OBJECTIVE To investigate drug-resistance status of Klebsiella pneumoniae in county hospital and provide the reference for rational application of antibiotics.METHODS Drug-resistance was analyzed by K-B methods.The ESBLs producing strains were detected by disc confirmed test.RESULTS The detection rate of ESBLs producing K.pneumoniae was 34.7% in our hospital.Among 216 strains of K.pneumoniae,the susceptibility rates to imipenem and meropenem were all 100.0%.And the resistant rate to amikacin was 25.0%.The resistant rates to the other 9 antibiotics were all over 30.0%.CONCLUSIONS Drug-resistance status of K.pneumoniae is very serious in county hospital.We should think highly of monitoring and controlling drug-resistance of clinical strains in order to prevent breaking out and surveillance.

OBJECTIVE To study the infection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa after brain operation and drug-sensitivity.METHODS The system of BBLCrystalTM MIND-Crystal identification and Chinese software were used to identify P.aeruginosa.Drug-sensitivity was performed by K-B methods in accordance with NCCLS.RESULTS Totally 261 specimens were isolated from 126 patients during Mar to Dec 2005.From them 99 strains of P.aeruginosa were detected from specimens of 38 patients.There were 50 strains from phlegm,20 strains from suction in trachea,6 strains from urethral catheterization,8 strains from vein catheter,and 15 strains from wound excretion.Seventy seven strains(77.7%)were isolated during the peak period of May to August.Strains that were isolated in the same period possessed uniform drug-sensitivity results,which hinted epidemic of the same clone of P.aeruginosa in the Deparment of Cerebral Surgery.Drug-sensitivity results showed P.aeruginosa had been resistant to the common antibiotics.CONCLUSIONS Infection with P.aeruginosa after brain operation and drug resistance have already been serious,so we should think seriously of it.

Objective To explore the role of estradiol decline in the early luteal phase (the 2nd day after oocyte retrieval) in the prediction of in-vitro fertilization outcomes. Methods A total of 236 cases under in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET)/ intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer(ICSI-ET) cycles were included in this retrospective study of their medical records. The cases were divided into three groups according to the levels of estradiol decline on the 2nd day following OPU: group A (n = 70) with the decline rate of less than 70%, group B (n=114) with the decline rate of 70%~80%and group C (n=52) at the decline rate of more than 80%. The comparisons were done among the three groups in terms of the number of oocyte retrieval, the rate of fertilization, the rate of best oocytes and the rate of miscarriage. Results There were no significant differences statistically in the number of oocyte retrieval, the rate of fertilization, the rate of best oocytes and the rate of miscarriage (P > 0.05). But the rates of clinical pregnancy rate in groups A and B were significantly higher than that in group C (68.6% and 68.4% vs. 44.2%) (P < 0.05). Conclusion The levels of estradiol declines in the early luteal phase may be important in the prediction of IVF outcomes.
