Objective To investigate the detection of IMP andVIM metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs)genes in clinically iso-lated gram-negative bacteria as well as bacterial resistance toβ-lactam antimicrobial agents.Methods 113 clinically isolated bacteria were performed antimicrobial susceptibility testing by Kirby-Bauer method ,drug-resistant genes IMP and VIM were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR),PCR products were sequenced and aligned with BLAST software. Results VIM gene was detected in 1 Pseudomonas fluorescens strain ,IMP gene was detected in 15 strains ,they were Klebsiella pneumoniae (n=6),Acinetobacter baumannii (n=3),Escherichia coli (n=2),Ralstonia picket-tii (n=1),Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n=1 ),Citrobacter amalonaticua (n=1 ),and Enterobacter cloacae (n=1 ). BLAST results showed that VIM gene was VIM-2 subtype,similarity with gene bank was 99%;all IMP genes were IMP-1 subtype,which were highly homologous ,similarity was 98%-99%.Resistant rates of IMP positive strains to ceftriaxone,cefotaxime,cefoxitin,aztreonam and imipenem were all significantly higher than negative strains (all P <0.05).Conclusion IMP genes of different strains are highly homologous,all are IMP-1 type,indi-cating that IMP genes are highly transmissible and can spread among different species of bacteria.IMP genes are related with resistance ofβ-lactam antimicrobial agents.

The development, application and revision of the clinical practice guideline (CPG) in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) are a whole thing. However, the development and revision of TCM CPGs have been influenced due to lack of TCM CPGs reporting and feedback channel. Therefore, during the TCM standardization network establish-ment, we studied the application model of TCM CPGs with spontaneous reporting network, in order to provide the ba-sis for further TCM CPGs development and revision.

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and surgical management experiences of 51 cases of pulmonary fungal infections. Methods The clinical data of 51pulmonary fungal infection patients hospitalized in department of thoracic surgery of PLA General Hospital from 1981 to 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. Results The recruited cases included three cases of Candida albicans, 22 of Aspergillus, and 26 of Cryptococcus. The clinical symptoms included cough, hemoptysis, fever, chest tightness, chest pain and asthma. Twenty cases were identified through routine healthy examination. Of chest X-ray and computed tomograply scan, 29 cases presented with solid nodules in the lung, some of which had burrs and spikes; 13 presented with pulmonary cavity with even wall thickness and smooth inner wall including 7 with aspergillar glomera.Forty-eight cases underwent standard thoracotomy operations and 3 cases underwent thoracoscope or thoracoscopy-assisted minithoracotomy. Seventeen underwent pulmonary lobectomies, and 34 wedge resections. There was no operative mortality in the 51 patients. All diagnoses were confirmed by postoperative pathology. There was no relapse during 3- 10 years of follow-up. Conclusions Primary pulmonary fungal infections lack characteristic presentations in clinical manifestations and imaging examinations. Pathology is the evidence for definite diagnosis. Surgical intervention is an effective tool for diagnose and treatment of this disease.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of velocity vector imaging (VVI) in assessing ventricular function in children with single ventricle after cavopulmonary connection.Methods Thirty children with single ventricle after cavopulmonary connection were enrolled in this study,30 agematched normal children were served as control group.The systolic peak velocity,displacement,strain and strain rate in this two groups measured in 6 segments by VVI were compared.dp/dt of single ventricle was estimated by atrioventricular regurgitation using simplified Bernoulli equation.Results Strain and strain rate were significantly lower in all 6 segments in children with single ventricle after cavopulmonary connection compared with values in normal children( P ＜0.05,respectively),strain rate of the basal segment at the rudimentary chamber correlated best with dp/dt (r =0.72,P ＜0.01).Conclusions Segmental ventricular dysfunction was observed in children with single ventricle after cavopulmonary connection,and could be assessed accurately using velocity vector imaging.

