Resistance and Gene Detection in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from Patients with Cerebral Surgical Incision Infection / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To analyze the resistance and gene existing in 7 extended-spectrum beta-lactamases(ESBLs)producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains from patients after cerebral surgical operation.METHODS Susceptibility test,ESBLs screening and nucleotide sequencing for PCR products of ?-lactamase BLA such as CTX-M,TEM,OXA,SHV,GES,PER and VEB were taken.RESULTS seven isolates of K.pneumoniae may have closed relation with CTX-M positive.CONCLUSIONS The little outbreak might be caused by these 7 homologous strains in the same.

Drug Combination on in vitro Activities of Multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the in vitro inhibitory effects of antibacterials in combination carbapenem against multiresistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.METHODS The protocol was designed by checkboard method and the MIC of the two antibiotics in combination was determined by broth dilution method.FIC was calculated according to MIC results.RESULTS The MIC50 and MIC90 of eight kinds of antibiotics were lower to 1-16 times and 1-64 times,respectively.The synergistic and additive antibacterial activity was seen in ceftazidime with amikacin,piperacillin with tobramycin and azlocillin with sulbactam.The lomefloxacine with ampicillin and lomefloxacine with ceftriaxone were not correlated.CONCLUSIONS Antibacterial activity of ceftazidime combined with amikacin against carbapenem-multiresistant P.aeruginosa is the best.

Interleukin-6 is involved in the enhanced proliferation of HEK293 cells by the tumor specific antigen of HCA520 / 北京大学学报(医学版)

Objective: To investigate the effect of tumor specific antigen of HCA520 on the proliferation of HEK293 cells and to obtain some functional implications for HCA520. Methods: MTT assay was performed with HEK293 stable cell lines transfected with pcDNA3-HCA520-flag construct. Cytokines probably involved in HCA520 enhanced proliferation were screened by RT-PCR, and effect of these cytokines on the HEK293 cell proliferation was further confirmed by MTT assay. Results: HCA520 significantly promoted the proliferation of HEK293 cells, which was at least partially attributed to the up-regulation of IL-6 in HEK293 cells by HCA520. Conclusion: HCA520 might accelerate tumorigenesis by promoting proliferation of cancerous cells.
