OBJECTIVE To investigate the drug resistance of lower respiratory infection by Acinetobacter baumannii in ICU,in order to provide reference for clinical anti-infection treatment.METHODS We collected 128 A.baumannii strains through bacterial culture of lower respiratory tract secretions from patients after intubation or tracheal incision during Dec 2006 to Dec 2008,and analyzed the results of the drug resistance.RESULTS A.baumannii had high resistance rate to the most antibacterials,The antibiotics with the highest drug resistance rate were cefalotin(99.22%),cefoxitin(96.09%) and cefuroxime(94.53%),while Sulperazon has the lowest drug resistance rate(6.25%).CONCLUSIONS A.baumannii is one of the most important conditional pathogenic bacterium in ICU,which has high resistance rate to most antibacterials,so clinical physicians must pay more attentions to it.

Objective To investigate the female mycoplasma urogenital infections and drug-resistance.Methods Liqid medium was used to indentify mycoplasmas and detect the susceptibility in vitro of thirteen antimicrobial agents.Results The total rate of mycoplasma infection was 44.0%, including Uu 37.1%, Mh 0.9%, Uu and Mh compound infection was 6.0%. The susceptible rate of more than 80% were jossamycin (90.8%), clarithromycin (88.5%),azithromycin (84.8%) and minocycline (81.2%). The susceptibilities in vitro of all sorts of antibiotic decreased significantly for Uu and Mh compound infections.Conclusion Mycoplasmas produce particular resistance to antibiotics.Jossamycin,clarithromycin,azithromycin and minocycline can be the drugs of first choice.

The arterial supply of the human tibia in 50 specimens, ranging in age from 4 to 87 years, has been studied by the arterial perfusion method. The tibia is supplied principally by branches of the anterior and posterior tibial arteries and the peroneal artery, with additional contributions from the inferior genicular arteries, the middle genicular artery and from the infrapatellar branch of the descending genicular artery. There is a continuous arterial anastomosis in the periosteal network on the non-articular surface of the tibia. The segmental periosteal ring arteries dividing into ascending and descending branches, connect with the branches from above and below to form the longitudinal anastomoses along the anterior, medial and the lower one-third of lateral tibial borders. The epiphyseal-metaphyseal regions are copiously supplied by vessels entering from the periphery and by the nutrient artery. With the fusion of the epiphyseal plate, a free anastomosis is established between the epiphyseal and metaphyseal nutrient vessels. The whole of the marrow and the inner two-thirds or three-quarters of its cortex are supplied by the nutrient artery. The outer third or fourth of the cortex is supplied by the periosteal vessels. Because the cortical longitudinal and transverse capillary systems are profusely anastomosed with each other and with the periosteal and endosteal circulatory networks, the blood can flow in either direction, depending on physiological conditions.The clinical significance of the arterial distribution to the tibia is briefly discussed.

In order to confirm the existence of indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO) gene in swine, and to clone the novel gene followed by the molecule structure properties and expression pattern analysis, the porcine mRNA sequences homologous to human IDO were obtained from GenBank database by bioinformatics method. By using RT-PCR, the IDO gene was cloned from porcine endothelial cell line and the accuracy of the nucleic acid sequence was confirmed, and the expression pattern of the gene was detected. The three-dimensional structure model of porcine IDO was built referring to the tertiary structure of human IDO using biological sequence analysis software and database. The results showed that the porcine IDO was identified by sequencing. The nucleotide sequences were confirmed as a novel gene after submitted to Genbank. Porcine IDO was expressed in the lung, thymus, epididymis and anterior chamber with a basic level, however in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) the IDO gene was highly expressed. The three-dimensional structure model of porcine IDO was similar to that of human IDO. It was suggested that identification of the structure information of porcine IDO is essential to further investigate the immunologic function of the gene. Study of IDO on NK cells-mediated xenograft rejection will be a novel therapeutic target for the development of xenotransplantation.

Objective:To study the levels and variation of equilibrium factor in indoor environment.Methods:A one-year continuous measurement of radon concentration and equilibrium equivalent radon concentration was carried out in an indoor office building of Nanning city. The effective data acquisition rates of radon gas and radon progeny were 99.9% and 86.7%, respectively.Results:The annual average activity concentration and equilibrium equivalent radon concentration in indoor environment were (50.9±20.7)and (15.5±10.1)Bq/m 3, both of which had the same diurnal and seasonal variation. The average annual value of equilibrium factor was 0.30±0.12, showing no obvious diurnal variation. The distribution of monthly mean value of equilibrium factor showed a similar trend to that of radon and radon progeny. The highest and the lowest value appeared in November and June, respectively, with 0.47±0.24 and 0.19±0.06. Conclusions:Due to the large variation range of monthly mean value of equilibrium factor in indoor environment, when annual effective dose of radon exposure was estimated based on radon gas concentration, attention should be paid to choose the quantity value of equilibrium factor and the uncertainty caused by the change of equilibrium factor should be considered.
