Objective To compare the resistance of metallo-β-lactamase -producting Pseudomonas aeruginosa between burn ward and other wards, so as to provide basis for reasonable use of antimicrobial agents. Methods BD Phoenix-100 bacteria identification and drug sensitivity analyzer was used to detect Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its susceptibility, and disc synergy method was used for the screening of metallo-v-lactamase -producting Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Results Of 68 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 9 strains (13.2%) were metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) positive. Among the 9metallo-β-lactamase positive strains, 7 strains were from the burn ward and 2 strains from other wards. The resistance rate of the MBL-producing strains to ceftazidime, cefotaxime, imipenem, ciprofloxacin, amikacin, gentamicin, piperacillin and aztreonam was respectively 100.0%, 100. 0%, 88.9%, 66.7%, 88.9%, 100,0%, 100.0%, and 88.9%, obviously higher than that of non-MBL-pro-ducing Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Conclusion The rate of MBL-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa is obviously higher in burn ward than that in other wards. The resistance of MBL-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa is high against commonly used antimicrobial agents. Clinical use of antibiotics should he based on the antimicrobial susceptibility test results.

The landscape of HIV has changed from an incurable disease to be more like a chronic disease as the result of advances in medications; the lifespan of People Living with HIV (PLHIV) has also lengthened, HIV defining diseases are delayed, and many of the complications of HIV prevented with adherence to medications. The stigma and discrimination of HIV remain however. PLHIV need to cope with emotional issues of guilt, shame, and self-blame; social issues of rejection, termination of employment, fear and bad social experiences. The paradigm shift from negative regard of PLHIV to that of empathy, which is a deliberate and conscious attitude to relate to PLHIV as fellow travellers in life, to be able to feel with them rather than against them, has therapeutic effects. Empathy has its processes of active listening, responding with appropriately chosen words to describe feelings of the patients, and reflecting the desire to understand more about the patient’s emotions and social turmoil. The benefit of empathy in counseling are the ability to connect with the patient, to build trust from the patient being counseled, and a more objective perspective of being able to see the patient from his/her perspective rather than from the therapist’s perspective. More importantly empathy is a positive response to emotional and social issues experienced by the patient compared to platitudes like “You will be alright; or “don’t worry”, which negate and minimise the opportunity to have a catharsis.

In this paper, the research work of Cell-broken Pieces of traditional Chinese Medicine was summarized;the preparation technology, quality standard, effectiveness and safety of typical Cell-broken Pieces were introduced;the attribute, connotation and orientation of Cell-broken Pieces were discussed. It can provide reference for the fur-ther research and development of Cell-broken Pieces of traditional Chinese Medicine.

Objective To investigate the possibility of transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) related coronavirus by transfusion of unreliable blood and relevant product. Methods ELISA technique was used to detect the antibodies of SARS associated coronavirus in the plasma from 158 volunteer blood donors, who were medical workers, before the SARS epidemic. The subjects with positive result were place under surveillance. Results There were two positive samples in 158 tested samples. The subjects with positive test result did not have the history of SARS infection. Conclusion There was no epidemic of SARS in the hospital. The transmission pathway of SARS was unknown. It seems that the risk of transmitting SARS by unreliable blood product transfusion is just a theoretical hypothesis. With further investigation of SARS, its transmission pathway will be hopefully made known.

Objective To explore the curative effect of stomatitis spray combined with 3M liquid dressing on degree II red buttocks in infants and summarize key points of nursing care. Methods From April 2012 to June 2016, 64 infants with degree II red buttocks were treated in our department. According to the admission time, the infants were divided into control and experiment groups in equal number. The control group was treated with zinc oxide ointment, and the experiment group with stomatitis spray combined with 3M liquid dressing. The curative effect, total effective rate, and wound healing time were compared after treatment between the groups. Results The curative effect and total effective rate of red buttocks in the experiment group were significantly better than those of the control group (P<0.05). Moreover, the wound healing time in the experiment group was obviously shorter than that of the control (P<0.05). Conclusions Compared to zinc oxide ointment, the stomatitis spray combined with and 3M liquid dressing is more effective in the treatment of severe red buttocks of the infants. Moreover, the latter is advantageous in wound healing time, compliance, treatment, and curative effect, which indicates its potential application in clinic.

Object The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of tea polyphenols on rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) proliferation. Methods Rat aortic VSMCs were cultured and treated with tea polyphenols for 24 h. Cell proliferation was quantified by colormetric assay and definited by MTS/PES. Cell cycle analysis was performed by flow cytometry. Results Compared with the control group, VSMCs growth was significantly inhibited by tea polyphenols (P

Objective To investigate the cause,type,clinical manifestation,diagnosis and treatment of bile duct injury(BDI)during laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC).Methods Data of 26 cases suffering from biliary injury during LC from 1997 to 2007 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Among 26 cases with BDI,5 cases suffered from type Ⅰ BDI,13 cases from typeⅡ,2 cases from typeⅢ,and 6 cases from type Ⅳ.Injuries were diagnosed as BDI intraoperatively in 3 cases,23 BDI cases were diagnosed postoperatively,including 13 cases diagnosed one week after LC,8 cases 20-60 days after LC,2 cases 2 years after LC.Twenty-four cases underwent interventional therapy,with 5 cases cured,19 cases were tideovered to operative treatment after cholangitis and jaundice were under control.Among all BDJ cases,20 cases underwent resection of impaired dile duct and hepatico-jejunostomy. Conclusion BDI is a serious complication of LC,temporary stent graft or bile dranage will help to put jaundice and cholangitis under control so as to buy a time for final definite surgical procedures.

Objective To investigate the value of interventional therapy in bile duct injury (BDI) due to laparoscopie cholecystectomy (LC). Methods Data of 24 BDI patients, who received interventional treatment after LC from June 1997 to May 2007, were retrospectively analyzed. Results According to Liu Yunyi criteria of BDI classification, there were 5 cases of type Ⅰ , 11 cases type Ⅱ , 2 type Ⅲ and 6 type Ⅳ. BDI was found during LC in 2 patients and the operation was switched to open cholecysteetomy, but bile duct infection was experienced 10 months and 2 years after the operation, respectively. BDI was diagnosed postoperatively in 22 patients, in which 13 eases occurred 3-12 days after LC, 7 cases 20-60 days after LC, and 2 cases 2 years after LC. Complete remission was achieved by interventional therapy in 5 patients, the other 19 patients received curative operation after control of cholangitis and jaundice. Among 13 patients who were diagnosed BDI 3-12 days after LC, 6 underwent emergency operation and failed. Of the 7 other patients who received interventional therapy, 3 were cured and the others underwent curative operation after cholangi-tis and jaundice were controlled. Conclusion Application of interventional therapy in BDI after LC can a-chieve successful bile duct support and drainage, and can obtain complete image of bile duct system, which is effective not only in control of cholangitis and jaundice for the safety of the following surgery, but also in cure of BDI.
