Chinese Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy 2017;17(4):428-432
Objective The changing patterns of pathogenic isolates and antibiotic susceptibility in Chongqing's neonates between 2010 and 2015 were investigated for the purpose to provide evidence for rational use of antibiotics and control of nosocomial infections.Methods The distribution of pathogenic bacteria and antibiotic susceptibility were analyzed.Identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing were carried out using BD Phoenix 100 automated system and the conventional Kirby-Bauer method.The results were interpreted in accordance with the breakpoints of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute.Results A total of 10 569 pathogenic bacterial strains were isolated during the period,most of which were gram-negative bacteria (80.8 %,8 540/10 569),primarily Klebsiella pneumoniae (29.3 %),followed by Escherichia coli (16.7 %),Acinetobacter baumanmii (9.9 %),Enterobacter cloacae (8.6 %) and Pseudornonas aeruginosa (3.3 %).Gram-positive strains accounted for 14.1% (1 490/10 569),mainly Staphylococcus aureus (7.8%),Staphylococcus epidermidis (2.2 %),and Staphylococcus haemolyticus (1.8 %).Imipenem and meropenem showed high activity against Enterobacteriaceae (< 10% resistant),followed by P.aeruginosa (> 10 % resistant),and A.baumannii (>20% resistant).The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant strains was 8,4 % in K.pneumoniae and 2.9 % in E.coli isolates,No gram-positive isolates were resistant to vancomycin,teicoplanin or linezolid.Conclusions K.pneumoniae was the most frequently isolated pathogen in the neonates treated in Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University.The prevalence of A.baumannii isolates is increasing.Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae strains are emerging.

The Journal of Practical Medicine 2014;(4):542-545
Objective To investigate the relationship between omentin-1 and Coronary heart disease in different glucose tolerance populations. Methods Serum omentin-1 levels were determined by ELISA in 143 subjects with normal glucose tolerance,impaired glucose tolerance with CHD, type 2 diabetes mellitus with CHD. The relationships between omentin-1 and waist- to-hip ratio, body mass index (BMI), blood Glucose, serum insulin,HOMA-IR and blood fat were also explored.Coronary artery stenosis was screnned by coronary interventional angiography and assessed by Gensini scoring system. Results Serum omentin-1 levels were all lower in T2DM and IGT subjects than those in control subjects (P<0.01). Serum omentin-1 was correlated positively with high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (P < 0.01),and inversely with body mass index,waist-hip ratio,diastolic blood pressure, triglyceride,fasting blood glucose,fasting insulin,HbA1c,[w1]and insulin resistance(HOMA-IR)(P<0.05 or P <0.01).Omentin-1 levels was negative related with Gensini coronary artery score (P < 0.01). Multiple linear regression showed body mass index,HOMA-IR,diastolic blood pressure were independently associated with omentin-1 levels (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusions Serum omentin-1 levels, associated with fat,insulin sensitivity, are likely to play an important role in insulin resistance and the development of CHD in populations with different glucose tolerance.

Objective To introduce the method, indications and the usage of abdominal double layer subcutaneous flap for the repair of late complicated hand injury. Methods A new type of flap was designed to repair the complicated hand injury. Sixteen cases were treated with this method since 1998. Results The duration of the follow up ranged from 3 to 24 months with an average of 13 months. All of the flaps survived well. After physiotherapy, the overall excellent and good rate of joint movement was 80%(TAM standard). No further surgery was required in all of the cases. Conclusion The abdominal double layer subcutaneous flap was especially indicated in those cases with bone nonunion, tendon and nerve defect and tendonous adhesions. This kind of flap not only provide a good skin covering, but also offer a soft bed for the tendons, nerves, and bones.

2h.The shape of bacterium was changed by amikacin from sphero-rhabditiform to dolicho-rhabditiform,while by ceftriaxone changed from rhabditiform to long-chain-form or filament-form.Conclusion The capability of ceftriaxone-induced release of endotoxin from Escherichia coli is significantly stronger than that of amikacin,and the morphologic changes of bacteria caused by ceftriaxone were more significant.For clinical treatmentg of infectious diseases the first dosage of medication should increase to reach the effective bactericidal concentration but not the bacteriostasis concentration in order to receive better therapeutic effects.

