanism of ulinastatin (UTI) administered by two different routes for severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). METHODS: 50 healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: sham operation (SO) group (fed with water ad libitum), SAP model group, positive control(nafamostat) group, ulinastatin peripheral venous perfusion group, and ulinastatin celiac arterial perfusion group. SAP model was established in the latter four groups, and then the rats were treated with corresponding drugs. 12h later, sample tissues were taken from pancreas and lungs for measurement of MPO level and histopathologic observation and the blood samples were collected for measurement of serum amylase, TNF-? and TXB2. RESULTS: Levels of amylase, TNF-?, TXB2, MPO and Hughes histopathologic scores of pancreas and lungs in all drug-treated groups were significantly lower than in SAP group (P
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate the resistance status of pathogens from surgical incision infection.METHODS The secretion of infected wounds was cultured to detect pathogens by routine methods from Jan 2001 to Dec 2006.The identifications and antimicrobial-susceptible tests of pathogens causing incision infection were determined by Full Automated Analyzer.All data were analyzed retrospectively.RESULTS A total of 246 pathogen strains were cultured from the secretion of surgical incision infection in 6 years,of which Gram-negative bacilli,Gram-positive cocci and fungi accounted for 57.7%,34.1% and 8.2%,respectively.The first place of isolates was Escherichia coli,followed by Staphylococcus aureus,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Acinetobacter baumannii,etc.74.5% of S.aureus isolates and 83.3% of S.epidermidis isolates were resistant to oxacillin.45.1% of E.coli of the isolates and 35.0% of isolates of K.pneumoniae were extended-spectrum ?-lactamases producing.Almost all of the detected resistant strains showed serious multiple resistance.Vancomycin and imipenem still had better activity for antimicrobial multiple resistant bacteria.CONCLUSIONS Surgical incision infection is serious.Infection surveillance should be taken to control surgical infection.Pathogens infected surgical incision are multi-resistant to antibiotics.
