Objective To study the genes of a carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain isolated from a patient. Methods The antibiotic sensitivity test of a multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain was done according to K-B and MIC method. Metallo-β-lactamase was detected by Modified Hodge Test and EDTA-disk synergy test. Both nine genes encoding β-lactamases, including blaKPC, blaIMP , blaVIM , blaSME , blaCTX-M , blaSHV, blaDHA , blaACT, Class Ⅰ integrase and Class Ⅰ integron were detected by PCR. Positive products were sequenced. Results The Klebsiella pneumoniae was resistant to carbapenems, cephalosporins, cefoxitin, ampicillin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Only susceptible to aztreonam, gentamicin, tobramycin, amikacin, ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin. The blaIMP-1 and Class Ⅰ integron were positive. The blaIMP gene was identified by PCR and DNA sequencing confirmed that the gene belong to IMP-1 type Metallo-β-lactamase gene. The strain also carried Class Ⅰ integron and IMP-1 was located in Class Ⅰ integron 5'. Conclusions It is the first detection of IMP-1 Metallo-β-lactamase in Klebsiella pneumoniae. The production of IMP-1 carbapenemase is the main mechanism of carbapenem-resistant in Klebsiella pneumoniae, and multidrug resistance is related to ClassⅠ integron.

Objective To discuss the way of treatment of bile duct stone with laparoscope and choledochoscope. Methods Forty six patients with bile duct stones admitted in our hospital from July 2001. to July 2008 were selected in this study. The 46 cases were divided into two groups:the control and observation group.The control group included 22 patients who were performed cholecystectomy and choledochotomy with T tube drainage. The obeservation group included 24 patients who were performed laparoscope and choledochoscope operation.We used the Mann-Whites statistics and compared the incidence of complications, the amount of bleeding and hospitalized days in patients between two groups. When P<0.05, the difference between the two groups was considered statistically significant. Results The incidence of complications after operation, amount of bleeding and hospitalized days in patients had no statistically significant difference between two groups. The time of operation in observation group was longer than control group. The bile stones eradication rate in observation group was higher than control gourp. and the bile stones recurring rate in observation group was lower than control gourp. Conclusion It is better to treat the bile duct stones by using laparoscope with choledochoscope than the way of traditional cholecystectomy and choledochotomy with T tube drainage, the former has advantages such as higher bile duct stones edarication rate, lower recurring rate, safer and more reliable operation and fewer complications.

Objective To investigate the early diagnostic value and prognostic significance of serum procalcitonin (PCT) in patients with sepsis. Methods Ninety cases between December 2008 and April 2009 were collected. According to the 1991 ACCP/SCCM and 2001 SCCM/ESICM/ACCP/ATS/SIS sepsis diagnosis criteria,they were divided into sepsis group (50 cases), nonbacterial systemic inflammation syndrome group (SIRS group, 17 cases) and control group (23 cases). Sepsis group was divided into two subgroups (survival group and death group) according to 28-day prognosis Dynamic changes of serum PCT, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), white blood cell (WBC), and neutrophil count percentage (N) on the 1st, 4th day after admission was monitored,meanwhile, the maximal body temperature was recorded. Results The serum PCT level of sepsis group on the 1st day was higher than that in SIRS group and control group,and the difference was statistically significant [6.68 μg/L(1.16-12.46 μg/L) vs 0.22 μg/L(0.05-0.54 μg/L) vs 0.05 μg/L(0.05-0.27 μg/L), P < 0.05]. The serum PCT level of death group was higher than that in survival group,and the difference was statistically significant[11.89μg/L (10.00-28.67 μg/L) vs 2.44 μg/L(1.11-10.00 μg/L),P<0.05]. In sepsis group,serum PCT was positively correlated with APACHE Ⅱ score(r = 0.511, P = 0.000). The area under the ROC curve of PCT was bigger than that of CRP,WBC,N and ESR. The serum PCT level of survival group gradually decreased to normal level after the therapy,but the serum PCT level of death group didn't decrease significantly. Conclusions Serum PCT is a better biomarker in the early diagnosis of sepsis,and its sensitivity and specificity is superior to other inflammation parameters. It positively correlates with the severity of sepsis and can predict the prognosis.

