ABSTRACT
Objective::To explore the feasibility of the rapid identification system(MALDI-Biotyper System) of microorganisms for rapid identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and clinical isolation of Staphylococcus aureus. Method::Identification quality control and clinical isolation were conducted for drug resistance of S. aureus by microbial rapid identification system and broth dilution method. The scores of microbial rapid identification system were compared with the MIC value of broth dilution method. The drug resistance of P. aeruginosa was simultaneously identified to determine the accuracy and applicability of the rapid identification system of microorganisms. Result::The scores of the microbial rapid identification system showed that the score of sensitive quality control strain S. aureus was higher than 2.000, and the that of resistant strain of methicillin-resistant S. aureus(methicillin-resistant S. aureus, MRSA)was between 1.700 and 2.000.The score of clinically isolated S. aureus was between 1.700 and 2.000, which suggested the drug resistance and was consistent with the MIC value of the broth dilution method. At the same time, the systemic identification value of the P. aeruginosa, which is independent of the quality control sensitive strain, was greater than 2.000, showing sensitivity and it was a sensitive strain itself, which was consistent with the results. Conclusion::The microbial rapid identification system scoring method can be used for the rapid identification of the drug resistance of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To find a better therapy for extensive cerebral infarction.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Sixty cases with extensive cerebral infarction were treated by surgical decompression. After operation, they were randomly divided into an acupuncture plus medication group and a medication group, 30 cases in each group. The patients in the medication group were treated by routine western medicine, and the patients in the acupuncture plus medication group by the routine western medicine plus acupuncture 2 days after operation with Danzhong (CV 17), Zhongwan (CV 12), Qihai (CV 6), Zusanli (ST 36), Xuehai (SP 10) and Shuigou (GV 26) selected. They were treated for 10 days. The nervous functions were assessed by Chinese Stroke Nerve-function Rating Scale and criteria for clinical therapeutic effect.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>After surgical decompression, the death rate was 20.0%; after operation, acupuncture could significantly improve the neurological functional deficit degree of the patient. The total effective rate of 40.0% in the acupuncture plus medication group was better than 13.3% in the medication group (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The surgical decompression is able to decrease the death rate of extensive cerebral infarction; after the operation, acupuncture and western medicine have cooperative effect on extensive cerebral infarction with a good therapeutic effect.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To probe the best therapy for the patient after operation of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>One hundred cases were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, 50 cases in each group. The control group were treated by routine western medicine (Mannitol, Nifedipine and Caftriaxone sodium and so On), and the treatment group by the medication of the control group plus acupuncture 9 days after operation. Acupuncture was given at Neiguan (PC 6), Shuigou (GV 26), Sanyinjiso (SP 6), Jiquan (HT 1) and Weizhong (BL 40) and so on, combined with scalp acupuncture, with "restoring consciousness and inducing consciousness" needling method, for 10 days. The nervous function defect was assessed by Chinese Stroke Scale and the criteria for assessment of therapeutic effects.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Acupuncture could improve significantly nervous function defect. The total effective rate was 86.000 in the treatment group and 14.0% in the control group with a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The therapeutic effect of the treatment group is better than that of the control group. Acupuncture combined with western medicine has cooperation for treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage with a better therapeutic effect.</p>
