The distinction of antimicrobial resistance of clinical bacteria isolated from county hospitals and a teaching hospital was investigated. Disc diffusion test was used to study the antimicrobial resistance of isolates collected from county hospitals and a teaching hospital. The data was analyzed by WHONET5 and SPSS statistic software. A total of 655 strains and 1682 strains were collected from county hospitals and a teaching hospital, respectively, in the year of 2003. The top ten pathogens were Coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS), E. coli, Klebsiella spp., S. areus, P. aeruginosa, Enterococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., otherwise Salmonella spp., Proteus spp., Shigella spp. in county hospitals and Streptococcus spp., Acinetobacter spp., X. maltophilia in the teaching hospital. The prevalence of multi-drug resistant bacteria was 5% (4/86) of methicillin-resistant S. areus (MRSA), 12% (16/133) and 15.8% (9/57) of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases producing strains of E. coli and Klebsiella spp., respectively, in county hospitals. All of the three rates were lower than that in the teaching hospital and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0. 01). However, the incidence of methicillin-resistant CNS (MRCNS) reached to 70% (109/156) in the two classes of hospitals. Generally, the antimicrobial resistant rates in the county hospitals were lower than those in the teaching hospital, except the resistant rates of ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, clindamycin, SMZco which were similar in the two classes of hospitals. There were differences between county hospitals and the teaching hospital in the distribution of clinical isolates and prevalence of antimicrobial resistance. It was the basis of rational use of antimicrobial agents to monitor antimicrobial resistance by each hospital.

Objective To investigate the association of serum C peptide concentration with the severity and the outcome of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Methods The clinical data of 257 inpatients with DFU were collected, including fasting and postprandial 2h C peptide levels and C peptide area under curve (AUCCP ). The patients were followed up on the outcomes of ulcers and death. The associations of serum C peptide concentration with the Wagner degree, infection severity, and healing rate were analyzed. Results The medians of fasting and 2h postprandial serum C peptide as well as AUCCP were 1. 37(0. 02 ~ 9. 00) nmol/ L, 3. 22(0. 02 ~ 29. 61) nmol/ L, and 511. 65 (3. 60 ~ 2 691. 30)nmol·min-1 ·L-1 respectively, which were lower than general levels. The time of follow-up in our study was 2. 8 (1. 0 ~ 5. 1) years. By the end of study, the wound of 75. 88% patients was healed, 3. 5%undergone major amputation, and 23. 74% died. After adjusting for relative factors, there were no significant associations of serum fasting and postprandial C peptide levels and AUCCP with Wagner degree and infection severity (P>0. 05). Cox regression analysis showed that the fasting plasma C peptide and hemoglobin were the independent protective factors for the healing of ulcers; old age, male, higher infection degree, and diabetes family history were their independent risk factors ( all P < 0. 05). Conclusions The lower plasma fasting C peptide concentration in patients with DFU is not correlated with Wagner degree and infection severity, but closely related with healing rate.

BACKGROUNDLung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in China. Surgical resection is still the first choice of treatment for most lung cancer patients. The prognosis of lung cancer after surgical treatment is correlated to many factors. One of them is nosocomial infection. This study is to investigate the distribution of the pathogens causing nosocomial infection and its correlative factors in patients with lung cancer.
METHODSOne hundred and thirteen cases that had hospital-acquired infection out of 1227 surgically treated patients with lung cancer were analyzed statistically.
RESULTSOf all the pathogenic species, the most prevalent species were Gram-negative bacteria with average positive detection of 64.03% (299/467). The second were Gram-positive bacteria (145/467, 31.05%) and the third were fungi (23/467, 4.92%). The results of drug sensitivity tests showed that all of strains had higher resistance rate. The rate of extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus (MRS) was very high. The incidence of nosocomial infection was seriously correlated with age, fatness, long smoking history, complicated diseases such as diabetes, damaged renal function and using time of mechanical ventilation over 24 hours.
CONCLUSIONSThe nosocomial infection of lung cancer patients after surgical treatment is seriously correlated with patient's age, fatness, long smoking history, complicated diseases such as diabetes, damaged renal function and using time of mechanical ventilation over 24 hours. More attentions should be paid to the pathogenic species and its correlative factors of nosocomial infection in lung cancer patients. The resistance of bacteria to the commonly used antibiotics is produced in various degrees. During clinical therapy with antibiotics, antibiotics should be selected according to the results of drug sensitivity tests. In order to reduce the production of drug-resistance, the appropriate use of antibiotics must be strengthened.

Objective Secondary infection with pseudomonas aeruginosa( PA) in diabetic foot ulcer( DFU) was analyzed to investigate the related risk factor, antibiotic resistance, and prognoses of the infection. Methods Pathogen cultures were carried out in 966 DFU patients with their clinical data collected. All of the patients were followed-up for two years to observe the outcomes, including ulcer healing, amputation, recurrence of ulcers, non-fatal cardiovascular events, and death. The antibiotic susceptibility, risk factors and associated outcome of secondary PA infection were analyzed. Results Total incidence of PA infection was 13. 0% in DFU patients, of which 38. 1%was secondary. The susceptibility rates of secondary infected PA to tobramycin, meropenem, eftazidime, levofloxacin, cefepime, and cefepime were similar to those in primary infected PA. However, the susceptibility rates of secondary infected PA to piperacillin, piperacillin/tazobactam, ciprofloxacin, imipenen, gentamicin, aztreonam, and amikacin decreased by 12% to 22% as compared with primary infected PA. The healing rate was much lower in patients with secondary PA infection compared with those with primary PA infection, and the accumulated healing rates at2yearswere44.44% and70.4% (P=0.01) respectively. Theriskofulcerhealingfailurewithintwoyears increased by 3 folds in patients with secondary PA infection. After adjusting for age, sex, Wagner grade, infection grade, and duration of DFU, plasma albumin level was an independent risk factor for secondary PA infection in patients with DFU(P=0. 001). Conclusions The antibiotics susceptibility rates of secondary infected PA were lower than those of primary infected PA. Secondary PA infection in DFU was less likely to be healed. Plasma albumin level was a risk factor for secondary PA infection.
