Factors related to infection by multiple drug-resistant bacteria in infectious pancreatic necrosis / 中华肝胆外科杂志

Objective:To study the factors related to infection by multiple drug-resistant bacteria (MDROs) in patients with infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of 134 IPN patients with definitive etiologies treated in the Department of General Surgery, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from January 2009 to February 2020. There were 85 males and 49 females. The age was (46.69±14.11) years. The IPN patients were divided into the multiple and the non-multiple MDROs infection groups based on drug resistance of pathogens in drainage fluid. The difference between the two groups of patients, including the number of antibacterial drugs used, the number of combined antibacterial drugs, the length of ICU stay, and other related factors were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed.Results:Among the 134 patients with IPN, 41 (30.60%) had complex MDROs infection and 93 (69.40%) had non complex MDROs infection. Univariate analysis showed that the course of disease, APACHE II score, extrapancreatic infection, number of surgical operations, time from onset to operation, patency of drainage tube, length of ICU stay, time of using antibiotics, number of changing courses of antibiotics, number of combined antibiotics, blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin were related to occurrence of multiple MDROs (all P<0.05); Multivariate analysis showed that glycated hemoglobin ( OR=3.957, 95% CI: 1.073-14.600), time from onset to operation ( OR=6.086, 95% CI: 1.263-29.325), number of changing courses of antibiotics ( OR=3.560, 95% CI: 1.077-11.772), number of combined antibiotics ( OR=3.560, 95% CI: 1.077-11.772), length of ICU stay ( OR=3.590, 95% CI: 1.126-11.448) were independent risk factors of MDROs infection in IPN patients ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Early debridement of infective foci, good control of blood glucose, reduced length of ICU stay, rational use of antibiotics to avoid unnecessary changing courses of antibiotics, appropriate use of combination of antibiotics could reduce the number of MDROs infection in IPN patients.

Establishment of STO Cell Lines Expressing Green Fluorescent Protein and Mouse Leukemia Inhibitory Factor / 中国实验血液学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To establish the STO cell lines expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) and mouse leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) , and try to culture the mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) by using the established STO-GFP-mLIF cells as the feeder layer.@*METHODS@#The lentiviral particles containing GFP and mLIF and puromycin-resistance gene were constructed and transduced into STO cell lines. The cell lines stably expressing GFP and mLIF genes were screened out. The expression level of the inserted exogenous LIF gene was tested by Western blot and ELISA. The STO-GFP-mLIF cells were treated with different concentrations of mitomycin C (5, 10, 15, 20 µg/ml) for different time (1.5, 2.5, 3, 3.5 hours) to prepare feeder layers and the cell proliferation level on feeder layer was observed. Mouse embryonic stem cells were cultured on mitomycin C-treated feeder layer and the growth of cell colonies was observed.@*RESULTS@#The expression level of LIF protein in STO-GFP-mLIF cells was up-regulated, as compared with STO cells (P＜0.05). It was confirmed that the optimal concentration and time for inhibiting the proliferetion of STO-GFP-mLIF cells by mitomycin C were 10 µg/ml and 3 hours respectively. The observation also found that the embryonic stem cells could develop into typic "birdnest" shaped stem cell colony on mitomycin C-treated feeder layer.@*CONCLUSION@#The stable STO cell lines effectively expressing green fluorescent protein and mouse leukemia inhibitory factor have been established successfully, which can maintain the undifferentiated state of mouse embryonic stem cells.

Analysis of Clinical Distribution and Drug Resistance of Non-sputum Specimen AmpC Enzyme-producing Enterobacter cloacae in a Hospital during 2011-2017 / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational drug use and hospital infection control. METHODS:AmpC enzyme-producing Enterobacter cloacae were isolated from non-sputum specimen of a hospital during Jan. 2011-Oct. 2017. Drug sensitivity test was conducted by using MIC. The situation of AmpC enzyme production was confirmed by three dimensional test, and that of ESBLs-producing stain was detected with double-disk synergy test. RESULTS:There were 546 strains of AmpC enzyme-producing E. cloacae isolated from non-sputum specimen of the hospital,accounting for 4.80% of non-sputum specimen (546/11 375)and 38.97% of E. cloacae(546/1 401). Top 3 non-sputum samples in the list of detection rate were wound secretion (27.29%),midstream urine(25.82%)and blood(21.79%),and the departments with high detection rate were ICU(22.89%), neurosurgery department(18.68%)and general surgery department(16.67%). Resistance rate of AmpC enzyme-producing E. cloacae to most commonly used antibiotics was higher than 40%. There was statistical significance in resistant rate of the bacteria to ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, gentamicin, nitrofurantoin, levofloxacin, piperacillin/tazobactam, cefoperazone, ceftazidime,cefepime,tobramycin and minocycline among different years (P<0.05). The resistant rate to imipenem and meropenem was lower than 2%. Among 546 strains of AmpC enzyme-producing E. cloacae,68 strains of ESBLs were detected,and detection rates were 5.77%,6.06%,8.70%,10.26%,13.79%,17.35%,18.75% during 2011-2017. CONCLUSIONS:AmpC enzyme-producing E. cloacae are mainly isolated from samples as wound secretion and midstream urine,and mainly come from ICU and neurosurgery department. The drug resistance of the bacteria is severe,and drug resistance of the bacteria to antibiotics as β-lactams and quinolones is increased significantly. The detection rate of ESBLs-producing strain increases year by year. The bacteria are sensitive to carbapenems antibiotics,which can be regarded as first choice. It is necessary to strengthen drug resistance and enzyme production monitoring of AmpC enzyme-producing E. cloacae,select antibiotics combined with results of drug sensitivity test so as to prevent or delay the rapid increase of its resistance rate.

Research advances on late intraocular lens dislocation after phacoemulsification / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

Late intraocular lens dislocation is one of the most severe late complications after phacoemulsification.It often occurs 3mo after the surgery.Different from early intraocular lens dislocation, late intraocular lens dislocation is caused by zonular dehiscence and contraction of the capsular bag many years after phacoemulsification.In recent years, the incidence of late intraocular lens dislocation gradually increases, having a risk of 0.1% after 10a and 1.7% after 25a.In the long-term follow-up patients who underwent cataract surgery, 90% had zonular insufficiency and capsular contraction.Among the multiple factors which may contribute to zonular weakness and capsular contraction, pseudoexfoliation is the most common cause, accounting for 50% of all the cases.Other risk factors include aging, high myopia, uveitis, trauma, previous vitreoretinal surgery, retinitis pigmentosa, diabetes mellitus, atopic dermatitis, previous acute angle-closure glaucoma attack, and connective tissue disorders.The understanding of these predisposing factors will suggest necessary preventions for high-risk patients in the future.
