RESUMO
Objective To explore the effect of low-carbohydrate/high-monounsaturated fatty acids (LC/HMD) nutrition program for patients with diabetes mellitus and stroke. Methods Thirty-seven patients with diabetes mellitus and stroke after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) were enrolled in this study, and these patients were treated with liquid food nutritional support. All patients were given high-carbohydrate (HCD) nutritional support at the first and second day and then changed to LC/HMD nutrition program. The blood glucose fluctuations were monitored by continuous glucose monitoring(CGM) system. Meanwhile the daily dose of insulin injections, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and biochemical indicators were detected. for just admission and just give LC after/HMD nutrition program and three months later on HbA1c and blood biochemical indexes were detected. Results 3 months after LC/HMD nutrition program treatment, the levels of mean amplitude of plasma glucose excursions (MAGE), ratio of hyperglycemia to time, ratio of glycopenia to time, HbA1c, daily dose of insulin injections were significantly improved compared with those at the 2nd of LC/HMD nutrition program treatment and with HCD nutritional support (P < 0.05). Three months after LC/HMD nutrition program treatment, the levels of blood biochemistry index had no significant change (P > 0.05). Three months after LC/HMD nutrition program treatment, the blood glucose fluctuations significantly reduced in all patients. Conclusions For patients with diabetes mellitus and stroke and receiving liquid food treament, LC/HMD nutrition program can significantly improve glycemic index, reduce dependence on insulin, and lower blood sugar fluctuations.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the distribution and antibiotic resistance of the pathogens in the patients with central venous catheter-related blood stream infection in neurosurgical intensive care unit (NSICU).Methods A total of 452 patients with central venous catheter were identified in NSICU from January 2014 to January 2017.Medical records were reviewed retrospectively to examine the incidence of central venous catheter-related blood stream infections,and the pathogen distribution and antibiotic resistance profile.Results The incidence of central venous catheter-related blood stream infection was 4.6％ (21/452).The incidence of such infection was significantly higher for the catheter in femoral vein (10.5％) than in internal jugular vein (4.0％) and subclavian vein (2.6％) (x2=9.755,P=0.008).Twenty-six strains of pathogen were isolated from the 21 patients,including 13 (50.0％) grampositive bacteria,11 (42.3％) gram-negative bacteria and 2 (7.7％) fungal strains (Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis each).The most common gram-positive bacteria were Staphylococcus epidermidis(5) and Staphylococcus aureus(3).The most common gram-negative bacteria were Klebsiella pneumoniae(4) and Serratia marcescens(3).The most frequently isolated pathogen of central venous catheter-related blood stream infections was S.epidermidis (19.2％) and K.pneumoniae (15.4％).The antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed that gram-positive bacteria were highly resistant to penicillin,erythromycin,oxacillin and clindamycin.Gram-negative bacteria were highly resistant to cefazolin and piperacillin.The two fungal strain were highly sensitive to fluconazole,voriconazole,itraconazole and amphotericin B.Conclusions The predominant pathogens of central venous catheter-related blood stream infections in NSICU patients are gram-positive bacteria.S.epidermidis and K.pneumoniae are the major pathogens with high level of antibiotic resistance.Aseptic procedures and rational antibiotic therapy according to antimicrobial susceptibility test should be emphasized to control the resistant strains.

RESUMO
There are a lot of reports about the neuroprotection of mild hypothermia in the acute phase brain injury of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. There are many mechanisms of brain damage involving in the development of brain damage in the acute phase of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Mild hypothermia can protect against various brain damages in the early stage of cerebral infarction. It may play a role in brain protection when it is used in the acute phase of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
