Objetive To elucidate the mechanism of antibiotic resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa(P.a.) in an effort to provide a basis in clinical combined use of antibiotics against P.a.infection in clinical settings.Methods All P.a.strains were isolated by routine procedures and identified with VITEK-2 automatic bacterial identification console.The minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) was detected using dilution method on agar plate following the instruction of CLSI.Results Ninety-two strains of P.a.were isolated from clinical infection specimens,most of them were obtained from respiratory tract(88.04%).Of the 92 strains,45(48.91%) were metallo-?-lactmases positive,and 25(27.17%) were AmpC positive.When treated with a combination of meropenem and imipenem,MIC≥1 was found in 17 strains(18.48%).The bacteriostatic rate of polymixin B and meropenem was 95.65% and 80.43%,respectively,that of amikaein,piperacillin/tazohaetam(PIT) and imipenem was 48.91%-71.74%,and that of cefoperazone/sulbactam(SUP) was 36.96%.The synergistic action of PIT,and SUP with amikacin was 60.87% and 58.70%,respectively,and that of PIT,SUP with minocycline were 44.57% and 43.48%,and of PIT,SUP with PLB were 28.26% and 7.61%,respectively.Conclusions P.a.strains in this study are mainly isolated from respiratory tract infection specimens.Multiple drug-resistant mechanisms are involved in the drug resistance of P.a.Enzyme inhibitors,such as PIT or SUP,with amikacin or polymixin B should be first selected for clinical treatment of P.a.caused infection.Meanwhile,antibiotics should be rationally administered in accordance with the seriousness of disease,and with the drug-resistant phenotype of the isolated strains.

Objective:To share the experience of clinical cooperation of physicians and clinical pharmacists in the treatment of one case of rodenticide poisoning. Methods: One case of rodenticide poisoning was early diagnosed by physicians according to the con-sciousness disorder and coagulation dysfunction. Clinical pharmacists participated in the drug treatment actively through providing vita-min K1 at the dose of 30 mg·d-1 as the treatment dose and monitoring the effectiveness. Toxicology analysis was recommended, and 718 ng·ml-1 bromadiolone was found out in the blood samples. According to the long half-life of bromadiolone, the initial duration of treatment was set at 2-3 months, while follow-up plan and final duration of treatment were defined based on coagulation parameters and poison concentration monitoring results. Results:The patient recovered rapidly after hospitalization due to the cooperation of physicians and clinical pharmacists through quickly correcting diagnosis of physicians and actively participating in medication of clinical pharma-cists. After the 3-month treatment, the coagulation parameters of the patient were normal and the patient was discharged with follow-up. Conclusion:The collaboration of physicians and clinical pharmacists leads to the optimal regimen with early, full dose and long course of vitamin K1 therapy.

Objective To evaluate the capabilities of disc diffusion and Vitek2-compact GN13 methods for testing antimicrobial susceptibility of screening ESBLs ( extended-spectrumβ-lactamase) in En-terobacteriaceae clinical isolates.Methods A total of 93 Enterobacteriaceae strains were isolated from pa-tients with intra-abdominal infections in 21 hospitals during 2011 to 2012.The in vitro minimum inhibition concentration ( MIC ) values of ampicillin-sulbactam, piperacillin-tazobactam, ertapenem, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefepime, imipenem, amikacin, ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin were determined by disc diffu-sion, Vitek2-compact GN13 and broth microdilution methods, respectively.Categorical agreement ( CA ) rates of disc diffusion and Vitek2-compact GN13 methods were determined by using broth microdilution meth-od as the reference method.The genes encoding ESBLs were screened in Escherichia coli (E.coli), Kleb-siella pneumoniae (K.pneumonia), Klebsiella oxytoca (K.oxytoca) and Proteus mirabilis (P.mirabilis) strains by using PCR analysis and gene sequencing.Disc diffusion and Vitek2-compact GN13 methods were used for the phenotypic confirmatory test of ESBLs and the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the two tests were evaluated.Results The CA values of disc diffusion and Vitek2-compact GN13 methods for the 10 antibiotics were all >90% as compared with broth microdilution method.The major error (ME) rate for ertapenem was 3.2%and the very major error (VME) rates for am- picillin-sulbactam, ceftazidime and cefepime tests were all 2.2% by using Vitek2-compact GN13 method. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of disc diffusion and Vitek2-compact GN13 methods in the phenotypic confirmatory test of ESBLs were 96.7%(29/30), 100%(20/20), 100%(30/30) and 95%(19/20), respectively.Conclusion Both disc diffusion and Vitek2-compact GN13 methods could be used for testing the antimicrobial susceptibility and the detection of ESBLs in Enterobacteriaceae clinical isolates with the advantage of accuarcy.Attention should be paid to the posibil-lity of oaurance of ME and VME when testing ertapenem, ampicillin-sulbactam, ceftazidime and cefepime by using Vitek2-compact GN13 method.

Objective To investigate the compliance of prevention and cure in the old patients with hypertension and analyse the relationship between it and the characteristic of locus of control in the old patients with hypertension. Methods The compliance of sixty-six old patients with hypertension raking medicine ,and the re-exam in outpatient services ,the way of daily behavior with self-made scale about the knowledge of hypertension were investigated. Multimentional Health Locus of Control Scales ( MHLC ) was used to evaluate the locus of control in the patients with hypertension. Results In many aspects ,the old patient with hypertension had different degrees of non-compliance such as taking medicine , the way of daily life and the internal locus of control (r=0.334,0.260), but there was no correlativity with the chance control (P > 0.05 ). Conclusions The compliance of prevention and cure in the old patients with hypertension is needed to be improved. We should offer characteristic support and direction to different patients.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of hypoxemia after coronary artery bypasses grafting (CABG) along with cardiopulmonary bypasses and to understand the regular pattern and characteristics of hypoxemia after CABG. Methods The risk factors of hypoxemia were studied by one way analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis in 86 patients with hypoxemia after CABG along with cardiopulmonary bypass. Results One way analysis indicated that hypoxemia after CABG along with cardiopulmonary bypass was related to senility ( ≥ 65 years ), smoking history, diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD), left ventricular ejection fraction ( LVEF < 45 % ), obesity before operation, transfusion ( ≥ 1000 ml );multivariate analysis indicated that pulmonary dysfunction before operation, longer extracorporeal circulation time ( ≥2 h), hypoalbuminemia and pulmonary infection were independent risk factors of hypoxemia after CABG along with cardiopulmonary bypass. Conclusion Multiple risk factors contributed to hypoxemia after CABG along with cardiopulmonary bypass. Increase the awareness of risk factors of perioperative hypoxemia may guide the prevention and treatment, even alleviate or avoid the hypoxemia postoperatively.
