Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 2006;0(03):-
OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical distributed features and drug-resistant conditions of pathogenic bacteria in nosocomial infection in the last three years for the reference to clinical drug administration. METHODS Retrospective analysis was performed about drug-resistant conditions of pathogenic bacteria in nosocomial infection in the last three years from 2004 to 2006. RESULTS Totally 488 pathogenic strains, including 289 strains of Gram-negative bacteria (59.22%);95 strains of Gram-positive bacteria (19.47%) and 104 strains of fungi (21.31%),were isolated from patients in the last three years, the isolation rate of fungi,Acinetobacter baumannii and Enterobacter cloacae tended to increase year by year. They resisted to commonly used antibiotics at different degree, the rate of multiple-resistance was 80.33%. CONCLUSIONS Most pathogens isolated from patients with nosocomial infection are Gram-negative bacteria, which always display multi-resistant tendency to routine antimicrobial agents. The culture of pathogenic bacteria and rational use of antimicrobial agents should be emphasized to decrease the incidence of nosocomial infection, the factors which easily caused nosocomial infection should be reduced as well.
2.A research on the assessment of color Doppler ultrasound combined with ultrasonic elastography for curative effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer
China Medical Equipment 2017;14(9):74-77
Objective:To evaluate the value of color Doppler ultrasound combined with ultrasonic elastography for curative effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for breast cancer.Methods: 100 patients with breast cancer who has received NAC were divided intoobservation group (50 cases, underwent examination of color Doppler ultrasound scanner combined with ultrasonic elastography) and control group (50 cases, only underwent examination of color Doppler ultrasound scanner) according to the different examination methods. The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of differential diagnosis methods for curative effect of NAC between the two groups were compared as above data.Results: The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of differential diagnosis for curative effect of NAC in observation group were 88.00%, 90.00% and 86.00%, respectively. While them of control group were 78.00%, 80.00% and 76.00%, respectively. And the differences of these indicators between the two groups were statistically significant (x2=2.01,x2=3.24,x2=3.45, P<0.05).Conclusions: Color Doppler ultrasound combined with ultrasound elastography can diagnose the curative effect of NAC for patients with breast cancer from two aspects which includes tissue hardness and blood supply, and it can achieve more diagnostic accuracy compared with only using simple color Doppler ultrasound.

[Objective]To introduce the safety of the spinal wedge osteotomy by a single posterior approach and to discuss the selection of fusion and fixation. [Method]Sixteen patients with severe post-adolescent congenital spinal deformities were treated by spinal wedge osteotomy by a single posterior approach from February 2000 and July 2006.There were 10 males and 6 females with an average age of 21.4 years(range 16 to 29 years).There were 11 patients with hemivertebre and 5 with fused ribs or bone bridge.Two patients had previous surgery history.The average Cobb's angles of scoliosis and kyphosis before operation were 84.7 ?and 52.6?.The average trunk shift was 15.4 mm.Bony septum in the canal was found in 2 patients on the preoperative CT or MRI.[Result]The follow-up ranged from 2 to 4 years with an average of 2 years and six months.The average fused vertebrae were 10.6 segments(range 8 to 14 segments).The postoperative average Cobb's angles of scoliosis and kyphosis were 38.5 and 27.7.The average correction rates of scoliosis and kyphosis were 54.5% and 47.4%.The average trunk shift was improved to 4.6 mm.There was no significant correction loss of the scoliosis,kyphosis and trunk shift at final follow-up evaluation.No patient developed severe complications except that two had pedicle fracture,one had L1 nerve root injury,one had superior mesenteric artery syndrome and one had exudates of incision.[Conclusion]Spinal wedge osteotomy by the single posterior approach is a reliable and safe surgical technique for correcting severe post-adolescent congenital spinal deformities.

Objective To study the methods of the Chinese New Year (CNY) Factor's Adjustment based on the ARIMA models. Methods First, a common regressor for CNY was created. Then, the re-gressor was included in the seasonal ARIMA regressive model(regARIMA or TRAMO) ,AIC or BIC was used for model selection,and the generalized least squares method or maximum likelihood method was used for the earl-mation of model parameter. The estimated regressive coefficient was used for analyzing the degree of the CNY factor. A case was analyzed with the adjustment methods. Results The analysis on the case showed that the methods of the CNY factor's adjustment could remove the effects of the CNY factor on the time series, and the degree of the effects could be esti-mated in quantity. Conclusion The regressor for CNY is applicable,and the methods of the CNY factor's adjustment based on the ARIMA models can be used in seasonal adjustment on the time series. It's a new approach to analyze the effects of the CNY factor.

Objective To evaluate the operative technique and the short-term clinical results of ce-mentless total hip arthroplasty (THA) for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in adults with high level dislocation. Methods Nine patients (11 hips) with DDH of Hartofilakidis type Ⅲ, who underwent cement-less THA between 1997 and 2002, were analyzed. Of 9 patients, 8 were females, and 1 male with an average age of 29.4 years (range, 17 to 56 years). There were unilateral DDH in 7, and bilateral in 2. The patients had no previous surgery. The preoperative average length difference between the two legs was 4.1 cm (range, 0 to 7 cm). The femoral head was dislocated upward from the normal position by 4.8 cm on average (range, 3.2 to 7.0 cm). The Zweym?ller cup was placed on the original acetabulum in all patients with more than 80% bony coverage on the cup, and no bone graft needed. In 4 hips with more than 5 cm of displacement, the reduction of prosthesis was achieved by shortening osteotomy below lesser trochanter. The preoperative average Harris score was 40.2. Results All of 9 patients were obtained follow-up of X-ray films and clinical evaluation. The follow-up ranged from 6 to 32 months with a mean of 18.2 months, the osteotomy of 4 hips were bony healed at 3 months postoperatively showed by X-ray films. The postoperative average difference of the two leg length reduced to an average 1.1 cm (range, 0 to 3 cm), and the postoperative average Harris score increased to 90. Femoral nerve impairment occurred in 1 case, and recovered 4 months later. There were no loosening, dislocation and infection at follow-up. Conclusion Based on the short-term results of the cementless total hip arthroplasty for the developmental dislocation of the hip in adults with high level dislocation, it is proven to be a good technique, and the satisfied clinical results would be obtained.

2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) and its by-products dinitrotoluene (DNT) pose a significant threat to human health and other living organisms.However, the conventional analytical methods involved in bulky and expensive instruments are complicated and time-consuming, impeding quick and on-line determination.In this work, a facile yet effective strategy of utilizing UV-vis spectroscopy coupled with partial least squares (PLS) was proposed, through which TNT and two isomers of DNT (2,4-DNT and 2,6-DNT) in nature water could be rapidly and simultaneously determined without any pre-separation.Variable combination population analysis (VCPA) was utilized to select important feather variables and significantly improved the predictive performance of the PLS model.The calibration set contained 25 samples constructed by orthogonal array design (OAD).The predictive ability of the models was validated by an independent prediction set including 15 samples, achieving up to 0.99 of the determination coefficients (R2) for each of the analytes.The optimized models were successfully applied to determine the 3 ingredients in 8 environmental samples involving in tap, lake and two kinds of river water with the recovery values of great than 97%.Finally, the proposed method was further validated by high performance liquid chromatography method.UV-vis spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics may be used as simple and effective strategy with high potential in environmental monitoring.
