      Abstract:

      ObjectiveTo investigate knowledge, attitude and behavior towards healthcareassociated infection (HAI) among medical students of different school years and majors, and evaluate the teaching method on the education about HAI and occupational precaution. MethodsA survey was conducted among medical students of school year 2008-2010 during their initial period of clinical practice with a simple random sampling method by specifically designed questionnaires. Results448 medical students were investigated, 421 (93.97%) effective questionnaires were received. With regard to grasping HAI knowledge, the percentage of correct answer was statistically different among students of different majors (χ2=1.62×104,P<0.05), nursing students ranked first(78.28%),and students of rehabilitation major ranked last(60.90%); the percentage of correct answer was also statistically different among students of different school years (χ2=14.62,P<0.05),students of school year 2008 ranked first (75.51%), and 2010 ranked last(70.63%). With regard to attitude, more than 90% of students realized the importance of HAI prevention and occupational precaution, there was no statistical difference in attitude among all school years (H=1.39, P>0.05), but the difference in attitude among students of different majors was significant (H=86.70, P<0.05), nursing students scored highest, 50% of whom scored >74,medical laboratory students ranked last,50% of whom scored >66. With regard to behavior, 54.46% of the students often/always showed behavior of HAI prevention and occupational precaution, the scores were statistically different among students of different school years (H=36.49,P<0.05) and majors (H=180.32,P<0.05),in terms of school year,50% of students of year 2008 and 2009 scored >60 and ≤55 respectively, in terms of major, nursing student got the highest average score(63.76±10.11), 8year program students scored lowest (47.94±14.35).ConclusionDuring the initial period of clinical practice, medical students demonstrate a satisfactory level of knowledge and attitude towards HAI, but their behavior need to be improved; it’s necessary to perform education about HAI knowledge as soon as possible, enhance the awareness of HAI, and improve occupational precaution among medical students, so as to reduce the occupational exposure and cross infection in hospital during the internship period.

      Abstract:

      ObjectiveTo investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance of pathogens from lower respiratory tract infection in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), and provide reference for the rational use of antimicrobial agents in clinic.MethodsSputum culture and antimicrobial susceptibility test were conducted for 200 AECOPD patients who were admitted to a respiratory disease department from January to December 2011, and antimicrobial susceptibility test results were analyzed by WHONET 5.3 software.ResultsOf 200 AECOPD patients, 85 (42.50%) had positive sputum culture, the isolation rate of gramnegative bacilli, grampositive cocci and fungi was 77.65% (66 isolates), 18.82%(16 isolates)and 3.53%(3 isolates) respectively. The top six pathogens were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (36.47%),Klebsiella pneumoniae (11.76%),Haemophilus influenzae (10.58%), Acinetobacter baumannii (9.41%), Streptococcus pneumoniae(9.41%), and Staphylococcus aureus(8.24%). Pseudomonas aeruginosa had multiple antimicrobial resistance, the resistant rates to ampicillin,ampicillin/sulbactam, cefazolin, cefotetan,compound sulfamethoxazole, and nitrofurantoin were all 100.00%,to ceftriaxone was 93.55%;the resistant rates of Acinetobacter baumannii to ampicillin, cefazolin,and nitrofurantoin were all >75%;the resistant rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae to ampicillin and nitrofurantoin were both >60%;the resistant rates of Haemophilus influenzae to ampicillin and compound sulfamethoxazole were both >65%. Of 7 Staphylococcus aureus isolates,5 were methicillinresistant.ConclusionThe main pathogens in AECOPD are gramnegative bacilli,and are highly resistant to antimicrobials. Sensitive antimicrobials for gramnegative bacilli should be selected for the treatment, infection with antimicrobial resistant Staphylococcus aureus and fungi should be paid enough attention.

      Abstract:

      (S.aureus) isolated from a hospital.MethodsSpecimen sources and antimicrobial susceptibility test results of 520 S.aureus isolates from a hospital between January 2011 and August 2012 were analyzed.ResultsOf 520 S.aureus isolates, isolation rate of methicillinresistant S.aureus (MRSA) was 23.27%(121/520), mainly from sputum specimen (80.82%), followed by urine(33.33%), blood(25.00%) and drainage(18.31%), the detection rate was the lowest in skin and soft tissue (11.38%). Vancomycin and linezolidresistant S. aureus was not found; S.aureus was sensitive to vancomycin, linezolid,compound sulfamethoxazole and furantoin. The sensitive rates of MRSA from skin and soft tissue to gentamycin, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin,moxifloxacin,rifampicin and tetracycline were higher than those from the other specimen sources(P<0.05), but sensitive rates to erythromycin and clindamycin were lower than those from the other specimen sources(P<0.05). MRSA was totally resistant to penicillin, MRSA from communityassociated infection was more sensitive to gentamycin, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin,moxifloxacin, rifampicin and tetracycline than that from healthcareassociated infection (HAI) (P<0.05), but susceptible rates to erythromycin, clindamycin and compound sulfamethoxazole were lower than that from HAI (P<0.05).ConclusionS. aureus is an important pathogen isolated from this hospital, and with high antimicrobial resistance, it is important to use antimicrobial agents rationally according to antimicrobial susceptibility test result.

