Objective To assess the efficiency of algae extermination by the combined copper electrolysis technology. Methods The combined copper electrolysis technology and copper sulphate were used to treat the Synechocystissp strain PCC6803 in the steady stage of culture in different time and the efficiency of algae extermination was assessed. Results No alga in the water sample was detected after 0.5 and 1 hour of treatment with copper electrolysis technology and copper sulphate respectivly as the concentration of Cu2+ was at 0.3 mg/L. The extermination rate of algae was 80.75% after 12 days of treatment of combined copper electrolysis. This technology could effectively decrease the turbidity, smell, COD, ammonia nitrogen and increase the dissolved oxygen in the treated water. Conclusion The Cu2+ released by copper electrolyzing has a stronger efficiency of algae extermination compared with copper sulfate. The combined copper electrolysis technology will be a satisfactory method for algae extermination in the landscape water.

Objective To observe the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and sensitivity to antibiotics of nosocomial infections caused by acinetobacter baumannii. Methods Data were retrospectively collected from all isolated 37 strains acinetobacter. The clinical features, results of suptum culture and test of drug sensitivity were reviewed. Results The 37 acinetobacter baumannii strains mainly distributed in intensive care unit (ICU), most of them had the risk factors of receiving invasive treatment, mechanical ventilation, ect. The antibiotics imipenem, amikacin, pipercillin/tazobactam showed good efficacy for patients with acinetobacter infection, but other antibiotics had highly drug resistant rate. 5 were dead. The mortality of nosocomial infections caused by multi-drug resistant acinetobacter was 41.7%, which was much higher than the non-multi-drug resistant's (2 dead, the mortality was 8%). Conclusion Acinetobacter is one of the most important multi-drug resistant pathogen in nosocomial infections. Antimicrobial agents should be chosen according to antimicrobial susceptibility teat results. Patients who have the risk factors of nosocomial infections caused by acinetobacter should have suptum culture and antibiotic susceptibility studies as soon as possible.
