BACKGROUND: Neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopahty(NHIE) is a common neonatal disease, which could cause cerebral palsy, inferior intelligence and convulsion. At present, usual examinations for this disease are CT.MRI and single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT), etc.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the character of SPECT image of NHIE, and compared with CT and MRI as well to provide a theoretical gist for function surveillance and early intervention of NHIE.DESIGN: An observatory comparative study based on NHIE patients and normal neouates as control.SETTING: Department of nuclear medicine in a medical university hospital.PARTICIPANTS: Thirty neonates hospitalized in the Department of Pediatrics, Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College between September 1998 and October 2000 were selected as observation group with 23 males and 7 females. Another 10 normal neonates including 7 males and 3 females were randomly selected from same period into control group.METHODS: SPECT brain blood perfusion was conducted in the subjects of two groups and the results were compared with that of CT and MRI.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① comparison of SPECT brain blood image features between NHIE and normal neonates; ② comparison of SPECT images and CT, MRI results. RESULTS: In 22 NHIE cases who received SPECT, CT and MRI simultaneously, mild group had 7 cases, and positive cases of SPECT, CT or MRI was 7, 3 or 5; moderate group had 10 cases, and positive cases of three methods was 10, 8 or 9; severe group had 5 cases, the all of them were positive in all three examinations. The total positive detectable rate of SPECT, CT or MRI was 100, 72.73% or 86. 36%. There was no significant difference of sensitivity between SPECT and MRI in mild group, while there was significant difference between SPECT and CT(x2 = 3.95, P < 0.05);there was no significant difference among three methods in either moderate group or severe group(x2 =0. 83, P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: SPECT brain blood perfusion image is a quite sensitive method for the surveillance of NHIE, which can provide imageological reference for the evaluation of its prognosis and early intervention.

Objective To investigate jugular vein morphological changes with three dimension phase contrast magnetic resonance venography(3D PC MRV),and to explore hemodynamic features using MR phase contrast cine (MR PC cine).Methods Sixty-five healthy volunteers performed 3D PC MRV and MR PC-cine sannings.MRV ranged from torcular herophili to brachiocephalic veins, and the raw data of PC-cine was acquired at cervical 2-3(C2-C3)level perpendicular to the Jugular veins(JVs)with the maximum encoding velocity of 50 cm/sec.Jugular vein showing absent or tip shape(cross-sectional area less than 12.5 mm2 )was considered abnormal,and flat,crescent,oval,round shapes were considered normal.Data of PC-cine was processed by computer to evaluate the hemodynamic features.Results Nine (13.85%)of 65 cases were abnormal that unilateral jugular vein showing needle-pointed narrow or absent,and 8 cases on the left,and one case on the right;Weak correlation was found between jugular veins pattern and the age.The right sided values in volunteers were higher than that of the left side.Conclusion The morphology and hemodynamics of jugular veins in volunteers showed significant difference between sides,and weak correlation is found between the morphology and aging.

OBJECTIVE To investigate characters of molecular epidemiology of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) outbreak strains in an emergency intensive care unit(EICU),to follow-up the possible sources,understand transmission for infection,and determine preventive strategies.METHODS Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis(PFGE) was used to analyze the homology of MRSA strains,isolated from clinical patients′ infection sites and environment,and carried by patients and healthcare workers in EICU of our hospital in December,2004.RESULTS Six of 17 patients were infected by MRSA,and 7 strains were isolated((including) 2 strains from different sites of the same patient).Surveillance cultures of ward′s environments,(patients)′ nares and healthcare workers′ nares and hands were performed in the outbreak period.Five MRSA strains were isolated,including a strain from nares of a patient,a strain from a table-board of a procedure room,a strain from hand of a nurse,a strain from a bed bar,and a strain from ward′s air.PFGE typing of the 12 MRSA strains showed that all 7 strains isolated from patients′ infection sites and two strains from nares of a patient and hand of a nurse were of type A.Strains from a procedure room,bed bar and air were of types B,C and D,respectively.CONCLUSIONS MRSA′s source and its transmission route are elucidated by genotyping.MRSA appears to come from a patient′s nares and has been transferred in ward by hand of healthcare workers.

