OBJECTIVE To study the existence of the ?-lactamase gene produced by multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from respiratory tract. METHODS Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested by K-B method. A modified three-dimensional test was used to detect the ?-lactamase phenotypes. The genotypes were analyzed by PCR amplification and product sequencing. RESULTS ?-Lactamases were detected in 29 out of the 46 isolates. Twenty-one isolates produced AmpC ?-lactamase,two of them harboring CARB-3 gene. Two isolates produced ESBLs harbored TEM gene. Six isolates produced other type of ?-lactamases. Four out of 6 harbored CARB-3 gene and three IMP gene. The oprD2 gene was deleted in 34 isolates. CONCLUSIONS Chromosomal-mediated AmpC ?-lactamase is the major ?-lactamases produced by multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa and CARB-3 is second. Lack oprD2 gene is popular.

Objective To observe and contrast the effects of dexmedetomidine and ketamine on the restlessness and analgesia during recovery period of anesthesia after tonsillectomy in children. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ child patients underwent tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy were randomly divided into three groups, group P (appropriate amount of placebo was given in the operation), group D (dexmedetomidine) and group K (ketamine). Data of mean arterial pressure and heart rate of three groups were documented before anesthesia (T0), during extubation (T1), 5 min (T2), 10 min (T3), 15 min (T4) and 30 min (T5) after extubation were recorded. The analepsia time, adverse reactions, restlessness score and pain score were collected in three groups of patients. Results Compared with group P, values of mean arterial pressure and heart rate were more stable at T1, T2 and T3 in groups D and K (P<0.05). The restlessness score, incidence of restlessness and adverse reactions were lower in groups D and K than those in group P (P<0.05), and which were lower in group D than those of group K (P<0.05). Conclusion Both dexmedetomidine and ketamine can play an analgesic role in recovery period of anesthesia and reduce restlessness, adverse reactions and pain score in child patients. Moreover, dexmedetomidine is more effective on inhibiting restlessness and adverse reactions.

Objective:To explore the prognostic value of quantitative plaque analysis and coronary CT angiography (CCTA) derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) in evaluating plaque progression (PP).Methods:A total of 118 consecutive patients who underwent serial CCTA examinations in Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University from December 2013 to December 2017 were retrospectively enrolled. There were 37 patients in the PP group and 81 patients in the non-PP group. All patients′ CCTA images were quantitatively analyzed using plaque analysis software. The quantitative analysis parameters included stenosis degree, plaque length, total plaque volume, calcified plaque volume, non-calcified plaque volume, minimum lumen area, remodeling index(RI) and plaque burden. Plaque progression was defined as plaque burden change rate>1%. CT-FFR analysis was performed using cFFR software and the CT-FFR value was measured at 2-4 cm distal to the coronary lesion. Baseline parameters between the two groups were evaluated using Students t-test, U-test, chi-square test. The logistic regression model was conducted to evaluate the relationship between CCTA derived parameters and PP. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis with the areas under the curve (AUC) was used to determine the predictive performance of different CCTA parameters. Results:Compared with the non-PP group, the patients were older( t=2.391, P=0.018), the prevalence of hyperlipidemia was higher(χ2=4.550, P=0.033), and the proportion of statins use was lower (χ2=4.764, P=0.029) in the PP group. The PP group showed greater coronary stenosis, smaller minimum lumen area, larger plaque volume and non-calcified plaque volume, larger remodeling index and lower CT-FFR value on baseline CCTA (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that RI(OR=2.714, 95%CI:1.078-6.836)and CT-FFR (OR=2.940, 95%CI:1.215-7.116) were independent predictors of PP. The model based on CCTA stenosis degree, quantitative plaque features and CT-FFR (AUC 0.83, 95%CI: 0.75-0.90; P<0.001) was significantly better than the model based on CCTA stenosis degree (AUC 0.62, 95%CI: 0.52-0.70, P=0.049) and the model based on CCTA stenosis degree and quantitative plaque characteristics (AUC 0.77, 95%CI: 0.68-0.84, P<0.001). Conclusions:Compared with the prediction model derived on stenosis degree, plaque quantitative markers and CT-FFR can improve the prediction value of PP.RI and CT-FFR were important predictors of PP.

