OBJECTIVE To study the distribution and drug resistance supervision of infection pathogens of Gram-negative bacterial pneumonia in lower respiratory tract of senile patients and draft preventive and control measures.METHODS The sputum and lower respiration secretion of 368 senile patients were cultured to detect pathogens which were confirmed by routine methods.The disk diffusion test was adopted to analyze drug resistantce.RESULTS Pseudomonas aeruginosa rated the top one,reached 25.0%;the drug resistance supervision manifested that the resistant rates of Gram negative organisms to the routine drugs were high except for Haemophilus influenzae.And extensive-spectrum beta-lactamases(ESBLs) occurred with rate of 30.2%.CONCLUSIONS It is very necessary for clinical microbiology department to detect pathogens of lower respiratory tract pneumonia among senile patients and then to give reasonable advice for medicine in time.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the spread status and drug-resistance of pathogenic bacteria causing chronic bacterial prostatitis among the senile patients,and provide the reference for clincal diagnosis and treatment.METHODS Prostatic fluid from the senile patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis was collected,and bacterial cultures and susceptibility tests were performed.The data were analyzed statistically.RESULTS Among 216 prostatic fluid specimens from the senile patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis,140 isolates of pathogenic bacteria were detected.In these strains,Gram-positive cocci accounted for 60.0% and most of them were Staphylococcus aureus.Gram-negative bacilli accounted for 40.0% and most of them were Escherichia coli.Pathogens causing prostatitis have been resistant to the common antibiotics.Among the total staphylococci,meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus(MRS) accounted for 34.8%.And among the total Enterobacteriaceae,ESBLs producing bacteria accounted for 35.6%.CONCLUSIONS Chronic bacterial prostatitis in the senile patients possesses intractability and persisting.It is important to monitor the pathogens and their drug-resistance.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of terlipressin in the management of ascites after hepatectomy.Methods Fifty-four patients with hepatic cancer who were admitted to the Union Hospital of Tongji Medical College from January 2010 to January 2011 were randomly divided into the research group (28 patients) and control group (26 patients) according to the random number table.Patients in the research group were treated by the terlipressin and albumin,and patients in the control group were treated by furosemide and albumin.The volume of ascites,urine output,renal function,electrolyte balance,recovery after hepatectomy and complications of the 2 groups were investigated.All data were analyzed by the t test,chi-square test or Fisher exact probability.Results The volume of postoperative maximum drainage was (351 ± 174) ml in the research group,which was significantly lesser than (551 ±233)ml in the control group (t =3.604,P ＜ 0.05).The total urine output of the research group was significantly higher than that of the control group at postoperative day 1 and day 3 (t =5.816,2.722,P ＜ 0.05).All patients had normal renal function except 1 patient was complicated by hepatorenal syndrome in the control group.Electrolyte imbalance was observed in 3 patients (11％) in the research group and 9 patients (35％) in the control group,with a significant difference (x2 =4.456,P ＜ 0.05).The postoperative time of intensive care unit stay and the anal exsufflation time of the research group were (22 ± 12)hours and (68 ±24)hours,which were similar to (23 ± 10)hours and (76 ±28)hours of the control group (t =0.331,1.130,P ＞0.05).The abdominal drainage tube removal time and hospital stay of the research group were (102 ± 42)hours and (15 ±4)days,which were significantly shorter than (140 ±50) hours and (18 ±5)days (t =3.032,2.443,P ＜ 0.05).There were 1 patient in the research group complicated with high blood pressure and 1 patient in the control group with cardiac arrhythmia.The incidences of adverse reaction were 4％ (1/28) in the research group and 4％ (1/26) in the control group,with no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Terlipressin is effective in the management of ascites after hepatectomy,has less effect on electrolyte balance and is beneficial to quick recovery.

Objective: To investigate the effect and mechanism of liraglutide on vasodilatation of thoracic aortic ring in experimental rats.
Methods: The thoracic aortic rings were isolated from 32 male SD rats and divided into 2 groups: Without endothelium group and With intact endothelium group, n=16 in each group. The contractile force of vascular ring was detected and the effect of liraglutide (1×10-5 mol/L) on vasodilatation of norepinephrine (NE, 1×10-6 mol/L) pre-contracted ring was observed. The aortic ring in With intact endothelium group was further divided into 2 sub-groups:①the aortic ring was pre-treated by the inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) (L-NAME at 10-4 mol/L),② the aortic ring was pre-treated by non-specific ATP-sensitive-potassium (KATP) channel (Glibenclamide at 10-5 mol/L), n=8 in each group. The impacts of liraglutide on those 2 sub-groups were studied.
Results: Liraglutide had no effect on isolated aortic ring at basic condition. Liraglutide at (10-5 mol/L) had vasodilatation effect in both Without endothelium and With intact endothelium groups, the effect was stronger in With intact endothelium group and the maximum vasodilatation reached 17%, P<0.05. In both pre-treated sub-groups, the effect of liraglutide on vasodilatation in sub-group①reached 4%, P<0.05, and the effect in sub-group②
reached 14%, P>0.05.
Conclusion: Liraglutide had obvious effect of vasodilatation on NE pre-contracted thoracic aortic ring in experimental rats, the mechanism might be related to NOS, while KATP channel could not block the vasodilatation effect of liraglutide.

Yi Guan Jian decoction is a traditional Chinese medicine formula noted in Wei Yu-huang's Xu Ming Yi Lei An (Supplement to the Classified Medical Records of Famous Physicians). Acne vulgaris and chronic pelvic inflammation could be successfully treated by the decoction following the principle of formula corresponding to syndromes. The identical characteristics of constitution are found among the patients treated by the decoction, known as the "Yi Guan Jian constitution". It indicates that patients can be treated according to the constitutional characteristics.
