Objective To observe the bacterioflora of bile and it' s drugs sensitivity in patients with bile duct diseases to serve as a guidance in medication. Methods Bile of 156 cases of patients with biliary disease was collected and cultured respectively during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ER-CP) by deep cannulation and sucking out bile through the catheter. Forty eight blood samples among them were cultured simultaneously. Ten kinds of drug papers were used to investigate the bacterial sensitivity. The data were analysed statistically- Results Bacteria positive rate of these 156 bile samples was 62. 8% , including Gram - negative bacteria (81.6% ) and Gram - positive bacteria (18. 4% ). These bacteria consist of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (35. 1% ) , Escherichia coli(22. 8% ) , Streptococcus faecalis (16.7%) ,Entero bacilliaerogenes(7. 9% ) ,Klebsiella(7. 0% ) , Citrobacter(6. 1% ) ,Acinetobacler lwqffi(2. 6% ) and Staphylo-coccus aureus( 1. 7% ). The bacteria positive rate was only 4. 2% in the 48 blood samples. Drug sensitive rates of bacteria against 10 kinds of drugs were changed in recent years. The result indicated that the sensitive rates of bacteria were significantly higher in ciprofloxacin, fortum, cefoperazone, sulbactam + cefoperazone and cilastatin than those in ampicillin,azlocillin, cefazolin sodium, eefuroxime(P

BACKGROUND:Positioning of the distal locking screws of a tibial intramedulary nail is often chalenging and time consuming. The traditional free-hand technique under fluoroscopic control involves considerable radiation exposure.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the results of a new electromagnetic navigation system (TRIGEN-SURESHOT navigation system) for distal locking of tibial intramedullary nail in tibial diaphyseal fracture and to compare the effects with the free-hand method.METHODS: Forty-five cases of tibial diaphyseal fracture in the Second Hospital of Anhui Medical University from May 2014 to August 2015 were analyzed retrospectively, and were divided into two groups. Patients in navigation group (n=23) were treated with intramedullary nail using the TRIGEN-SURESHOT navigation system for distal locking, and the remainings in free-hand group (n=22) were given the free-hand method.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: All cases were followed up for 17-32 months. The one-time success rate of distal locking nail operation was 100% in the navigation group, which was significantly higher than that in the free-hand group (P < 0.05). The locking nail time in the navigation group was significantly less than that in the free-hand group (P < 0.05).No significant differences were found in the incidence of adverse events and fracture healing time between two groups (P > 0.05). To conclude, the effect of the TRIGEN-SURESHOT navigation system for distal locking of tibial intramedullary nail is satisfactory, exhibiting the advantages of short operation time, high success rate, and no radiation.

Objective To explore the effect of posterior debridement, grafting and internal fixation for treatment of non-specific lumbar intervertebral infection. Methods Clinical data of 20 patients with non-specific lumbar intervertebral infection treated in General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from October 2013 to June 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 15 males and 5 females with an average age of 41 years (range, 36-51 years). All patients suffered from single lumbar inter-vertebral infection, including 3 cases at L2/3,4 at L3/4,10 at L4/5 and 3 at L5/S1. All 20 cases underwent one-stage posterior debride-ment, autogenous bone grafting and internal fixation, tissue samples in focus were collected for bacterial culture and pathological examination. The disease controlling statues were evaluated based on laboratory results of ESR and CRP. Imaging examinations were taken to evaluate the fusion of vertebral body. Clinical effects were evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS) and the Jap-anese Orthopaedic Association scores (JOA) score of lumbar fumction. Results All patients underwent the surgery successfully. The surgery duration time was 90-160 min, average 125 min, and the blood loss was 200-700 ml, average 360 ml. Cerebrospinal fluid leakage occurred in one case. Postoperatively, all patients experienced significant reliefof back pain, improving in the func-tion of movement, and no fever. The lower back VAS score: average (5.35 ± 1.15) points before operation , average (2.76 ± 0.34) points one week after operation, and an average score of (0.85±0.65) points by the last follow-up time. JOA lumbar function score:all patients were effective after operation, the improvement rate was excellent in 65%(13cases), good in 25%(5 cases), and pass-able in 10%(2cases). Comparing with preoperation, the excellent and good rate was 90%. All patients ESR and CRP returned to normal levels at the last follow-up. Ordinary bacterial culture was positive in 8 cases and negative in 12 cases. The pathogens iden-tified were staphylococcus aureus (6 cases), Escherichia coli (2 cases) and staphylococcus epidermidis (2cases). All incisions achieved primary healing. All patients were followed up from 6-18 months (average,12 months), and the symptom of pain relieved significantly. No recurrent infection had happened. A solid bony fusion was found in all patients at 6-14 months (average, 8.5 months) after the surgery. Conclusion Posterior debridement, grafting and internal fixation are effective treatments for non-spe-cific lumbar intervertebral infection, can reduce the time of staying in hospital, this operation is safe and reliable.
