Enhanced anti-leukemic activity of decitabine to leukemia HL-60 cells by anti-miR-21 oligonucleotide / 中国病理生理杂志

AIM:To investigate the role of anti-miR-21 oligonucleotide ( AMO) in the anti-leukemic activity of decitabine (DCA) in vitro.METHODS:AMO and scramble oligonucleotide (SCR) were constructed and transfected into HL-60 cells.The miR-21 expression was analyzed by real-time PCR to identify the transfection efficiency .The cells were treated with DCA at gradient concentrations (0.5, 2.0 and 4.0 μmol/L) for 48 h.The mRNA expression of human period circadian protein 3 (hPer3) was detected by real-time PCR.The early apoptotic rates were determined by flow cy-tometry with Annexin V/PI staining.Mean fluorescence intensities ( MFI) of CD117 and CD11b were also measured by flow cytometry.RESULTS:The miR-21 relative expression level in AMO group was significantly lower than that in blank group and SCR group (P<0.01).IC50 of DCA in AMO group was significantly lower than that in blank group and SCR group (P<0.01).With the same concentration of DCA, the early apoptotic rate, the mRNA expression of hPer3 and the MFI of CD11b in AMO group were significantly higher than those in blank group and SCR group (P<0.01).The MFI of CD117 in AMO group were significantly lower than those in blank group and SCR group ( P<0.01 ) .CONCLUSION:Activation of hPer3 expression plays an important role in enhanced anti-leukemic activity of decitabine by AMO in vitro.

Correlation analysis of lower respiratory tract fungal infection in hospital of Zhoushan archipelago area / 中华传染病杂志

Objective To study the microbial strains,risk factors and resistance profiles of lower respiratory tract fungal infection in hospital of Zhoushan archipelago area.Methods A total of 204 patients who were hospitalized for lower respiratory tract infection were retrospectively analyzed from May 2008 to April 2011 in Zhoushan archipelago area,and collected 204 fungal strains isolated from confirmed lower respiratory tract fungal infection cases.Chi-square test and Logistic regression analysis were performed.Results Among the 204 fungal strains isolated from lower respiratory tract specimens,110 (53.8％) strains of Candidaalbicans,32 (15.7％) strains of Candida tropicalis,24 (11.8％) strains of Candida glabrata,12 (5.9％) strains of Candida krusei,14 (6.9％) strains of other Candida,and 12 (5.9％) strains of Aspergillus were detected.Logistic regression analysis showed that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,bacterial pneumonia,long-term use of broadspectrum antibiotics and corticosteroids,endotracheal intubation or incision,old age,exposure in intensive care unit (ICU),and hospitalization ≥7 days were major risk factors (P=0.000,0.001,0.000,0.000,0.012,0.000,0.000,0.000).The resistance rates of isolated Candida against amphotericin B,5-flucytosine,voriconazole,itraconazole and fluconazole were 0,2.1％,4.2％,14.8％ and 22.9％,respectively.Conclusions Candida albicans is the major pathogen of lower respiratory tract fungal infection in hospital of Zhoushan archipelago area,and Candida is sensitive to amphotericin B,5-flucytosine and voriconazole.

Hepatitis B Virus preS1-antigen HBV-DNA,and HBV Markers in Patients with Hepatitis B:Correlation Studies / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlations on hepatitis B virus(HBV)preS1-antigen(preS1-Ag)and HBV-DNA,HBV markers in patients with hepatitis B.METHODS The markers,preS1-Ag and HBV-DNA were determined by ELISA and PCR in 406 patients with hepatitis B and 80 healthy persons.RESULTS The positive rates of preS1-Ag in 160 patients with HBsAg(+)and HBeAg(+)were 84.4%.The positive rates of preS1-Ag in 246 patients with HBsAg(+)and HBeAg(-)were 42.3%;the difference between them was significant(?2=70.9,P

Clinical Species Distribution and Drug Resistance of 201 Isolates of Enterococcus / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To study the clinical species distribution and drug resistance of Enterococcus.METHODS We had collected 201 isolates of Enterococcus by cultured in normal methods in our hospital from July 2005 to June 2008,and analyzed the characteristics of species distribution,drugsensitive test,drug resistance of high concentration aminoglycoside antibiotics and measured the ?-lactamase.RESULTS There are 106 E.faecalis strains(52.7%),76 E.faecium strains(37.8%) and 19 the other Enterococcus strains(9.5%).There were 102 Enerococcus strains separated from urine and 46 separated from sputamentum.The drug resistance rate of Enterococcus faecalis to erythromycin,tetracycline,rifampin and ciprofloxacin were more than 75.0% and the resistance rate of E.faecium to penicillin,ampicillin,erythromycin,rifampin,ciprofloxacin and nitrofurantoin were more than 93.0%;the total resistance rate of Enterococcus to vancomycin and teicoplanin were 14.4% and 10.4%,respectively.The number of the isolates resistant to high concentration aminoglycoside antibiotics was 151(75.1%);Enterococcus with positive ?-lactamase were 74(36.8%).CONCLUSIONS The infection in urinary system and respiratory system were mainly caused by E.faecalis and E.faeciumwith multidrug resistance.

Culturing of Urogenital Tract Mycoplasma and Its Susceptibility to Antibiotics:Analysis of 336 Cases in Zhoushan Islands / 中华医院感染学杂志

Pathogenic Bacteria in Senile Patients with Lower Respiratory Tract Infection: Their Distribution and Resistance / 中华医院感染学杂志

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.At the same time 136 strains of fungi were isolated.Candida albicans was the most predominant accounted for 60.3%.50.7% Strains of K.pneumoniae and 75.7% strains of E.coli produced ESBLs.The resistance rates of all K.pneumoniae and E.coli to ?lactams were above 50%.All isolates of Enterobacteriaceae were sensitive to imipenem or meropenem.The activity of antibacterial agents against P.aeruginosa was coming down. CONCLUSIONS K.pneumoniae and E.coli are the major pathogens in senile patients with lower respiratory tract infection.Increasing of nonfermenters and fungi as an infection should bring great concern.

Distribution Characteristics and Antimicrobial Resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii Infection:An Investigation of 194 Cases in Zhoushan Islands / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To study the isolation rate,distribution characteristics and antimicrobial resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii infection.METHODS Surveillance data of A.baumannii infection,distribution and resistance rates to 12 kinds of antibiotics in our hospital for 3 years were analyzed.RESULTS During the 3-year infection surveillance,194 strains of A.baumannii were isolated in our hospital.The isolation rate was 7.8% in 2006,though 2.4% in 2004.Eighty strains(41.2%) of A.baumannii were from intensive care unit;95 strains were from over 60-year-old sufferers;compared with 2004 and 2005,the resistance rates of A.baumannii in 2006 to 12 kinds of antibiotics were increasing at different degree.The antibacterial susceptibility to imipenem/meropenem was the highest.CONCLUSIONS The isolation rate of A.baumannii and antimicrobial resistance rate are increasing year by year.The A.baumannii strains shows obvious multiple antibacterial resistance.We must keep monitoring of A.baumannii infection and drug-resistant changes in order to prevent nosocomial infections.
