OBJECTIVE To study the isolation,distributive characteristics and drug resistance of AmpC enzyme producing Gram-negative bacilli in nosocomial infection of two years and provide the evidence for treatment. METHODS A total of 528 strains of Gram-negative bacilli collected from daily specimens were identified with Bio-Fosun-Ⅰ,and AmpC enzyme was screened by cefoxitin disk and then corroborated by EDTA disk method. All data were analyzed statistically. RESULTS Among 528 strains collected,136 (25.75%) were AmpC enzyme producing strains,the respective percentage of Pseudomonas aerugionsa,Echerichia coli,Enterobacter cloacae,Klebsiella pneumoniae and Citrobacter was 32.35%,28.67%,18.38%,8.09% and 5.15%,respectively. Most strains (38.9%) were detected in ICU. The common infection sites were lungs. The resistance rate of AmpC enzyme producing strains to the first,second and third-generations cephalosporins was 71.3-99.5%. The susceptive rate of AmpC enzyme producing strains to imipenem,cefepine,amikacin and piperacillin/tazobactant were low. CONCLUSIONS For effective supervision and control of AmpC enzyme producing Gram-negative bacilli in nosocomial infection,detection of AmpC enzyme shoud be paid much attention by clinical microbiology laboratory.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for postoperative liver failure of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and bile duct tumor thrombus through a risk evaluation model.Methods The clinical data of 107 patients with HCC and bile duct tumor thrombus who received hepatic resection at the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital from March 2002 to February 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were divided into the non-liver failure group (98 patients) and liver failure group (9 patients).Risk factors associated with liver failure were analyzed and a risk evaluation model was established.All data were analyzed using the bivariate regression model,and factors with significance were further analyzed using the multivariate regression model.Results Of the 107 patients,105 received hepatic resection + choledochotomy + thrombectomy and 2 received hepatic resection + extrahepatic bile duct resection + cholangiojejunostomy.The operation time was 2.0-5.5 hours,and the intraoperative blood loss was 200-3500 ml.In the non-liver failure group,5 patients had pleural and peritoneal effusion,3 had biliary bleeding,2 had incisional infection,1 had biliary infection,1 had bile leakage,1 had stress-induced ulcer of upper digestive tract and 1 had thoracic epidural hematoma.The bleeding of the patients with thoracic epidural hematoma was stopped after thoracic spinal decompression,but subsequent paraplegia occurred.In the liver failure group,2 patients died of postoperative acute liver failure,and 7 patients died of postoperative subacute liver failure (death caused by tumor recurrence or medicine was excluded).The results of univariate analysis showed that preoperative total bilirubin,albumin,pre-albumin,albumin/globulin ratio,distribution of tumor thrombus,operative blood loss and ratio of postoperative residual liver volume to the total liver volume were correlated with the postoperative liver failure in patients with HCC and bile duct tumor thrombus (OR =3.017,0.191,0.248,2.681,9.048,4.759,13.714,P < 0.05).The results of multivariate analysis showed that preoperative total bilirubin > 256.5 μmol/L,albumin/globulin ratio ≤ 1.3 and postoperative residual liver volume < 50% were the independent risk factors of postoperative liver failure (OR =5.537,11.107,172.450,P < 0.05).The risk evaluation model was Z =1.77 × preoperative total bilirubin + 2.408 × preoperative albumin/globulin ratio + 5.150 × ratio of postoperative residual liver volume to the total liver volume-17.288.The risk of postoperative liver failure increased as the increase of Z value.The risk of postoperative liver failure > 50% when the Z value > 0.Conclusions Preoperative total bilirubin > 256.5μmol/L,albumin/globulin ratio ≤ 1.3 and postoperative residual liver volume < 50% were the independent risk factors of postoperative liver failure.Risk evaluation model is helpful in screening the risk factors so as to decrease the incidence of postoperative liver failure.

Objective To study the effects of the antiarrhythmic drugs of propafenone, amiodarone and dilthiazem on c-type Kv1. 4 channels in Xenopus laevis oocytes with two-electrode voltage-clamp technique. Methods Defolliculated oocytes ( stage Ⅴ - Ⅵ) had transcribed cRNAs of ferret Kv1. 4△N channels injected. The oocytes were continuously perfused with control solution or propafenone, amiodarone and dilthiazem under monitoring of software of Clampfit v 9. 0. Results All of the three drugs blocked ferret Kv1. 4△N channel in voltage-, frequency- and concentration-dependent manners. The values of IC50 (50%inhibiting concentration ) of propafenone, amiodarone and dilthiazem were ( 103.4± 2. 2 ) μ mol/L,(501.22 +5.9) μmol/L and (353.62 +9.9) μmol/L, respectively. The currents under the actions of propafenone , amiodarone and dilthiazem were decreased to 41%, 32% and 21% of control group, respectively. Propafenone (100μ mol/L), Amiodarone (500μmol/L), dilthiazem (350μmol/L) inhibited currents to (54. 6 + 1.9 ) %, ( 46. 3 + 3.5 ) %, ( 52. 8 ± 2. 8 ) % of control group in voltage-dependent blockage. Conclusions The results suggested that all the three drugs blocked the kv1. 4△N channel in the open state. The three drugs block the kv1. 4△N channel maybe had the similiar effects in some respects, but each had its unique characteristics.
