Objective To investigate the antimicrobial resistance and genotype distribution of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) of staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) isolated from children hospitalized at Pediatric People's Hospital of Zhongjiang County.Methods Seventy-seven strains of S.aureus were collected by nasopharyngeal swabs at the Pediatric Department of People's Hospital of Zhongjiang County from January to December 2015.Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-susceptible staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) were identified by cefoxitin disc diffusion and detection of mecA method.The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of antibiotics were determined by E-test method.SCCmec typing on MRSA strains was performed by using multiplex PCR.Results MRSA accounted for 54.5％ (42 strains) strains of 77 strains.All MRSA strains were resistant to Penicillin,and the rates of antibiotic resistance to Cefuroxime,Ceftriaxone,Erythromycin were 78.6％,95.2％ and 97.6％,respectively.The rates of antibiotic resistance of 35 MSSA to Penicillin and Erythromycin were 97.1％ and 62.9％,and they were also sensitive to other antibiotics.In 42 strains of MRSA,SCCmec type Ⅳa was the predominant type (27 strains,64.3 ％),which was followed by type Ⅳ g and Ⅴ (each 5 strains,11.9％),type Ⅳ c and Ⅳh (each 1strain,2.4％).Non-susceptibility rate of SCCmec Ⅳ to cefuroxime was significantly higher than that of other SCCmec types (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions All strains from children hospitalized in People's Hospital of Zhongjiang County are often resistant to Penicillin and Erythromycin.The proportion of MRSA isolated from hospitalized children was high.SCCmec type Ⅳa is the main genotype of MRSA.

Objective To identify the prevalence and etiology of kidney disease and the related risk factors in type 2 diabetic patients in rural Shanghai.Methods A cross-sectional study in type 2 diabetic patients was conducted in a community of Shanghai.Questionnaire,clinical examination and laboratory tests were completed to collect the information about sociodemographic and healthcare characteristics.Results A total of 1421 eligible patients with complete information were screened from 1487 type 2 diabetic patients between November 2008 and March 2009.Of them,40.75％ were men,59.25％ were women,aged 37-86 (61.33 ± 9.65 ) years old,with diabetic duration of 0.25-43.92 (7.85 ± 6.34) years.Among them,43.42％ had diabetic retinopathy,21.18％ had neuropathy; 69.95％ met the screening definition for hypertension,76.07％ for hyperlipidemia,15.55％ for hyperuricemia and 23.65％ for cardiovascular disease.The control rates of fasting blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin,blood pressure and serum cholesterol were 57.71％,33.99％,14.22％ and 2.46％,respectively.The prevalence of kidney disease,diabetic nephropathy and non-diabetic renal disease was 41.31％,18.51％ and 13.44％,respectively; and 9.36％ were diagnosed as renal insufficiency of unknown reasons.Age,diabetic duration,hyperuricemia,diabetic retinopathy and poor control of blood pressure were independently associated with kidney disease;age and poor control of blood pressure were independently associated with diabetic nephropathy; age and hyperuricemia were independent risk factors of renal insufficiency in patients with diabetic nephropathy.Conclusions Although the diabetic duration of these subjects is relatively short,the prevalence of complications including diabetic nephropathy is high.The high prevalence of non-diabetic renal disease shows the importance of further screening and diagnoses for prevention.Strict control of blood glucose,blood pressure,serum cholesterol and serum uric acid are key points of cutting down the prevalence of diabetic nephropathy and chronic kidney disease.
