OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of antibiotics in the clinic. METHODS:The study quarterly count the dosage of carbapenems,the department distribution of cultured K. pneumonia (271 strains) during Oct. 1st 2013-Sept. 30th 2014,and it’s resistant rates to carbapenems and then investigate the correlation of dosage of carbapenem and drug-resistance of K. pneumoniae. RESULTS:Carbapenem drugs are mainly used in these departments,such as neurosurgery department,ICU and the departments of transplantation and respiratory. Carbapenem-resistant K. pneumonia was also detected in these departments. More-over,with the usage of carbapenem increased by from 64.24% to 360.63%,and the resistant rates of K. pneumonia increased by nearly 10%. CONCLUSIONS:The resistance rates of K. pneumonia is positively related to the amount of carbapenem;the amount control of carbapenems can delay the generation of K. pneumonia.

Objective To investigate whether or not extracorporeal shock wave (ESW) treatment is safe for treating low back pain caused by lumbar facet joint degeneration by observing its effects on the lumbar segment of the spinal cord.Methods Five adult dogs were used for this study.ESWs were focused on their right L_(4~5) facet joints. The energy output was set at 40% of the maximum output,and a total of 1000 shocks were delivered at a frequency of 120/min.Before and 3 days after the treatment,the somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) induced by stimulating the tibial nerve were recorded from the animals' scalps,and the motor function of their hind limbs was evaluated with Tarlov's scale.The animals were then sacrificed and the L_(4~5) segments of their spinal cords were taken for histopatho- logical observation,with the T_(12) segments taken as controls.Results Three days after ESW treatment,the left and the right hind limbs scored 5 and 4 on the Tarlov scale.The amplitude of SEPs decreased and their latency increased. Histopathological observation showed mild swelling of the L_(4~5) segment of the spinal cord with congested veins on the surface.Erythrocyte and leukocyte exudation as well as myelin sheath swelling in the spinal cord were also observed un- der the microscope,but with no demyelination.Conclusion ESW had some adverse effects on the spinal cord when focused on the facet joint.Further studies of the safety range of ESW energy and distance are needed.

Objective: To provide data for exploring the material basis of Acupoints and the relation of accumulation of calcium and vessels at Acupoints .Methods: (1) The distribution characteristics of vessels on tibial side of the interosseous membrane (ST channel 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th cun ) were observed on Chinese ink vascular perfusion adults legs. (2) The content of calcium on ST channel were determined by proton induced X ray emission analysis. Results: (1) The average density (Aa%) of vessels at the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th cun areas of ST channel was significantly higher than that between them ( P

Objective:To explore therapeutic effect of felodipine combined atorvastatin on aged patients with isolated systolic hypertension (ISH).Methods:A total of 176 aged ISH patients were selected from our hospital from Mar 2012 to Jan 2014. They were randomly and equally divided into felodipine group (only received felodipine and other routine therapy)and combined treatment group (received atorvastatin based on treatment of felodipine group),both groups were treated for 12 weeks.Levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP),pulse pressure (PP),fore brachial artery endothelium dependent diastolic-systolic function (FMD),nitric oxide (NO), high sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP)and interleukin (IL)-6 were measured and compared between two groups before and after treatment.Results:Compared with before treatment,after treatment there were significant reductions in levels of SBP,PP,hsCRP and IL-6,and significant rise in FMD and NO level in both groups (P<0.01 all).Compared with felodipine group after treatment,there were significant reductions in levels of SBP [(134.64 ±9.64)mmHg vs.(130.86±9.75)mmHg],PP [(68.57±6.01)mmHg vs.(57.84±5.79)mmHg],hsCRP [(11.94±2.95)mg/L vs.(7.47±1.97)mg/L]and IL-6 [(10.64±3.85)mg/L vs.(5.84±3.11)mg/L],and sig- nificant rise in DBP [(72.64±7.95)mmHg比 (77.94±8.13)mmHg]and FMD [(9.75±2.56)% vs.(12.54± 4.65)%]and NO [(53.74±8.65)μmol/L vs.(86.48±6.84)μmol/L]in combined treatment group,P<0.05 or<0.01. Conclusion:Felodipine combined atorvastatin possesses good therapeutic effect in aged patients with isolated systolic hypertension.It' s help to recovering vascular function and lower inflammatory reactions.

Objective To explore the relationships of post- traumatic growth with self- care efficacy and psychological resilience in patients with breast cancer. Methods Totally 303 patients with breast cancer were investigated with Post- traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), Chinese version of Strategies Used by People to Promote Health (C- SUPPH) and Connor- Davidson Resilience Scale (CD- RISC). Results The total score of PTGI was 63.74±13.00 and the status of post- traumatic growth in breast cancer patients was in middle level, with a highest interpersonal score of 24.49±5.05, a lowest mental change score of 3.84± 1.91. Correlation analysis showed that post- traumatic growth was positively correlated with the level of self- care efficacy and psychological resilience (P<0.01 or 0.05). Regression analysis showed that self- care efficacy and psychological resilience in breast cancer patients could effectively predict the post- traumatic growth with an explanation rate of 36.1%. Conclusions Self- care efficacy and psychological resilience in patients with breast cancer are closely correlated with post- traumatic growth. It is suggested to take appropriate measures to promote post-traumatic growth of the breast cancer patients.
