ObjectiveTo retrospectively analyze antibiotic resistance and clinical characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains for guiding the rational use of antibiotics in the area of the Bai nationality.MethodsThe antibiotic resistance and clinical characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains were retrospective analyzed, which were isolated from specimens of inpatients in First People’s Hospital of Dali between May 2016 and May 2017.ResultsAmong the 1 342 samples of various kinds of samples, 262 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae were isolated, with the detection rate of 19.52% (262/1342). Clinical isolated strains were mainly from the new pediatric, intensive care unit, respiratory medicine, pediatrics, and mostly from sputum specimens (78.24%, 205/262). By screening of 22 kinds of antimicrobial agents, all strains had ampicillin resistance (100.00%), while none of these strains had ertapenem resistance. Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) positive strains’ resistance rate was higher than ESBLs negative strains (χ2=261.992, P<0.01). There were 76 drug resistant profiles, most of which were multidrug-resistant bacteria except 116 (44.27%) strains were resistant to ampicillin antibiotics only. And the number of strains in other resistant types ranged from 1 to 16. Only one of 262 strains had amikacin resistance, two of them were resistant to imipenem and meroenan.ConclusionsThere are many multidrug-resistant bacteria in Klebsiella pneumoniae in the population of Bai nationality, and there are no extensively drug resistant bacteria and pandrug-resistant bacteria strains. The strains of carbapene-resistant antibiotics should be worthy of clinical attention.
Hyperprolactinemia is the common clinical syndrome; the causes of hyperprolactinemia are physiological, pharmacological, and pathological, in which prolactinoma is the most common cause. In drug therapy, dopamine agonists are the first choice, but there are 10%–20% of the patients who are resistant to drug therapy. This paper mainly summarized the causes, treatments, mechanisms of drug resistance, treatment during pregnancy, and progresses in the treatment of prolactinoma, so as to provide some theoretical basis to further research of hyperprolactinemia.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo establish adriamycin (ADM) resistant pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990/ADM and to investigate its drug resistance mechanism.MethodsADM-resistant pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990/ADM was obtained by culture of pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990 in vitro with intermittently increasing the concentration of ADM in the culture medium for ten months. After two months of drug free culture, its biological characteristics, drug sensitivity as well as the expression and function of multidrug resistant gene 1 (mdr1) were detected, respectively. ResultsCompared with the parental cell line, SW1990/ADM showed great changes in biological characteristics and developed a cross resistance to various chemotherapy drugs. The drug resistance indexes of cell line SW1990/ADM to ADM, mitomycin, fluorouracil and gemcitabine were 49.60, 7.25, 3.80 and 1.25, respectively. The level of mdr1 mRNA expression in cell line SW1990/ADM was much higher than that of the parental cell line（P＜0.01). ConclusionWe have established adriamycin resistant pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990/ADM with multidrug resistance phenotype, its multidrug resistance is positively relevant to the expression of mdr1.
Objective To investigate the drug resistance and homogeneous analysis of Acinetobacter baumanii in emergency intensive care unit ( EICU) . Methods Four multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii ( MDR-Ab) strains isolated fromnosocomial inpatients fromJuly 25 to September 7 in 2009 were collected and tested for drug sensitivity and MIC determination as well. The A. baumannii isolates were typed with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis ( PFGE) to determine whether they derived fromthe same clone.Results Four isolates from nosocomial inpatients were resistant to multiple antibiotics including carbapenem. The PFGE types identified from four isolates were A and B. The A. baumannii isolates did not derived from the same clone. Conclusion The prevalence of nosocomial infection is not due to transmission of the same strains among different individuals in EICU.
Objective
To review the clinical features and trend in antimicrobial resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) bloodstream infections.
Methods
Retrospective analysis was performed by collecting data of underlying diseases, potential risk factors, clinical characteristics, blood test results, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health EvaluationⅡ (APACHEⅡ) scores at onset, bacterial resistance to antibiotics and antimicrobial therapy were collected in Hunan Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2010 to June 2016.
