Objective To provide evidence for diagnosis and treatment by investigating the pathogens and drug resistance of immunocompromised host (ICH)pneumonias.Methods Statistical method was used to analyze retrospectively the data of pathogens and drug resistance of ICH pneumonia treated in our hospital in 2014. Results We confirmed 187 cases of ICH pneumonia by pathogen study of 324 patients.Gram-negative bacillus (68.42%)was the main pathogen of ICH pneumonia.Acinetobacter baumanii (AB)accounted for the first place. Staphylococcus aureus infection was still the first of Gram-positive coccus.Conclusion Gram-negative bacillus was the main pathogen of ICH pneumonia in our hospital and the isolated bacteria show strong antibiotic resistance. Therefore,it is necessary to strengthen dynamic monitoring of pathogens in the secretions from ICH pneumonia patients’ lower respiratory tract and drug resistance.It is suggested that clinicians make anti-infection treatment cover drug-resistant bacteria.

Objective To explore the related factors of fertilization failure after in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Methods 150 patients were divided into total fertilization failure (TFF) group, low fertilization (LFR) group, and control (NFR) group according to fertilization rate. Semen was collected from the male pa-tients; the number, concentration, shape, and progressive motility of sperms were measured. Level of gACE was detected by Western blot. Logistic regression was used to explore the factors affecting fertilization rate. Results The fertilization rate and the concentration , progressive motility , and shape of sperms in were lower TFF group than in LFR group and NFR group (P < 0.05). Western blot proved that level of gACE group was higher in TFF than in LFR group and NFR group (P < 0.05). Logistic regression showed that the fertilization rate, the concen-tration , progressive motility , shape of sperms , and the level of gACE were all the independent risk factors for fertilization failure. Conclusions The concentration, progressive motility, and shape of sperms have impact on IVF. A lower expression of gACE in patients with lower fertilization rate can be used as a potential biomarker for predicting fertilization failure.

BACKGROUND:After years of development, various in vitro loading devices for vascular tension stress have been created both at home and abroad, mainly including rectangular base stretching method, circular base deformation method and four-point bending beam load method. Although the circular base deformation method can wel reflect the real situations in vivo such as the expansion of the alveoli and vascular pulsation, the strain on the membrane is actinomorphic. The four-point bending beam load method can just bring limited strain range and load time, along with a difficult strain regulation.
OBJECTIVE: To develop anin vitro loading device for vascular tension stress using the rectangular base stretching method.
METHODS:Thisin vitro loading device for vascular tension stress developed according to mechatronics design consisted of power supply module, control module, drive module and data acquisition module. The device could achieve the tensile control on silicon diaphragm by high-precision control of the motor rotation angle and rotational speed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Through tests and experiments, the device could meet the required range of parameters and simulatein vitro human tensile stress environment, which is preliminarily considered to develop successfuly, achieving that: (1) two work patterns: stress mode and strain mode so as to solve the standardization of silicone substrate as loading device; (2) tensile stress can be adjusted in a range of 0-5×105 Pa; (3) tensile strain can be adjusted in 0-40% range; (4) stretching frequency can be in the regulation of 0-80 times/min and the stretching time can be controled.
