Catheter‐related bacteremia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among catheter‐dependent hemodialysis patients. Microorganism biofilm matrix formation in the catheter is the pathogenic process of this entity. Administration of systemic antibiotics and removal of the offending catheter is the most logical treatment. This article discusses an alternative option, instillation of an antibiotic‐lock solution into the lumen of the catheter plus systemic antibiotic therapy. Recent studies suggest that this strategy could treat the infection and salvage the catheter, thus avoiding the need for further interventional procedures including but not limited to the removal of the catheter, placement of a temporary catheter, and finally placement of a new permanent catheter. The implementation of this effective approach will reduce morbidity and possibly reduce the cost and interventions associated with it. 相似文献

Summary The efficiency of prophylactic antibiotic therapy in amputation surgery was studied in a prospective, randomized trial of a first-generation cephalosporin (cephalothin) compared with a narrow-spectrum betalactam stable penicillin (methicillin). Eighty-eight patients received cephalothin 2 g x 4 on the day of operation, while 86 patients received methicillin 1 g x 4. The patients were followed up for 21 days. Infected wounds occurred in 14.8% of the patients in the cephalothin group, compared with 14% in the methicillin group. The frequency of deep infections was 10.2% versus 4.7% (P = 0.1611). The reamputation frequency was 18.2% in the cephalothin group compared with 12.8% in the methicillin group; the frequency of below-knee reamputation was 18.4% versus 7.7% (P = 0.1469). No clostridial infections were found. The study did not demonstrate any significant difference between cephalothin and methicillin in the prophylaxis for lower-extremity amputations, although the latter drug tended to be the best choice. 相似文献

Vascular access dysfunction is a major cause of morbidity in hemodialysis (HD) patients. An upper extremity autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) that preferentially involves the cephalic vein is the access of choice for HD patients, followed by autogenous AVF utilizing the basilic vein and the use of prosthetic arteriovenous grafts (AVGs). Despite these recommendations, central venous catheter (CVC) use is widespread among both incident and prevalent HD patients. Long‐term use of CVCs for HD is complicated by a high rate of infection and thrombus‐related dysfunction. Catheter locking solutions have been used both prophylactically and therapeutically for catheter thrombosis as well as catheter‐related infections, with varying degrees of success. This review aims to address the different catheter locking solutions, their advantages and disadvantages, and new directions in this field. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Whether Q fever responds better to doxycycline or erythromycin is unknown. METHODS: The efficacy of doxycycline and erythromycin in the treatment of pneumonia due to Q fever was assessed in a prospective, randomised, double blind study of 82 patients with a diagnosis of pneumonia and features suggestive of Q fever infection; 48 proved to have Q fever. Of the 48, 23 received doxycycline 100 mg twice a day and 25 patients received erythromycin 500 mg six hourly, both for 10 days. RESULTS: Both treatment groups had similar demographic characteristics. Fever showed a more rapid reduction in the doxycycline group (3(1.6) days versus 4.3(2) days). Side effects were observed in two patients receiving doxycycline compared with 11 patients receiving erythromycin (p less than 0.01). No differences were observed in other clinical or radiological measures. By day 40 the chest radiograph was normal in 47 of 48 patients. CONCLUSION: The results demonstrate the self limiting and benign nature of most cases of pneumonia due to Q fever. Doxycycline was more effective than erythromycin. 相似文献

Increasing the Osmolarity of Joint Irrigation Solutions May Avoid Injury to Cartilage: A Pilot Study
Anish K. Amin James S. Huntley A. Hamish R. W. Simpson Andrew C. Hall 《Clinical orthopaedics and related research》2010,468(3):875-884
Saline (0.9%, 285 mOsm) and Hartmann’s solution (255 mOsm) are two commonly used joint irrigation solutions that alter the
extracellular osmolarity of in situ chondrocytes during articular surgery. We asked whether varying the osmolarity of these
solutions influences in situ chondrocyte death in mechanically injured articular cartilage. We initially exposed osteochondral
tissue harvested from the metacarpophalangeal joints of 3-year-old cows to solutions of 0.9% saline and Hartmann’s solution
of different osmolarity (100–600 mOsm) for 2 minutes to allow in situ chondrocytes to respond to the altered osmotic environment.
The full thickness of articular cartilage then was “injured” with a fresh scalpel. Using confocal laser scanning microscopy,
in situ chondrocyte death at the injured cartilage edge was quantified spatially as a function of osmolarity at 2.5 hours.
Increasing the osmolarity of 0.9% saline and Hartmann’s solution to 600 mOsm decreased in situ chondrocyte death in the superficial
zone of injured cartilage. Compared with 0.9% saline, Hartmann’s solution was associated with greater chondrocyte death in
the superficial zone of injured cartilage, but not when the osmolarity of both solutions was increased to 600 mOsm. These
experiments may have implications for the design of irrigation solutions used during arthroscopic and open articular surgery. 相似文献

