ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation between vitamin E and community acquired pneumonia (CAP) .Methods A total of 128 cases of CAP(CAP group) and 135 people undergoing the healthy physical examination (excluding CAP ,control group) in our hospital from Jan .2016 to Dec .2016 were chosen .Each group was divided into the age subgroups of 0-17 years old ,18-40 years old and 41-65 years old .Vitamin E ,Chlamydia pneumoniae(CPn) and mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP) were detected in all the subjects .Then the obtained data were statistically analyzed .Results The average vitamin E was (15 .43 ± 4 .37)mg/L in the control group and (6 .37 ± 3 .24)mg/L in the CAP group ,the difference between the two group was statistically significant(P<0 .05) .In the control group ,there were 7 cases of MP positive and 6 cases of CPn positive .In the CAP group ,there were 32 cases of MP posi‐tive and 25 cases of CPn positive .The differences of MA and CPn positive between the two groups were statistically significant(P<0 .05) .The vitamin E levels in the 0 -17 years old ,18 -40 years old and 41 -65 years old subgroups of the control group were (14 .75 ± 4 .12) ,(16 .42 ± 4 .35) ,(16 .42 ± 4 .35)mg/L respectively ,while which in the various subgroups of the CAP group were (5 .43 ± 3 .18) ,(7 .74 ± 3 .65) ,(7 .74 ± 3 .65)mg/L respectively ,the difference in different age groups between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Maintaining a high level of serum vitamin E level could effectively prevent CAP .
ABSTRACT
Objective To preliminarily understand the genotype characteristics of Toxoplasma gondii in blood of HIV?posi?tive persons in Lincang City,Yunnan Province. Method Two segments of SAG2 gene of T. gondii from blood samples of HIV?positive persons in Lincang City were extracted and amplified by using the nested PCR method and the genotype was identified and compared with the standard strain(Type I)of Toxoplasma gondii. Results Thirty?five SAG2 genes(241 bp)and 35 SAG2 genes(221 bp)of T. gondii were amplified from 170 blood samples of the HIV?positive people,and 4 of each case were selected and digested with enzyme,then 2 aim gene fragments of each case were chosen and compared with the standard strain (Type I)of T. gondii. The digestion of SAG2 gene(241 bp)showed the genotype of the blood samples was Type I or Type II, and the digestion of SAG2 gene(221 bp)confirmed that the genotype was Type I. Conclusion It is preliminarily confirmed that the genotype of T. gondii in blood of HIV?positive persons in Lincang City,Yunnan Province is Type I.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the characteristics of distribution and the changes in drug resistance of Enterococci,providing reference for clinical treatment.Methods The distribution and drug resistance in 2547 clinical isolates of Enterococci from 2001 to 2007 in Huzhou Central Hospital and the First People's Hospital of Huzhou were retrospectively analyzed.Results A total of 2547 strains of Enterococci were isolated from 94876 clinical specimens(2.68%),in which Enterococcus faecalis wag primary and Enterococcus faecium Wag ranking the second.The positive rate of Enterococci in urine specimens was the highest,and that in sputum specimens was increasing recently.Enterococci showed higg resistance to erythromycin,rifampin,ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin;Enterococcus faecalis Wag more sensitive to penicillin,ampiciilin and ndtrofurantoin than Enterococcus faecium,while Euterococcus faecium was more sensitive to chloramphended and tetracycline than Enterococcus faecalis;both of them were sensitive to vaneomycin and teicoplanin.Conclusions Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium are the common pathogen in Enterococci infections.Enterococci show high drug resistance,so the clinical use of antibiotics should be based on the resuhs of drug sensitivity test.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To study the mechanism of drug-resistance of multi-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and provide the guideline for treatment and control of P.aeruginosa infection in hospital.METHODS Fifty strains of multi-resistant P.aeruginosa were selected with K-B susceptibility method.The three-dimensional method was taken to differentiate the various beta-lactamases.The relative drug-resistance gene was detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR).RESULTS Among 50 strains of multi-resistant P.aeruginosa,there were 2 strains(4%)producing ESBLs,20 strains(40%)producing AmpC beta-lactamases,and 11 strains(22%) producing ESBLs and AmpC beta-lactamases at the same time.There were 8 positive genes in the detected drug-resistance gene,the most common sources of gene were CTX(56%),OprD(60%) and aac(6′)-Ⅱ(60%),respectively.CONCLUSIONS The main beta-lactamases are AmpC beta-lactamases and the main genotype is CTX in the multi-resistant P.aeruginosa cultured in our area.The main course of imipenem-resistance was deletion of outer membrane proteins,and the aminoglycoside modifying enzyme gene and disinfectant-resistance gene in multi-resistant P.aeruginosa are acquired.In order to reduce the drug-resistance strains and control the infection of P.aeruginosa,antibiotics should be used reasonably according to drug susceptibility testing clinically.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate the changes in serum HBV-DNA level in HBsAg positive patients before and after operation and their infectious risk in hospital.METHODS HBV markers(HBV-M) in serum was detected in 58 HBsAg positive patients by time-resolved fluoroimmunometric assay before operation.HBV-DNA level in serum of them before operation and at 3rd,and 7th day after operation was detected by real time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction.We also detected HBV-DNA in gastric drainage juice and abdominal drainage after operation.RESULTS HBV-DNA was detected in 27 of 58 HBsAg positive patients' serum,the positive rate was 46.1%.After operation,serum HBV-DNA was increased remarkably at 3rd and 7th day compared with before operation in these patients respectively(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the relationship between the substype of peripheral blood CD8 lymphocyte in patients with chronic hepatitis virus B and clinic condition and the replication of HBV. Methods CD45RO, CD45RA and CD28 of peripheral blood CD8 lymphocyte were detected by flow cytometry with multicolor fluorescence technology in 107 patients with chronic hepatitis virus B and 20 healthy volunteers. Results The total quantity of CD8 lymphocyte in patientswith chronic hepatitis virus B was not different from that in controls. The percent of CD3+ CD8+/CD45R0+ cells in patients with chronic active hepatitis was significantly higher than that of the control (15.7?3. 35)% vs( 8. 56?1. 12)% , P
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the up regulation of captopril on the platelet nitric oxide(NO) synthase and clinical application in patients with ischemic stroke.Methods The washed platelets in vitro of the patients with acute ischemic stroke and healthy controls were added with oxidized LDL(oxLDL) and captopril followed by measurement of platelet NO synthase activity.Plasma oxLDL,NO sythase,NO and platelet NO sythase,NO in 40 patients were measured before oral captopril and after oral captropril 1 month,3 months.Results (1)After the washed platelets in vitro were added with oxLDL,the platelet NO synthase activities of the patients and controls were all significantly decreased( P
