Objective To investigate the high risk factors for pneumonia-related bloodstream infection (BSI) caused by Acinetobacter baumannii (AB) in ventilated patients. Methods A retrospective observation was conducted. The data of invasive-ventilated patients underwent AB pneumonia admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Disease from January 2011 to December 2015 were enrolled. The patients were divided into non-AB-BSI group and AB-BSI group. The following factors were evaluated including gender, age, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score at admission of intensive care unit (ICU), clinic pulmonary infection score (CPIS), underlying disease, neutropenia or agranulocytosis, hemoptysis, treatment of steroid or immunosuppressant in recent 3 months, central venous catheter (CVC), parenteral nutrition (PN), combined antibiotic therapy after the diagnose of AB pneumonia, duration of mechanical ventilation and the resistance of AB. The risk factors were analyzed by logistic regression analysis to confirm the independent high risk factors for the pneumonia-related BSI caused by AB in ventilated patients. Results 612 patients were enrolled, 561 patients in non-BSI group, and 51 in BSI group with 5-year BSI incidence of 8.3%. There was no significant difference in gender or age between the two groups. Compared with non-BSI group, the APACHE Ⅱ score (20.8±9.2 vs. 17.3±5.5) and CPIS (7.1±3.9 vs. 5.6±1.6) in BSI group were significantly increased (both P < 0.05). The patients with CPIS > 6 [80.4% (41/51) vs. 28.0% (157/561)], chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases [COPD, 86.3% (44/51) vs. 46.7% (262/561)], diabetes mellitus [DM, 25.5% (13/51) vs. 14.8% (83/561)] in BSI group were more than patients in non-BSI group, the incidence of heart failure [HF, 5.9% (3/51) vs. 23.5% (132/561)] was significantly decreased, and the incidence of hemoptysis [27.4% (14/51) vs. 3.4% (19/561)], therapy of steroid or immunosuppressant [19.6% (10/51) vs. 7.8% (44/561)] and duration of mechanical ventilation > 14 days [80.4% (41/51) vs. 48.5% (272/561)] were significant increased (all P < 0.05); no significant difference was found in other parameters between the two groups, including gender, age, other underlying diseases, neutropenia or agranulocytosis, CVC, PN, combined antibiotic therapy, and resistance of AB. It was showed by logistic regression analysis that CPIS > 6 [odds ratio (OR) = 2.513, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.400-20.439, P = 0.011], history of COPD (OR = 1.921, 95%CI = 0.068-5.603, P = 0.030), the treatment of steroid or immunosuppressant (OR = 2.012, 95%CI = 0.556-16.313, P = 0.021) and hemoptysis (OR = 1.866, 95%CI = 1.114-6.213, P = 0.037) were the independent risk factors for the pneumonia-related BSI caused by AB in ventilated patients. Conclusion CPIS > 6, history of COPD, the therapy of steroid or immunosuppressant and hemoptysis were the independent risk factors for the pneumonia-related BSI caused by AB in ventilated patients.

This study was aimed to explore the resource diversity and microbial inhibition activity of endophytic fungi from medicinal plant Plantago asiatica L. The endophytic fungi were isolated from the root, stem and leaf of the host by tissue inoculation culture and five plant pathogenic fungi and four bacteria strains used as indicating microbes to test microbial inhibition activity by agar plate antagonistic action and modified agar gel diffusion methods. The results indicated that thirteen fungal endophytic strains were isolated from the host. Most of them came from stem, then leaf, and root as the least in number. The isolated strains attribute to five genera, two fam-ilies, and two orders based on morphological characteristics. For the isolated strains, eleven of them were found to have some microbial inhibition activities against one or more indicating fungi, making up 84.6% of the total iso-lates. Six isolated strains had some antimicrobial activities against one or more indicating bacteria, amounting to 46.2% of the total isolates. Three isolated active strains, which are PAEFS001, PAEFS007 and PAEFS008, ex-hibited evident inhibition activities against five kinds of pathogenic fungi used in the trials respectively. The strain of PAEFS001 ascribed to Ozonium sp. Both strains of PAEFS007 and PAEFS008 ascribed to Aspergillus sp. One active strain of PAEFS003 showed evident antibacterial activities to Bacillus subtilis and Staphyloccus aureus, which belonged to Fusidium sp. The endophytic fungi from medicinal plant Plantago asiatica L. have evident an-timicrobial activities. Their inhibition activities against pathogenic fungi have relatively broad spectrum. And their inhibition activities to both Bacillus subtilis and Staphyloccus aureus as G+ are evident and have certain selectivi-ty. It is feasible to find new bioactive compounds associated with endophytic fungi from Plantago asiatica L. Fur-ther research and development of the endophyic fungi will be important for the integrated utilization of the host.

Objective To investigate the effects of different stabilizers, time and temperature before centrifugation on the stability of homocysteine (Hcy) and other related thiols levels involving EDTA-containing whole blood.Methods Blood was drawn from 17 healthy adults and collected into tubes containing EDTA, EDTA plus NaF and EDTA plus 3-deazaadenosine(3DA),then stored on crush ice(0-4 ℃) immediately or at room temperature(25 ℃).Plasma was separated at 0, 3, 6, 24 and 48 hours, respectively.The levels of plasma total Hcy (tHcy), total cysteine (tCys), tatal cysteinylglycine (tCysGly) and tatal glutathione (tGSH) were measured by HPLC.The plasma immediately separated was used as baseline sample. Results In EDTA tubes stored at room temperature, tHcy levels increased by 38.5%, 64.2%, 141.9%, 225.4% for 3, 6, 24, and 48 h, respectively.The levels of tCysGly and tGSH increased by 20.0% and 37.9% within 3 h, however, tCys decreased by 3.5%.The levels of the thiols increase by less than 5% up to 6 h in EDTA tubes stored on crush ice.In EDTA-3DA and EDTA-NaF tubes, no statistical differences were observed in the plasma levels of tHcy, tCys,tCysGly and tGSH compared with their respective baseline values at room temperature for 3 h(EDTA-3DA tubes:F=0.01,0.94,0.09,0.01,all P>0.05;EDTA-NaF tubes:F=0.85,0.04,0.03,0.02,all P>0.05).Conclusions The EDTA-plasma levels of tHcy and other related thiols are time and temperature-dependent. There is a strong need for standardization of blood sample collection and processing in tHcy and other thiols assays. The plasma concentrations of tHcy, tCys, tCysGly and tGSH were stable for 3 h at least in the EDTA-3DA and EDTA-NaF tubes kept at room temperature.