      Abstract:

      ObjectiveTo investigate the isolation trends of common pathogenic bacteria in healthcareassociated infection(HAI) in a hospital,evaluate the changes in antimicrobial resistance to quinolones and antimicrobial resistance mechanisms, and guide rational antimicrobial use.MethodsBacterial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility test were performed by Vitek32 system and KirbyBauer method respectively, and antimicrobial susceptibility test results were evaluated based on standard of US Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI).ResultsFrom January 2006 to December 2010, a total of 10 606 pathogenic bacteria isolates were detected, the top 5 pathogens were Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Acinetobacter baumannii, distribution of pathogens of each year varied little. Antimicrobial susceptibility test results showed that antimicrobial resistance of these 5 pathogens to quinolones increased year by year, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae increased most rapidly,the resistant rate to ciprofloxacin increased from 48.72% and 48.33% in 2006 to 89.06% and 81.53% in 2010 respectively (P<0.005), the resistance to levofloxacin increased from 48.84% and 39.77% in 2006 to 80.14% and 80.64% in 2010 respectively (P<0.005); the resistant rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and pefloxacin also increased year by year (P<0.005). Antimicrobial resistant rate of grampositive cocci to quinolones increased slowly.ConclusionIn the past five years, resistance of common pathogens in HAI to quinolones were increasing, monitoring on bacterial resistance should be strengthened; clinical antimicrobial use should be based on antimicrobial susceptibility test result.

      Abstract:

      ObjectiveTo investigate the distribution and drug resistance of pathogens isolated from a general surgery department.MethodsThe category,distribution, and drug resistance of pathogens isolated from patients in a general surgery department from January 2011 to December 2012 were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsA total of 859 isolates of pathogens were isolated,563 (65.54%) of which were gramnegative bacteria,233 (27.12%) were grampositive bacteria, and 63 (7.33%)were fungi. The most common gramnegative bacteria was Escherichia coli (40.40%), the dominant grampositive bacteria was Enterococcus faecalis (3.96%), Candida albicans was the major fungus.Most pathogens were isolated from peritoneal fluid(65.43%,562 isolates),followed by wound or incisional secretion(10.94%,94 isolates),sputum (9.90%,85 isolates), and bile(6.75%,58 isolates). Enterobacteriaceae were not resistant to imipenem and meropenem,and resistant rates to amikacin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid,piperacillin/tazobactam and cefoperazone/sulbactam were all <20%,the resistant rates to cephalosporins were high. The resistant rate of Acinetobacter baumannii to imipenem and meropenem was 51.85% and 47.37% respectively,and to most antimicrobial agents were >60%, but to levofloxacin and amikacin were both <20%. The resistant rate of grampositive bacteria to vancomycin was <3.40%.ConclusionThe major pathogens isolated from inpatients in this general surgery department are gramnegative bacteria, survey on distribution and drug resistance of pathogens is important for the rational choice of antimicrobial agents, improvement of therapeutic efficacy,and prevention of the spread of drugresistant bacteria.

      Abstract:

      全世界约有20亿人曾感染过乙型肝炎(乙肝)病毒(HBV),其中慢性携带者达3.5亿~4亿[1]。我国HBV慢性携带者有近半数是由围产期母婴传播所致[2-3],而宫内感染是母婴传播的主要途径之一。 HBV宫内感染是最终发展成乙肝表面抗原(HBsAg) 慢性携带的主要原因,也是造成乙肝疫苗免疫失败的重要因素[4-5]。在HBV感染过程中,病毒抗原如HBsAg、乙肝核心抗原(HBcAg)、乙肝e抗原(HBeAg)均可诱导抗原特异性T细胞的免疫应答,这对HBV感染的控制至关重要;而慢性患者病毒感染的持续和慢性化发展,是因其HBV特异性T细胞免疫反应受损所致。既往研究[1]表明,发生HBV宫内感染的孕妇体内Th1/Th2细胞免疫失衡,即Th1细胞免疫下调,Th2细胞免疫反应增强,这是导致HBV宫内感染的主要原因之一。随着以分泌白细胞介素(IL)17为特征的辅助T细胞——Th17细胞的发现,Th17/Treg细胞的平衡作用也越来越受到人们的关注。Th17/Treg细胞间平衡的打破可能是多种疾病发生的关键因素,这将弥补既往Th1/Th2免疫效应模式的不足。近几年,维甲酸相关核孤儿受体(retinoid acidrelated orphan receptor gamma t,RORγt)作为Th17细胞的特异性转录因子也成为研究热点。本文就近几年Th17细胞及其转录因子RORγt在HBV宫内感染的相关研究进展作一综述。
