OBJECTIVE: To study the efficacy and economics of cefoperazone/sulbactam combined with moxifloxacin and amikacin versus cefoperazone/sulbactam combined with tigecycline in the treatment of pneumonia with multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB). METHODS: By prospective study, 150 MDRAB pneumonia patients were selected from Jingmen Second People’s Hospital during Jan. 1st, 2016-Aug. 31st, 2019, and then randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 75 cases in each group. Control group was given Cefoperazone/sulbactam sodium for injection (3 g, q8 h, ivgtt) combined with Tigecycline for injection (first dose 100 mg, maintenance dose 50 mg, q12 h, ivgtt). Observation group was give Cefoperazone/sulbactam sodium for injection (3 g, q8 h, ivgtt) combined with Moxifloxacin hydrochloride and sodium chloride injection (400 mg, qd, ivgtt) and Amikacin sulfate injection (0.6 g, qd, ivgtt). The treatment lasted for 14 days in both groups. The time for body temperature to return to normal, lung rales disappearance, WBC to return to normal and PCT to return to normal, clinical efficacy, bacterial clearance rate and the occurrence of ADR were compared between 2 groups. Cost-effectiveness analysis was used to evaluate the cost- effectiveness ratio (C/E) and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ΔC/ΔE) of 2 groups using antibiotics cost as cost. Sensitivity analysis was performed by reducing drug cost by 15%. RESULTS: There was no statistical significance in the time for body temperature to return to normal, lung rales disappearance, WBC to return to normal and PCT to return to normal between control group and observation group (P>0.05). Clinical response rates of 2 groups were 85.33% and 81.33%, and bacterial clearance rate were 89.33% and 82.67%, with statistical significance (P>0.05). No serious ADR occurred in either group. The antibacterial cost of control group and observation group were 32 371.49 yuan/person and 9 367.82 yuan/person. C/E of clinical response rate were 379.37 and 115.18, and C/E of bacterial clearance rate were 362.38 and 113.32 in 2 groups, respectively. ΔC/ΔE of clinical response rate and bacterial clearance rate between control group and observation group were 5 750.92 and 3 454.00. Sensitivity analysis supported cost-effectiveness analysis results. CONCLUSIONS: Cefoperazone/sulbactam combined with moxifloxacin and amikacin versus cefoperazone/sulbactam combined with tigecycline in the treatment of pneumonia with MDRAB has similar efficacy, but cefoperazone/sulbactam combined with moxifloxacin and amikacin has economic and social benefits.

ObjectiveTo analyze the microbial diversity in the rhizosphere soil of Gastrodia elata with different yields and explore the influence of soil microorganisms on the yield of G. elata. MethodThe experiment adopted the 16S DNA and ITS high-throughput sequencing technologies to study the diversity of the bacterial and fungal community in the rhizosphere soil of G. elata with high yield (GC) and low yield (DC). ResultProteobacteria, Firmicutes, and other unidentified Bacteria were dominant in the rhizosphere soil of G. elata. The dominant rhizosphere fungi were Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Mortierellomycota. There was no significant difference in microbial community abundance in the high-yield and low-yield rhizosphere soil of G. elata, but there was a significant difference in species composition. Thirty-eight microbes such as Bradyrhizobium, Schleiferilactobacillus, and Archaeorhizomyces were gathered in large numbers in the high-yield rhizosphere soil, and thirty microbes such as Fusarium, Coprinellus, and Nitrosotalea were gathered in large numbers in the low-yield rhizosphere soil. At the level of genus and species, there were six different species in the high-yield and low-yield rhizosphere soil of G. elata, among which Russula mariae, Archeaeorhizomyces, and Ilyonectria were gathered in the high-yield rhizosphere soil of G. elata, while Nitrosotalea, Coprinellus disserminatus, and Fusarium were gathered in the low-yield rhizosphere soil of G. elata. ConclusionThere are different microorganisms in the rhizosphere soil of G. elata with different yields, and it is speculated that these microorganisms are related to the yields of G. elata. The research results are expected to provide a vital theoretical basis for the follow-up study of the high yield of G. elata.
