Objective To investigate the profile and antibiotic resistance of bacteria in patients with ascites infection in intensive care unit (ICU) patients in order to provide a reference for rational clinical use of antibiotics. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted. The bacteria isolated from ascetic fluid patients admitted from January 1st, 2004 to October 31st, 2015 to ICU of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University were identified, and their susceptibility to antibiotics was analyzed. Patients, who were admitted from January 1st, 2004 to December 31st, 2009 were assigned to group A, and patients admitted afterwards were assigned to group B. Results A total of 637 specimens of ascetic fluid were examined, with 185 positive culture (29.0%) during the 12 years, and 203 strains of bacteria were found. Among them 126 strains (62.1%) of gram-negative bacteria (G-), 54 (26.6%) of gram-positive bacteria (G+) and 23 (11.3%) strains of fungi were found. Compared the result of group B with that of group A, the proportion of G- bacteria was increased [71.2% (99/139) vs. 44.2% (27/64)], and that of G+ decreased [17.3% (24/139) vs. 46.9% (30/64)] in group B. The difference was statistically significant (χ2 = 20.34, P = 0.001). The main pathogenic bacteria were G-, and Enterobacteriaceae was the most common pathogenic bacteria in intra-abdominal infection of ICU patients. The isolation rate of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae(35.7%, 10.3%) ranked in the first and third in G- bacteria, respectively. The resistant rate of Escherichia coli against penicillin and third generation cephalosporin were > 95.0% and > 73.3%, and it showed a sensitive rate of 70% to β-lactam/inhibitor, amikacin and minocycline, and a higher sensitivity to carbapenems and tigecycline (11.1%, 0). Forty-eight strains of non-fermentation bacteria were found with a rate of 23.7%. The positive rates of Acinetobacter baumannii in groups A and B were 7.8% (5/64) and 23.7% (33/139), respectively, and they ranked first among non-fermentation bacteria. Twenty strains (62.5%) multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii were found. Acinetobacter baumannii showed a resistance rate of 84.6% to cefoperazone/sulbactam, 35.3% to minocycline, and 53.3% to tigecycline. Candida albicans was the most commonly isolated fungus in intra-abdominal infections (87.5%). No strains resistant to common antifungal drugs were isolated. Conclusions G- bacteria was the main pathogen in intra-abdominal infection in patients with ascites. Non-fermenters showed an increasing trend of producing infection, and the proportion of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infection increased year by year, and more attention should be taken by attending doctors.

Objective:To analyze the difference of immune damage between patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) and patients with tsutsugamushi disease.Methods:A prospective case-control study was conducted. Thirty-one patients with SFTS and 16 patients with tsutsugamushi disease admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from October 2014 to June 2017 were enrolled, and another 10 healthy people were enrolled as control. The counts of CD4 + and CD8 + T lymphocytes, and the proportion of CD3 + T lymphocytes, natural kill cells (NK cells), B lymphocytes and plasma cells were detected by flow cytometry. Thirty-four inflammatory mediators were determined by a multiplex Luminex? system synchronously. The differences of lymphocytes and cytokines between the two groups were compared. Results:The proportion of CD3 + T lymphocytes, the counts of CD4 + and CD8 + T lymphocytes in SFTS patients were significantly lower than those in patients with tsutsugamushi disease ( t values were 4.860, 9.411 and 5.030, respectively, all P < 0.01), and the proportion of NK cells and B lymphocytes were significantly higher than those in patients with tsutsugamushi disease ( t values were 2.344 and 5.896, respectively, both P < 0.05). The proportion of plasma cells in peripheral blood of SFTS patients was (7.7±1.2)%, the highest proportion of plasma cells in severe SFTS patients was up to 30%, and all patients showed λ monoclonal cell group in plasma cells. No plasma cells were detected in tsutsugamushi disease patients. The abnormal expressions of interleukin-1 receptor antibody (IL-1RA), interleukin (IL-6, IL-15, IL-10, IL-8), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), γ-interferon (IFN-γ), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), eosinophil chemotactic factor (Eotaxin), IFN-γ-inducible protein-10 (IP-10), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP-1α, MIP-1β), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-AA, PDGF-AB/BB), activated regulatory normal T cells and secretion factors (RANTES) were found in patients with SFTS and tsutsugamushi disease. The levels of IL-1RA, IL-6, IL-15, IL-10, TNF-α, IFN-γ, G-CSF, Eotaxin, IL-8, IP-10, MCP-1 and MIP-1α in SFTS patients were significantly higher than those in patients with tsutsugamushi disease ( Z values were 2.312, 2.447, 3.660, 5.444, 1.965, 2.402, 2.402, 2.997, 3.525, 2.481, 3.817, and 2.211, respectively, all P < 0.05), while