ABSTRACT
Objective To study the correlations between DLN and clinical pathological factors and provide clinical data for assessing the operation scopes and prognostic evaluations aims at further clarify its clinical values.Methods The research aimed at the 69 cases who undertook first-time surgery and confirmed thyroid papillary carcinoma by intraoperative frozen pathology from 2013 to 2014 in Wannan Medical college affiliated Yijishan Hospital.The groups was divided by whether the DLN had been detected and metastasized.And we made chi-square test or t test by using SPSS 22.0 to analysis between the clinical and pathological factors.Results The groups was divided by whether DLN had been metastasized from the detected cases and the results shown that there was no relationship with gender,age,tumor size,Hashimoto's thyroiditis and the number of COLN (which not including DLN).For multifocal cases (21.05％ vs 57.14％,P =0.047);for vascular infiltration,the positive cases of (10.53％ vs 71.43％,P＜0.001);for the metastasized rate of COLN,the positive cases of (65.79％ vs 14.29％,P =0.011);for the metastasized number of COLN,[(0.84 ± 1.48) vs (3.86 ± 3.08),P ＜ 0.001].All the data above illustrated that the two groups are statistically correlative in mulifocality,vascular infiltration,the metastasized rate of COLN and for the metastasized number of COLN.17.39％ of PTC cases can be detected by CD34 and D2-40.According to the presence of vascular infiltration,it can be divided into two groups,We contrast analyzed of the number of TCLN (include DLN),metastasized number of TCLN and the metastasized rate of TCLN.The results shown that the number of TCLN had no statistical differences,but significant in metastasized number of TCLN [(0.74 ± 1.83) vs (4.50 ± 2.20),P ＜ 0.001) and the metastasized rate of TCLN (29.82％ vs 100.00％,P ＜ 0.01)].Conclusions The DLN positive patients are more likely to have distant lymph node metastasized.If DLN positive,total thyroidectomy and bilateral central compartment neck dissection (CCND) has been necessary.Lateral selective neck node dissection (LSND) can be underwent after evaluating carefully combining with the history and preoperative images.CD34 and D2-40 could be the detection indexes of vascular infiltration for PTC.For the cases with vascular infiltration,it has a higher proportion to have the metastasized number and metastasized rate of TCLN and higher possibility of distant metastasis.So we should expand the scope of operation moderately and strengthen postoperative follow-up according to the history and preoperative images so as to reduce postoperative recurrence,distant metastasis rate and improve the living quality of patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the bacterial resistance profile of clinical isolates collected in Tongling area . Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility test was conducted by Kirby‐Bauer method . All the data were analyzed with WHONET 5 .6 software .Results A total of 3 419 clinical isolates were collected during 2013 ,of which gram negative organisms and gram positive organisms accounted for 75 .9% and 24 .1% .MRSA accounted for 41 .3% of S .aureus and MRCNS accounted for 73 .5% of coagulase negative Staphylococcus ,respectively .MRSA showed higher resistance to gentamicin ,ciprofloxacin , erythromycin and rifampicin . No vancomycin‐ or teicoplanin‐resistant strains of Staphylococcus spp . were found . No vancomycin‐or teicoplanin‐resistant strains of E . f aecalis and E . f aecium were found .About 51 .6% of E .coli isolates and 42 .8% of K . pneumoniae isolates produced extended‐spectrum β‐lactamases (ESBLs ) . The prevalence of imipenem‐ or meropenem‐resistant strains of K . pneumoniae increased significantly .The percentage of P . aeruginosa strains resistant to amikacin ,piperacillin‐tazobactam ,ciprofloxacin ,cefepime and cefoperazone‐sulbactam was lower than 20 .0% .The percentage of A .baumannii strains resistant to cefoperazone‐sulbactam , minocycline and amikacin w as 34 .7% ,57 .0% and 58 .3% , respectively . More than 68 .0 % of A . baumannii strains were resistant to any of the other antibiotics tested . Conclusions The antibiotic resistance is growing in clinical bacterial isolates .The spread of carbapenem‐resistant strains of K . pneumoniae in some departments poses a serious threat to clinical practice .We should pay more attention to resistance surveillance and rational use of antibiotics .
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the bacterial resistance of clinical isolates collected in Tongling area. Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility test was conducted by Kirby-Bauer method.All the data were analyzed with WHONET 5.5 software.Results A total of 3 092 clinical isolates were collected during 2012,of which gram negative organisms and gram positive organisms accounted for 76.3% (2 359/3 092)and 23.7% (773/3 092),respectively.MRSA and MRCNS accounted for 50.9% of S.aureus and 73.0% of coagulase negative Staphylococcus,respectively.MRSA and MRCNS showed higher resistance to gentamicin,ciprofloxacin and erythromycin.No vancomycin-or teicoplanin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus spp.were found.No vancomycin-or teicoplanin-resistant strains of E.faecalis were found.Some E.faecium strains were resistant to vancomycin and teicoplanin.About 52.1% of E.coli isolates and 42.1% of Klebsiella isolates produced extended-spectrumβ-lactamases (ESBLs).Imipenem-or meropenem-resistant strains of K. pneumoniae were found. The percentage of P.aeruginosa strains resistant to amikacin, cefoperazone-sulbactam and cefepime was 3.4%,14.0% and 17.7%,respectively.More than 70% of Acinetobacter spp. strains were resistant to all the antibiotics tested except minocycline and cefoperazone-sulbactam,to which 42.1%and 4.4% of the strains were resistant.Conclusions The antibiotic resistance of clinical bacterial isolates is growing. The spread of multi-drug or pan-drug resistant strains in a specific region poses a serious threat to clinical practice.We should pay more attention to resistance surveillance and the rational use of antibiotics.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the bacterial resistance of clinical isolates collected in Tongling area during 2011.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted by Kirby-Bauer method.All the data were analyzed by WHONET 5.5 soft-ware.Results A total of 2 690 clinical isolates were collected during 2011,of which gram negative organisms and gram positive organisms accounted for 74.2% and 25.8%,respectively.MRSA and MRCNS accounted for 45.1% of S.aureus and 71.6%of coagulase negative Staphylococcus,respectively.MRSA and MRCNS showed higher resistance to gentamicin,ciprofloxacin and erythromycin than the corresponding methicillin-susceptible strains.No vancomycin- or teicoplanin-resistant strain of Staphylococcus spp.was identified.The resistance rate to penicillin,nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin was low in E.faecalis.No ampicillin-,vancomycin-or teicoplanin-resistant strains were found.For E.faecium,some strains were resistant to vancomy-cin and teicoplanin.About 46.6% of E.coli isolates and 27.7% of Klebsiella isolates produced extended-spectrumβ-lactamas-es (ESBLs).No imipenem-or meropenem-resistant isolate was found.The percentage of P .aeruginosa strains resistant to imipenem,meropenem and amikacin were 29.5%,36.9%and 2.3%, respectively. More than 60.0% of the Acinetobacter strains were resistant to all the antibiotics test-ed except minocycline and cefoperazone-sulbactam,to which 26.4% and 12.5% of the strains were resistant.Conclusions No glycopeptides-resistant isolate was found in gram positive organisms except E.faecium.The resistance rate of Enter-obacteriaceae isolates was lower to imipenem,meropenem, cefoperazone-sulbactam,piperacillin-tazobactam and amika-cin.The prevalence of resistant strains is still increasing,es-pecially carbapenem-resistant P .aeruginosa and carbapenem-resistant A.baumannii.It is mandatory to take effective antibiot-ic policy and infection control measures.
