RESUMO
Objective:To explore the resistance of common clinical isolates to chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) and the clinical characteristics of patients with the infections.Methods:A total of 1 000 isolates from the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University in 2018 (from January to May) were collected, which included 200 strains each of Escherichia coli ( E. coli), Acinetobacter baumanii ( A. baumanii), Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( P. aeruginosa), Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus), and Enterococcus spp.. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of CHG against 1 000 isolates were determined by the agar dilution method. The correlation between the resistance of isolates and clinical characteristics of infected patients was analyzed. Chi-square test or Fisher exact probability test were used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 57 CHG resistant strains were detected in 1 000 clinical isolates. These CHG-resistant strains were mainly isolated from sputum and intensive care unit ward, accounting for 49.1%(28/57)and 38.6%(22/57), respectively. The resistance rates of P. aeruginosa, A. baumanii, Enterococcus spp., S. aureus, and E. coli to CHG were 16.0%(32/200), 7.0%(14/200), 3.0%(6/200), 1.5%(3/200) and 1.0%(2/200), respectively. The CHG-resistant rates of P. aeruginosa to ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin and gentamicin were 53.1%(17/32), 78.1%(25/32), 65.6%(21/32) and 50.0%(16/32), respectively, which were all higher than those of CHG-sensitive P. aeruginosa (25.0%(8/32), 25.0%(8/32), 21.9%(7/32) and 15.6%(5/32), respectively), with statistical significance ( χ2=5.317, 18.080, 12.444 and 8.576, respectively, all P<0.05). The hospital mortality was 22.8%(13/57) in patients infected with CHG-resistant bacteria, which was higher than that in patients infected with CHG-sensitive bacteria ((7.0%(4/57); Fisher exact probability test, P=0.018)). CHG-resistant group had a higher history of CHG exposure and antimicrobial treatment (61.4%(35/57) and 70.2%(40/57), respectively), which were both higher than those with CHG-susceptible isolates (17.5%(10/57) and 47.4%(27/57), respectively), the differences were both statistically significant ( χ2=22.947 and 6.118, respectively, both P<0.05). In addition, the multi-drug resistance rate of CHG-resistant strains was 54.4%(31/57), which was higher than that of CHG-susceptible strains (35.1%(20/57)), the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.293, P=0.039). Conclusions:CHG resistant strains have higher antimicrobial resistance. Hospital mortality in patients infected with CHG-resistant bacteria is higher than patients infected with CHG-sensitive bacteria. The important risk factors are CHG exposure and antimicrobial therapy.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate auricular lobule index difference in healthy young female of different height or weight, and to provide an additional reference for otoplasty of auricular lobule.Methods:Subjects were made up of 266 healthy young females of Henan residents. Their height, weight, physiognomic ear breadth, morphological ear breadth, physiognomic ear length, morphological ear length, auricular lobule length, auricular lobule breadth were measured and calculated. All the data were analyzed by SPSS 15.0 software.Results:We obtained the means, standard deviation of each items, and data were treated statistically. In the 266 subjects, average height was (162.9±4.1) cm, weight (55.3±6.5) kg, morphological ear breadth (4.9±0.6) cm, morphological ear length (2.9±0.3) cm, physiognomic ear breadth (6.2±0.4) cm, physiognomic ear length (3.3±0.3) cm, auricular lobule breadth (1.6±0.3) cm, auricular lobule length (1.8±0.2) cm, lobule physiognomic ear breadth index (25.6±4.9)%, lobule-physiognomic ear length index (53.69±7.69)%, and auricular lobule index (91.4±19.3)%. The differences among the indices mentioned above were of statistical significance ( P<0.05); the indices of subjects of different height were significantly different ( P<0.05); the indices of subjects of different weight were of no statistical difference. ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The subjects of different height or weight have no different morphological ear breadth, morphological ear length, physiognomic ear breadth, physiognomic ear length, auricular lobule length, lobule-physiognomic ear length index and auricular lobule index; hence, the indices are no related to body height and weight. However, the subjects of different height have different auricular lobule breadth and lobule-physiognomic ear breadth index.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the association between the polymorphism in a disintegrin and metalloprotease 33 (ADAM 33) gene and keloid in the Chinese Han population from Henan Province. It may provide a new theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of keloids at the genetic level.Methods:There were 84 patients with keloid and 78 patients with hypertrophic scar in this group.We selected 3 SNPs in ADAM33 gene and detected the sample genotypes by Mass ARRAY system to compare genotype and allele frequency differences at each locus.Results:There were no significant differences in gender and age of two groups ( P>0.05). The genotypes of 3918394 (L1) and rs574174 (ST+ 7) locus in the two groups of ADAM33 gene were consistent with the Hardy-Weinberg genetic equilibrium law ( P>0.05), while the genotypes of rs597980 (ST+ 5) locus in the two groups of ADAM33 gene were not consistent with the Hardy-Weinberg genetic equilibrium law. There was a significant difference of genotypes or alleles in L1 locus between keloid and hypertrophic scar groups ( P<0.05). No significant differences were detected of genotypes or alleles in ST+ 7 locus between two groups ( P>0.05). In addition, there was a significantly difference of GG genotype and G allele between keloid and hypertrophic scar groups ( χ2=6.387、6.117, all P<0.05). There was no significantly difference of all genotypes and alleles in ST+ 7 locus between two groups ( P>0.05). There was weak linkage disequilibrium between ST+ 7 and L1 locus in ADAM33 gene. Haplotype analysis showed that haplotype Hap2 (CA) in keloid group was much lower than hypertrophic scar group ( χ2=6.752, P<0.05). Conclusions:The polymorphism of the L1 locus in the ADAM33 gene may have significant associations with keloid in the Chinese Han population from Henan Province, while the ST+ 7 locus may have no significant associations with that. The GG genotype and G allele of L1 locus is a risk factor for keloids and increases the risk of keloids. The susceptible and protective haplotypes of keloid may exist in Chinese Han population from Henan Province.
