Objective To observe the susceptibility test result in vitro of the combination of two drugs to carbapenem-resistant Enter-obacteriaceae(CRE)for screening the effective anti-infective therapy.Methods A total of 60 CRE strains which were isolated from the specimens from the clinic of Qingdao Eighth People's Hospital from January 2023 to December 2023.Carbapenem enzyme type was detected by colloidal gold immunochromatography.The minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC)was determined by micro broth dilution method.Ceftazidime/avibactam(CZA)combined with aztreonam(ATM),COL combined with tigecycline(TGC),meropenem(MEM),cefoperazone/sulbactam(SCF),amikacin(AK)and levofloxacin(LEV),TGC combined with MEM,SCF and AK,MEM combined with SCF and ertapenem(ETP)were performed by the checkerboard dilution method respectively.Fractional inhibitory con-centration(FIC)index was used to determine the combined effects.Results Carbapenem enzyme was detected in all the 60 CRE strains,including 49 Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases(KPC)-type,10 New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase(NDM)-type and 1 Imi-penem enzyme(IMP)-type.The MICs of CZA to 49 KPC-producing strains were ≤8 mg/L,showing all sensitive,and to 11 NDM-and IMP-producing strains were＞128 mg/L,showing all resistant.The synergy rate of CZA was 100％after combining with ATM.MEM combined with SCF had the highest synergy rate of 63.4％,and the sum of synergistic rate and addition rate was 96.7％.The syn-ergistic rate and additive rate of TGC combined with AK were the lowest,which was 31.7％.Among KPC and NDM enzyme types strains,the sum of synergy rate and addition rate of MEM combined with SCF were the highest,which were 100.0％and 80.0％respec-tively.The sum of synergy rate and addition rate of COL combined with LEV were the lowest,which were 32.6％and 30.0％.None of the 11 combination regimens showed antagonistic effect.The MICrange,MIC50 and MIC90 of combination regimens for CRE strains were decreased to some extent compared with those of each single drug.Conclusion CZA alone or in combination with ATM were effective for CRE strains.The MEM combined with SCF had the highest synergy rate and addition rate,which could provide reference for clinical experience medication.

Objective:To explore the pain perception and cognition of children with malignant tumor and their parents during the disease treatment.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 179 children with malignant tumors and their 179 parents who were admitted to the day ward of Hematology and Oncology Center of Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University from June 2017 to February 2019 were selected as the research objects. The children and their parents were surveyed by using the self-developed Pain Questionnaire for Children with Malignant Tumor and the Pain Questionnaire for Parents of Children with Malignant Tumor. A total of 179 questionnaires were distributed, 179 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the effective recovery rate was 100.0%.Results:The incidence of pain during treatment in 179 parents and 179 children was 100.0% (179/179) and 98.3% (176/179) , respectively. The average scores of 179 parents and 179 children who considered the most severe pain during disease treatment were respectively (5.82±2.30) and (5.41±2.09) , and the average pain scores were (4.04±1.90) and (3.95±1.66) , respectively. There were statistically significant differences in pain perception between children and their parents during lumbar puncture/thecal injection, bone puncture, PICC catheter placement, indwelling needle puncture and venous blood collection ( P<0.05) . A total of 77.1% (138/179) of parents and 65.4% (117/179) of children had concerns about the use of analgesics, respectively. Conclusions:There is a high consistency between the severity of pain experienced by parents and the children's feelings during treatment. However, the parents feel that the unbearable treatment-related pain during the treatment of the disease is higher than that of children, and they are more passive than children in the attitude of receiving analgesics. Medical staff can listen to their parents' opinions during pain assessment, pay attention to education of parents before treatment-related operations, take measures to reduce or even avoid the occurrence of treatment-related pain and strengthen the training of pain relief measures.

