Objective To grasp the development of private hospitals of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) from a macro level;To provide reference for stakeholders by analyzing the underlying database of TCM private hospitals. Methods By analyzing the TCM database of hospital health agency annual statement from“National Health Statistical Investigation System”, current status of TCM private hospitals were analyzed from the aspects of organization, personnel, beds, number of service, and patient burden. The developing level of TCM was reflected by comparison with public hospitals. Results By the end of 2013, there were 938 TCM private hospitals, accounting for about 26.13% of TCM hospitals. Average annual growth rate of beds, health technicians, outpatient visits, and discharged patients exceeded 10%, while the hospital degree, bed utilization ratio, physician burden, and average length of stay for discharge patients were only 70%of TCM public hospitals. Conclusion TCM private hospitals have achieved rapid development in the number of these indicators, but the service efficiency, scale and level are still far behind TCM public hospitals.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance of clinically isolated pathogens from geriatrics department of a hospital in 2013,so as to provide reference for clinical antimicrobial use.Methods Distribution and antimicrobial resistance of pathogens isolated from patients in a geriatrics department between Janu-ary and December 2013 were analyzed statistically.Results Of 1 896 pathogenic strains,1 289(67.99%)were gram-negative bacteria,439 (26.00%)were gram-positive bacteria,and 114(6.01%)were fungi;the top 4 isolated pathogens were Klebsiella pneumoniae ,Pseudomonas aeruginosa ,Acinetobacter baumannii ,and Escherichia coli .Extended-spec-trumβ-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae accounted for 53.26% and 31.10% of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae respectively;Of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis strains,methicillin-resistant isolates (MRSA and MRSE)accounted for 22.47% and 80.00%,respectively,of Enterococ-cus strains,vancomycin-resistant isolates (VRE)was 3.10%,Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacteriaceae were highly sensitive to imipenem,meropenem and ertapenem.Resistant rate of Acinetobacter baumannii to imipenem and meropenem was 79.48% and 80.35% respectively,Pseudomonas aeruginosa had the lowest resistant rate to amikacin (10.70%). Gram-positive bacteria were highly sensitive to vancomycin and linezolid.Conclusion The major pathogens isolated from the elderly patients are gram-negative bacteria,and antimicrobial resistance is serious,surveillance of antimicrobial resist-ance is important for rational use of antimicrobial agents and control of pathogen resistance.
