Objective:To investigate the effects of compound fermented milk on intestinal microbiota, short chain fatty acid (SCFA), intestinal motility and mucosal barrier in mice with constipation.Methods:Twenty-seven C57BL/6JNifdc mice were randomly divided into three groups: control group, model group and intervention group. The model group and the intervention group were given loperamide intragastrically for two weeks. Starting from the second week, the intervention group was treated with compound fermented milk for 7 d. The control group was given normal saline. Food intake, water intake, weight change, fecal moisture content, time of first-time black stool and small intestine propulsion rate were detected. Expression of serotonin C receptor (5-HTR2C), zona occludins-1 (ZO-1) and mucin-2 (MUC-2) at mRNA level in colon was analyzed. Western blot was used to measure the expression of Raf/ERK/MAPK-related proteins. SCFA level in intestinal tract was detected by gas chromatography. Intestinal microbiota diversity was analyzed by high-throughput sequencing.Results:Compared with the control group, the first black stool excretion time was significantly prolonged in the model group ( P<0.01). Moreover, fecal moisture content, small intestine propulsion rate and the expression of 5-HTR2C and ZO-1 at mRNA level in colon were significantly decreased ( P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the first black stool excretion time was significantly shortened ( P<0.05); fecal moisture content, small intestine propelling rate ( P<0.05), the expression of colon 5-HTR2C and ZO-1 at mRNA level ( P<0.05), phosphorylation of Raf/ERK/MAPK pathway in the colon, intestinal SCFA-producing bacteria and intestinal SCFA content were increased in the intervention group. Conclusions:Compound fermented milk had a therapeutic effect on constipation in a mouse model by increasing the abundance of SCFA-producing bacteria and SCFA content, enhancing the phosphorylation of the Raf/ERK/MAPK pathway to up-regulate the expression of 5-HTR2C at mRNA level in the colon, and increasing the expression of ZO-1 at mRNA level in the colon. Intestinal peristalsis and intestinal mucosal barrier function were enhanced, thus improving the symptom of constipation.

Objective:To explore the whole genome sequencing of carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP), reveal the prevalence of drug-resistance in CRKP, and guide the prevention and control of nosocomial infection. Methods:The CRKP isolates in Bengbu Third People′s Hospital from November 2018 to March 2019 was collected, and the strain identification and drug susceptibility testing were carried out using VITEK-2 Compact analyzer. The whole genome of selected CRKP was sequenced by Illumina Hiseq 2500 platform, spliced with spades-2.0 sequence, analyzed and extracted the core gene and drug-resistant genotype by cgMLST, and constructed the bacterial association map and transmission map by Scotti software.Results:Among the 19 CRKP strains, 13 were CT3176 genotype, 2 were CT1313 and 2 were CT1689, and 2 were other CRKP strains. CT3176 was distributed mainly in the Department of critical care medicine and was in epidemic status. The strains mainly carried blaKPC-2 (19/19), blaCTX-M-65 (19/19), blaSHV-11 (16/19), blaTEM-1B (14/19), and aminoglycosides. Among them, aadA2 (14/19), rmtB (14/19), AAC(3)-Ⅱd (12/19), armA (11/19), mph (E) (11/19), msr (E) (11/19), mph (A) (10/19), fosA6 (19/19) and other resistant genes were detected. Software analysis showed that the strains numbered 7 and 29, and strains numbered 12 and 17 had 42% and 37% transmission rate repectively, but that of the other strains remain low.Conclusions:By using the whole genome sequencing of microorganisms, strain typing, drug resistance genes, and the homology of strains can be determined, strain association map and transmission map can be built. That can effectively guide the development of nosocomial infection prevention and control in hospitals.

Objective To analyze the impact of Helicobacter pylori standard strain (Hp P12) and its virulence factor vacuolating cytotoxin A ( VacA) on DNA damage and homologous recombination ( HR) repair in a human gastric epithelial cell line (GES-1). Methods Strains of Hp P12 and vacA gene knock-out Hp P12 ( Hp P12 ΔvacA) were respectively used to infect GES-1 cells at a multiplicity of infection of 100. GES-1 cells treated with etoposide (50μmol/L) or mitomycin (0. 5μg/ml) for 2 h were used as posi-tive control. Western blot and immunofluorescence were performed to detect the expression of DNA damage marker protein γH2AX and key HR repair proteins (Rad51, pMRE11, CtIP and pCtIP) and the recruitment of them at DNA damage sites. Human embryonic kidney HEK-293 ( DR-GFP) cells were infected with Hp P12 and Hp P12 ΔvacA strains to verify the impact of VacA on HR repair efficiency. Results The expres-sion and recruitment of γH2AX and key HR repair proteins ( Rad51, pMRE11, CtIP and pCtIP) were in-creased in Hp P12-infected cells as compared with that in uninfected and Hp P12 ΔvacA-infected cells ( all P<0. 05). To evaluate the HR repair efficiency, I-SceⅠ plasmid-transfected HEK-293 (DR-GFP) cells were infected with Hp P12 and Hp P12 ΔvacA and the results showed that green fluorescent protein ( GFP)-positive cells were decreased after infection, especially in Hp P12 ΔvacA-infected cells (both P<0. 05). Conclusions Hp P12 infection could cause DNA damage and promote HR repair in GES-1 cells, in which the virulence factor VacA played an important role.