INTRODUCTIONStruma ovarii represents about 1.0% of all ovarian tumours. While management involves surgery, there is a paucity of data regarding the extent and approach of surgery, and postoperative management. This study aimed to delineate the management of struma ovarii, its associated complications, and postoperative follow-up and investigations.

METHODSWe retrospectively reviewed cases of benign struma ovarii treated at KK Women's and Children's Hospital, Singapore, between January 2000 and May 2011.

RESULTSA total of 68 patients underwent surgical removal of ovarian cyst or mass (24 cystectomy, 20 salpingo-oopherectomy and 24 total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy). Of the 68 surgeries, 39 (57.4%) included intraoperative frozen section sampling or procedures for staging of ovarian malignancy. The majority (73.5%) of surgeries were laparotomies. Histology revealed benign struma ovarii in all (98.5%) but one patient. Only 7 (10.3%) patients had postoperative complications - 3 wound-related, 2 thyroid-related, 1 incisional hernia and 1 nonspecific. The mean length of hospital stay was 4.2 days. During follow-up, 45 (66.2%) patients required no additional investigations. The most common investigation done was ultrasonography (n = 18, 26.5%). While no recurrences were diagnosed histologically, two patients were subsequently found to have complex/dermoid ovarian cysts on the ipsilateral side of the previous struma ovarii on ultrasonography.

CONCLUSIONSimple surgery is recommended for patients with struma ovarii, especially if they have fertility potential. Laparoscopic surgery is the recommended approach due to its shorter recovery time and lower morbidity. Most patients do not require extended periods of follow-up or postoperative investigations.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dobutamine or milrinone on intraventricular syn-chronization in the patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement with cardiopulmonary bypass ( CPB). Methods Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients of both sexes, aged 40-75 yr, of New York Heart AssociationⅡorⅢ, scheduled for elective cardiac valve replacement with CPB, were divided into 3 groups (n＝20 each) using a random number table: control group ( group C), dobutamine group ( group D) and milrinone group ( group M). Dobutamine 4 μg·kg-1·min-1was intravenously infused for 60 min starting from 15 min after termination of CPB in group D. Milrinone 0. 4 μg·kg-1·min-1was intravenously infused for 60 min starting from 15 min after termination of CPB in group M. The equal volume of normal saline was given instead in group C. The parameters of heart function were monitored using transesophageal echocardiography. After induction of anesthesia and before splitting the sternum (T0), at 15 min after termination of CPB (T1), and at 30 and 60 min of dobutamine, milri-none or normal saline infusion (T2, average value at two time points), the parameters of intraventricular synchronization were calculated with QLAB software (9. 1 version): standard deviation of time to peak sys-tolic velocity of the left ventricular longitudinal strain 7 segments (LVSDt-L), standard deviation of time to peak systolic velocity of the right ventricular longitudinal strain 7 segments (RVSDt), standard deviation of time to peak systolic velocity of the left ventricular circumferential strain 6 segments (LVSDt-C). Results Compared with group C, LVSDt-C, LVSDt-L and RVSDt were significantly decreased at T2in group D (P＜0. 05), and no significant change was found in the indices mentioned above at each time point in group M (P＞0. 05). RVSDt was significantly higher at T2in group M than in group D ( P＜0. 05). Compared with the baseline at T0, LVSDt-L was significantly increased at T2in group C, and RVSDt was significantly in-creased at T2in group M ( P＜0. 05). Conclusion Intravenously infusing dobutamine after CPB can im-prove the ventricular synchronization, however, intravenously infusing milrinone may increase the right ventricular asynchronization in the patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement.

