Objective To analyze the antimicrobial resistance profile and homology of the Acinetobacter baumannii strains isolated from Rushan People's Hospital in a three-year period for better control of hospital infections.Methods A.baumannii strains were isolated from clinical specimens during the period from 2013 to 2015.Homology analysis were conducted by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) for 60 randomly selected isolates.Results A total of 567 A.baumannii isolates were isolated,85 isolates in 2013,156 in 2014,and 326 in 2015.These isolates were mainly from Department of Respiratory Diseases (47.4％) and ICU (23.8 ％).Overall,62.1％ of the isolates were from sputum specimens followed by secretions (15.2％).All isolates were sensitive to polymyxin B,but all resistant to sulfamethoxazole and ampicillin.The A.baumannii isolates showed increasing resistance rate to imipenem,meropenem,ceftriaxone,and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole over the 3-year period,but decreasing resistance rate to gentamicin.The 60 selected isolates were grouped into 4 types by PFGE.A-type was the main pattern.Conclusions A.baumannii strains were mainly isolated from inpatients with respiratory tract infections.The A.baumannii strains showed serious antimicrobial resistance associated with possible clonal spread in this hospital.

Objective To observe the distribution and possible mechanism of P2X7R in periaq-ueductal gray matter (PAG)in a rat model with chronic neuropathic pain in vivo.Methods The in-trathecal catheterization and sciatic nerve injury (SNI)were performed.All animals were randomly assigned into 3 groups with 26 rats in each,which was group Sham,control group (group C)and brilliant blue G (BBG)group (group BBG),respectively.Normal saline or BBG 10 μl were intrathe-cally injected after SNI and repeated for seven days.Paw-withdrawal mechanical thresholds (PWT) were measured on day 0,day 7,day 14,and day 21 after SNI.The rats were sacrificed and PAG tis-sues were collected on day 14 and day 21,separately.The distributions of P2X7R were observed by immunofluorescence.The protein contents of P2X7R and GFAP were assessed by Western blot assays.Results The P2X7R was expressed in PAG in rats.The PWTs of the control group showed a significant decrease during the 21-day period compared with the sham group.The P2X7R signals were predominantly expressed in astrocytes in PAG after SNI.Both P2X7R and GFAP expression remark-ably increased.Administration of BBG increased the PWTs,and inhibited the P2X7R and GFAP ex-pressions compared with those atthe same point of time of the control group.Conclusion These results indicated that P2X7R in PAG might participate in nociception modulation in the midbrain in chronic neuropathic pain.
