Changes in coagulation indexes, thromboelastogram(TEG) and autoantibodies in patients with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) with different number of abortions were analyzed. ⋯ RPL was related to the decrease of APTT, PT, and the increase of FIB and DD levels.

To analyze the distribution of common pathogenic bacteria and pattern of drug resistance in the blood culture of inpatients. ⋯ G-positive bacteria were mainly detected in the positive blood culture samples of inpatients in this hospital. Daptomycin, linezolid and vancomycin were preferred for G-positive cocci, while amikacin was highly sensitive to G-negative bacilli.
