Objective To investigate the resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii to clinical common antibiotics and new drug tigecycline. Methods Six hundred and two Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were collected from 2008 to 2009 in four teaching hospitals in Zhejiang province. Agar dilution method was used to detect the resistance of 13 clinical commom antibiotics, polymyxin B and tigecycline. Homology analysis of 24 multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains was used to investigate the relationship of each strain with the method of pulsed field gel electrophoresis. Results From 2008 to 2009, the Acinetobacter baumannii isolates of four teaching hospitals in Zhejiang province were mainly isolated from respiratory specimens with the number of 277 (86.0%) strains in 2009, the number of blood samples decreased from 15 (5.4%) strains in 2008 to 5 ( 1.5% ) strains in 2009, and there were no obvious change in other specimens. Acinetobacter baumannii strains were resistant to 13 clinical common antibiotics at different degree, fluctuated from 35.0% to 85.0%. Compared with the resistance in 2008, levofloxacin and tobramyxin decreased 0. 9% and 9.0% in 2009, respectively. However, the resistance of other antibiotics increased at different degree, the resistance of ceftriaxone and cefepime increased about 10.0%, and the resistance of imipenem and meropenem increased to 74.2% (239/602) and 70.8% (228/602) in 2009,respectively. Acinetobacter baumannii showed high resistance to tigecycline with the percent of 78.9% (475/602), while it was only 3.7% (22/602) for polymyxin B. There were six cloning types among the 24 Acinetobacter baumannii isolates, and the most common type was type A with the percent of 50%.Conclusions The resistance of tigecycline makes the situation of nosocomial infectious more serious. It is necessary to control the transmission of multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii immediately.

Objective:To assess the application value of reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) in evaluating clinical efficacy of hemoporfin-mediated photodynamic therapy for purple-type port-wine stain.Methods:From April 2018 to January 2020, a total of 39 patients with centrofacial purple-type port-wine stains were enrolled from Department of Dermatology, Wuhan No.1 Hospital, and received 3 sessions of hemoporfin-mediated photodynamic therapy. Before the first treatment, and 3- 6 months after 3 sessions of hemoporfin-mediated photodynamic therapy, skin lesions were photographed, and RCM was conducted to measure the diameter and density of blood vessels at a depth of 100 μm in the lesions. Clinical efficacy was evaluated based on the clinical photos, and the average diameter of blood vessels and density of blood vessels per square millimeter of lesion area were calculated. Measurement data were compared among different groups by using one-way analysis of variance, multiple comparisons were performed using least significant difference test, and comparisons of parameters before and after treatment were conducted by using paired t test. Results:After 3 sessions of hemoporfin-mediated photodynamic therapy, 1 (2.56%) patient was nearly completely cured, 16 (41.03%) received marked improvement, 20 (51.28%) received improvement, and 2 (5.13%) showed no response to the treatment. In the patients receiving marked improvement or improvement, the average diameter and density of blood vessels significantly decreased after treatment compared with those before treatment (all P < 0.05) , while no significant difference was observed before and after treatment in the patients with no response (both P > 0.05) . The average difference in the blood vessel diameter before and after treatment was significantly higher in the patients receiving marked improvement (48.56 ± 17.87 μm) than in those receiving improvement (31.15 ± 21.09 μm, P < 0.05) and those with no response (12.00 ± 2.83 μm, P < 0.05) . The average difference in the blood vessel density before and after treatment was 7.13 ± 3.44, 5.00 ± 2.22 and -0.50 ± 3.54 vessels/mm 2, respectively, in the patients receiving marked improvement, improvement and those with no response, and pairwise comparisons between the 3 groups all showed significant differences (all P < 0.05) . Conclusion:RCM can be used to assess the average diameter and density of blood vessels in the port-wine stain lesions before and after hemoporfin-mediated photodynamic therapy, and is helpful in quantitatively evaluating the therapeutic effect of hemoporfin-mediated photodynamic therapy.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a worldwide health problem and vertical transmission is the main source of chronic infection in Asian countries. Breakthrough perinatal HBV transmission occurs in 10%-15% of infants born to pregnatal women with high viral load even with appropriate postexposure immunoprophylaxis. Management of chronic hepati?tis B (CHB) during pregnancy remains a challenge, with unique issues that involve prevention of mother-to-child transmis?sion (MTCT) and safe use of antiviral therapy. Previous studies indicate that antiviral therapy with analogs (Lamivudine, Tel?bivudine or Tenofovir) may prevent vertical transmission during late pregnancy in highly viremic mothers. This article sum?marized relevant studies that antiviral therapy in preventing MTCT of hepatitis B virus.

Objective To investigate the dosimetric difference of organ at risk (OAR) for planning and actual estimated during intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods Thirteen patients were enrolled to accept full course of IMRT.CT scans were acquired in the 10th,20th,and 30th fractions during radiotherapy,respectively.OAR,including brain stem,spinal cord,parotid gland and submandibular gland,were delineated on repeated CT scans.The volume change of OAR were investigated.After that,the plans were copied to the new CT image to calculate the escalated average dose of OAR during radiotherapy (Actual estimated receiving dose minus planning dose).Results The change trend of volume was decreasing gradually for parotid gland and submandibular gland during the 10th,20th,and 30th times radiotherapy (all P =0.000).The maximum dose (Dmax) of brain stem and spinal cord and the 50％ volume receiving dose (D50) of parotid gland increased significantly in the 10th,20th,and 30th times during radiotherapy,respectively.The escalated average dose were 3.76 and 3.68 Gy for Dmax of brain stem and spinal cord (P =0.000,0.000),5.11 and 3.54 Gy for D50 of left and right parotid (P =0.001,0.023),and 0.49 and 0.75 Gy for D50 of left and right submandibular gland (P =0.220,0.230),respectively.Conclusions The volume of parotid gland and submandibular gland significantly decreased after radiotherapy The actual receiving dose of brain stem,spinal cord,and parotid gland increased significantly during radiotherapy.However,there was no significant change for the actual receiving dose of submandibular gland.

Objective:To determine the valproate concentration in plasma of epilepsy patients by HPLC, and compare with the re-sults of chemiluminescence microparticle immunoassay ( CMIA) to evaluate the consistency of the two methods. Methods:HPLC and CMIA was respectively applied to determine the plasma concentration of valproate in 230 epileptic patients. The correlation of the two methods was studied by Passing-Bablok regression and Bland-Altman method. Results:The regression equation of the determination re-sults of HPLC (Y) and CMIA (X) was Y=1. 069 7X+2. 338 2 (R2 =0. 969, n=230), which showed promising correlation. Bland-Altman analysis showed that the consistency of the two methods was poor, and the values of HPLC were higher. Conclusion: HPLC and CMIA used for the determination of valproate plasma concentration show good correlation. However, the consistency is poor and there is system error. In the clinical treatment, adjustment and choice should be paid more attention.

Specific antibodies purified from sera of rabbit infected with Toxoplasma gondii were used to immun-oscreen the 12-mer and 7-mer phage random peptide libraries. By 3 rounds of screening, 70 clones were picked out ra-ndomly to test the specificity and 43 were found positive by ELISA. 23 of the 43 positive clones showing strong reaction in ELISA were picked out for sequencing. Clone A7 was selected as mimic antigen in ELISA test after analysis of the 23 short peptide sequences. 23 out of 47 sera from rabbits infected with Toxoplasma gondii were ELISA positive by A7 mimic antigen with a positive rate of 68.1%, and 10 of 155 sera from healthy persons showed false positive with a sp-ecificity of 93.5%. The primary result suggests that mimic antigen may have a potential use in diagnose of toxoplasmosis.
