Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2016;23(16):2458-2460
Objective To explore the drug fast mechanism on carbapenems of Acinetobacter baumannii,it is important for clinicians to choose appropriate antibiotics.Methods The influence of active efflux inhibitors carbonyl cyanide m -chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP)on minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC)of Acinetobacter baumannii to imipenem(IMP)was measured by agar dilution method.Results At the concentration of 10mg/L,CCCP had obvi-ously effects on carbapenems MICs,the rate of resistance of imipenem decreased from 64.39% to 34.38%.In vitro CCCP enhanced the activities of imipenem.Efflux mechanism existed not only in IMP resistant strains,but also in IMP sensitive strains.But the affection of CCCP against IMP resistant strains was much stronger than that of IMP suscepti-ble strains.Conclusion Efflux pump may be one of the main mechanisms of Acinetobacter baumannii resistance to IMP,while efflux pump inhibitors may partly reduce the resistance.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the validity and feasibility of consecutive three-stage surgical technique of combining auricle reconstruction with external auditory canal atresia reconstruction in patients with congenital microtia-atresia, and to assess the post-surgery results by cosmetic and hearing aspects.
METHODSFrom Sep. 2007 to Jun. 2011, all 74 patients (79 ears) with congenital microtia-atresia treated in our department were enrolled in this study. They consecutively accepted the following three-stage surgical technique: The first stage was Brent' s technique as follows, rib cartilage graft harvest, framework fabrication, and implantation. The second stage combined transfer of the lobule with meatoplasty and tympanoplasty. The third stage was the elevation of the reconstructed auricle. Both the cosmetic and functional hearing results were recorded at follow-ups.
RESULTSAmong these patients, 60 patients (78.5%), 62 ears, acquired extremely satisfactory cosmetic results; 10 patients (16.5%), 13 ears, acquired acceptable cosmetic results; while the remaining 4 patients (5.1%) acquired unsatisfactory cosmetic results. However, the height of elevation of the newly performed auricle framework was not enough due to the existence of newly formed external ear canal. Regarding the hearing results, there were 69 ears with followup audiograms. An air-bone gap (ABG) improvement of 12.5 dB was achieved. The air-conduction hearing threshold improved (10.9 ± 8.2) dBHL, 37 ears (53.6%) achieved serviceable hearing after surgery, with ABG less than 30 dB. There were multiple complications occurred after surgery with the incidence of 49.4% (39/79).
CONCLUSIONSThe combined three-stage surgical microtia and canal atresia reconstruction technique is a viable choice for some suitable patients with microtia-atresia. However, the incidence of complication after meatoplasty is very high and the hearing restoration is not good enough, which need further investigation for the better results.

Objective To observe the effects of the third-stage community-based rehabilitation program on functional recovery of stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods 158 stroke patients with hemiplegia were divided into rehabilitation group and control group. Besides normal medicine and first-stage institution-based rehabilitation similar with that of control, rehabilitation group received a standardized third-stage community-based rehabilitation. They were assessed with the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Modified Barthel Index (MBI) and Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) before, 1 month and 6 months after treatment. Results The scores of the FMA and the MBI of the rehabilitation group were higher than that of the control group (P<0.01), while were lower of the NIHSS and MRS in the rehabilitation group than in the control group at the end of the sixth month (P<0.01). Conclusion The third-stage community-based rehabilitation may improve the recovery of the stroke patients with hemiplegia.
