Aim To study gyrA and parC mutations of clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains. Methods MIC values of 55 clinical P.aeruginosa isolates were determined by agar dilution test and 1 sensitive strain and 8 resistant strains were selected with standard sensitive strain ATCC27853 as control, the quinolone determining region (QRDR) of the gyrA and parC genes were amplified by PCR, the lengths of PCR products were 351 bp and 397 bp. The gyrA PCR products(351 bp) were digested with enzyme sacⅡ. The gyrA and parC gene were sequenced. Results In this study, gyrA genes of all resistant strains had an ACC to ATC mutation in codon 83, leading to the amino acid substitution of an isoleucine for a threonine, and three high level resistant strains also showed a GAC to GGC mutation in codon 87, leading to the substitution of a glycine for an aspartic acid. In addition, four resistant strains also had an TCG to TTG mutation in codon 87 of parC gene, leading to the amino acid substitution of a serine for a leucine. The strains with both gyrA and parC mutations were two to sixteen times more resistant than the strains which had only gyrA mutations. At the same time, a silent mutation (CAC to CAT) in codon 132 of gyrA gene and a silent mutation(GCT to GCG) in codon 115 of parC gene occured, which did not lead to amino acid change. Conclusion The mutations of 83 and 87 codons of gyrA and the mutatations of 87 codon of parC gene were related to fluroquinolone resistance, and the mutations of the 83 codon of gyrA gene were more important.

Objective To explore the effect of comprehensive management of cardiac rehabilitation on the quality of life of patients after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). Methods A total of 60 patients with PCI were randomly divided into the rehabilitation group and the control group with 30 cases each by convenience sampling method. The control group received routine treatment and nursing care of postoperative PCI, and the rehabilitation group received cardiac rehabilitation management on the basis of the control group, including training guidance, management of double heart psychological intervention, nutritional intervention diet guidance, evidence-based medicine, and set up system etc. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(HADS) score, 6 minutes walking distance (6MWD), coronary heart disease risk factors and Seattle Angina Score (SAQ score) were observed at 6 months after PCI. Results HADS score anxiety rate, depression rate, anxiety and depressive state at 6 months after PCI was 10.0%(3/30), 10.0%(3/30), 0 respectively in the rehabilitation group, and 33.3%(10/30), 36.7%(11/30), 13.3%(4/30) in the control group respectively, and there was significant difference between 2 groups (χ2=4.504, 5.963, 1.071. all P<0.05). 6MWD was (451 ± 48) m in the rehabilitation group and (402 ± 42) m in the control group, and there was significant difference between 2 groups (t=6.155, P=0.022). Compared two groups of coronary heart disease risk factors control level: there was significant difference in total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin, body mass index, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure(t=-2.927-5.981, P<0.01 or 0.05). SAQ score in physical limitation, angina stability , angina pectoris, treatment satisfaction, disease awareness scores were (73.79 ± 6.04), (80.35 ± 7.63), (75.31 ± 8.11), (80.23 ± 5.44), (76.59 ± 14.29) points in the rehabilitation group, and (53.19 ± 5.13), (65.87 ± 18.85), (64.41 ± 6.31), (70.49 ± 8.01), (45.83 ± 8.65) points in the control group, there were significant differences between 2 groups (t=-21.630-18.959, all P<0.01). Conclusions The comprehensive management of cardiac rehabilitation alleviates the anxiety and depression of patients after PCI, reduces the risk factors of coronary heart disease, and improves the exercise ability and quality of life.
