International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2014;(20):2769-2770,2772
Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and resistance to commonly used antibacterial drugs in the intensive care unit(ICU)patients with hospital-acquired Burkholderia cepacia infection in order to provide the basis for clinical rational treatment.Methods The drug resistance situation in 32 strains of Burkholderia cepacia isolated from the bacterial culture speci-mens submitted by ICU of our hospital from January 2011 to December 2012 was performed the retrospective analysis.Results In the detection sites,the infection was mainly distributed in the lower respiratory tract (62.5%),followed by deep venous catheter (12.5%);the drug susceptibility test revealed that 32 strains of Burkholderia cepacia showed the natural resistance to multiple antibacterial drugs,but which were still sensitive to minocycline,chloromycetin,meropenem,ceftazidime,cefoperazone/sulbactam, these drugs could be used as the first choice of drugs for treating Burkholderia cepacia infection.Conclusion The drug resistance phenomenon of Burkholderia cepacia is very serious in the ICU patients.Clinic should pay great concern to the infections caused by multi-drug resistant Burkholderia cepacia ,the microbiological testing should be conducted as early as possible,and the antibacterial drugs should be rationally selected according to the drug susceptibility testing results.
3.Experimental study of hydroxyapatite/ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and high-density porous polyethylene used for reconstruction of orbit of rabbits
Journal of Chinese Physician 2009;11(2):205-207
Objective To compare the biocompatible and osteconduetian behavior of the high-density porous polyethylene and hydroxyapatite/ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. Methods Osteoectomy of the upper orbital rim was performed on 60 adult Japan rabbits. The animals were randomly divided into 3 groups with 20 of each. The hydroxyapatite/ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, high-density porous polyethylene was implanted to the upper orbital defect of the animals in respective group. Animals were sacrificed at the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 8th weeks. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Osteocalcin (OC)in the HDPE and hydroxyapatite/ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene was also detected. Result During the experimental period of 8 weeks, there was no implants extrusion or displacement. Fibrous tissue and new vessels grew into HDPE were obviously elder than those grew into hydroxyapatite/ultra high molecular weight polyethy-lene. Alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin contents has great difference, HDPE group is the best, followed by HA combination artificial group (P<0.05). Conclusions High-density porous polyethylene and hydroxyapatite/ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene are both good orbital reconstruction materials, they all have good biocompatiblity and osteoconductian, but high-density porous polyethylene is better than hydroxyapatite/ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene in osteoconductian.

The changes of plasma myostatin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and their clinical correlation were investigated. We recruited 43 T2D patients and 20 age-matched healthy subjects. Plasma myostatin, lipid and glucose, and serum insulin were determined. T2D patients showed significantly higher fasting plasma glucose (FPG), serum insulin and triglyceride levels, and lower high-density lipoprotein levels than normal control subjects (P<0.01). Mean plasma myostatin level in T2D patients and health controls was (66.5±17.8) and (46.2±13.8) ng/mL, respectively. An unpaired t test showed that the increase of myostatin in the T2D patients was significant (P<0.001). In both healthy control and T2D groups, the female subjects showed higher myostatin levels than the male subjects. In the T2D patients, plasma level of myostatin was negatively correlated with body mass index (BMI, r=-0.42, P<0.01) and FPG (r=-0.51, P[Symbol: see text]0.01), but positively correlated with insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR, r=0.48, P<0.01). Up-regulation of plasma myostatin in the T2D patients and its correlation with BMI, FPG and blood insulin sensitivity suggests that plasma myostatin may be implicated in the pathogenesis of T2D and thus presented as a therapeutic target for treating the disease. Furthermore, circulating myostatin levels may be used as a biomarker for the disease.
