Methods: 387 NGU cases with mycoplasma-positive results upon culture were analysed retrospectively. RESULTS: The majority of patients with mycoplasma infections were in the 20-40 year old age group. No significant difference was found between males and females. Ureaplasma urealyticum is the main pathogen of these NGU cases and no clear relationship between its concentration and pathogenic ability was noted. Drug sensitivity was tested against nine antibiotics; the sensitivity rates to josamycim, minocycline and doxycycline were 94.06%, 88.89% and 86.82% respectively, while the resistance rates to lincomycin, ofloxacin, azithromycin and roxthromycin were 74.94%, 42.12%, 41.60% and 40.31% in turn. Conclusions: Josamycin, minocycline and doxycycline could be used as the first choice to treat NGU with mycoplasma infections in Chongqing. It is important to select antibiotics for NGU treatment with mycoplasma infections based on the results of drug sensitivity tests.展开更多

The susceptibility of SP and NSP cells to DDP, 5-FU, VP16, NVB and GEM was detected by a drug susceptibility test, and IC50s were calculated 24 h a er the chemotherapy; and then a er a 2-hour IC50 treatment with 5 chemotherapeutic drugs on the 2 subsets of NSP cells, the intracellular drug levels were determined and analyzed using high performance liquid chromatograph.RESULTS There was no statistical signifi cance in comparison of the di. erences in IC50s and in intracellular drug levels a er DDP treatment between the 2 subsets （P 〉 0.05）, （P 〉 0.05）. However,all IC50s of the other 4 drugs were significantly higher in the SP cells than in the NSP cells （P 〈 0.01）. A er the chemotherapy, the intracellular drug levels of the other 4 drugs were significantly lower in SP cells than in NSP cells （P 〈 0.01）.CONCLUSION Compared to NSP cells, SP cells in the cell line A549 have stronger resistance to the chemotherapeutics. The multidrug resistance of SP cells closely correlates with the function of SP cells discharging chemotherapeutic agents.展开更多

Methods： The present study collected the results of bacterial culture sampled from the surface of 110 cases of skin ulcers at our hospital from January 2011 to December 2012. We analyzed the constituent ratios of ulcer surface bacteria, the change in the main infectious bacteria and the results of drugsensitivity testing for common bacteria. In addition, the characteristics of bacterial infection of skin ulcers were summarized. Result： Of the 110 samples, 90 isolated bacteria were cultured. Sixty-one were Gram-negative bacteria, mainly comprising Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae and Escherichia coli. In addition, 23 isolates were Gram-positive bacteria, mainly comprising Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis. The probability of a negative bacterial culture in 2012 was significantly lower than that in 2011 （16.7% vs. 40.0%, p 〈 0.01）. Moreover, the probability of P. aeruginosa infection in 2012 was significantly higher than that in 2011 （31.7% vs. 14.0%, p 〈 0.01）. P. aeruginosa was resistant to seven commonly used antibiotics. Both K. pneumoniae and E. coli had higher resistance to ampicillin. E. cloacae were not sensitive to piperacillin/tazobactam. Acinetobacter baumannii was resistant to all the tested drugs. S. aureus, E. faecalis and Staphylococcus epidermidis had high resistance to clindamycin. There was other drug resistance to reflect the higher rate of skin bacterial resistance. Conclusion： Skin bacterial resistance rate is high. Gram-negative bacteria gradually account for the majority, and P. aeruginosa becomes the most important skin infection pathogen. These characteristics of bacterial infections of skin ulcers provide a significant reference for guiding the selection of antibiotics, better controlling infections of skin ulcers and accelerating the healing of skin ulcers.展开更多
