ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the characteristics and influencing factors of healthcare-associated bloodstream infection(HA-BSI)of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE).Methods Retrospective nested case-control study was adopted.Fifty-six patients with CRE HA-BSI in a tertiary general hospital from January 2020 to Decem-ber 2022 were selected as the CRE group.With a 1:1 ratio,56 patients with carbapenem-sensitive Enterobacterales(CSE)BSI during the same period was selected as the CSE group.Distribution of infection strains and departments was analyzed,and the relevant factors for CRE BSI were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.Results The distribution of CRE BSI was mainly in intensive care unit(ICU,n=23,41.07％)and de-partment of hematology(n=17,30.36％).The main infection strains were Klebsiella pneumoniae(n=32,57.14％)and Escherichia coli(n=16,28.57％).Univariate analysis showed that malignant tumor,hospitalization history within 60 days,stay in ICU for＞48 hours before infection,mechanical ventilation,indwelling central venous cathe-ter,combined use of at least two kinds of antimicrobial agents,and duration of antimicrobial use ≥10 days were all related to CRE BSI(all P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis found that stay in ICU＞48 hours before infection and duration of antimicrobial use ≥10 days before infection were independent risk factors for CRE HA-BSI(P＜0.05).Conclusion Clinical departments,especially ICU,should pay attention to the epidemiological history of patients,identify patients with high-risk factors for CRE BSI as early as possible,use antimicrobial agents ratio-nally and standardize invasive procedure,so as to reduce the occurrence of CRE HA-BSI.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To optimize the decoction process of Digda-4 decoction(DGD-4D), and provide reference for the standardization study of decoction of Mongolian medicine decoction. Method:Taking DGD-4D as model drug, different decoction methods of Mongolian medicine were compared, HPLC was used to determine contents of aesculetin, geniposide, picroside Ⅰ and picroside Ⅱ.On the basis of single factor tests, central composite design-response surface methodology was adopted to optimize the decoction process of DGD-4D with transfer rates of 4 components and dry extract rate as indexes, regression model fitting was carried out by Design-Expert 8.0.6 software, prediction model of process parameters was established, and the optimal process was verified. Result:The optimal decoction condition of DGD-4D was determined to be adding 40 times the amount of water and decocting for 17 min, decocting once.Transfer rates of aesculetin, geniposide, picroside Ⅰ, picroside Ⅱ and dry extract rate were 70.01%, 94.11%, 61.23%, 92.32%, 32.89%, respectively. Conclusion:The optimum decoction process of DGD-4D is established, it has important reference significance for excavating, sorting, improving the level of Mongolian medicine preparations and ensuring the consistency of their clinical efficacy.
ABSTRACT
To establish the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fingerprint for Digeda-4 decoction (DGD-4D), determine the contents of aesculetin, geniposide, picroside Ⅰ, picroside Ⅱ and ellagicacid in DGD-4D, and provide the scientific foundation for quality control of DGD-4D. The analysis was performed on Diamonsil(2) C₁₈ (4.6 mm×250 mm,5 μm) column, with methanol-0.1% phosphoric acid aqueous solution as mobile phase for gradient elution. The flow rate was 1.0 mL·min⁻¹; injection size was 10 μL; temperature was maintained at 30 °C, and the detection wavelength was set at 254 nm. The common mode of DGD-4D HPLC fingerprint was established, and the hidden information was analyzed by Chemometrics. Chromatographic peaks for DGD-4D were identified by HPLC and quantitative analysis was conducted for characteristic peaks. There were 17 common peaks in the fingerprints and the similarity of the fingerprints was over 0.9 in all 15 batches. The samples were broadly divided into four kinds by principal component analysis and clustering analysis. Four marker compounds were verified by partial least squares discriminant analysis, and No. 9, 12 and 14 peaks were identified as geniposide, picroside Ⅱ, and picroside Ⅰ respectively. The average recoveries were in the range of 95.91%-97.31%. The HPLC fingerprint method for content determination is reliable, accurate, rapid, simple, and reproducible, and can be used as one of the effective methods to control the quality of DGD-4D.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect and safety of inhaling magnesium sulfate on infants with acute bronc-hiolitis. Methods Ninty infants with bronchiolitis were divided into 3 groups randomly and received either magnesium sulfate infusion inhalation or intravenous injection or normal saline inhalation respectively. The change of parameters of each group were observed and compared. Results Magnesium sulfate inhalation group and intravenous injection group were superior to control group in terms of the improvement of blood gas, clinical scores, continuous time of symptoms,signs, hospital days and clinical total efficiency(P
