Objctive To investigate the zymogenic state and drug resistance of multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDRP) for providing a laboratory basis of combined use of drugs against MDRP in clinical practice. Methods All isolates were isolated by routine procedures and identified by VITEK-2 automatic bacterial identification instrument. Following the CLSI instruction, doubling dilution in agar plates was performed for MIC detection. Results MDRP were 22.77% ( 86.96% for sputum) from 101 strains Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which were isolated from clinical specimens. Positive rates of MDRP producing metallo-?-lactmases were 91.3%, positive rates for producing induced Ampc and plasmid Ampc ?-lactamase were 52.17% and 21.74%, respectively. The ratio between Meropenem and Imipenem higher then 1 was 34.78%. The bacterial inhibitory rates of Polymyxin B and Imipenem were zero, that of Amikaein and Ceftaxidime were 4.35%, that of Ciprofloxacin and Cefoperazone/sulbactam were 43.48%, that of Pazufioxacin and Piperacillin/Tazobactam were 21.74% and 26.07%, and that of Meropenem was 47.83%. The combined use of Cefoperazone/sulbactam, Cefpirome, Piperacillin/Tazobactam with Amikacin resulted in bacteriostatic rate of 65.2%, 47.8%, 43.5%, respectively. Conclusoins MDRP is main micro-organism found in respiratory tract specimens. Drug resistance of MDRP is related to multiple drug-resistant mechanisms. Clinicians should first select enzyme inhibitory-drug (Cefoperazone/sulbactam or Piperacillin/Tazohaetam) with Amikacin or Polymyxin B to treat clinical MORP infection, and re-adjust the type of antibiotics rationally according to patients' symptoms, phenotype of the drug-resistant pathogen, the results of drug susceptibility test, and the effect on the patients.

Background and purpose:The skeleton is one of the most common sites of metastasis in patients with lung cancer.Bone metastases often cause poor prognosis.It is important to early detect bone metastases.Therefore,we planned a retrospective study to investigate the role of radionuclide bone scanning with 99mTc-MDP in detecting bone metastases in lung cancer patients.Methods:It was a retrospective analysis.400 patients with lung cancer diagnosed in our hospital from 2005.5 to 2007.5 were recruited.Using 99mTc-MDP bone scanning,we analyzed the symptoms,sites,numbers,pathological types and TNM stages of bone metastases.Results:Ostealgia was the most frequent symptom in lung cancer patients with bone metastases.The sites of bone metastases were:thoracic bones(41.52%),vertebras(32.31%),pelvic bones(15.89%),extremities(8.68%),skull(1.60%).126 patients had multiple bone metastases(80.25%).There was a statistical significance of bone metastases in adenocarcinoma patients(48.09%)compared with in squamous cell carcinoma patients(33.33%)(P

Objective To observe the expression of matrix metalloproteinase(MMP-2, MMP-9 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in retinoblastoma (RB) and its relationship with the differentiation and optic nerve infiltration of RB. Methods Forty paraffin specimens of pathological confirmed RB were studied. They were divided into differentiated group (15 cases) and undifferentiated group (25 cases) , optic nerve infiltration group( 13 cases) and without optic nerve infiltration group(27cases). The expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF were detected by immunohistochemistry, their relationships with the differentiation and optic nerve infiltration were also analyzed. Results The positive rate of MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF expression in 40 RB cases were 52.5%, 57.5% and 72.5%respectively. The expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF in the undifferentiated group were significantly higher than those in the differentiated group (χ2= 9. 037, 9. 253, 8. 095;P<0. 05). The expression ofMMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF in RB with optic nerve infiltration group were significantly higher than those in RB without optic nerve infiltration group (χ2=11.045,10. 243, 8. 956;P<0. 05). The expression of MMP-2,MMP-9 had a positive correlation with the expression of VEGF in RB (r= 0. 126, 0. 314;P < 0. 05).Conclusions MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF expressed in RB tumor tissues. The expression of MMP-2,MMP-9 has a positive correlation with the expression of VEGF. The levels of MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF expression are related to optic nerve infiltration of RB cells.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathologic features and differential diagnosis ofacroangiodermatitis (AM).Methods Clinical and pathological data on 12 patients with AM were retrospectively reviewed.Results Clinical manifestations of AM consisted of circumscribed brown to violaeeous macules,plaques,nodules and ulceration.Lesions were located in bilateral legs in 6 patients,and in unilateral legs in the other 6 patients.Histopathological examination revealed an increased number of lobular or clump-shaped capillaries and small veins whose lumens were round and regular,swelling of vascular endothelial cells,and different degrees of erythrocyte extravasation,hemosiderin deposition,dermal fibrosis and sparse infiltrates of inflammatory cells.The lesions were histologically located in the superficial dermis in 3 cases,in the upper and middle dermis in 8 cases,and in the entire dermis in 1 case.Immunohistochemical studies showed that vascular endothelial cells stained positive for CD31 and CD34,while perivascular cells stained negative for CD34.Conclusions AM has specific clinical and pathological manifestations,and pathological examination is essential for the diagnosis of AM.

A case of granular parakeratosis is reported. A 31-year-old woman presented with a 23-year history of pruritic erythema and erosion in the left axilla. On examination, there was a ring-like annular erythematous patch sized 8 cm×10 cm in the left axilla. Bright mauve, cone-shaped, millet-like papules were observed in the center of the lesion, some confluenced into plaques. Erythema was present in the pedlesional region along with mild erosion, exudation and small numbers of grain-sized pustules. Scar formed in some perilesional areas. No lesions were noted at any other intertriginous regions. Fungal microscopy of lesion secretions was negative. Histological examination of biopsy specimens from the center of the left axilla revealed psoriasiform hyperplasia of epidermis and thickened stratum comeum with hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis. Most cells in the stratum comenm retained nuclei and contained numerous basophilic granules. Granular layer could be noted under the parakeratotic cells with cytoplasm vacuolization of some cells. There was a perivascular, mixed inflammatory infiltration predominated by lymphocytes and hemangiectasis in the dermis. A diagnosis of granular parakeratosis was made.

Purpose:To evaluate the role of COX 2 in the carcinogenesis and progression of human colorectal neoplasms. Methods:The expression level of COX 2 in 122 colorectal neoplasm tissues(including 35 colorectal adenomas, 67 colorectal carcinoma and 23 colorectal cancer with synchoronous hepatic metastasis) was assayed by immunohistochemical methods. All specimens was analyzed by Conformation quantitative assay system, their stain strength was calculated.Results:Conformation quantitative assay showed the mean stain strength is 704.5 131.8 in colorectal adenoma, 1197.2 204.3 in colorectal cancer without hepatic metastasis and 1901.2 324.8 in colorectal cancer with synchoronous hepatic metastasis, there are significant differences among them statistically. According to the Dukes stages, mean stain strength is 1145.3 187.0 in B stage,1237.0?298.7 in C stage,1901.2 in D stage. There is statistic difference between Dukes stage D and B, C. Also our study indicated there was no relationship between age, sex, tumor location, tumor differentiation or tumor size with the level of COX 2 protein expression.Conclusions:In our test,higher COX 2 expression is seen in colorectal cancer than colorectal adenomas, colorectal cancer with synchoronous hepatic metastasis than colorectal cancer without hepatic metastasis,and Dukes D stage than the B?C. Thus COX 2 responses is important in the carcinogenesis and progression of colorectal cancer. NSAIDs or the others may play a role in the chemoprevention strategies of colorectal neoplasm as the COX 2 inhibitor.
