Objective To study the distribution of bacterium extended spectrum beta lactamases (ESBLs) in sputum samples from patients with lower respiratory tract infection in Panzhihua Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine . Methods A total of 512 strains of gram negative bacterium were isolated from sputum samples of patients with lower respiratory tract infection from January 2014to January 2016 ,standard disk diffusion method was used to detected ESBLs ,drug sensitivity was performed by K-B disk diffusion method .Distribution and drug resistant status of ESBLs bacterium were analyzed .Results Detec-tion rate of ESBLs bacteriumin cadre ward and ICU were higher than that in department of respiration ,and the difference was sta-tistical significant(P< 0 .01) .Among ESBLs bacterium isolated from department of respiration ,Escherichia coli accounted for 37 .5% ,Enterobacter cloacae accounted for 25 .8% .Among ESBLs bacterium isolated from cadre ward ,Escherichia coli accounted for 58 .2% ,Enterobacter cloacae accounted for 45 .5% .The resistant rate of gram negative bacterium producing ESBLs to trime-thoprim was lowest .Conclusion It′s important to understand the distribution and drug resistant status of gram negative bacterium , so as to provide the basis for rational use of antibiotics .

The influence of β-cell function on cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN), an important diabetes-related complication, is still unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between residual β-cell function and CAN in patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. We enrolled 90 newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients and 37 participants with normal glucose tolerance as controls. The patients were divided into a CAN+ group (diabetic patients with CAN, n = 20) and a CAN- group (diabetic patients without CAN, n = 70) according to the standard Ewing battery of tests. Fasting and postprandial plasma glucose, insulin, and C-peptide were measured. Homeostasis model assessment-beta cells (HOMA-B) and HOMA-insulin resistance (IR) were calculated. The prevalence of CAN in this population was 22.2%. Compared with the CAN- group, the CAN+ group had significantly lower fasting plasma insulin (6.60 ± 4.39 vs 10.45 ± 7.82 μ/L, P = 0.029), fasting C-peptide (0.51 ± 0.20 vs 0.82 ± 0.51 nmol/L, P = 0.004), and HOMA-B (21.44 ± 17.06 vs 44.17 ± 38.49, P = 0.002). Fasting C-peptide was correlated with the Valsalva ratio (r = 0.24, P = 0.043) and the 30:15 test (r = 0.26, P = 0.023). Further analysis showed that fasting C-peptide (OR: 0.041, 95% CI 0.003-0.501, P = 0.012) and HOMA-B (OR: 0.965, 95% CI 0.934-0.996, P = 0.028) were independently associated with cardiovascular autonomic nerve function in this population. The patients with fasting C-peptide values < 0.67 nmol/L were more likely to have CAN than those with C-peptide levels ≥0.67 nmol/L (OR: 6.00, 95% CI 1.815-19.830, P = 0.003). A high prevalence of CAN was found in patients with newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes. Decreased β-cell function was closely associated with CAN in this population.
