OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence,antibiotic resistance and genotype of the extended-spectrum ?-lactamases(ESBLs)-producing clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae.METHODS A total of 104 isolates of K.pneumoniae were examined for the ESBLs production and the susceptibilities of the bacteria to 15 antimicrobial agents.PCR was performed to detect the genes encoding the ESBLs belonging to SHV and TEM families as well as CTX-M-1 and CTX-M-9 groups.RESULTS The ESBLs-producers of K.pneumoniae were 54.0% in the total of 104 isolates.Almost all of the ESBLs-producing isolates were resistant to the antibiotics commonly used,and only remained susceptible to carbapenems and the combination of cefoperazone with sulbactam.The genes of SHV,CTX-M-1 and TEM groups were detected in the ESBLs-producing isolates by 64.3%,46.4%,and 32.1%,respectively,and 35.7% and 8.9% of ESBLs-producing K.pneumoniae strains carried two and three genes.CONCLUSIONS The clinical isolates of K.pneumoniae in Tianjin Nankai Hospital are shown a high rate of ESBLs-producing and antibiotic resistance.SHV and CTX-M-1 groups of ESBLs are the dominant genotypes in the isolates of ESBLs-producing K.pneumoniae.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic nasopharyngectomy in the management of recurrent nasopharyngeal cancers (NPC) and to identify the prognostic factors.Methods Between september 2010 and october 2016,31 patients who received endoscopic nasopharyngectomy in our hospital for recurrent NPC were retrospectively reviewed.The clinical and pathological features of the patients,such as sex,age,T stage,pathological type,recurrence location,operation time,bleeding volume,perioperative complications,postoperative recurrence time,location and survival were recorded and analyzed,and the prognosis was observed.Results All patients underwent endoscopic resection of nasopharyngeal carcinoma locally,and no 1 cases received external nasal route surgery.All patients underwent successful endoscopic nasopharyngectomy.No patient was transferred to open approach.The mean operative time was (108.55 ± 34.36)min.The average blood loss was (23.05 ± 16.11)rnl.No serious postoperative complications occurred,no surgical deaths,and 1 cases had positive edge.Postoperative follow-up time was 3-82 months.During follow-up,29 cases survired,including that 9 patients survived with disease,1 patient concurrent oropharyngeal carcinoma,1 patient lost and 1 patient died.There were 6 cases of local recurrence,1 cases of liver metastasis and 2 cases of cervical lymph node metastasis after operation,2 patients with recurrent postoperative received endoscopic nasopharyngectomy and no recurrence of postoperative follow-up.One-year overall survival rate,disease-free survival rate and no local recurrence survival rate were 96.67%,80.00% and 86.67% respectively.Five-year disease-free survival rate was 61.80%.The progression free survival time was 2-82 (31.87 ± 23.26) months.Multivariate analysis showed that sex,age,first diagnosed T stage,and tumor necrosis were not the independent prognostic factor for survival in recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.Conclusions Endoscopic nasopharyngectomy is a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation during the perioperative period.Methods:This retrospective study included 14 patients with end-stage heart failure who underwent LVAD implantation in the department of intensive care medicine of Nanjing Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from February 2022 to March 2023, including 12 males and 2 females patients, the mean age was (57.6±9.8)years old. All patients were implanted with Corheart 6 implantable left ventricular assist system, did not use other mechanical assisted circulatory devices. The clinical data of enrolled patients were collected, and the clinical characteristics and prognosis during ICU treatment were analyzed.Results:Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) was the most common primary cause of heart failure. The results of transthoracic echocardiography showed that the left ventricular ejection fraction (0.297±0.074 vs. 0.238±0.064, P=0.031) of patients was significantly increased, while the left ventricular end diastolic diameter[69.0(65.8, 74.3)mm vs. 76.5(72.8, 83.0)mm, P=0.003]and systolic end systolic diameter[61.5(53.7, 65.3)mm vs. 68.3(63.8, 71.9)mm, P=0.005]were significantly decreased post LVAD implantation as compared to before LVAD implantation. Within one week after implantation, there was no significant difference in LVAD rotational speed, flow rate, and pulsation index ( P>0.05). During ICU treatment, dobutamine (13 cases) was the most commonly used vasoactive agent. 9 patients used phosphodiesterase Ⅲ inhibitors for perioperative pulmonary hypertension. Targeted management of volume and pressure indicators was conducted for enrolled patients to prevent postoperative right heart failure and to reduce right heart burden. Within 72 hours after LVAD implantation, the average pulmonary artery pressure of patients was 24 (22, 26) mmHg to 26 (21, 28)mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), while the fluid balance was(-581±778)ml to(-1 209±1 134)ml. All enrolled patients survived to 28 days after LVAD implantation. The length of stay in the ICU was (8.0±1.8) days and the total length of hospital stay was 33 (29, 41)days, while the time of mechanical ventilation was 8 (5, 28)h. Conclusion:LVAD implantation can help improve left ventricular systolic function, prolong survival time so as to serve as an important means of terminal treatment or bridging therapy for heart transplantation of patients with end-stage heart failure. To strengthen the perioperative hemodynamic regulation and maintain the cardiac function of patients with LVAD implantation is the important purposes of ICU postoperative management.
