Objective To discuss the drug resistance and the vicissitude of Pseudomonas aerugi-nosa in Intensive Care Unit (ICU), in order to provide basis for rational use of antibiotics in clinic. Methods Identification of bacteria was performed by applying ATB Expression Identification System produced by BioMerieux Company; drug susceptibility tesr was done by using K-B method. The drug resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was compared between ICU and general wards; and then the difference of drug resistance was investigated between 2006 and 2007. Resnlts The more sensitive an-tibiotics to Pseudomonas aeruginosa in ICU of our hospital were as follows, amikacin (resistance rate 6.7%-9.4%), eiprofloxacin (resistance rate 7.7%-24.7%), cefoperazone/sulbactam (resistance rate 11.5%-34%), ceftazidime (resistance rate 11.5%-37.7%), aztreonam (resistance rate 20.2%-40.6%). The drug resistance rate of ICU was higher than that of the general wards, and the drug re-sistance rates to ciprofloxacin, ceftazidime, cefoperazone/sutbaetam,meropenem, imipenem and aztreo-nam in 2007 were significantly higher than those in 2006 (P<0.01). Conclusion The drug resistance rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in ICU of our hospital was very high,and it is rising year by year. So it is important to retrospect the results of the drug resistance periodically and provide the up-to-the-mi-nute data of epidemiology and vicissitude of drug resistance.

OBJECTIVEWe used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to explore the effects of noxious coldness and non-noxious warmth on the magnitude of cerebral cortex activation during intraoral stimulation with water.
METHODSSix male and female subjects were subjected to whole-brain fMRI during the phasic delivery of non-noxious hot (23 °C) and no- xious cold (4 °C) water intraoral stimulation. A block-design blood oxygenation level-dependent fMRI scan covering the entire brain was also carried out.
RESULTSThe activated cortical areas were as follows: left pre-/post-central gyrus, insula/operculum, anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), orbital frontal cortex (OFC), midbrain red nucleus, and thalamus. The activated cortical areas under cold condition were as follows: left occipital lobe, premotor cortex/Brodmann area (BA) 6, right motor language area BA44, lingual gyrus, parietal lobule (BA7, 40), and primary somatosensory cortex S I. Comparisons of the regional cerebral blood flow response magnitude were made among stereotactically concordant brain regions that showed significant responses under the two conditions of this study. Compared with non-noxious warmth, more regions were activated in noxious coldness, and the magnitude of activation in areas produced after non-noxious warm stimulation significantly increased. However, ACC only significantly increased the magnitude of activation under noxious coldness stimulation.
CONCLUSIONResults suggested that a similar network of regions was activated common to the perception of pain and no-pain produced by either non-noxious warmth or noxious coldness stimulation. Non-noxious warmth also activated more brain regions and significantly increased the response magnitude of cerebral-cortex activation compared with noxious coldness. Noxious coldness stimulation further significantly increased the magnitude of activation in ACC areas compared with noxious warmth.

In recent years, the research hot in the field of solid tumor and blood tumor focuses on the myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs).In tumors, MDSCs not only exert immunosuppression by inhibiting T cell proliferation, destroying the functions of natural killer cells and recruiting regulatory T cells, but also play non-immunosuppression roles in the promotion of angiogenesis and tumor metastasis.All of these hinder the anti-tumor therapy, and particularly affect the curative effect, which are related with a poor clinical prognosis.MDSCs can be used as prognostic markers, which provide new targets for immunotherapy.
