Objective:To analyse the drug resistance of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia(Sm) for rational application of antibiotics in clinics. Methods:Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were processed by K-B method, metallo-?-lactamases (MBLs) were screened by synergic method, and extended-spectrum ?-lactamases (ESBL) were detected by double disk synergy test. Results:42 Sm strains were completely resistant to imipenem, highly resistant to cefotaxime (CTX), amikacin (AMK), aztreonam (ATM) and piperacillin-tazobactam (TZP) (the resistance rates were 92%,83%,78% and 64%, respectively). They showed low resistance rates to sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim(SMZ/TMP), cefoperazone/sulbactam(CFS), ciprofloxacin (CIP) and ticarcillin/clavulanate (TIM)(26%,16%,12% and 9%, respectively). There were 71.43% strains of Sm producing ESBL, 80.95% producing MBL, and 57.14% producing both ESBL and MBL. Conclusion:There are many kinds of mechanism contributing to the drug resistance of Sm, to which more attention should be paid by clinicians.

Objective The aim of this study was designed to investigate the changes of macrophages and activated microglias in white matter damage (WMD) in premature infants and effects of allopurinol. Methods An animal model for WMD was established by bilateral carotid artery occulation (BCAO). Forty-two newborn SD rats (1 day old) were divided randomly into 3 groups: sham surgery group (Sham), BCAO group (BCAO) and allopurinol treated group (ALLO). Pathological changes were studied 7 days and 14 days after BCAO, respectively. Macrophages and activated microglias were detected by immunohistochemistry 7 days and 14 days after BCAO, respectively. Results In BCAO group, Ten cases had mild or severe rarefaction in the corpus callosum area, especially at the cingulum. Pathological changes of white matter were found in 4 cases in internal capsule. Eight cases had subcortex white matter rarefaction. The extent of white matter rarefaction in ALLO group was reduced significantly. Enlargement of bilateral ventricles was found in 6 of 8 cases in BCAO group. Compared to BCAD group [(3.27±0.73)%] the average ventricle size was reduced significantly in ALLO group [(2.44±0.71)%] (P<0.05). ED1 positive cells were found in corpus callosum,hippocampus, and internal capsule in all groups. BCAO group had more ED1 positive cells than the other two groups, and the staining extent in BCAO group was stronger than that in the other two groups. Conclusions BCAO could be used in newborn rats (1 day old) to establish a premature WMD animal model. Macrophages and microglias may play an important role in premature WMD. ALLO may have a potential protective effect on premature SD rat with ischemic WMD.

AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of orbital decompression in the treatment of Graves ophthalmopathy. ·METHODS: Totally 55 patients 77 eyes with Graves eye disease were selected in our hospital from February 2011 to February 2016. All eyes underwent orbital decompression, the visual acuity, exophthalmos and complications of the patients were followed up for 6mo. · RESULTS: Postoperatively 6mo, the best corrected visual acuity were 0. 23±0. 09, which were better than that of preoperative 0. 46±0. 07(P<0. 05). Postoperatively 6mo, the degree of exophthalmos of the patients were 16. 20 ± 1. 99mm, which was significantly lower than that preoperative 20. 13±1. 87mm (P<0. 05). Postoperative CAS score was ≤3 points in 56 eyes ( 73%) , significantly increased compared with preoperative 15 eyes (19%), the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05). There were 50 eyes ( 65%) with color vision disorder before operation;after operation, 42 eyes (55%) had significant improvement in visual impairment, and there was no change in the eye in 8 eyes (10%). Postoperatively 6mo, the average decreased degree of exophthalmos were 3. 87±1. 03mm;5 cases were found postoperative diplopia, new diplopia rate was 10%;followed up for 3mo, diplopia disappeared. ·CONCLUSION:Orbital decompression is an effective method for the treatment of Graves ophthalmopathy, but attention should be paid to postoperative complications such as diplopia.

Objective:To compare the maxillary sinus mucosa's stress distribution when elevated by three lift materials.Methods:Three Finite element models of maxillary sinus mucosa with 0.3 mm thickness elevated by implant,grafting autogenous cancellous bone and hydroxyapatite respectively were established in the specific units.ANSYS finite element analysis software was used to evaluate maxillary sinus mucosa deformation by the simulated closed sinus lift surgery.Differences of Von Mises stress values of mucosa surface were calculated when maxillary sinus mucosa lift height was increased from 1 mm to 5 mm according to the a large deformation theory. Results:The Von Mises stress values on membrane surface elevated by implant,grafting autogenous cancellous bone and hydroxyapa-tite bone substitute materials showed no difference within 5 mm elevation.Conclusion:Closed maxillary sinus floor lifting operation with implant elevating the maxillary sinus membrane directly is a simple and minimally invasive way for sinus floor elevation.

