国内三家医院33 例临床隐球菌病病原菌分离、药敏试验和临床分析

目的 了解国内三家医院临床确诊隐球菌病的分布、药敏试验、临床特点以及抗生素治疗等，提高临床对隐球菌病临床特征的认识。方法 回顾性分析2018 ～ 2019 年国内三家医疗机构33 例确诊隐球菌病患者的临床表现、治疗、预后及实验室检查和药敏结果。结果 33 例隐球菌病患者（男性25 例，女性8 例）平均年龄50.4±12.6 岁，10 例无基础疾病。33 株隐球菌中新生隐球菌31 株，格特隐球菌2 株，其中16 株(48.5%) 来自脑脊液，7 株(21.2%) 来自肺穿组织。常见的中枢神经系统的临床症状有发热18 例，头痛14 例，恶心呕吐9 例。药敏结果显示，所有菌株对两性霉素B、氟康唑、伊曲康唑和伏立康唑均没有获得耐药；1 株对氟胞嘧啶有获得性耐药。脑隐球菌病主要选择两性霉素B 进行治疗，肺隐球菌病选择氟康唑，好转15 例，死亡3 例，转院8 例，另有7 例未经治疗转院。结论 隐球菌对人类致病的主要是新生隐球菌和格特隐球菌。中枢神经系统症状以发热、头痛和恶心呕吐最常见，单纯肺隐球菌病无典型的中枢神经系统的症状；绝大多数菌株均没有获得耐药；临床应重视病原学检测，及时使用抗真菌治疗，对疾病的诊治和预后十分重要。     

Is routine extubation overnight safe in cardiac surgery patients?

Objectives

Expedient extubation after cardiac surgery has been associated with improved outcomes, leading to postoperative extubation frequently during overnight hours. However, recent evidence in a mixed medical-surgical intensive care unit population demonstrated worse outcomes with overnight extubation. This study investigated the impact of overnight extubation in a statewide, multicenter Society of Thoracic Surgeons database.

Human metabolism: pathways and clinical aspects

Metabolism describes the series of chemical reactions that are concerned with the provision of energy to biological systems. They may be divided into reactions involved in energy yield (catabolism: demand exceeds supply), and energy storage (anabolism: supply exceeds demand). Regulation of these pathways is critical for homeostasis, and derangements in metabolism are seen in a wide variety of pathological processes. Understanding metabolism is key to the treatment of many diseases, notably diabetes, as well as underpinning clinical nutritional support.

Atypical Abnormal Pulmonary Vein Drainage with Atrial Septal Defect: Surgical Treatment

Sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SV‐ASD) usually coexists with partial anomalous pulmonary vein connection (PAPVC). It is a difficult diagnosis in transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) due to eccentric position of defects. We present a rare case of atypical anatomical variation in PAPVC, which was never described before. Two right pulmonary veins drained into superior vena cava, which overrode SV‐ASD and interatrial septum, a third pulmonary vein into the right atrium. Complete diagnosis could not be set after TTE, nor transesophageal echocardiography, whereas angio‐CT was finally conclusive. This diagnostic approach allowed the surgical planning.