OBJECTIVE To review and analyze the change in the MICs of vancomycin,teicoplanin and linezolid in meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) strains isolated in our hospital from 2003 to 2007. METHODS The MICs of vancomycin,teicoplanin and linezolid were tested by Etest method on a sample of randomly selected MRSA strains. RESULTS The incidences of MRSA increased from 52.2% in 2003 to 74.5% in 2007.MIC of vancomycin increased from 1.85 ?g/ml in 2003 to 2.15 ?g/ml in 2007,and teicoplanin MIC geometric mean increased even more markedly from 1.28 ?g/ml in 2003 to 2.07 ?g/ml in 2007.The linezolid MIC remained almost unchanged. CONCLUSIONS The incidences of MRSA were increasing from 2003 to 2007.There is a upward trend in MIC of glycopeptide over the years,in which the increase for teicoplanin is higher than others two.

Objective To investigate mupiroein resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (SAU) and the resistance to commonly used antibiotics in mupirocin-resistant strains. Methods Four hundred and ninety clinically isolated SAU strains froin January 2005 to May 2007 in the First Affiliated Hospital,Wenzhou Medical College were screened by mupirocin(5μg)disc diffusion method.Minimum inhibition concentration(MIC)and the amplification of mupA gene were performed to determine the resistance to mupirocin.Resistance to cefoxitin,gentamycin, levofloxacin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, rifampin, erythromycin, clindamycin, tetracycline and vancomycin in mupirocin-resistant strains was detected by disc diffusion method, and the amplification of mecA gene was performed to confirm the methieillin resistance among mupiroein-resistant strains.Results Twenty-seven mupirocin-resistant strains were obtained,in which 22(81.5%)were hish-level mupirocin resistant(MuH)and the rest were low-level mupirocin resistant(MuL).Among 27 mupirocin-resistant strains,24 were methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)in which 21 were MuH and 3 were MuL strains.Drug sensitivity tests showed that the resistance to gentamycin,levofloxacin,trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole,rifampin,erythromycin,elindamycin and tetracycline were hish among MuH and MuL strains,and most of these strains were multi-drug resistant.All strains were susceptible to vaneomycin.Conclusions Most of the clinical emerged mupirocin-resistant SAU strains are MuH and show hish resistance to commonly used antibiotics.Therefore,detection and drug sensitivity test of mupirocin-resistant strains should be strengthened in clinic practice in order to prevent it from dissemination.

AIM: To investigate the dose and time-effect relationship of 7 antimicrobial agents in experimental treatment of vibrio vulnificus infection in mice. METHODS: Vibrio vulnificus ( 6.0?10 11 CFU?L -1) was introduced intraperitoneally into the right abdominal cavity. After 1 h, 7 antimicrobial agents were given intraperitoneally using 5 dose levels respectively, and (were given intraperitoneally) using human therapeutic dose after 0.5, 1, 2, 3 h of infection, respectively. 7 antimicrobial agents were imipenem lcilastatin, chloramphenicol, doxycycline hydrochloride, netilmicin sulfate, cefoperazone sodium, piperacillin sodium, and levofloxacin lactate. The numbers of survival mice and the supermicrostructure change of organs were observed. RESULTS: With high dose of the seven agents, blood culture showed negative, and organ supermicrostructure injure recovered. 7 antimicrobial agents produced satisfactory therapeutic effect against experimental vibrio vulnificus infection using human therapeutic dose after 0.5~1 h of infection. Chloramphenicol, netilmicin sulfate, cefoperazone sodium and levofloxacin lactate had the better therapeutic effect after 2 h of infection, and weak effect after 3 h. Imipenem showed a weak effect. CONCLUSION: The treatments with these 7 antimicrobial agents early can obtain satisfactory therapeutic effect against experimental vibrio vulnificus infection in mice.
