Objective To understand and analysis of the pathogens distribution and drug resistance of nosocomial infection in children′s hospital,so as to provide reliable scientific basis for the prevention and control of hospital infection.Methods 396 cases of upper respiratory tract specimens were collected from pediatric patients with nosocomial infection.These specimens were detected by sputum specimens conventional methods of microorganism cultivation,and K-B method was used to determine the bacteria sensi-tivities to clinical common drug.Results There were 225 cases of specimens were pathogen positive among all the 396 specimens, and 234 strains of bacteria were isolated in all.The positive isolated rate was 56.8%(225/396).Among the 234 isolated strains, Gram negative bacteria accounted for 72.6%(170/234),and Klebsiella occupied the first place[49.4%(84/170)].Gram positive bacteria accounted for 23.5%(55/234),and Staphylococcus had the highest isolated rate in Gram positive bacteria[58.2% (32/55)].In all the 9 kinds of clinical common antimicrobial agents,imipenem had high drug sensitivity to the 234 isolated strains,and the aminoglycosides came next.Conclusion It is necessary for the pediatric patients with nosocomial infection to collect upper re-spiratory tract specimens for bacteriologic studies and drug sensitivity tests.

PURPOSE: Recent evidence suggests that B cells can both promote and inhibit the development and progression of allergic disease. However, the characteristics of B cell subsets in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) have not been well documented. This study aimed to analyze the characteristics of B cell subsets in the peripheral blood of AR patients. METHODS: Forty-seven AR patients and 54 healthy controls were enrolled in this study, and the B cell subsets in peripheral blood of all subjects were analyzed by flow cytometry. Moreover, the serum total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and IgE concentrations secreted into the cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were measured by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: We found the peripheral blood of AR patients contained higher percentages of memory B cells, plasma cells, and CD19+CD24hiCD27+ regulatory B cells (Bregs) than those of age-matched healthy controls (P < 0.05), while the percentages of naïve B cells and CD19+CD24hiCD38hi Bregs were significantly lower in AR patients than in healthy individuals (P < 0.05). In addition, the serum total IgE and IgE concentrations secreted into the cultured PBMCs were elevated in AR patients than in the healthy controls (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that AR patients were characterized by increase in terminally differentiated memory B cells or plasma cells and decreases in CD19+CD24hiCD38hi Breg cells in the peripheral blood.
