Chinese Journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases 2008;1(5):265-270
Objective To investigate the correlation of Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) infection with tubal pregnancy by Meta-analysis. Methods Eligible literatures were searched from Chinese websites cnki,wanfangdata and eqvip from 1998 to 2007. Meta-analysis was conducted for the correlation of Ct infection with tubal pregnancy by software RevMan 4.2, and the results were expressed as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Results Thirty-five articles were retrieved, of which 16 were included in the Meta-analysis. The combined ORs of Ct infections in cervix uteri and in uterine tube to tubal pregnancy were7.14 (95% CI: 5.20-9.80) and6.50 (95% CI: 4.52-9.34), respectively. Conclusions There are significant correlation between Chlamydia trachomatis infection and tubal pregnancy.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current situation of sporadic hepatitis E and analyze its epidemiologic feature among inpatients in our hospital from 2002 to 2004. METHODS The clinical records of inpatients with positive results of HEV-IgM and diagnosed for sporadic hepatitis E during the period of Jan 2002 to Dec 2004 were analyzed with epidemiological method. RESULTS Totally 329 inpatients′ HEV-IgM antibody was positive among(4 641) detected inpatients′ sera.There were 239 male inpatients who accounted for 72.64% and(90 female) inpatients who accounted for 27.36% of the total inpatients whose HEV-IgM antibody was positive.There were 272 inpatients,presenting rate of 82.67%,comed from rural areas and 57 inpatients,presenting rate of 17.33%,comed from urban areas.The case rate of sporadic hepatitis E was respectively 4.92%,6.93% and 9.17% from 2002 to 2004.

OBJECTIVE To analyze infection state and drug resistance feature of Staphylococcus spp with a view of offering references for controlling and treating infection led by it.METHODS Totally 652 strains of Staphylococcus isolated from patients with infection were identified and their drug resistance was analyzed.RESULTS From them 204 strains were Staphylococcus aureus and 448 strains were coagulase negative Staphylococcus detected and the isolating rate of MRSA and MRCNS were respectively accounted for 55.4% and 84.6%.The most common coagulase negative Staphylococcus strains were S.haemolyticus and S.epidermidis.The drug-resistant rates of MRS were higher transparently than MSS.CONCLUSIONS Staphylococcus are one of the main pathogens leading to nosocomial infections.As a result, it is very important to use antibiotics properly for infection control and nosocomial infection management.

Objective To investigate the relationship between bacteria biofilm and bacterial culture in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Methods Ninety patients with CRS were enrolled in the study. Five patients with deviation of nasal septum and 10 healthy subjects served as controls. Mucosa of uncinate process or near the ostium of the maxillary sinus was obtained during endoscopic sinus surgery. All specimens were processed for bacterial culture and scanned by electron microscopy. Pearson test was performed to analyze the relationship between the presence of bacterial biofilm and the results of bacteria culture. Results The scanning electron microscopy showed bacterial biofilms in 64 (71.1%) out of 90patients with CRS, while the positive rate of bacteria culture in the study group was 66.7% (60/90). No bacterial biofilm and bacterium was detected in the control group and 26 culture-negative individuals in study group. Pearson correlation analysis showed a statistically association between bacterial biofilm and bacterial culture in CRS ( r = 0. 901, P = 0. 000). Conclusion Positive results of bacteria culture are highly correlated with the presence of bacterial biofilm in CRS patients.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of low-dose and long-term clarithromycin in treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with positive bacterial biofilms.Methods Seventy-seven patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and positive bacterial biofilms underwent functional endoscopic sinusitis surgery between January 2008 and December 2009 in department of otolaryngology of Jinhua Central Hospital.Fortytwo patients were treated with clarithromycin 250 mg/d orally for at least 3 months (trial group).At the end of 3 months patients received endoscopic examination,for patients with mucosal epithelialization the clarithromycin therapy was stopped; for those with mucosal edema,granulation or polyoid formations the clarithromycin treatment was continued,but no longer than 5 months.Thirty-five patients in control group were not given clarithromycin.All patients were assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS) and nasal endoscopic examination (Lund-kennedy score) 6 months after surgery,the results were compared between two groups.Results Two patients in the trial group did not complete the protocol.VAS score and Lundkennedy score in trial group were 8.0 ± 0.8 and 3.6 ± 1.3 at 6 month after surgery respectively,while those in the control group were 7.3 ± 0.7 and 4.5 ± 1.7,and the differences were of statistical significance (t =5.311 and-3.187,P < 0.01).Conclusion Low-dose and long-term oral administration of clarithromycin has positive impact on the prognosis of bacterial biofilms positive patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.

Objective To observe the bacterial biofilm in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), and to investigate the possible relationship between biofilm and clinical factors. MethodsSixtynine patients with CRS ( study group), 15 patients with nasal septum deviation and 10 patients with nasal bone fracture (control group) were enrolled in the study. Mucosa specimens of uncinate process or ethmoid near the ostium of the maxillary sinus were obtained during endoscopic sinus surgery. The specimens were subjected to scanning electron microscopy. All patients were evaluated by questionnaire of chnical factors based on sino-nasal outcome test-20. SPSS 10. 0 was used for statistical analysis, and the relationship between bacterial biofilm and clinical factors was evaluated by Chi-square test. ResultsBacterial biofilms were found in 49 patients ( 71.0% ) with CRS. A marked destruction of the epithelium and cilia was observed in all samples of study group. No bacterial biofilm was found in the control group, and scanning electron microscopy showed normal epithelium and cilia in those specimens. Chi-square test showed that bacterial biofilm was not associated with clinical factors (gender, staging, course, nasal obstruction, phlegm, nasal discharge with stinking smell, headache, bloody nasal discharge and olfactory degeneration) in CRS. ConclusionsBacterial biofilms and destruction of the epithelium and cilia can be obscrved in CRS patients, which may be involved in the pathogenesis of CRS, but the formation of bacterial biofilm is not correlated with the clinical factors in CRS.

OBJECTIVE[corrected] To evaluate the method and technique of single-port laparoscopic radical nephrectomy.
METHODSForm January 2009 to September 2011, 22 patients with renal carcinoma were treated with single-port laparoscopic radical nephrectomy. An incision about 5 cm in length was made through the umbilicus or in the postaxillary line under the 12th rib to establish the peritoneal or retroperitoneal working space. A single-port cannulation was deployed and the operation was carried out using standard and crooked laparoscopic equipment.
RESULTSThe operations were completed successfully in all the 22 cases without conversion to open surgery, but additional trocar was needed in 5 cases. The mean operative time of radical nephrectomy was 150 min (90-240 min). The mean postoperative hospital stay was 7.6 days (3-15 days). The operation left a roughly 5-cm-long scar in all the cases.
CONCLUSIONSingle-port laparoscopic radical nephrectomy is safe and feasible with good cosmetic effect and shows much potential in radical resection of renal carcinoma.
