OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of antibiotics in the clinic of our hospital. METHODS:Drug re-sistance of Gram-negative bacillus in the inpatients of our hospital were analyzed retrospectively during May 2013-Dec. 2015 as well as the situation of producing metallo-β-lactamase(MBLs). RESTUTS:A total of 2089 strains of Gram-negative bacillus were detected in our hospital during 2013-2015,among which there were 1456 strains of enterobacteria (69.70%) and 633 strains of non-fermentative bacteria,mainly involving Escherichia coli,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Acinetobacter bau-mannii and Enterobacter cloacae. A total of 406 strains of carbapenems-resistant bacteria were detected (19.44%),including 367 strains of non-fermentative bacteria and 39 strains of enterobacteria. The resistant rates of carbapenems-resistant strains to 16 antibi-otics were all higher than 50%,but those of non-carbapenems-resistant strains were in relative low level. Except for aztreonam,re-sistant rates of carbapenems-resistant strains to other 15 antbiotics were all higher than those of non-carbapenems-resistant strains, with statistical significance(P<0.05). A total of 36 strains of producing MBLs were detected(8.87%),including 13 strains of pro-ducing MBLs drug-resistant P. aeruginosa and 23 strains of producing MBLs drug-resistant A. baumannii;producing MBLs drug re-sistant enterobacteria had not been found. CONCLUSIONS:Gram-negative bacillus are mainly enterobacteria in our hospital;car-bapenems-resistant strains are mainly non-fermentative bacteria,resistant rate of them are commonly higher than that of non-drug-re-sistant strain. The situation of producing MBLs is serious,and enzyme producing strains are mainly non-fermentative bacteria. It is necessary to strengthen drug resistance of pathogen and enzyme producing strain monitoring,avoid the generation and spreading of drug-resistant strains due to irrational use of antibiotics.

Objective To investigate the effect of downregulated activating transcription factor 3 ( ATF3) expression on proliferation of adrenocortical carcinoma cells and its mechanisms. Methods Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of ATF3 in human adrenocortical tumor tissues and cells. Adrenocortical carcinoma cells, Sw-13, and NCI-H259R cells, were transfected with siATF3 using lipidosome 2000, and expression of ATF3 mRNA was determined using RT-PCR; expression of ATF3, cleaved caspase 3, caspase 3, cleaved PARP, and PARP proteins were detected using Western blotting; cell growth inhibition rate and apoptosis rate were monitored using MTT and AnnexinV-FITC/PI, respectively. Sw-13 and NCI-H259R cells were treated with NVP-BEZ235, Perifosine, BKM120, IWP-2, PP2, KN93, Everolimus respectively followed by detected expression of ATF3 mRNA by realtime PCR. The effect of ATF3 on cell proliferation after inhibition of related signaling pathways were detected by MTT. Results The ATF3 in human adrenocortical gland tumor tissues and cells showed high expression. The levels of ATF3 mRNA and protein in Sw-13 and NCI-F259R cells transfected with siATF3 were significantly reduced. Compared with the negative control group ( NC siRNA), siATF3 transfection significantly inhibited the proliferation of Sw-13 and NCI-F259R cells ( P<0. 05 ), and increased the apoptosis rate ( P<0.05). Western blotting shown that the levels of cleaved caspase 3 and cleaved PARP protein in siATF3 transfected cells increased significantly; and realtime PCR results indicated that the expression of ATF3 mRNA was dramatically inhibited by PP2, KN93, and IWP-2 in NCI-F259R cells compared with control group ( DMSO ); but ATF3 significantly promoted the proliferation activity of NCI-F259R cells which treated by PP2, KN93, and IWP-2 signaling inhibitors. Conclusion High expression of ATF3 is existed in adrenocortical carcinoma cells. Downregulated ATF3 expression may inhibit cell proliferation and activate apoptosis pathway, resulting in apoptosis in Sw-13 and NCI-F259R cells, this mechanism of action is related to activating Wnt/β-catenin, CaMKI, and SRC pathway.

Objective To investigate the continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and daytime ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (DAPD) on sleep and quality of life. Methods In this is a multi-center cross-sectional survey, we used the Pittsburgh Sleep Index Scale (PSQI) and the Chinese version of peritoneal dialysis patient quality of life scale, the unified investigating time, the organized trained peritoneal dialysis nurses qualified to conduct research full-time. Survey content includes general information, sleep and quality of life, laboratory tests, dialysis adequacy and other indicators, and the results were pooled analysis. Results A total of 325 hospitalized peritoneal dialysis patients were included in the study, including 177 patients in CAPD, 148 patients in DAPD. The total scores of QOL, physical function, physical factors, psychological status, social function and life satisfaction were (72.61± 10.94), (19.44±3.65), (59.69±7.31), (32.65±5.65), (24.82±6.03), (15.42±5.47)and (74.06±13.59), (20.16± 2.95), (58.99 ± 5.86), (34.58 ± 6.17), (25.10 ± 5.01), (15.36 ± 4.28). The score of CAPD in the mental state dimension was significantly lower than that in DAPD patients (t=-3.715, P<0.01). Else, there was no significant difference between the two groups (P> 0.05). Conclusions Sleep and quality of life in peritoneal dialysis patients are lower than normal adults. Dialysis modes have an impact on sleep andquality of life of patients, health care workers should fully assess the physical and mental state of the patients in order to select the appropriate mode of dialysis.
