ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the contamination status of Salmonella, Vibrio parahaemo-lyticus and Staphylococcus aureus and bacterial resistance in retail meat products in Taiyuan, Shanxi Prov-ince. Methods In the epidemic season of diarrhea in 2017, poultry and meat product specimens were ran-domly collected from the farmer's markets and supermarkets of 10 districts and counties of Taiyuan. Salmo-nella, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Staphylococcus aureus were isolated form these specimens. Serotypes of Salmonella strains were analyzed. ELSIA was used to detect Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin (A-E). Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolates were tested for the virulence genes encoding direct hemolysin (tdh) and indirect hemolysin (trh). Antibiotic resistance of the three food-borne pathogens were analyzed using microdilution methods. Results A total of 38 food-borne pathogens were isolated from 123 poultry and livestock meat product specimens with a positive rate of 30. 9％ , of which mainly were Salmonella (26 strains, 21. 1％ ), followed by Vibrio parahaemolyticus (8 strains, 6. 5％ ) and Staphylococcus aureus (4 strains, 3. 3％ ). The 26 strains of Salmonella belonged to 10 serotypes. The Salmonella strains isolated from pork specimens had diverse serotypes. Salmonella serovar Derby, Salmonella serovar Gold-coast and Salmonella serovar Liver-pool were isolated from raw and cooked pork food for the first time in Taiyuan. All Salmonella strains isolated form chicken products were Salmonella enteritis. The enterotoxin types of the four Staphylococcus aureus strains were three E-type and one complex type (A/ E). All Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolates were negative for tdh or trh gene. Ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulphonamides and tetracyclines (ACSSuT) resistance was prevalent in multi-drug resistant (MDR) Salmonella strains, but there was high sensitivity to fluoroquinolones and cephalosporins. MDR Staphylococcus aureus accounted for 75％ . No third-generation cephalosporin- or fluoroquinolone-resistant or MDR Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains were isolated. Conclu-sions There were food-borne multi-pathogenic bacteria contamination in retail raw and cooked meat prod-ucts in Taiyuan. Salmonella strains had diverse serotypes and high MDR rate. It was suggested that the regu-latory authorities should strengthen the management of antibiotic use in aquaculture and specialized laborato-ry-based monitoring of meat supply chain.
ABSTRACT
Aim To investigate the effect of adenosine on the autophagy and proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells, and improve the curative effect of a-denosine on hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods HepG2 cells were incubated with adenosine, CCK-8 method was used to study the changes of cell prolifera-tion,Western blot was used to study the expression of LC3-Ⅱ and LC3-Ⅰ, and MDC staining was used to observe the number of autophagosomes. Results HepG2 cells were incubated with adenosine(1.0~4.0 mmol·L-1) for 48 h,the proliferation of HepG2 cells were detected at the different time points (12,24,48 h),and the result showed the proliferation was signifi-cantly inhibited by adenosine (P < 0.01). HepG2 cells were incubated with adenosine (0.2,0.5,1.0, 2.0,4.0 mmol·L-1) for 24 h,the ratio of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ decreased significantly in low concentration of adenosine group (0.2, 0.5 mmol·L-1, P <0.05;1.0 mmol·L-1,P<0.01),and the ratio of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ increased significantly in higher concentration of adenosine group (4.0 mmol·L-1, P <0.05). HepG2 cells were incubated with adenosine(1.0 mmol·L-1) for 24 h, the ratio of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ de-creased significantly at 6,12 and 24 h detecting point, the number of autophagosomes were reduced, the low-est ratio of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ and autophagosomes were observed at 12 h detecting point(P<0.01). Conclu-sions Adenosine inhibits the proliferation of hepato-cellular carcinoma cells,the low concentration of aden-osine inhibits the autophagy,while the high concentra-tion of adenosine increases the autophagy, which is of great significance to reduce multi-drug resistance and improve the therapeutic effect of anti-hepatoma drugs.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the correlation between carbapenem consumption and resistance to carbapenems among the frequent gram-negative bacteria and provide the basis for rational use of drugs. Methods Retrospective review was used to calculate the DDDs of carbapenems(impenem and meropenem) per 100 persons per day from the year of 2004 to 2016 and resistant rate of the frequent gram-negative bacteria(Acinetobacter baumannii,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Klebsiella pneumoniae,and Escherich-ia coli).The correlation of drug usage and resistance were analyzed by SPSS 17.0 software. Results The study demonstrated that carbapenem usage was strongly correlated with imipenem and meropenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii,Klebsiella pneumoniae, while has no significant correlation with Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Escherichia coli. Conclusion The growing problem of gram-negative bacteria resistant to carbapenems was strongly related to the high consumption of carbapenems.It also suggested that opti-mum antibiotic use was necessary to alleviate the threat posed by resistant microorganisms at the hospital level.
ABSTRACT
Objective Discuss and analyze Staphylococcusaureus in isolation and drug resistance in patients with pediatric re-spiratory infection,providing guidelines for clinical treatment on the control of infection.Approaches collect 5 413 cases of respiratory tract infection from Jan.2013 to Dec.2014 in patients (including pediatrics neonatology)with sputum specimens, applying MicroScan-As4 automated Microbes Identification analyzer to identify and test drug sensitiveness of the separated strains,using Whonet 5.6 for statistical analysis.Results 1 540 strains of 29 different pathogenic bacteria were isolate from pediatric patients with respiratory tract infection,among which there were 336 strains (21.82%,336/1540)of Staphylococ-cus aureus (SAU,S.aureus),more than 1/5 of the total of pathogenic bacteria.And the isolation rate of pediatric respiratory tract infection accounted for 6.2 1%,significantly higher than that of other pathogenic bacteria isolation rate (with the excep-tion of Haemophilus influenzae>5%,the rest all<5%).In all detected SAU,methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)occpied 59 strains (17.56%,59/336),which indicated that SAU played a leading place in patients with pediatric respiratory infection.The antimicrobial drug resistance rate of SAU against vancomycin,Nai thiazoleamine,daptomycin,and Quinupristin was 0,whereas to other antibiotics it showed different degrees of resistance.The drug resistance rate of MRSA to penicillin and ampicillin,oxacillin,ampicillin/sulbactam,amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and cefazolin,ceftriaxone was 100%,to erythromycin,clindamycin over 50%,to other antimicrobial resistance in low resistance.Conclusion There were more SAU in children with respiratory infection;especially MRSA bears multi drug resistance.Therefore,the monitoring of drug resist-ance of Staphylococcus aureus should be strengthened,and antimicrobial drugs should be rationally chosen according to the results of drug sensitive test for individuals,so that resistant strains can be under effective control and kept being reduced from emergence.

ABSTRACT
Endoplasmic reticulum is an important organelle in eu-karyotic cells.Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)is usually triggered under cell hypoxia,carbohydrate undersupply or medi-cal treatment.Now,present studies show that ERS could activate several cell signal pathways and the UPR pathway is most widely researched.When UPR activates cell signal pathway,it can reg-ulate cancer drug resistance by involving with DNA damage re-pair,apoptotic suppression and autophagy.

ABSTRACT
Studies indicate that miRNAs correlate closely with tumorigenesis and tumor biological be-haviors, and play a significant role as a kind of regnlating factor in tumorigenesis, tumor cells proliferation, dif-ferentiation, apoptosis, invasion and metastasis, as well as in drug resistance of tumors. Further study of the targets and mechanisms of miRNA may be helpful to recognize the characterization of tumor biology and etiolo-gy, and bring new strategies for tumor therapy.
