OBJECTIVETo investigate the pathogen distribution and drug resistance in coal workers' pneumoconiosis associated with pneumonia and to provide a scientific basis for early guidance for rational clinical application of antibacterial agents.
METHODSSeventy-six patients with coal workers' pneumoconiosis associated with pneumonia who were admitted to our hospital from June 2011 to June 2014 were enrolled as subjects. The sputum specimens were aseptically collected for bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests.
RESULTSIn 245 sputum specimens collected from 76 patients, a total of 218 strains of pathogens, including 163 strains of Gram-negative bacilli (74.77%), 39 strains of Gram-positive cocci (17.89%), and 16 strains of fungi (7.34%) were isolated by bacteriological tests. The main Gram-negative bacilli had high rates of resistance to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, ampicillin, cotrimoxazole, cefotaxime, and aztreonam, and were sensitive to amikacin, imipenem, and meropenem. The main Gram-positive cocci had high rates of resistance to penicillin, erythromycin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, ampicillin, cefotaxime, and clindamycin, and were sensitive to vancomycin and teicoplanin.
CONCLUSIONThe main pathogens in these patients with coal workers' pneumoconiosis associated with pneumonia are Gram-negative bacilli, which are highly resistant to common clinically used antibacterial agents. The pathogen distribution and drug resistance should be well understood, and the antibacterial agents should be rationally selected according to the results of drug sensitivity tests.

Objective To investigate the correlation of the 24?hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure (SBP) and carotid intima?media thickness(CIMT) in the elderly. Methods A total of 2 464 who were more than or equal to 60 years old participants were selected with random sampling in accordance with the inclusion criteria from the retired workers in Tangshan Kailuan Company. Dynamic blood pressure monitoring, neck vascular ultrasound and other examination were performed for the participants. . Multivariable linear regression analysis was used to analyze correlation between the SBP of 24?hour, daytime and nightime with CIMT, respectively. Results ( 1) The observation population was divided into three groups according to the tertiles of SBP of 24?hour, daytime and nightime, respectively. With the levels of different SBPs inceasing, CIMT values thickened markedly ( P<0. 01 ) . ( 2 ) Multivariable linear regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors,the SBP of 24?hour,daytime and nightime associated with CIMT positively and linearly(P<0. 05),and regression coefficient(95%CI) were 0. 022(0. 009-0. 035), 0. 021(0. 008-0. 035), 0. 019 ( 0. 006-0. 032) respectively. In addition,clinic SBP step into the multivariable linear regression,and regression coefficient ( 95%CI ) were 0. 016 ( 0. 003-0. 029 ) , 0. 016 ( 0. 003-0. 030 ) , 0. 019 ( 0. 007-0. 032 ) , respectively. Conclusion The effect of increased 24?hour ambulatory SBP on CIMT was greater than the clinic SBP. Active monitoring of 24 h ambulatory blood pressure and maintaining a low level of blood pressure is essential for preventing and delaying atherosclerosis.
