OBJECTIVE To investigate the antibiotic resistance status in coagulase negative staphylococcus (CNS) strains and provide the scientific evidence for the reasonable use of antibiotics. METHODS The drug resistance of 251 strains of CNS was ananlyzed. RESULTS The detection rate of methicillin-susceptible coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(MSCNS) was 12.75% (32/251), while that of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (MRCNS) was 87.25%. The drug-resistance rate of MRCNS was higher than that of MSCNS. Vancomycin resistant and intermediate strains had not been detected. CONCLUSIONS Laboratory should monitor the drug resistance well and update in time to offer the evidence for the reasonable use age of the antibiotics.

Objective To investigate The Th1/Th2 and Tc1/Tc2 polarization in the peripheral blood of first degree relatives of pemphigus vulgaris(PV) and healthy control individuals, and to approach the mechanism of the Dsg3-specific autoimmunity in PV. Methods The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from first degree relatives and healthy control was stimulated for72 h with Dsg3 and without Dsg3. Th1/Th2, Tc1/Tc2 was assessed by four-color flow cytometry. Results The mean frequency of Dsg3-spe-cific Th2 cells for PV antibody positive first degree relatives was 10.13%±3.72%, compared with stimula-tion without antigen 7.28%±3.58%, the difference was significant (P<0.05). The percentage Dsg3-spe-cific Th2 was markedly higher in the PV antibody positive first degree relatives group than that in the control group(10.13%±3.72% vs 6.10%±2.82%, P<0.05) , Tc2 was markedly higher also (20.01%± 10.43% v514.91%±8.06%, 20.01%±10.43% vs 9.58%±5.49%, P<0.05). Conclusion When Dsg3 stimulated PBMC were used to stimulate autologous T cells an increased amount of Th2 and Tc2 was observed, it is implied that the imbalance of Th1/Th2, Tc1/Tc2 might play an important role in the initia-tion of PV.

Objective To investigate the incidence and influencing factors of aldosterone breakthrough during therapy with angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blockers (ARB) alone,or combined with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) in Chinese patients with non-diabetic nephropathy.Methods A total of 144 patients with non-diabetic nephropathy were treated with ARB or combination therapy of ACEI and ARB for a mean follow-up period of 12 months.Aldosterone breakthrough was determined according to the change of plasma aldosterone concentration before and after treatment during 6-month and 12-month ACEI/ARB treatment.Results In 6 months,aldosterone breakthrough occurred in 21 patients,corresponding to 14.58％,while in 12 months,occurred in 39 patients,corresponding to 27.08％.Although the overall urinary protein excretion (UPE) decreased after treatment in both groups (P＜0.05),non-breakthrough group had a more remarkable reduction in UPE (P＜0.05).Univariate Logistic regression demonstrated that risk factors of aldosterone breakthrough included pre-treatment values of UPE (OR=3.643,P=0.073) and eGFR (OR=0.980,P=0.025).Multivariate Logistic model revealed pre-treatment values of eGFR was positively associated with aldosterone breakthrough (OR=0.980,P=0.025).Conclusions The incidence of the aldosterone breakthrough increases with duration of treatment.The patients with aldosterone breathrough have higher level of UPE,and enhanced decline in eGFR.Pretreatment value of eGFR is independent risk factor of aldosterone breakthrough.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the effects of nerve block anesthesia versus general anesthesia on intertrochanteric fracture in the elderly. Methods The 104 elderly inpatients undergoing closed reduction and intramedullary nailing for the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fractures were recruited into this study at Department of Orthopedics ,Xiangya Hospital ,Central South University from January 2015 to June 2017.Medical records were collected and analyzed by SPSS 16.0 or GraphPad Prism 6.0 software. Results A total of 104 patients were divided into general anesthesia group(n= 48 )and nerve block anesthesia group (n= 56 ). There was no statistical difference in the demographic characteristics between the two groups. The changes in heart rate ,maximum changes of systolic/diastolic blood pressures ,and infusion volume during surgery were lower in the nerve block anesthesia group than in the general anesthesia group [(12.7 ± 7.3)vs. (18.1 ± 7.8)beats/min ,(22.5 ± 8.8/12.2 ± 7.5)mmHg vs. (34.3 ± 7.9/21.6 ± 6.6)mmHg ,(792.9 ± 387.0)ml vs. (1 083.0 ± 445.5)ml ,respectively ,t=3.64 ,7.14 ,6.73 ,5.16 ,all P＜0.01]. There was no statistically significant difference between two groups in other perioperative data and the number of deaths at three months and one year after surgery. Conclusions As compared with the general anesthesia ,the nerve block anesthesia has less effects on the heart rate ,less maximum changes of systolic and diastolic blood pressures ,and less infusion volume during surgery ,and has no significant increase in postoperative mortality ,which is safe and worthy of further promotion.
