Clinical study of high frequency oscillatory ventilation combined thoracic close drainage for the treatment of 22 cases of neonatal pneumothorax / 中国综合临床

Objective To explore the clinical effect and safety of high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) combined thoracic close drainage for the treatment of mechanical ventilated neonates with pneumothorax.Methods Twenty-two neonates were enrolled in this study,who needed mechanical ventilation diagnosed with neonatal pneumothorax and received treatment of HFOV combined thoracic close drainage from Jan.2012 and Jun.2014 in the People's Hospital of Dongguan.We recorded blood gas analysis and parameters of breathing machine before using HFOV and 2,12,24,48 hours after using HFOV respectively.Results There were significant differences between HFOV before use (0) and 2,12,24,48 hours after using HFOV in terms of blood pH value,arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2),partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2),oxygenation index (OI),the inspired oxygen concentration (FiO2),mean airway pressure (MAP) (F =6.606,17.760,8.387,17.242,25.185; P ＜ 0.05).Compared with before using HFOV combined thoracic close drainage,PaO2 was significantly increased from (51.25 ± 13.16) mmHg to (62.60 ± 15.95) mmHg.PaCO2 was significantly dropped from (63.57 ± 13.81) mmHg to (54.02 ± 11.58) mmHg and OI was dropped sharply from (16.57 ± 9.09) to (11.28 ± 4.67) at 2 hours after using HFOV combined thoracic close drainage (P ＜ 0.05).FiO2 significantly decreased from (0.76 ± 0.15) to (0.60 ± 0.13),as well as MAP from (9.91 ± 1.44) cm H2 Oto (8.50 ± 1.68) cm H2O.Furthermore,pH was significantly improved from (7.24 ± 0.15) to (7.34 ±0.10) at 12 hours later(P ＜0.05).PH,PaO2,PaCO2 were roughly back to normal at 48 hours after treatment.The main complications were intraventricular hemorrhage (2 cases),subarachnoid hemorrhage (2 cases),ventilator associated pneumonia (1 case) and pulmonary hemorrhage (1 case) (not during the time of HFOV treatment).Conclusion HFOV combined thoracic close drainage for the treatment of neonates with pneumothorax is safety and effective methods.

Laboratory diagnosis of rarely filamentous fungi / 军事医学

Objective To investigate the laboratory diagnosis of filamentous fungi which are rarely seen in clinical practice.Methods Five strains of fungi were isolated from clinical samples and initially identified by the morphological method.Total DNA of fungi was extracted and amplified by the PCR method using universal primers of ITS2-ITS4 gene, respectively.The PCR products were sequenced and the obtained sequences were then analyzed by the blastn program incorporated in NCBI.Results The five strains of fungi were diagnosed as Scedosporium apiospermum,Schizophyllum commune,Scopulariopsis brevicaulis,Rhizopus stolonifer,and Fusarium solani.Conclusion The laboratory diagnosis of filamentous fungi which rarely occur in clinical practice should integrate various methods,including morphological, microbiological,and molecular biological methods.

Main pathogenic bacteria and drug resistance in Affiliated Hospital of Academy of Military Medical Sciences between 2012 and 2013 / 军事医学

Objective To investigate the flora distribution and drug resistance status in the Affiliated Hospital of Academy of Military Medical Sciences so as to provide experimental data for clinical doctors to use antibiotics more efficiently.Methods The clinical data of pathogenic bacterial infections over nearly one year in our hospital were retro -spectively analyzed .Results There were 3815 strains of pathogenic bacteria isolated from the sample .The percentage of Gram-positive strains was 36.4%while that of Gram-negative bacteria was 63.6%.The most common bacteria were Esche-richia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus epidermidis.In terms of drug tolerance , Enterobacteriaceae remained highily sensitive to carbapenems .The total resistance rate was 2%-5%.The resistance rate of A.baumannii to meropenem and imipenem was 60%.There were still a few pan-drug resistant strains among K.pneumoniae,A.baumannii and P.aeruginosa,but there were no drug resistant strains to vancomycin , tige-cycline and linezolid in Staphylococcus.The resistance rate of Enterococcus faecium to vancomycin was 9%.The bacteria were distributed predominantly in ICU ,Department of Hematology and Department of Oncology .The samples were mainly composed of phlegm specimens .Conclusion The high distribution in the three departments mentioned above is largely re-lated to the diseases being treated .The specimens from the lower respiratory tract show more types of bacteria that are mostly drug-resistant, and the isolating rate of vancomycin resistant Enterococcus and carbapenems resistant K.pneumoniat is com-paratively high .

Serum TC/HDL-C ratio and the risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke incidence in middle aged Chinese population / 中华神经科杂志

ObjectiveTo explore the predictive effect of serum TC/HDL-C ratio on ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke incidence in middle aged Chinese population.MethodsA prospective study was conducted based on the PRC-USA Collaborative Study on Cardiovascular and Cardiopulmonary Epidemiology. A total of 10 121 individuals (4921 men and 5200 women), aged 35—59 years were selected from 4 cohorts, in Beijing and Guangzhou, urban and rural. The average following up time was 15.9 years. During the follow-up period, 277 ischemic and 125 hemorrhagic stroke cases were diagnosed.ResultsThe age adjusted incidence rate of ischemic stroke was 144.1,169.4,166.7,226.9 and 282.2 in the group of TC/HDL-C ratio

Influence of sodium nitroprusside-induced hypotension on the difference between arterial and end-tidal CO_2 tension in dogs / 中华麻醉学杂志

0.05) in both groups. In group B,cardiac output decreased by 13% at 15th min following deliberated hypotension (P0.05). It is suggested that PaCO_2 can be evaluated continuously and noninvasively by monitoring end-tidal CO_2 tension during SNP-induced hypotension.