Results
There were 114 non-duplicated A. baumannii complex blood isolates identified in this research. All patients had at least one underlying disease and accepted at least one surgery or invasive operation within the past 14 days. Multidrug-resistant A. baumannii (MDRAB) was isolated from 89 (78.1%) patients. Of the 114 strains of A. baumannii, 12.3% were resistant to tigecycline, 55.3% to amikacin and 61.4% to cefoperazone-sulbactam. The overall mortality was 51.8% (59/114). The patients with MDRAB had higher mortality rate than those with non-MDRAB (62.9% vs. 12.0%, χ2=20.268, P<0.001). With higher incidence of being in the intensive care unit, intubation/tracheotomy and increased APACHEⅡ score among patients with MDRAB bacteremia (P<0.05). Compared with subjects treated with tigecycline based regimen, those treated with non tigecycline for multidrug resistantA. baumannii had a higher mortality (64.8% vs. 60.0%) but there was no statistical significance (P>0.05).
Conclusions
The isolated A. baumannii are mainly multidrug resistant and with high mortality. Being in the intensive care unit, increased APACHEⅡ score and intubation/tracheotomy were risk factors for higher mortality among patients with MDRAB bloodstream infection. Tigecycline based regimen doesn’t improve patients’ prognosis.
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment and outcomes of patients with Acinetobacter baumannii peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients with Acinetobacter baumannii peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis in the First Affiliated Hospital of Airforce Military University from January 2011 to December 2018. The clinical baseline data, treatment process, microbiological data, antibiotic susceptibility test of the bacterial isolates and outcomes were analyzed.ResultsA total of 10 patients were enrolled, including 4 males and 6 females. The average age of all patients was (44.90±17.03) years, the average age of peritoneal dialysis was (21.70±17.06) months. Seven cases were infected for the first time, and 3 cases were reinfected. The infections were mainly caused by mechanical failure of catheter connection system (3 cases) or enterogenous infection (3 cases). The main symptoms were abdominal pain (10 cases), fever (7 cases) and diarrhea (3 cases). Empirical anti-infective treatment was given after admission, only 1 case was effective, and the treatment of the other 9 cases were adjusted according to the results of drug sensitivity. Acinetobacter baumannii was sensitive to cefoperazone, carbapenem (meropenem, imipenem), quinolones (ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin), aminoglycosides (gentamicin) and polymyxin. Only one case was resistant to ceftazidime. Among the 10 patients, 8 cases were cured (continued peritoneal dialysis), 1 case died, and 1 case dropped out from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis.ConclusionsAcinetobacter baumannii peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis in this hospital is mainly caused by mechanical disturbance of catheter connection system or enterogenic infection. Appropriate measures, including aseptic standard operation, follow-up and effective anti-infective treatment, should be taken to decrease the incidence and mortality of Acinetobacter baumannii peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis.
Objective To observe the effect of resveratrol on multidrug resistance (MDR) in human retinoblastoma cells treated. Methods RB cells in logarithmic growth phase were divided into experimental group and control group. RB cells in experimental group were cultured with different concentrations of resveratrol (6.25, 12.50, 25.00, 50.00, 100.00 mu;mol/L) for 24 and 48 hours. The proliferation (absorbance value) was assayed using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT). RB cells were cultured with 50.00 mu;mol/L resveratrol for 48 hours. The expressions of MDR-1, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)、multidrug resistance-associated protein-1 (MRP-1), glutathione-S-transferases-pi; (GST-pi;) were determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot. The RB cells of the control group were cultured with 0.5% dimethyl sulfoxide. Results Compared with the control group, the absorbance value decreased in experimental groups (6.25, 12.50, 25.00, 50.00 mu;mol/L) in a dose dependent manner (F=4.782，P＜0.05). The difference of absorbance value between 50.00 and 100.00 mu;mol/L experimental groups was not significant (F=6.351,P＞0.05). Compared with the control group, the mRNA (t=9.170, 5.758, 4.152, 4.638) and protein (t=3.848, 5.955, 4.541, 3.514) expression levels of MDR-1, MRP1, COX-2, and GST-pi; decreased in the experimental group (P＜0.05). Conclusion Resveratrol can down-regulate the expression of MDR in RB cells.
