Objective: Clostridioides difficile may colonize healthy infants and young children asymptomatically and for the long-term. C. difficile genotypes and the rate and determinants of colonization differ substantially and vary among countries and regions.

- Clostridioides difficile is commonly found in healthy infants, with a colonization rate of 22.8% observed in a study of 1,098 Chinese infants, revealing a significant presence of toxigenic strains.
- The study identified various strains, with the dominant PCR-ribotype HB03 comprising nearly 20% of isolates, highlighting the diversity of C. difficile in this population.
- Findings indicated a link between higher colonization rates and factors like age and prior hospitalization, while also raising concern over growing antibiotic resistance, particularly to rifamycin.
[Effect of water-nitrogen coupling on photosynthesis and ultrastructure of cucumber leaves under CO enrichment].

April 2017
Using split plot and then-split plot design, effects of water-nitrogen coupling on photosynthesis and ultrastructure of cucumber (Cucumis sativus) (Jinyou No.35) under CO enrichment were investigated. The main plot had two CO concentrations: ambient CO concentration (400 μmol·mol, A) and doubled CO concentration (800±20 μmol·mol, E).

Aim: To investigate the influences of anti-ICOS antibody (anti-ICOSAb) on quantity and function of CD4(+);CD25(+);Foxp3(+);Treg cells from lymph and peripheral blood of rats with bronchial asthma.
Methods: The mononuclear cells (MNC) from lymph and blood were co-cultured with anti-ICOSAb, and then the percentage of CD4(+);CD25(+);Foxp3(+);Treg cells were analyzed by flow cytometer (FCM) and the levels of IL-10 and TGF-β1 in supernatants were determined by ELISA.
Results: The MNC were collected from lymph and blood at 0, 24 and 48 h after the last challenge, respectively, and the cells were cultured for 96 h in vitro.
Aim: To observe the percentages of CD4(+);CD25(+); regulatory T cells (Tregs) and Th17 cells and the levels of IL-10, TGF-β and IL-17 in peripheral blood of infants with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis. The relationship between above cells, cytokines and RSV bronchiolitis was determined.
Methods: Thirty-three infants with RSV bronchiolitis, twenty-eight infants with non-RSV pneumonia and twenty-six healthy infants were enrolled.
[Expression of RhoA in the lung tissue of acute lung injury rats and the influence of RhoA on the expression of IL-8 and IL-10].

December 2011
Aim: To investigate the expression of RhoA in the lung tissue of acute lung injury (ALI) rats induced by oleic acid (OA) and explore the influence of RhoA on the level of IL-8 and IL-10 in serum. Discussion RhoA and acute lung injury relationship.
Methods: Establish rat oleic acid acute lung injury model, Wet/Dry weights (W/D) were detected.
