N-乙酰半胱氨酸的抗菌活性及对细菌生物被膜的抑制作用

N-乙酰半胱氨酸(N-acetylcysteine,NAC)是临床常用化痰药.除此之外,NAC还有一定的抗菌活性,可以抑制细菌的黏附,减少细胞外多糖蛋白复合物的产生,破坏已生成的生物被膜,对被膜下细菌也有一定的杀菌作用,并与某些抗菌药物存在协同作用,引起国内外学者越来越多的关注.研究结果提示临床上可以将NAC与抗生素联合应用治疗某些感染性疾病尤其是慢性呼吸道感染,不过尚需进一步大样本临床研究来证明.

2002～2006年广西大专新生乙肝病毒携带率观察

[目的]观察2002～2006年广西大专新生乙肝病毒携带率分布,为进一步防治乙型肝炎提供理论依据。[方法]收集2002～2006年大专新生入学体检资料,采用SPSS13.0软件进行整理、统计分析。[结果]2002～2006年5年中广西大专新生HBV携带率呈明显下降的趋势,平均每年以10%的速度下降,2006年乙肝病毒携带率比2002年下降了44%,尤其以2005年桂东南汉、壮民族下降最为显著。[结论]80年代中期广西普遍接种乙肝疫苗以后,乙肝疫苗阻断乙型病毒性肝炎在广西青少年母婴传播及水平传播效果已经显现。建议在广西各地区,尤其是在桂西北少数民族地区进一步加强乙型肝炎基因工程疫苗的接种工作力度,使乙型病毒性肝炎感染率控制到更低的水平。     

头孢替唑钠与头孢哌酮治疗小儿急性细菌性下呼吸道感染的临床疗效比较

目的:评价头孢替唑钠治疗小儿急性细菌性下呼吸道感染的临床有效性、安全性。方法:轻、中度急性细菌性下呼吸道感染患儿115例分成2组,头孢替唑组58例,予头孢替唑钠20～80mg/(kg·d),溶于10%葡萄糖溶液中,分2次静脉滴注。头孢哌酮组57例,予头孢哌酮50～150mg/(kg·d),分二次静脉滴注。两组均以7~10d为一疗程。结果:头孢替唑钠组与头孢哌酮组的临床有效率分别为93%与91%(P>0.05),细菌清除率分别为92%与89%(P>0.05)。两组均无明显的不良反应。结论:头孢替唑可作为治疗小儿轻、中度急性细菌性下呼吸道感染有效和安全的抗生素。     

Prosthetic joint infectionsin the elderly

Total joint arthroplasty is among the most remarkable advances in orthopaedic surgery for the elderly, enabling themto regain physical function and be free of pain. Although uncommon, infection of the prosthetic joint causes serious morbidity leading to poor functional outcome with a mortality approaching 8% in the elderly. Most infections occur through inoculation of the prosthesis at the time of implantation and are due to Gram-positive cocci, although a third of the episodes are due to Gram-negative bacilli from a secondary focus. The management presents a major clinical and therapeutic challenge due to systemic and local comorbid conditions in the elderly. Medical and surgical treatment decisions for infected joint prosthesis are complex and should be individualized in each case. Optimal nutrition is essential for a successful outcome. Adverse reactions to medications are more common in the elderly due to end organ dysfunction and drug-drug interactions.     

Prevalence of anti-HCV in institutionalised mentally handicapped subjects

Data on the prevalence of antibody to hepatitis C virus among 278 subjects in an institution for the mentally handicapped were analysed by risk factors. A prevalence of 4% was found, higher than blood donors belonging to the same area (1.4%). No differences in prevalence with regard the length of residence, age, sex, degree of retardation or for presence of HBV markers were observed.     

Sternal abscess due to Bartonella (Rochalimaea) henselae in a renal transplant patient

 Bartonella henselae, previously called Rochalimaea henselae, is the causative agent of cat scratch disease (CSD) in immunocompetent subjects and bacillary angiomatosis in immunocompromised ones. Bone lesions are common in bacillary angiomatosis, but not in CSD. We present the case of a patient with a renal transplant treated by immunosuppressive therapy who developed a sternal abscess with a histological pattern of CSD. The CT pattern was that of a lytic bone lesion with adjacent fluid collection. The diagnosis was made on the basis of a polymerase chain reaction amplification performed on bone material. Bartonella henselae is a newly described bacteria that causes CSD in a normal host and bacillary angiomatosis in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of an osteolytic lesion of the sternum with adjacent fluid collection related to CSD, which occurred in a patient with a renal transplant.     

Adhesins of uropathogenic bacteria: Properties,identification and use for new antibacterial strategies

Adherence is a major virulence factor in the complex pathogenesis of urinary tract infections (UTI). Colonization of the urinary tract and subsequent spread of infection ascending to the kidneys depends not only on the expression of adhesins by bacteria but also on the presence of host factors which may either contribute to or inhibit infection. The presence of certain types of adhesins expressed by the bacteria and their interactions with epithelial cells play a role in determining where bacteria localize in the urinary tract, the kind and severity of symptoms and how the disease progresses. The knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying adherence may be useful for epidemiological research in the pathogenesis of UTI, for the diagnosis of different types of UTI and, in some cases, for prognosis. Furthermore, attachment to epithelia is a promising target for developing new methods in prophylaxis and therapy.     

医疗设备管理面临的新挑战

目前,医疗服务价格的调整特别是大型医疗设备的检查费用下调和高值耗材附加收费的封顶限制及药品加成的即将取消,在一定程度上减轻了患者的经济负担,但同时也造成医院收入大幅下降。作为设备管理部门,如何从医疗设备配置和管理等方面来引导、配合事关医院生存和患者福祉的医疗服务结构调整,是新形势下的新挑战。通过探讨提出从严格控制医疗设备购置费用、优化医疗设备配置、保证常规医疗设备和提高管理水平等4个方面争取找到一条使病患和医院双方共赢的道路。
