OBJECTIVE To survey the drug resistance variation of pathogens.METHODS We analyzed all of the pathogens isolated from Jan 1998 to Dec 2005 and the drug resistance results.WHONET5 software was used to analyze the data.RESULTS A total of 19 832 strains of pathogens were detected for eight years.There was ascending tendency in ESBLs and MRS.The ratio of strains and resistance also varied.The general trend was that the order of Staphylococcus was going up and the order of non-fermented and fermented bacteria was ascending alternately.CONCLUSIONS The resistance variation of pathogens in our hospital consists with the global tendency of bacteria resistance.Of course it has its own characteristics.The resistance surveillance should be continued especially for ESBLs,MRS,VISA and VRSA.

Objective To improve microbial specimen detection rate before therapeutic antimicrobial use.Methods A system of selective targeted management by clinical department was established,before management was as control group (July-September 2013),after management was as intervention group(October-December 2013),microbial specimen detec-tion in patients before antimicrobial use was compared between before and after management.Results Of all hospitalized pa-tients,11 254 received therapeutic antimicrobial agents,3 426 were sent specimens for microbial detection,the specimen detection rate was 30.44%;specimen detection rate in control and intervention group was 28.80% and 31.89% respective-ly ,the difference was significant(χ2 =12.71,P <0.05).3 716 patients(46.61%)received restrained antimicrobial therapy, and 1 418 (79.20%)received special antimicrobial therapy,compared with control group,the difference were both signifi-cant(χ2 =32.86,19.31,respectively,both P <0.05).Conclusion Applying selective targeted management can improve microbial specimen detection rate before therapeutic use of antimicrobial agents.

ObjectiveTo investigates the heat conduction characteristic of three kinds of needle in human soft tissue chronic injury and to research the mechanisms of silver needle therapy.MethodsIron needle and silver needle in different delimiters were used in 23 patients with low back pain and their skin temperature were tested.ResultsThe change of temperature in two kinds of iron needle was not significantly different(P>0.01),but that of the silver needle significantly rised(P>0.01).ConclusionThe heat conduction characteristic of silver in human soft tissue was better than that of iron needle. The better heat conduction characteristic of silver in human soft tissue maybe related to the better therapy effects.

OBJECTIVETo examine the expression of periodontal ligament-associated protein-1 (PLAP-1) in the periodontal tissues and periodontal ligament cells (PDLC).

METHODSThe PLAP-1 expression in normal periodontal tissue was examined by immunohistochemistry. The protein expression and mRNA transcription of PLAP-1 in PDLC were investigated by immunocytochemistry and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.

RESULTSPLAP-1 was expressed in periodontium but not in cementum, alveolar bone and gingival tissues. PLAP-1 expression was observed in cell plasma, but not in nuclei. There was a 350 bp electrophoresis band representing PLAP-1 mRNA.

CONCLUSIONSPLAP-1 may play a role in physiology of periodontal tissues and cells in normal adult rats.

OBJECTIVETo establish chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA) for quantitative detection of procollagen III N-terminal peptide (P III NP) in serum.

METHODSA sandwich reaction was preformed with horseradish peroxidase labeled monoclonal antibody of P III NP as the catalytic enzyme and the luminol as the luminescence reagent. Several reactions liquid's concentration and reaction conditions were optimized. The method was evaluated in all aspects such as linear range, sensitivity, specificity, stability and so on. The CLEIA was compared with imported ELISA kits, by detecting clinical serum.

RESULTSThe linear range was 0.8-85 ng/ml. The detection limit was 0.5 ng/ml. Inter-assay and intra-assay RSD were both less than 10%. The recoveries of three different spiked concentration samples were 96.2%, 91.2% and 101.1%. After stored at 4 degrees C and 37 degrees C for 3, 5, 7 days, the analysis showed correlation coefficient higher than 0.99 and RSD lower than 6%. The detected results of clinical sera with CLEIA closely corresponded to those with imported ELISA.

CONCLUSIONEstablished CLEIA for quantity determination of serum P III NP has high accuracy, sensitivity and repeatability.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the mechanism of imatinib mesylate (IM) induced-resistance in the patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and treated with imatinib.

METHODSEight patients with GIST treated with IM developed secondary IM resistance. A total of 16 tumor samples (pre-IM therapy) and 11 tumor samples (post-IM treatment) were available. Exon 9, 11, 13, and 17 of c-kit gene as well as exon 12 and exon 18 of PDGFRA gene were sequenced.

RESULTSIn addition to the changes of baseline genotype, the IM-induced gene changes were concentrated in the kinase domain of c-kit gene in all 8 patients, 2 of them were located in the exon 13 of c-kit gene presenting with V654A, while 6 in exon 17 involving 816 and 820 to 823 codons.

CONCLUSIONThe mechanism of imatinib mesylate resistance after initial treatment with this agent in gastrointestinal stromal tumors is a novel mutation development in kinase domain of c-kit.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the feasibility of the operation of minimal invasive with gallbladder preserved via choledochoscopy.

METHODSFrom February 1992 to June 2006, there were 760 patients who underwent cholecystolithiasis treated with the minimal invasive operation with gallbladder preserved via choledochoscopy, among which there were 428 males and 332 females, aged from 18 to 81 years old. All cases were diagnosed by ultrasonography and their gallbladder functions were proved normal by the examination of oral cholecystography or ECT before operation. In the operation gallstones were removed from gallbladder completely.

RESULTSThere were 612 cases who were followed up for 1-15 years and the follow-up rate was 80.5%. All patients recovered well after operation. The post-operation rate of recurrence of gallstone was 0.49%, 4.39%, 5.83%, 6.60%, 7.21% and 8.38% within the first year, the second year, the third year, the fifth year, the seventh year and the ninth year respectively, rate of recurrence of gallstone were 10.11% within both the tenth and the fifteenth year.

CONCLUSIONSThe minimal invasive operation with gallbladder preserved via choledochoscopy is effective to cholecystolithiasis patients whose gallbladder function is normal. It is a feasible operation that preserves the normal functional gallbladder and improves the patients' life quality.