PDGF-AA, PDGF-AB/BB and RANTES were significantly lower than those in patients with tsutsugamushi disease ( Z values were 3.728, 2.514, 2.649, respectively, all P < 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that RANTES, PDGF-AA and PDGF-AB/BB levels were significantly positively correlated with the level of platelet in patients with SFTS and tsutsugamushi disease (SFTS: r values were 0.223, 0.365, 0.330; tsutsugamushi disease: r values were 0.263, 0.632, 0.407, respectively, all P < 0.05). In SFTS patients, compared with the survival group ( n = 21), the CD3 + and CD4 + T lymphocytes in the death group ( n = 10) significantly decreased, while the plasma cells significantly increased ( t values were 3.980, 3.314 and 26.692, respectively, all P < 0.01); IL-1RA, IL-6, IL-15, IL-10, TNF-α, IFN-γ, G-CSF, Eotaxin, IL-8, IP-10, MCP-1, MIP-1α and MIP-1β significantly increased, while PDGF-AA, PDGF-AB/BB and RANTES significantly decreased ( Z values were 3.930, 4.014, 2.832, 3.592, 2.958, 3.508, 2.578, 3.254, 4.270, 3.465, 2.663, 3.085, 3.107, 3.639, 3.043 and 3.825, respectively, all P < 0.05). Conclusions:The immune function was impaired more seriously in SFTS patients than that in tsutsugamushi disease patients. Excessive humoral immunity and apoptosis of T lymphocytes are closely related to the death in SFTS patients. The detection of CD4 cells, plasma cells and proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines (e.g. IL-6, IL-10) had great clinical significance for the differentiation and illness evaluation in disease with SFTS or tsutsugamushi disease.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect difference between first-line treatment with epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI) and chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) rare mutation.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was performed. Data of NSCLC patients with rare EGFR mutation who were treated in Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital from January 2013 to October 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. EGFR mutations in living tissues or blood were detected by using amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR) before first-line treatment. According to first-line treatment methods,they were divided into EGFR-TKI treatment group and chemotherapy group. Objective remission rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) of both groups were compared. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw progression-free survival (PFS) and the overall survival (OS) curves. Log-rank test was used for comparison among groups. Single-factor and multi-factor Cox proportional risk models were used to analyze the influencing factors of PFS and OS.Results:A total of 169 patients with EGFR rare mutations were included, and the age [ M (IQR)] was 63 years (12 years); there were 96 cases (56.8%) < 65 years and 73 cases (43.2%) ≥65 years; 70 (41.4%)males and 99 (58.6%) females; 55 cases (32.5%) had EGFR G719X mutation,45 cases (26.6%) had L861Q mutation, 17 cases (10.1%) had S768I mutation, and 52 cases (30.8%) had complex mutation; 55 cases (32.5%) received the first-line chemotherapy and 114 cases (67.5%) received the first-line EGFR-TKI treatment. In the chemotherapy group, ORR was 36.4% (20/55) and DCR was 85.5% (47/55); in EGFR-TKI treatment group, ORR was 72.8% (83/114) and DCR was 90.4% (103/114). The ORR of EGFR-TKI treatment group was higher than that of chemotherapy group ( χ2 = 20.70, P = 0.001), and there was no statistically significant difference in DCR between two groups ( χ2 = 1.76, P = 0.184). Subgroup analysis showed that ORR in EGFR-TKI treatment group with G719X, L861Q and complex mutations was higher than that of the corresponding mutations in chemotherapy group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05), while there were no significant differences in DCR among subgroups (all P > 0.05). The median PFS time was 9.7 months (95% CI: 6.0-13.4 months) and 3.8 months (95% CI: 3.1-7.1 months), respectively in EGFR-TKI treatment group and chemotherapy group, and there was a statistically significant difference in PFS between the two groups ( P < 0.001). The median OS time was 25.6 months (95% CI: 18.0-37.9 months) and 31.7 months (95% CI: 18.0-42.8 months), respectively in EGFR-TKI treatment group and chemotherapy group, and there was no statistically significant difference in OS between the two groups ( P = 0.231). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that brain metastasis [with vs. without: HR = 2.306, 95% CI: 1.452-3.661, P < 0.001] and the first-line treatment methods (EGFR-TKI vs. chemotherapy: HR = 0.457, 95% CI:0.317-0.658, P < 0.001) were independent influencing factors for PFS of NSCLC patients with EGFR rare mutation; brain metastasis (with vs. without: HR = 2.087, 95% CI: 1.102-3.953, P = 0.024; unknown vs. without: HR = 2.118,95% CI: 1.274-3.520, P = 0.004) were independent influencing factors for OS of NSCLC patients with EGFR rare mutation. Conclusions:Compared with the first-line chemotherapy, EGFR-TKI first-line treatment could improve objective remission and PFS of NSCLC patients with EGFR rare mutation, while no OS benefit is observed.
