ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the change in ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) value and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) level in children with primary nephrotic syndrome(PNS) and their relationship.@*METHODS@#ABPM and casual blood pressure(CBP) were tested in 114 children with PNS and 12 normal children as a control group. The 24-h urine noradrenaline(NA), adrenaline(A) and dopamine(DA) content were detected through high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical luminescence and the correlation with ABP was analyzed.@*RESULTS@#Among 114 children with PNS, 101 had elevated blood pressure (88.6%), 45 showed high incidence of masked hypertension (39.5%), and 80 non-dipper blood pressure (70.2%). Systolic blood pressure level and blood pressure load were greater than diastolic blood pressure. NA, A, and DA levels of the PNS group were significantly higher than those of the control group, while those of the elevated blood pressure group were significantly higher than those of the normal blood pressure group in PNS children. SNS levels were positively correlated with blood pressure levels and blood pressure load, and negatively correlated with night BP decreasing rates.@*CONCLUSION@#Children with PNS have high incidence of hypertension with large proportion of masked hypertension and non-dipper blood pressure. Severe masked hypertension classification should be set up. In PNS children, SNS activity is elevated that might evaluate the blood pressure level and decrease blood pressure circadian rhythm.

OBJECTIVE To study the isolation,distributive characteristics and drug resistance of AmpC enzyme producing Gram-negative bacilli in nosocomial infection of two years and provide the evidence for treatment. METHODS A total of 528 strains of Gram-negative bacilli collected from daily specimens were identified with Bio-Fosun-Ⅰ,and AmpC enzyme was screened by cefoxitin disk and then corroborated by EDTA disk method. All data were analyzed statistically. RESULTS Among 528 strains collected,136 (25.75%) were AmpC enzyme producing strains,the respective percentage of Pseudomonas aerugionsa,Echerichia coli,Enterobacter cloacae,Klebsiella pneumoniae and Citrobacter was 32.35%,28.67%,18.38%,8.09% and 5.15%,respectively. Most strains (38.9%) were detected in ICU. The common infection sites were lungs. The resistance rate of AmpC enzyme producing strains to the first,second and third-generations cephalosporins was 71.3-99.5%. The susceptive rate of AmpC enzyme producing strains to imipenem,cefepine,amikacin and piperacillin/tazobactant were low. CONCLUSIONS For effective supervision and control of AmpC enzyme producing Gram-negative bacilli in nosocomial infection,detection of AmpC enzyme shoud be paid much attention by clinical microbiology laboratory.
