Objective: To study the effect of levosimendan treatment in patients of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) with different heart fraction. Methods: A total of 145 DCM patients were enrolled, based on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), the patients were divided into 3 groups: Mild heart failure (HF) group, the patients with LVEF≤45%,n=15, Moderate HF group, LVEF≤40%,n=58 and Severe HF group, LVEF≤30%,n=72. LVEF, left atrial diameter (LAD), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and blood levels of BNP were examined and compared at prior and 7 days after levosimendan treatment respectively. Results: Compared with prior treatment, fater7 days of levosimendan medication, LVEF was elevated at certain degree in all 3 groups, while the statistic improvement was only found in Severe HF group (26.06±3.59) % vs (24.79±2.81) %,P<0.05; LAD and LVEDD had no obvious changes with levosimendan medication in all 3 groups,P>0.05. After levosimendan treatment, blood levels of BNP were decreased in all 3 groups as in Mild HF group (604.80±631.87) pg/ml vs (1252.17±1435.39) pg/ml, Moderate HF group (2369.78±2478.59) pg/ml vs (3206.90±2677.15) pg/ml and Severe HF group (4879.63±5302.42) pg/ml vs (6004.46±5041.59) pg/ml, allP<0.05. The differences of BNP level between prior and after levosimendan treatment, the ratio for BNP reduction were similar among 3 groups, allP>0.05. Conclusion: Levosimendan may, in short term, improve the cardiac function in DCM patients with mild, moderate and severe HF with similar degree; while it could not really change the cardiac structure.

OBJECTIVE To study the antibiotic resistance gene of qacE△1-sul1 in Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from inpatients in Urumqi and the distribution and difference of qacE△1-sul1 genotype in Xinjiang. METHODS Bacterial strains were identified by system of API and antibiotic susceptibility test was detected by K-B and microdilution methods according CLSI.PCR was used to determine the gene of qacE△1-sul1 and compared with the sequences in GenBank. RESULTS Antibiotic resistance phenotypes showed the resistance rate to cefataxime and tetracycline was the highest(100.0%),but that to cefoperazone/sulbactam was the lowest.The positive rate of qacE△1-sul1 gene in A.baumannii was 52.2%. CONCLUSIONS High resistance in A.baumannii is found in Xinjiang.The positive rate of qacE△1-sul1 is high.Strengthening epidemiology surveillance of resistance carried by integron-carrying gene is important.
