Methods Bacterial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were?performed?with?MicroScan?WalkAway?96?PLUS?bacterial?identification?system.?All?the?data?were?analyzed?by?WHONET5.6?software. Results A total of 1499 clinical isolates were collected during 2015, of which gram positive organisms and gram negative organisms accounted for 24.7% and 75.3%, respectively. Prevalence of MRSA among S. aureus was 37.0% and MRCNS among CNS 86.3%. All (100%) Staphylococcus and E. faecalis isolates were susceptible to vancomycin, daptomycin and linezolid. About 2.8% of the E. faecium isolates were resistant to vancomycin. All the Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates were penicillin-susceptible, mainly isolated from children. The prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) positive strains was 52.9% in E. coli, 30.8% in Klebsiella spp. (K. pneumoniae and K. oxytoca) and 25.0% in P. mirabilis. The ESBLs-positive strains showed higher resistance rate than ESBLs-negative strains to most antibiotics. The percentage of the P. aeruginosa isolates resistant to meropenem and imipenem was all 29.4%. The percentage of the Acinetobacter spp. (A. baumannii accounted for 85.5%) strains resistant to imipenem and meropenem was 63.0% and 64.5%, respectively. Conclusions Antibiotic resistance is still serious in Chuzhou First Hospital in 2015, especially the emerging carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, which is of great concern.

Objective To investigate the current prevalence of depressive disorder and the associated factors in pa?tients with essential hypertensive from cardiovascular divisions of tertiary general hospitals. Methods A Chinese version of Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fourth Edition) Axis I Disor?ders was conducted by five mental health professionals on 876 essential hypertensive outpatients at cardiovascular divi?sions of tertiary general hospital. Data on the socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of these hypertensive pa?tients were also collected. Results The current prevalence of depressive disorders among essential hypertensive outpa?tients of tertiary hospitals was 16.6%(145/876). Risk factors for depressive disorders in hypertensive patients included fe?male gender (OR=2.817, 95%CI:1.161~6.885), being 65-year-old and older (OR=1.747, 95%CI:1.118~2.688), non-marital status (OR=2.023, 95%CI:1.203~3.398), gradeⅢhypertension (OR=1.776, 95%CI:1.226~2.333) and car?diovascular diseases (OR=2.018, 95%CI:1.427~2.587). Conclusion Essential hypertensive outpatients, who receive med?ical services at cardiovascular divisions of tertiary general hospital, have high prevalence of depressive disorders. Clini?cians should pay more attention to the mental health of outpatients with essential hypertension.

BACKGROUND:Percutaneous vertebroplasty, percutaneous kyphoplasty and expandable pedicle screw fixation can treat primary osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures. The three methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the methods and clinical effects of primary osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures. METHODS:Clinical data of 61 patients with primary osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures were col ected and retrospectively analyzed. Perioperative preparation must be done. Al patients were treated by percutaneous vertebroplasty, percutaneous kyphoplasty and expansive pedicle screw fixation. We recorded Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) before treatment, 3 months after treatment, as wel as sagittal index (SI) and Cobb angle of vertebral fracture before treatment, 3 days and 3 months after treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Al cases were fol owed up for 12-18 months. (2) There was no significant difference in VAS scores, ODI, SI and Cobb angle of vertebral fracture among the three groups of patients preoperatively. (3) At 3 months after treatment, there were significant differences in VAS scores and ODI in the three groups as compared with that preoperation (P<0.05). However, no significant difference in VAS and ODI was determined among intergroup comparison (P>0.05). (4) SI and Cobb angle of vertebral fracture were significantly increased;the difference was statistical y significant (P<0.05). The efficacy was similar between the percutaneous kyphoplasty and expansive pedicle screw fixation groups (P>0.05), and was better than the percutaneous vertebroplasty group (P<0.05). (5) Three kinds of treatment can effectively restore the vertebral height and intensity, relieve pain and stabilize the spine, and no significant vertebral compression was found in the short term. However, restoration of postoperative vertebral height was better in percutaneous kyphoplasty and expansive pedicle screw fixation groups than in the percutaneous vertebroplasty group. In view of their respective indications, advantages and disadvantages, the key point of raising therapeutic effect was to choose appropriate surgical procedures.

Objective To identify whether soybean isoflavones plays a role in the prevention of chronicallograft nephropathy(CAN)in rats.Methods Forty-five male Lewis rats as receptors were randomly divided into 3 groups,receiving a diet with protein from high isoflavone soy protein fraction (HIS),low isoflavone soy protein fraction(LIS)or casein(CAS)starting one week before renal transplants from fisher donors,and continuing throughout the study.Serial serum and urine samples were collected at the beginning of the study,and at 4th,12th and 24th week.All rats were killed and the grafts were harvested in the 24th week.The functional and histopathogical changes of renal grafts were evaluated.Results In HIS group,arteria caudilis systolic blood pressure(SBP)value,24 h uri- nary protein(Upro)and serum creatitine(Cr)concentrations were significantly lower than those in LIS and CAS groups(all P

Obiective To discuss the diagnosis value, limitations and mutual complement of MRI and TDUI in the fetus. Methods, TDUI and MRI was performed in 24 cases pregnant women that suspected fetus congenital malformation by Ultrasound examination, the examination results were compared by MR1 and TDUI with the clinical results.Results The 9 cases congenital malformation of 24 cases pregnant women were found by MRI. The 9 cases were confirmed and 3 cases were more sufficient by MRI. The one case examined by MRI was normal other than Ultrasound examination. Conclusion MRI is superior to Ultrasound in diagnosing malformation of nervous system. The Ultrasound and the TDUI in particular is better in finding the surface malformation than MRI. In clinical application, MRI and Ultrasound must be connected to make up the limitation and have a definite diagnosis.

AIM: To investigate the effect of high and low shear stress on endothelial permeability and tight junctions(TJs). METHODS: Rabbit abdominal aortas in normal and high fat diet groups were stenosed to 60.7%?7.0% of original cross areas, they were sacrificed after 7 days, and the arteries were stained with Evans blue and Sudan Ⅳ. TJs were investigated with freeze fracture. RESULTS: The non-stenosis aortas were negative, there are 1 mm-wide constant and circular positive areas proximal and distal to the stenosis and scattered, dotted and patched positive areas within 8 mm distal to stenosis. Freeze fracture reveals that in the hyperpermeable regions, the percentages of zonular type of TJs and the numbers of strands of TJs of zonular and macular types in the distal regions are significantly lower than those in the proximal regions (P

AIM: To study the effects of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor(ACEI) on elastase after balloon injury. METHODS: The carotid arteries and aortas twelve-weeks-old Wistar male rats were injured by balloon catheter. The rats were divided into experimental and control groups in which ACEI (temocapril-HCl,10 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 ) and the vehicle were administered 2 days before injury respectively and the animals were sacrificed on day 2, 3, 5 and 10, respectively. In situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry and elastase activity bioassay were used for studying elastase . RESULTS: The intimal area on day 10 in the experimental group was significantly suppressed compared to that in the control rats( P