BackgroundIn revision total knee arthroplasty, zonal fixation methods with a combination of augments, press-fit stems, and sleeves are popular. We hypothesized that high distal femoral augmentation with diaphyseal press-fit stems leads to an increased rate of early aseptic loosening and that femoral metaphyseal sleeves improve implant survival. Therefore, we retrospectively investigated implant survival in relation to augment heights and sleeves.MethodsA total of 136 patients with mean clinical follow-up of 50 months (range, 28-85) who underwent modular total knee arthroplasty and revision total knee arthroplasty with semiconstrained implants between January 2012 and July 2018 were retrospectively evaluated. Implant survival with 4, 8, and 12 mm distal femoral augments was compared to no distal augmentation. Subsequently, a subgroup analysis was performed for femoral sleeve implantation.ResultsWe observed an implant survival rate of 97.0%, 87.5%, and 69.2% for 4, 8, and 12 mm distal femoral augmentation, respectively (P = .73; P = .19; P = .008). The implant survival rate with femoral sleeves was 95.8% for the 8 mm augments and 85.7% for the 12 mm augments (P = .42; P = .96). Without femoral sleeves, the implant survival rate was 78.3% with the 8 mm augments and 50.0% with the 12 mm augments (P = .02; P < .001).ConclusionHigher rates of aseptic femoral loosening were identified for distal femoral augmentation of 8 mm or more without metaphyseal sleeve fixation in semiconstrained implants. Thus, in cases with femoral metaphyseal bone damage requiring high distal femoral augmentation, metaphyseal sleeves should be used to avoid early aseptic femoral loosening. 相似文献

Background
Prosthetic joint infections (PJI) are still a major complication of hip and knee arthroplasties. Identification of the causative pathogens and knowledge of their antibiotic susceptibilities are essential for the management of these infections. The main purpose of the study was to identify and compare the causative bacteria of prosthetic knee and hip joint infections in a reference Italian orthopedic center and to characterize antibiotic resistance profiles of bacteria involved.Methods
Data from 429 patients with diagnosis of PJI were collected from January 2013 to June 2015: 229 presented a hip and 200 a knee prosthesis infection. Prostheses and periprosthetic tissues were treated with dithiothreitol before plating onto different media and broths. Identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were carried out by VITEK2 Compact (bioMerieux).Results
There was not a substantial difference in the etiology of hip and knee PJI: staphylococci were the most frequently isolated bacteria in both groups, followed by Enterobacteriaceae and Propionibacterium acnes. Staphylococci showed a high rate of methicillin resistance (144 of 341) and a worrying frequency of isolates were resistant to teicoplanin (9%). Only 8.3% of Enterobacteriaceae produced extended-spectrum beta-lactamases, whereas the rate of carbapenemase-producing bacteria was not significant.Conclusion
We observed similar etiology of hip and knee PJIs. Nevertheless, bacteria isolated from knee showed higher resistance rates to glycopeptides and fluoroquinolones when compared with those isolated from the hip. The reason for this difference remains to be elucidated in future studies. 相似文献14.

Purpose We previously found a potential predictive value in a retrospective analysis of spirometry and an expired gas analysis during
the exercise. We sought to reduce postoperative cardiopulmonary complications by selecting lung tumor resection procedures
based on a combination of specific preoperative cardiopulmonary function test results.
Methods Out of the 53 patients requiring a lung tumor resection, five preoperative parameters (forced expiratory volume in 1 s for
intact-side, maximal oxygen uptake, ejection fraction, occluded pulmonary artery pressure, and occluded total pulmonary vascular
resistant index) were used to assign patients to one of five risk categories in order to select the optimal pulmonary resection
procedure. The patients were later grouped according to their postoperative course to test the value of this procedure selection
method.
Results No patient died or developed severe complications after surgery. Five patients had mild complications, while 46 had a good
postoperative course; the 13 deaths, in the cancer cases, included 11 from primary or metastatic cancer and 2 from other causes.
The overall five-year survival was 61.4%.
Conclusion This method for determining a pulmonary resection procedure avoided postoperative deaths and severe cardiopulmonary complications,
while achieving a good outcome. 相似文献

