Objective To investigate the drug resistance of patients samples in terms of pathogenic bacteria in order to provide the basis for clinical diagnosis,treatment of blood infection.Methods Six hundred and seventy-one bacteria strains out of 5042 blood samples of hospitalized patients were used to analyze its characters and drug resistance from January 2009 to December 2012 in the people's hospital of inner mongolia autonomous region.BacT AIERT 3D automatic rapid microbial detection system was applied to perform blood culture.The bacteria identification and drug sensitivity test (MIC method) were detected by using VITEK 2Compact automatic bacteria identification instrument.Results Bacteria positive rate was 13.3% (671/5042),of which the gram negative bacilli accounted for 49.9% (335/671),and gram positive for 40.8% (274/671).The top 5 bacteria strains of blood samples were escherichia coli,staphylococcus,staphylococcus aureus,klebsiella pneumoniae and staphylococcus aureus.The pathogenic bacteria rates of blood samples were 30.5%(29/95),44.4% (55/124) and 52.5% (94/179) respectively during 2009-2012.The main source of blood bacteria renal were department of internal medicine ward (12.1%,81/671),department of general surgery (11.6%,78/671),and ICU ward (10.6%,71/671).The detected bacteria rate in department of general surgery separation rate increased to the first in 2012 from fifth in 2009.However the detected bacteria rate in department of internal medicine was down to the tenth in 2012 from the third in 2009.The drug resistance rate of imipenem,piperacillin/tazobactam,cefotaxime,ceftazidime resistant cefotetan on escherichia coli and klebsiella pneumoniae were all less than 9.7%,and the rate of linezolid,vancomycin,teicoplanin,quinupristin/dafoe leptin and nitrofurantoin resistance of staphylococcus aureus,staphylococcus bacteria and gold staphylococcus aureus were all less than 2.3%.Conclusion The distribution,sources and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria had been changed recently.Therefore the laboratory shall strengthen the monitoring of drug resistance of bacteria in the bloodstream infection in order to guide clinical rational application of antibiotics.

AIM:The 50-Hz magnetic field (MF) is a potential health-risk factor.Its effects on the cardiovascular system have not been fully investigated .This study was conducted to explore the effects of long-term exposure to 50-Hz MF on the cardiovascular system . METHODS:In the study , an exposure system was constructed and the distribution of 50-Hz MF was detected .Sixty-four Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were exposed to 50-Hz MF at 100 μT for 24 weeks, 20 hours per day, while another 64 rats were sham exposed. During the exposure, blood pressure was measured every 4 weeks, and 24 weeks later, echocardiography, cardiac catheterisation and electrocardiography were performed .Moreover , heart and body weight were recorded , while haematoxylin-eosin staining and real-time PCR were conducted .RESULTS:The results showed that compared with the sham group , exposure to 50-Hz MF did not exert any effect on blood pressure, pulse rate, heart rate and cardiac rhythm.Further, echocardiography and cardiac catheterisation showed that there were no significant differences in the cardiac morphology and haemodynamics .In addition , histopathological examination showed that 50-Hz MF exposure had no effect on the structure of hearts .Finally, the expression of the cardiac hypertrophic relative genes did not show any significant differences between 50-Hz MF exposure group and the sham group .CONCLUSION: Taken together , in SD rats, exposure to 50-Hz/100-μT MF for 24 weeks did not show any obvious effects on the cardiovascular system .

To investigate the strain composition and drug resistance characteristics of G +(Gram positive cocci) cocci causing bloodstream infections in the People′s Hospital of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in recent years and provide a basis for the empirical and rational use of drugs for the prevention and treatment of bloodstream infections caused by G +cocci. The strain composition and drug-resistant characteristics of G +cocci isolated from positive blood culture specimens sent to various departments of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region People′s Hospital from January 2015 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and the higher detection rates of Staphylococcus hominis and Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) were examined. MRSA and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) were comparatively analyzed for resistance. The resistance data were analyzed by Whonet 5.6 statistical software, the significance of difference was analyzed by SPSS 22.0 software, and the resistance rate was compared by χ2 test. The results showed that 1 209 strains of G +cocci, in terms of the composition ratio, from high to low, were mainly human staphylococci (32.5%,393/1 209), Staphylococcus epidermidis (27.8%, 336/1 209), Staphylococcus aureus (14.9%,180/1 209) and Enterococcus faecalis (10.6%, 128/1 209). Among them, the detection rate of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (42.8%, 77/180) was lower than that of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococcus (MRCNS) (71.5%, 608/850); and among enterococci, the detection rate of Enterococcus faecalis (71.5%, 128/179) was much higher than that of Enterococcus faecalis (28.5%, 51/179). For drug resistance, the resistance rate to five commonly used antimicrobial drugs, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, clindamycin and tetracycline, was higher in Staphylococcus hominis than in Staphylococcus epidermidis ( χ2=7.152-64.080, P<0.05); however, for the aminoglycoside antimicrobial drug gentamicin, the rate of resistance in Staphylococcus humanus was lower than in Staphylococcus epidermidis, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=11.895, P<0.05); no strains resistant to linezolid and vancomycin were found in both. Comparison of the resistance rates to seven antimicrobial drugs, gentamicin, rifampicin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, clindamycin and tetracycline, was significantly higher in MRSA than in MSSA ( χ2=6.169-56.941, P<0.05); however, the resistance rate to cotrimoxazole, MRSA (15.6%, 12/77) was significantly lower than that of MSSA (35.3%, 36/102), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=5.155, P<0.05); MRSA and MSSA resistant to linezolid and vancomycin were not found. The resistance rate of Enterococcus faecalis to penicillin G and ampicillin was much higher than that of Enterococcus faecalis, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=22.965, P<0.05), and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) were not found. In conclusion, for staphylococci, except for individual antibiotics, S.hominis and MRSA were more resistant to most antimicrobial drugs than S. epidermidis and MSSA, showing a multidrug-resistant pattern. For enterococci, except for penicillin G and ampicillin resistance rate, Enterococcus faecalis is much higher than Enterococcus faecalis, the rest of the antimicrobial drugs did not see a significant difference, in addition to vancomycin-resistant enterococci were not detected. Clinicians should pay great attention to the monitoring data of multidrug-resistant G +cocci isolated from blood cultures to provide a basis for empirical and rational use of drugs in the clinic, to effectively prevent and reduce the incidence of bloodstream infections caused by G +cocci.
