Objective To understand the clinical characteristics of Acinetobacter baumannii infections in elderly patients in intensive care unit (ICU)and investigate its drug susceptibility. Methods Bacterial identification was carried out by VITEK?32 automatic micro?analyzer(Bio?Merieux Company of French). Data processing was performed with WHONET5.6 software. Results Totally 259 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii were isolated from 220 infected elderly patients. The detection rate of Acinetobacter baumannii was 71.43%(185 strains),13.13%(34 strains), 6.18%(16 strains )and 9.26%(24 strains)from sputum,drainage fluid,blood and other specimens,respectively . Drug resistance of Acinetobacter baumanniito antibiotics was relatively high. Resistance to tigecycline of Acinetobacterbaumanniistrains was the lowest(0%?23.38%)while the sus?ceptibility was the highest(70.13%?80.85%)in all kinds of antibiotics in this study. Conclusion Acinetobacter baumannii varied in drug resis?tance to different antibiotics. It is necessary to choose susceptible antibiotics for clinical anti?infection treatment on the basis of in?vitro antibiotics sus?ceptibility testing for isolated strains from local regions.

International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2017;38(20):2811-2812,2815
Objective To analyze the clinical value of serum and ascites tumor markers in the diagnosis of benign and malignant ascites ,and to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment of ascites .Methods A total of 168 patients with ascites in Third Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning University of Chinese Medicine from November 2015 to June 2016 were selected .All patients were collected abdominal paracentesis ascites ,analysis of ascites tumor markers .Vein blood sample were collected ,centrifuged up-per serum and detected tumor markers including CA153 ,BXTM and CEA ,all patients underwent pathological test for diagnosis of benign and malignant ascites .The normal distribution method was used to determine the standard of judging malignant ascites and serum ,with the pathological diagnosis as the gold standard ,the four grid diagnosis table was used to calculate the sensitivity and specificity of different combination of ascites tumor markers and serum tumor markers in diagnosis of benign and malignant ascites . Results Among 168 cases ,56 cases were diagnosed with malignant ascites ,112 cases with benign ascites by pathological test .Com-bined detection results of three tumor markers in ascites :57 cases were malignant ,111 were benign .Combined detection results of three tumor markers in serum :64 cases were malignant ,104 cases were benign .The sensitivity and specificity of three tumor mark-ers in ascites were 85 .71% and 91 .96% respectively ,which were higher than 82 .41% and 83 .93% of the three tumor markers in serum .Conclusion The sensitivity and specificity of three tumor markers in ascites for diagnosis of benign and malignant ascites were superior ,which could be used as an important auxiliary means for diagnosis on the overall condition of patients with ascites , and provides an important reference for the subsequent selection other inspection methods .

International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2018;39(12):1467-1469
Objective To investigate the value of combined detection of alpha fetoprotein (AFP) ,gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT)and Golgi glycoprotein (GP73)in the diagnosis of primary hepatocellular carcino-ma.Methods 109 cases of primary liver cancer treated in the hospital from June 2015 to June 2017 were en-rolled in the study as primary liver cancer group ,76 cases of liver cirrhosis were enrolled in the study as liver cirrhosis group and 70 cases of healthy people who underwent healthy assessment were enrolled in the study as control group.The peripheral venous blood in each group was extracted fasting in the morning ,and the ser-um was separated.The levels of GP73 were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.The level of AFP was measured by chemiluminescent immunoassay ,and the level of GGT was measured by rate method. Results The serum levels of AFP ,GGT and GP73 in the primary liver cancer group were higher than those in the liver cirrhosis group and the control group ,and the serum levels of AFP ,GGT and GP73 in the liver cir-rhosis group were higher than those in the control group ,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The specificity and the sensitivity of the combined detection of AFP ,GGT and GP73 were higher than those of single detection of AFP ,GGT ,and GP73.Conclusion The combined detection of AFP ,GGT and GP73 has important value in the diagnosis of early primary liver cancer ,and has relatively high sensitivity and specificity ,which is worthy of further clinical study.

Hepatotoxicity is a common side effect for patients treated with gefitinib, but the related pathogenesis is unclear and lacks effective predictor and management strategies. A multi-omics approach integrating pharmacometabolomics, pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenomics was employed in non-small cell lung cancer patients to identify the effective predictor for gefitinib-induced hepatotoxicity and explore optional therapy substitution. Here, we found that patients with rs4946935 AA, located in Forkhead Box O3 (FOXO3) which is a well-known autophagic regulator, had a higher risk of hepatotoxicity than those with the GA or GG variant (OR = 18.020, 95%CI = 2.473 to 459.1784, P = 0.018) in a gefitinib-concentration dependent pattern. Furthermore, functional experiments identified that rs4946935_A impaired the expression of FOXO3 by inhibiting the promotor activity, increasing the threshold of autophagy initiation and inhibiting the autophagic activity which contributed to gefitinib-induced liver injury. In contrast, erlotinib-induced liver injury was independent on the variant and expression levels of FOXO3. This study reveals that FOXO3 mutation, leading to autophagic imbalance, plays important role in gefitinib-induced hepatotoxicity, especially for patients with high concentration of gefitinib. In conclusion, FOXO3 mutation is an effective predictor and erlotinib might be an appropriately and well-tolerated treatment option for patients carrying rs4946935 AA.
