OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and resistance of non-fermenting bacteria isolated from(patients) in 2005 and offer a basis for the treatment of bacterial infection.METHODS The isolated bacteria were(identified) with API identified test(API Inc,France) and Kirby-Bauer(K-B) test used for the antibiotics(susceptivity) test.The data were analyzed by using WHONET-5 software.RESULTS Totally 604 strains of non-fermenting bacteria were isolated from the 2908 pathogenic strains.The most common bacteria were Pseudomonas aeruginosa(52.32%),followed by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia(14.07%) and Acinetobacter baumannii((13.74%)).76.32% of non-fermenting bacteria were isolated from the sputum.These bacteria had various(resistances) to all detected antibiotics.CONCLUSIONS Non-fermenting bacteria have high isolation rate and(multi-drug) resistance,so antibiotics should be used correctly under the guidance of antibiotic susceptibility testing.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical results of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction combined with the lateral retinacular release for the treatment of recurrent patellar dislocation.

METHODSFrom March 2011 to June 2013, 15 patients with recurrent patellar dislocation underwent arthroscopic MPFL reconstruction combined with the lateral retinacular release. The graft was autogenous semitendinosus and semimembranosus tendon. There were 5 males and 10 females with an average age of 19.4 years old (ranged,14 to 32 years old). The patients suffered recurrent patellar dislocation at least twice preoperatively. Preoperative conventional X-ray, CT, and MR examination were used to analyze the causes of the patellofemoral joint and MPFL injury. Preoperative Lysholm score was 69.85 ± 11.52. During operation, the arthroscopic examination was performed to evaluate the patellofemoral alignment and patellar tracking.

RESULTSAll the patients were followed up for an average of 27.6 months (ranged,12 to 36 months) with no recurrent dislocation and sub-dislocation. All the patients showed negative apprehension test at straight and 30 ° flexions of knee. The range of motion of knee returned to normal level at 12 months after operation. There were no patients with subjective discomfort of knee. Postoperative Lysholm score was improved to 92.60 ± 5.75.

CONCLUSIONThe technique of arthroscopic MPFL reconstruction combined with the lateral retinacular release is an effective surgical procedure for the treatment of recurrent patellar dislocation, which can relieve the symptom of knee and improve the patella stability and knee function.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and superiority of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in the diagnosis and treatment of chest trauma feasibility and superiority.Methods 60 cases were randomly selected and divided into the observation group (n =30) and control group (n =30) by random number table.The observation group was treated with VATS and the control group was treated with traditional methods.Incision length,after the first three days of pain,blood transfusion,closed drainage time,drainage,postoperative hospital stay,postoperative day 7 1S forced expiratory volume (FEV1) and other related indicators were compared between the two groups.Results Incision length of the observation group was (7.41 ± 5.52) cm,which was significantly shorter than (18.62 ± 4.11) cm of the control group (t =7.54,P ＜ 0.05).Amount of blood transfusion and drainage of the observation group were (199.88 ± 23.00) mL and (199.52 ± 18.48) mL,which were significantly less than (465.67 ± 41.88) mL and (560.02 ± 44.98) mL of the control group (t =6.38,6.98,all P ＜ 0.05).In the observation group patients after the first three days VAS score was (3.61 ±0.20) points,lower than (6.01 ±0.25) points of the control group (t =6.64,P ＜ 0.05).Postoperative hospital stay was (6.50 ± 0.45) d,shorter than (11.33 ± 0.50) d of the control group(t =7.95,P ＜0.05).Conclusion VATS has the advantages of intuitive and strong,trauma,pain,faster recovery,shorter hospital stay,less closed thoracic drainage,fewer complications and so on in chest injury diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To observe the level of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) and its downstream target gene cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in LPS-treated intestinal epithelial cells,and to explore the possible intervention targets of Rheum emodin.Methods Human intestinal epithelial cells were cultured in vitro treated with LPS to establish the experimental model.The protein level trends of HIF-1α and COX-2 were measured by Western blot in LPS dose-dependent and time-dependent manners.The protein level trends of HIF-1α,COX-2,Phospho-IκB-α and Phospho-NF-κB p65 were measured in LPS plus various concentrations of Rheum emodin treated groups.The expression of HIF-1α mRNA were detected by PCR after cells treated with LPS or LPS plus Rheum emodin,respectively.The effect of Rheum emodin on the proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells was measured by MTT assay in each group.Data were analyzed with ANOVA,and P ＜0.05 was considered significant.Results LPS induced the protein level of HIF-1α in a dose-dependent and a time-dependent manners.With increasing concentrations of LPS,the protein level of HIF-1α increased to the peak when cells were treated with LPS at 10-30mg/mL,and then gradually decreased (P ＜0.05).Firstly the protein level of HIF-1α reached the peak at 0.5 h after treatment,and then decreased to the lowest level at 4 h,and finally returned to a high level (P＜0.05).The protein level trend of COX-2 went a similar way to that of HIF-1α (P ＜0.05).Rheum emodin inhibited the protein levels of LPS-induced HIF-1α,COX-2,Phospho-IκB-α and Phospho-NF-κB p65 with a significant dose-effect relationship (P ＜ 0.05).The PCR showed Rheum emodin inhibited LPS-induced increasing expression of HIF-1α mRNA.MTT assay showed different concentrations of Rheum emodin (0 μmol/L,20 μmol/L,40 μmol/L,60 μmol/L,80 μmol/L) had no significant effect on cell proliferation (0.95 ± 0.02,0.89 ± 0.03,0.88 ± 0.04,0.91 ± 0.03,0.83 ± 0.03,P ＞ 0.05).Although Rheum emodin produced biological effect at this concentration range,and it had no toxicity to intestinal cells.Conclusions LPS induces HIF-1α/COX-2 signaling pathway in a time-dependent and a dose-dependent manners in intestinal epithelial cells.Rheum emodin blocks the hypoxia pathway of LPS/HIF-1α/COX-2 and the inflammatory pathway of LPS/IκB-α/NF-κB/COX-2,which may play a protective effect on intestinal epithelial cells.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the major reasons of wound infection after external fixator application and then introduce management measures to prevent following wound infections. METHODS Totally 542 patients adopting external fixators between May 2005 and May 2007 were retrospectively reviewed. All the external fixator-related infections were inspected and the excretions from these infected wounds were collected to perform bacterial culturing. RESULTS The total infection rate of these 542 patients after external fixator application was 2.77%. Among them, six were infected with the bacteria in distraction osteogenesis group and the infection rate was 8.82%; three were infected in bone un-union and bone defect group and the infection rate was 5.36%; whilest the common fracture-fixing group got the lowest infection rate of 0.39%. CONCLUSIONS Wire-crossing positions are the most frequently infected sites after external fixation and the drug-resisted bacteria are the most commonly detected pathogens. Thus, increasing the stability of fixators, enhancing the infection supervision of operation environment, draining the wound thoroughly and using antibiotics rationally are the most effective managing measures to prevent external fixator-related infections in orthopedics.
