In order to survey antibiotic resistance of clinical isolates carbapenem-resistant A cinetobacter baumannii in Meizhou and to investigate resistance mechanism and molecular epidemiological characteristics ,a total of 210 non-duplicated clinical isolates of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii from January 2012 to December 2012 were collected .The K-B disk diffusion method was applied for the drug-susceptibility test ,a modified Hodge test was used for the screening of carbapen-emase ,PCR was used to amplify carbapenemase genes (including IMP ,VIM ,OXA-23 ,OXA-24 ,OXA-51 and OXA-58) ,and the positive products were sequenced .Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus PCR (ERIC-PCR) was used for DNA typing and test of homology .Our results on the percentage of strains resistant for antibiotics tested were higher than 60% except for polymyxin B was 0 .48% .There were 163 positive strains by the modified Hodge test ,accounting for 77 .62% .OXA-51 gene was identified in 198 strains (94 .29% ) ,OXA-23 in 165 strains (78 .57% ) ,and VIM in 9 strains (4 .29% ) ,OXA-24 ,OXA-58 and IMP gene was not identified by PCR amplification .Seven genomic types were included in the 210 carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii .The major prevalence types were Type A (97 strains) ,Type B (44 strains) and Type H (25 strains) . In conclusion ,multiple drug resistance of clinically isolated carbapenem-resistant A cinetobacter baumannii is a serious problem in Meizhou .Production of OXA-51 ,OXA-23 and IMP carbapenemases is an important mechanism of resistance to carbapenem antibiotics ,and there is prevalence of the same clones in these carbapenem-resistant strains .

Objective To analyze the detection rate and drug resistance tendency of Acinetobacter (A .) baumannii in Meizhou area during 2008-2012 in order to provide the guidance for clinicians′medication .Methods The detection rate and drug resistant rate of A .baumanii in the clinical specimens submitted from 5 hospitals in Meizhou during 2008 -2012 were retrospectively ana-lyzed .The antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed by the disk diffusion method .The WHONET 5 .4 and SPSS18 .0 soft-wares were adopted to analyze the data .Results The detection rates of A .baumanii in these five years were 12 .91% ,15 .40% , 11 .94% ,13 .59% and 14 .00% respectively .In the sources of strains ,sputum had the highest distribution rate of 68 .99% (1 713/2 483) ,in the distribution of departments ,ICU had the highest distribution rate of 33 .91% (842/2 483) .The resistance rate of A . baumannii to cefoperazone/shubatam ,meropenem and imipenem were below 30% in the five years ,but showed the upward tenden-cy .The 5-year total drug resistance rates of A .baumanii to 18 kinds of antibacterial drugs were statistically different between ICU and non-ICU department (P<0 .05) ,the drug resistant rate of isolates from ICU was higher than that from the non-ICU depart-ments .The isolation rate of multi-drug resistant strains of A .baumanii was fluctuated in about 50% during these five years except the lower isolation rate in 2008 ,the isolation rate of pan-drug resistant A .baumanii and carbapenem resistance A .baumanii showed the upward tendency .Conclusion The drug resistance rate of A .baumanii is gradually increased .The drug resistance monitoring of A .baumanii in ICU should be strengthened .Antimicrobial agents should be reasonably used for maximizing to retard the emergence of drug resistant strains .

This study preliminarily discussed the TCM syndrome types of myasthenia gravis (or flaccidity) and its treatments and prescriptions through consensus method,providing evidence and level revision of the recommended expert consensus of myasthenia gravis in TCM clinical practice guideline.Literatures over TCM syndrome types,symptoms,therapeutic regime,medication and acupuncture were involved in the syndrome analysis of myasthenia gravis through literature retrieval.The common clinical syndromes were outputted by mentioned rate.Ten first-rate hospitals were finally included,such as The Affiliated Hospital of Changchun University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine,Guangdong Province Traditional Chinese Medical Hospital and Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.Twelve experts in aggregate were confirmed to participate in the discussion for the identification of the TCM syndrome types,treatments and prescriptions of myasthenia gravis.As a result,five TCM syndrome types,such as syndrome of spleen and stomach qi deficiency,syndrome of spleen-kidney deficiency,deficiency syndrome of both qi and yin,syndrome of deficiency and sinking of qi,were confirmed;while five therapeutic regimes were approved,including reinforcement of qi,tonification of spleen and stomach,tonification of spleen and kidney qi,tonification of qi and yin,the supplement of qi and restoration of yang for ascending qi collapse.In addition,five prescriptions were supported by the experts,such as Bu Zhong Yi Qi (BZYQ) decoction,BZYQ decoction combined with You Gui pills,BZYQ decoction combined with Sheng Mai powders and Sheng Xian decoction.In conclusion,the expert consensus method for the screen of TCM syndrome types of myasthenia gravis embodied the conception of literature research based on the clinical practice combined with the scientific methods in conformity with the current research approaches to TCM syndrome types.

ObjectiveTo identify causal factors of a case of severe Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia in Yangpu District and provide a scientific basis for effective prevention and control. MethodsBasic information and epidemiological data of the patient were collected through telephone interviews and field epidemiological surveys. Specimens from the patient, close contacts and the environment were collected for pathogen detection. Metagenomics next-generation sequencing (mNGS) was used to identify unknown pathogens. ResultsA 65-year-old male patient with a history of hypertension and diabetes was admitted to the hospital with symptoms of fatigue, poor appetite for a week, fever and cough for four days. A chest computer tomography (CT) scan showed scattered inflammation in the left lung with infiltration of multiple lobes. Blood gas analysis showed type I respiratory failure. The results of mNGS on the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of the patient indicated that he was infected with Chlamydia psittaci. Epidemiological investigation showed a clear history of avian exposure, with an incubation period of 30 days. ConclusionThis serious pneumonia is a zoonotic disease caused by Chlamydia psittaci. A clear history of avian exposure and the use of mNGS technology can help in the timely diagnosis of this disease.
