ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To understand the distribution and drug resistance of the pathogens by sputum culture in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) in our hospital so as to provide reference for rational use of antibiotics. METHODS:From Dec. 2010 to Dec. 2014,the sputum specimens were collected from the AECOPD patients,then the identification of 307 strains of pathogens and drug susceptibility test were carried out,and the data were analyzed statistically by using SPSS 17.0 software. RESULTS:A total of 307 strains of pathogens were collected,of which 17 cases of gram-positive ba-cillus accounted (5.54%),247 cases of gram negative cocci (80.46%),43 cases of fungi accounted (14.00%). The most com-mon isolates from sputum specimens were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (33.22%),Acinetobacter baumannii (19.54%),Stenotroph-omonas maltophilia(9.77%),Klebsiella pneumoniae(7.82%),Candida albicans(6.84%),etc. P. aeruginosa and A. baumannii were highly multidrug-resistant. There were 10 strains of ESBLs-producing K. pneumonia isolated, with the isolation rate of 41.67%. No Staphylococcus aureus strain was found resistant to vancomycin,teicoplanin or linezolid. Methicillin resistant strains in S. aureus(MRSA)accounted for 50.00%. CONCLUSIONS:Gram-negative bacilli are the most common pathogens in the AE-COPD patients. The common species of pathogens are highly resistant. More attention should be paid to the drug resistance monitor-ing of pathogens and rational use of antibiotics according to the results of susceptibility test.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To determinate the serum concentration of methotrexate by HPLC. METHODS:The samples were separated on a Waters C18 column at a column temperature of 30 ℃. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-phosphate buffer(pH 7.2,12∶88) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL?min-1. The detection wavelength was set at 303 nm. RESULTS:The linear range of methotrexate was 0.5～80 ?g?mL-1(r=0.999 4). The methodological recovery rates were all above 90%; the intraday RSD was 3.03 %～3.52 % and the inter-day RSD was 2.57%～4.05%. CONCLUSION:The method is proved to be simple,rapid,accurate and sensitive,and it is suitable for the determination of serum concentration and pharmacokinetic study of methotrexate.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a rapid and precise continuous flow-injection chemiluminescence method for the determination of tetracycline and oxytetracycline. Methods In NaOH solution, tetracycline and oxytetracycline can sensitize obviously the chemiluminesence (CL) intensity of the reaction of luminol with KIO4, the sensitized CL intensity is proportional to the concentration of tetracycline and oxytetracycline. So, a new flow-injection CL method has been developed. The optimum chemical conditions for the CL reaction were investigated. Results Under the optimized conditions (KIO4 concentration: 1.0×10-5 mol/L; NaOH concentration: 0.1mol/L; luminol concentration: 1.0×10-4mol/L), tetracycline and oxytetracycline were determined. The linear range of the working curves was 1.0×10-7 -1.0×10-4g/mL, the detection limits was 1.0×10-8g/mL and 1.1×10-8g/mL, and the relative standard deviation was 2.6% (CS=1.0×10-6g/mL; n=11) and 2.0% (CS=1.0×10-6g/mL; n=11) respectively. Conclusion The method is simple, rapid, and sensitive, and it has been successfully applied to the the determination of tetracycline and oxytetracycline tablets, the mean recoveries being 99.7% and 98.8% respectively.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a rapid and precise continuous flow-injection chemiluminescence (CL) method for the determination of perphenazine. Methods In HNO_3 medium, perphenazine could be oxidated by ceriuim (IV) and CL was proportional to the perphenazine concentration without any sensitizers. Thus, a new flow-injection CL method was developed. Results Under the optimized conditions, the proposed method allowed the determination range within 1.0?10~ -7 -7.0?10~ -5 g/mL with the detection limit of 8.0?10~ -8 g/mL. Eleven parallel assays were conducted on perphenazine of 1.0?10~ -6 g/mL, with the relative standard deviation of 1.8%. Conclusion The method is simple, rapid, precise, and sensitive, and has broad linear range; therefore, it has been applied to the the determination of the perphenazine in tablets with satisfactory results.
