Objective: To investigate the characteristics of etiology and drug resistance of nosocomial infection in the neurosurgery intensive care unit(NICU),and provide useful information for clinical practice.Methods: We analyzed the clinical data of 179 cases of nosocomial infection among 1 163 patients admitted in the NICU from June 2005 to March 2007.Results: From the 179 patients,346 strains of bacteria were obtained,of which Gram's negative bacili accounted for 52.89%,Gram's positive cocci 38.15% and fungi 8.96%.Of the diagnosed nosocomial infections,83.80% involved the lower respiratory tract,10.61% the urinary tract,2.79% the blood vessels,1.68% the central nervous system and 1.12% the hematological system.Conclusion: To reduce nosocomial infections in the NICU,emphasis should be placed on the control of lower respiratory tract infection as well as on the prevention and treatment of Gram's positive coccus infection in the acute stage and Gram's negative bacillus infection in the later stage.Intensified prevention measures based on the standard ones could help to get the drug-resistant strains under control.

Objective To analyze the HLA-A ,B and DRB1 alleles high-resolution polymorphism in Chongqing Han population . Methods The PCR-SSOP and PCR-SBT methods were applied for the HLA high-resolution genotyping of 2 067 unrelated healthy donors in the registry of Chongqing branch of Chinese National Marrow Donor Program (CMDP) .The allele frequencies of HLA-A , B and DRB1 were estimated by the direct counting method and the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium inspection was performed by using the Arlequin software 3 .1 .Results 168 high-resolution alleles were detected out ,in which 42 alleles of A*11 :01 ,A*24:02 ,A*02:07 ,A*02 :01 and A*33:03 at the HLA-A locus were observed with the frequencies greater than 0 .05 ;81 alleles were detected at HLA-B locus ,including B*46 :01 ,B*40:01 ,B*58 :01 ,B*13 :01 and B*15 :02 with the frequencies greater than 0 .05 ;45 al-leles of DRB1*09:01 ,DRB1*15 :01 ,DRB1*12 :02 ,DRB1*08 :03 and DRB1*11 :01 at the HLA-DR locus were observed with the frequencies greater than 0 .05 .Conclusion The data of the HLA-A ,B and DRB1allelic frequencies at high-resolution level in Chongqing Han population are obtained ,which provides the reliable reference data for the studies of anthropology ,forensic medi-cine ,transplantation matching and disease association .

Objective: To analyze the differences between the social support for breast cancer patients and healthy female, and to explore the correlation between social support and quality of life (QOL) in the patients. Methods: From January 2013 to December 2014, 101 patients with operable breast cancer treated at Xinyu City People′s Hospital were recruited as the experimental group. They completed questionnaires in the preoperative, postoperative chemoradiotherapy and rehabilitation periods, respectively.101 healthy female volunteers recruited from the community were included as control group, whose age and level of education were matched with those of the experimental group.The general questionnaire including basic information, disease conditions and other projects, perceived social support scale (PSSS), quality of life of breast cancer patients (FACT-B) were applied to evaluate the general situation, social support and QOL of the subjects. The differences in PSSS scores between the experimental and control groups were compared. The correlation between PSSS score and FACT-B score in the experimental group was analyzed. SPSS 18.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results: The general situations of the experimental and control groups were comparable (all P>0.05). The rates of the total social support score ≥50 in the experimental and control groups were not significantly different (93.6% vs. 94.7%, P=0.067). Compared with that of the control group (23.2±4.8), the scores of family support in the experimental group in preoperative, postoperative chemoradiotherapy and rehabilitation periods were statistically higher (25.6±3.2, 24.2±4.2 and 24.0±3.4, respectively, P=0.034). The social support scores of patients with different demographic characteristics were different. Among the demographic characteristics, years of education and place of residence had the largest impact. The scores of social support in patients with longer education years and living in the urban area were higher than those with shorter education years and living in the rural areas (P<0.001). The scores of QOL among preoperative, postoperative chemoradiotherapy and rehabilitation periods in the experimental group were significantly different (all P<0.05). The patients gained the highest score of QOL in the preoperative period (110.7±5.1) and the lowest in the postoperative chemoradiotherapy period (95.3±18.1). The QOL of patients in the experimental group in preoperative, postoperative chemoradiotherapy and rehabilitation periods were all positively correlated with the overall social support (all P<0.01). Conclusions The QOL of breast cancer patients at different periods of treatment is positively correlated with the social support. The quality of life can be enhanced by improving the social support for the patients.
