Objective:To investigate the effect of Ginkgo leaf extract and dipyridamole injection on serum tumor necrosis factor-α, procalcitonin, lipopolysaccharide and 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis.Methods:Ninety patients with sepsis who received treatment in Ningbo Yinzhou People's Hospital from February 2018 to February 2019 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive routine treatment (control group, n = 45) or Ginkgo leaf extract and dipyridamole injection treatment combined with routine treatment (treatment group, n = 45). Clinical efficacy, preoperative and postoperative Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score, serum tumor necrosis factor-α, procalcitonin, bacterial lipopolysaccharide levels as well as 28-day mortality were compared between the control and treatment groups. Results:There was significant difference in total effective rate between the treatment and control groups [91.11% (41/45) vs. 75.56% (34/45), χ 2 = 6.690, P = 0.039]. After treatment, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score in the treatment group were (15.93 ± 1.01) points and (6.25 ± 1.83) points, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(18.62 ± 1.75) points, (8.54 ± 2.19) points, t = 8.931, 5.383, all P < 0.001]. After treatment, serum tumor necrosis factor-α, procalcitonin and lipopolysaccharide levels in the treatment group were (43.62 ± 3.39) ng/L, (1.46 ± 0.79) μg/L, (23.62 ± 7.19) ng/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(56.28 ± 4.54) ng/L, (2.12 ± 1.03) ng/L, (33.75 ± 8.67) ng/L, t = 14.989, 3.411, 6.033, P < 0.001, P = 0.001, P < 0.001]. The 28-day mortality in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group [6.67%(3/45) vs. 22.22%(10/45), χ 2 = 8.160, P = 0.017]. Conclusion:Based on routine treatment, Ginkgo leaf extract and dipyridamole injection can improve the clinical symptoms of patients with sepsis, reduce inflammatory reaction and decrease mortality.

Objective To investigate the genetic mutation of the norA gene and its promotor from the wild-type drug-resistance Staphylococeus aureus(S.aureus)strains. Methods A total of 10 antibiotic-resistant S.aureus strains were isolated and screened from the burn wound for the sequencing and analysis of the nora gene and its promoter. Results There isolated 87 S.aureus strains from the burn wound flora,which were completely sensitive to vacomycin,highly sensitive to Quinupristin and Nitrofurantoin,but highly resistant to the other antibiotics,even up to91.7% of MRSA.There found the same point mutation(G→A) located at 1 349 sites of the norA gene coding region in all the S.aureus strains,saying that the amino acid was changed from Gly(glycin)to Asp(agpartic acid) in 291 sites.The resetpine reverse test showed that the MICs value of three antibiotics was lowered at various degrees in all 10strains.Conclusion NorA gene mutation is one of the mechanisms for antibiotic-resistance of S.aureus.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for clinical treatment of Acinetobacter baumannii infection and rational use of antibiotics. METHODS :By retrospective analysis ,64 500 strains of bacteria were isolated from the inpatients of our hospital during Jan. 2015 to Dec. 2018. WHONET 5.6 software was used to analyze the detection rate ,specimen type ,departments of A. baumannii. The resistance of A. baumannii to 18 commonly used antibiotics in 4 years was analyzed by RxC table χ 2 test. RESULTS:A total of 2 072,2 040,2 017 and 2 143 strains of A. baumannii were isolated during 2015-2018,accounting for 12.85%,13.38%,13.60%,11.71% of positive specimens. The main specimen types of 8 272 strains of A. baumannii were sputum(4 368 strains,52.81%),pus(1 106 strains,13.37%),ascites(804 strains,9.72%). The main departments were burn department(1 605 strains,19.40%),hepatobiliary department (1 200 strains,14.51%),brain surgery department (977 strains, 11.81%). The drug resistance rate to 18 kinds of antibiotics showed a wave-like decreasing trend (P<0.001). In 2018,drug resistance rate to ampicillin and aztreonam was more than 80%,and that to ampicillin/sulbactam ,ceftazidime,levofloxacin, Compound sulfamethoxazole ,gentamicin,amikacin,tobramycin and tegacyclin was less than 50% ,among which the drug resistance rate to amikacin and tegacyclin were 14.7% and 0,respectively. CONCLUSIONS :There is no significant change in the number of isolates and detection rate of A. baumannii in our hospital between 2015 and 2018. The bacteria mainly cause respiratory tract infection. Amikacin or tegacyclin are recommended for treatment.

Objective:
To identify the epidemiological characteristics of the common diarrhea-related virusesof children under 5 years of age in Chengdu area, and provide the objective evidences for prevention and control of diarrhea.
Methods:
Fecal specimens collected from children with acute gastroenteritis between March 2006 and June 2015 were sent to Center for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) of Sichuan province for detection of viral RNA. Clinical data were also documented. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) and/or Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) were used to detect and classify rotavirus, human calicivirus, adenovirus and astrovirus.
Results:
A total of 2 331 fecal specimens from children (1 446 male and 885 female) under 5 were collected. 1 351 were identified as having viral gastroenteritis with the overall positive rate of 58.0%. Children at the age from 7 to 12 months were the susceptible population. Rotavirus was detected in 659 specimens (28.3%) with epidemic time from November to December. Human calicivirus was detected in 542 specimens (23.3%) and September was its epidemic time. Norovirus GII was the main strain of the virus, but no outbreak was observed in our study. Prevalence of rotavirus declined after 2007, while the detection rate of calicivirus was increasing, which led it to be one of the primary pathogens related to viral gastroenteritis in children under 5. Astrovirus was detected in only 35 patients (1.5%) mainly identified from January to March. Adenovirus was detected in 118 patients (5.1%) mainly from May to August with limited epidemic in 2011. Most patients had acute progress(91.2%), none have chronic progress. Mild dehydration was the most common symptom among all the children, followed by moderate dehydration, while none of the patient had severe symptom. Digestive symptoms are usually accompanied by extra-intestinal symptoms in both virus infection. However, extra-intestinal symptoms had higher incidences in rotavirus infection than in calicivirus infection, while the patients with these symptoms recovered during the follow-up period.
Conclusions
Virus infection is the common cause of acute gastroenteritis in children under 5. Rotavirus and human calicivirus were the leading pathogens in Chengdu area.
