Background: Intracranial infection by Acinetobacter baumannii () after neurosurgery has always been a difficult problem for neurosurgeons. This study analyzed risk factors that discriminated from other bacteria causing intracranial infection after neurosurgery. It also examined the differences in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) indexes to explore their value in the early diagnosis of intracranial infection by
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed ten years (January 2011 to May 2021) of postoperative central nervous system (CNS) infections in the First Hospital of China Medical University.
Global shrub encroachment (SE) affects the structure and function of grassland ecosystem. The effects of SE on plant and soil abiotic properties have been well studied; however, little is known about the extent to which driving forces structure soil microbes under SE, especially in subalpine regions of the Guizhou Plateau of China, which is undergoing progressive SE. We investigated the plant factors (viz, plant diversity and relative shrub cover), soil physicochemical properties, enzymatic activities, and microbial communities, quantified microbial element limitations under three encroachment stages, and disentangled the effects sizes of the factors that structure the diversity and composition of soil microbial communities.
