Aim To study and compare the pharmaco-kinetic parameters of roxithromycin under normoxic and hypoxic rats. Methods A highly effective and rapid ultra-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry ( UPLC-MS/MS) method with posi-tive electrospray ionization source was successfully de-veloped and validated for quantification of roxithromy-cin in rat plasma. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the hypoxia and normoxic groups. Each rat obtained a single dose of roxithromycin with 10 mg · kg-1 via intragastric administration. The pharmacoki-netic parameter comparison between normoxic and hy-poxic groups was calculated by SPSS software using in-dependent sample t test method. Results The main pharmacokinetic parameters of roxithromycin between the normoxic and hypoxic rats were:the AUC(0-t) 7 576 and 3 761 μg·h·L-1 , MRT(0-t) 5. 6 and 7. 7 h, T1/2 3. 4 h and 3. 9 h, CL 1. 5 and 3. 0 L · h-1 · kg-2 , tmax3. 1 and 3. 4 h, Cmax 1 116 and 372 μg·L-1 , re-spectively. The levels of Cmax and AUC of roxithromy-cin in hypoxic rats were statistically lower than those in normoxic rats. Conclusion The exposure level of rox-ithromycin in hypoxic rats markedly decreased. Our re-sults may provide an important experimental basis to adjust the dosage for roxithromycin in hypoxic clinical practice.

Objective:To evaluate the value of vasoactive-inotropic Score (VIS) at different time points in predicting the 28-day mortality of patients with septic shock, so as to reduce the risk of death and improve the prognosis of patients.Methods:This experiment was a single-center retrospective cohort study. The clinical data of 275 adult patients with septic shock who were treated with vasoactive drugs in the intensive care unit of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from February 2016 to February 2020 were collected. According to the 28-day survival condition, all recruited patients were divided into the death group and the survival group, and the maximum vasoactive-inotropic score of all patients at the first 24 h and the second 24 h were calculated, which were expressed as VIS max24 and VIS max48. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to find the independent risk factors that influencing the prognosis. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the predictive value of VIS. Results:There was no significant difference between the death group and the survival group in the characteristics including age, sex, weight, infection sites, blood culture results, cardiac arrest, hormone use, and 24 h rehydration volume ( P>0.05). APACHE II score, basic lactic acid, and lactic acid after 24 h of treatment were increased significantly in the death group ( P<0.05). VIS max24 could accurately predict the 28-day mortality (AUC=0.953, 95% CI: 0.924-0.982), which were more efficent compared to VIS max48 (AUC=0.919, 95% CI: 0.881-0.957), basic lactic acid (AUC=0.937, 95% CI: 0.900-0.966) and APACHEⅡ score (AUC=0.865, 95% CI: 0.818-0.913). Conclusion:VIS max24 can more accurate predict the 28-day mortality in patients with septic shock.

Objective To investigate drug resistance mechanism of aminoglycoside-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii by detecting 16S rRNA methylase gene and three common genes of aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes in Acinetobacter baumannii infected patients at EICU. Methods The 48 Acinetobacter baumannii strains were collected,and antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed by VITEK automicroscan. The MIC was detected by 2-fold agar dilution method,and genes were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction( PCR) . Results Among 48 strains,28 were highly resistant to aminoglycosides and 20 showed lower resistances. The 16S rRNA armA,APH(3')-I,ANT(3'')-Ia,AAC(6')-Ib genes were detected in 71. 43%,60. 71%,82. 14%, and 53. 57%of the 28 highly resistant strains,but only present in 0. 00%,0. 05%,0. 05%,and 0. 05%of the low-resistant isolates(P<0. 01). Conclusion The aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes and 16S rRNA methylase were frequently found in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates,which is closely related to the high-level resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics.
