OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and resistance of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents commonly used.Antimicrobial agents should be used rationally based on the results of susceptibility testing.METHODS The clinical isolates were identified with W/A-40 or VITEK-32.The results were analyzed by WHONET 5.3 software according to CLSI 2005.RESULTS A total of 2892 clinical isolates were collected in 2007.Gram-negative bacilli accounted for 68.2% and Gram-positive cocci accounted for 31.8%.The top eight pathogens were Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Escherichia coli,Klebsiella spp,Acinetobacter spp,coagulase-negative Staphylococcus,Enterobacter spp,Serratia spp and S.aureus.About 76.4% of S.aureus isolates were MRSA,81.6% of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus isolates were meticillin-resistant.Under 20.0% of Enterobacteriaceae strains were resistant to cefoperazone/sulbactam,imipenem and piperacillin/tazobactam.About 16.3% and 32.5% of P.aeruginosa isolates were resistant to cefoperazone/sulbactam and imipenem.CONCLUSIONS Gram-negative bacilli were dominant isolates in our hospital during 2007.P.aeruginosa is the most frequent pathogenwith severe antibiotic resistance.Enterobacteriaceae are susceptible to cefoperazone/sulbactam and imipenem.

BACKGROUND: Cerebrovascular disease often causes dysfunction of the brain nerve, and nerve cel apoptosis is the important factor of cerebral nerve dysfunction. The excessive expression of c-fos can block the transduction of intracelular signal so that producing some apoptosis-promoting factors, which involve in nerve cel apoptosis process after ischemia injury of brain. Bcl-2 is an inhibited factor. It might to be the key to treat ischemic cerebrovascular disease by inhibiting or reducing the apoptosis of nerve cels after ischemia injury. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of the Total Flavone of Hawthorn Leaf on chronic cerebral ischemia rats. METHODS: A total of 72 healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham surgery group, model group, Total Flavone of Hawthorn Leaf group and ginkgo leaf group. Permanent bilateral carotid artery ligation was used to prepare chronic cerebral ischemia model in the model group, Total Flavone of Hawthorn Leaf group and ginkgo leaf group. Total Flavone of Hawthorn Leaf group and ginkgo leaf group respectively received 140 mg/kg Total Flavone of Hawthorn Leaf and 12.3 mg/kg ginkgo leaf intragastricaly for 36 days from 36 days after model induction. Model group and sham surgery group received 3.5 mL/kg physiological saline intragastricaly. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the model group, the expression of c-fos protein significantly deceased in the Total Flavone of Hawthorn Leaf group (P < 0.01), Bcl-2 expression levels significantly increased (P < 0.01), and Ca2+ content decreased (P < 0.05). Moreover, no significant difference in above indexes was detected between Total Flavone of Hawthorn Leaf group and ginkgo leaf group (P> 0.05). These data indicated that the protective effect of Total Flavone of Hawthorn Leaf on chronic cerebral ischemia was associated with its inhibition of neuronal apoptosis. Its mechanism of anti-apoptosis might be associated with up-regulating expression of Bcl-2, down-regulating expression of c-fos and decreasing Ca2+ content in brain.

