OBJECTIVE To estimate the distribution of pathogens of nosocomial infection in intensive care units,the sites where infections often taken place and the related antibiotic-resistance of bacteria.METHODS Various samples of bacteria from intensive care units have been examined by applying half-automatic analyzer ATB Expression,with bacteria inspecting cards and drug-sensitivity cards,all from Bio-Merieux,France.RESULTS Totally 153 strains of nosocomial pathogens have been found,where Acinebacter baumannii,fungi and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ranked top three,with rates of 32.0%,16.3%,and 15.0%,respectively.About 45.8% of pathogens were found in samples from the lower respiratory tract.Approximately 4.3% of A.baumannii showed drug-resistance to imipenem.However,more than 50.0% of A.baumannii presented its strong drug-resistance to rest of eight regular antibiotics.CONCLUSIONS A.baumannii is a dominating pathogen to cause nosocomial infection in intensive care units,and has shown strong multi-drug-resistance,which should incur high clinical attention.It comes to be crucial to highlight sanitization and sterilization operation,applying proper antibiotics in order to reduce appearance of bacteria with drug-resistance.

Objective To discuss the application effect of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)and QRS wave in nursing intervention of postmenopausal women with heart failure.Methods 85 postmenopausal women with heart failure in our department were chosen.43 patients in the control group were given routine nursing,42 patients in the observation group were given pertinent nursing according to BNP concentration and QRS wave.The alleviation rate of symptoms,reoccurrence rate of heart failure,mortality rate,NP concentration and QRS wave time limit and hospitalization days were compared between two groups.Results The reoccurrence rate of heart failure,mortality rate,NP concentration and QRS wave time limit and hospitalization days in the observation group were lower than those of the control group,but the alleviation rate of symptoms was higher than that of the observation group.Conclusions To give pertinent nursing according to BNP concentration and QRS wave for postmenopausal women with heart failure can alleviate symptoms,decrease attack of heart failure,shorten hospitalization days,improve cardiac function and prognosis,which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To study the microbial strains,risk factors and resistance profiles of lower respiratory tract fungal infection in hospital of Zhoushan archipelago area.Methods A total of 204 patients who were hospitalized for lower respiratory tract infection were retrospectively analyzed from May 2008 to April 2011 in Zhoushan archipelago area,and collected 204 fungal strains isolated from confirmed lower respiratory tract fungal infection cases.Chi-square test and Logistic regression analysis were performed.Results Among the 204 fungal strains isolated from lower respiratory tract specimens,110 (53.8％) strains of Candidaalbicans,32 (15.7％) strains of Candida tropicalis,24 (11.8％) strains of Candida glabrata,12 (5.9％) strains of Candida krusei,14 (6.9％) strains of other Candida,and 12 (5.9％) strains of Aspergillus were detected.Logistic regression analysis showed that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,bacterial pneumonia,long-term use of broadspectrum antibiotics and corticosteroids,endotracheal intubation or incision,old age,exposure in intensive care unit (ICU),and hospitalization ≥7 days were major risk factors (P=0.000,0.001,0.000,0.000,0.012,0.000,0.000,0.000).The resistance rates of isolated Candida against amphotericin B,5-flucytosine,voriconazole,itraconazole and fluconazole were 0,2.1％,4.2％,14.8％ and 22.9％,respectively.Conclusions Candida albicans is the major pathogen of lower respiratory tract fungal infection in hospital of Zhoushan archipelago area,and Candida is sensitive to amphotericin B,5-flucytosine and voriconazole.
