【Abstract】Objective To study the effects of Chinese traditional medicine Sanqizonggan on bacterial translocation in rats with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP).Methods The rat model of ANP was established by retrograde bilepancreatic duct injection of 5% sodium taurocholate. All rats were randomly divided into three groups: the shamoperation group(n=30), ANP group(n=30), and ANP+Chinese traditional medicine group (n=30). The serum amylase was detected at 0 h,12 h,24 h, and oneweek survival rate and pancreatic histological changes were observed in three groups, and the bacterial translocation from intestinal lumen was examined. Results The survival rate of the group treated with Chinese traditional medicine was significantly higher than that of the ANP group. The rate of bacterial translocation in the treated group significantly decreased. Conclusion The Chinese traditional medicine Sanqizonggan can promote gastrointestinal movement, protect intestinal mucosa and reduce bacterial translocation from intestinal lumen.
Bacterial biofilms are associated with at least 80% of human bacterial infections. The clinical treatment of biofilm infection is still arduous, and therefore many new treatment options are under study, such as probiotics and their derivatives, quorum sensing inhibitors, antimicrobial peptides, phage therapy, organic acids, light therapy, and plant extracts. However, most of these schemes are not mature, and it is important to develop new research directions of anti-biofilms.
To investigate the change of bacterial load appl ied with iodophors and rivanol of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), furthermore to evaluate the effect of both in removing superficial microbes of DFUs. Methods From March 2006 to March 2007, 30 patients were randomly divided into control group (group A, n=10), iodophor group (group B, n=10) and rivanol group (group C, n=10). There were 18 males and 12 females with an average age of 59.8 years (range 46-78 years). The wound size ranged from 3 cm × 2 cm to 15 cm × 10 cm. The disease course was 6 weeks to 6 months (mean 2.1months). Each wound was debrided and irrigated before process, then drug was compressed on the wound for 5 minutes, and irrigated again. The samples gained for three times, before, immediately and 24 hours after the process. Each sample was diluted before cultivation, the bacteria of wound were counted and compared among 3 groups. Results The cultures of specimens showed that the load decreased in every group, each cultured colony of specimen grew well, and there were no significant differences between 3 groups immediately after procedure (P gt; 0.05). There were significant differences between group B and groups A, C (P lt; 0.05), but there were no significant difference between group A and group C 24 hours after treatment (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion Both iodophors and rivanol could remove the bacteria on the surface of wound. Topical germicide could reduced bacterial load in the wound of diabetic foot, the role of steril izing and bacteriostasis of iodophors were better than that of rivanol.
Objective To overview the effect of bacterial biofilms (BBF) on the formation of chronic osteomyel itis and the treatment measure. Methods The original articles in recent years about the relationship between BBF and chronic osteomyel itis were reviewed. Results The diagnosis and treatment of chronic osteomyel itis was very difficult, besides hyperplasia oflocal scar, poor blood supply, drug-resistant, forming of BBF also was an important reason. BBF formed on the surface of necrosis soft tissue and dead bone. Due to the protection of BBF, the bacterium were far more resistant to antimicrobial agents, which caused the recurrence of chronic osteomyel itis. The forming of BBF included three processes which were adhesion, development and maturity. As the major pathogens of chronic osteomyel itis, staphylococcus had its own characteristic. Designing therapeutic programmes according to these characteristics had become the trend of anti-infection treatment of BBF. Conclusion Although there are lots of studies on anti-biofilm due to the key factors during the forming of BBF, the most effective way of anti-biofilm is still debridement.
ObjectiveTo study the relationship between mutation of the p53 gene, p21 gene and bacteria Lform in gallbladder carcinoma. MethodsForty cases of gallbladder carcinoma and 40 cases of chronic cholecystitis were studied by using Gram staining and immunohistochemistry (SP method) to detect the positive rate of Lforms antigen, p21 and p53 protein overpression. And the relationship between the expression of p21 and p53 in Lform infection positive group and that in Lform infection negative group was discussed. ResultsThere was no statistical difference between the Lform positive rate in patients with gallbladder carcinoma with Gram staining and immunohistochemistry (Pgt;0.05). The positive expression rate of p21 and p53 in gallbladder carcinoma was 62.5%(25/40) and 65.0%(26/40) respectively. The expression values of p21 and p53 in chronic cholecystitis was 2.5%(1/40) and 5.0%(2/40) respectively, which was significantly different from that of gallbladder carcinoma (P＜0.05). The expression of p21 and p53 was significantly higher in Lform infection positive group than in that with Lform infection negative group (P＜0.05). ConclusionBacteria Lform may be one of the direct factor leading to mutation of p53 and p21 during gallbladder oncogenesis.
