Objective
To explore the microbiological etiology and antibiotic susceptibility of periopertive urinary tract infection (UTI) in patients undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty, so as to provide recommendations for antibiotic treatment.
Methods
A retrospective review was conducted for patients with perioperative UTI who underwent hip or knee arthroplasty between January 1st, 2013 and October 1st, 2015. Microbiological data and antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria were analyzed.
Results
A total of 117 strains of bacteria were identified, including 11 types of species. Among the organisms cultured, 86.3% (101 strains) were gram-negative bacteria, in which Escherichia coli
was the most common causative organism (70.9%, 83 strains), followed by Klebsiella species (7.7%, 9 strains) and Proteus mirabilis (3.4%, 4 strains). And among the gram-positive bacteria detected, the proportion of Enterococcus faecalis and Feces Enterococcus was 6.8% (8 strains) and 3.4% (4 strains), respectively. The bacteria showed highly resistance to cephalosporins, quinolones and sulfonamides, but showed high sensitive to nitrofurantoin, carbopenems, the enzyme inhibitor complex and aminoglycoside antibiotics.
Conclusions
There is a diversity of bacteria involved in UTI, and the top 3 pathogens are Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis and Klebsiella species. The resistance rate is high, and nitrofurantoin, amilacin, piperacillin-tazobactam, cefoperazone-sulbactam are the recommended antibiotics to treat the UTI, but the antibiotic should be adjusted according to susceptibility results.
Objective To investigate the relationship of small airway function with airway sensitivity and reactivity and assess the factors influencingairway hyperresponsiveness (AHR).Methods Data of consecutive subjects with suspected asthma who had a≥20% reduction in FEV1 after ≤12.8 mmol/L cumulative doses of methacholine were analyzed from January 2005 to April 2006.Airway sensitivity was assessed by the cumulative dose of methacholine required to cause 20% reduction in FEV1 (PD20).Airway reactivity was analyzed using the slope of the dose-response curve (DRS).The DRS was defined as the reduction in FEV1 from baseline after the final dose of methacholine inhaled divided by the cumulative dose inhaled.Because of their highly skewed distribution，DRS was logarithmically transformed (log10) for all analysis.Results A total of 184 consecutive subjects aged 16 to 80 years was enrolled.There were 70 male (38.0%) and 114 female (62.0%) subjects.Subjects with higher airway sensitivity，indicated by lower PD20，also had a lower Vmax50% and Vmax25%，and vise versa.PD20 was negatively correlated wit log10DRS (r=-0.874，Plt;0.01).In a simple linear regression model，log10DNS was significantly correlated with FEV1%，Vmax50% or Vmax25% respectively (the determinant r2 were 0.062，0.097 and 0.085，respectively，all Plt;0.01).In a multiple linear regression model that included age，height，and percentage of predicted FEV1，Vmax50% and Vmax25% accounted for 3.9% and 2.6%，respectively，of variability in airway reactivity.The association between Vmax50% and log10DNS was significant in both male and female subjects.The r2 was higher in male subjects.The subjects were divided into three age groups and the association between Vmax50% or Vmax25% and log10DNS was higher in female than in male for age≤25 years，higher in male than in female for 25 -45 years.No association was found for agegt;45 years in both males and females.Conclusions Impaired small airway function is associated with higher airway sensitivity and reactivity to methacholine in subjects with suspected asthma.
Objective To summarize the current advancement of preoperative radiotherapy for rectal cancer. Methods Relevant literatures about current advancement of preoperative radiotherapy for rectal cancer published domesticly and abroad recently were collected and reviewed. Results The lower local recurrence rate and longer disease-free survival time were observed in preoperative radiotherapy， compared with postoperative radiotherapy for rectal cancer. The recurrence rate was higher in short-course radiotherapy， compared with conventionally radiotherapy for stageⅢrectal cancer， but there was no significant difference for stageⅡrectal cancer. The biology molecular such as p53， CEA， Cox-2， EGFR， and VEGF had shown to be radiosensitive. Conclusions The proposal of preoperative radiotherapy for rectal cancer， could be prone to conventionally radiotherapy. There are more screening targets for preoperative radiotherapy in extensive exploration of diverse radiosensitivity. Biology molecular， developed gene expression profiling， and gene chips for rectal cancer may contribute to the individualization treatment.
Objective To determine if the levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein ( hs-CRP)and fibrinogen ( Fbg) can predict the risk of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD) . Methods hs-CRP was measured by latex-enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay and Fbg was assessed by Von Clauss method. The number of exacerbations was recorded during a 6-month follow-up period. Results Fifty patients with stable COPD were enrolled in the study, of whom48 patients completed the trial and two patients dropped out. During the follow-up, 16 patients had once or more acute exacerbations while other 32 patients had no acute exacerbation. The patients were stratified into two groups ( A-exacerbation, B-no exacerbation) . At the baseline, the patients of the group A had lower FEV1 than thegroup B [ ( 1. 1 ±0. 4) L vs. ( 1. 4 ±0. 5) L, P lt;0. 05] . And the group A had higher hs-CRP and Fbg than the group B [ hs-CRP: ( 4. 6 ±3. 3) mg/L vs. 4. 3 mg/L( IQR 5. 5 mg/L) , P lt;0. 05] ; Fbg: ( 3. 8 ±0. 7) g/L vs. ( 3. 1 ±0. 5) g/L, P lt;0. 05] . Nine of 16 patients with a higher level of hs-CRP( hs-CRP gt;3 mg/L) had acute exacerbations. Seven of other 32 patients with normal hs-CRP level had acute exacerbations. The difference in the acute exacerbations rate between the two groups was significant ( 56. 25% vs. 21. 88% , P lt;0. 05) . All four patients with a higher level of Fbg( Fbg gt;4 g/L) had acute exacerbations. Twelve of 44 patients with normal Fbg level ( Fbg≤4 g/L) had acute exacerbations. The patients with Fbg more than 4 g/L had a higher rate of acute exacerbations( 100% vs. 27. 27%, P lt;0. 05) . After adjusting by age, bodymass index ( BMI) , FEV1 , tobacco consumption and other chronic diseases, the risk of acute exacerbation in individuals with baseline hs-CRP gt;3 mg/L was 9. 33 times higher than those with baseline hs-CRP≤3 mg/L ( 95% CI 1. 870-46. 573) . Conclusion Higher level of hs-CRP is associated with the high risk of exacerbation in patients with COPD.
