RESUMO
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a devastating disease characterized by an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas. P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) plays a crucial role in the initial steps of the adhesive at process to inflammatory sites, blockade of PSGL-1 might confer potent anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, we generated two non-human primate derived monoclonal antibodies capable of efficiently targeting human PSGL-1, RH001-6 and RH001-22, which were screened from immunized rhesus macaques. We found that RH001-6, can effectively block the binding of P-selectin to PSGL-1, and abolish the adhesion of leukocytes to endothelial cells in vitro. In vivo, we verified that RH001-6 relieved inflammatory responses and pancreatic injury in both caerulein and l-arginine induced AP models. We also evaluated the safety profile after RH001-6 treatment in mice, and verified that RH001-6 did not cause any significant pathological damages in vivo. Taken together, we developed a novel non-human primate derived PSGL-1 blocking antibody with high-specificity, named RH001-6, which can interrupt the binding of PSGL-1 and P-selectin and attenuate inflammatory responses during AP. Therefore, RH001-6 is highly potential to be further developed into therapeutics against acute inflammatory diseases, such as AP.
RESUMO
Objective:This work aims to investigate the virulence features, spore formation and the resistance mechanisms of major sequence types (STs) of clinical Clostridium difficile isolates from nosocomial infectious diarrhea. Methods:Clostridium difficile isolates were prospectively collected from 816 loose stool samples of in patients with antibiotic associated diarrhea at the Beijing Friendship Hospital of Capital Medical University from September 2017 to September 2019. The main ST types ST81 (26 strains), ST8 (15 strains) and ST42 (14 strains) of C. difficile were used as experimental strains. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) were performed to detect toxin genes and toxin production of different C. difficile ST types, respectively. The count of the colony forming units (CFU) of the strains as conducted by using the brain-heart infusion (BHI) agar plates. The antimicrobial resistance patterns of the strains to eleven kinds of antibiotics were determined by agar dilution method. The antimicrobial resistance genes: gyrA, gyrB and ermB were amplified and sequenced from the stains. Mutations in the resistance genes were analyzed by sequencing. Measure data was compared by Kruskal Wallis Test, differences in the resistance rates in three group were compared using Fisher exact test. Results:ST81 strains were identified as the tcdA-tcdB+/ cdtA-cdtB-toxin type, ST8 and ST42 strains belonged to tcdA+tcdB+/ cdtA-cdtB-toxin type. The toxin production of ST42 strains (41.9) were higher than ST8 (2.4) and ST81 groups (0.83) (all P<0.001). The number of spore quantities of ST81, ST8 and ST42 strains were 494×10 5CFU/ml, 160×10 5CFU/ml and 166×10 5CFU/ml, respectively. The spore quantities of ST81 strains were much higher than that of ST81 and ST42 strains (all P<0.001). From the in vitro susceptibility test, 100% (26/26) ST81 strains were featured as multi-drug resistant (MDR), and they were resistant to moxifloxacin, ceftriaxone, erythromycin and clindamycin. The resistance rates of ST8 strain to moxifloxacin, erythromycin and clindamycin were 9/15, 11/15 and 11/15, respectively. ST81 strains had higher resistance rates to moxifloxacin, clindamycin and erythromycin, compared to ST8 strains ( P=0.001, P=0.005 and P=0.005). All ST42 strains were susceptible to ceftriaxone and 3/14 ST42 strains were resistant to moxifloxacin. ST81 strains had higher resistance rates to ceftriaxone and moxifloxacin than the ST42 strains (both P<0.001). The positive rate of ermB in ST81 strains (100%, 26/26) were higher the ST8 strains (11/15) ( P<0.005). Amino acid mutation analysis showed that ST81and ST8 stains had one amino acid substitution in both GyrA and GyrB, but the amino acid substitutions were different in GyrB between two ST types. ST81 strains had two point-mutations: Thr82 replaced by Ile in GyrA, and Asp426 replaced by Val in GyrB. ST8 strains had point-mutation: Thr82 replaced by Ile in GyrA; Asp426 replaced by Asn in GyrB. For ST42 strains, Thr82 was replaced by Ile in GyrA. Conclusions:ST81 and ST42 strains were MDR. ST81 had higher spore ability, whereas ST42 strains had more virulence. ST81 strains and most of ST8 strains had high level of fluoroquinolones resistance. It is important to supervise persistently these three ST genotypes to prevent further dissemination.
