Objective To investigate the effects of bisoprolol combined with rosuvastatin on endothelial function and inflammation in patients with coronary slow flow (CSF). Methods Ninety CSF patients treated from August 2014 to October 2015 were randomly divided into control group, statin group and combined group, thirty cases in each group. The control group was given conventional therapy (aspirin 100 mg/d and isosorbide mononitrate 60 mg/d), statin group was given rosuvastatin 10 mg/d on the basic of control group, while the combined group was given bisoprolol 5 mg/d on the basic therapy of statin group. The serum concentrations of nitric oxide (NO), endothelin-1(ET-1), high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were detected before treatment and 8 weeks after treatment. The improvement of patients with angina pectoris was evaluated. Results After eight-week treatment, the NO levels were significantly increased in combined group and statin group, while the ET-1, hs-CRP and IL-6 levels were significantly decreased than those before the treatment (P<0.05). At the same time, comparing with the statin group and control group, the NO level was increased in combined group (P<0.05), while the ET-1, hs-CRP, and IL-6 levels decreased significantly (P<0.05). There were significant differences in the effective rates between the combined group (90.0%) and the statin group (83.3%), which were higher than those in control group (56.7%). Conclusion Bisoprolol combined with rosuvastatin can improve the endothelial function and anti-inflammatory in the treatment of CSF.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance of the clinical isolates from Children's Hospital of Chuzhou during 2014.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted with the bacterial strains isolated from various clinical specimens in 2014.Results A total of 382 clinical isolates were collected during 2014, of which gram positive organisms and gram negative organisms accounted for 37.4 % and 62.6 %, respectively. The top 5 most frequently isolated microorganisms were E. coli (18.8 %),K. pneumoniae (16.8 %), coagulase negative Staphylococcus (13.1 %),S. pneumoniae (9.4 %) and S. aureus (9.2 %). The prevalence of MRSA was 28.6 % in S. aureus and the prevalence of MRCNS was 76 % in CNS. All staphylococcal strains were susceptible to daptomycin, linezolid and vancomycin. All the E. faecalis and E. faecium isolates were sensitive to daptomycin, linezolid and vancomycin. All the S. pneumoniae strains were susceptible to penicillin. The prevalence of extended spectrum-lactamases (ESBLs) positive strains was 58.3 % in E. coli and 28.1 % in K. pneumoniae. The Enterobacteriaceae strains were highly sensitive to carbapenems. Only 3 (1.6 %) carbapenem-resistant strains were identified in the Enterobacteriaceae isolates. About 13.3 % and 6.7 % of theP. aeruginosa isolates were resistant to piperacillin and levofloxacin, respectively. All the P. aeruginosa strains were sensitive to the other antimicrobial agents. The percentage of carbapenem-resistantAcinetobacter strains was lower than 10 %. Only one carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii strain was identified.Conclusions Gram negative microorganisms account for most part of the clinical bacterial isolates in 2014. The antimicrobial resistance is still very serious in this hospital, especially the emergence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, which is of great concern.
