Association of polymorphisms of NAPE-PLD and FAAH genes with schizophrenia in Chinese Han population / 中华医学遗传学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To assess the association of polymorphisms of N-acyl-phosphatidylethanolamine-phospholipase D (DAPE-PLD) and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) genes, as well as their interaction, with schizophrenia.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Polymorphisms of NAPE-PLD rs12540583 and FAAH rs324420, rs2295633, and rs6429600 were determined with PCR - restriction fragment length polymorphism assay and Sanger sequencing. The genotypes of 345 subjects of Han Chinese origin diagnosed with schizophrenia and a 403 controls were compared. The results were analyzed with SPSS 17.0, and the interaction of the two genes was analyzed using a multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The frequency of NAPE-PLD rs12540583 polymorphism was significantly different between the two groups under both dominant and additive models (χ2=17.18 vs. χ2=18.94, P<0.0125). The frequencies of AC genotype and C allele of the patient group at rs12540583 were higher than those of the controls, and the interaction of NAPE-PLD and FAAH was associated with schizophrenia. A four-loci model (rs12540583, rs324420, rs2295633 and rs6429600) can best model the interaction between NAPE-PLD and FAAH.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The AC genotype and C allele of NAPE-PLD rs12540583 locus are risk factors for schizophrenia, and the interaction between NAPE-PLD rs12540583 and FAAH rs324420, rs2295633 and rs6429600 is associated with schizophrenia.</p>

Analysis on distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria of pus in patients with acute mastitis / 国际检验医学杂志

Objective To explore the bacterial flora distribution characteristics and drug resistance of pus bacterial culture in a‐cute mastitis and to analyze thechange trend of drug resistance spectrum to provide a evidence‐based basis for the rational use of an‐timicrobial agents in clinic .Methods The pus collected from 207 cases of acute mastitis was conducted the bacterial culture .The bacterial identification and antibacterial susceptibility test were performed by adopting the manual experiment combined with the DL‐96 system .Partial drug susceptibility test was performed by combining with the K‐B method .Results Among 207 specimens , 82 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected with the detection rate of 39 .6% ,including 51 strains (62 .2% ) of staphylococcus aureus ,7 strains (8 .5% ) of pseudomonas aeruginosa ,4 strains (4 .9% ) of staphylococcus intermedius ,4 strains (4 .9% ) of staphy‐lococcus epidermis ,3 strains (3 .7% ) of acid‐producing klebsiella bacteria and each 1 strain of staphylococcus hemolyticus and other 13 kinds of bacterium .The resistance rates of staphylococcus aureus to azithromycin ,erythromycin and clarithromycin were 92 .2% ,84 .3% and 84 .3% respectively ,indicating that macrolides drugs had a higher overall drug resistance rate and were not suitable for selection and use;the resistance rates of moxifloxacin and ciprofloxacin were 3 .9% and 4 .1% respectively ,the MRSA detection rate was 27 .5% .The resistance rates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to ticarcillin/clavulanic acid was 85 .7% ;the drug resitance rate of cefoperazone was 83 .3% ;which of gentamycin and amikacin was 71 .4% ;which of aztreonam was 14 .3% ;which of ceftazidime was 28 .6% and which of meropenem was 28 .6% .Conclusion The majority of detected bacteria in pus from the pa‐tients with acute mastitis are Staphylococcus aureus ,followed by pseudomonas aeruginosa ,which is different from that reported by other literatures ,showing the bacterial distribution has regional difference .Staphylococcus aureus has high resistance rate to macrol‐ides antibacterial drugs ,but is highly sensitive to ciprofloxacin and moxifloxacin;Pseudomonas aeruginosa has higher resistant rate to ticarcillin/clavulanic and cefoperazone ,but it is highly sensitive to aztreonam ,ceftazidime and meropenem .Empirical medication should be comprehensively considered by combining with drug resistance spectrum of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ,and the sensitive drugs should be selected according to the drug susceptibility results after the antimicrobial susceptibili‐ty test for conducting the targeted medication .
