International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2014;(13):1681-1682
Objective To understand the distribution and drug resistance of fungus isolated from urinary tract infection for guid-ing clinical rational drug use.Methods The clinically submitted urinary system samples from January 2012 to June 2013 were per-formed the fungal identification and the drug susceptibility test to 5 kinds of anti-fungal drugs.The detection results were analyzed by the WHONET software.Results (1)239 strains of fungi were isolated,in which Candida albicans occupied the top place,fol-lowed by Candida glabrata and Candida tropicalis;(2)the sensitivity rates of 239 fungal strains to fluconazole(FCA),itraconazole (ITR),voriconazole(VRC),5-fluorocytosine(5-FC)and amphotericin B(AMB)were 63.2%,61.9%,92.5%,93.7% and 93.7%respectively;(3)Candida albicans had the high sensitivity to 5 kinds of anti-fungal drugs,which reached more than 95%;(4)Candida gla-brata had the lowest sensitivity to FCA and ITR,only 9.7%.Conclusion The fungal infection in the urinary system is dominated by Candi-da albicans,due to the different sensitivity to 5 kinds of anti-fungal drugs in different fungi,therefore strengthening the fungal identification of the urinary system and the drug sensitivity test can provide the important reference basis for clinical rational use of anti-fungal drugs.

The study aims to investigate the effect of the ratio of long axis to short axis (RLS) of upright polypropylene infusion bag on discharging process and to search the best RLS. Aiming at five different RLS (1. 5 : 1, 2 : 1, 3 : 1, 4 : 1 and 5 : 1, respectively) with the volume of 100 mL, 250 mL and 500 mL, respectively, based on finite element method, analyzing the variation of stress distribution, emptying rate, drugging space and steadiness coefficient, etc. For the bags of the same volume, emptying rate increased with increasing of RLS, but the steadiness coefficient decreased with increasing of RLS. The specific increasing amplitude of emptying rate and decreasing range of steadiness coefficient were as follows: 20% and 49% for 100 mL infusion bag, 9% and 51% for 250 mL infusion bag, and 11% and 46% for 500 mL infusion bag, respectibvely, when RLS increased from 1. 5 : 1 to 5 : 1. Comparatively speaking, the increasing amplitude of the emptying rate is remarkably less than the decreasing range of the steadiness coefficient. By comprehensive consideration of both emptying rate and steadiness coefficient, lower RLS is recommended for upright polypropylene infusion bag.

Objective To investigate effect of rotational and shortening osteotomy at the conjoined mass in the treatment of congenital radioulnar synostosis.Methods Fourteen cases of radioulnar synostosis in 13 patients were treated by rotational and shortening osteotomy at the conjoined mass of radius and ulna.There were 10 males and 3 females,aged from 2 to 7 years (average,3.5 years).The pronation deformity of the forearm ranged from 50° to 90° (average,82.1°).The affected limbs could not perform some activities of daily living such as eating by holding a bowl,cleaning genitals and buttocks,turning on the global door knob,turning a key in a keyhole,and accepting objects in the palm.The operation was done through Boyd approach,and the proximal interosseous membrane of forearm was identified and released.The conjoined mass of radius and ulna was cut and shortened about 0.5 cm,then the distal part of forearm was rotated to neutral position or 10° to 20° of supination.Finally two parts of osteotomy were closed and fixed by crossing Kirschner wires which were removed 8 to 16 weeks after operation when reunion had been achieved.Results The average correction of pronation deformity of the forearm was 90.7°.No ischemic contracture of the forearm and incision infection occurred.And bone union was achieved in all patients.The parents and children were satisfied with improvement of deformity and function of the affected limbs.All patients were followed up for 14 to 88 months (average,35.7 months),and there was no loss of correction.Conclusion Rotational and shortening osteotomy at the conjoined mass of radius and ulna is an effective method for treating congenital radioulnar synostosis,which can significantly improve deformity and function of the affected limbs,and decrease risk of ischemic contracture of the forearm after operation.

