OBJECTIVE:To investigate the utilization of antibiotics in urinary surgery patients in our hospital.METHODS:The problems lie in the perioperative use of antibiotics in a total of 600 patients with ureter stones,kidney stones,bladder stones and(or)benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)undergoing urinary surgery from Jan.to June in 2006 and from Jan.to June in 2007 were analyzed in accordance with the Guiding Principles of Clinical Application of Antibacterials and the related regulations of antibiotics in our hospital.RESULTS:The rate of rational use of antibiotics rose from 12.5% before intervention to 88.2% after intervention.The problems of improper selection of antibiotics,irrational timing and too long duration of drug use were improved to a great extent.CONCLUSION:The intervention on the rational perioperative use of antibiotics is effective and it greatly enhanced the rationality in the perioperative use of antibiotics in urinary surgery patients.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the feasibility of application of perioperative prophylactic antibiotics in orthopedic patients. METHODS:Intervention, feasible regulations and rational medication scheme were formulated and present medical records were monitored and related information was feedback timely. Utilization of perioperative prophylactic antimicrobial was compared between before and after intervention. RESULTS: In the intervention group, hospitalization days, medical costs, cost and proportions of antibiotics were reduced; medication time and selection of antibiotics for all kinds of incision were standardized and the mean duration was shortened. The proportion of antibiotics used at 0.5～2 hours before operation was increased. The first and second generation cephalosporin was applied more and more. Combination of medication was decreased and rational use of antibiotics was significantly improved. CONCLUSION:Management of drug use is helpful to standardize the application of perioperative prophylactic antibiotics and improve clinical rational use of antibiotics.

OBJECTIVE To investigate extended-spectrum ?-lactamases(ESBLs) producing bacteria and daily(defined) doses (DDDs) of the third generation cephalosporins.METHODS The cosumpsion of the third generation cephalosporins in five(hospitals) from 2000 to 2002 and the incidence of ESBLs producing bacteria were(analyzed).RESULTS In these years,the total DDDs were 1.3064 million therapeutic days,0.3335 million in 2000;0.4312 million in 2001;(0.5417) million in 2002.The average ESBLs producing ratio was 33.67%,ie,29.64%,32.58% and(38.45%) in 2000,2001 and 2002.CONCLUSIONS The incidence of ESBLs producing bacteria and DDDs of the third generation cephalosporins are raised gradually. More faster raised DDDs would result in higher incidence of ESBLs producing bacteria.

Objective To study the mechanism of lidocaine injection in the alleviation of pains of propofol injection. Methods 430 patients, who underwent elective gastrointestinal endoscopy under general anesthesia , were randomly assigned into 3 groups: group A received 2 mL NS intravenous injection on the right dorsal hand;group B received 40 mg Lidocaine intravenous injection on the right dorsal hand and group C received 40 mg lidocaine intravenous injection on the left dorsal hand. All groups received 2 mg/kg Propofol intravenous injectionon the right dorsal hand at the rate of 20 mL/min. The injection pains were evaluated while the dosage reached 1/4 of the total (2 mg/kg). The left dosage of Propofol and 50 μg Fentanil were pumped after evaluation. Propofol dosage was added when needed. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR ) were recorded before Propofol injection and 1, 3, 5 minutes after Propofol injection. Results VRS comparisons: Tthe rate of pain incidence of group B was significantly lower than those of group A and C. MAP were declined dramatically at the time points of 1 minute, 3 minutes and 5 minutes after propofol injection, as compared to before propofol injection. The HR was declined dramatically 5 minutes after propofol injection. Conclusion Intravenous Lidocaine of 40 mgcould reduce Propofol-induced injection pain of the same vein. Local effect of Lidocaine but not its systemic function may play an important role in reducing Propofol-induced injection pain.