Objective To investigate the mechanism of one carbapenems resistant Raoultella planticola( R.planticola) isolate.Methods This is an experimental study.R.planticola was isolated from a patient′s drainage fluid from orthopedic department in November 2010 in Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital.Minimum inhibitory concentration of R.planticola to 13 antibiotics was determined by using the agar dilution method.Modified Hodge test was used to detect carbapenemase .EDTA synergistic test was performed to research metallo-beta-lactamase.The genes coded the β-lactamase were amplified by polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) , including class A carbapenemase ( KPC ) , class B carbapenemases (NDM, IMP, VIM, SIM), extended spectrum beta-lactamases[ESBL(CTX, TEM, SHV)], and AmpCβ-lactamases ( FOX, EBC, ACC, DHA, CIT, MOX).Results The susceptibility test showed that R.planticola was resistant to 9 antibiotics.MIC value of meropenem for R.planticola was up to 32 mg/L.R.planticola kept intermediary to imipenem , whereas it was susceptible to cefepime , amikacin and polymyxin B.Modified Hodge test and EDTA synergistic test were positive in R.planticola.Class B carbapenemase (IMP) gene and two extended spectrum β-lactamases(CTX, SHV) genes were positive by PCR.The genes were conformed as IMP-4, CTX-M3 and SHV-12 by sequencing and compared with GenBank.Other resistant genes were negative.Conclusion IMP-4 was identified in R.planticola, the combined produce IMP-4 and ESBLs might be the main mechanism of R.planticola resistant to carbapenems.

Objective To compare the ventilatory effects between three-way laryngeal mask airway (TLMA)and tracheal catheter (TC) on hemodynamics, respiratory function and stress responses on patients during bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). Method Forty patients scheduled for BAL under general anesthesia were divided (stratified sampling) into either TLMA group (group T,n = 20) or TC group (group C, n = 20) according to the stratified sampling principle. SpO2, SBP, DBP and HR were measured in 5 min after entering the operating theater (To), just before inserting TLMA or TC(T1), immediately after inserting TLMA or TC(T2) ,3 min(T3), 5 min(T4), 10 min(T5)after mechanical ventilation, 10 min(T6),20 min(T7), 30 min(T8)during the course of BAL,immediately after extubating TLMA or TC (T9)and 3 min after extubating TLMA or TC (T10). The tidal volume (VT), peak inspiratory airway pressure (Ppeak) and end expiratory CO2 pressure(PETCO2)were recorded at T2,T4,T6,T7, T8, T10. The venous blood samples were taken at T0, T2, T3, T4, T6, T9, T10 for the measurements of epinephrine(AE), norepinephrine(NE)and dopamine (DA) levels with high performance liquid chromatography.Data were dealt with SPSS version 10.0 statistic software. The variables of hemodynamics and stress responses were analyzed with ANOVA of repeating test data. P ＜ 0.05 means the difference in statistical significance. Results In group C, SBP, DBP and HR were significantly higher than those in group T at T2 ,T3 ,T9 (P ＜ 0.05). In group C, the levels of Ppeak were significantly higher than those in group T at T6 ,T7 ,T8 (P ＜ 0.05), and the concentrations of AE, NE and DA were also significantly higher in group C than those in group T at T2, T3 and T9 (P ＜0.05). Conclusions Ventilation with TLMA in patients during BAL is better than TC in respects of keeping stable ventilation, stable hemodynamics and producing less stress responses.

OBJECTIVETo correlate morphological features with mutations of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in lung adenocarcinomas.

METHODSAccording to 2011 International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer/American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society International Multidisciplinary Lung Adenocarcinoma Classification, a total of 72 surgically resected lung adenocarcinomas were collected and classified into different histological subtypes and different cell types (hobnail, columnar and polygonal). EGFR gene mutation was detected with the amplification refractory mutation method provided by the EGFR mutation test kit. The correlation between these subtypes and EGFR mutations were evaluated.

RESULTSMutations of EGFR were detected in 48.6% (35/72) of lung adenocarcinomas; 19del and L858R were major mutational types (88.6%, 31/35). EGFR mutations were associated with female gender, non-smoking status, and well to moderately differentiated tumor histology. EGFR mutation types were not associated with age, smoking index, lymph node metastasis, stage, status of whether have or not have inclusion bodies or psammoma bodies and mitotic level. Correlations were observed between acinar and papillary adenocarcinoma subtypes and EGFR mutations according to the new classification. EGFR mutation was rare in the subtype of solid adenocarcinoma with mucin production and almost never observed in special subtypes (mainly mucinous and colloid adenocarcinoma). In addition, EGFR mutation was associated with the hobnail cell type.

CONCLUSIONLung adenocarcinomas of predominate acinar and papillary histological subtypes with hobnail cell morphology are good predictors for EGFR mutations.

BACKGROUND:Femoral neck fracture is mainly fixed by three inverted triangle cannulated screws. Scholars have proposed to add a cannulated screw to enhance the fixation strength of femoral neck fracture of Pauwels III type based on three cannulated screw fixation, but the stability is not verified. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the biomechanical stability and stress of the three and four cannulated screws for the treatment of the Pauwels III femoral neck fractures. METHODS:The CT imaging results of the fourth generation of artificial bone sawbones were imported into the Mimics software wherein a three-dimensional finite element model of the proximal femur was prepared and introduced in the 3-matic software. Models of middlesegment of femoral neck with Pauwels III fractures were established. Cannulated screw models were established with UG 8.0 software and introduced in the fractures models. Finally, finite element models of Pauwels III femoral neck fractures fixed with three and four screws were established. In the same condition, an axial load of 411 N was applied on the femoral head with Abaqus software. The displacement of two markers of the broken ends and internal fixation system Von Mises stress distribution were compared between the two models. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The displacement was 0.42 mm in three screws model, and 0.17 mm in the four screws model. (2) Von Mises stress peak was 547 MPa and 27.8 MPa in both models. The peak value was lower in models of fourscrews than that of three screws. Stress concentration position was at the fracture site in both models. The stress range of models of four screws was more extensive and scattered. (3) Finite element analysis results demonstrated that four-screw implantation for Pauwels III femoral neck fractures had strong anti-shearing force and biomechanical stability. Clinical advantages need further clinical comparative study.
