阿奇霉素治疗呼吸道感染的药理特性与临床分析

阿奇霉素是近年来开发的大环内酯类抗生素,本品是通过阻碍细菌转肽过程,抑制蛋白质合成达到抑菌作用。我院呼吸内科自2006年2月～8月收治35例肺部疾患患者,将阿奇霉素用于呼吸道感染取得满意疗效。本文将概述阿奇霉素的药理特性及报道治疗呼吸道感染的临床资料。     

烧伤感染的现状、对策与防治新动向

1 烧伤感染的现状2006年6月在昆山召开的第四届全国烧伤救治专题研讨会上,不同地区的烧伤中心或单位提供的微生物学调查资料中有不少共同点,其中很主要的一点就是:铜绿假单胞菌和金黄色葡萄球菌仍是烧伤检出菌中的主要细菌,也是我国近50年来大面积深度烧伤救治工作中难以清除的病原菌,不变中的变化是其耐药性不断增长。甲氧西林耐药金黄色葡萄球菌因被专门命名,人们对其认识较深刻,而革兰阴性杆菌耐药性的快速增长也不容忽视。革兰阴性杆菌对许多抗生素已由多重耐药性逐步发展为全耐药性;而且在多种新型抗生素的压力下,又筛选、激活了一些此前未被注意的机会致病菌。当前应特别注意的是鲍氏不动杆菌和嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌,它们正逐步成为医院感染的重要细菌。上述细菌毒力并非特别强,只因其存在天然耐药性,一旦过度繁殖,可能成为"无药可治"的难治菌。在此有必要强调,"医院感染"的含义是"患者住院后获得新的感     

Risk groups for clinical complications of norovirus infections: an outbreak investigation

Norovirus infections have been described as self-limiting diseases of short duration. An investigation of a norovirus outbreak in a university hospital provided evidence for severe clinical features in patients with several underlying diseases. Clinical outcomes of norovirus infection were defined. Risk-factor analysis targeting underlying diseases and medication was performed using multivariate analyses. In five outbreak wards, 84 patients and 60 nurses were infected (an overall attack rate of 32% in patients, and 76% in nurses). The causative agent was the new variant Grimsby virus. Severe clinical features, including acute renal failure, arrhythmia and signs of acute graft organ rejection in renal transplant patients, were observed in seven (8.3%) patients. In multivariate analyses, cardiovascular disease (OR 17.1, 95% CI 2.17-403) and renal transplant (OR 13.0, 95% CI 1.63-281) were risk-factors for a potassium decrease of >20%. Age >65 years (OR 11.6, 95% CI 1.89-224) was a risk-factor for diarrhoea lasting >2 days. Immunosuppression (OR 5.7, 95% CI 1.78-20.1) was a risk-factor for a creatinine increase of >10%. Norovirus infections in patients with underlying conditions such as cardiovascular disease, renal transplant and immunosuppressive therapy may lead to severe consequences typified by decreased potassium levels, increased levels of C-reactive protein and creatine phosphokinase. In the elderly, norovirus infection may lead to an increased duration of diarrhoea. Therefore patients at risk should be hospitalised early and monitored frequently. Strict preventional measures should be implemented as early as possible to minimise the risk of nosocomial outbreaks.     

医院内下呼吸道革兰阴性杆菌感染59例临床分析

目的：探讨医院内下呼吸道革兰阴性杆菌感染的病原菌谱、药物敏感性及主要危险因素。方法：回顾性分析我院1998年1月～2001年12月医院内获得性下呼吸道感染，所取痰标本行细菌学培养，阳性菌以K—B纸片法行药物敏感性测定。结果：共获73株革兰阴性杆菌，其中，铜绿假单胞菌(28．77％)，克雷伯杆菌(26．03％)，大肠埃希菌(23．28％)等，共同构成我院医院内下呼吸道感染的主要致病菌。基础疾病以气管插管或气管切开机械通气、昏迷、患有慢性阻塞性肺疾病、使用广谱抗生素以及高龄患者是造成医院内感染的主要危险因素。第三代头孢菌素、氟喹诺酮类和氨基甙类抗生素为治疗革兰阴性杆菌的有效抗生素。结论：抵抗力低下、不合理应用抗生素及基础疾病严重是造成医院内下呼吸道感染的主要危险因素。下呼吸道感染以革兰阴性杆菌感染为主。出现多重耐药菌，应根据药敏选择抗生素，必要时联合用药。     

