Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2014;37(30):56-57
Objective To explore the characteristics and drug resistance of pulmonary tuberculosis combined with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infection.Methods The clinical data of 65 patients with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infection were analyzed retrospectively.Results It showed that 65 strains of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia mainly came from sputum sample [75.4%(49/65)] and were highly resistant to many kinds of antimicrobial agents,of which the resistance rate to carbapenems,β-lactames was above 60% and the sensitive rate to moxifloxacin,ethoprin-sulfamethoxazole and ticarcillin/clavulanic was above 70%.Conclusion Clinical practices should pay more attention to the high resistance of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infection,which might result in pulmonary tuberculosis,and prescribe antibiotics rationally according to the drug sensitive test.

Objective To investigate the relationship between choroidal telangiectasia and subfoveal choroidal thickness in the patients with central serous chorioretinopathy.Methods Eighty-four patients (84 eyes) with central serous chorioretinopathy in our hospital from February 2015 to April 2016 were selected,based on the fluorescein angiography the patients were divided into 3 groups:Mild group (leakage at 9-10 minutes after injection,26 cases),moderate group (leakage at 5-8 minutes after injection,37 cases),severe group (leakage at 5 minutes after injection,21 cases).The choroidal capillary dilatation was assessed by OCTA,and subfoveal choroidal thickness in three groups and patients with different foveal choroidal expansion degree were measured by EDI-OCT,and correlation analysis was performed.Results The proportion of severe dilation of choriocapillae in mild group,moderate group,severe group were 7.69%,13.52% and 23.81%,respectively.The subfoveal choroidal thickness was sequentially increased in mild group,moderate group,severe group (P < 0.05).The subfoveal choroidal thickness in patients with mild,moderate and severe dilatation of choroidal capillaries were (306.59 ± 74.18) μm,(367.21 ± 85.04) μm and (416.27 ± 104.56) μm,respectively (P < 0.05).The degree of choroidal telangiectasia in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy had a positive correlation with the thickness of subfoveal choroid (r =0.812,P =0.037).Conclusion The degree of choroidal telangiectasia and subchondral choroidal thickness in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy are significantly increased with the severity of the disease,and there is a positive correlation between them.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the bacteriologic feature and the spectrum of drug resistance in lung cancer patients who got nosocomial nonfermenters bacteria infection,and to conclude the experience and how to prevent and control the nosocomial infection.METHODS A rectrospective analysis of the composition of the pathogens,the feature of drug resistance and the prognosis of 109 lung cancer inpatients with nosocomial infection was made.RESULTS Nosocomial nonfermenters bacteria infections were most happened in hospital lung cancer patients.Main strains included Pseudomonas aeruginosa 55(49.5%),Acinetobacter baumannii 23(20.7%),and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia 8(7.2%).The sensitive rate of P.aeruginosa to imipenem was 100%,but to Cotrimoxazole,the resistant rate was 100%.The sensitive rate was relatively high to ticarcillin,piperacillin and their compounds.The antimicrobial resistance rate of A.baumannii was higher than P.aeruginosa.Stenotrophomonas were resistant to most antibiotics,and the resistance rate to imipenem was 100.0%.CONCLUSIONS The resistance rate of nosocomial nonfermenters bacteria infection is high.The treatment is difficult and the prognosis is bad.The mortality of multiple infection is high.

Objective To investigate the relationship between Trp64Arg mutation in β3-adrenerglc receptor (β3-AR) gene and the incidence of metabolic syndrome (MS). Methods A seven-year follow-up study was conducted in 386 simple obese subjects and 175 normal weight subjects in whom geno-typing of Trp64Arg mutation in β3-AR gene was examined in 2000. Results There were no differences between a Trp64Trp homozygote group and a Trp64Arg heterozygote group of whether obese or normal weight subjects with respect to adiposity, blood pressure, lipid profile, fasting blood glucose and fasting insulin in the baseline. The results of follow-up indicated that the incidence of MS in the Trp64Arg heterozygote group was higher than that in the Trp64Trp homozygote group of obese males (54. 76% vs 40. 85% ,P <0. 05) but not in the group of obese females. The incidences of MS both in the Trp64Trp homozygote group and Trp64Arg heterozygote group were higher in obese males than in obese females (40. 85% vs 18. 27% and 54. 76% vs 21.28% ,all P <0. 01 ) . No significant differences were found in incidences of MS both in the Trp64Trp homozygote group and Trp64Arg heterozygote group of normal weight subjects whether the comparison was made between males and females respectively or between males and females. The overall incidence of MS in the obese subjects were significantly increased than that in the normal weight subjects whether there was genevariant or not(31.30% vs 6. 03% and 42. 75% vs 12. 73%, all P <0. 01 ). Logistic analysis showed thatβ3-AR gene variant was associated with increased incidence of MS in males. Conclusion β3-AR gene Trp64Arg mutation is an independent risk factor for the incidence of MS in males.Conclusion β3-AR gene Trp64Arg mutation is an independent risk factor for the incidence of MS in males.
