Objective To determine the effect of combination of chest physiotherapy (CPT) and intermittent non-invasive ventilation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with respiratory failure. Methods Ninety COPD patients with intermittent bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) ventilation were randomly divided into 2 groups : control group (n=45) received BiPAP treatment after conventional anti-infection, phlegm treatment and support treatment; CPT group (n=45) received CPT before BiPAP treatment. Clinical symptoms, chest signs, chest X-ray, time of BiPAP therapy, PaO2, and PaCO2 after the treatment were evaluated. Results Compared with with the control group, patients in the CPT group significantly improved in clinical symptoms, chest signs, chest X-ray absorption as well as shorter BiPAP therapy time, PaO2 increase and PaCO2 decrease(P<0.05). Conclusion For COPD patients who need intermittent non-invasive BiPAP ventilation, receiving CPT can effectively improve the therapeutic effect. CPT and intermittent non in-vasive BiPAP ventilation cooperate in the treatment of COPD patients with respirstory failure.

Objective To understand the distribution of the genotypes of ?-lactamases in Chryseobacterium/Flavobacterium spp.Methods Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 43 Chryseobacterium meningosepticum strains,22 Chryseobacterium indologenes strains and 10 Chryseobacterium gleum strains against 15 antibiotics were determined by agar dilution method.3-D test and modified 3-D test were used to identify carbapenamase.2-mercaptopropionic acid inhibitory test was used to confirm metallo-?-lactamases (MBL).Genes of ?-lactamases were amplified with 6 pairs of primers special for Chryseobacterium/Flavobacterium spp.and the amplified genes were sequenced.Results MIC_(50) and MIC_(90) of quinolones were lower comparing to other antibiotics.MICs of C.gleum against 15 antibiotics were lower than other Chryseobacterium/Flavobacterium spp.Among 43 C.meningosepticum strains,26 strains (60.5%) produce MBL,but all strains (100%) produced extended-spectrum ?-lactamases (ESBLs);12 C.indologenes strains (68.8%) produced MBL;6 (60%) C.gleum strains had MBL.Genotypes of MBL in C.meningosepticum strains were Bla-B 1,2,3,5 and 11,and Bla-GOB 2,4,6 and 8,respectively.Only one genotype,namely CME-1,was identified for ESBL in C.meningosepticum.The genotype of MBL in 3 C.indolgenes strains was IND-1,and the 6 C.gleum strains contained CGB genotype.Meanwhile,there were 8 C.indolgenes strains and 3 C.gleum strains were confirmed to produce ?-lactamase,but their genotypes were unable to be detected using the current primers,implying that there were possible novel genotypes.Conclusions Investigation of genotypes distribution of ?-lactamase in Chryseobacterium/ Flavobacterium spp.can provide theoretical evidences and rational in the selection of antibiotics,control of noscomical infection and development of novel antibiotics.

The purpose of this study is to obtain effective and stable bacteriocin-like substance from lactic acid bacteria. Lactobacillus buchneri KLDS1.0364,which was isolated from fermented cream,a traditional dairy product in Inner Mongolia,could produce bacteriocin-like substance. The bacteriocin-like substance produced by KLDS1.0364 was partially purified and the characteristics were studied. The bacteriocin-like substance was purified by SP-Sepharose fast flow cation exchange chromatography. The molecular weight of the bacteriocin-like substance was 21.6kD,as determined by tricine-SDS-PAGE. The bacteriocin-like substance remained stable after 30 min at 121℃ and after 2 h of incubation during pH 2～10. Complete inactivation of antimicrobial activity was observed after treatment of the bacteriocin-like substance with several proteinases. Treatment with catalase and ?-amylase did not result in any changes of antimicrobial activity. The mode of action of the bacteriocin-like substance is bactericidal. It exhibited a broad spectrum of antagonistic activity against various species of Gram-positive bacteria,Gram-negative bacteria and fungi.
