OBJECTIVE To analyze the risk factors and antimicrobial resistance pattern of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolated from 6 hospitals in Beijing,and study the difference in resistance rate of isolates from different hospitals. METHODS In this study,145 cases with S.maltophilia infection were analyzed and their susceptibility was tested.The synergetic screening test was applied to detect metallo-?-lactamases. RESULTS Most of 145 strains were isolated from sputum(86.2%),mainly from ICU(48.3%),and department of respiratory medicine(22.1%).The drug sensitivity tests in vitro showed these strains were resistant to commonly used antibiotics,and drugs whose sensitive rate was over 50% included doxycycline,gatifloxacin,cefoperazone-sulbactam,levofloxacin,compound sulfamethoxazole,ceftazidime-clavulanate and ticarcillin-clavulanate.The antimicrobial resistance of strains isolated from different wards showed some difference.Of all the infected patients,56.7% had underlying diseases;92.2%were treated previously with broad-spectum antibiotics;76.8% underwent invasive examination or treatment. CONCLUSIONS S.maltophilia is resistant to many kinds of antibiotics.The infection caused by S.maltophilia often occurs in patients with severe underlying disease and low immunity.Antibiotics should by chosen by drug sensitivity tests.

To analyze drug resistance of pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients with mechanical ventilation, drug resistance of pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients with tracheal incision was increased, compared with tracheal cannula. The drug resistance to amikacin, ciprofloxacin, meziocillin, ticarcillin was significantly increased( P

10 years. Pulmonary functions were determined routinely and followed for 10 years. Results Comparison between the values of pulmonary functions at the beginning and end of a 10- year follow-up showed very significant difference in the groups of Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ. Among the parameters examined, FEV_1, PEF, MMEF, and MVV showed significant increase in these 3 groups (P

Objective To study the dynamic changes in calcineurin-? expression in lung tissue of rats under simulated weightlessness condition,and the influence of ligustrazine(tetramethylpyrazine) on the changes in its expression.Methods The rat model of simulated weightlessness condition was reproduced by suspending the rat by tail in-30?.Thirty healthy Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups(10 each): control group,suspended group(rat was suspended by tail for 7 days) and ligustrazine group(rat was suspended by tail and ligustrazine was given for 7days).In the ligustrazine group,the ligustrazine was gavaged in a dose of 1.5mg/kg(once a day).The expression of calcineurin-? in lung tissue was determined by immunohisochemistry and Western blotting.Results It was revealed by immunohisochemistry and Western blotting that the level of expression of calcineurin-? in lung tissue of the animals in suspended group was significantly higher that in control group and ligustrazine group(P0.05).Conclusion The level of expression of calcineurin-? in rat lung tissue may be increased obviously under the simulated microgravity condition,while ligustrazine treatment may down-regulate the calcineurin-? expression.

Objective To study the effects of simulated weightlessness on eNOS expression in the pulmonary artery in rat, and to investigate the mechanism of changed reactivity of pulmonary artery during simulated weightlessness. Methods The experiments were conducted in 16 male Wistar rats, and they were divided into 2 groups: suspension group and control group, 8 rats for each. Tail-suspension (-30?) was carried out for 14d to simulate weightlessness. eNOS protein expression and NO content in pulmonary artery were determined using Western blot analysis and nitrate enzyme-reduction method, respectively. Results Compared with control group, eNOS expression in the rat pulmonary artery increased significantly during simulated weigtlessness. The relative optical density as a result of scanning was 247?2.60, and that of the control was 141?1.72. There were significant differences between the two groups (P

Objective To study the effects of simulated gravity loss on nuclear factor Kappa-B expression in rats′ pulmonary tissue, and to investigate the mechanism of changes in NF-?B during simulated loss of gravity. Methods Tail-suspension(TS) was used as the method to simulate the physiological effects of weightlessness. 40 Wistar male rats Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: control for 7 days (7d CON), 21d CON, TS for 7d (TS7d) and TS21d. The dynamic express of nuclear factor Kappa-B in lung tissue was respectively assessed using the immunohisochemical technique. Results Compared with control group, the expression level of NF-?B in the lung tissue of tail-suspension 7d rats was elevated significantly (P

Ojective To study the endothelial mechanism of simulated weightlessness on the reactivity of pulmonary artery. Methods Experiments were conducted using 32 Wistar male rats, which were randomly divided into 2 groups: tail-suspended group and control group, 16 rats for each group. Tail-suspension for 14 days was used to simulate the effects of microgravity. The changes in responses of pulmonary artery to several vascular active agents were determined by using in vitro vessel rings perfusion technique. And the changes were determined again after the endothelium of pulmonary artery was removed. Results Compared with the control group, the contractile responses of pulmonary artery to potassium chloride (68mmol/L) and phenylephrine (PE, 10 -7 ~10 -5 mmol/L) were markedly diminished after 14 days tail-suspension, while the dilatory responses to acetylcholine (Ach, 10 -8 ~10 -6 mmol/L) were markedly enhanced. The vascular reactivity of endothelium-removed pulmonary artery rings to PE and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) did not change after 14 days tail-suspension. Conclusion The contractile responsiveness is attenuated and the dilatory responsiveness is enhanced in the rats' pulmonary arteries after simulated weightlessness. That the pulmonary artery endothelium changes in structure or function after simulated weightlessness might be an important cause of changing in the reactivity of pulmonary artery.

0.05).The mRNA and protein expressions of survivin in cells transfected by 100-200nmol/L siRNA were significantly lower than those of untransfected cells(P0.05).Conclusion Silencing survivin gene by the RNAi technique can decrease effectively the expressions of survivin gene and protein,suppress significantly the growth and proliferation of A549 cells,and induce apoptosis of A549 cells.The inhibitory effect of RNAi is characterized by its specificity,high efficiency and durability.This may lay an experimental foundation for further study of gene therapy in lung cancer.

To investigate the changes of cell apoptosis genes in pulmonary tissue of tail suspended rats during simulated weightlessness, 40 Spragno Dawley male rats were divided into 4 groups: suspended for 7d,control of 7d, suspended for 21d, and control of 21d.Tail suspension(-30?) was used as weightlessness simulation.The condition of bcl 2/bax in pulmonary tissues was detected by in situ hybridization. The results showed that the level of bcl 2 mRNA in pulmonary tissue of 7d tail suspended rats decreased significantly( P 0 05). The results also showed that the level of bax mRNA in pulmonary tissue of 7d tail suspended rats increased significantly( P 0 05).It can be concluded that there are certain changes of cell apoptosis genes in pulmonary tissue of 7d tail suspended rats during simulated weightlessness.
