Objective To explore the distribution and drug resistance of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBLs)producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in elderly and young and middle-aged patients,and provide reference for rational use of antibiotics for clinicians.Methods Specimens of elderly (≥ 60 years old) and young and middle-aged (18-59 years old) patients who with various clinical infection in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from January 2016 to December 2016 were collected as the research object.ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated from 125 patients (60 elderly patients and 65 young and middle-aged patients).The preliminary screening and phenotypic confirmatory test of ESBLs were carried according to the method which was recommended by American Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute.The drug resistance of ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae was analysed and the resuh of the two groups were compared.Results The specimens of ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains of elderly patients were mainly from urine (36.67%),sputum (33.33%) and whole blood (11.67%);the specimens of young and middle-aged patients were also mainly from urine (24.62%),sputum(24.62%) and whole blood (15.38%).There was statistical significance in the distribution of ESBLs producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in the specimens secretions between the elderly patients and the young and middle-aged patients(P <0.05).There was no statistical significance in the distribution of ESBLs producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in the specimens of urine,sputum,whole blood,bile,pus,drain,cerebrospinal fluid,ascitic fluid and catheter between the elderly patients and the young and middle-aged patients (P > 0.05).ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains of elderly patients were mainly isolated from department of respiration (20.00%,12/60) and department of urinary surgery (18.33%,11/60);the ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains of young and middle-aged patients were mainly isolated from department of intensive care (16.92%,11/65) and department of neurosurgery (16.92%,11/65).There was statistical significance in the distribution of ESBLs producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in the department of respiration and obstetrics and gynecology between elderly patients and young and middle-aged patients(P < 0.05);there was no statistical significance in the distribution of ESBLs producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in the department of urinary surgery,general surgery,intensive care,neurosurgery,rheumatoid immunology,invasive technology,oncology,digestion,infection,kidney,orthopaedics,rehabilitation,hematology,neurology and other department between elderly patients and young and middle-aged patients(P > 0.05).The drug resistance rates of ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae to beta-lactam antibiotic in elderly and young and middle-aged patients were more than 90.00%;the drug resistance rates of ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae to carbapenems were nearly 0.00% in elderly and young and middle-aged patients.There was significant difference in the drug resistance rates of ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae to ceftazidime and gentamicin between elderly patients and young and middle-aged patients(P < 0.05);there was no significant difference in the drug resistance rate of ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae to another antibiotic between elderly patients and young and middle-aged patients (P > 0.05).Conclusion Both elderly and the young and middle-aged patients can be infected with ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae.There was no significant difference in the distribution of ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in most clinical departments (except respiratory and obstetrics and gynecology).The most effective antimicrobial drugs at present for the treatment of ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae was carbapenems.There is no significant difference in the drug resistance rates of ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae to common antibiotics between elderly patients and young and middle-aged patients.Clinicians should rationally use antibiotics according to the results of susceptibility tests.

Objective:
To understand the HIV and syphilis infection and related treatment status of low-fee female sex workers (FSWs) in 3 provinces of China.
Methods:
Four cross-sectional survey data of low-fee FSWs from six cities (counties) in Guangxi, Yunnan and Hunan Province between October 2012 and July 2015 were obtained from the national science and technology major special project intervention study for reducing sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in low-fee FSWs' database, which included social demographic characteristics, sexual service characteristics and related medical care seeking behaviors, etc. A total of 2 050 subjects were included in the database.
Results:
The age of the subjects was (35.16±9.76) years old, with a minimum age of 15 and a maximum age of 67. Those who use condoms every time in commercial sex accounted for 58.9% (
