Objective To evaluate the susceptibility of itraconazole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus isolates to four other antifungal drugs.Methods Six strains of Aspergillus fumigatus were serially isolated from a patient with lung aspergilloma,who was resistant to itraconazole therapy.Clinical Laboratory Stan- dard Institute broth microdilution method M38-A and E-test were applied to test the susceptibility of A.fumi- gatus strains to amphotericin B,itraconazole,voriconazole,caspofungin and micafungin.Results With M38-A method,the minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC)of itraconazole was 0.5?g/mL for 2 strains and more than 16?g/mL for the other 4 strains;the MICs of amphotericin B and voriconazole were 1?g/mL and 0.25-1?g/mL respectively for all the 6 strains;and the minimal effective concentration(MEC)of caspofungin and micafungin were no more than 0.03?g/mL for all the 6 strains.Moreover,E-test results also revealed that caspofungin and voriconazole had a good antifungal activity against all the strains,including the 4 itraconazole-resistant ones.Conclusion The itraconazole-resistant A.fumigatus strains isolated from a patient with lung aspergilloma are susceptible to amphotericin B,voriconazole,caspofungin,and micafungin.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of nasogastric decompression tube after gastric cancer operation on the postoperative recovery.

METHODSA total of 174 patients with gastric cancer were prospectively enrolled from December 2009 to March 2011 and randomly divided into non-nasogastric tube control group(n=88) and nasogastric tube group(n=86). Postoperative symptoms, complications, recovery time, and quality of life during hospital stay were compared between the two groups.

RESULTSThe incidences of nausea(14.8% vs. 47.7%, P<0.01), sore throat(6.8% vs. 38.4%, P<0.01), bucking and foreign body sensation(3.4% vs. 20.9%, P<0.01), expectoration obstruction(36.4% vs. 55.8%, P<0.05) were significantly lower in nasogastric tube group than those in the control group. The intervals to ambulation and flatus were(1.46±0.58) d and(3.11±0.77) d in the non-nasogastric tube group, significantly shorter those in nasogastric tube group[(1.68±0.61) d and(3.75±1.03) d]. There was no anastomotic leak or bowel obstruction. The difference in bleeding was not statistically significant[3.4%(3/88) vs. 5.8%(5/86), P>0.05] between the two groups. The quality of life differed between the two groups(mean score, 3.36 vs. 2.78, P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONEarly removal of nasogastric decompression tube is safe and reasonable and can improve the quality of life during hospital stay.

Objective To explore the constitute and antimicrobial susceptibility of pathogenic fungi causing candidemia in Nanchang City of Jiangxi Province.Methods Candida spp.isolated from blood specimens of patients at a hospital in Nanchang in March-October 2015 were collected, fungal strains were identified by amplifying the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and large ribosomal subunit (D1/D2 region of 26rRNA), antifungal susceptibility of fungi was detected.Results A total of 1 332 positive blood culture specimens were collected, including 74 fungal positive specimens, accounting for 5.56％, 52 strains of Candida spp.were obtained, most were Candida tropicalis (n=17,32.69％),followed by Candida albicans(n=16, 30.77％) and Candida parapsilosis complex (n=16, 30.77％).Identification results of ITS and D1/D2 region were identical.52 strains of Candida spp.were sensitive to both micafungin and caspofungin, epidemiological cutoff value(ECV) of amphotericin B showed that 52 strains were all wild type.Resistance rates of Candida tropicalis to fluconazole and voriconazole were 29.41％ and 17.64％ respectively, ECV of itraconazole and posaconazole showed that wild type accounted for 82.35％ and 94.12％ respectively;resistance rates of Candida albicans to fluconazol and voriconazole were 93.75％ and 81.25％ respectively, ECV of itraconazole and posaconazole showed that wild type accounted for 75.00％ and 81.25％ respectively;Candida parapsilosis complex strains were sensitive to both fluconazole and voriconazole, ECV of itraconazole and posaconazole showed that all were wild type;all Candida glabrata strains had intermediate resistance rates to fluconazole, ECV of voriconazole, itraconazole, and posaconazole showed that wild type accounted for 66.67％, 100.00％, and 100.00％ respectively.Conclusion Candida tropicalis is the most common pathogenic fungus causing candidemia in Nanchang of Jiangxi, followed by Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis complex.Azole, echinocandin, and amphotericin B are still first-line antifungal agents.

