ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the antimicrobial resistance and pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns of S.paratyphi A strains in Zhengzhou city isolated from sentinel hospitals in 2013-2015.@*Methods@#According to Salmonella molecular typing and K-B drug susceptibility testing method published by international PulseNet bacterial infectious disease monitoring network and USA Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI2015), we analyzed drug sensitivity and PFGE molecular characteristics of 67 S.paratyphi A strains(11 strains in 2013, 7 strains in 2014, 49 strains in 2015) isolated from blood and stool samples in two sentinel hospitals of fever with rash syndrome surveillance system established in Zhengzhou city in 2013-2015.@*Results@#The results showed 67 strains of S.paratyphi A had different levels of resistance to 13 kinds of antibiotics, 65 strains were multi-drug resistant strains (97.0%), 5 isolates were resistant to 2-3 kinds of antibiotics (7.5%), 41 isolates were resistant to 5-8 kinds of antibiotics (61.2%),11 isolates were resistant to 9-10 kinds of antibiotics(16.4%),8 isolates were resistant to 11-12 kinds of antibiotics(11.9%). 67 strains of S.paratyphi A were divided into 10 molecular patterns(PTYA1-PTYA10) by digestion with XbaⅠ restriction endonuclease and pulsed field gel electrophoresis, each pattern contains 1-48 strains with similarity ranged from 94.31%-100%. PTYA3 contained 48 strains, which was predominant band type; PTYA1, 9 contained 6 strains; PTYA 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 contained 1 strains among them.@*Conclusion@#The status of drug resistance of clinical isolates of S.paratyphi A in Zhengzhou city was rather serious, PFGE patterns showed diversity and dominant characteristics. The PFGE patterns of partial strains and its corresponding anti-drug spectrum have certain relevance and cluster relationship.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the clinical efficacy of sodium cantharidinate and vitamin B6 injection combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in treatment of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC).Methods 115 patients with LA-NPC in Shanxi Cancer Hospital were randomly assigned to observation group (61 cases) and control group (54 cases) from February 2014 to April 2016.The patients in the observation group were treated with sodium cantharidate and vitamin B6 injection combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy.The patients in the control group were treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy.The differences between the two groups were compared in respect of recent curative effect,the quality of life (QOL) and the adverse reactions.Results The recent effective rate was 93.44 ％ (57/61) in the observation group and 79.63 ％ (43/54) in the control group,and there was significant difference between the two groups (x2 =4.818,P =0.049).The improvement rate of QOL was 73.77 ％ (45/61) in the observation group and 53.70 ％ (29/54) in the control group,and there was significant difference between the two groups (x2 =5.028,P =0.032).The incidence rates of oral cavity mucous membrane inflammation,hematology toxicity,pharynx and esophagus adverse reactions,the gastrointestinal tract adverse reactions and skin fibrosis in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,and there were significant differences between the two groups (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The recent effect of sodium cantharidinate and vitamin B6 injection combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy on the patients with LA-NPC is obvious.The comprehensive treatment can also reduce adverse reactions and improve the QOL.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the drug tolerance and PFGE patterns of Salrnonella (S.) paratyphi A strains isolated from sentinel hospitals in Dengfeng,Henan province,during 2009-2015.Methods Venous blood samples were collected from paratyphoid patients and cultured in double phase blood culture bottle.Suspicious strains were identified and used for Salomonella.O antigen and H1/2 phase flagellum-induced serum agglutination test with API20E biochemical systems and SSI Salmonella typing sera.According to Salmonella molecular typing and K-B drug susceptibility testing method published by PulseNet China bacterial infectious disease monitoring network and USA Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute,we analyzed the drug susceptibility and PFGE molecule characteristics of S.paratyphiA strains isolated from the patients.Results A total of126 strains of S.paratyphi A were isolated from 248 blood samples,the antigen modes of them were 1,2,12:a:-.The resistance rate of 126 strains of S.paratyphi A was 83.3％ to ampicillin;29.4％ to ceftazidime,31.2％ to cefotaxime,17.5％ to cefepime;62.6％ to nalidixic acid;19.3％ to ciprofloxacin,26.4％ to norfloxacin;22.8％ to gentamicin,47.9％ to streptomycin;19.2％ to chloramphenicol,24.2％ to methicillin benzyl ammonium,58.6％ to compound sulfamethoxazole and 46.7％ to tetracycline.The 126 strains of S.paratyphi A had different levels of resistance to 8 kinds of antibiotics,109 strains were multidrug resistant (86.5％),9 strains were resistant to 2-3 kinds of antibiotics (7.1％),76 strains were resistant to 5-8 kinds of antibiotics (60.3％),17 strains were resistant to 9-10 kinds of antibiotics (13.5％),7 strains were resistant to 11-12 kinds of antibiotics (5.6％).The 126 strains of S.paratyphi A were divided into 14 molecular patterns by digestion with Xba I and pulsed field gel electrophoresis.The antibiotics resistance to third generation cephalosporin (CAZ,CTX),one generation and three generation of quinolones (NAL,CIP,NOR) and aminoglycosides antibiotics (STR) showed an upward trend.Each pattem contained 1-98 strains with similarity ranged from 64.10％ to 100.00％.PTYA 1,6,9 and 10 were the main PFGE belt types.Conclusion The drug resistance of clinical isolates ofS.paratyphi A was serious in Dengfeng,Henan province,PFGE pattems showed a diversity,but predominant patterns could also be found.The PFGE patterns of some strains had clustering and were related with their antidrug spectrums.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the related factors of tumor regression speed during radiotherapy for esophageal cancer and analyze the relationship between recent clinical curative effect and tumor regression speed.Methods 68 previously untreated esophageal cancer patients were treated with three dimensional conformal intensity modulated radiation therapy (3D-IMRT).The radiation dose was 64 Gy/32 times (95 ％ PTV).All the patients were divided into 3 groups according to the size of primary lesions during the entire course of radiotherapy.Fast regression was defined as a complete response before dose 32 Gy,slow regression with dose in the range of 64 Gy and other cases as residual disease.The correlations of tumor regression speed with age,gender,classification,length of lesion and the lesion location were analyzed.And the relationship between recent clinical curative effect and tumor regression speed was discussed.Results The age,gender,classification and the lesion location were not associated with tumor regression (P ＞ 0.05).There was a negative correlation between tumor regression speed and the length of lesion [88.9 ％ (16/18),69.2 ％ (18/26) and 12.5 ％ (3/24) in fast,slow and residual group,respectively,x2 =27.923,P ＜ 0.05].There was a positive correlation between recent clinical curative effect and tumor regression speed (r =0.415,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The length of primary lesion is an independent risk factor for recent clinical curative effect and tumor regression speed of esophageal cancer patients treated with 3D-IMRT.
