Objective To analyze the clinical risk factors of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) of cardiogenic cerebral embolism and the influence of HT on outcome. Methods The clinical data of 115 inpatients were reviewed from May, 2012 to December, 2015. They were di-vided into HT group (n=58) and non-HT group (n=57). The age, anticoagulant therapy, thrombolytic therapy, infarction diameter, diabetes, coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score and HAS-BLED score were compared. The risk factors for HT was screened with the multivariate Logistic regression. NIHSS score and Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score as hos-pitalization, and one month and three months after stroke were compared. Results There were significant difference in NIHSS score (t=-2.991, P=0.003) and HAS-BLED score (t=-2.499, P=0.014), as well as infarction diameter (χ2=8.355, P=0.004) between HT group and non-HT group. NIHSS score (OR=1.127, P=0.027), HAS-BLED score (OR=1.783, P=0.03) and infarction diameter (OR=4.390, P=0.035) were the risk factors for HT. The incidence of HT was less in low-risk group (HAS-BLED score=0-2) than in high-risk group (HAS-BLED score≥3) (χ2=4.643, P=0.031). The NIHSS score as hospitalization, and one month and three months after stroke were all more in HT group than in non-HT group (t>2.387, P<0.05). The mRS score was more in HT group as hospitalization (t=-2.262, P=0.026), but not significant one and three months later (t<1.468, P>0.05). Conclusion HT tends to happen in the patients of cerebral embolism patients after atrial fibril-lation with severe neural function defect, large infarction diameter and high HAS-BLED score. The neural function is poor in those with HT.

Objective To analyze the relevance between the consumption of various antimicrobials and antimicrobial re-sistance of Acinetobacter baumanni in a grade three hospital during 2007 -2010 .Methods A retrospective analysis was per-formed to count and sort the defined daily doses (DDDs) and the consumption of various antimicrobials in the hospital between 2007 and 2010 .Meanwhile the resistance rates of Acinetobacter baumanni to different antimicrobials were collected in the same period .Data was analyzed by SAS 8 .2 statistical software package using Spearman correlation method .Results The resistance rate of Acinetobacter baumanni to imipenem was significantly positively correlated with the consumption of carbapenems (r=0 .954 6 ,P<0 .01) ,it is positively correlated with the dosage of imipenem (r=0 .849 2 ,P<0 .05) ,it is also significantly posi-tively correlated with the consumption of meropenem (r=0 .999 2 ,P<0 .05) ,and the consumption of amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium ,respectively(r=0 .800 5 ,P<0 .05) .There was no correlation between the resistance rate of Acinetobacter bauman-ni and the dosage of aminoglycosides ,fluoroquinolones ,even β-lactamase inhibitors(P>0 .05) .Conclusion The use of car-bapenems should be correlated with their indications strictly ,only applying to severe infection of Acinetobacter baumanni .The aminoglycosides of amikacin and β-lactamase inhibitors of cefoperazone/sulbactam are the better options to treat A cinetobacter baumanni infection .

In addition to causing high disability and high fatality rates, ruptured intracranial aneurysms can also cause cognitive impairment. Although preventive surgical treatment can avoid intracranial aneurysm rupture and bleeding, patients may still have a certain degree of cognitive impairment, even in patients with good clinical recovery after surgery. There is no systematic review on the effect of different surgical methods on cognitive function, and the best surgical method is still inconclusive. This article reviews the cognitive impairment in patients with intracranial aneurysm, hoping to provide a basis for clinical treatment decisions.
