OBJECTIVE To investigate the changing pattern of clinical pathogens and the antibiotic resistance.METHODS The statistics of MRSA and MSSA isolated clinically in Hubei Province during from 2002 to 2005 was collected and analyzed.RESULTS The resistance rate of MRSA to various antibiotics was higher than that of MSSA.The resistance rate of MRSA to tetracyclines decreased yearly.CONCLUSIONS Multidrug resistance of MRSA to the most antibiotics is not improving.Vancomycin possesses the strongest activity for MRSA.However,the resistance of MSSA to the most antibiotics is improving.

BACKGROUND:Due to anisotropic CT volume data, triangular meshes extracted from bone CT images often contain staircase surface, which wil affect the subsequent medical diagnosis. OBJECTIVE:To reconstruct patient-specific bone model based on digital geometry processing technique. METHODS:Firstly, registration was performed in image registration algorithm based on mutual information for bone CT slices, and then contours were extracted by image segmentation and a stack of contours were converted into point clouds. The normals of point clouds were estimated based on Gaussian weighted principal component analysis and the noise from point clouds was removed by trilateral filtering. Final y, bone triangular meshes were constructed by adaptive spherical cover. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In this paper, the proposed method could generate smoothing bone surface meshes, triangular mesh shape which was formed by the rules and adaptive distribution, for finite element analysis, computer aided manufacturing and three-dimensional printing to provide accurate three-dimensional models.

Objective To investigate the activation of nuclear factor-B (NF-B)and hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1)in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Methods Subjects were classified into mild-to-moderate OSHAS group (n = 16), severe OSAHS group (n = 14) and the matched control group (n=30). Gene and protein expressions of NF-B and HIF-1 were measured by RT-PCR, Western blot in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Results NF-κB p65 mRNA and NF-κB p65 protein,HIF-1α mRNA and HIF-1α protein in PBMC were significantly higher in severe OSAHS group than those in mild–to-moderate group and control group (P<0.01). But there were no significant difference in NF-κB p65 mRNA and NF-κB p65 protein between mild-to-moderate group and control group (P=0.068, P=0.254 respectively). Only gene (P<0.05) not the protein (P=0.777) of HIF-1αwas higher in mild-to-moderate as compared with control group. Both NF-κB p65 mRNA and HIF-1αmRNA were positively correlated with AHI (r=0.493, P=0.006, r=0.508, P=0.004), while negatively correlated with nighttime lowest blood oxygen saturation (LSaO2)(r=-0.488, P=0.006, r=-0.46, P=0.011). There was a positive correlation between NF-κB p65 protein level and AHI (r=0.669, P<0.001). HIF-1αprotein level was positively correlated with AHI, ODI (r=0.628, P=0.001;r=0.480, P=0.018). There were positive correlations between NF-κBp65mRNA and HIF-1αmRNA (r=0.543, P=0.002), NF-κBp65 and HIF-1αprotein respectively (r=0.716, P<0.001). Conclusions As the gene and protein of NF-κB and HIF-1 were up-regulated in patients with OSAHS, and also positively correlated with the severity of sickness. We conclude that both NF-κB and HIF-1 were involed in the pathogenesis of OSAHS.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and mechanism of vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) in the preoperative and postoperative treatment of bedsore united with skin flap.Methods Twenty two cases with bedsore were randomly divided into experimental and control groups.In the control group,the surgery of flap was performed after the treatment of continuous negative pressure about 7-10 days and the VAC was not applied after operation.While in the experimental group,VAC was not used before operation.It was applied on flaps as soon as sutured the border of flap and decubitus ulcers and removed after 7-10 days.By comparing the general appearance of two groups,microvessel count and the detection rate of bacterial culture and other indicators,the clinical effects of two treatments were investigated and the preliminary mechanism was analyzed.Results After preoperative VAC treatment,11 cases of control group showed a little granulation tissue growth,less subcutaneous hematoma and wound effusion,increased microvessel count and negative bacterial culture.However,there were 4 cases of death cavity residual,subcutaneous hematoma and wound effusion,positive bacterial culture and another 4 cases of delayed healing with skin flap repairing bedsore.The application of VAC in experimental group showed close contact of flap with the basement,less effusion,increased microvessel count and negative bacterial culture.One case of skin flap had a small area of separation,after the dressing of skin and the flap survived.The other wounds healed by first intention.Conclusions The use of VAC to repair bedsore can reduce the number of operation,and it is beneficial to the flap survival.

Objective To analyze the factors affecting the effects of hearing aids in presbycusis patients . Methods One hundred and twenty cases with presbycusis were investigated by using general data and the Satisfac-tion with Amplification in Daily Life questionnaire(SADL) .The individual scores and total scores of all the subjects were collected together with the personal information ,including age ,gender ,degree of education ,pure-tone aver-age ,hearing aid type ,monaural/binaural status ,total hearing aid experience ,daily use time ,the time of perceived hearing difficulty .A single factor analysis and multiple stepwise regression analysis were used to filter out main fac-tors influencing the effect of hearing aids .Results The degree of education ,hearing aid type ,monaural/binaural status ,daily use time ,the time of perceived hearing difficulty were factors influencing the effect of hearing aids . The patients with higher level of education ,the longer daily use ,binaural status obtained more scores than those of the low degree of education ,the shorter daily use ,and monaural status( P< 0 .01) .The older people felt better than the youngers(P<0 .01) .The patients with long -time perceived hearing difficulty got more scores than those with short -time perceived hearing difficulty (P<0 .01) .In general ,the degree of education ,and the daily use time were the main factors influencing the effects of hearing aids .Conclusion There are many factors that influence the effects of hearing aids ,in which the degree of education ,daily use time are the main factors ,and the combination of the two factors obtain the effects of hearing aid maximization ,and the binaural status ,the short time of perceived hearing difficulty and the older obtain better satisfaction .The gender doesn't significantly influence the effects of the hearing aids .

Corneal opacity is one of the most commonly used parameters for estimating postmortem interval (PMI). This paper proposes a new method to study the relationship between changes of corneal opacity and PMI by processing and analyzing cornea images. Corneal regions were extracted from images of rabbits' eyes and described by color-based and texture-based features, which could represent the changes of cornea at different PMI. A KNN classifier was used to reveal the association of image features and PMI. The result of the classification showed that the new method was reliable and effective.
