Purpose To investigate the consistency and clinicopathologic correlation of BRAFV600E protein expression and gene mutation in papillary thyroid carcinoma. Methods BRAFV600E protein expression and genn mutation was detected respectively by immunohistochemistry of SP and real time-PCR, then the consistency between the both methods was analyzed by Kappa-test, the correlation between BRAFV600E and clinicopatho-logic parameters was analyzed by Chi-square test in papillary thyroid carcinoma. Results The gene mutation and protein expression rates of BRAFV600E were 89.3％ and 88.3％, respec-tively, the differences were not significant, the concordance rate of the both methods was 97.0％, Kappa value was 0.847, the consistence was higher, meanwhile the mutation rates between age ＜45 and ≥45 were respectively 96.8％ and 85.9％, there were significant differences, the positive rates of the both detec-tion methods were higher in thyroid capsule invaded group than non-invaded group, the differences were significant. Conclusion The both methods have higher consistency, the immunohisto-chemistry can be used as an initial screening tool for detecting gene mutation, the gene mutation of BRAFV600E is significantly associated with age and capsule invasion, the relationship is not found between BRAFV600E mutation and the other clinicopatholog-ic parameters.

Objeetive As to the high incidence of arteriovenous fistula(AVF) stenosis,surgical operation will result in the exhaustion of vascular resources in patients,while percutaneous transluminal angioplasty(PTA) can maintain vascular resources for ostomy.However,there is still no clear definition between the choices of PTA and surgical resection.The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of PTA and surgical resection followed by reconstruction for the treatment of arteriovenous fistula stenosis in order to find appropriate treatment.Methods Retrospective analysis had been done on 46 hemodialysis patients with arteriovenous fistula stenosis in Nanjing BenQ hospital from January 2015 to March 2017,which included 22 cases treated with PTA (PTA group) and 24 cases treated with surgical operation (operation group).Comparison was made in general clinical situation,patency rate at six months after surgery,over patency time and adverse reactions to surgery between the two groups.Results The number of stenoses in PTA group was bigger than that in operation group and the difference was of statistic significance (2.78±1.43 vs 1.67±0.71,P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in patency rate between the two groups (P =0.828).There were 57 venous stenoses in PTA group,among which 12 stenoses were anastomotic (21.05％) with 79.3％ average stenosis degree and 43 stenoses were at venous outflow tract of fistula (75.44％) with 84.26 average stenosis degree.In PTA group,3 patients had hematoma brachial puncture position and recovered by self-absorption without special treatment.In operation group,1 patient had mild blood oozing and recovered after treatment;4 patients recovered gradually from mild swelling on the back of the hand of the operation side.No difference was found in adverse reactions between two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion PTA treatment is preferred for multiple stenoses(n ≥ 3),which ensures better preservation of vascular resources at a comparable patency rate.

Objective To investigate the antibacterial resistance in nationwide's tietiary hospitals and understand the trend of antimicrobial resistance.Methods All the clinical isolates were collected from 18 hospitals and the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were tested using agar dilution method recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) in central laboratory.The susceptibilities of isolates to antimicrobial agents were determined by using CLSI or European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) 2017 guideline.Results A total of 4333 pathogenic isolates from 18 tertiary hospitals in 18 cities nationwide over the period from July 2015 to June 2016 were studied.Based on the MIC results,Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae showed extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBLs) phenotype rates of 59.4％ and 27.5％,respectively;decreased by 7 to 10 percentage points comparing the last time.Carbapenems,amikacin,moxalactam,β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations,tigecycline,and fosfomycin displayed desirable antibacterial activity against Enterbacteriaceae,but a significant increasing of carbapenems resistance Klebsiella pneumoniae were noted.For non-fermenting Gram-negative isolates,resistance rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannnii to imipennnem were 29.5％ and 69.8％ and multidrug-resistant (MDR) detection rate were 35.6％ and 78.3％,extensively drug-resistant (XDR) were 10.2％ and 72.5％,respectively.Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from children were more resistant to β-lactam than those from adults and the old people,so bacterial resistance in children is an important problem in China.Conclusion Though the decline of ESBLs detection rate,carbapenem non-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae rates continued to increase,which should be paid more attention.

Objective To investigate the gram-positive coccus resistance in nationwide's tietiary hospitals and understand the trend of antimicrobial resistance.Methods All the clinical isolates were collected from 18 hospitals and the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were tested using agar/broth dilution method recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) in central laboratory.The susceptibilities of isolates to antimicrobial agents were determined by using CLSI or European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) 2017 guideline.Results A total of 2301 Gram-positive cocci isolated from 18 hospitals in 18 cities nationwide were studied.Based on the MIC results,the prevalence of methicillin resistant Stapylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin resistant Stapylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) were 39.9％ and 86.6％ respectively.No vancomycin insensitive Staphylococcus was detected.Staphylococcus aureus were 100％ susceptibile to linezolid and teicoplanin,but resistant or insensitive for drugs other than vancomycin were observed among Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (CoNS).Antibiotic resistance rate of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcusfaecium to ampicillin were 4.5％ and 85.1％.The detectation rate of vancomycin resistant Enterococcus(VRE) was 2.1％.Nonsusceptibility rate of Enterococcus faecalis to linezolid was 7.8％,showing slight increase than last time.The prevalence of penicillin nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae (PNSSP) was 6.6％ based on non-meningitis and parenteral administration criterion;while for cases of oral penicillin,the rate was 70.0％,was as flat as last time.There were no significant differenees of resistance rates of Stapylococcus aureus,Stapylococcus epidermidis Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium among various groups such as different department,age,or specimen source.Conclusion Compared with past surveillance result,VRE detection ratio was steady,while MRSA detection ratio decreased.The emergence of resistance and non-susceptible strains to new antibiotics such as linezolid,tigecycline and daptomycin should be payed more attention.
