Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of the common pathogens isolated during the period from 2009 to 2015.Methods All the bacterial strains isolated from pediatric inpatients in Beijing Children's Hospital during the period from 2009 to 2015 were analyzed. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by disk diffusion method and Phoenix 100 Automated Microbiology System. Results were analyzed according to the guidelines of CLSI (2014) using WHONET 5.6 software.Results The total strains were 26630. The most common gram-positive isolates were Streptococcus pneumoniae,Staphylococcusaureusand coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CNS), while the most frequently isolated gram-negative microorganisms were Klebsiella spp.,Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. The prevalence of S. pneumoniae was up to 25.7 % (4101/15973) in all respiratory tract specimens. About 50.2 % of the S. pneumoniae isolates were not susceptible to penicillin. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains was 20.6 % in S. aureus (MRSA) and 87.8 % in coagulase negative Staphylococcus (MRCNS) on average. The prevalence of MRSA increased from 11.1 % in 2009 to 29.8 % in 2015. No S. pneumoniae or staphylococcal strains were found resistant to vancomycin or linezolid. The Enterococcus strains were still highly susceptible to vancomycin and linezolid. Overall 0.3 % of the Enterococcus faecium isolates were resistant to vancomycin. The extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) producing strains accounted for 71.4 % -78.1 % of E. coli and 65.1 % - 76.9 % of K. pneumoniae isolates. The carbapenem-resistant E. coli and K. pneumoniae were reported for the first time in 2010, but in 2014, the strains resistant to carbapenems had increased to more than 7 % in E. coli, and higher than 20 % in K. pneumoniae. In 2015, up to 27.7 % and 25.7 % of P. aeruginosa isolates were resistant to imipenem and meropenem, respectively, and 59.9 % of the A. baumannii isolates were resistant to imipenem and meropenem. Beta-lactamase was positive in 46.3 % of the H. influenzae isolates. Conclusions MRSA and the carbapenem-resistant strains of E. coli,K. pneumoniae and A. baumannii are still on the rise in pediatric inpatients, which poses a serious threat to clinical practice and implies the importance of strengthening infection control.

Objective:To explore the relevance of a new comprehensive respiratory mechanics parameter, elastic power, to the 28-day prognosis of ARDS patients.Methods:Patients with ARDS hospitalized for at least 48 h with invasive mechanical ventilation in five intensive care units in three local hospitals in Lianyungang City from June 2018 to June 2022 were included in the study. Their baseline data and respiratory mechanics parameters were collected. Elastic power, mechanical power, driving pressure and lung compliance are calculated according to the corresponding formulae. The prognostic risk factors of ARDS patients were analysed using COX multi-factor regression, and the predictive value of EP/Cst on the 28-day prognosis of ARDS patients was evaluated based on ROC curve analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival curve.Results:There was no significantly difference in tidal volume and PEEP settings between the patients in the ARDS survivor and death groups ( P> 0.05). However, the differences in respiratory rate, plateau pressure, driving pressure, lung compliance, mechanical work, elastic work, EP/cst and MP/cst between the two groups were significantly different (all P< 0.01). Multifactorial COX regression analysis showed that EP/cst ( HR=1.211, 95% CI:1.091-1.323) and RR ( HR=1.209, 95% CI:1.046-1.339) were strongly associated with a more severe degree of illness and a worse prognosis in ARDS. And the cumulative survival rate at 28 d was significantly lower in the high Cst-EP group than in the low Cst-EP group (50.00% vs. 82.40%, P < 0.01). Conclusions:The new respiratory mechanics parameters EP and EP/Cst can assess the severity of ARDS with a good predictive effect on patient prognosis at 28 days.
