三阳型乳腺癌的临床病理学特点及辅助治疗

三阳型乳腺癌是一种较为特殊的乳腺癌类型。虽然发病率低,但是此类型乳腺癌容易发生腋窝淋巴结转移和远处转移。这些临床病理学特点引起人们的高度重视。因此,辅助治疗方案的选择成为影响三阳型乳腺癌患者预后的重要因素。本综述意在整合国内外研究结果以为三阳型乳腺癌患者提供较为合理的个体化治疗方案。     

布鲁氏菌分子诊断与分型技术研究进展

布鲁氏菌病是全球最常见的人畜共患病之一。布鲁氏菌病大多是由羊种布鲁菌感染所致,其次是牛种和猪种。在过去的20年里,人类和动物布病的防控已经取得了较大进展。然而,由于其非特异性的临床表现,控制和根除布病仍然面临巨大的挑战。随着20世纪90年代以来分子生物学技术的快速发展,分子生物学检测方法已被国内外用来迅速检测研究布鲁氏菌,同时由于全球数据共享的数据库的建立,使得全球对于布病的研究越来越深入。     

某院耐碳青霉烯类肠杆菌科细菌耐药基因分析

目的研究某院耐碳青霉烯类肠杆菌科细菌(CRE)在细菌耐药方面的分子流行病学特征,为CRE的防控提供依据。方法收集某院2013—2017年细菌室保存的CRE,对其进行多位点序列分型(MLST)、药敏试验、全基因序列测定,选取部分CRE中携带的碳青霉烯耐药基因进行基因环境分析。结果共收集62株CRE,成功复活51株;其中耐碳青霉烯类肺炎克雷伯菌(CRKP)30株,耐碳青霉烯类大肠埃希菌(CREC)9株,耐碳青霉烯类阴沟肠杆菌(CRECL)6株,耐碳青霉烯类其他肠杆菌6株。CRKP MLST主要包括3株ST147、2株ST11;CREC MLST主要包括3株ST167;CRECL MLST主要包括3株ST93、2株ST88。51株CRE对氨苄西林、头孢噻肟的耐药率最高,均为100%。耐碳青霉烯类耐药基因分布:1株携带blaKPC-2,14株携带blaIMP-4,18株携带blaNDM-1,22株携带blaNDM-5,2株携带blaNDM-9,10株携带blaOXA-1,10株携带blaOXA-10,2株携带blaOXA-23,2株携带blaOXA-66。分析blaNDM-1、blaNDM-5、blaNDM-9、blaIMP-4不同菌种的基因环境,发现几种耐药基因各自的基因环境都与已报道的基因环境相似,无明显的菌种间差异性。结论耐药基因通过水平传播能稳定存在于不同的CRE菌株中,对医院感染防控造成一定的威胁。     

Characteristics of Vibrio cholerae O1 isolated from water of the River Ganga,Varanasi, India

Background: Vibrio cholerae is an autochthonous inhabitant of fresh and brackish water and estuarine system. Investigation of V. cholerae from the River Ganga seems important to find variation in CTX arrangement and genomic diversity. Objectives: To investigate V. cholerae O1 strains for the presence of virulence and regulatory genes, variation in number and organisation of the pre-CTXΦ and/or CTXΦ, and for the genomic diversity. Materials and Methods: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect virulence and regulatory genes, type of rstR and location of CTXΦ on the chromosome. Southern hybridisation was conducted to see the number and arrangement of pre-CTXΦ and CTXΦ. Ribotyping and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis were used to find genetic relatedness. Results: Seven strains gave positive results by PCR for the gene encoding for ctxA, zot, ace, tcpA (El Tor), ompU, and toxR, except one strain that was negative for the ctxA. Three strains were positive for the tcpA (El Tor), ompU and toxR genes. Determination of CTX organisation showed that among the ctx-positive strains, four harboured two copies of CTX^ETΦ arranged in tandem and two harboured one copy of CTX^ETΦ, and one ctx-negative strain harboured only one copy of pre-CTX^ETΦ. Pulsotype and ribotype analysis showed existence of at least three pulsotype and ribotypes indicating diversity in genomic content among them. Conclusion: This study thus indicates that multiple clones (ribotypes/pulsotypes) of V. cholerae O1 carrying pre-CTXΦ and/or CTXΦ and ctx-negative strains were present in the water of the River Ganga, Varanasi, India.     

Persistent serotype 3 and 19A invasive pneumococcal diseases in adults in vaccine era: Serotype-dependent difference in ceftriaxone susceptibility

BackgroundInvasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality in children and elderly populations. Serotype distribution and antibiotic susceptibility of IPD isolates are changing with the implementation of pneumococcal vaccination and increasing antibiotic use worldwide. We aimed to determine serotype distribution, antibiogram, and molecular epidemiology of pneumococci in the late stage of PCV13 era.MethodsProspective multicenter IPD surveillance study was conducted for adults aged ≥ 19 years from July 2019 to June 2021. Clinical and epidemiologic data were collected. In addition, antibiotic susceptibility test, serotype identification and multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) was taken for pneumococcal isolates.ResultsA total of 160 IPD cases were collected with mean age of 65.1 years (male, 72.5%). Serotyping was taken for 116 available pneumococcal isolates. PCV13 and PPSV23 serotypes were 32.8% (n = 38) and 56.0% (n = 65), respectively. Serotype 3 (13.8%) and 19A (9.5%) were the most common causative agents of IPD, followed by serogroup 11 (6.9%), 23A (6.9%), 10A (4.3%), and 15B (4.3%). Notably, 32.5% of invasive pneumococcal isolates were non-susceptible to ceftriaxone. Serotypes 11A, 11E and 19A pneumococci showed high ceftriaxone non-susceptible rate (80%, 100% and 81.8% respectively), and they were related to sequence type (ST) 166 and ST320. In comparison, most serotype 3 isolates were ceftriaxone susceptible and related to ST180.ConclusionsPCV serotypes, especially 3 and 19A, are still prevalent in adult IPDs, suggesting that individual PCV13 immunization would be necessary for the elderly people and chronically ill patients. Ceftriaxone non-susceptible rate was remarkably high in invasive pneumococcal isolates.