Objective To compare the difference of three methods testing the antibiotic susceptibility of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa in order to provide accurate and reliable antibiotic susceptibility result for clinic.Methods A total of 630 mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa were collected from Linyi People′s Hospital during January 2015 to December 2016.They mainly come from respiratory medicine and the most common specimen source was sputum.All specimens were examined in 2 h.The strains isolated from the same patient were discarded.Antibiotic susceptibility was tested by the automatic microorganism analyzer VITEK2 compact, E-test, which was reference method, and K-B disk.The results of three methods were analyzed and compared by χ2 test.Results The result of E-test showed that antibiotic sensitivity of 630 mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa was above 52.7% except for Cefepime (39.2%).The result of K-B disk was compared with E-test, the antibiotic sensitivity of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa to imipenem (72.4% vs 52.7%) and amikacin (48.6% vs 71.1%)had significant difference (χ2=8.283 7 and 10.533 8, P<0.05).The result of VITEK2 compact showed that the antibiotic susceptibility of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa to imipenem(70.8% vs 52.7%), cefepime(60.8% vs 39.2%), gentamicin (87.6% vs 74.1%)and levofloxacin(81.3% vs 65.4%) was significant higher than the result of E-test (χ2=6.935 2,9.331 2,5.885 6 and 6.466 5, P<0.05).For tobramycin, piperacillin/tazobactam and ciprofloxacin, the result of three methods is more consistent.Compared to VITEK2 compact, the consistency between K-B disk and E-test was higher.The rate of very major error and major error were between 0.0%-4.8% (Amikacin 12.2%) and minor error was 4.6%-20.3%.Conclusions The drug sensitivity of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa is different between various methods.The result of K-B disk and E-test using blood MH is more reliable than VITEK2 compact.

Objective To report two childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with t(8;20)(q22;q13) and t(1;8;21)(q32;q22;q22) respectively,as variant t(8；21).Methods Chromosome preparation of bone marrow cells were made using short-term culture and karyotypic analysis was carried out using R and G-banding techniques.Interphase-fluorescence in situ hybridization (I-FISH) and metaphase-FISH (M-FISH) were performed using dual color,dual fusion AML1-ETO probe to detect the AML1-ETO fusion gene.Multiplex RT-PCR was used to demonstrate the expression of AML1-ETO fusion transcript.Results The karyotype of bone marrow cells for these two childhood AML patients were 45,X,-Y,t(8;20)(q22;q13)[12]/46,XY[3](case 1) and 46,XX,t(1;8;21)(q32；q22;q22)[18]/46,XX[2](case 2),respectively.I-FISH and M-FISH confirmed that they all had the AML1-ETO fusion gene and variant t(8;21).The AML1-ETO fusion transcript in both patients was detected by RT-PCR.Conclusion t (8;20)(q22;q13) and t (1;8;21)(q32;q22;q22) are variant t (8;21) in nature.It is important to combine the conventional karyotypic analysis with D-FISH and multiplex RT-PCR to determine the nature and prognosis of AML patients with variant t(8;21).

Objective To explore the feasibility of "immersion program" in French-taught surgical lessons,as to provide multiple educational methods and practical experiences for the application of bilingual education in clinical medicine.Methods Twenty-nine senior students of French-taught class were randomly divided into group A(n=15) and group B(n=14)."Immersion program" and "transitional bilingual education" were employed for group A and group B,respectively for the first half of teaching session,and "transitional bilingual education" and "immersion program" for the second half,respectively.The differences between the two bilingual education models were compared through quiz.Results In the prior 2 of the 4 quiz,the scores of French quiz and the total scores were much higher in "immersion program" group,and there were significant differences between the two groups(P0.05). Conclusion "Immersion program" helps to improve the ability of presentation,comprehension and application of French in the precondition of equal educational content,and it will be more beneficial when accessing the "immersion program" on the basis of "transitional bilingual education".
