Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 2009;0(15):-
OBJECTIVE To investigate the resistance of the isolated staphylococci to erythromycin and clindamycin and the frequency of inducible clindamycin-resistance of the isolates. METHODS The susceptibilities of erythromycin and clindamycin of the isolates were examined by Kirby-Bauer disc agar diffusion test and the inducible clindamycin-resistance was detected by D-zone test.Cefoxitin disk diffusion test was used for detection of meticillin-resistant staphylococci. RESULTS Among the total of 219 staphylococcus strains,119(54.34%) were resistant to both erythromycin and clindamycin(cMLS) and 45(20.55%) were resistant to erythromycin but susceptible to clindamycin and showed positive D-test results(iMLS).In the phenotype of resistant to erythromycin but susceptible to clindamycin the rates of inducible clindamycin-resistance of MRSA,MSSA,MRCNS and MSCNS were 64.71%,54.55%,70.37% and 60.00%,respectively. CONCLUSIONS.D-test should be performed to find erythromycin-resistant and clindamycin-susceptible isolates of staphylococci.

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2014;37(35):32-34
Objective To study the clinical effect of endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy at different segments on palmar hyperhidrosis and research the incidence of postoperative compensatory hyperhidrosis.Methods One hundred palmar hyperhidrosis patients who underwent endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy were divided into 2 groups according to treatment method,the patients in A group (46 cases) received T4 surgery,the patients in B group (54 cases) received T3-4 surgery.The success rate of postoperative,incidence of postoperative compensatory hyperhidrosis and postoperative satisfaction rate between the 2 groups were compared.Results The surgery of 2 groups were successful.There was no statistical difference in total effective rate between the 2 groups (P > 0.05).The incidence of postoperative compensatory hyperhidrosis in A group was significantly lower than that in B group [4.3% (2/46) vs.20.4% (11/54)],the postoperative satisfaction rate was significantly higher than that in B group [93.5%(43/46) vs.79.6% (43/54)],there were statistical differences (P < 0.05).Conclusion Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy T3-4 or T4 surgery is very effective and safe treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis,but T4 surgery has a lower incidence of postoperative compensatory hyperhidrosis.
5.Correlation between cerebral microbleeds and cognitive impairment in patients with lacunar infarction and/or leukoaraiosis: a retrospective case series study
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2015;23(1):32-37
Objective To detect the distribution of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) in patients with lacunar infarction (LI) and/or leukoaraiosis (LA) and to analyze the correlation between the CMB related risk factors and cognitive impairment.Methods Thirty-eight patients with LI and/or LA were divided into either a CMB group or a non-CMB group according to the findings of susceptibility weighted imaging.The number of CMB lesions was recorded.Mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) were used to conduct cognitive function tests,and the patients were also divided into a cognitive impairment group and a non-cognitive impairment group according to the MoCA scores.The demographic and clinical data in each group were compared.The independent risk factors for CMBs and cognitive impairment were identified.Results Thirteen patients had 58 CMBs in the CMB group.Their distributions were as follows:36 CMBs in basal ganglia and thalamus,14 in cortical and subcortical regions,3 in brain stem,and 5 in cerebellum.There were 25 patients in the non-CBM group,26 in the cognitive impairment group,and 12 in the non-cognitive impairment group.There were significant differences in age and the proportions of hypertension,taking antithrombotic drugs and the patients with LA between the CMB group and the non-CMB group (all P < 0.05).Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that only age was an independent risk factor for CMBs (odds ratio 1.103,95% confidence interval 1.034-1.454; P =0.045).MMSE (26.92±2.87vs.29.00± 1.44; t=2.452,P=0.027) and MoCA (21.62±3.36vs.25.04 ± 2.59; t =-3.493,P =0.001) scores in the CMB group were significantly lower than those in the non-CMB group.There was only significant difference in the number of CMBs between the cognitive impairment group and the non-cognitive impairment group (2.08-± 3.64 vs.0.33 ±0.78; t =-1.629,P =0.010).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that only the number of CMBs was an independent risk factor for cognitive impairment (odds ratio,1.534,95% confidence interval 1.100-2.576; P=0.046).Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that the number of CMBs was significantly negatively correlated with the MoCA language (r =-0.229,P=0.003) and the delayed recall (r =-0.332,P=0.042) scores.Conclusions In patients with LI and/or LA,CMBs were correlated with age.Their existence and number were associated with cognitive impairment.

Chinese Journal of Medical Instrumentation 2014;38(3):181-185
In this paper, according to the requirement of the focused sound field measurement, a focused sound field measurement system was established based on the LabVIEW virtual instrument platform. The system can automatically search the focus position of the sound field, and adjust the scanning path according to the size of the focal region. Three-dimensional sound field scanning time reduced from 888 hours in uniform step to 9.25 hours in variable step. The efficiency of the focused sound field measurement was improved. There is a certain deviation between measurement results and theoretical calculation results. Focal plane--6 dB width difference rate was 3.691%, the beam axis--6 dB length differences rate was 12.937%.
