Objective To compare distribution and antimicrobial resistance of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus(MSSA)and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcusaureus(MRSA)in hospitalized children,and provide refer-ence for empirical use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Isolation and clinical data of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)from hospitalized children in a hospital during 2011-2015 were analyzed retrospectively,distribution and antimicrobial resistance between MSSA and MRSA were compared.Results A total of 919 strains of S.aureus were isolated,632(68.77% )of which were MSSA,287(31.23%)were MRSA.65.03% of MSSA infection and 64.11% of MRSA infection were in children aged 29 day-1 year old.80.38% of MSSA and 79.09% of MRSA were isolated from sputum specimen.MSSA and MRSA were mainly distributed in department of pediatric respiratory medicine(50.73%,45.89% respectively)and department of pediatric neurology(22.98%,26.84% respectively). Resistance rates of MSSA to antimicrobial agents were<20.00% except penicillin and erythromycin;resistance rates of MRSA to penicillin,oxacillin,erythromycin,and clindamycin were all>40.00%;resistance rates of MR-SA to tetracycline,erythromycin,clindamycin,levofloxacin,ciprofloxacin,moxifloxacin,nitrofurantoin,and ri-fampin were all higher than MSSA.Conclusion MSSA is main S.aureus isolated from hospitalized children,in-fants under 1 year of age are the main population,the main distribution departments of MSSA and MRSA from re-spiratory tract specimen are similar,antimicrobial resistance of MRSA is generally higher than that of MSSA.

Objective To evaluate the analgesic effect of parecoxib in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA).Methods The study was a prospective,randomized and double-blind trial and was operated by the same group of surgeons in 101 patients with TKA and 105 patients with THA.According to analgesic protocol,the patients were divided into three groups:Group One ( intravenous injection with parecoxib),Group Two ( periarticular injection with parecoxib) and Group Three ( the control group).The postoperative visual analog scores (VAS),range of motion ( ROM),the ability of straight leg raising and the incidence of nausea and vomiting complications were examined and compared between the three groups.Results There were no significant differences in VAS (6,12,24,36,48,72 hours after operation),ROM ( 24 hours after operation) and the ability of straight leg raising between Group One and Group Two ( P > 0.05 ),but all of them were significantly higher than those in Group Three ( P < 0.05 ).Nausea,vomiting and other adverse effects did not significandy increase with the use of parecoxib.Conclusions Both intraoperative intravenous injection and periarticular injection with parecoxib have a good analgesia effect on TKA and THA,which are beneficial to the rapid recovery of joint function in patients.The simple and practical method provides an effective adjunct to a multimodal analgetic approach in improving the postoperative course of TKA and THA.

Objective To investigate the association between KRAS gene mutations and clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.Methods The retrospective casecontrol study was conducted.The clinicophathological data of 315 patients who underwent radical resection of CRC in the Yangpu Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University between January 2007 and July 2011 were collected.Nextgeneration sequencing was performed to identify KRAS gene mutations from surgical specimens.Observation indicators:(1) detection of KRAS gene;(2) association between KRAS gene mutations and clinicopathological characteristics of CRC patients;(3) follow-up and survival situations;(4) multivariate analysis of KRAS gene mutations in the prognosis of CRC patients.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect postoperative overall survival up to August 2016.Comparisons of count data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (interquartile range),and comparison between groups was analyzed using the nonparametric test.The survival rate was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method,and survival was compared using the Log-rank test.The multivariate analysis was done using the COX regression model.Results (1) Detection of KRAS gene:all the 315 patients finished gene detection of surgical specimens,including 172 in wide-type mutations and 143 in mutant-type mutations (mutations at codon 12 and 13 of KRAS exon 2 and other mutant points were respectively detected in 80,24 and 40 patients,and 1 patient had simultaneous mutations at codon 12 and 13 of KRAS exon 2;missense and nonsense mutations were respectively detected in 141 and 2 patients).The major point mutations were at p.G12D and p.G13D.(2) Association between KRAS gene mutations and clinicophathological characteristics of CRC patients:tumors located in the proximal colon,distal colon and rectum were respectively detected in 34,48,90 patients with wild-type mutation and in 44,27,72 patients with mutant-type mutation,with a statistically significant difference (x2 =0.038,P<0.05).(3) Follow-up and survival situation:315 patients were followed up for 3-115 months,with a median time of 78 months.The postoperative overall survival rate was 41.0% in 172 patients with wild-type KRAS mutations,27.4% in 80 patients with KRAS codon 12 mutations,26.3% in 24 patients with KRAS codon 13 mutations and 48.2% in 40 patients with other KRAS mutations,showing a statistically significant difference (x2=0.040,P<0.05).(4) Multivariate analysis of KRAS gene mutations in the prognosis of CRC patients:the results of multivariate analysis showed that mutations at codon 12 of KRAS exon 2 was an independent factor affecting poor prognosis of CRC patients (Hazard ratio=1.543,95% confidence interval:1.050-2.265,P<0.05).Conclusions Most KRAS mutations of CRC patients are at codon 12 and 13 of KRAS exon 2,and the major point mutations are at p.G12D and p.G13D.KRAS gene mutations may be associated with tumor location.Mutations at codon 12 of KRAS exon 2 is an independent factor affecting poor prognosis of CRC patients.