Objective To assess the treatment efficacy and safety of lanthanum carbonate (LC) in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. Methods MEDLINE (1996—2014), Embase (1974—2014.12), Pubmed (1996—2014.12), Cochrane library, Chinese Wanfang database (1996—2014.12) and CNKI (1979—2014.12) were searched. Lanthanum carbonate and hemodialysis were used as Chinese and English search terms respectively, and the articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were used as supplements. Quality assessment and data mining were conducted by two independent investigators who performed Meta-analysis using RevMan5.2. Results Nine trials with 2 674 participants were included in this study. The Meta-analysis showed that there were similar blood levels of calcium [WMD=-0.24,95%CI:(-0.61)-0.14, P=0.21], phosphorus [WMD=0.14,95%CI:(-0.02)-0.30,P=0.08] and phosphate control rates (RR=0.91,95%CI:0.70-1.17, P=0.44) between control group and lanthanum carbonate group. There were lower incidence rates of hypercalcemia (RR=0.17, 95%CI:0.06-0.47, P=0.000 7) and blood levels of calcium-phosphorus product [WMD=-2.17,95%CI:(-3.99)-(-0.35), P=0.02], and higher levels of parathyroid hormone (iPTH, WMD=105.69, 95%CI:70.38-141.00, P<0.000 01) and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP, WMD=6.47, 95%CI:0.43-12.50, P=0.04) in these two groups. There were no significant differences in incidence rates of gastrointestinal adverse events between two groups. Conclusion Lanthanum carbonate should be used as preferred choice of phosphate binders to control serum phosphorus in patients on maintenance hemodialysis.

Objective To explore the safety of unilateral percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in treating osteoporotic vertebral burst fracture.Methods All 25 osteoporotic vertebral burst fracture cases (25 fracture segments) treated from April 2014 to July 2015 were analyzed retrospectively.In 25 cases,there were 17 males and 16 females,aged from 58.0 to 88.0 years with a mean age of 76.6 years.All patients included in the study had preoperative thoracic or lumbar X-rays,CT reconstruction and MR fatsuppression sequence scan in order to definite fracture sites and the integrality of the posterior wall of fracture vertebral.The unilateral PKP were performed by the same operator.All patients included in the study had postoperative thoracic or lumbar X-rays,and CT reconstruction to observe the bone cement leakage.After patients were out of hospital,X-rays were done regularly.The types of bone leakage were recorded.The pre-and post-operational anterior and posterior wall and the kyphotic angle were measured by one doctor.Results The scores of VAS at the first day after operation and the end of follow up decreased compared with the pre-operative scores:(2.8 ± 1.2),(2.4 ± 1.6) scores vs.(6.4 ± 2.6) scores,and there were significant differences (P ＜ 0.05).The kyphotic angle at the first day after operation and the end of follow up decreased compared with the pre-operative,but there were no significant differences (P ＞ 0.05).The post-operative height of vertebral anterior wall increased at the first day after operation and the end of follow up compared with the pre-operative:(21.7 ± 5.0),(21.4 ± 4.1) mm vs.(20.3 ± 3.8)mm,and there were significant differences (P ＜ 0.05).The post-operative height of vertebral posterior wall increased at the first day after operation and the end of follow up compared with the pre-operative,but there were no significant differences (P ＞ 0.05).The above index at the first day after operation and the end of follow up had no significant differences (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The unilateral PKP in treating osteoporotic vertebral burst fracture is safe and reliable.Clear image display,skillful puncture techniques and suitable injection timing are necessary factors for a successful operation.

Objective To evaluate the effect of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) on the remove of inflammatory mediators and the function of endothelial cells in patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Methods Thirty patients with MODS were enrolled in this study. All of the patients underwent CRRT for at least 24 hours. Peripheral blood levels of IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, E-selectin, sVCAM-1, slCAM-1 and PAF-AH were measured at the beginning and 3, 6, 12, 24 h after initiation of CRRT. Results Nineteen patients survived after 14 days and 17 patients survived after 28 days during therapy. The clinical oxygenation and bemodynamics were improved after 6 h of CRRT. Among inflammatory mediators, the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 rose gradually from the beginning [(462.24±331.03) ng/L, (106.39±90.82) ng/L, (124.51±118.39) ng/L), and reached the peak at 12 h [(887.88±975.46) ng/L, (132.01±118.14) ng/L, (167.01±161.66) ng/L], and the levels of IL-1β, IL-4 decreased from initiation of CRRT. But there were no significant differences in the levels of above cytokines between at the beginning and at the end of CRRT. There were significant differences in the levels of cytokines between survival and death group. The level of IL-6 in death group [(145.45±14.28) ng/L] was significantly higher than that in survival group [(106.03±10.86) ng/L]. The level of IL-10 in death group [(94.93±16.09) ng/L] was significantly lower than that in survival group [(143.06± 12.24) ng/L]. Levels of E-select, sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1 elevated from the beginning and reached the peak at 12 h, but no significant differences were found between intiation and the end of CRRT. The level of PAF-AH increased after initiation, and there was a significant difference between beginning and the end of CRRT. Levels of cytokines for endothelial cell function were significantly different, such as E-selectin [(287.13±42.70) μg/L vs (266.26±65.26) μg/L], sVCAM-I [( 1697.25± 475.24) μg/L vs (1488.10±691.67) μg/L], sICAM-1 [(975.33±142.50) μg/L vs (835.40±332.41) μg/L], and PAF-AH [(9.07±6.38 ) μg/L vs (16.32±8.95)μg/L]. Conclusions Clinical oxygenation and hemodynamics can be improved, and endothelial cell function can be improved partly by CRRT. There were no significant differences of inflammatory mediator levels between initiation and the end of CRRT. IL-6 and IL-10 can be used as predicators for prognosis of MODS patients.
