Results Compared to control group, CGA could significantly increase glucose consumption of normal HepG2 cells and the dosedependent effect was noted between 10-40 mg/L(P

OBJECTIVE To estimate the distribution of pathogens of nosocomial infection in intensive care units,the sites where infections often taken place and the related antibiotic-resistance of bacteria.METHODS Various samples of bacteria from intensive care units have been examined by applying half-automatic analyzer ATB Expression,with bacteria inspecting cards and drug-sensitivity cards,all from Bio-Merieux,France.RESULTS Totally 153 strains of nosocomial pathogens have been found,where Acinebacter baumannii,fungi and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ranked top three,with rates of 32.0%,16.3%,and 15.0%,respectively.About 45.8% of pathogens were found in samples from the lower respiratory tract.Approximately 4.3% of A.baumannii showed drug-resistance to imipenem.However,more than 50.0% of A.baumannii presented its strong drug-resistance to rest of eight regular antibiotics.CONCLUSIONS A.baumannii is a dominating pathogen to cause nosocomial infection in intensive care units,and has shown strong multi-drug-resistance,which should incur high clinical attention.It comes to be crucial to highlight sanitization and sterilization operation,applying proper antibiotics in order to reduce appearance of bacteria with drug-resistance.

Background:Mediastinoscopy is an effective method for the treatment of early esophageal cancer with minimal invasiveness and lower risk. Preoperative accurate staging of esophageal cancer is the key for the choice of mediastinoscopic operation as the treatment modality. Aims:To evaluate the value of combination of endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS)with CT for the treatment of esophageal cancer under mediastinoscopy. Methods:Sixty patients with esophageal cancer were enrolled. The TN staging results of esophageal cancer by EUS and CT examination were compared with the results of postoperative TN staging. Patients were divided into mediastinoscopic operation group and conventional operation group, and the operation time,intraoperative bleeding volume,postoperative pleural drainage flow and postoperative hospitalization time of the two groups were compared. Results:The accuracy rates of preoperative EUS examination in assessing T and N stage were 81. 7% and 83. 3% ,respectively;accuracy rates of preoperative CT examination were 60. 0% and 53. 3% , respectively;and accuracy rates of EUS combined with CT were 85. 0% and 86. 7% ,respectively. Compared with conventional operation group,intraoperative bleeding volume[(178. 2 ± 30. 1)mL vs.(232. 0 ± 48. 2)mL,P ﹤ 0. 05], postoperative pleural drainage flow[( 142. 8 ± 22. 5 ) mL vs. ( 256. 0 ± 42. 3 ) mL,P ﹤ 0. 01 ],postoperative hospitalization time[(12. 1 ± 2. 5)days vs. (14. 3 ± 3. 6)days,P ﹤ 0. 05]in mediastinoscopic operation group were significantly decreased,and no significant difference in operation time was found between the two groups[(152. 4 ± 13. 2) minutes vs.(163. 3 ± 25. 5)minutes,P ﹥ 0. 05]. Conclusions:Combination of EUS with CT examination can improve the accuracy of preoperative staging,thus provides an important reference for the choice of treating esophageal cancer by mediastinoscopic operation.

Objective To evaluate the effect of preoperative oral finasteride on patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) undergoing holmium lasterenucleation of prostate (HoLEP).Methods A total of 156 BPH patients from Department of Urology in Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital from Sep.2010 to Mar.2012 was analyzed retrospectively.79 patients receiving oral 5 mg/d finasteride before operation were selected as medication group,and the 77 patients without taking finasteride were selected as control group.The perioperative data,including operation time,amount of washing fluid during operation,preoperative and postoperative changes of hemoglobin level and postoperative bladder washing time were compared between two groups.Results Compared with control group,the changes of hemoglobin level after HoLEP,amount of washing fluid during operation,and postoperative bladder washing time with normal saline were significantly decreased in experimental group[(1.08±0.27) g/L vs.(1.55±0.32) g/L,(27.51±3.67) L vs.(36.89±6.47) L,(24.85±4.17) h vs.(35.87±5.10) h,all P＜0.05].Conclusions Oral finasteride before HoLEP can reduce perioperative bleeding and the volume of bladder irrigation with normal saline.
