Objective To investigate the drug resistance and homogeneous analysis of Acinetobacter baumanii in emergency intensive care unit ( EICU) . Methods Four multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii ( MDR-Ab) strains isolated fromnosocomial inpatients fromJuly 25 to September 7 in 2009 were collected and tested for drug sensitivity and MIC determination as well. The A. baumannii isolates were typed with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis ( PFGE) to determine whether they derived fromthe same clone.Results Four isolates from nosocomial inpatients were resistant to multiple antibiotics including carbapenem. The PFGE types identified from four isolates were A and B. The A. baumannii isolates did not derived from the same clone. Conclusion The prevalence of nosocomial infection is not due to transmission of the same strains among different individuals in EICU.
Abstract In order to supply allografts for reconstruction of finger, repair of tendon or tendon sheath, the hands from fresh cadavers of healthy young persons who died from accident were amputated at the wristlevel. After disinfected, packed and labelled, the hands were stored into a deep freezer at -30℃ as bank storage. Before grafting, the skin and subcutaneoustissue were stripped from the frozen finger. Then it was immersed in an antibiotic fluid for 1 hour. The results showed that the immunological antigenicity of allograft was decreased by the freezing method. Bony union between the impacted host bone and the allogeneic phalangeal bone was seen on X-ray films. Bone absorption and joint degeneration were found at the area where no impaction between bones. The healing between tendons from host and that from the allografts was b. It was concluded that establishing a cadaveric hand bank in hospital was as important as establishing a bone bank for the supply of bone, joint, tendon, tendon sheath and finger composite tissue, for allogeneic grafts.
