    In order to investigate the susceptibility of mixed infection ofUreaplasma Urealyticum (UU) andMycoplasma Hominis (MH) to 7 kinds of antimicrobial agents and comparison with that of UU infection in NGU patients, thein vitro susceptibility was determined by using microdilution method. The positive results were analyzed. The results showed that the sequence of susceptibility to 7 kinds of antimicrobial agents for both UU infection group and UU-MH mixed infection group was almost the same from the highest susceptibility to the lowest accordingly: Josamycin, Doxycycline, Minocycline, Sparfloxacin, Roxithromycin, Ofloxacin and Azithromycin. The total drug resistance rate for UU-MH mixed infection group (97.67%) was significantly higher than that for UU infection group (44.67%,P<0.01). The highest drug resistance rate in UU group and UU-MH mixed infection group was 31.33% (Ofloxacin) and 90.48% (Azithromycin) respectively. UU-MH mixed infection showed an increased drug resistance and changes of drug resistance spectrum.

    To assess the potential therapeutic effect of propofol in the treatment of endotoxemia, 76 rats were randomly assigned to 5 groups: control group (A), endotoxemic group (B), pre-treatment group (C), simultaneous treatment group (D) and post-treatment group (E). Five h after endotoxin injection, PO2, pH, MAP, plasma concentrations of Nitrite/nitrate (NO2/NO3) and mortality rates were assessed in each group. After the rats were sacrificed, lung tissue was sampled to measure myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α contents. It was found that endotoxin injection produced progressive hypotension, metabolic acidosis, and a large increase in the plasma NO2/NO3 concentrations and increased mortality rates in 5h. Endotoxin injection significantly increased MPO activity and TNF-α contents in lung tissue (P<0.01 orP<0.05). These changes response to endotoxin were significantly attenuated in the groups B, C and D. But these beneficial effects were blunted in the group E. The results suggest that propofol administration may offer advantages in endotoxemia.