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients infected with Brucella Melitensis ( B. Melitensis) type 1 and type 3 in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Methods:A retrospective analysis method was used to collect clinical medical records of patients with brucellosis admitted to Hulunbuir People's Hospital from June 2013 to August 2017, and 71 patients with brucellosis positive in blood culture and identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and AMOS-PCR were selected as the study subjects. According to the identification results, they were divided into B. Melitensis type 1 and type 3 groups. General information, epidemiological characteristics, clinical characteristics, laboratory examinations, complications and efficacy of the two groups were compared. Results:Among 71 patients with brucellosis, 22 cases were B. Melitensis type 1, including 16 males and 6 females, aged (39.91 ± 16.04) years old; 49 cases were B. Melitensis type 3, including 34 males and 15 females, aged (40.67 ± 18.72) years old. There were no significant differences in gender composition and age between the two groups (χ 2 = 0.081, t = 0.166, P > 0.05). There were 10 cases(45.5%) of B. Melitensis type 1 patients living in agricultural areas, 10 cases (45.5%) in pastoral areas, and 2 cases (9.1%) in cities; there were 40 cases (81.6%) of B. Melitensis type 3 patients living in agricultural areas, 7 cases (14.3%) in pastoral areas and 2 cases (4.1%) in cities, and the difference between regions was statistically significant (χ 2 = 9.276, P < 0.05). Testicular swelling and pain symptoms [22.7% (5/22), 6.1% (3/49)] in B. Melitensis type 1 and type 3 patients were compared, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 4.187, P < 0.05); other clinical features were compared, the differences were not statistically significant ( P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in white blood cell count (WBC) and platelet count (PLT) decreased, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) increased between the two groups ( P > 0.05). The number of complications in B. Melitensis type 1 and type 3 patients were 12 cases (54.5%) and 14 cases (28.6%), respectively, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ 2 = 4.413, P < 0.05). Ten cases (45.5%) of B. Melitensis type 1 patients were cured, 12 cases (54.5%) were improved, 34 cases (69.4%) of B. Melitensis type 3 patients were cured, 15 cases (30.6%) were improved, and there were no invalid or relapsed patients in both groups, the difference in curative effect between the two groups was statistically significant (χ 2 = 3.690, P < 0.05). Conclusions:In Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, there are differences in the living areas of B. Melitensis type 1 and type 3 patients. The B. Melitensis type 1 patients are prone to testicular swelling and pain and brucellosis complications.

Objective:To understand the prevention knowledge of brucellosis among permanent residents in the agricultural area of Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and to provide a scientific basis for formulating brucellosis prevention strategies and measures.Methods:From May to December 2018, Daur Autonomous Banner of Morin Dawa and Arun Banner in the agricultural area of Hulunbuir City were selected as the survey sites. Three townships were selected from each banner, and one administrative village from each township was selected as the survey village. The permanent residents aged ≥14 who had lived in the survey village for at least one year were selected as the survey subjects. Serum was separated by the examiner and the rose-bengal plate agglutination test (RBPT) was conducted. The positive sera were further tested by tube agglutination test (SAT).Questionnaires were conducted by investigators in the form of face-to-face case interview, including general demographic information, family information, brucellosis prevention knowledge awareness status, epidemiological contact history, prevention status, general behavior, etc., to calculate the awareness rate of brucellosis prevention knowledge.Results:A total of 880 sera were isolated, of which 185 were positive for RBPT. Further examination of SAT showed that the positive rate of SAT was 17.27% (152/880). The overall awareness rate of brucellosis prevention knowledge was 46.73% (16 450/35 200). The awareness rates of males and females were 47.82% (8 473/17 720) and 45.64% (7 977/17 480), respectively. The 21 - 40 years old group had the highest awareness rate [60.94% (3 705/6 080)]. The awareness rates of primary school and below, junior high school, senior high school and above were 45.96% (11 969/26 040), 48.79% (3 962/8 120) and 49.90% (519/1 040), respectively. The awareness rate of people with livestock raising behavior in the year before the survey was 47.35% (8 011/16 920), while the awareness rate of people without such behavior was 46.17% (8 439/18 280).Conclusions:The overall awareness rate of brucellosis prevention knowledge among permanent residents in the agricultural area of Hulunbuir City is low. It is necessary to strengthen the training of relevant knowledge and strengthen the publicity and education of people with low awareness rate.