Aim To establish a method to evaluate lymphatic drainage of macromolecular tracer in cerebrospinal fluid in rats.Methods Rat cervical lymphatic blockade(CLB)models were established by occlusion of cervical lymphatic tubes and removal of cervical lymphatic nodes.The rats were divided into non CLB(normal controls) and CLB groups.~(125)I-labeled human serum albumin(~(125)I-HSA)was injected into the left lateral cerebral ventricle,and blood samples were collected and ~(125)I-HSA concentrations were detected continually within 24 hours.Concentration-time curve was drawn according to the single compartment model in pharmacokinetics.Parameters of pharmacokinetics such as area under curve(AUC),maximum concentration(C_(max)),transfer rate constant K_a and peak time(T_(max))were derived.The AUC,C_(max),K_a,and T_(max) regarding the lymphatic drainage of ~(125)I-HSA were calculated based on the differences between the two groups.Results AUC,C_(max),K_a of ~(125)I-HSA by lymphatic drainage were 51.97 mg·L~(-1)·h~(-1),2.91 mg·L~(-1),and 0.64 h~(-1),respectively.The proportion of AUC,C_(max),K_a of ~(125)I-HSA by lymphatic drainage to those of drained by both arachnoid granulations and lymphatics was 71.53%,44.02%,58.18%,respectively.T_(max) in CLB group(8.36±0.82 h)was much longer than that in non CLB group(3.57±0.54 h).Conclusions A method to evaluate lymphatic drainage of macromolecular tracer in cerebrospinal fluid in rats is successfully established.The lymphatic drainage pathway plays an important role in eliminating macromolecular substances in cerebrospinal fluid.

Objective To investigate the pathway of lymphatic drainage of proteins from cerebral parenchyma in subarachnoid hemorrhage rat models. Methods Healthy adult male Wistar rats were divided into Saline group, Evans blue-labeled albumin (EBA) group, and SAH + EBA group. SAH models were produced by double injection of autologous arterial blood into cisterna magna. Using a modified microinjection method, EBA was injected into left candate-putamen of the EBA group and EBA + SAH group rats. In Saline control group, saline was injected. After injection, at 12 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days and 5 days, the animals were sacrificed and the fluorescence signals of EBA were imagined and analyzed along the possible lymphatic drainage pathway, e.g. the brain tissue, the wall of common carotid artery, and cervical lymphatic nodes. Results One day after injection, in EBA group, the fluorescence of EBA initially appeared on the left of the brain, the wall of common carotid artery, left lateral cerebral ventricle, and the perivascular spaces of cerebral vessels. The fluorescence signals gradually expanded to the opposite side.Large amount of fluorescence granules accumulated in the outer layer of common carotid artery. Fluorescence was also found in cervical lymphatic nodes. Two days after injection in this group, the density of fluorescencein the brain became weaker while the density of fluorescence in rhinencephalon became stronger. The fluorescence of EBA was found in lymphatic nodes adjacent to abdominal aorta. In SAH + EBA group,reduced amount and velocity of the drainage of EBA from left caudate-putamen to rhinencephalon, cervical lymphatic nodes, and lymphatic nodes adjacent to abdominal aorta were observed. From 12 hours to 5 days after injection, fluorescence intensity of EBA in deep cervical lymphatic nodes in SAH + EBA group(8.9 ±2. 0, 11.9 ± 2. 5, 17.4 ± 3.7, 26.7 ± 4. 5 and 59.0 ± 8. 1 ) were lower than those in EBA group ( 14. 5 ±3.2, 27.5 ±7.4, 60.3 ±12.3, 138.0±12.0 and 108. 1 ±13.4, F=13. 17, 24.04, 66.81, 302.77 and 59.36, P ＜ 0. 01 ). From 2 to 5 days, fluorescence intensity of EBA in lymphatic nodes adjacent to abdominal aorta was also lower in SAH + EBA group( 11.0 ± 1.5, 12. 5 ±2. 8, 23.6 ±3. 2) than those in EBA group(26. 3 ±5.9, 47.5 ±9.6, 41.0 ±9.3; F =38. 17, 72.52, 19.01, P ＜0.01). Conclusion SAH can result in reduced drainage of macromolecular substances, e.g. protein, from the brain via lymphatic pathway.

