Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2010;17(13):1748-1750
Objective To research the association between the prognosis of Acinetobacter baumannii infection and drug resistance among patients in the intensive care unit( ICU). Methods Eighty-four patients with Acine tobacter baumannii infection from February 2003 to April 2009 in Peking University Shenzhen Hospital ICU were retrospectively analyzed and divided into alive group(59 patients) and dead group(25 patients) by using 30-day mortality. The impact of drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii on mortality was assessed by binary logistic regression. Results The mortality of patients with Acinetobacter baumannii infection was related to age, haematological malignancy, the Chanson Comorbidity Index, APACHEII score, multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii ( MDRAB) , carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB ) , septic shock and antimicrobial inappropriate therapy by univariate analysis( P < 0.05). Binary logistic regression revealed that CRAB( OR = 3. 360,95%CI: 1. 563 ~7.223,P< 0.05)and the Charison Comorbidity Index( OR = 1. 633,95% CI: 1. 201 ~2. 221 ,P <0.05) were independent risk factors. Conclusions The prognosis of Acinetobacter baumannii infection was closely correlated with drug resistance. The patients with CRAB infection had a higher mortality.

Objective To investigate the perioperative management and video-assisted thoraco-scopic (VATS) extended thymectomy for myasthenia gravis ( MG ). Methods A total of 102 patients who received extended thymectomy for MG from June 2000 to August 2007 were divided into 2 groups by operative approach: 51 in the VATS group and 51 in the full median sternotomy group. The clinical features, including operation time, operation blood loss, post-operative drainage, inci-dence of crisis, hospital stay, and the 1-year total effective rate after the operation were compared. Complications were treated exactly and cholinesterase inhibitors were applied to control the symptom of MG before the operation. The whole thoracic gland and fat in the anterior mediastinum were removed. Steroid, cholinesterase inhibitors and plasmapheresis were used to prevent and cure masthemic crisis after the operation. Results No patients died in the operation and hospitalization. There was no sig-nificant difference in the operation time [(128.14±34.82) min vs. (130.46±28.71) min] and the 1-year total effective rate after the operation (85.8% vs. 87.2% )in the 2 groups(P>0.05).The operation blood loss, postoperative drainage, incidence of crisis, and postoperative hospital stay in the median sternotomy group were higher or longer than those in the VATS group [(93.77±21.64) mL vs. (45.42±10.96)mL,P<0.05; (174.65±21.64)mL vs. (101.33±28.76) mL,P <0.01;7.84% vs. 1.96%, P<0.05;(14.23±3.17)d vs. (8.37±1.18)d, P<0.05)]. Conclusion VATS extended thymectomy for myasthenia gravis is safe, less invasive and effective. Preoperative preparation and the perioperative managemant can decrease the incidence of crisis. The plasmapheresis is the key of curing masthemic crisis.

Objective To explore the role of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in total hepatic ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)-induced lung injury in rats.Methods This study was divided into 2 sub-projects.(1)36 rats were killed respectively at preischemia and after reperfusion,the lung tissue was then sampled.(2)12 rats were randomly divided into Wortmannin group and model control group. AKT,p-AKT protein expression,apoptotic cells and PCNA protein expression were tested respectively by Western blot,TUNEL and immunohistochemistry analysis.Results(1)Compared with that in preiscemia group,after I/R the apoptotic index (AI)was increased,the p-AKT/AKT ratio and PCNA-positive index showed bidirectional changes,and the histological changes were well identified.(2)p-AKT/AKT ratio showed a positive correlation with PCNA-positive index and a negative correlation with AI.(3)Compared with control group,the p-AKT/AKT ratio and PCNA-positive index were lower,histological changes was more significant and AI was higher in Wortmannin group. Conclusion PI3K/AKT signaling pathway had protective effect on lung injury induced by hepatic I/R,which was potentially mediated by anti-apoptosis and promoting proliferation.

The action of BTHP on a-adrenoceptor was studied in anococcy-geus muscles, vas deferens and cell membrane of cerebral cortex of rats and aortic strips, saphenous vein of rabbit. BTHP produced parallel shifts to the right of dose-response curves for phenylephrine in rat anococcygeus muscle and rabbit aortic strips without change in the maximal responses. Their pA2 values were 5.8 and 5.86 respectively. BTHP was also a competitive antagonist for presynaptic and postsynaptic ?2-adrenoceptors on prostatic portion of rat vas deferens( pA2 against clonidine=5.2 ) and on rabbit saphenous vein ( pA2 against B-HT920=5.3 ) . BTHP decreased in dose-dependent manner 〔8H〕 prazosin and 〔3H〕 clonidine specific binding to ?1- and ?2- adrenoceptors on cell membrane of cerebral cortex in rats with IC50 of4 and 9.5 ?mol/L and with Ki ( apparent dissociation constant ) of 3.5 and 8.1?mol/L respectively, suggeating that BTHP has affinity for both ?1 and ?2- adrenoceptors of rat cerebrance.
