Enterococcal bacteremia in a medical center

BACKGROUND: The enterococci have become important nosocomial pathogens. They can cause multiple site infections and enterococcal bacteremia becomes more frequently associated with a high mortality rate. Previous studies of enterococcal bacteremia showed a variety of results. To establish the significance and importance of enterococci as nosocomial pathogens in this hospital, to characterize their clinical pictures and to search for the risk factors for mortality, this retrospective study was performed. METHODS: There were 208 cases of enterococcal bacteremia which occurred from 1988 to 1992. Twenty-seven cases had no medical charts, dismissing possibility of evaluation. Finally, 181 cases of enterococcal bacteremia were analysed. RESULTS: One hundred and eighteen episodes were nosocomial infections. Polymicrobial bacteremia occurred in 68.5% of the patients and the most common co-isolate was Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Those patients (78.5%) with underlying diseases and malignancies were the most common underlying problems. The portal of entry could be found in 69.6 percent of patients, with the gastrointestinal tract the most common sources. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed high gentamicin resistance rate (89.5%), and ampicillin still had about 80 percent sensitivity rate. The group who received specific antibiotic therapy for enterococcus showed lower mortality (36.4% versus 47.6%). Only one case had infective endocarditis. Forty-nine patients suffered from septic shock, the cause of 30 deaths. Totally 75 patients died during hospitalization. Besides sepsis, another major cause of death was their underlying diseases itself. CONCLUSIONS: Enterococci have no doubt become important nosocomial pathogens and enterococcal bacteremia were associated with high mortality, especially in elderly patients with underlying diseases such as malignancy or diabetes. When clinically dealing with sepsis from the gastrointestinal or biliary tract, especially when previous cephalosporins therapy showed no response, the possibility of enterococcal bacteremia should always be considered.     

超细Fe3O4粒子表面包覆酞菁钴性质研究

本文研究了合成载氧体的金属有机化学液相淀积法制造工艺，所得产物经ＴＥＭ、ＸＰＳ、Ｍｏｓｓ－ｂａｕｅｒ谱和Ｂ－Ｈ仪等手段，研究了它的结构和磁性能。实验表明，酞青钴以薄层形式包覆在Ｆｅ＿３Ｏ＿４的表面，封闭了Ｆｅ＿３Ｏ＿４的表面孔洞，稳定了Ｆｅ＿３Ｏ＿４的物相，增强了磁性能。     

"网吧"等互联网上网服务营业场所消防安全形势及防火对策

“网吧”等互联网上网服务营业场所 (以下简称网吧 )是集上网聊天、上网冲浪、发电子邮件、查寻资料、休闲娱乐于一体的公共娱乐场所 ,普遍受到人们特别是青少年的欢迎。网吧在给人们工作、学习、生活带来便利的同时 ,也带来了一定的火灾危险 ,震惊全国的北京海淀区“6 .16 -蓝极速”特大火灾事故就是一个典型的案例。网吧存在的突出消防安全问题 ,已经引起公安消防机构的重视 ,并纳入消防监督检查视线 ,部署开展了以网吧为重点的消防安全专项整治。网吧的消防安全现状如何 ,究竟有何火灾危险 ,如何防范 ,笔者谈了以下拙见。　　一、网吧的…

BaFe12O19/SiO2-B2O3微晶玻璃陶瓷的制备和微波性能

采用柠檬酸sol-gel工艺合成了BaFe12O19/SiO2-B2O3微晶玻璃陶瓷，研究了SiO2-B2O3玻璃的含量，Ba/Fe原子比和热处理温度对体系析出晶相的影响，以及介电常数和磁异率在1MHz-6GHz频率范围的变化规律，结果表明，休系中SiO2-B2O3玻璃的含量和Ba/Fe比越高，BaF312O19相的析出越困难，前驱体合适的热处理温度为1000℃，介电常数和磁导率基本上随测试频率的增而加下降；介电损耗的最大值为0．43，磁损耗较小。     

On exploring inter-iteration parallelism within rate-balanced multirate multidimensional DSP algorithms

Although the notion of the parallelism in multidimensional applications has existed for a long time, it is so far unknown what the bound (if any) of inter-iteration parallelism in multirate multidimensional digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms is, and whether the maximum inter-iteration parallelism can be achieved for arbitrary multirate data flow algorithms. This paper explores the bound of inter-iteration parallelism within rate-balanced multirate multidimensional DSP algorithms and proves that this parallelism can always be achieved in hardware system given the availability of a large number of processors and the interconnections between them.
