ObjectiveTo analyze the distribution and antibiotic resistance of bacteria isolated from cerebrospinal fluid. Methods569 cerebrospinal fluild specimens were analyzed. ResultsPathogens were isolated from 93 specimens (16.3%), in which 52 were Gram positive bacteria and 38 were negative, 3 were fungi. All the Gram positive cocci were sensitive to vancomycin and linezolid, while the Gram negative bacteria were resistant to routine antibiotics such as cefotaxime and ceftriaxone, but sensitive to carbapenems. ConclusionThe prevailing pathogens in intracranial infection are Gram positive cocci, especially Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureu.

Objective To explore the value of real time contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant adrenal lesions.Methods Totally,57 adrenal lesions (26malignant and 31 benign) underwent conventional ultrasound and real-time CEUS.The enhancement patterns including types of time-intensity curve,centripetal fill-in,homogeneity and intensity of enhancement were analyzed.Results The enhancement pattern of normal adrenal gland was homogeneous,centrifugal and rapid perfusion from the medulla to the cortex.Four enhancement patterns were significantly different between benign and malignant adrenal lesions (P ＜0.05).If enhancement in the early arterial phase and rapid washout was suggestive of malignancy,the sensitivity and specificity of CEUS were 96.2％ and 77.4％,respectively.If peripheral to central filling was suggestive of malignancy,the sensitivity and specificity of CEUS were 76.9 ％ and 80.7 ％,respectively.Conclusions The patterns of real-time CEUS are helpful in differential diagnosis of malignant and benign adrenal lesions.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of recombinant human interleukin-11 combined with ciclosporin in treatment of giucocorticoid invalid idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.MethodsFrom August 2009 to August 2011,35 cases with glucocorticoid invalid idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura patients were divided into two groups according to the treatment method:13 cases in control group were treated with ciclosporin and 22 cases in observation group were treated with recombinant human interleukin-11 at basis of above method.The clinical effect and platelet counts between two groups were compared.Results The total effective rate in observation group was 90.9％ (20/22),which was significantly higher than that in control group [53.8％ (7/13)] (P ＜0.05).After treatment,the platelet counts in both two groups were significantly increased [control group:( 112.5 ± 15.4) × 109/t vs.(13.2 ± 1.8 ) × 109/L; observation group:( 132.7 ± 22.3 ) × 109/L vs.(12.9 ± 1.6) × 109/L] (P ＜ 0.05 ).Moreover,the platelet counts after treatment in observation group was significantly more than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionRecombinant human interleukin-11combined with ciclosporin in treatment of glucocorticoid invalid idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is a good treatment scheme,which can be applied in clinic.

Objective To evaluate the rationale of lowering the cutoff value of impaired fasting glucose(IFG)by studying the extent and severity of angiographic coronary artery disease(CAD)and the cardiovascular risk factors in subjects with different fasting plasma glucose(FPG)levels. Methods A total of 911 consecutive patients who had undergone coronary angiography were selected according to inclusion criteria. The subjects were studied in view of the extent and severity of angiographic CAD and the cardiovascular risk factors with different FPG levels. Results (1) Compared with the group of FPG<5.6mmol/L, the numbers of diseased vessels in the group with FPG 5.6-6.0mmol/L were significantly increased(P<0.05)after adjustment of age, sex and other influencing factors; the group with FPG 6.1-6.9mmol/L had both raised number of diseased vessels and the CAD Gensini cumulative index(P<0.01). (2) The prevalences of overweight, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, metabolic syndrome were progressively increasing with graded FPG levels. The prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia was significantly increased with FPG level at 5.0-5.6mmol/L(P<0.05),and the prevalences of metabolic syndrome and other components were significantly elevated with FPG level at 5.6-6.0mmol/L(P<0.05). Conclusion (1) The extent and severity of angiographic CAD were increased with increased FPG even in prediabetic period. The risk of angiographic CAD became increased significantly with FPG at 5.6-6.0mmol/L level. (2) The cardiovascular disease(CVD)risk was also increased with increasing FPG even in prediabetic period. The phenomenon of clustering of CVD risk factors was found at FPG 5.6mmol/L.

Objective To explore the effects of trimetazidine on myocardial free radical inj ury induced by pirarubicin,and to clarify the protective effect and mechanism of trimetazidine on myocardial inj ury induced by pirarubicin.Methods 3 6 Wistar rats were randomly divided into pirarubicin group (n= 1 3 ), trimetazidine intervention group(n=13)and control group (n=10).The rats in pirarubicin group and trimetazidine intervention group were inj ected with pirarubicin 2.5 mg · kg-1 by the vena caudal once a week for 6 weeks. The rats in trimetazidine intervention group were intragastricly infused with trimetazidine 5.4 mg · kg-1 · d-1 one day for 8 weeks before making the model. At the end of the experiment,the malonaldehyde (MDA)level,nitrogen oxide (NO)level,superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity,and nonprotein sulfhydryl (NPSH)level in myocardium tissue were measured. The histological changes of myocardium tissue were detected by electron microscope. Results Compared with control group ,the levels of MDA and NO in pirarubicin group were increased(P<0.05), and the SOD activity and NPSH level in pirarubicin group were decreased(P<0.05).Compared with pirarubicin group,the levels of MDA and NO in trimetazidine intervention group were decreased(P<0.05),the SOD activity and NPSH level in trimetazidine intervention group were increased(P<0.05).Under electron microscope,the myocardiocytes of the rats in pirarubicin group showed irregular arrangement in sacromere structure, shrinkage in nuclear membrane, vacuolation in nuclear matrix, obvious mitochondria swelling, deposition of metachromatin throughout the nucleus,and an indistinct view of intercalated disc with isolation;while in trimetazidine intervention group the nucleus was round and nuclear membrane was indented,myofilament bundles were decreased slightly with a regular arrangement, intercalated disc oriented transversely with partial vague in cell j unction structure, and mitochondria slightly swelled.Conclusion Trimetazidine has the protective effects on the damaged myocardiocytes caused by pirarubicin,and its mechanism may be related to reducing the production of free radicals and decreasing the injury of structures within the cells,such as the nucleus,mitochondria and intercalated disc.
