Objective To analyze antibacterial resistance and distribution of Acinetobacter baumanni in clinical departments,in order to provide references for hospital infection control.Methods Clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumanni from January 2012 to July 2014 were collected.Bacterial identification and antibacterial susceptibility tests were carried out by using the VITEK 2 Compact automatic bacterial identification system,and results of resistance of Acinetobacter baumanni were analysed by using the WHONET5.0 software.Results A total of 285 strains of Acinetobacter baumanni were isolated and mainly were isolated from the intensive care unit(ICU)(accounted for 47.0%),most of the infected patients were male,and patients aged 45 years and over ac-counted for 70.5%.The resistance rate of aztreonam against Acinetobacter baumanni(71.9%)was the highest and the lowest was levofloxacin(25.7%).The resistance rates of most of antibacterials tested in this study were approximately 50%,and resistance rates of piperacillin-tazobactam and imipenem was approaching 40%.Conclusion Strains of Acinetobacter baumannii are mainly i-solated from ICU and antibacterial resistance of isolates is serious.Hospitals should strengthen infection control and promote ra-tional use of antibacterials according to results of antibacterial-susceptibility test,so as to reduce antibacterial resistance.

Objective To investigate the level of serum retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) and related factors in chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Methods Fifty-six patients with CHC (CHC group) and 35 healthy volunteers (control group) were selected. Serum RBP4 level was measured by ELISA method.Fasting blood glucose ( FBG ), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol ( TC ), alanine aminotransferase (ALT),γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT) were measured, HCV-RNA level was tested by qualitative polymerase chain reaction(q-PCR). Results There were no significant difference in FBG, TC,TG, γ-GT between two groups (P ＞ 0.05 ). Serum RBP4 level in CHC group [(33.38 ± 6.43 ) mg/L] was higher than that in control group [(26.11 ± 3.35) mg/L](P＜ 0.01),the CHC patients with ALT normal (26 cases) had significantly higher RBP4 level [( 38.96 ± 4.09) mg/L] compared with ALT abnormal [30 cases, ( 28.53 ± 3.43 ) mg/L](P ＜ 0.01 ). ALT level was negative with RBP4 in CHC group (r = -0.6368, P ＜ 0.05 ). Conclusion Serum RBP4 level is significantly associated with CHC and negatively correlated with ALT level,but not associated with FBG, TC,TG, γ-GT and HCV-RNA.

Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of technical modification for laparoscopic repair of giant hiatal hernias.Methods A total of 49 patients with giant hiatal hernia underwent modified laparoscopic repair by dissecting sac, closing hiatal, mesh placement and fundoplication from June 2010 to May 2014.The operation time, hospitalization time, postoperative complications, upper gastrointestinal imaging and improvement of postoperative symptoms were observed.Results The average operation time was (103.6 ±31.7) min(88-173min).The average length of post operation hospitalization was (4.2 ± 1.8) d (range,3-12d).Postoperative complication occurred in 4 patients,including pleural effusion (1 patient),respiratory failure (1 patient), difficulty in swallowing (2 patients)with complication occurrence rate being 8.2％ (4/49).No conversion or death occurred.The average time of follow-up was (28.3 ± 12.7) months (6-50 months) in 49 cases.During the follow-up, main symptoms were relieved and no recurrence was found by barium swallow.Conclusion Technical modification for laparoscopic repair of giant hiatal hernias is safe and effective.

Objective To investigate the occurrence situation and related influencing factors of obesity among children aged 6-17 years old in Chengde City.Methods The random sampling method was adopted to extract 16 811 children from 10 primary and middle schools in urban and rural areas of this city.The physical examinations were carried out.The incidence rates of over weight and obesity in different ages,sexes and areas were calculated.The risk factors for childhood obesity were preliminarily screened through questionnaire.And the Logistic regression analysis was conducted for further analyzing the risk factors for childhood obesity.Results Among 16 811 sampled children,the overweight rate was 13.09％ and the obesity rate was 12.1％.The overweight rate and obesity rate in boys were higher than those in girls;which had no statistically significant difference between urban and rural areas(P＞0.05);the incidence rates of overweight and obesity in adolescence were higher than those in preadolescence.The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that parental overweight,like to drink sugary drinks and watching television for long time might be the risk factors for childhood obesity.Conclusion The overweight rate and obesity rate among children aged 6-17 years old in this city are higher.Reasonable diet,correct life style and increasing exercise can partially reduce the incidence of children obesity.

Objective To investigate the safety and effectiveness of mesh and non-mesh techniques in laparoscopic repair of large hiatal hernias (LRLHH).Methods A retrospective clinical controlled study of mesh and non-mesh techniques in LRLHH form January 2006 to August 2014 was performed.Results A total of 83 and 36 patients were recruited to mesh and non-mesh group respectively.There were no significant differences in operation time,operation bleeding volume,hospitalization time or complications between the two groups.Main symptoms were significantly improved during the postoperative long-term follow-up in both groups.The improvement of dysphagia in mesh group showed no significant difference [22.9％ (19/83) VS 12.0％ (10/83),P=0.066],however,non-mesh group showed significant difference [30.6％ (11/36) VS 5.6％ (2/36),P=0.006].Rate of dysphagia alleviation in non-mesh group was significantly higher than that in mesh group [25.0％ (9/36) VS 10.8％ (9/83),P =0.048].Mesh-related complications of esophageal erosions occurred in 5 patients (6.0％) in mesh group,including esophageal stenosis in 3 patients,esophageal-cardiac stricture in 1 patient.Recurrent hernia occurred in 1 patient (1.2％) in mesh group and 3 patients (8.3％) in non-mesh group (P =0.082).Conclusion LRLHH with mesh should be individualized.The use of mesh in LRLHH reduces the recurrence rate,but may lead to some complications.

OBJECTIVE: The current study was designed to examine the expression of Skp2 gene in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and to investigate the role of Skp2 gene in tumorigenesis and progression of LSCC. METHOD: FQ-PCR method was used to examined the expression of Skp2 gene in 40 LSCC and 10 normal laryngeal mucosa tissues, and relationship between its expression and clinical biological factors of patients with LSCC was analyzed. RESULT: The median copy number of Skp2 mRNA expression in LSCC was 6622.54 copy/microg RNA, the median copy number of Skp2 mRNA expression in normal laryngeal mucosa tissues was 0 copy/microg RNA, there was a very significant difference between them (P < 0.01); The positive rate of Skp2 mRNA expression in LSCC and adjacent normal laryngeal tissue were 50%, 0, respectively (P < 0.01). The median copy number of Skp2 RNA expression in LSCC with cervical lymph node metastasis was 617138.4 copy/microg RNA, the median copy number of Skp2 mRNA expression in LSCC without cervical lymph node metastasis was 0 copy/microg RNA, there was a very significant difference between them (P < 0.05); The positive rate of Skp2 mRNA expression in LSCC with and without cervical lymph node metastasis were 100.00%, 35.48%, respectively (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Skp2 gene might have relation with the cervical lymph node metastasis of LSCC. FQ-PCR is an accurate assay to detecting expression of Skp2 mRNA in patient with LSCC. The level of Skp2 mRNA expression might be a new and more accurate marker, and it can be used to predict cervical lymph node metastasis of LSCC.
