Objective To explore the clinical presentation,etiology of sepsis,common positions of in-fection and anti-infectious treatment of pediatric acute leukemia with septicemia resistance to carbapenem. Meth-ods A retrospective chart review of all pediatric acute leukemia with septicemia cases of Beijing Children 's Hospital from December 2011 to September 2015 were analyzed. All cases were selected based on the clinical presentation,at least one Gram-negative bacteria positive result of blood culture and were resistant to carbapen-em. The basic clinical characteristics and the results of blood culture and antimicrobial susceptibilities were ana-lyzed. Results All 45 cases with fever,among them 8 cases under went continued fever,The other 37 cases fe-ver days were ( 6. 1 ± 5. 2 ) d. Twenty-six cases had agranulocytosis. Agranulocytosis time from 2 to 79 days, mean days(15. 2 ± 16. 2)d. Significant difference of fever time between agranulocytosis team and non-agranulo-cytosis team was significant(P=0. 011). Twenty-three cases had infection positions among 45 cases. Lung,di-gestive tract,mouth and crissum were the common positions of infection. The quantum of blood culture samples were 711 parts. There were 162 parts resistant to carbapenems. The primary pathogens were pseudomonas aerugi-nosa,klebsiella pneumoniae, enterobacter cloacae and Escherichia coli. Among those 45 cases, 36 cases were cured,9 cases were ineffective treatment. Conclusion Pseudomonas aeruginosa, klebsiella pneumoniae, enter-robacter cloacae and Escherichia coli accounted for the most of G-bacteria infections resistant to carbapenem in our center. The incidence of septicemia was related to the level of granulocyte and duration of agranulocytosis.

Objective To measure hepatic ultrasonic integrated backscatter (IBS) in healthy rabbits as a non-invasive quantitative diagnostic means for hepatic steatosis, hepatic fibrosis, and liver cirrhosis; to determine the factors that may influence the IBS measurement. Methods Thirty-five healthy New Zealand white rabbits with normal liver function tests and normal liver biopsies were used in this study. HP Sonos 5500 image system with quantitative analysis function was used for IBS measurement. With the machine setting fixed, and optimal image obtained, left and right liver were divided into near, medial and far areas according to the depth. Further the measurements of IBS in different depth were performed respectively. Meanwhile, in the same liver the IBS image was collected and the change of IBS intensity was measured in various setting of machine index (MI), time gain compensation (TGC) and lateral gain compensation (LGC). Results Average image intensity (AII) of left liver (from near to far areas) was ( 25.38? 2.36)dB, ( 26.32? 2.38)dB, and ( 26.45? 2.28)dB, respectively. The AII of the right liver (from near to far areas) was ( 24.99? 2.23)dB, ( 24.92? 2.59)dB, and ( 25.38? 2.36)dB, respectively. The average standardized AII of image in left livers was significantly higher than that of the right (P

Objective To investigate the epidemiology of fungemia and provide evidence for clinical therapy.Methods A retrospective survey was conducted with 42 cases of fungemia in our hospital from Jan 2002 to Jan 2011.Results Forty cases candida fungemia accounted for 95.2％ in 42 fugemia.The main pathogen agent was non-Candida albicans in candida fungemia,which were candida albicans(14.3％),candida parapsilosis (38.1％),candida glabrata (35.7 ％),candida tropicalis (2.4％).Eleven uneffecfive cases accounted for 26.2％.Multiple-factor analysis showed that neutropenia time ＞ 7 days,antibiotic using time ＞ 7 days and fungal infection history correlated with bad prognosis.Our study also showed that chemotherapy regiments including hormone、combining with other organs fungal infection and non-Candida albicans were risk factors of bad prognosis.Conclusion The main pathogen agent of fungimia is candida,especially non-Candida albicans.Neutropenia time ＞ 7 days,antibiotic using time ＞ 7 days and fungal infection history correlate with poor prognosis.
