Objective To survey the multi-drug resistance among the isolates of methicillinresistant Staphyloeocus from lower respiratory tract in post-cardiothoracic surgery patients and the risk factors contributing to infection aggravation.Methods The clinical data of lower respiratory tract infections were reviewed retrospectively from June 2011 to December 2012.The antimicrobial susceptibility testing was analyzed according to CLSI breakpoints 2010.Results A total of 323 clinical isolates was identified in 264 patients,including gram-positive coccus (126 strains) and gram-negative bacillus (197 strains).The prevalence of methiciIlin-resistant srtains was 88.5 ％ (54/61)in Staphylococus.Aureus (MRSA),and 77.3％ (17/22) in Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE).No VISA or VRSA strain was identified.One enterococcal strain was resistant to Vancomycin and teicoplanin.MRSA/MRSE were also isolated from hands and nasal vestibule of nurses,article surfae,pipeline/interface of breathing machine and ward atmosphere.Conclusions Patients after cardiothoracic operation are susceptible to lower respiratory tract infection with gram positive cocci,which should be paid more attention to airway management.Rational administration,sterile operation and antimicrobial therapy are effective ways for control of multi-durg resistance.

Objective To investigate the effects of eardiopulmonary bypass(CPB)on plasma nitric oxide (NO)and asymmetric dimethyl arginine(ADMA)concentrations in patients with congenital heart disease complicated with pulmonary hypertension undergoing open heart surgery.Methods Eighteen ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients aged 11-40 yr weighing 26-59 kg undergoing open heart surgery under CPB were divided into 3 groups according to pulmonary arterial systolic pressure(PASP)(n=6 each):group Ⅰ PASP<30 mm Hg;group Ⅱ PASP 30-50 mm Hg and group Ⅲ PASP>50 mm Hg.Arterial blood samples were taken before induction of anesthesia (To,baseline),at the start and termination of CPB(T1,2)and 3,6,24 h after CPB(T3-5)for determination of plasma NO and ADMA concentrations.Results The three groups were comparable with respect to M/F sex ratio,age,body weight and CPB time.The plasma ADMA concentrations were significantly increased while NO concentrations were significantly decreased at termination of CPB(T2)and 3 and 6 h after CPB(T3,4)as compared with the baseline at T0 in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ.The plasma ADMA concentration were significantly higher and No concentrations were significantly lower at all time points in groupⅡand Ⅲthan in group Ⅰ.Conclusion CPB can increase plasma ADMA concentration and decrease plasma NO concentration in patients with congenital heart disease complicated with pulmonary hypertension undergoing open heart surgery.
