Objective To investigate the antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical isolates in Fuzhou First People's Hospital during 2015. Methods? The?bacterial?isolates?were?identified?using?ATB?Reader?semi-automatic?equipment?via?colorimetric?method.?The antimicrobial susceptibility was tested by disk diffusion method. The results were interpreted according to the CLSI breakpoints issued in 2015. All data were analyzed by WHONET 5.5 software. Results A total of 1215 non-duplicate clinical isolates were collected during 2015, including gram negative bacteria (70.6%) and gram positive bacteria (29.4%). The prevalence of MRSA was 50.0 % in S. aureus and the prevalence of MRCNS was 84.1 % in coagulase-negative Staphylococcus. Most MRSA strains (80.3?%)?were?resistant?to?erythromycin,?tetracycline?and?norfloxacin.?No?staphylococcal?isolate?was?found?resistant?to?vancomycin?or teicoplanin. The prevalence of ESBLs was 52.5% in E. coli and 34.7% in K. pneumoniae. Ten strains of Enterobacteriaceae were resistant to carbapenems. Less than10% of the P. aeruginosa isolates were resistant to amikacin, cefoperazone-sulbactam, meropenem and tobramycin. About 2.4% and 51.8% of the Acinetobacter isolates were resistant to polymyxin E and cefoperazone-sulbactam, respectively, while more than 75% of these strains were resistant to other commonly used antimicrobial agents. Conclusions Most of the clinical isolates are gram-negative bacilli in our hospital during 2015. Antimicrobial resistance remains an important clinical concern, which should be addressed seriously.

Objective To discuss the diagnostic value of 3D-ultrasound for cord entanglement in monoam-niotic twins. Methods From November 2013 to March 2016,a total of 65 monoamniotic twinsunderwent routine obstetric ultrasonography to screen fetal abnormalities in our hospital. The cord was meticulously observedusing a systematic continuous sequence approach. Fetuses who showed cord entanglement by 2-D ultrasound or 3-D flow Doppler were all recruited. The gestational weeks,fetal malformation,ultrasonic image feature of cord entangle-ment,and clinicaloutcome were recorded and analyzed retrospectively. Results 4 monoamniotic twins showed cord entanglement. Three-dimensional color Doppler clearly delineated thefeatures of entanglement. At following-up of 8 fetuses,3 fetuses were found intrauterine fetal death and 3 fetuses with structural abnormalities except for 2 well infants.Conclusion Cord entanglement may threaten the safety of fetusesin monoamniotic pregnancies.In aid of 2-D ultrasound or 3-D flow Doppler in monoamniotic twins can help to find it in time ,monitor it carefully and provide evidence for obstetric treatment .

Objective To research the incidence and etiological factors of intraocular pressure(IOP)elevation in patients in early and late postop?erative stages after vitrectomy. Methods The clinical data of 235 cases(306 eyes)who underwent vitrectomy in our hospital were respectively ana?lyzed. IOP was measured before operation,in the early postoperative stage(within 2 weeks)and in the late postoperative stage(6 months after opera?tion or longer)by non?contact tonometer. Risk factors related with ocular hypertension happened in the early and late postoperative stages were statis?tically analyzed. Results The mean average IOP before operation was 15.3 ± 4.1 mmHg for the 306 eyes. Within the follow?up period of 6?20 months(mean,14.3 months),ocular hypertension occurred in 42 eyes[incidence,13.7%;mean,31.9 ± 6.0 mmHg]in the early postoperative stage and in 12 eyes[incidence,3.9%;mean,32.1 ± 5.7 mmHg]in the late postoperative stage. Logistic regression analysis revealed that lensecto?my,scleral buckling,cyclophotocoagulation,inert gas filling,silicone oil tamponade and diabetic retinopathy were the independent risk factors of oc?ular hypertension in early postoperative stage after vitrectomy,while lensectomy,scleral buckling,pan retinal photocoagulation,silicone oil tampon?ade,diabetic retinopathy and carotid artery stenosis were the independent risk factors of ocular hypertension in late postoperative stage after vitrecto?my. In addition,cyclophotocoagulation was a protective factor of IOP in the late postoperative stage. Conclusion The risk factors of ocular hyperten?sion after vitrectomy include the intraocular gapfiller,the mode of combined operation,disease type and carotid artery stenosis. IOP elevation that happens in the late postoperative stage is more harmful. Ocular hypertension in the late postoperative stage is not associated with that in the early stage.

Objective To discuss the diagnosis and early intervention treatment of fetal congenital broncho-genic cysts based on the cases reviewed. Methods The clinical features of 7 infants presenting bronchogenic cysts diagnosed antenatally from January 2013 to May 2014 in Guangdong Women and Children's Hospital and Health In-stitute were reviewed retrospectively. Pathology,the prenatal diagnosis and treatment of bronchogenic cysts experience were summarized combined with CT after birth and surgery. Results Based on the prenatal diagnosis of fetal and postnatal CT and surgical pathology,a total of 7 cases with congenital bronchial cysts were diagnosed. Of which 4 ca-ses were suggestive of congenital cystsic adenomatoid malformation by prenatal diagnosis,and the other 3 cases had fetal bronchial cysts by prenatal diagnosis,antenatal diagnosis was accurate in 42. 9%(3 / 7 cases). CT examinations were taken in 7 cases after birth,and the cyst excision was performed on them with surgery thoracic approach;the average age at surgery was(5. 3 ± 1. 7)months. Four cases had simple bronchial cystss,2 cases with congenital cystsic adenomatoid malformation,1 case with congenital pulmonary sequestration. The accuracy of CT diagnosis was 85. 7%(6 / 7 cases). All surgical treatment was effective. Conclusions Fetal bronchial cysts is always associated with the other presence of lung congenital malformations. Prenatal diagnosis of congenital bronchial cysts is difficult. Prenatal diagnosis is difficult to exclude congenital cystsic adenomatoid malformation. To avoid symptoms like oppres-sion,infection,prenatal diagnosis combined with CT examination after birth and early treatment are necessary and reliable clinically.

Objective To explore the clinical features of late-onset neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (LON?MOSD). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed to evaluate 61 patients with LONMOSD admitted to our hospital from January 2010 to May 2015. Results (1) The median age at onset was 57 (53, 63) years, male/female was 1∶3.7. Thirty-two patients (52.5%) had transverse myelitis (TM) and 16 patients (26.2%) had optic neuritis (ON) at the disease onset. Fifty-one patients (83.6%) experienced recurrent attacks. Forty patients (65.6%) showed abnormal brain magnetic resonance imag?ing (MRI). Spinal cord MRI showed more frequently present in thoracic regions (39.3%). (2) There were no significant differ?ences in clinical features between AQP-4 seropositive and seronegative groups. (3) By Spearman analysis, it was obvious that EDSS scores at acute phase and remission were positively correlated to AQP-4 antibody levels (rs=0.389, P<0.01;rs=0.380, P<0.01). But there was no correlation between the mean segments of spinal cord and relapse rates with AQP-4 anti?body levels (rs=0.146, P>0.05;rs=0.096, P>0.05). Conclusion LONMOSD patients are more prone to present with TM at onset and have more lesions in thoracic spinal cord and brain. The AQP-4 antibody titres can indicate the severity of disease in acute phase.
