Objective To analyze risk factors and antimicrobial use for hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP)due to multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs)in an intensive care unit(ICU),so as to perform risk assessment and guide antimicrobial use.Methods From January 2012 to December 2013,HAP patients were conducted retrospective co-hort study,risk factors for MDRO-HAP and rationality of antimicrobial use were analyzed.Results A total of 110 cases of HAP occurred in ICU,63 cases (57.27%)were MDR-HAP.Logistic regression analysis revealed that re-cent hospital stay ≥5 days (OR=19.94),transference from other hospitals (OR =19.33),infection type of late-onset HAP (OR=7.98),and antimicrobial use in recent 90 days (OR =3.42)were independent risk factors for MDR-HAP.Initial empirical anti-infective treatment revealed that there were no significant difference in timing of antimicrobial administration within 24 hours after clinical diagnosis was confirmed,and rationality of antimicrobial selection between MDR-HAP group and non-MDR-HAP group (both P >0.05);The isolation rate of pathogens in MDR-HAP group was lower than non-MDR-HAP group (73.02% vs 91 .49% P <0.05 ).Targeted antimicrobial therapy revealed that there were no significant difference in selection,dosage,and frequency of antimicrobial use be-tween two groups(all P >0.05 );the rationality rate of therapy course in MDR-HAP group was higher than no-MDR-HAP group,but rationality rate of combination use of antimicrobial agents was slightly lower than the latter (both P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Patients in ICU should be conducted risk factor assessment,and according prevention and control measures should be formulated,so as to reduce the occurrence of MDR-HAP,health care workers should standardized the initial empirical anti-infective treatment.

Objective To evaluate the effect of plan-do-check-act (PDCA)cycle method in improving disinfection efficacy of object surface in intensive care unit (ICU).Methods On the basis of management of healthcare-associat-ed infection (HAI)and prevention of multidrug-resistant organisms,disinfection efficacy of object surface in an ICU was intervened,data about surface object specimens taken before,during,and after intervention,HAI in patients, as well as detection of MDROs were collected.Results The total qualified rate of specimens taken before,during, and after intervention was 58.24%,76.74%,and 88.71 %,respectively,there was an increased tendency,the difference was significant (χ2 =17.41 ,P =0.009);the incidence of HAI was 3.72%,2.42%,and 1 .78%,respec-tively,there was a decreased tendency(χ2 =6.03,P =0.039),case infection rate was 4.36%,2.75%,and 2.37%respectively,there was a decreased tendency (χ2 = 7.24,P = 0.046 );detection rate of MDROs was 34.03%, 27.45%,and 14.05%,respectively,there was a decreased tendency (χ2 =33.84,P =0.007),the percentage of pa-tients who were detected MDROs and HAI caused by MDROs showed a decreased tendency(χ2 =6.14,6.02,both P<0.05).Conclusion The implementation of PDCA cycle can effectively improve disinfectant efficacy of ICU object surface,and reduce the incidence of MDRO HAI.

AIM: To study the protective effect and mechanism of swimming on kidney of diabetic mice. METHODS: The mice were randomly divided into normal control group, normal swimming group, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) mice model group, diabetic swimming group and metformin group. T2DM model was established by streptozotocin (STZ) method. The mice in normal swimming group and diabetic swimming group were given swimming exercise (1 h a day), and the metformin group were given metformin (200 mg/kg) by gavage once a day for 7 weeks. Fasting blood glucose and serum insulin were measured and insulin resistance index was calculated. The contents of uric acid, urea and creatinine in serum were determined. The ratio of renal mass to body mass was calculated, and the pathological changes of renal tissues were observed. The relative expressions of autophagy related proteins LC3 and P62 in renal tissues were detected by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with normal control group, insulin resistance index and renal mass/body mass ratio in model group were significantly increased. Serum uric acid, urea and creatinine levels increased, and glomerular pathological changes were obvious. LC3II/LC3I ratio decreased significantly. The expression of P62 was significantly increased. Compared with model group, insulin resistance index and renal mass/body mass ratio in diabetic swimming group were significantly decreased. The contents of serum uric acid, urea and creatinine decreased, and the pathological changes of glomerular were alleviated. LC3II/LC3I ratio increased significantly. The expression of P62 decreased significantly (P even <0.05). CONCLUSION: Swimming protects the kidney injury of T2DM mice, and its mechanism may be related to promoting the autophagy process of renal tissue.
