Objective To investigate the relationship between platelet maximum aggregation rate(MAR),platelet thrombocyt-ocrit(PCT),platelet count(PLT),platelet distribution width(PDW)and mean platelet volume(MPV)with the course of acute cere-bral infarction(ACI)to provide the basis for its clinical early diagnosis and treatment.Methods 107 patients with ACI in our hospi-tal were selected and divided into the great infarction group(infarction size >10 cm3 ),middle infarction group(infarction size 4-10 cm3 )and small infarction group(infarction size<4 cm3 )according to the infarction lesion size by head CT or MRI and the infarction volume calculated by the Pullicino formula(length×width×layer number/2),40 healthy individuals were selected as the healthy control group.MAR,PLT,PDW,MPV and PCT were detected before and after the induction by PLR-06.Results (1 )Compared with the control group,PLT,PCT,PDW and MPV before the induction by PLR-06 in the great infarction group were obviously in-creased(P <0.01);PLT,PCT,PDW and MPV in the middle and small infarction groups were increased(P <0.05).(2)Compared with the control group,MAR after the induction by PLR-06 in each infarction group was increased(P <0.05);PLT had no statisti-cal difference among the groups(P >0.05 );PCT,PDW and MPV in the great and middle infarction groups were increased(P <0.05);PCT,PDW and MPV in the small infarction group had no statistical differences(P >0.05).Conclusion The change of the platelet aggregation rate,number and volume is closely related with the occurrence and development of ACI,monitoring their change has important clinical significance to prevention and treat ACI.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the susceptibilities of Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus isolated from Shenzhen Hospital during 2005 to 2006 to 17 antimicrobial agents.METHODS The minimal inhibitory concentrations(MICs) of 17 antibacterial agents were determined by agar dilution method,WHONET5.3 software was used to analyze the data.RESULTS The prevalence of meticillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA) was 20.7%.Vancomycin and teicoplanin remained very high activity against MRSA(100%),with the MIC50 and MIC90 of 0.5 and 1 ?g/ml,respectively.Fluoroquinolones(ciprofloxacin,levofloxacin and gatifloxacin),trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole,erythromycin,and clindamycin showed very low activity against MRSA(0-33.3%).The most active agent against Enterococcus faecalis was vancomycin and teicoplanin(100.0%),followed by piperacillin/tazobactam,imipenem and ampicillin(97.2-100.0%).E.faecium showed high resistance to various agents,except to vancomycin and teicoplanin(susceptible rate 100.0%).Cross-resistance to fluoroquinolones was found among MRSA,MSSA,E.faecalis,and E.faecium.CONCLUSIONS MRSA and E.faecium isolated from our hospital showed high resistance to multiple antimicrobial agents except vancomycin and teicoplanin.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of multidrug resistance(MDR) mechanisms of Staphylococcus haemolyticus against oxacillin,gentamycin and erythromycin.METHODS Agar dilution method was performed to detect the minimal inhibition concentration(MIC) of 3 antimicrobial agents against 63 strains of S.haemolyticus,and the resistance genes of mecA,aac(6′)+aph(2″),ermA,ermB,ermC and msrA/msrB were investigated by PCR in all clinical isolates.RESULTS mecA Gene was detected in 62 isolates of meticillin-resistant S.haemolyticus(MRSH),and aac(6′)+aph(2″) gene was found in 50 isolates resistant to gentamicin,and the most prevalence erythromycin resistance gene in S.haemolyticus was msrA/msrB(58.7%),followed by ermC(31.7%).Among the 43 MDR strains,the more commonly encountered three genes were mecA,aac(6′)+aph(2″) and msrA/msrB(58.1%)or ermC(20.9%),and 8 isolates(18.6%) were found harboring four genes of mecA,aac(6′)+aph(2″),ermC and msrA/msrB.CONCLUSIONS The mecA,aac(6′)+aph(2″),msrA/msrB and ermC genes are main resistance mechanisms against oxacillin,gentamicin and erythromycin in mutidrug resistant S.haemolyticus.
