OBJECTIVE To approach the pathogenic distribution of nosocomial infection and drug-resistance in tumor department to formulate the intervention strategy.METHODS Prospective monitoring and retrospective investigation were performed to analyze the 198 cases of nosocomial infection in tumor department.RESULTS The lower respiratory tract infection was the main infection in tumor department,accounted for 68.2%.The urinary tract infection rated the second,accounted for 16.7%.Pathogenic bacteria mainly included Pseudomonas aeruginosa(20.2%),Klebsiella pneumoniae(19.2%),Escherichia coli(16.2%),Staphylococcus aureus(10.6%),etc.Above pathogenic bacteria were all multidrug-resistant.Detection rate of extended spectrum ?-lactamases(ESBLs) producing Enterobacteriaceae strains was 45.7%.Detection rate of meticillin-resistant staphylococci(MRS) was 40.6%.CONCLUSIONS The drug-resistance status of nosocomial infection is very serious in tumor department.Comprehensive intervention strategy should be adopted to decrease the infection rate.

OBJECTIVE To investigate drug resistance status of the pathogens of nosocomial pulmonary infection in stroke patients and to provide the scientific reference for clinical prevention of nosocomial infections and reasonable use of antibiotics.METHODS By the methods combining prospective monitoring and retrospective review,patients′ clinical data were analyzed statistically.Referring to National Rules of Procedures in Clincal Laboratory,the strains were identified.The antibiotic susceptibility test was performed by K-B method and the results were read according to CLSI 2006.RESULTS The main pathogens of nosocomial pulmonary infection in stroke patients were Klebsiella Pneumoniae(22.0%),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(18.4%),Acinetobacter baumannii(12.7%),Staphylococcus aureus(12.3%) and Escherichia coli(11.4%).The detection rate of extensive-spectrum beta-lactamase(ESBLs) producing E.coli and K.pneumoniae was 43.2%.Meticillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA) accounted for 39.0%.Pan-drug resistant strains were found in A.baumannii.CONCLUSIONS Drug resistance status of pathogens of nosocomial pulmonary infection in stroke patients is very serious.We should take intervention measures to prevent and control the onest and prevalence of resistant strains.

Objective To provide a new method for sacral fracture fixation by means of 3D recon-struction and reverse engineering technique. Methods Pelvis images of 3D CT scan were obtained from patients with sacral fracture. The digital data were transferred into a computer workstation. 3D models of pelvis were reconstructed using Amira 3.1 software and saved in STL format. The 3D fracture models were imported into Imageware 10.0 software. Different situations of reduction (total reduction, half reduction and no-reduction) were simulated using Imageware 10.0 software. The extract locations and the best directions of inserting iliosacral lag screws were defined using Reverse Engineering according to the 3 situations to before navigation templates were designed according to the posterior anatomic features of the ilium and the insertion channels. Exact navi-gational templates were manufactured by rapid prototyping. Drill guides were sterilized and used intraoperatively to assist surgical navigation and placement of iliosacral lag screws. Results Accurate screw placement was confirmed with postoperative X-ray and CT scanning. The navigation templates were found to be helpful and highly accurate. Conclusion The navigation template may be a useful method for mini-invasive fixation of sacroiliac joint fracture.

To date, there is no report on the genetic diversity of ticks in these regions. A total of 370 representative ticks from the south and east regions of Kazakhstan (SERK) and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR) were selected for molecular comparison. A fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (cox1) gene, ranging from 631 bp to 889 bp, was used to analyze genetic diversity among these ticks. Phylogenetic analyses indicated 7 tick species including Hyalomma asiaticum, Hyalomma detritum, Hyalomma anatolicum, Dermacentor marginatus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Rhipicephalus turanicus and Haemaphysalis erinacei from the SERK clustered together with conspecific ticks from the XUAR. The network diagram of haplotypes showed that i) Hy. asiaticum from Almaty and Kyzylorda Oblasts together with that from Yuli County of XUAR constituted haplogroup H-2, and the lineage from Chimkent City of South Kazakhstan was newly evolved; and ii) the R. turanicus ticks sampled in Israel, Almaty, South Kazakhstan, Usu City, Ulugqat and Baicheng Counties of XUAR were derivated from an old lineage in Alataw City of XUAR. These findings indicate that: i) Hy. asiaticum, R. turanicus and Ha. erinacei shared genetic similarities between the SERK and XUAR; and ii) Hy. marginatum and D. reticulatus show differences in their evolution.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the research progress of stem cell transplantation in treating spinal cord injury (SCI) at different stages based on the pathophysiological mechanism of SCI. METHODS: The relevant research literature at home and abroad was extensively reviewed to explore the impact of transplantation timing on the effectiveness of stem cell transplantation in treating SCI. RESULTS: Researchers performed different types of stem cell transplantation for subjects at different stages of SCI through different transplantation approaches. Clinical trials have proved the safety and feasibility of stem cell transplantation at acute, subacute, and chronic stages, which can alleviate inflammation at the injured site and restore the function of the damaged nerve cells. But the reliable clinical trials comparing the effectiveness of stem cell transplantation at different stages of SCI are still lacking. CONCLUSION Stem cell transplantation has a good prospect in treating SCI. In the future, the multi-center, large sample randomized controlled clinical trials are needed, with a focus on the long-term effectiveness of stem cell transplantation.