RESUMO
Clostridioides difficile is a kind of opportunistic pathogen ubiquitous in human intestinal tracts. It can induce intestinal inflammation by releasing its unique toxins when the body has dysbacteriosis due to various triggers, causing patients to experience a variety of clinical symptoms ranging from simple diarrhea to fatal septic shock. In recent years, the BI/NAP1/027 strain of Clostridioidesdifficile has been detected in stool samples of patients from medical institutions all around China. This kind of strain can produce higher levels of toxins and spores that are more difficult to eradicate. More importantly, the strain will pose tremendous threats and challenges to global public health security once it spreads. In this paper, the epidemiological characteristics, virulence, pathogenic mechanisms, molecular diagnostic techniques and the treatment methods of hypervirulent Clostridioides difficile strain BI/NAP1/027 were summarized based on the existing research results and case reports at home and abroad. The possible future research hotspots and endeavors in the field have also been suggested. This article aimed to make a comprehensive understanding of hypervirulent Clostridioides difficile strain BI/NAP1/027, and to provide a theoretical basis for more in-depth analysis of its pathogenic mechanism and more scientific formulation of its prevention and treatment plans in the future.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the correlation of serum hepatitis B virus large protein (HBV-LP), HBV-DNA, and Pre S1 antigen (Pre S1-Ag) with HBV replication.Methods:Serum samples were collected from 650 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) who were treated in Beijing Friendship Hospital from March 2017 to March 2019. Serum HBV-LP and Pre S1-Ag were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). HBV markers (HBV-M) were measured using chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA). Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect HBV-DNA. The positive detection rates of HBV-DNA, HBV-LP and Pre S1-Ag were calculated and compared, and the correlation of HBV-LP (S/CO value) and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg, log 10 IU/ml) with HBV-DNA(log 10 IU/ml)was analyzed. Results:In the 650 CHB patients, the positive rates of HBV-DNA, HBV-LP and Pre S1-Ag were 65.4% (425/650), 79.2% (515/650) and 43.1% (280/650), respectively ( P<0.01). The positive rates of HBV-DNA and HBV-LP in 243 HBeAg-positive patients were 93.0% (226/243) and 94.6% (230/243), and no significant difference was found between them ( P=0.45). However, there was significant difference between the positive rates of HBV-DNA and HBV-LP in 407 patients negative for HBeAg [48.9% (199/407) vs 70.0% (285/407), P<0.01]. The positive rates of HBV-DNA and HBV-LP in HBsAg-, HBeAg- and HBcAb-positive groups were 92.8% (206/222) and 94.1% (209/222), which showed no significant difference ( P=0.56). In HBsAg-, HBeAb- and HBcAb-positive groups, the positive rates of HBV-DNA and HBV-LP were 45.4% (124/273) and 69.9% (191/273) ( P<0.01). The detection rate of HBeAg was lower than that of HBV-LP significantly in both HBV-DNA-positive and HBV-DNA-negative groups ( P<0.01). With the increasing of HBV-DNA load, the S/CO value and the positive rate of HBV-LP increased significantly ( P<0.05). Conclusions:HBV-LP had a good correlation with HBV-DNA load as compared with Pre S1-Ag, HBeAg and HBsAg. HBV-LP in combination with HBV-M might be used as predictive markers that could efficiently reflect the status of HBV replication.
RESUMO
Background Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA load monitoring in blood is essential for the diagnosis of EBV-associated diseases. However, the best-suited blood compartment for detection is still under discussion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of EBV-DNA load in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), plasma and whole blood (WB) samples. Methods A total of 156 patients, including 45 patients with infectious mononucleosis (IM), 57 patients with EBV-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and 54 patients with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD), were enrolled in this study. The EBV-DNA load in PBMC, plasma and WB samples were measured with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results EBV-DNA load of patients with HLH showed no statistical difference in PBMC, plasma and WB samples, while patients with IM and PTLD showed a higher viral load in PBMC samples. The strongest correlation of EBV-DNA level was found between PBMC and WB samples among patients with IM, HLH and PTLD. The follow-up of EBV-DNA showed that the viral load became negative along with the recovery from the disease, while that in WB and PBMC would remain positive for a long time. Conclusions For the diagnosis and monitoring of EBV-DNA, the type of specimen should be chosen reasonably according to the disease. As for IM and HLH, plasma is recommended to quantify the EBV-DNA load, while PBMC and plasma are preferred in PTLD.

Objective To discuss the effect of the combination detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and homocysteine(Hcy) for increasing the diagnosis and treatment offects of non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) .Methods The levels of cTnI and Hcy were detected in 47 patients with NSTEMI(NSTEMI group) before and after therapy and 63 healthy individuals(control group) .The detection results were performed the statistical analysis for verifying their value to judge the diagnostic and treatment effect of NSTEMI .Results The levels of cTnI and Hcy were (2 .37 ± 0 .65)ng/mL and(19 .23 ± 2 .94)μmol/L in the NSTEMI group ,which were significantly higher than(0 .33 ± 0 .14)ng/mL and(10 .62 ± 3 .27)μmol/L in the control group ,the differences showing statistical significance (P< 0 .05);the sensitivities of single cTnI and Hcy were 95 .74% and 85 .11% respectively ,and their specificities were 85 .71% and 90 .48% respectively ;the sensitivity and sepecificity of cTnI and Hcy combination detection were risen to 97 .87% and 98 .41% respectively ;after therapy ,the cTnI and Hcy levels in the NSTEMI group were significantly lowered and close to the normal levels .Conclusion The combination detection of cTnI and Hcy can not only be used for the diagno-sis of NSTEMI ,but also has the important significance to the judgment of the therapeutical effect of NSTEMI .
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the activity of antibiotics against pan-drug-resistant (PDR) Acinetobacter baumannii by combination antimicrobial susceptibility test in viro with epsilometric methods (Etest method) and microdilution checkerboard (CB method),and to detect a good correlation between timekill curve with the above mentioned two assays.Methods Thirty-one clinical isolates of PDR Acinetobacter baumannii were selected for mono and combination antimicrobial susceptibility test in vitro by E-test and CB method,then a comparison was conducted between the test results and the time-kill curve.Mono drugs involved tigecycline,colistin,imipenem and amikacin,and combinations involved two of drugs above,and three drugs involved imipenem/tigecycline,plus amikacin combination.Results Synergistic effect was detected in imipenem plus colistin and tigecycline plus imipenem combination.A high comparability was revealed between the E-test method with antimicrobial drugs added into the culture medium and the time-kill curves.Synergy in the combination of imipenem/tigecycline,plus amikacin was detected by the CB method and time-kill curves.Conclusion The results showed that the effect of specific combination of antibiotics against PDR Acinetobacter baumannii could be predicted by testing their synergistic effect with combination antimicrobial susceptibility test.