Objective

Methods
One case of primary tuberculousis meningitis infected with multidrug-resistant mycobacteria was analyzed retrospectively.Relevant literatures were also reviewed by retrieving information through Wanfang Database and Pubmed using key words "multiple drug resistant tuberculosis meningitis","MDR tuberculosis meningitis","multiple drug resistant TBM","mul-drug resistant tuberculous meningitis","extensively drug resistant tuberculosis meningitis","XDR TBM","extensively drug resistant TBM" both in Chinese and English.
Results
A 24-year-old male patient,complained of headache,vomiting for 5 days,aggravated with mental abnormalities for 10 hours,with no history of pulmonary tuberculosis,was hospitalized in the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical College.The chest plain film was normal.Craniocerebral CT scan showed mild-hydrocephalus and cisterna ambiens stenosis.The patient died after undergoing anti-TB treatments with isoniazid(INH)0.3g iv qd,INH 0.3g po qd,rifampicin(RFP)0.45g qd,pyrazinamide(PZA)1.5g qd,ethambutol(EMB)0.75g qd,and dexamethasone(DEX)15mg qd.He was diagnosed as XDR-TB meningitis(as drug-resistant to isoniazid,rifampicin,streptomycin,ciprofloxacin,paminosalicylic acid,kanamycin,and protionamide ).Mycobacteria tuberculosis was isolated from his cerebrospinal fluid after 3 months.Five cases in 4 literatures were retrieved through Wanfang database and Pubmed among which 2 cases were initial treated,3 cases was unknown about initial treatment or re-treatment.
Conclusions
XDR-TB meningitis is rare in clinical practice with serious condition,rapid progress and high mortality rate.It is necessary to acquire drug susceptibility test results as soon as possible and adjust treatments according different conditions.A molecular drug susceptibility test may be helpful in the future.
ObjectiveTo analyze the curative effect and prognosis of drug resistant tuberculosis meningitis (TBM).
MethodsRetrospective analysis was carried out on the clinical data of thirty-two cases of drug resistant tuberculous meningitis patients hospitalized from January 2010 to December 2015. And the prognosis of the patients was evaluated by meliorated Rankin Scale (mRS).
ResultsThirty-one cases (96.9%) were improved in 32 patients with drug resistant TBM, and 1 case (3.1%) was ineffective. After treatment, one patient had hormone-related glaucoma and osteoporosis, and one patient had drug Cushing syndrome. Twenty-seven patients (84.4%) had an mRS score equal to or less than 2 points.
ConclusionDrug resistant TBM is difficult to diagnose in the early stage, and the curative effect is satisfying with active anti-tuberculosis treatment.
ObjectiveTo compare and analyze the differences of bacterial resistance of 3 different strains of bacteria isolated from Mohnarin cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), blood and bile of literature published in China, to provide the basis for clinical rational drug use.
MethodsWe searched databases including CNKI and WanFang Data for reports about bacterial resistance from Mohnarin CSF, blood and bile from 2006 to 2014. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and analyzed the differences of bacterial resistance from CSF, blood and bile by SPSS 19.0 software.
ResultsComposition ratio of the gram positive bacteria from CSF specimens was much higher than those of the blood and the bile (χ2=383.118, P<0.001). The separation of E. coli, K. pneumoniae, E. cloacae, P. aeruginosa, A. baumannii, E. faecium and E. faecalis from CSF exhibited multi-drug resistance, and their resistance rates to commonly used antimicrobial agents were significantly higher than those from blood and bile (P<0.001), especially the A. baumannii, K. pneumoniae, E. cloacae and E. faeciu, and their overall resistance rates to commonly used antimicrobial drugs were 68.1%, 60.5%, 59.8%, and 59.4%, respectively. The top three antibiotics with higher resistance rate were piperacillin, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim and cefotaxime in A. baumannii, piperacillin, ceftriaxone and cefotaxime in K. pneumoniae, cefoxitin, Ampicillin/sulbactam and cefuroxime in E. cloacae, penicillin G, ampicillin and erythromycin in E. faecium. The resistant rates of quinolone in E. coli, E. cloacae, A. baumannii and E. faecium from CSF specimens were high, but low in K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa and E. faecalis.
ConclusionThere are differences for drug resistance of the bacteria from different specimens from Mohnarin, the bacteria from CSF specimens exhibits multi-drug resistance, the resistances are significantly higher than those from blood and bile.
