Objective To investigate effects of mental nursing on psychological state of patients with pneumoconiosis. Methods 160 pneumoconiosis patients were divided into 8 groups randomly,and 20 patients were included in each group. Psychological characteristics were observed before mental nurs-ing, and 15, 30 and 60 days after mental nursing. The numbers of the youth, the middle-aged and the el-derly patients who demonsrated four or more kinds of psychological characteristics after 60 days mental nursing were compared.320 patients of the same kind were divided into the two aspects of mental nursing group and all aspects of mental nursing group, the number of patients who appeared four or more kinds of psychological characteristics after 60 days mental nursing was recorded. Results The number of pneu-moconiosis patients who clearly appeared four or more kinds of psychological characteristics decreased after 15 days, but it had no statistical significance, the number decreased significantly after 30 days and 60 days of mental nursing, and the latter decreased more significantly.Both of the numbers of two aspects of mental nursing group and all aspects of mental nursing group decreased significantly, and the latter decreased more significantly.The number of the youth decreased most significantly, while it had no statistical significance between the middle-aged and the elderly group. Conclusions Mental nursing for the pneumoconiosis pa-tients is a long-term project, comprehensive mental nursing to pneumoconiosis patients has great influence, but the influence varies for patients with different ages.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the epidemiology of bacterial infections isolated from liver disease patients with septic shock and analyze the antimicrobial susceptibility of major pathogens to provide reference for clinical therapy. METHODS A retrospective survey was conducted in 83 liver disease patients with septic shock of our hospital from Jan 2005 to Aug 2006. Identification and susceptibility of pathogens were assayed by MicroScan Auto-4 System. RESULTS The infection was frequently identified in intra-abdominal cavity (73.5%),blood stream (24.1%) or respiratory tract (13.3%). The top 3 pathogens were Escherichia coli (36.6%),Klebsiella pneumoniae (15.9%) and Staphylococcus aureus (6.1%). Gram-negative bacilli were usually resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents,but less resistant to imipenem,levofloxacin or piperacillin-tazobactam. Extended-spectrum ?-lactamases (ESBLs) positive rates of E. coli and K. pneumoniae were 53.3% and 7.7%. Asprergillus and Candida glabrata were the predominant pathogens from fungal infections,and they were mostly resistant to fluconazole. CONCLUSIONS Pathogens of liver disease patients with septic shock are mostly multi-drug resistant. The microbiological surveillance is important for guiding clinical therapy.

OBJECTIVETo document the investigation and control of an outbreak of gastroenteritis in City G, South China, and provide a reference for preventing future outbreaks.
METHODSAn ambispective cohort study was designed. Attack rate (AR) and relative risks (RR) were calculated to identify the causes of gastroenteritis. Investigations using questionnaires included personal interviews with patients and doctors, reviews of medical records, laboratory examinations of fecal specimens and continuous hygiene monitoring of water samples from the waterworks.
RESULTSOverall, 427/71534 (AR=5.97%) cases were identified between October 31 and November 12 2010. Geographic distribution was highly localized, with 80% of cases occurring in the areas supplied by waterworks-A. Consumption of water provided solely by waterworks-A was found to be associated with illness (RR=8.20, 95 CI%:6.12-10.99) compared with that from waterworks-B. Microbiological analyses confirmed the presence of Norovirus in six of eight fecal samples from symptomatic patients, two water samples from waterworks-A and two sewage samples. After taking effective measures, the hygienic indices of waterworks-A met health criteria again on November 9 and no cases were reported 3 days later.
CONCLUSIONThe outbreak reported here was caused by drinking tap water contaminated with sewage at the source. Early identification of possible contamination sources and awareness of changes that might negatively impact water quality are important preventive measures to protect public health.