ObjectiveTo analyze the distribution and drug resistance of Enterobacteriaceae in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, to provide long-term monitoring data references for clinical practice.MethodsThe clinical information of non-repetitive Enterobacteriaceae isolates from 2006 to 2015 was collected and analyzed. All the isolates were identified by VITEK-2 Compact Automatic Microbial Identification Analyzer (Bio Merieux, France). The statistic informations were analyzed by WHONET 5.6 and iLabDataforMDR 1.03.ResultsA total of 38 487 strains of Enterobacteriaceae were isolated from 2006 to 2015, mainly including 14 862 stains of Escherichia (38.6%), 12 894 stains of Klebsiella (33.5%), 6 277 stains of Enterobacter (16.3%), 1 758 stains of Proteus (4.6%), 1 257 stains of Serratia (3.3%), 933 stains of Citrobacter (2.4%), and 506 stains of Morganella (1.3%). The top three sample types were sputum (46.9%), urine (18.7%), and secretions (11.5%). The drug resistance rate of Enterobacteriaceae showed a downward trend to most antibacterials. The average resistance rate of Enterobacteriaceae to ampicillin, ampicillin/sulbactam, and cefazolin was 85.3%, 52.6%, and 72.9%, respectively. The resistance rates to ceftriaxone, cefepime, gentamicin, and tobramycin were significantly reduced. The resistance rates to other antibiotics showed decreasing or slow increasing trends. The isolation rate of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL)-producing strains in Escherichia did not change, but the rate in Klebsiella decreased significantly. The isolation rate of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) showed a slow decrease.ConclusionsThe overall antimicrobial resistance and the isolation rates of MDRO and ESBL-producing organisms showed a downward trend in investigating period. However, the carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae was rising continuously. Long-term monitoring of drug resistance is of notable value to antibiotic management policies.
Objective To explore the pathogens and clinical features of immunocompromised hosts with septicaemia.Methods The data including underlying diseases, peripheral blood granulocyte count, temperature at blood sampling, management and prognosis)of 160 immunocompromised hosts with septicaemia were analyzed retrospectively．Results 8 patients had twice septicaemia in hospital stay and 3 patients had plural pathogenic septicaemia.171 strains of microorganisms were isolated from blood cultured of 160 septic immuno- compromised hosts in which 156 strains (91.2%) were bacteria, 37 strains(21.6%) were gram positive cocci, 6 strains(3.5%) were gram positive bacilli, 113 strains (66.1%) were gram negative bacilli and 15 strains (8.8%) were fungi. Staphylococcus spp (17 strains) and Streptococcus spp (14 strains) were the predominant pathogens among gram positive cocci and Corynebacteria (5 strains ) were the main pathogen in gram positive bacilli while Escherichia coli (60 strains), Klebsiella pneumoniae (20 strains) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (15 strains) were the most common bacteria in gram negative bacilli. There were 12 strains of Staphylococcus aureus among the 17 strains of Staphylococcus spp, all of them were methicillin sensitive (MSSA). 17 strains of Escherichia coli, 2 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae and 1 strain of Klebsiella oxytoca produced ESBLs. Candida was the only pathogens of fungemia in this study in which 4 strains of Candida albicans and 11 strains of non-albicans Candida were detected. There were 120 patients(75%) with granulocytopeniain which 103 patients were agranulocytosis. 70% of the 160 paitents had hyperpyrexia. All patients received broad spectrum antibiotics therapy in the study while 58.8% received antifungal drugs at the same time. 20 patients died of septicaemia and 19 patients gave up therapy because of their conditions deteriorated.The overall improvement rate were 75.6%. Conclusions Bacteria are the main pathogens in septicaemia of immunocom- promised host and fungemia is increasing in recent years.Agranulocytosis is a risk factor of septicaemia in immunocompromised hosts. Hyperpyrexia is one of characteristic signs of these patients.