Objective To explore the expression of the Merlin protein in normal cervix and cervical can-cer of the Han,Tibetan and Hui nationalities in Qinghai. Methods Immunohisto-chemical staining was per-formed to detect the expression of Merlin in 108 cases of cervical carcinoma(40 cases of Han,38 cases of Tibetan and 30 cases of Hui nationality)and 107 cases of normal cervix(40 cases of Han,37 cases of Tibetan and 30 cas-es of Hui nationality). Results The positive expression rates of Merlin in normal cervix were 90.0%,91.9%and 86.7%respectively and those in cervical carcinoma were 17.5%,18.4%and 16.7%respectively. There was signifi-cantly statistical difference(P<0.05). However,there was no significant difference in the positive rates of Merlin between cervical carcinoma among different ethnic groups(P>0.05). The expression of Merlin was not correlated with age,FIGO stage,lymph metastasis and cell differentiation(P > 0.05)in cervical carcinoma of three ethnic groups. Conclusion The decrease or even deletion of Merlin may be involved in the development of cervical can-cer,and it plays an important role in cervical cancer. The expression of Merlin exerts no effect on the occurrence of cervical cancer and it is not associated with the clinical characteristics of the patients ,suggesting that it may not be involved in the invasion and metastasis of cervical cancer.

An RP-HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of and Amlodipine (AL)Ramipril (RP) in tablets was developed and validated by Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2010. The linearity of the proposed method was investigated in the range of 0.01-0.25 mg/mL (r2 ? 0.9998) for RP and 0.014-0.36 mg/mL (r2 ? 0.9997) for AL. The limits of detection (LOD) were 0.06μg/mL and 0.02μg/mL for RP and AL, and the limits of quantitation (LOQ) were 0.2μg/mL and 0.07μg/mL, respectively. Some major impurities and degradation products did not disturb the detection of RP and AL and the assay can thus be considered stability-indicating.

Objective To assess the value of the myocardial segment number of color change in the bull's eyes of three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3D-STE)in the detection of multi-vessel coronary stenosis at the resting state.Methods A total of 125 consecutive patients were enrolled and divided into the following three groups according to the coronary angiography(CAG):multi-vessel coronary stenosis group (n=48),single-vessel stenosis group(n =34)and control group (n =43).All patients underwent two-dimensional (2D)and three-dimensional echocardiography (3D)and three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (STE).The bull's eyes of left ventricular 17 myocardial segments including longitudinal strain(LS),circumferential strain (CS),area strain(AS)and radial strain(RS)were acquired by 3D-STE.The homogeneous colors were regarded as normal wall motion myocardial segment (LS,CS,AS is a uniform red,RS for uniform blue ),the colors were uneven or shallower,or changes were regarded as abnormal wall motion myocardial segment.The myocardial segment number of color change in the bull's eyes can be calculated.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC ) curves were computed to determine optimal strain cutoff values to predict multi-vessel coronary stenosis.Results The myocardial segments of abnormal wall motion in the bull's eyes (LS,CS,AS,and RS)were significantly increased compared with the control group(P <0.001).In particular,the multi-vessel coronary stenosis group were dramatically increased than the single-vessel coronary stenosis group.Meanwhile,these parameters were higher in patients with multi-vessel coronary stenosis than in those with single-vessel coronary stenosis (P <0.05).ROC analysis demonstrated areas under the curve of 0.84 for 3D GLS,0.89 for 3D GCS,0.95 for 3D GAS,and 0.89 for 3D GRS.An optimal cutoff value of magnitude,sensitivity and specificity were LS,12,89.6%,76.7%;CS,11,89.6%,74.4%;AS,12,91.7%,88.4%;RS,13,81.2%,86.0%,respectively. Conclusions The myocardial segment number of color change in the bull's eyes by 3D-STE is useful to detect multi-vessel coronary stenosis,where in GAS are more valuable indicators with higher sensitivity and specificity.