BackgroundThe treatment of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is focused on the surgical or chemical removal of biofilm. Antibiotics in isolation are typically ineffective against PJI. Bacteria survive after antibiotic administration because of antibiotic tolerance, resistance, and persistence that arise in the resident bacteria of a biofilm. Small-colony variants are typically slow-growing bacterial subpopulations that arise after antibiotic exposure and are associated with persistent and chronic infections such as PJI. The role of biofilm-mediated antibiotic tolerance in the emergence of antibiotic resistance remains poorly defined experimentally.Questions/purposesWe asked: (1) Does prior antibiotic exposure affect how Staphylococcus aureus survives within a developing biofilm when exposed to an antibiotic that penetrates biofilm, like rifampicin? (2) Does exposure to an antibiotic with poor biofilm penetration, such as vancomycin, affect how S. aureus survives within a developing biofilm? (3) Do small-colony variants emerge from antibiotic-tolerant or -resistant bacteria in a S. aureus biofilm?MethodsWe used a porous membrane as an in vitro implant model to grow luminescent S. aureus biofilms and simultaneously track microcolony expansion. We evaluated the impact of tolerance on the development of resistance by comparing rifampicin (an antibiotic that penetrates S. aureus biofilm) with vancomycin (an antibiotic that penetrates biofilm poorly). We performed viability counting after membrane dissociation to discriminate among tolerant, resistant, and persistent bacteria. Biofilm quantification and small-colony morphologies were confirmed using scanning electron microscopy. Because of experimental variability induced by the starting bacterial inoculum, relative changes were compared since absolute values may not have been statistically comparable.ResultsAntibiotic-naïve S. aureus placed under the selective pressure of rifampicin initially survived within an emerging biofilm by using tolerance given that biofilm resident cell viability revealed 1.0 x 108 CFU, of which 7.5 x 106 CFU were attributed to the emergence of resistance and 9.3 x 107 CFU of which were attributed to the development of tolerance. Previous exposure of S. aureus to rifampicin obviated tolerance-mediate survival when rifampicin resistance was present, since the number of viable biofilm resident cells (9.5 x 109 CFU) nearly equaled the number of rifampicin-resistant bacteria (1.1 x 1010 CFU). Bacteria exposed to an antibiotic with poor biofilm penetration, like vancomycin, survive within an emerging biofilm by using tolerance as well because the biofilm resident cell viability for vancomycin-naïve (1.6 x 1010 CFU) and vancomycin-resistant (1.0 x 1010 CFU) S. aureus could not be accounted for by emergence of resistance. Adding rifampicin to vancomycin resulted in a nearly 500-fold reduction in vancomycin-tolerant bacteria from 1.5 x 1010 CFU to 3.3 x 107 CFU. Small-colony variant S. aureus emerged within the tolerant bacterial population within 24 hours of biofilm-penetrating antibiotic administration. Scanning electron microscopy before membrane dissociation confirmed the presence of small, uniform cells with biofilm-related microstructures when unexposed to rifampicin as well as large, misshapen, lysed cells with a small-colony variant morphology [29, 41, 42, 63] and a lack of biofilm-related microstructures when exposed to rifampicin. This visually confirmed the rapid emergence of small-colony variants within the sessile niche of a developing biofilm when exposed to an antibiotic that exerted selective pressure.ConclusionTolerance explains why surgical and nonsurgical modalities that rely on antibiotics to “treat” residual microscopic biofilm may fail over time. The differential emergence of resistance based on biofilm penetration may explain why some suppressive antibiotic therapies that do not penetrate biofilm well may rely on bacterial control while limiting the emergence of resistance. However, this strategy fails to address the tolerant bacterial niche that harbors persistent bacteria with a small-colony variant morphology.Clinical RelevanceOur work establishes biofilm-mediated antibiotic tolerance as a neglected feature of bacterial communities that prevents the effective treatment of PJI. 相似文献