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics, clinical features of brucellosis patients with abnormal blood routine, and to improve the awareness of brucellosis among clinicians.Methods:A total of 1 036 patients with brucellosis admitted to the Department of Brucellosis, Hulunbuir People's Hospital from January 2011 to December 2017 were selected, including 274 patients with abnormal blood routine (case group), and 762 patients with normal blood routine(conrtol group). Epidemiological characteristics, clinical features and laboratory tests were analyzed retrospectively.Results:In 274 patients of case group, there were 128 males and 146 females, and the age was (36.3 ± 18.7) years old. In 762 patients of conrtol group, there were 381 males and 381 females, and the age was (35.4 ± 20.4) years old, and there were no significant differences in sex ratio and age between the two groups ( P > 0.05). The main route of infection in the two groups was to raise livestock such as sheep and cattle, 254 cases (92.7%) and 724 cases (95.0%), respectively. The proportions of patients with dizziness symptoms were 31.0% (85/274) and 17.7% (135/762) in the two groups, and the proportions of patients with rash were 14.2% (39/274) and 3.0% (23/762), and the differences were statistically significant between the two groups (χ 2 = 21.331, 45.054, P < 0.05). The symptoms of fever, sweating and fatigue were common in both groups, and the splenomegaly was the most common sign. However, there were no significant differences in the proportion of abnormal characteristics between the two groups ( P > 0.05). Among the 274 patients in case group, 48 had leucopenia, 160 had anemia, and 148 had thrombocytopenia; and 17 had both leucopenia and anemia, 23 had both leucopenia and thrombocytopenia, and 16 had both anemia and thrombocytopenia, and 13 had leucopenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia at the same time. Conclusions:In the brucellosis epidemic area, when the patient has symptoms such as fever, fatigue, sweating, leucopenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia, and excluding abnormal blood routine caused by other reasons, clinicians should consider the possibility of Brucella infection.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of brucellosis complicated with rash.Methods:The medical records of 13 patients diagnosed with brucellosis complicated with rash diagnosed at the Hulunbuir People's Hospital from January 2017 to January 2022 were collected. Patient general information, clinical characteristics, laboratory tests and treatment results were analyzed by retrospective investigation.Results:Among the 13 patients with brucellosis complicated with rash, 10 were females and 3 were males, the youngest age was 39 years, and the oldest age was 62 years. All patients had fever, which may be accompanied by symptoms such as chills, fatigue, hyperhidrosis, arthralgia, headache and other symptoms. Among the 13 patients, 12 had scattered red or dark red macules/papules/maculopapules on the trunk and limbs, and 1 had red macules on both lower limbs, ranging in size from 2 to 10 mm, with no itching or pain symptoms, and the rash did not fade under pressure. All patients tested positive for rose bengal plate agglutination test (RBT) and in vitro serum agglutination test (SAT). Brucella was isolated and cultured from blood samples of 4 patients. All patients showed elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), with detection values ranging from 27.1 to 146.4 mg/L and 22 to 79 mm/hr, respectively. Platelet and hemoglobin decreased in 1 case, 64 × 10 9/L and 96 g/L, respectively. Seven patients showed elevated levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST), with detection values ranging from 51 to 204 and 45 to 210 U/L, respectively. Creatinine increased in 2 patients, and the detection values ranged from 92.6 to 125.3 μmol/L. Three patients had abnormal urine routine; bone damage was found in 1 patient. After 12 weeks or more of combined, full dose and full course of drug treatment, 12 cases were cured and 1 case improved, with a treatment effectiveness rate of 100%. Conclusions:The incidence of brucellosis complicated with rash is low. When the patient has a history of epidemiological contact with brucellosis, and has symptoms of fever and rash, combined with laboratory test results, brucellosis can be considered, and early treatment could lead to a good prognosis.
