OBJECTIVE To investigate the changing pattern of clinical pathogens and the antibiotic resistance.METHODS The statistics of MRSA and MSSA isolated clinically in Hubei Province during from 2002 to 2005 was collected and analyzed.RESULTS The resistance rate of MRSA to various antibiotics was higher than that of MSSA.The resistance rate of MRSA to tetracyclines decreased yearly.CONCLUSIONS Multidrug resistance of MRSA to the most antibiotics is not improving.Vancomycin possesses the strongest activity for MRSA.However,the resistance of MSSA to the most antibiotics is improving.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and characteristics of drug-resistance of Staphylococcus aureus (SAU) causing lower respiratory infection, for rational using of antibiotics in clinical practice. METHODS A retrospective analysis on S. aureus isolates and their drug-resistance characteristics were carried out. These strains were isolated from lower respiratory specimens in clinical laboratory of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from Jan 2007 to Dec 2007. RESULTS Among 94 strains, 69 were meticillin-resistant S. aureus(MRSA), accounting for 73.40%. All MRSA strains were resistant to penicillin G, while sensitive to vancomycin and teicoplanin. Resistant rate to chloramphenicol was 7.24 %. The average resistance rate of MRSA to quinolones, macrolides and aminoglycosides were relatively high (56.52-98.55%). And resistant rate of MRSA was higher than the meticillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) in average level. CONCLUSIONS Hospitals at all levels are proposed to strengthen drug resistance supervising so as to prevent the infection breaks.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of nosocomial infection pathogens in ICU from 2005 to 2008.METHODS Antimicrobial susceptibility test of 850 clinical isolates were carried out by means of K-B method.RESULTS Among 850 isolates,Gram-negative bacilli,Gram-positive cocci and fungi accounted for 68.9%,15.8% and 15.3%,respectively.ESBLs-producing strains accounted for 50% and 55.4% in E.coli and Klebsiella spp.MRS was detected in 82.7% of Staphylococcus.Imipenem and meropenem were the most active agents against strains of Enterobacteriaceae,Acinetobacter spp and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.No VRE or VRS strains were detected.CONCLUSIONS Gram-negative bacilli are the most frequent organisms in ICU.It is necessary to conduct drug resistance supervision of nosocomial infection pathogens in ICU and take measures to control nosocomial infection spread.

Objective To investigate the protein expressions of E-cadherin and ?-,?-catenin in breast cancers and their lymph-node metastatic tumors to evaluate their possible role in breast cancer invasion and metastasis. Methods High sensitive S-P immunohistochemical method was used to detect the protein expressions of E-cadherin and ?-,?-catenin in 60 breast cancers(31cases with lymphatic metastasis) and their lymph-node metastatic tumors. Results The abnormal expression rates of the E-cadherin and ?-,?-catenin were 51 7%, 61 7%, 70% respectively in the 60 cases of breast cancers. The expression of E-cadherin was significantly associated with lymphatic metastasis(P

Objective To evaluate the effect of perioperative intravenous (Ⅳ) iron sucrose therapy on reducing postsurgical blood transfusion rates in elderly patients with hip fractures.Methods From September 2011 to February 2014,200 patients aged≥65 years with hip fractures were enrolled.The iron sucrose group (n=100) received iron sucrose (600 mg,Ⅳ),while the control group (n=100) did not receive iron sucrose.Postsurgical blood transfusion rates,infection rates,mortality and length of hospital stay were evaluated.Results The difference in blood transfusion rates was significant (25.0% vs.41.0%,P<0.05),while differences in infection rates,mortality and length of hospital stay were not significant between the two groups.Conclusions Perioperative Ⅳ iron sucrose can reduce blood transfusion requirements in elderly patients with hip fractures.

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether efflux mechanism is involved in fluoroquinolone-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated in China. METHODS We compared the ciprofloxacin accumulation in clinically isolated K. pneumoniae with or without CCCP by fluorospectrophotometry. Use reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to measure the mRNA expression level of acrAB-tolC efflux gene. RESULTS The accumulation of ciprofloxacin in resistant strains was lower than that in susceptible ones, and it could increase to a high level nearly to the susceptible strains. The mRNA level of efflux gene acrA was higher in resistant strains than in susceptible ones. CONCLUSIONS Efflux mechanism is associated with the resistance to fluroquinolones in K. pneumoniae strains isolated in China and CCCP can inhibit its active efflux mechanism , which provides a sensitive method to detect the active efflux system of K. pneumoniae.

Objective To explore antibiotics resistance profiles and DNA fingerprints of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates resistant to imipenem (IRPA). Methods DNA fingerprints of 56 strains isolated from ICU (intensive care unit) were constructed by ERIC-PCR (enterobacter repetitive intergenic consensus-PCR). MICs (minimal inhibitory concentrations) were determined by agar dilution method.Results 33 genotypes were got from 56 strains by ERIC-PCR. Of 8 frequently used antibiotics, 5 of them showed resistance rate higher than 50%. Conclusion It is high time to pay attention to multi-drug resistance of IRPA. The exist of prevalence of IRPA clone in ICU advise us to control of IRPA in hospital effectively.
