Study on the correlation between chronic sinusitis with nasal septum deviation / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#Study on the correlation between chronic sinusitis with nasal septum deviation.@*METHOD@#Randomly selected 722 patients with coronal sinuses CT, statistics the number of cases of nasal septum deviation, cases of nasal septum deviation with chronic sinusitis, the wide and narrow side cases of nasal septum deviation complicated with sinusitis. The number of sinusitis without deviation, and paired test.@*RESULT@#The incidence of sinusitis between deviation of nasal septum and non deviation were 54. 13% and 44. 66%, the difference between two groups was statistically significant (P0. 01). The incidence of sinusitis high deviation and non high deviation were 59. 54% and 46. 97%, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P0. 05).@*CONCLUSION@#The deviation of nasal septum is associated with the formation of chronic sinusitis, the high deviation is more prone to sinusitis, The incidence of sinusitis and nasal septum deviation on both sides was no different.

Pathogen Distribution and Resistance Analysis among Patients with Lower Respiratory Tract Infection / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and resistance of pathogenic becteria isolated from inpatients with lower respiratory tract infection in Department of Gerontal Respiratory Medicine during from Aug 2006 to Aug 2007.METHODS All the clinical isolates from sputum were analyzed retrospectively.RESULTS There were 211(79.8%) strains of Gram-negative bacilli,40(15.2%) strains of Gram-positive bacteria and 12(6%) strains of fungi.The most important Gram-negative pathogens were Klebsiella pneumoniae.Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Enterobacter cloacae and Escherichia coli.Strains of Gram-negative bacteria were susceptible to imipenem,cefoperzone/sulbactam and amikacin,strains of Gram-positive pathogens were susceptible to vancomycin,nitrofurantoin,cefazolin and imipenem.CONCLUSIONS Gram-negative bacilli are the major pathogens in lower respiratory tract infection in Department of Gerontal Respiratory Medicine and the dominant is conditional pathogen.Rational use of antibiotics is important for the containment of bacterial resistance.