Objective To investigate the effect of graded motor imagery ( GMI) therapy combined with rou-tine occupational therapy on the recovery of upper extremity function after stroke. Methods Thirty stroke survivors who met inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to a control group ( n=15) or a GMI group ( n=15) . The control group received routine medication, conventional physical therapy and routine occupational therapy ( one hour a day) , while the GMI group received 30 minutes of routine occupational therapy and 30 minutes of graded motor imagery therapy every day in addition to conventional medication and physical therapy. Before and after four weeks of treat-ment, the patients in both groups were evaluated using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment for the Upper Extremities ( FMA-UE) , the Box and Block Test ( BBT) and Brunnstrom arm and hand staging. Surface electromyography of the biceps brachii and triceps brachii was performed as the affected elbow flexed and stretched in maximum isometric contrac-tions, and the co-contraction ratios ( CRs) were calculated. Results After the treatment, the average FMA-UE score, Brunnstrom arm and hand stage, BBT and CR scores in both groups had improved significantly. The average improvement in the GMI group was significantly greater than in the control group. Conclusions Graded motor im-agery therapy can significantly promote motor recovery of the upper extremities of hemiplegic patients after a stroke.

Objective:To investigate the effect of image quality, degree of stenosis, calcification, and their first-order interactions on diagnostic performance of coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR).Methods:This is a reanalysis of data from a multi-center retrospective cross-sectional study of CT-FFR in China. A total of 522 patients with suspected or known coronary heart disease [mean age: 61.6 (34.0-83.0) years, 71.8% (354/493) were male] from 11 medical centers including the General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command from May 2015 to October 2019 were enrolled. All patients underwent coronary CT angiography (CCTA), CT-FFR, and invasive FFR examination. Subjective image quality scores of target vessels were recorded on CCTA images, and stenosis was visually assessed at the lesion level. Calcification arc and calcification remodeling index (CRI) were recorded for each lesion. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were compared. Two-way analysis of variance was used to analyze the first-order interaction effects of image quality, degree of stenosis, and calcification.Results:A total of 493 patients with 629 lesions with invasive FFR as a reference were included in the study. The overall sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of CT-FFR were 80.4%, 93.8%, and 88.6%, respectively. The specificity (95.0% vs. 87.3%, χ2=4.11, P=0.043); accuracy (90.1% vs. 81.9%, χ2=6.22, P=0.013); and NPV (89.7% vs. 80.9%, χ2=4.25, P=0.039) of the group with image quality ≥3 was higher than the group with image quality <3. The degree of stenosis affected the sensitivity, PPV, and NPV of CT-FFR and the calcification arc affected the specificity of CT-FFR (all P>0.05). The specificity (95.8% vs. 90.5%, χ2=4.23, P=0.040); accuracy (91.0% vs. 86.1%, χ2=4.01, P=0.045); and NPV (91.1% vs. 83.8%, χ2=5.10, P=0.024) of the group with CRI<1 were higher than that of the group with CRI≥1. In the subgroup of mild and severe stenosis, no calcification, and CRI<1, the accuracy of CT-FFR with image quality ≥3 points were higher than that with image quality <3 points. The accuracy of CT-FFR in the moderate stenosis group was mainly affected by CRI; the accuracy of CT-FFR in the group with CRI<1 was higher than that in the group with CRI≥1 (after Bonferroni correction, P values between groups were statistically significant). Conclusion:Subjective image quality, degree of stenosis, calcification of lesions, and their first-order interactions can all negatively affect the diagnostic performance of CT-FFR.

Objective To investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on the behaviors, organizational morphology and the expression of protein kinase R-like ER kinase (PERK) in rats with spinal cord injury. Methods Thirty-six male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal group, sham group, model group and HBO group, with nine cases in each group. The normal group did not receive any treatment, the sham group received only laminectomy, and the other two groups were established spinal cord injury model with modified Allen's method. Six hours after operation, the model group was treated with regular air, and HBO group received HBO treatment for seven days. The recovery of locomotor function was evaluated by BBB (Basso Beattie and Bresnahan) on the day before operation and six hours, three days, seven days after operation. HE staining was used to observe the change of tissue morphology in injured spinal cord, and the expression of PERK in spinal cord was detected by Western blotting. Results There was no neurological deficit in the normal group and the sham group. The neurological score was lower in the model group than in the sham group three days and seven days after operation (P < 0.05), and was higher in HBO group than in the model group seven days after operation (P < 0.05). There was no obvious structural change in the normal group and the sham group, however, the model group showed swelling cells, condensed cytoplasm, and nucleus pycnosis hyperchromatic, and the HBO group showed slighter swelling cell compared with the model group. The expression of PERK was higher in the model group than in the sham group, and was lower in HBO group than in the model group seven days after operation (P < 0.05). Conclusion HBO could reduce the expression of PERK in the injured spinal cord, and improve the recovery of hind limb locomotor function in spinal cord injury rats.
