Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and drug sensitivity of newborn pneumonia of klebsiella pneumoniae,and investigate the positive rate of extended-spectrum ? lactamases(ESBLs)in klebsiella pneumoniae.Method Sixty-seven cases of sputum samples newborn pneumonia of klebsiella pneumoniae from Jan.2003 to Dec.2005 were collected.Bacteria identification and drug sensitivity test were performed.At the same time,ESBLs were detected.Results The clinical characteristics of newborn pneumonia of klebsiella pneumoniae were non special,and the positive rate of ESBLs in klebsiella pneumoniae was 17.91%.The klebsiella pneumoniae was 100%sensitivie to carbopenems,but resistant to commonly used ?-antibiotics such as penicillin and cephalosporin.ESBLs negative strains had higher drug sensitivity than ESBLs strains.Conclusions Partial klebsiella pneumoniae are ESBLs strains and insensitive to commonly used antibiotics.In order to decrease ESBLs strains,the antibiotics treatment shall be used appropriately and the selection of antibiotics shall be guided by the results of drug sensitivity tests.

Objective To explore the diagnosis value of ultrasound real-time elastography in thyroid diffuse diseases.Methods Eleven elastic quantitative parameters of 123 patients with thyroid diffuse diseases and 42 healthy volunteers obtained from the ultrasound real-time elastography were analyzed with principal components analysis to attain a comprehensive evaluation value which was named stiffness index(SI),reflecting the organization elastic information of different thyroid diffuse diseases.SI among each group was compared by ANOVA.Results Chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis SI was 86.37±20.45,subacute thyroiditis SI was 86.14±19.95,primary hyperthyroidism SI was 54.68±21.69,normal control group SI was 41.34±15.59,respectively.The SI between chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis,subacute thyroiditis,primary hyperthyroidism and normal controls had significant statistical differences (P<0.05),the SI between primary hyperthyroidism and chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis,subacute thyroiditis had significant statistical differences (P<0.05),the SI between chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis and subacute thyroiditis had no significant statistical difference (P>0.05).Conclusions Ultrasound real-time elastography could indirectly reflect the stiffness information of thyroid lension tissue and have a certain degree of diagnosis value in thyroid diffuse disease.

ObjectiveTo deter mine the sustained attention function of the patients with mild Alzheimer's disease(AD) and mild cognitive impairment(MCI).Methods10 patients with MCI, 10 with mild AD and other 10 healthy elderly controls were tested with Continuous Performance Task(CPT) aimed to assess sustained attention. ResultsCompared with the normal controls, the mild AD patients reacted very more slowly(P<0.001), missed more targets(P<0.05), while that the MCI patients did was as well as the control group. ConclusionThe mild AD patients shows impairment in sustained attention function, but the MCI patients shows a preserved ability of sustained attention function.

Objective To evaluate the enhancement effect of the thrombus-targeted ultrasound contrast agent on acute thrombus in normal canine femoral vein.Methods Acute thrombi were created in both sides of the femoral vein in ten canine models.Targeted ultrasound contrast agent was given in a dose of(0.06) ml/kg in ten canines via intravenous bolus injection from forelimb of canine,the images of the acute thrombus were taken at 0,2,4,8,12,14 minutes after infusion of ultrasound contrast agent and stored in magneto optical disks.The images were assessed qualitatively by two independent observers and quantitatively using acoustic densitometry(AD) to determine the contrast enhancement effect of acute thrombus in normal canine femoral vein.Results After infusion of targeted ultrasound contrast agent,the thrombus was enhanced considerably and easy to be detected.AD analysis demonstrated that peak indencity(PI) and area under curve(AUC) increased with the changes of time,reaching the peak at 8th minutes after infusion of targeted ultrasound contrast agent,then decreased.PI and AUC increased at the 8th minute after infusion of targeted ultrasound contrast agent than before [((333.21)?(38.56))dB vs((168.18)?(28.18))dB,((884.40)?(94.62))dB vs((439.65)?(98.54))dB,respectively,P

Objective To study the screening value of color doppler flow imaging (CDFI) for gastroesophageal reflux(GER).Methods Through the window of left lobe liver, the abdominal esophageal length,the phenomenon of GER and the frequency of GER were detected by CDFI in 55 children with GER and 55 control group.Results Abdominal esophagus was identified by CDFI in every children. The abdominal esophageal length was shorter in refluxers than that in control group. A significant correlation was found between its length and the age of control group.To diagnose GER with CDFI ,its accuracy was 98.18%,and its specificity was 76.36%.Conclusions Visualization and measurements of the abdominal esophagus are readily achieved with CDFI in children.Abdominal esophageal length is shorter in refluxers than that in control group. CDFI is a rapid method of screening GER.

Objective To study whether gastric liquid emptying is delayed in children with gastroesophageal reflux and its clinical significance. Methods At different times after meal, the gastric antral diameters were measured by real - time ultrasonography in 55 children with gastroesophageal reflux and 55 controls. Results At 20 min,60 min after meal , there was a significant difference in gastric emptying rate between case groups and control groups, respectively(P

Objective To explore the changes of weight,body mass index(MBI),serum glucose,serum insulin in sodium valproate(VPA)-treated children with epilepsy.Methods The study was carried out in 30 epileptic children treated with VPA for 3 months.Weight,height,serum glucose and insulin levels were conducted before and after VPA treatment.Serum insulin levels were detected by radioimmunoassay.Results After 3 months' treatment,body weight [(15.68?3.82)kg vs(19.64?4.75)kg,t=3.56 P0.05].Conclusions VPA therapy can make insuline weight,BMI,serum insulin increased and may lead to insulin resistance.Insulin resistance may be one of the reasons for weight gain in VPA-treated patients.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of ultrasonic elastography and fine flow imaging in differential diagnosis of cervical lymph nodes.Methods Totally 87 lymph nodes were examined with ultrasonic elastography,fine flow and conventional ultrasonography.The results were confirmed with postoperative pathology or fine-needle biopsy as well as follow-up.Using consistency check of Kappa and ROC curve to analyse the accuracy of three types of ultrasonic examination.Results Taking the results of postoperative pathology or fine-needle biopsy as well as follow-up as golden standards,the Kappa value of conventional ultrasonography was poor (Kappa =0.153,P =0.078),fine flow was moderate (Kappa =0.526,P ＜0.01) and ultrasonic elastography was better (Kappa =0.741,P ＜0.01).The area under ROC of ultrasonic elastography,fine flow and conventional ultrasonography was 0.899 (P ＜0.01),0.787 (P ＜0.01) and 0.568 (P =0.241),respectively.Conclusions Ultrasonic elastography is more valuable to differentiate malignant from benign lymph nodes.