Objective To investigate the short axis systolic function of children with single-left ventricle(LV),and to appraise the clinical value of velocity vector imaging(VVI) on assessing it.Methods The study group consisted of 14 patients with single-LV.The control group consisited of 14 age-matched normal children.VVI was used to analyse the circumferential and radial strain and strain rate of regional single-LV at the level of papillary muscle.Results Compared with values in control group,single-LV circumferential strain values were significantly lower in anterior septum,posterior septum,anterior wall,lateral wall and inferior wall(all P ＜0.05).Single-LV circumferential strain rate values were significantly lower in anterior septum,posterior septum,anterior wall,lateral wall and posterior wall compared with controls(all P ＜0.05). In control group,circumferential strain and strain rate were higher in inferior septum and anterior septum compared with other segments( P ＜0.05).Single-LV radial strain values were significantly lower in all segments compared with values in control (P ＜ 0.05).In control group,radial strain and strain rate of papillary muscle level showed no significantly difference( P ＞0.05).Conclusions Circumferential and radial systolic ventricular function are impaired in children with single-LV.VVI can beused as a quantitative tool in evaluating the short axis systolic function of single-LV.

Objective To investigate the early risk factors of the formation of pancreatic pseudocysts after severe acute pancreatitis. Methods One hundred patients with severe acute pancreatitis admitted from Jul. 2005 to Mar. 2007 were included. Clinical and laboratory data within 24 hours of admission and radiological tests of chest, abdominal dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography and abdominal ultrasound within 3 days after admission were analyzed and multiple stepwise logistic regression analysis was performed. Results 30 patients developed pancreatic pseudocysts and the incidence of pancreatic pseudocysts in the clinical course of severe acute pancreatitis was 30%. There were significant difference between group A (pancreatic pseudocyst group) and group B (non-pancreatic pseudocyst group) in serum albumin[(33.23±4.810g/L vs (36.07±4.92)g/L], CT severity index (CTSI) (3~6 vs 2~4 points) ,length of hospital stay[(26.83±19.760) day vs (14.51±7.71) days, (P<0.05)]. Meanwhile, there were no significant differences between the two groups in age, gender proportion, body temperature, heart rate, breath rate and mean arterial pressure in admission,urine volume within 24 hours, early defaecation within 24 hours after admission, blood routine, liver function, kidney function, electrolytes, blood cholesterol and triglycerol, PT, APTr, arterial blood gas analysis, blood amylase, C-reaction protein, APACHE Ⅱ, RANSON scoring, early ascites and pleural effusion. But multiple stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that the serum albumin and CTSI were associated with the formation of pancreatic pseudocysts after severe acute pancreatids. Conclusions The serum albumin and CTSI were the independent risk factors of the formation of pancreatic pseudocysts after severe acute pancreatitis.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of DJ-1 protein in the endometrial carcinoma and delineate its functional roles in endometrial carcinoma progression.Methods Expression of DJ-1 was examined with immunohistochemical staining of 69 paraffin-embedded endometrial carcinoma samples who underwent surgery at Hunan province Tumor Hospital.Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to describe the survival curve.Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed with COX proportional hazard model.Results (1) The expression of DJ-1 protein in endometrial carcinoma was significantly higher than that in normal endometrial tissues (P ＜ 0.05).(2) There was positive correlation between the high expression of DJ-1 protein in endometrial carcinoma samples and the pathological grade,the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage,depth of myometrial invasion,or lymph node metastasis (P ＜ 0.05).(3) Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that the cumulative 5-year survival rate in the low-DJ-1 expression group was 80.8％,whereas it was only 51.2％ in the high-DJ-1 expression group (P ＜ O.05).COX analysis indicated that the expression of DJ-1 was not the endometrial carcinoma independent prognostic factors for overall survival time (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The high expression of DJ-1 protein in endometrial carcinoma samples demonstrated a significantly positive correlation with the pathological grade,FIGO stage,depth of myometrial invasion,and lymph node metastasis.However,DJ-1 is not enough to be independent prognostic factor for overall survival time.
