1.Research progress on cardiac injury from breast cancer radiation therapy
China Oncology 2006;0(09):-
Radiation therapy (RT) plays an important role in the multimodality management of patients with breast cancer. Traditional RT techniques increase risk of death from cardiovascular diseases. With the development of new techniques, cardiac injury after RT has already been reduced. This article summarizes the studies on reducing cardiac injury by the development of RT techniques, as well as analyzes of risk factors for cardiac injury.Possible causes will also be discussed.

Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 2006;0(03):-
OBJECTIVE To determine risk factors of crossing infection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in ICU and to evaluate efficiency of related control measures.METHODS Clinical data of all patients hospitalized in ICU during Feb to Nov 2005 were retrospectively analyzed.These clinical data included medical records,course of diseases,types of antibiotics used and their duration,invasive medical procedures,bacteria culture results and so on.Spot circumstance of ward,measures of isolation and sterilization,asepsis conception of staffs,fulfillment of laws to prevent intra-hospital infection were examined.RESULTS Forty six patients were hospitalized in ICU during 10 months.Bacterial culture was performed in all of them.Totally 108 strains of P.aeruginosa were cultured in specimens of 24 patients,among which 83 strains(76.9%) were cultured during May to Aug 2005(21 strains cultured monthly in average).As source of specimens,52 strains were from phlegm,26 strains from suction in trachea,17 strains from wound discharge, and 13 strains from other sources.Medicine sensitivity analysis revealed that most of the P.aeruginosa cultured strains were resistant to common antibiotics,including imipenem-cilastatin and meropenem.Major causes of this epidemic might include invasive medical procedure,abuse of antibiotics,deficiency of ward circumstance,imperfect in fulfillment of measures for infection prevention.CONCLUSIONS Control measures including improving clinical circumstance,insisting asepsis conception of staffs,appropriate use of antibiotics,and stressing microbiological inspection are vital in preventing and controlling epidemic of P.aeruginosa in ICU.

Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 1994;0(04):-
OBJECTIVE To investigate the infection and drug-resistance of Escherichia coli.METHODS Double disk diffusion test and improved three-dimensional test were adopted to test ESBLs and AmpC of 135 E.coli strains obtained from bile cultivation from operations of biliary inpatients in our hospital from 2003 to 2005,and King-Bauer′s was used to test the sensitivity of 14 kinds of common antibiotics.RESULTS The detection rate of ESBLs producing bacteria was 30.4%(41 strains),and that of AmpC producing bacteria was 5.2%(7 strains);drug-sensitivity test indicated,that E.coli was sensitive to meropenem,imipenem,cefoperazone / subactam,ciprofloxacin and amikacin.CONCLUSIONS E.coli is a main bacterium in biliary infection,and the strains producing ESBLs and /or AmpC are resistant to the cephalosporins of third and fourth generation;prematurely and excessively using broad-spectrum antibiotics before operation is the primary cause to increase in enzyme-producing strains.
4.Etiological Characteristics and Risk Factors of Burn Wound Infection
Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 2006;0(08):-
OBJECTIVE To analyze the etiological characteristics and risk factors of burn wound infection to provide scientific basis for preventive measures. METHODS The pathogens and risk factors of wound infection of burn patients were investigated. RESULTS Among 341 burn patients form Jan 2005 to Dec 2007, 257 patients were cultured positively in their wound surface with the total infection rate 86.0%. In the early period of infection, Gram-positive cocci were the main pathogens in preinfection, then Gram-negtive bacilli and fungal infection increased. Most of pathogens were opportunistic. From d4 to d10 after burn was the dangerous period of infection. Infection rate was related to the sizes of burn area. CONCLUSIONS Visiting hospital, debridement and takeing specimens to culture in time, correct antibiotics treatment, sterile environment and aseptic operation are the effective measures to reduce the wound infection.
5.Bacteriological Investigation of Drainage Tube after Modified Radical Mastectomy and Counter measures
Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 2006;0(09):-
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the present condition of bacteriological infection caused by drainage tube after modified radical mastectomy(MRM) and the prevention measure.METHODS Atotal of152 patients with drainage tube after MRM during 2005-2007 were analyzed,bacteria culture of drainage fluid from breast wound or axillary wound were taken in 24 hours after operation.The bacteria or fungi were identified with ATB bacterial analysis apparatus.RESULTS Seventy specimens from 52 patients were positive(positive rate 34.2%).Of 70 strains,40 were Gram-positive cocci,24 were Gram-negative bacilli and the other 6 were fungi.The reasons of infection included subsided immunity defense system,drainage tube application,incorrect aseptic processing or disinfection procedure,and obstruction of drainage tube.CONCLUSIONS The important prevention measures of bacteria infection through drainage tube after MRM include maintenance of aseptic environment in operating room,strict aseptic processing,fluent drainage,and proper indwelling time of drainage tube.
6.Drug Resistance of Burkholderia cepacia:Clinical Characteristics and Current Status
Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 2006;0(09):-
OBJECTIVE To study the clinical characteristics and current status of the drug resistance of Burkholderia cepacia(BCE).METHODS Drug sensitivity test was performed on BCE with K-B method isolated from clinic specimen from 2006 to 2007 and the patients′ data were analyzed.RESULTS The pathogens were mainly isolated from sputum(18 strains,39.1%) and blood(9 strains,19.6%).ICU was the common department(28 strains,60.9%);all strains of BCE were resistant to ampicillin/sulbactam.The resistance rate to 3 kinds of aminoglycosides(amikacin etc),ciprofloxacin,piperacillin and imipenem were 63.0-84.8%.The resistance to sulfamethoxazole compound,ceftazidime,cefepime piperacillin/tazobactam,cefoperazone/sulbactam and meropenem were less than 40.0%.CONCLUSIONS Serious underlying diseases,frequent invasive operation and drug abusement were the main causes of BCE infection.Meropenem,sulfamethoxazole compound,ceftazidime,piperacillin/tazobactam and cefoperazone/sulbactam could be selected to treat BCE infection.
7.Analyzing the Dgug-resistance of Acinetobacter Baumannii in Lower Respiratory Tract Infection
Journal of Medical Research 2006;0(04):-
Objective By analyzing the dgug-resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii got from clinic in recent 3 years to study the therapy method of pan resistant bacteria.Method Bacteria was got from sputum or trachea pipe of patients normally,identified with ATB and test 14 common antibiotic drugs by K-B method.Result All the drug-sensitive test results of 248 bacteria in 3 years show that drug-resistance rate is high(40.3%~89.5%)except for IPM,IMI and sulbactam(11.7%~15.3%),and pan resistant bacteria(resist 4 or more kinds of antibiotic drugs)is 37.1%.Conclusion Acinetobacter baumannii is the main pathogen of lower respiratory tract infection.The high picks out rate and high drug resistance get great trouble to therapy.We need to make a strict standards of asepsis operation,strengthen monitoring the drug resistance and advocate to use antibiotic drugs reasonably,so that we can prevent and control the prevalence of Acinetobacter baumannii.

Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 2006;0(08):-
OBJECTIVE To investigate the genotyping of ?-lactamases and aminoglycoside modifying enzymes on Acinetobacter baumannii isolated in Shaoxing. METHODS Thirty nine strains of A.baumannii were isolated from hospitalized patients,and drug-resistant genes were detected by PCR. RESULTS The detection rates of ?-lactamases coding genes of TEM and OXA-23 groups were 33.3% and 51.3%,The detection rates of aminoglycoside modifying enzymes coding genes of aac(3)-Ⅰ,aac(6′)-Ⅰ and ant(3″)-Ⅰ were 64.1%,64.1% and 74.4%,respectively.The others were not found in all 39 isolates tested. CONCLUSIONS The study showed that it is more serious for A.baumannii carrying ?-lactamases and aminoglycoside modifying enzymes coding genes in Shaoxing.