Objective To evaluate the changes of left ventricular hemodynamics and systolic function in patients with apical aneurysm after percutaneous ventricular restoration ( PVR) by echocardiography . Methods Fifty patients with apical aneurysm were divided into PVR group ( 25 cases) and conservative treatment group ( control group ,25 cases ) . Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography ( 2D-TTE ) combined with real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography( RT-3DTEE) were applied for all the subjects in PVR group on preoperative ,one week after operaction ,three months after operaction and in control group on initial stage of prevent ventricular remodeling therapy ,one week after therapy ,three months after therapy to obtain left ventricular end-diastolic diameter( LVEDD) ,left ventricular end-systolic diameter( LVSDD) ,left ventricular end-diastolic volume( EDV ) ,end-systolic volume( ESV ) ,left ventricular ejection fraction( LVEF) ,left ventricular fractional shortening ( LVFS ) ,body surface area ( BSA ) ,stroke volume( SV) ,stroke volume index ( SVI) ,cardiac output ( CO ) ,cardiac output index ( CI) . Results There were significant differences in all parameters( P < 0 .05) especially in LVEF and SVI( P < 0 .01) between PVR group and control group in the following three months after operaction ,while there was no significant difference of the following one week after operaction( P > 0 .05) .Compared with preoperative ,there was no difference in all parameters in the following one week after operaction ( P > 0 .05) ,there was significant increase in SV and significant reduce in LVEDD and EDV ( P < 0 .01) between preoperative and in the following three months after operaction ,while there was no significant difference between preoperative and in the following one week after operaction ( P > 0 .05 ) .For the control group there was no significant difference between initial stage of prevevt ventricular remodeling therapy and in the following one week or three months after operaction .Conclusions PVR has a definite effect on left ventricular hemodynamics and systolic function in patients with apical aneurysm in the short term ,while 2D-TTE and RT-3DTEE provides a reliable basis for clinical to evaluate the effect of the PVR .

Objective:To assess the changes of left ventricular systolic function and global synchronization and myocardial work in patients with left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) by two-dimensional multi-layered speckle tracking imaging.Methods:Forty-two patients with Ⅱ degree Ⅱ type or Ⅲ degree atrioventricular block (AVB) in the Cardiovascular Hospital of Xiamen University from April to December 2019 were selected as pacing group, which were further divided into two groups according to different pacemaker modes: twenty patients with right ventricular septal pacing (RVSP), twenty-two patients with LBBP, and twenty patients with normal ECG and cardiac structure were enrolled as control group. Echocardiography of pacing group and control group was performed and analyzed. The left ventricular subendocardial longitudinal strain peak(LSendo), the middle layer myocardial longitudinal strain peak(LSmid), subepicardial longitudinal strain peak(LSepi), global myocardial longitudinal strain peak(GLS), peak strain dispersion (PSD), global work index (GWI), global constructive work (GCW), global wasted work (GWW) and global work efficiency (GWE) were acquired. The differences among the three groups were analyzed and the high difference indexes were screened by statistical modeling.Results:LSendo in three groups had no difference ( P>0.05). LSmid, LSepi, GLS in the control group, LBBP group and RVSP groups were decreased gradually ( P<0.05). GLS in LBBP group was higher than in RVSP group ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the increases of QRS and PSD in LBBP group were not statistically significant ( P>0.05), while the decreases of QRS and PSD in LBBP group were statistically significant compared with the RVSP group ( P<0.05). The values of GCW among three groups had no statistical significance ( P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the decrease of GWI in LBBP group was not statistically significant ( P>0.05), while the increase of GWW and the decrease of GWE were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Compared with the RVSP group, the increases of GWI and GWE and the decrease of GWW in LBBP group were statistically significant ( P<0.05). QRS, LSendo, GLS, LSmid, left ventricular apex rotation to basal rotation peak time(ApexBase period) were the indexes with significant difference among LBBP and RVSP groups and all index characteristics showed better in LBBP than RVSP group. Conclusions:Two-dimensional multi-layered speckle tracking imaging can be used to evaluate the effect of LBBP on left ventricular systolic function and global synchronization and myocardial work. LBBP longitudinal mechanical synchronization is better than right ventricular septal pacing by improving the peak global myocardial longitudinal strain and myocardial work after pacemaker.
