OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational drug use and hospital infection control. METHODS:AmpC enzyme-producing Enterobacter cloacae were isolated from non-sputum specimen of a hospital during Jan. 2011-Oct. 2017. Drug sensitivity test was conducted by using MIC. The situation of AmpC enzyme production was confirmed by three dimensional test, and that of ESBLs-producing stain was detected with double-disk synergy test. RESULTS:There were 546 strains of AmpC enzyme-producing E. cloacae isolated from non-sputum specimen of the hospital,accounting for 4.80% of non-sputum specimen (546/11 375)and 38.97% of E. cloacae(546/1 401). Top 3 non-sputum samples in the list of detection rate were wound secretion (27.29%),midstream urine(25.82%)and blood(21.79%),and the departments with high detection rate were ICU(22.89%), neurosurgery department(18.68%)and general surgery department(16.67%). Resistance rate of AmpC enzyme-producing E. cloacae to most commonly used antibiotics was higher than 40%. There was statistical significance in resistant rate of the bacteria to ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, gentamicin, nitrofurantoin, levofloxacin, piperacillin/tazobactam, cefoperazone, ceftazidime,cefepime,tobramycin and minocycline among different years (P<0.05). The resistant rate to imipenem and meropenem was lower than 2%. Among 546 strains of AmpC enzyme-producing E. cloacae,68 strains of ESBLs were detected,and detection rates were 5.77%,6.06%,8.70%,10.26%,13.79%,17.35%,18.75% during 2011-2017. CONCLUSIONS:AmpC enzyme-producing E. cloacae are mainly isolated from samples as wound secretion and midstream urine,and mainly come from ICU and neurosurgery department. The drug resistance of the bacteria is severe,and drug resistance of the bacteria to antibiotics as β-lactams and quinolones is increased significantly. The detection rate of ESBLs-producing strain increases year by year. The bacteria are sensitive to carbapenems antibiotics,which can be regarded as first choice. It is necessary to strengthen drug resistance and enzyme production monitoring of AmpC enzyme-producing E. cloacae,select antibiotics combined with results of drug sensitivity test so as to prevent or delay the rapid increase of its resistance rate.

Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)is the brain injury caused by asphyxiation in the perinatal period.HIE is a serious health-threatening disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality,and there is no effective treatment for the disease.Melatonin is a neuroendocrine hormone,which is synthesized primarily by the pineal gland.The synthesis and seretion of melatonin are regulated by light intensity.Melatonin has a high affinity for the central nervous system,which can easily penetrate the blood-brain barrier and blood placental barrier.It has been found that melatonin has functions in regulating the sleep cycle,antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.Melatonin has also been shown to regulate lipid and glucose metabolism.Recent research suggests that the melatonin appears to be a versatile anti-oxidative,anti-inflammatory,anti-apoptotic agent,as well as a molecule with regulation of mitochondrial function and autophagy process,and plays a neuroprotective role in HIE.Therefore,this review focuses on the established mechanisms of injury brain protection,progress of animal studies and clinical trials of melatonin in HIE,to provide references for its clinical application.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between concurrent myocardial bridge at anterior descending branch and the formation of coronary atherosclerosis plaques by using transluminal attenuation gradient (TAG). Methods A total of 198 patients underwent coronary CTA in Renji Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medcine from June 2017 to March 2018 and the results showed the anterior descending myocardial bridge. The data were retrospectively analyzed. All patients completed the coronary CTA with 320?row detector CT. According to the manifestations of myocardial bridge on CTA,the patients were divided into deep and superficial myocardial bridge groups. According to whether the patients were complicated with coronary atherosclerotic plaques, they were divided into isolated myocardial bridge group and myocardial bridge with coronary atherosclerotic plaque group. The thickness and length of myocardial bridge, the volume of coronary atherosclerotic plaques at the site of myocardial bridge, the pre?bridge and post?bridge TAG values, and the K ratio were recorded. Independent sample t test (normal distribution) or Mann?Whitney U test (skewed distribution) was used to compare the difference of measurement data among different groups. χ2 test was used to compare the difference of enumeration data among different groups. Pearson correlation test was used to analyze the correlation among pre?bridge and post?bridge TAG values,K ratio,thickness and length of myocardial bridge and plaque volume. The influence of above indexes on plaque occurrence was analyzed by binary logistic regression analysis. The relationship between main influence indexes and plaque formation was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Results Ninety nine patients had isolated myocardial bridge,99 with myocardial bridge and coronary atherosclerotic plaques,27 with superficial myocardial bridge and 171 with deep myocardial bridge. All atherosclerotic plaques occurred in pre?bridge and the mean volume of plaques was (91.6±83.0)mm3. The differences in sex, age, height, body weight and body mass index werenot statistically significant between isolated myocardial bridge group and myocardial bridge with coronary atherosclerotic plaque group (all P>0.05). The difference in pre?bridge TAG value was statistically significant between the isolated myocardial bridge group and myocardial bridge with coronary atherosclerotic plaque group (all P<0.05), but not statistically significant in post?bridge TAG value and K ratio (all P>0.05). The difference in pre?bridge and post?bridge TAG values and K value was not statistically significant between the superficial group and the deep group (all P>0.05). There was a weak negative correlation (r=-0.205,-0.316,-0.339,respectively,P<0.05) between the plaque volume and pre?bridge&post?bridge TAG values and K ratio. The pre?bridge TAG value significantly affected the plaque formation (P=0.014) and the odds ratio was 0.884 (95% CI 0.801 to 0.976). While other factors had no significant effects on plaque formation (all P>0.05). The area under curveof plaque formation promoted by pre?bridge TAG value was 0.582. When the diagnostic critical value was -37.26 HU/mm, the sensitivity and specificity of pre?bridge TAG value in plaque formation were 31.31% and 81.82%, respectively. Conclusion The TAG value of anterior descending bridge is an independent risk factor for plaque occurrence. The abnormal TAG value of anterior descending myocardial bridge can be detected early by CTA.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and risk factors of multidrug-resistant bacteria (multi drug resistant organisms, MDROs) infection in Department of Neurosurgery, and to provide evidence for the prevention and control of MDRO infection. Methods Data from 437 cases of infection in hospitalized patients on January 2012-2016 year in December Third Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into MDROs group and non MDROs group based on the results of MDROs detection. Multi factor Logistic regression analysis model was used to analyze risk factors. Results The infection rate of MDROs was 35.51%, and the detection rate of MDROs was 33.23% . ESBLs, CR-AB and MRSA were the most common bacterial species, and the infection of respiratory tract, urinary tract and wound infection were the main infection sites. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hospitalization time >20 d, level of consciousness (coma), occupancy of ICU ≥7 d, ventilation (invasive), number of antibiotics used≥3, combined use of antibiotics≥3, mechanical ventilation Time≥7 d were possible risk factors for MDROs infection in neurosurgical patients (P<0.05). Conclusion The situation of MDROs infection in neurosurgery is severe. To reduce MDROs infection, it is important to shorten unnecessary hospitalization time, promptly assess and transfer out of ICU as soon as possible, improve microbial examination, avoid frequent change of antibiotics or unnecessary use of use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, reduce unnecessary mechanical ventilation time, change to non-invasive ventilation as far as possible when the condition permits, focus on patients with poor consciousness, and prevent aspiration by mistake.