Objective The epidemiology of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from bloodstream infections,their antibiotic resistance profiles and virulence-associated factors were studied.Methods A total of 90 isolates from 17 hospitals were collected from the patients with bloodstream infections during July 2013 and July 2014.Vitek-2 Compact system was used for identification of the strains and antibiotic susceptibility testing.The epidemiology was studied by pulsed-field gelectrophoresis(PFGE).Drug-resistant genes and associated virulence genes were amplified by PCR.Results According to antimicrobial susceptibility testing,75 isolates are multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.PFGE results showed that 75 multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates belonged to eight clone types(A to H),with the A (n=51)and B (n=14)clone being the dominant PFGE clone types.Different clone isolates spread in different hospitals.Most of the hospitals were given priority to with clone A.Clone A only maintaining high sensitive rate to cefoperazone/sulbactam、amikacin and tigecycline.Virulence gene abaI,cusE,ompA,bap,bfms detection rates are 93.3% (84/90),92.2% (83/90),100.0% (90/90),84.4% (76/90),92.2% (83/90),respectively.There were 7 mucoid isolates,which are all multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii,all belong to clone B and all associated virulence genes can be detected.Conclusions The dominant clone type of multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii from bloodstream infections is clone A.The abaI-,bap-and bfms-positive strains are associated with a higher incidence of antibiotic resistance in most types of antimicrobials.The acquisition of mucous type may indicate the emergence of virulent strains,which should be paid attention to during clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate the carbapenemases and integrons in imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. Methods One hundred and three Acinetobacter baumannii were collected from Janurary 2008 to March 2010 in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital. The identification of strains and antimicrobial susceptibility test were performed by using Vitek-2 compact automatic system. Isolates of imipenem-resistant A. baumannii were screened for carbapenemases by modified Hodge test, improved threedimensional test and 2-mercaptopropionic acid synergy test. Isolates were then subjected to the multiplex PCR targeting genes encoding for OXA type carbapenemases, metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) and integrases. The variable regions of integrons were amplificated and sequenced. Results Among the 103 isolates, 75 (72. 8% ) demonstrated positive in the modified Hodge test, 80 (77.7%)were positive in the improved three-dimensional test. No MBLs was found in the 2-mercaptopropionic acid synergy test. Eightyfour isolates were positive for blaOXA-51-like, blaOXA-23-like, and intI1; five were positive for blaOXA-51-like and blaOXA-23-like ;eight were positive for blaOXA-51-like and int11 ;two were positive for blaOXA-51-like and blaOXA-24-like ;four were only found positive for blaOXA-51-like. The blaOXA-58-like, IMP-1, VIM-2 and intI2 genes were all negative. Eighty-nine(96. 7% )of the intI1 positive strains owned the variable region. Two different cassettes arrangements were identified within class 1 integrons:81 isolates harbored aacA4-catB8-aadAI (2 300 bp) and 8 harbored aacCl-orX-orfX-orX'-aadAla (3 000 bp ) . Conclusion The presence of OXA-23 carbapenermase and class Ⅰ integrons are correlated with Acinetobacter baumannii resistant to carbapenems and multi-drug resistance.

BACKGROUND: Ribavirin is easily diluted by lacrimal fluid and has low bioavailability. In situ ophthalmic gel changes from liquid drug to gel phase upon exposure to physiological conditions, resulting in an increase in the precorneal residence time of drugs. OBJECTIVE: To prepare ribavirin in situ ophthalmic gel and valuate its theological feature. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: In vitro controlled observation, performed at the Engineering Research Center of Modem Chinese Medicine Discovery and Preparation Technique, Ministry of Education, Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine between September and October 2006. MATERIALS: Sodium alginate, Carbopol, and ribavirin. METHODS: Sodium alginate (1% and 2%) and Carbopol (0.3%, 0.6%, and 2%) were combined at different proportions to prepare in sire ophthalmic gel, then in which ribavirin was added. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Viscosity determinations of prepared different concentrations of formulations were determined using a cone and plate viscometer. RESULTS: Ribavirin in situ ophthalmic gel prepared with 1% sodium alginate and 0.6% Carbopol had the largest viscosity. The viscosity change was not influenced by the addition of ribavirin. The in situ ophthalmic gel prepared with sodium alginate and Carbopol changed to the gel phase upon exposure to lacrimal fluid. CONCLUSION: 1% sodium alginate and 0.6% Carbopol produced the best rheological feature and could prolonge the precorneal residence time of drug than that of conventional ophthalmic solution.