Objective To analyze the association of elevated carotid intima-media thickness(CIMT)with low-grade albuminuria in a community-based population. Methods A total of 10 375 participants aged 40 years or older were recruited using cluster sampling from Jiading district, Shanghai. Standardized questionnaires were adopted to collect information on health status and lifestyles. Anthropometric measurements including weight, height, and blood pressure, and biochemical tests for blood and urine were performed. CIMT was detected by B-mode ultrasound examinations. 9 523 subjects were included for final analysis. All these subjects were divided into 4 groups according to sex-specific urinary albumin to creatinine ratio ( UACR ) quartiles. CIMT≥upper decile of the population was defined as elevated CIMT and low-grade albuminuria was defined as UACR≥sex-specific upper quartile. The relationship between UACR and CIMT was investigated by multiple logistic regression analysis. Results The prevalence of elevated CIMT in this population aged 40 years or older with albuminuria in normal range was 21. 44%. Comparing to participants without elevated CIMT, those with elevated CIMT showed higher level of UACR (4. 79 vs 4. 51 mg/g, P<0. 01). The metabolic status was deteriorated with the increment of UACR level. The prevalences of elevated CIMT were 18. 99%, 19. 24%, 20. 20%, and 27. 33% from the lowest to highest UACR quartile, respectively(Ptrend<0. 01). After adjusting for some conventional cardiovascular risk factors, multiple logistic regression revealed that compared with the participants in the lowest quartile of UACR, those in the highest quartile had a 1. 25-fold risk of elevated CIMT. Conclusions This study shows that low-grade albuminuria is positively associated with elevated CIMT, independent of conventional cardiovascular risk factors in middle-aged and elderly adults.

Objective To investigate the maternal and fetal outcomes of pregnant women with subclinical hypothyroidism, and clinical observation of thyroxine replacement. Methods From March 2014 to March 2015, the clinical records of 216 women with subclinical hypothyroidism(including 166 cases with thyroxine replacement), and hypothyroidism(n=69)during pregnancy who delivered at our hospital were reviewed. The maternal complications and neonatal outcomes were compared with 406 healthy women who delivered during the same period. Results The age, number of fetus, and morbidity rate of gestational hypertension were without significant differences in those groups. The morbidity of gestational diabetes in subclinical hypothyroidism group and hypothyroidism group were significantly higher than those in control group(13.4%, 17.4% vs 0.2%, P<0.05). The rate of thyroid peroxidase antibody and thyroglobulin antibody positive in subclinical hypothyroidism group and hypothyroidism group were significantly higher than those in control group(26.9%, 23.2% vs 9.9%; 15.7%, 23.2% vs 8.1%, all P<0.05). No matter treated or not treated in subclinical hypothyroidism group, the preterm birth, Apgar score, low birth weight, birth defects, and infant congenital hypothyroidism were without significant differences as compared to the control group(P>0.05). Further compared those between treated and untreated subclinical hypothyroidism, the results were also without significant difference(P>0.05). Conclusions Subclinical hypothyroidism had no significant influence on pregnancy outcomes and perinatal events. Thyroxine replacement in subclinical hypothyroidism pregnant women also had no significant influence on pregnancy outcomes and perinatal events.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of ultrasound-guided single fascia iliaca compartmentblock (FICB) combined with esketamine on postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.Methods:Sixty-two patients of either sex, aged 60-85 yr, with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ, undergoing hip fracture surgery under subarachnoid anesthesia, were divided into 2 groups ( n=31 each) using a random number table method: single FICB group (group FICB) and single FICB combined with esketamine group (group FICB+ E). Ultrasound-guided FICB was performed on the operated side at 30 min before subarachnoid anesthesia. In FICB+ E group, esketamine was intravenously injected as a bolus of 0.3 mg/kg at 5 min before skin incision followed by an infusion of 0.25 mg·kg -1·h -1 until 30 min before the end of procedure. Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia was used for postoperative analgesia, and tramadol 1 mg/kg was given for rescue analgesia. The pressing times of patient-controlled analgesia, the number of rescue analgesia, and consumption of tramadol were recorded within 48 h after operation. The Ramsay sedation score was used to assess the degree of sedation at skin incision, 30 min after the start of surgery, 30 min before the end of surgery, at the end of surgery, and at discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit. Postoperative delirium (POD) occurred within 7 days after surgery was assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method. The serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6, S100β and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on admission to the operating room and at 3 and 7 days after surgery. The occurrence of adverse drug reactions (respiratory depression, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, somnolence, urinary retention) was recorded. Results:Compared with group FICB, the incidence of POD was significantly decreased within 3 days after surgery, the consumption of tramadol, pressing times of patient-controlled analgesia and the number of rescue analgesia were reduced, Ramsay sedation score was increased at each time point, and the serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6, S100β and glial fibrillary acidic protein were decreased after surgery ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the total incidence of POD at 7 days after surgery in group FICB+ B ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Ultrasound-guided single FICB combined with esketamine can provide adequate analgesia and sedation in the perioperative period for elderly patients with hip fractures, reducing the risk of early postoperative (within 3 days) POD.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of esketamine combined with fascia iliaca compartment-subarachnoid block in optimizing anesthesia in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.Methods:Sixty-two American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ elderly patients of either sex, aged 60-85 yr, with body mass index of 18.5-30.0 kg/m 2, were divided into 2 groups ( n=31 each) using a random number table method: fascia iliaca compartment-subarachnoid block group (FS group) and esketamine combined with fascia iliaca compartment-subarachnoid block group (ES group). In FS group, patients underwent ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca compartment block at 30 min before the operation of subarachnoid anesthesia on the surgical side. In ES group, esketamine 0.25 mg/kg was intravenously administered at 5 min before skin incision based on the fascia iliaca compartment-subarachnoid block. Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia was used for postoperative analgesia, and tramadol 1 mg/kg was intravenously given for rescue analgesia when numerical rating scale score > 4. The pressing times of patient-controlled analgesic pump, the number of rescue analgesia and consumption of tramadol were recorded within 48 h after operation. The occurrence of postoperative adverse reactions (respiratory depression, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness, pruritus, illusion, nightmares) was recorded. Results:Compared with FS group, the consumption of postoperative tramadol was significantly decreased, and the pressing times of patient-controlled analgesic pump and the number of rescue analgesia were reduced in ES group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Combination of esketamine with fascia iliaca compartment-subarachnoid block for hip fracture surgery can raise postoperative analgesia and optimize clinical management strategies in elderly patients.

Objective:To study the use of laparoscopic hepatic vein guided anatomic hepatectomy in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods:The clinical and follow-up data of 62 patients who underwent laparoscopic anatomic hepatectomy at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of Southwest Hospital of the Army Medical University from January 2015 to February 2018 and met the inclusion criteria of the study were retrospectively analyzed. The operation procedure as to whether the main hepatic vein was exposed or not was determined. The patients were divided into the hepatic vein-oriented hepatectomy (HVOH) group when the main hepatic vein was exposed, and the traditional anatomic hepatectomy (TAH) group when the main hepatic vein was not shown. The perioperative and follow-up data of the two methods were compared.Results:A total of 31 cases were included in the HVOH group, there were 28 males and 3 females, age ranged from 29.0-70.0 (49.9±11.2) years. A total of 31 cases were included in the TAH group, there were 27 males and 4 females, age ranged from 22.0-73.0 (51.4±12.1) years. There were no significant differences in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, intraoperative conversion to open, and perioperative blood transfusion rates between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative complication was significantly lower in the HVOH group than in the TAH group [9.7% (3/31) vs. 32.2% (10/31)] ( P<0.05), but no serious complications occurred (Clavein Level IV) in this study. The one-year tumor-free survival rate in the HVOH group was significantly higher than that in the TAH group (77.4% vs. 51.6%), ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the 1- and 3-year overall survival rates and tumor-free survival rates between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Laparoscopic hepatic vein-guided anatomic hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma had the potential advantages in reducing the perioperative complication rate, and enhanced the early tumor-free survival rates.
