The low diversity and large inter-individual differences of children′s intestinal microbiota are associated with antibiotic-resistant bacteria colonization and infection. Therefore, rapid and accurate detection of intestinal microbiota dysbiosisis of great significance for the prevention and treatment of intestinal infection and the rational use of antibiotics. The current intestinal pathogens detection methods have either poor accuracy or low throughput. The developing multi-omics technology can accurately detect known and unknown pathogens and can also be used to evaluate the intestinal microbiota state comprehensively. This technology will be widely applied in the detection of intestinal infections in children.

Objective To investigate the drug-resistance and distribution of 142 strains acinetobacter baumannii.Methods Drug-resistance test of acinetobacter baumannii strains was observed in 13 kinds of antibiotics.The drug sensitivity tests was performed by the method of Kirby-Bauer paper-diffusion with the standard of NCCLS.AmpC enzyme was examined by cefoxitin three dimension test and PCR amplification of ampC structure gene were studied.Results The main sources of specimen were sputum,wound secretion,urine and blood.The respiratory tract was a major site to the development of acinetobacter baumannii.Acinetobacter baumannii strain emerged mostly in the intensive care unites.The drug resistance to cefotaxime,ceftriaxome and aztreonam were high.PCR amplification showed that of 142 acinetobacter baumannii strains,23 strains had ampC structure gene which accounted for 16 2% total strains.The drug resistance of acinetobacter baumannii producing AmpC enzyme were significantly higher than those of non-producing AmpC.The best choice of treatment was imipenem.Conclusions Acinetobacter baumannii have higher multiple-antibiotic resistance,the finding prompting us to project prospective control strategies.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between 24-hour ambulatory pulse pressure (24hPP), 24-hour ambulatory pulse pressure index (24hPPI), night-time ambulatory pulse pressure index (NPPI) and coronary artery disease (CAD) occurrence in hypertension patients. Methods: A total of 305 subjects received ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in our hospital from 2016-05 to 2016-07 were enrolled. Base on ABPM information, 24hPP, 24hPPI and NPPI were calculated to analyze their relationship to CAD occurrence. 24hPP was defined by 24-hour mean systolic blood pressure (24hSBP) minus 24hDBP, 24hPPI by the ratio of 24hPP/24hSBP and NPPI by the ratio of night (22:00-6:00) PP/SBP. Results: There were 222/305 (72.8%) subjects with hypertension. Compared with normotension subjects, hypertension patients had increased 24hPP: (49.0±11.6) mmHg vs (42.2±7.4) mmHg, P<0.001, 24hPPI: (0.39±0.06) vs (0.37±0.05), P=0.004 and NPPI: (0.40±0.07) vs. (0.38±0.06), P=0.009 respectively. 116/222 (52.3%) hypertension patients suffered from CAD. Compared with non-CAD patients, CAD patients presented elevated 24hPP: (50.9±12.2) mmHg vs (47.0±10.6) mmHg, P=0.013, 24hPPI: (0.41±0.07) vs. (0.38±0.06), P<0.001 and NPPI: (0.42±0.07) vs. (0.38±0.06), P<0.001 respectively. Among 83/305 (27.2%) normotension subjects, the above indexes were similar between CAD patients and non-CAD subjects. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that with adjusted age, gender, body mass index (BMI) and antihypertensive medication, 24hPPI [OR=1.95, 95% CI 1.11-3.44, P=0.020] and NPPI [OR=2.21, 95% CI 1.28-3.82, P<0.01] were related to CAD occurrence. ROC curve analysis showed that 24hPPI and NPPI were superior to 24hPP for CAD screening and prediction in hypertension patients. Conclusion: 24hPPI and NPPI were closely related to CAD occurrence in hypertension patients, they were both helpful for CAD screening and prediction in hypertension patients.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between blood pressure variability and ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) in both normal subjects and hypertensive patients.
Methods: A total of 280 consecutive subjects without antihypertensive medication were studied. All subjects received ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and AASI was calculated as 1 minus the regression slope of diastolic blood pressure value vs systolic blood pressure value according to ABPM recording.
Results: ① There were 161 subjects with male gender, 138 patients with hypertension, and the average age was (50.4 ± 13.3) years.②Pearson analysis indicated that AASI was related to age (r=0.272, P<0.001), 24-hour mean pulse pressure (r=0.504, P<0.001) , nocturnal diastolic blood pressure dipping (r=-0.334, P<0.001) and standard deviation of 24-hour diastolic blood pressure (r=-0.520, P<0.001).③AASI in anti-dipper hypertensive patients was higher than that in dipper patients, P<0.05;while AASI between dipper and non-dipper patients, dipper and extreme-dipper patients were similar, P>0.05 respectively.④Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that with adjusted age, gender, BMI and blood pressure, AASI was independently related to 24-hour mean pulse pressure (β=0.003, P<0.001), nocturnal diastolic blood pressure dipping (β=-0.001, P<0.05), standard deviations of 24-hour systolic blood pressure (β=0.032, P<0.001) and 24-hour diastolic blood pressure (β=-0.064, P<0.001), standard deviation of 24-hour heart rate (β=0.006, P<0.001).
Conclusion:AASI is closely related to blood pressure variability, it’s a comprehensive index for arterial stiffness and blood pressure variability.