ObjectiveTo investigate the condensate pollution in the pipeline of severe pneumonia patients undergoing mechanical ventilation.MethodsFrom January 2017 to January 2019, 120 patients with severe pneumonia treated by mechanical ventilation in our hospital were collected continuously. The lower respiratory tract secretions were collected for bacteriological examination. At the same time, the condensed water in the ventilator exhaust pipe was collected for bacteriological examination at 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours after tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. The bacterial contamination in the condensed water at different time points was analyzed and separated from the lower respiratory tract. The consistency of bacteria in secretion and drug resistance analysis of bacterial contamination in condensate water were carried out.ResultsOf the 120 patients with severe pneumonia after mechanical ventilation, isolates were cultured in the lower respiratory tract secretions of 102 patients. One strain was cultured in 88 cases, two strains were cultured in 10 cases, and three strains were cultured in 4 cases. The isolates were mainly Gram-negative bacteria (57.5%) and Gram-positive bacteria (42.5%). The most common isolates were Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii. The contamination rate of condensate water was 5.0% at 4 hours, 37.5% at 8 hours, 60.0% at 12 hours, 76.7% at 16 hours, 95.0% at 20 hours, and 100.0% at 24 hours, respectively. The bacterial contamination rate in condensate water at different time points was statistically significant (P=0.000). The pollution rate at 4 hours was significantly lower than that at 8 hours (P=0.000). Gram-negative bacteria accounted for 57.5% and Gram-positive bacteria accounted for 42.5%. The most common isolates were Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii. The consistency of bacteria in lower respiratory tract and condensate water was 83.3% in severe pneumonia patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. The overall resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii and Staphylococcus aureus was higher, but the resistance to imipenem/cilastatin was lower.ConclusionsThe bacterial contamination in the condensate of patients with severe pneumonia during mechanical ventilation is serious. The pollution rate is low within 4 hours. It is consistent with the bacterial contamination in lower respiratory tract and the bacterial resistance is high.
Objective To investigate the pathogen distribution and drug resistance in ICU patients, provide reference for prevention of severe infection and empirical antibacterial treatment. Methods The patients admitted in ICU between January 2013 and December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. The pathogenic data were collected including bacterial and fungal culture results, the flora distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria. Results A total of 2088 non-repeated strains were isolated, including 1403 (67.2%) strains of Gram-positive bacteria, 496 (23.8%) strains of Gram-negative bacteria, and 189 (9.0%) strains of fungus. There were 1324 (63.42%) strains isolated from sputum or other respiratory specimens, 487 (23.33%) strains from blood specimens, 277 (13.27%) strains from other specimens. The bacteria included Acinetobacter baumannii (17.2%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (14.8%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (9.9%), C. albicans (6.3%), E. coli (5.6%), E. cloacae (5.4%), Epidermis staphylococcus (5.0%) and Staphylococcus aureus (4.7%). There were 15 strains of penicillium carbon resistant enterobacteriaceae bacteria (CRE) accounting for 2.3%, including 5 strains of Pneumonia klebsiella, 4 strains of E. cloacae. In 117 strains of E. coli, drug-resistant strains accounted for 86.4% including 85.5% of multiple drug-resistant strains (MDR) and 0.9% of extremely-drug resistant (XDR) strains. In 359 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii, drug-resistant strains accounted for 75.2% including 72.1% of XDR strains and 3.1% of MDR strains. MDR strains accounted for 10.6% in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Detection rate of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci (MRCNS) was 49.0% and 95.5%, respectively. There were 4 strains of vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecalis. There were 131 (69.3%) strains of C. albicans, 23 (12.2%) strains of smooth candida. C. albicans was sensitive to amphotericin and 5-fluorine cytosine, and the resistance rate was less than 1% to other antifungle agents. The resistance rate of smooth ball candida was higher than C. albicans and nearly smooth candida, but still less than 15%. Conclusions The predominant pathogens in ICU was gram-negative bacteria. The top eight pathogenic bacteria were Acinetobacter baumanni, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, C. albicans, E. coli, E. cloacae, Epidermis staphylococcus and S. aureus. Sputum and blood are common specimens. CRE accounts for 2.3%. Drug-resistant strains are most common in E. coli mainly by MDR, followed by Acinetobacter baumannii mainly by XDR, and least in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. C. albicans is the most common fungus with low drug resitance.