Objective To approach the correlation of the left ventricular function in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at low-risk factor. Methods Forty-five elderly patients hospitalized for AMI were registered, including 20 patients who were underwent emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after the onset of AMI and 25 patients who received conservative non-invasive therapies. These 45 cases all received echocardiography(ECHO) examination in the 4th and 24th week after acute myocardial infarction. Results In the PCI group, end-diastolic volume index (EDVI) and end-systolic volume index (ESVI) had significant difference (P0.05) after therapy; WMSI was higher than PCI group (P

Objective To investigate the treatment strategies and clinical effects in treatment of floating knee in children.Methods A retrospective case series study was made on 26 cases of floating knee treated from July 2005 to June 2015.There were 22 males and four females, aged from 2-14 years (mean, 7.6 years).According to the Letts classification of the floating knee, ten cases were with type A, four with type B, two with type C, eight with type D, and two with type E.Closed fractures were noted in 16 cases and open fractures in 10 cases.According to the Gustilo classification of open fractures, one was with type ⅢA, six with type ⅢB, and three with type ⅢC.One case was amputated from the distal of the femur, eight cases were treated by traction and plaster caster, and 17 cases were treated by reduction and fixation of both femoral and tibil fractures.Wound healing, fracture union, Karsstrom criteria for functional outcome and complications were detected.Results All patients were followed up for mean 2.8 years (range, 1-6 years).One case of Gustilo type ⅢA and six cases of Gustilo type ⅢB open fractures had wound healing after one-stage debridement.Two cases of Gustilo type ⅢC showed wound healing after second-stage skin grafting.One case of Gustilo type ⅢC had amputation wound infection and was cured after a second debridement and dress change.Two had delayed union and there was no nonunion.According to the Karlstrom criteria, the excellent and good rate of functional outcome was 25% and 83% respectively in nonoperative and operative population (P<0.05).Malunion was found in four cases, genu vagum in three and overgrowth of 10-20 mm in seven.There was no premature closure of epiphysis.Conclusion Femur and tibia immobilization of floating knee in children is effective for bone union and functional recovery.

OBJECTIVETo study the duration of prourokinase gene expression in vein grafts and the role of the prourokinase gene in protecting vein grafts from neointimal hyperplasia.
METHODSFifty-four Wistar rats were used in this study. In each rat, the jugular vein was excised and distended for 30 minutes using a solution containing either Adv(5)-CMV (control group) or Adv(5)-CMV/Pro-UK (treatment group). Next, the jugular vein was reversed and interposed into the divided carotid artery of the same rat. On the 14th day after transfection, vein grafts of the control group were collected in order to perform a fibrinolysis test for prourokinase (Pro-UK) activity. On the 2nd, 7th, 14th, 28th, and 60th day, the vein grafts of the treatment group were likewise collected in order to detect prourokinase activity. On the 28th day, the vein grafts of both groups were explanted to evaluate the (3)H-TDR incorporation so that pathologic analysis could be performed.
RESULTSPro-UK activity could not be detected in the control group, while in the treatment group, the Pro-UK activity could be detected from the 2nd day onwards, peaking on the 7th day and declining from the 14th day, but yet persisting at a low level for a further month. The amount of (3)H-TDR incorporated in the control group was higher than that in the treatment group. Pathologic analysis demonstrated that vein grafts of both groups exhibited wall thickening, but that the degree of graft neointimal hyperplasia and reduction of the graft lumen was greater in the control group than that in the treatment group. The occlusion rate of grafts in the control group was 20%. All grafts in the treatment group were patent.
CONCLUSIONSPro-UK gene transfer before vein grafting in vitro results in a high level of gene expression in the vein graft from the 7th day to 14th day. And its gene expression in the vein graft could reduce neointimal hyperplasia in the vein graft.