极重度骨髓型和肠型急性放射病细菌感染的防治

目的 探讨极重度骨髓型和肠型急性放射病细菌感染的防治经验,为今后急性放射病的治疗提供治疗经验.方法 2例急性放射病患者整个病程中均合并不同菌种的感染,通过观察患者的临床症状、影像学检查及相关的病原体检测而给予不同强度的抗细菌和真菌治疗,通过观察临床症状、影像学检查及病原学检测评价疗效.结果 2例急性放射病患者在治疗中均出现多次反复的细菌感染,同时伴有持续的真菌感染,经强有力的抗细菌和真菌治疗后细菌感染得到暂时控制,真菌感染始终没有控制.病例A于受照后14天出现急性腹膜炎,照后19天出现肺部感染,经泰能加万古霉素等抗生素治疗细菌感染得到控制,于照后33天死于真菌感染败血症和多脏器功能衰竭.病例B于受照后反复出现肺部感染,且于照后55天和照后71天出现G-杆菌败血症,经泰能加万古霉素等抗生素治疗后细菌感染均控制,但真菌感染一直存在,于照后75天因多脏器功能衰竭抢救无效死亡.结论 极重度骨髓型和肠型急性放射病患者的细菌感染呈阶段性.全身性阶段性应用高强抗生素是防治细菌感染的主要有效措施.

Emerging diseases, zoonoses and vaccines to control them

Vaccination, when available, is undoubtedly the most cost-effective means of preventing and controlling, and even eradicating, infectious diseases. In recent years vaccination has also been used for other purposes in animal health, production and welfare, e.g. immunocastration.Vaccination of animals serves many different purposes, such as controlling animal infections and infestations, thus improving animal health and welfare; controlling anthropozoonoses and food poisoning in humans, thereby protecting public health; solving problems associated with antibiotic and anthelmintic resistance; helping to leave food-producing animals free of chemical residues; protecting the environment and biodiversity and ensuring animal farming sustainability. The problem is nevertheless more complex when facing emerging or re-emerging infections particularly zoonotic ones.     

Interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL1RA) in acute leukaemia: IL1RA is both secreted spontaneously by myelogenous leukaemia blasts and is a part of the acute phase reaction in patients with chemotherapy- induced leucopenia

Abstract: Blast cells derived from peripheral blood of patients with acute myelogenous leukaemia (AML) were cultured in vitro and interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL1RA) concentrations determined in culture supernatants. AML blasts derived from patients classified as AML-M4 and AML-M5 subtype showed an increased release of IL1RA. IL1α and IL1β caused a similar increase in AML blast release of IL1RA, and addition of anti-ILl antibodies decreased IL1RA release. IL1RA release from AML blasts was also increased by stem cell factor, tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and macrophage colony-stimulating factor, whereas interleukin 3, interleukin 6, leukaemia inhibitory factor and granulocyte colony- stimulating factor did not significantly alter IL1RA release. When investigating IL1RA serum levels, serum concentrations were decreased in acute leukaemia patients with chemotherapy-induced cytopenia compared with healthy controls. Serum levels of both IL1RA as well as IL1β and soluble TNFα receptors increased when the leucopenic patients developed complicating bacterial infections.     

Candidaemia: a 10-year study in an Indian teaching hospital

Retrospective evaluation of candidaemia patients was performed in an Indian teaching hospital over a 10-year period. The incidence of patients with candidaemia increased eleven-fold in the second half of the study period (55 patients) compared with the first half (5 patients). Haematological malignancies (11 patients), neonatal septicaemia (9), cardiac abnormalities and cardiac surgery (9) were the commonest underlying diseases in these patients. Candida albicans (50%), C. guilliermondii (17%), C. tropicalis (15%) and C. parapsilosis (8%) were the most common fungal pathogens isolated from blood culture. Therapy with two or more antibiotics (92%), corticosteroid administration (25%), intravascular catheter use for over 24 h (78%) and neutropenia (48%) were the accountable predisposing factors. Prolonged hospitalization (mean average 22.2 days as compared with 11.2 days in other patients) was an added risk factor in these patients.