Objective To explore the value of chemosensitivity assay in vitro on breast cancer. Methods In vitro chemosensitivity of 6 species of chemotherapeutic agents applied to 38 cases of breast cancer patients were detected by tissue culture-end point staining-computer image analysis (TECIA). Results The sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents commonly used in the breast cancer level from high to low was as follow: Doxorubicin (ADM), Paclitaxel (TAX), Vinorelbine (NVB), Cyclophosphamide (CTX), Cisplatin (DDP) and Fluorouracil (FU). Conclusion Drugs sensitivity experiment of cancer in vitro by TECIA has an important value to instruct clinical medication and individual chemotherapy for breast cancer.
Objective To investigate the correlation between OPRM1 A118G gene polymorphism and Eysenck personality type and pain sensitivity. Methods The surgical patients who were transferred from Department of Emergency Medicine to Department of General Surgery of Luzhou People’s Hospital between January 2018 and December 2020 were selected. Before surgery, Eysenck Personality Questionnai (EPQ) was used to investigate the patient’s personality type, and the pain threshold and pain tolerance threshold were determined by electric stimulation instrument. The OPRM1 A118G genotype of peripheral venous blood was detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis technique. Patients were divided into wild homozygous (A/A) group, mutant heterozygous (A/G) group and mutant homozygous (G/G) group according to the typing results. The general condition, pain sensitivity, EPQ score, difference of Eysenck personality type and correlation between Eysenck personality type and pain sensitivity were analyzed. Results A total of 356 patients were enrolled, including 174 in A/A group, 136 in A/G group and 46 in G/G group. The mutation rate of OPRM1 A118G gene was 32.00%. There were statistically significant differences in pain sensitivity (pain threshold, pain tolerance threshold) and scores of introverted and extraverted, neurotic and dissemble personality types among three groups (P<0.05). There were significant differences in introverted and extraverted and psychotic personality types among the three groups (P<0.05). There were significant differences in pain threshold and pain tolerance threshold among different introverted, extraverted and psychotropic personality types (P<0.05). Conclusion Both OPRM1 A118G gene polymorphism and Eysenck personality type have influence on pain sensitivity, and there is a correlation between them.

Objective To estimate the cost of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in public hospitals and analyze the main influencing factors of the cost, in order to provide evidence for the optimal application of CRRT technology. Methods In March 2021, activity-based costing was used to estimate and analyze the cost of CRRT, the data of which were collected from 5 hospitals in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Henan, Sichuan and Xinjiang, and single factor sensitivity analysis was used to find the main influencing factors of the cost. Results The hourly treatment costs of CRRT in the 5 hospitals ranged from 265.30 to 474.44 yuan, with an average of 376.81 yuan. The costs of manpower and filters accounted for the top two largest proportions, the manpower cost of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration and continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration accounted for 22.90% and 21.51%, respectively, and the filters cost of the two types of CRRT accounted for 15.07% and 17.73%, respectively. The unit cost and cost composition varied greatly between hospitals. There were four factors affecting the unit cost, namely clinical operation, efficiency, price and patient, among which clinical operation difference was the primary factor leading to cost difference. Conclusions The application cost of CRRT technology varies greatly among hospitals, and there are many factors affecting the cost. Public hospitals face great pressure in cost control. It is necessary to strengthen the internal control operation management of public hospitals, establish CRRT clinical operation standards, and improve the quality of medical services in public hospitals.
ObjectiveTo explore the changes of plasma prealbumin (PA), homocysteine (Hcy) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels before and after treatment in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), and analyze the correlation of PA and Hcy with hs-CRP and body mass index (BMI).MethodsA total of 132 hospitalized AECOPD patients with GOLD lung function as grade III-IV were recruited as an experimental group and 45 healthy subjects as a control group. The levels of plasma PA, Hcy and hs-CRP were measured by automatic biochemical analyzer, and the main indexes of pulmonary function were determined in all subjects.ResultsCompared with the control group, the level of plasma PA before and after treatment in the experimental group decreased significantly [(146.49±36.53) mg/L and (219.60±41.29) mg/L vs. (269.48±42.63) mg/L], the level of plasma Hcy before and after treatment increased significantly [(16.44±5.21) μmol/L and (12.61±4.56) μmol /L vs. (10.13±3.25) μmol/L], and the levels of plasma hs-CRP before and after treatment increased significantly [(45.24±29.94) mg/L and (7.71±3.41) mg/L vs. (5.01±1.52) mg/L] (all P<0.05). The levels of plasma PA, Hcy and hs-CRP after treatment were significantly better than before treatment in the experimental group (allP<0.01). The plasma PA values before and after treatment were negatively correlated with the level of hs-CRP before and after treatment, and positively correlated with BMI (bothP<0.05).ConclusionsThe levels of plasma PA, Hcy and hs-CRP are significantly different before and after the treatment in AECOPD patients and the healthy controls. PA is negatively correlated with hs-CRP and positively correlated with BMI. The detection of plasma PA and Hcy can help to determine the condition and efficacy of patients with COPD, and PA can reflect the level of inflammation and nutritional status to a certain extent.
