China Oncology 2006;0(09):-
Radiation therapy (RT) plays an important role in the multimodality management of patients with breast cancer. Traditional RT techniques increase risk of death from cardiovascular diseases. With the development of new techniques, cardiac injury after RT has already been reduced. This article summarizes the studies on reducing cardiac injury by the development of RT techniques, as well as analyzes of risk factors for cardiac injury.Possible causes will also be discussed.

Journal of Medical Research 2006;0(04):-
Objective By analyzing the dgug-resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii got from clinic in recent 3 years to study the therapy method of pan resistant bacteria.Method Bacteria was got from sputum or trachea pipe of patients normally,identified with ATB and test 14 common antibiotic drugs by K-B method.Result All the drug-sensitive test results of 248 bacteria in 3 years show that drug-resistance rate is high(40.3%~89.5%)except for IPM,IMI and sulbactam(11.7%~15.3%),and pan resistant bacteria(resist 4 or more kinds of antibiotic drugs)is 37.1%.Conclusion Acinetobacter baumannii is the main pathogen of lower respiratory tract infection.The high picks out rate and high drug resistance get great trouble to therapy.We need to make a strict standards of asepsis operation,strengthen monitoring the drug resistance and advocate to use antibiotic drugs reasonably,so that we can prevent and control the prevalence of Acinetobacter baumannii.

Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 1994;0(04):-
OBJECTIVE To investigate the infection and drug-resistance of Escherichia coli.METHODS Double disk diffusion test and improved three-dimensional test were adopted to test ESBLs and AmpC of 135 E.coli strains obtained from bile cultivation from operations of biliary inpatients in our hospital from 2003 to 2005,and King-Bauer′s was used to test the sensitivity of 14 kinds of common antibiotics.RESULTS The detection rate of ESBLs producing bacteria was 30.4%(41 strains),and that of AmpC producing bacteria was 5.2%(7 strains);drug-sensitivity test indicated,that E.coli was sensitive to meropenem,imipenem,cefoperazone / subactam,ciprofloxacin and amikacin.CONCLUSIONS E.coli is a main bacterium in biliary infection,and the strains producing ESBLs and /or AmpC are resistant to the cephalosporins of third and fourth generation;prematurely and excessively using broad-spectrum antibiotics before operation is the primary cause to increase in enzyme-producing strains.
6.Quaternary Ammonium Compounds-resistant Genes and Class Ⅰ Integrase Genes in Continuously Isolated Acinetobacter baumannii
Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 2006;0(05):-
OBJECTIVE To investigate the resistance and the genes of quaternary ammonium compounds-resistance(qacE△1) and classⅠintegrase genes(intⅠ1)in continuously isolated Acinetobacter baumannii(ABA).METHODS K-B tests were performed to detect the susceptibility of 85 strains of ABA to 13 kinds of antimicrobial agents.The qacE△1 and intⅠ1 genes were analyzed by PCR.RESULTS The resistant rates to antimicrobial agents were between 8.2% and 81.2%.qacE△1 And intⅠ1 genes were 77.6%.CONCLUSIONS The 85 ABA strains are multiple-drug-resistant.There are very high positive percentages of qacE△1 and intⅠ1 genes in ABA isolated from Shaoxing,Zhejiang Province.

Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 2006;0(08):-
OBJECTIVE To analyze the etiological characteristics and risk factors of burn wound infection to provide scientific basis for preventive measures. METHODS The pathogens and risk factors of wound infection of burn patients were investigated. RESULTS Among 341 burn patients form Jan 2005 to Dec 2007, 257 patients were cultured positively in their wound surface with the total infection rate 86.0%. In the early period of infection, Gram-positive cocci were the main pathogens in preinfection, then Gram-negtive bacilli and fungal infection increased. Most of pathogens were opportunistic. From d4 to d10 after burn was the dangerous period of infection. Infection rate was related to the sizes of burn area. CONCLUSIONS Visiting hospital, debridement and takeing specimens to culture in time, correct antibiotics treatment, sterile environment and aseptic operation are the effective measures to reduce the wound infection.
