International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2016;37(7):917-919
Objective To analyze the distribution of Escherichia(E .) coli in clinical infection and its drug resistance situation to provide the scientific evidence for the control of outside hospital infection and nosocomial infection and clinical rational drug use . Methods E .coli isolated situation among various types of clinical samples in our hospital during 5 years from January 2010 to De‐cember 2014 ,its department distribution and drug resistance were analyzed .Results The isolated 2 405 strains of E .coli were mainly originated from urine samples (1 049 strains ,43 .60% ) and sputum samples (562 strains ,3 .4% ) .In which the detection rate of extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamase(ESBLs)producing E .coli was 57 .92% ;the resistance rate of E .coli to the most antibacterial drugs including penicillins ,cephalosporins ,fluroquinolones ,aminoglycosides and sulfonamides was more than 50% ,the drugs with the resistance less than 10% were imipenem(0) ,meropenem(0) ,piperacillin/tazobactam(4 .6% ) ,cefoperazone/sulbactam(6 .4% ) and cefoxitin (7 .7% ) ,the resistance to partial third and fourth generation cephalosporins of ceftriaxone ,cefotaxime and cefepime showed the significantly increasing trend .Conclusion E .coli has relatively serious drug resistance situation in hospital‐acquired in‐fections ,clinic should strengthen the pathogen distribution monitoring and drug resistance detection for avoiding the generation of more drug resistant strains in order to reduce the bacterial drug resistance and the hospital infection rate .

A catalytic kinetic photometric method for the determination of nitrite with surfactant sensitizer has been developed. The method is based on the catalysis of NO2- to the discoloring reaction of pyronine B oxidized by potassium bromate in the solution of dilute H3PO4. When cetylpyridine bromide was used as a sensitizer of the reaction, the sensitivity increased by 2.5 times approximately. There was linear relationshop of lg(Ao/A) with nitrite in the range 0.005 ~ 0.15 mg/L. The detection limit was 0.004 mg/L. The method was used in the determination of trace nitrite in water and vegetable samples with satisfactory results.

Objective To determine whether the fixation method of electrode of the improved pediatric video electroencephalogram (VEEG) is better than the traditional fixation method. Methods A total of 746 children patients who needed VEEG monitoring were divided into the experimental group and the control group with random digit table with 373 patients in each group. Improved fixation method and traditional fixation method of electrode were adopted during VEEG monitoring in the experimental group and the control group. The advantage and disadvantage of the two fixation method were compared through evaluation of skin injury of scalp and deltoideus triangularis, electrode loss and electrode breakage. Results The incidence of skin injury of scalp and deltoideus triangularis, electrode loss and electrode breakage in the experimental group were 7, 0, 29, and 12, which were less than 29, 6, 71, and 37 of the control group, the differences were of statistical significance (χ2=14.126, 20.371, 13.652, P<0.01 or 0.05). Conclusions Improved electrode fixation method during pediatric VEEG can avoid skin injury of scalp and deltoideus triangularis, reduce electrode loss and electrode breakage, besides, it also can reduce medical cost and discomfort of children. The modified electrode fixation method proved to be superior to the traditional method and it is worth popularization and application.

Objective: Our purpose was to explore the protective role of Salvia Miltiorrhiza (SM) on gentamicin (GM) ototoxicity. Methods: We used NADPH-diaphorase in histochemical staining and image quantitative analysis technique, combined with auditory brainstem response (ABR) measurement to investigate the change of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity in cochlea of guinea pig after the injection of GM and SM. Results: Gebtamicin and SM significantly reduced NOS activity in cochlear and the threshold of ABR compared with GM alone (P<0.01); and the threshold of ABR was in high correlation with NOS activity (rGM= -0.8236 ~ -0.8662; rSM+GM= -0.8628 ~ -0.9172, P<0.01). Conclusion: Salvia Miltiorrhiza can reduce NOS activity in cochlea, alleviate GM ototoxicity, and ameliorate hearing function.

Objective To study the influence of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor in a rat model of Parkinson’s disease. Methods Hemi-Parkinsonism rat model was established by stereotaxic 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesions in striatum in which nitric oxide synthase (NOS) was inhibited by L-Nitro-Arginine (L-NNA) and apomorphin-induced rotational behavior was measured. The immunohistochemical staining method was used to observe the change of striatal nNOS-positive neurons and nigral tyrosine hydroxylase(TH)-positive neurons. Results L-NNA dramatically protected 6-OHDA-injected rats against indices of severe injury to the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway, including decreases in numbers of TH-positive nigral neurons and rotational behavior. The nNOS-positive neurons showed no changes in numbers. Conclusions These results indicate that NO might mediate, in part, 6-OHDA-induced neurotoxicity and nNOS-positive neurons might resist the 6-OHDA neurotoxicity. NOS inhibitor may play a role in the protection of 6-OHDA neurons.
