Objective To understand the pathogenic bacteria distribution and drug resistance in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD). Methods The retrospective analysis was per-formed in the sputum culturs and drug resistance results of 740 patients with AECOPD. Results The positive rate of bacterial infection was 39. 1%. Among them, gram-negative bacteria were 196 strains (62. 4%), gram-positive bacteria 21 strains (6. 7%), and fungi 97 strains(30. 9%). The main kinds of gram-negative bacteria were Pseud-omonas aeruginasa, Acinetobacter baumannii,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Escherichia-coli. Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus were the most frequent gram-positive bacteria. The major fungi was Candida albicans. Gram-negative bacteria showed high resistance to the third-generation cephalosporins,penicillins, moderate resistance to aminoglycosides,low resistance to imipenem. Gram-positive bacteria were resistant to many kinds of antibiotics, but they were responsive to linezolid and vancomycin. Fungi showed high sensitivity to antifungal agents. Conclusion The pathogens of AECOPD mainly are gram-nega-tive bacteria with a high drug resistance rate. To monitor pathogenic bacteria is conducive to master the pathogens distribution, drug resistance and provide the basis of rational use of antibiotics,which can slow down the emergence and spread of resistant bacteria.

Objective To evaluate the application of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation(IABP) in acute myocardial infarction(AMI) with cardiogenic shock.Methods The study enrolled 65 AMI patients with cardiogenic shock and all the patients underwent primary PCI treatment.Among them,30 patients had IABP suppont during operations.Results In all the 30 cases with IABP support,the hemodynamic parameters improved in 30 minutes and stabilized in 2-8 hours.There was no reocclusion and death during querations.The death rate of the IABP group during hospitalization was 40%.Among the other 35 patients without IABP support,6 patients died during PCI and the in hospital death rate was 74.3%.Conclusion IABP can improve hemodynamic parameters and the perfusion of coronary artery in patients with cardiogenic shock.It can increase the success rate of primaty PCI,reduce the risk of low cardiac output and reocclusion during operation.IABP support during PCI can also improve the prognosis and reduce the motality rate of AMI patients with cardiogenic shock.

Objective To study the relationship between gastric bile reflux and the digestive symptoms. Methods The extent of bile reflux into the stomach during 24 hours was monitored by using ambulatory bilirubin monitoring technique in 76 persons among them 44 were complaining of digestive symptoms and 22 asymptomatic. Results The total time percentile of bile reflux,the total area of bile reflux and frequency of bile reflux in asymptomatic group and symptomatic group were 15 6%?14 0%, 20 6?18 7, 22 3 times?13 6 times, and 26 4%?21 3%, 48 7?60 8, 42 9 times?44 5 times. Conclusion Bile reflux into the stomach was significantly more frequent and intensive in symptomatic group compared with asymptomatic group

Objective To evaluate the effects of intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) support in the emergency interventional procedures on pump failure or cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods Group A included 21 patients with IABP support during the emergent interventional procedures, and group B included 66 patients without IABP. The two groups were compared for clinical criteria and in-hospital events or complications.Results No significant differences were noted between the two groups witch regard to baseline age, gender, onset of chest pain, timing of intervention, location of AMI, the number of coronary artery diseases, individual infarct-related artery, and TIMI grade before intervention. The degree of pump failure was significantly worse in group A than in group B. In a follow-up period of in-hospital, mortality and revascularization in-hospital were lower in the patients with IABP than in the patients without IABP. Conclusion The combination of early IABP and successful emergency coronary intervention is associated with improved survival in patients with pump failure or cardiogenic shock complicating AMI.

Objective To observe the effectivity and security of the therapy of patients with non ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (ACS) Methods In 165 patients suffering from ACS in recent 1 5 years, 89 patiens were treated with emergency interventional procedure meanwhile 76 patients were treated after medical therapy All “culprit" lesions were treated “non culprit" lesions of 41patients were treated at the same time Results 134 stents were implanted after PTCA and 48 stents were implanted directly in 165 “culprit" lesions Angina symptom of 136 patients disappeared, untypical chest pain of eleven patients disappeared after twenty four hours The uncomfortable symptom disappeared in fifteen patients, and alleviated in three patients There were no death cases and patients who needed emergency CABG During follow up from two to eighteen months, twenty patients suffered from angina again, and fourteen patients had restenosis confirmed by coronary angiography Eleven of them accepted PTCA again, one case accepted PTCA and stenting, and two of them accepted CABG No patients suffered AMI, sudden death and aggravation of heart function Conclusion The interventional treatment of non ST segment elevation ACS is positive and effective in a conditioned interventional center We have had satisfied clinical results

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of CYPHER TM (rapamycin) stent in treatment of left anterior descending (LAD) long lesion. Methods From October 2002 to April 2003, 65 patients with coronary heart disease (CAD) were treated with CYPHER TM (Cordis) stent and 65 stents were planted in 53 LAD lesions. Among the patients with LAD lesions, 42 cases were long lesions (≥20 mm). The length of lesion was from 20 mm to 50 mm (28.2?8.8 mm), the degree of stenosis before procedure was 88.9%?8.5%, and the vessel diameter before procedure was 3.0?0.9 mm. Three lesions were chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesion. Two lesions were in-stent restenosis. 12 lesions over 35 mm long were treated with two overlapped stents to cover the whole lesion. 30 lesions were treated with only one stent. We observed the procedure success and complication rates. The occurance of angina, myocardial infarction, sudden death, and the revascularization rate during the in-hospital and 6 months follow up. Results Immediate procedure success rate was 100% with residual stenosis of 5.0%?4.8%. All the lesions were covered fully by stents and the coronary flow reached TIMI grade three. No new dissection was observed in the optimal of stents. Only one patient was diagnosed as myocardial infarction after procedure and in-stent thrombolysis was proved by coronary artery angiography (CAG). During the 6 months follow-up, the symptom of angina was disappeared in 38 patients and alleviated in 4 patients. Eight patients received CAG in 3-6 months and no restenosis was observed. Conclusion Drug eluting stent (CYPHER TM) implantation is a safe and efficient therapy in treating patients with LAD long lesion, and short term follow-up results were better than the general coronary stents.

Objectives To evaluate methods to diagnose Budd-Chiari syndrome with inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis.Methods 31 cases underwent phlebography, 28 cases received color Doppler sonography preoperatively. Radical thrombectomy was carried out in 28 cases. Results IVC thrombi was found by phlebography in 24 cases, and by color Doppler sonograhy in 25 cases. There was no intraoperative death, nor acute pulmonary embolism.All patients were discharged uneventfully. Follow-up of 6 to 80 months found recurrence in 3 cases.Conclusions Large or lateral thrombi can be easily diagnosed by phlebography. Fresh or floating thrombi often missed by phlebography could be rushed out by blood stream at the time IVC was incised.The thrombi adhered to the IVC wall could be taken out with large balloon catheter or manually.
