OBJECTIVE To investigate nosocomial infection and antibiotic resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa among geriatrics patients and to instruct clinical monitoring and control infection.METHODS P.aeruginosa isolates from geriatrics patients were identified and the resistance to antibiotics was determined by K-B method.RESULTS The risk factors of nosocomial infection were underlying diseases,low immunological function,long time hospitalization,invasive treatment,and prolonged antibiotic therapy.The resistant rates to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and cefotaxime in PA were 74.8% and 60.2%,respectively.The resistance rate to imipenem was 3.9%.CONCLUSIONS It is suggested to carry out proper measurement to control the spread of multiresistant strains in order to improve the treatment of PAE infection in geriatrics patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the resistance phenotype and clinical feature of super extended spectrum ?-lactamases(SSBLs) producing Escherichia coli in order to provide reference for the clinical application of drugs.METHODS Totally 945 strains of ESBLs producing E.coli collected from Jan 2003 to Jun 2007 were identified by API microbiological assay system.Susceptbility tests were performed by K-B methods.Improved three-dimensional tests were adopted to test ESBLs and AmpC lactamase.Test data were analyzed statistically by WHONET 5.3 software.RESULTS From them eighteren strains of SSBLs producers were detected.Between the positive for ESBLs strains and the negative strains,there were some significant differences in the antimicrobial resistance(P

Objective To investigate the relationship between the plasma NT-pro BNP level and the hear function in children pa-tients with heart failure.Methods 30 children patients with heart failure and 30 healthy children were selected as the patients group and the control group respectively.The plasma NT-pro BNP level was detected in the patients group before and after treatment and the control group.The changes of heart functional indexes and the clinical symptoms in the patients group were detected,the detec-tion results and the plasma NT-pro BNP levels were performed the correlation retrospective analysis.Results The plasma NT-pro BNP level before treatment in the patients group was significantly higher than that in the control group,there was the statistically significant difference between them(P <0.05 ).After treatment,the clinical symptoms in the patients group were obviously im-proved,the plasma NT-pro BNP level was significantly decreased and LVEF by ultrasound was also increased,the differences were statistically significant(P <0.05).The plasma NT-pro BNP level after treatment in the patients group was obviously higher than that in the control group with statistical difference between them(P <0.05).The plasma NT-pro BNP level before and after treat-ment in the patients group demonstrated a negative correlation with LVEF(r=-1.32,r=-1.78).Conclusion Detecting the plas-ma NT-pro BNP level in children patients with heart failure has the important clinical guidance significance for the diagnosis,disease condition evaluation,prognostic evaluation and cardiac function grading in the children patients with heart failure.