Objective To investigate the effects of cholesterol-lowering probiotics, DM9054 com-bined with 86066, on the intestinal mucosal barrier and gut microbiota in mice with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD) induced by high-fat diet and the possible mechanisms. Methods Twenty-four male mice deficient in the low-density lipoprotein receptor gene ( Ldlr- / - mice ) were randomly divided into three groups including control, NAFLD model and probiotic intervention groups. Mice in the three groups were given normal chow diet+normal saline, high-fat diet ( HFD)+normal saline, and HFD+cholesterol-lowering probiotics, respectively. The mouse model of NAFLD was established by feeding mice with high-fat diet (45% of calories derived from fat diet) for 12 weeks. qPCR was performed to measure the expression of liv-er and intestinal inflammatory genes and liver cholesterol synthesis genes. Western blot assay was used to de-tect the expression of intestinal tight junction proteins and HMG-CoA reductase ( HMGCR ) . Pathological changes in tissues were evaluated by HE staining. Features of gut microbiota were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Results Cholesterol-lowering probiotics intervention attenuated HFD-induced hepatic steatosis, inflammatory responses and obesity and decreased the synthesis of liver cholesterol (P<0. 05). Moreover, inhibited gut inflammatory responses and improved intestinal barrier function were detected in the probiotic intervention group (P<0. 05). The composition of gut microbiota in mice of the probiotic intervention group was different from that of the model group, but similar to that of the control group. Con-clusions Cholesterol-lowering probiotics might attenuate NAFLD in mice through reducing liver cholesterol synthesis, alleviating liver and intestinal inflammation, improving intestinal mucosal barrier function and reg-ulating intestinal microbiota.

Zuckerkandl tubercle is the extension of thyriod gland. For the past few years, more and more surgeons and anatomists have become interested in it. Clinically, surgeons usually rely on specified anatomical landmarks to avoid injuries to the recurrent laryngeal nerve, including the laryngeal branches and the superior parathyroid in thyroid surgery, such as the bottom corner of the thyroid cartilage, the inferior thyroid artery, lower pole of thyroid, tracheoesophageal groove, suspensory ligament of thyroid gland and so on. As the specified landmarks, they have several common characteristics:on the one hand, their location should be constant; on the other hand, they should be easy to observe and touch, meanwhile convenient and practical.As a new anatomical landmark, Zuckerkandl tubercle is in accordance with the above characteristics and prevalent in the population. Therefore, Zuckerkandl tubercle could become an important landmark to identify the the recurrent laryngeal nerve, including the laryngeal branches and the superior parathyroid in thyroid surgery. This essay aims to briefly analyze the role of Zuckerkandl tubercle in thyroid surgery.

BACKGROUND: Endothelium-dependent vasodilatation (EDD) has been assessed by intracoronary acetylcholine infusion and digital subtraction angiography. However, its applications in continuous observing on early onset, progression and outcomes of clinical interventions of the disease are limited due to the potential trauma of the method. OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to assess the changes in brachial EDD in patients with hyperlipidemia using high-resolution ultrasound and to compare the outcomes of the patients to those of the healthy individuals. DESIGN: Case-control study SETTING: This study was carried out at the Cardiology Department and the Ultrasound Department of Xinyang CentralHospital PARTICIPANTS: Sixty patients with hyperlipidemia, 37 males and 23females, with an age ranging from 36 to 75 years old, were selected at the Cardiology Department of Xinyang Central Hospital from May 2001 to March 2002. They were divided into 3 groups according to abnormalities in blood lipid, as hypercholesterolemia group (HC, 20 cases),hypertriacylglycerolemia group (HTG, 20 cases) and mixed hyperlipidemia group (HLP,20 cases). Twenty voluntary individuals with normal physical examination findings were allocated into control group, 12 males and 8 females. Informed consents were obtained from all the eligible. METHODS: The brachial artery inner diameter and the changes in blood flow of the brachial artery were assessed using high-resolution ultrasound.After the patients having a rest for more than 10 minutes, the inner diameter (D0) and the baseline blood flow of their brachial artery were measured. The blood pressure cuff was placed under the elbow with a pressure at 300 mm Hg, lasting for 4 to 5 minutes and followed with a sudden deflation. 15 s after deflation, the reactive brachial artery inner diameter (D1) and the blood flow of the brachial artery were detected. The patients took another rest for more than 15 minutes and after the artery restored to a normal condition,the patients took nitroglycerol sublingually at a dose of 400 μg. Three to four minutes later, the brachial artery inner diameter (D2) and the blood flow of the brachial artery were detected. The increasing rate of the inner diameter of brachial artery were calculated, the increasing rate of reactive brachial artery inner diameter (%)= (D1-D0)/D0×100% and the increasing rate of post-treatment brachial artery inner diameter (%)=(D2-D0)/D0 ×100%.Meanwhile, the increasing rate of reactive blood flow (%)=(reactive blood flow-baseline blood flow)/ baseline blood flow (100% and the increasing rate of post-treatment blood flow (%)=(the post-treatment blood flow-baseline blood flow)/baseline blood flow×100%. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:In three hyperlipidemia groups and the control group, the inner diameter of the brachial artery were measured under resting conditions, in reactive congestion status and after sublingual nitroglycerol treatment respectively using high-resolution ultrasound. RESULTS: All the 60 patients with hyperlipidemia and 20 healthy controls entered the analysis procedure. In HC group, HTG group and HLP group, the increasing rate of reactive brachial-artery inner diameter were significantly lower than that in control group [(5.7±3.2)%, (5.4±3.0)%,(3.8±2.4)%, (11.3±3.1)%,P < 0.05], which was most significant in HLP group. The increasing rate of both the reactive and the post-treatment blood flow in three experimental groups and the increasing rate of the post-treatment brachial-artery inner diameter were not significant (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION:EDD were impaired significantly in patients with hyperlipidemia. High-resolution ultrasound is capable of assessing EDD accurately and reliably.
