OBJECTIVE To investigate the drug resistance in Ureaplasma urealytium(Uu)from 2005 to 2007 in Ningbo city and guide rational drug administration in clinics.METHODS Twelve kinds of antibiotics sensitivity test in Uu which was isolated in clinics from 2005 to 2007 were analyzed retrospectivly.RESULTS The detection rate of Uu from 2005 to 2007 was 47.25%,52.66% and 61.94%,respectively.Compared with in 2005(19.96%),the resistance increased obviously to erythromycin and roxithromycin(P0.05).CONCLUSIONS Drug resistance of Uu is changing.It is necessary to monitor the local drug resistance of Uu regularly to guide reasonable administration in clinics.

The Campylobacter carrier rate of the bile was 23. 64%,14. 29%,7. 14%,6. 64%,5.88%, 5.55% and 3. 63% in the quails, cats, dogs, pigs, chickens, ducks and oxen respectively. The survival time of Campylobacter in the bile in vitro ranged from 4 to 7 weeks. The Campylobacter carrier rate of the intestinal content was higher than that of the bile in all the domestic animals and fowls. It is believed that the domestic animals and fowls may be an important source of Campylobacter infection in human beings according to our findings.

Objective Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is generally considered to be accompanied by both left and right ventricular dysfunction,but most studies only analyze the left ventricular function. In this study, we evaluated the effect of arotinolol on right ventricular function in patients with DCM. Methods Right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) and right ventricular diameter (RVD) were measured by two-dimensional echocardiography (2-DE) in 33 DCM patients; RVEF measured by first-pass radionuclide angiography (FPRA) was compared with that by 2-DE. Results The treatment with arotinolol for one year resulted in a reduction in the right ventricular diameter (baseline, 23.0 ± 8.3 mm vs after one-year treatment, 20.7 ± 5.4 mm; P=0.004 ) and an associated increase in ejection fraction (baseline, 36.9 ± 10.3% vs after one-year treatment, 45.8 ± 9.6%; P ＜ 0.001 ); there is a high correlation between the 2-DE method and radionuclide ventriculographic method. The correlation coefficient is 0.933 (P＜0.001). Conclusion Arotinolol therapy could not only improve left ventricular function, but also improve right ventricular function in DCM patients.
