ObjectiveTo obsrve the clinical efficacy of acupuncture, herbal medicine, plus Ethinylestradiol and Cyproterone Acetate tablets in treating infertility due to obesity-type polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).MethodA hundred elegible patients were divided into a treatment group and a control group according to their visiting sequence and random number table. The two groups both received oral administration of Ethinylestradiol and Cyproterone Acetate tables for 3 months. Afterwords, the treatment group was given Chinese herbal medication and acupuncture, while the control group received oral administration of Metforminand Clomiphene plus muscular injection of human menopausal gonadotropin(HMG) and human choionic gonadotropin (HCG). Both groups received a 3-month course. Before and 3 months after the intervention, serum sex hormones were detected, including:follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone (T), estrodiol (E2), and prolactin (PRL); fasting sugar, sugar tolerance, and insulin release were measured; ovulation, pregnance rate, and total effective rate were calculated.ResultAfter intervention, there were significant differences in comparing LH, LH/FSH, ovulation, and the incidence of follicle hyperstimulating syndrome between the two groups (P<0.05); there were no significant differences in comparing sugar metabolism, insulin release, comprehensive efficacy, dominant follicle count, and pregnancy rate(P>0.05). After intervention, the LH and LH/FSH levels were significantly changed in the treatment group, while the LH and LH/FSH levels, ovulation, and dominant follicle count were significantly changed in the control group (P<0.05), but pregnancy rate and follicle hyperstimulating syndrome were insignificantly changed in both groups (P>0.05).ConclusionCombination of acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and Ehinylestradiol and Cyproterone Acetate tablets can down-regulate the LH and LH/FSH levels, andenhance ovulation, without causing follicle hyperstimulating syndrome.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical distribution and antimicrobial resistance of infections caused by Enterobacter cloacae in our hospital,for guiding the prophylaxis and treatment of these infections in clinical practice. METHODS Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were done by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusions method,the phenotypes of E.cloacae strains harboring AmpC ?-lactamases and extended-spectrum ?-lactamases(ESBLs) were detected by modified three-dimensional extract test. RESULTS A total of 162 strains of E.cloacae were isolated between Jan 2002 and Dec 2004,the percentages of these strains isolated from sputum,urine and wound secretion were 62.3%,11.7% and 9.9%,respectively.73.5% of all strains isolated from intensive care unit(ICU) in every endemic area.AmpC ?-lactamases,AmpC ?-lactamases combined with ESBLs and ESBLs producing strains were detected in 19.1%,11.7% and 14.2% of E.cloacae,respectively.The resistance of AmpC ?-lactamases or ESBLs producer was obviously higher than that of non-AmpC ?-lactamases and ESBLs producer,while the phenomenon of resistance was serious especially in AmpC ?-lactamases combined with ESBLs producer,but all strains were sensitive to imipenem. CONCLUSIONS E.cloacae causes infections of respiratory tract,urinary tract and wound principally in clinic,the most of which occurred in ICU.AmpC ?-lactamases and ESBLs are popular in E.cloacae,the restricted use of ?-lactams is a considerable measure which reduces prevalence of AmpC(?-lactamases) and ESBLs producing strains.The antimicrobial agents for treating infections caused by E.cloacae should be chosen according to the results of the antimicrobial susceptibility tests,imipenem is the first choice for severe infections.
