ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the insulin resistance(IR),serum cortisol.level and circadian secretion rhythm in the patients with pituitary adenoma(PA).Methods Sixty-seven patients with PA in this hospital from October 2016 to April 2017 were selected as the observation group,including 23 cases of pituitary Cushing syndrome,15 cases of growth hormone adenoma,16 cases of prolactinoma and 13 cases of non-functioning adenoma.Contemporaneous 49 individuals undergoing healthy physical examination were selected as the control group.The biochemical indexes of fasting plasma glucose(FPG),fasting insulin(FINS) and serum cortisol were measured and the homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance(HOMA-IR) was determined.The correlation between insulin resistance and serum cortisol was analyzed.Results The incidence rate of cortisol circadian rhythm disorder in the observation group was 58.21％,the level of fasting serum cortisol in abnormal secretion rhythm of PA group was higher than that in normal secretion rhythm of PA group and control group(P＜0.05);the levels of FINS and HOMA-IR in the pituitary Cushing syndrome and growth hormone adenoma group were higher than those in the control group,the correlation analysis showed that HOMA-IR in PA patients was positively correlated with fasting serum cortisol level and FINS level(P＜0.05).Conclusion The IR occurrence exists in pituitary Cushing syndrome and growth hormone adenoma,which may be closely correlated with serum cortisol increase.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the homology and clinical distribution of tigecycline-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (A.baumannii )in a hospital.Methods Multidrug-resistant A.baumannii (MDRAB,n = 88 )from specimens from clinical departments of a hospital in 2013-2014 were collected and detected susceptibility to tigecy-cline;homology of tigecycline-resistant strains were detected by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE),clinical characteristics and distribution of infected patients were analyzed.Results 88 patients didn’t use tigecycline before MDRAB were isolated.Of 88 MDRAB strains,4 (4.55%)were resistant to tigecycline,which were No.10,31 , 33,and 87 strains.PFGE results revealed that No.31 ,33,and 87 strains were of the same genotype,and with high homology,which distributed in three different departments;No.31 strain was detected from general intensive care unit (ICU),No.33 strain was detected from emergency ICU,although strains were detected from different depart-ments,patients were transferred before strains were isolated,and were admitted to departments of gastrointestinal surgery and emergency ICU during the same period;No.87 strain was detected from neurosurgical ICU and patient had never been transferred,the detection time was 7-8 months later than No.31 and 33 strains.No.10 strain was isolated from emergency ICU,patient was not transferred.Conclusion Of MDRAB isolated in this hospital,tigecy-cline-resistant strains are low,most strains are homologous,cross infection may be exists in different departments.
