Objective To evaluate the change of extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBLs) Producing Klebsiella Pneumoniae (ESBLs-KPN) and Escherichia coli (ESBLs-ECO) causing nosocomial infection after antimicrobial intervention. Methods We regularly monitored the data on the yearly consumption [defined as daily dose (DDD) per 1 000 patient-days] of frequently used antibiotics from Dec. 2004 to Dec. 2007. From Jan. 2005 to Dec. 2007, we monitored the resistance of frequently used antibiotics and the timely integrative antimicrobial intervention was based on the outcome of antimicrobial resistance. We also monitored the isolation rate of ESBLs-KPN and ESBLs-ECO causing nosocomial infection. The departments studied were the experimental group and other comparable medical departments were the control group(ICU was excluded).Results The isolation rate of ESBLs-KPN ((43.90%)) and ESBLs-ECO (45.83%) in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (28.04% and 24.90%, respectively) before the intervetion (P<0.05). The isolation rate of ESBLs-KPN decreased (from 26.47% to 17.65%) in the experimental group and that in the control group increased ( ESBLs-KPN: from 34.18% to (52.94%;) ESBLs-ECO: from 47.13% to 63.78%) from 2005 to 2007 (P<0.05). The isolation rate of ESBLs-KPN and ESBLs-ECO in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group after the antimicrobial intervention (P<0.05). Usage of ceftazidime and cefoperazone/sulbactam and imipenem was reduced and the consumption of cefepime was increased in the experimental group ((P<0.05)). Consumption of ceftazidime and cefoperazone/sulbactam and cefepime was increased. Conclusion The prevalence of ESBLs-KPN and ESBLs-ECO may be decreased after the integrative antimicrobial intervention.

Objective To study the changes of plasma growth hormone releasing peptide(Ghrelin)level and its influencing factors in patients with hyperthyroidism.Methods 55 patients with hyperthyroidism (observation group)and 55 healthy persons (control group)were selected.ELISA was used to detect plasma indicators before and after treatment.The level of body fat percentage,Ghrelin,S -TSH and FT3 ,FT4 of the two groups before and after treatment were compared,and the relationship between Ghrelin and FT3 ,FT4 ,percentage of body fat,plasma S -TSH was analyzed.Results Compared with the control group,the percentage of body fat,Ghrelin and S -TSH level in the observation group were lower,and FT3 ,FT4 levels were higher,there were significant differences between the two groups(t1 =5.021,t2 =9.628,t3 =23.054,t4 =29.325,t5 =28.967,P <0.05).Compared with before treatment,the body fat percentage,Ghrelin and S -TSH level of the observation group were higher after treatment,and FT3 ,FT4 levels were lower after treatment,the differences were statistically significant(t6 =5.282,t7 =8.651,t8 =21.835,t9 =27.126,t10 =26.855,P <0.05).The correlation analysis showed that FT3 and FT4 were negatively correlated with plasma Ghrelin level(r =-0.44,-0.39,P <0.05),the percentage body fat and S -TSH had positive relationship with plasma Ghrelin level (r =0.31,0.33,P <0.05).Conclusion The plasma Ghrelin level in the patients with hyperthyroidism is lower than healthy subjects,and its level is related with FT3 ,FT4 ,percentage of body fat and S -TSH,the detection of the above indicators has important value for the assessment of hyperthyroidism.

Purpose To investigate the diagnosis,differential diagnosis and clinical manifestation of primary plasma cell leukemia (PPCL) and lymphoma with increased plasma cell.Methods Through clinical data and cell morphology,flow cytometry (FCM),immunofixation electrophoresis and immunohistochemistry of EliVision two-step examination were used to analyze 7 cases of PPCL and 3 cases of lymphoma with increased plasma cell.Results All patients with PPCL and lymphoma with increased plasma cell presented with anemia,thrombocytopenia,fever,liver and spleen and lymph node swelling.The proportion of plasma cells in peripheral blood morphology were larger than 20%,accompanied by morphological abnormality.FCM of peripheral blood showed all 7 cases of PPCL expressed CD38 and CD138,CD56 expression in the 2 cases and CD20 in the 2 cases.The light chain (Lamda,Kappa) showed a monoclonal restricted expression,which was consistent with the diagnosis of PPCL.CD19 and CD45 were weakly positive in 3 cases of lymphoma with increased plasma cell,CD38 and CD138 were positive,and no restricted expression was found in light chain IgL,wich belonging to the immunophenotypes of normal plasma cells.Of 3 cases of light chain (Ig) without restrictive expression,2 of them were angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (ATCL) and 1 case was CD30-positive sinusoidal large B-cell lymphoma (CD30 + SLBCL) that confirmed by lymph node biopsy and pathological examination.Conclusion The PPCL and lymphoma with increased plasma cell have the same clinical manifestations and similar morphological characteristics of blood cells.The diagnosis of PPCL should be combined with immunoelectrophoresis and FCM,and the diagnosis of lymphoma with increased plasma cell needs to be confirmed by histological examination of lymph nodes.

Objective:To determine the clinical, pathological and imaging phenotypes of pediatric patients with anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) myopathy to explore its diagnostic strategies.Methods:The clinical features of 10 pediatric patients with anti-HMGCR myopathy in the Department of Neurology, Peking University First Hospital from July 2014 to July 2021 were collected. Muscle biopsies were performed in all patients, with histological, enzymatic histochemical and immunohistochemical staining.Results:The male to female ratio was 6∶4, the age of onset was 3-16 (8.3±3.7) years, 2 cases had subacute onset, and 8 cases experienced chronic progressive onset. All patients presented with neck and proximal muscular weakness of all limbs. Skin rash was observed in 2 cases. Serum creatine kinase was 998-27 981 U/L. The electromyography results were available from 6 cases, who experienced myogenic changes. The muscle magnetic resonance imaging was performed in 5 cases and revealed muscle edema predominantly in posterior compartment of thigh, with mild fatty infiltrate in 2 cases. An initial diagnosis was limb-girdle muscular dystrophy in 7 cases, but with subsequently negative genetic testing. Muscle biopsies revealed scattered necrotic fibers and regenerating fibers, complement deposition in sarcolemma basement-membrane areas of non-necrotic fibers and a few of lymphocyte infiltrate in all specimens. Moreover, a high frequency of major histocompatibility complex Ⅰ expression in muscle fibers was observed in 9 cases, proliferation of connective tissue of endomysium in 8 cases, muscle fiber hypertrophy in 4 cases and vacuoles in 2 cases.Conclusions:Pediatric anti-HMGCR myopathy is frequently misdiagnosed as muscular dystrophy. Systematic consideration of anti-HMGCR myopathy and testing for myositis specific antibody in children with genetically unconfirmed muscular dystrophy may help the differential diagnosis.
