Objective To explore the change trend and antimicrobial resistance of pathogens causing infection in extensive burn patients,and provide reference for clinical prevention and treatment.Methods Specimens from 9 extensive burn patients who were admitted to a hospital at the same time were performed pathogenic culture and an-timicrobial susceptibility testing, change trend and antimicrobial susceptibility of pathogens were observed. Results The main specimen was wound secretion,accounting for 93.81 %.The major pathogens causing infection were Acinetobacter baumannii (44.85%),Staphylococcus aureus (32.47%),Pseudomonas aeruginosa (12.37%), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (5.15%).With the prolongation of hospital stay,pathogens changed from one kind to multiple strains, and from susceptibility to resistance,multidrug resistance,and extensive drug resistance. Conclusion Itis difficult to avoid infection in burn patients,timely realizing the changes of pathogens causing infec-tion and antimicrobial resistance play an important role in the control of infection.

Objective To investigate the occurrence of central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection(CRB-SI)in mass severe burn patients,evaluate related risk factors for infection,and effectiveness of prevention and con-trol measures.Methods In August 2014,9 cases of severe burn patients were rescued in a hospital,all patients re-ceived CVC,infection prevention and control intervention measures were performed during the whole process of catheterization.Results All patients received 30 episodes of CVC,total CVC-days were 227 days,bacterial culture for three-cavity catheters of femoral veins in 2 patients were positive,incidence of CRBSI was 8.81 ‰;1 patient was isolated Enterococcus faecium ,1 isolated both Acinetobacter baumannii and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia .2 CRB-SI patients received femoral vein catheterization,catheterization site was trauma surface,duration of catheterization were both ≥7 days,both used three-cavity catheters,and third degree burns were ≥60%,both patients were cured after timely removal of catheters and receiving of antimicrobial agents.Conclusion CVC is helpful for long term, safe and effective fluid infusion,but it can cause CRBSI;infection prevention and control intervention for patients receiving CVC during the whole process of catheterization can reduce the occurrence of CRBSI.
3.Study on the Concept and Clinical Application of Chongmai Based on The Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor
Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2024;65(15):1525-1530
Through combing and analysing the relevant records of Chongmai in The Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor (《黄帝内经》), the basis for the formation of the concept of Chongmai, its development, and the connotation of its name and reality are examined. It is believed that the concept of Chongmai is based on the observation of arterial pulsation by ancient people, and the practice of pulse diagnosis and blood letting by healing stone, to reflect the importance placed on the entity of the blood vessels, the concept of qi and blood in clinical practice. The name, route and function of Chongmai all reflect the above characteristics. With the development of medical theory and the standardization of the distribution and route of meridians by the three-Yin and three-Yang model thinking, the theory of the twelve meridians has taken a dominant position, and the arterial sites belonging to Chongmai are divided by the twelve meridians, resulting in the intersection and confusion between the positioning of the Chongmai and the twelve meridians in later generations. The independent function and disease characteristics of the Chongmai are becoming increasingly blurred, ultimately leading to a disconnection between the clinical application and theoretical positioning of Chongmai. Based on the high degree of belonging of the human arterial system to Chongmai, and based on the exuberance-decline and excess-deficiency, free and stasis of qi and blood, this article concluded that the connotation of Chongmai as the sea of blood, governs reproduction and menstruation, dominates disease of gynaecology, cold pathogen intruding the body, and mental disease, and formulates corresponding treatment methods, which has a unique value and significance in clinic.
