Cerebrolysin is an aqueous mixture of amino acids extracted from porcine brain.Cerebrolysin, contains a variety of amino acids and low molecular weight peptides, are permeable to the blood-brain barrier and blood-ocular barrier and can directly act on neurons in the CNS.As amino acid-based neuroprotective reagents, cerebrolysin can improve the neuronal metabolism, promote synapse formation and induce neuronal differentiation, and thus elicit neuroprotective efffectagainst insults such as ischemia , neurotoxins and so on.Cerebrolysin is clinicly used to treat eye diseases such as traumatic eye damage, glaucoma, optic atrophy ect.This paper systematically summarizes the studies on preclinical and clinical application of cerebrolysin in ophthalmology.

OBJECTIVE To optimize the parameters of passive cutaneous anaphylaxis(PCA)in rats immunized by ovalbumin(OVA). METHODS 1-2 month-old Sprague-Dawley rats were immu?nized by ip injection of OVA(0.2,1.0 and 5.0 mg per rat)mixed with complete Freund′s adjuvant once every other day 3 times. Serum was collected on the 12th-16th days after final immunization. Then the rats were intracutaneously injected with sensitized serum and then stimulated by iv injection of the same dose of OVA mixed with Evans blue after a latent period of 0.5,1.5,3,6,12,24,36,48 and 60 h. Finally,the diameters of blue spots in the skin were measured at stimulation. RESULTS Serum total-IgE(T-IgE)and OVA-specific IgE(sIgE)levels increased significantly and reached the peak on the 3rd-7th days and 12th-16th days after final immunization,respectively. There was no correlation between the serum T-IgE level and OVA-sIgE level when the rats were immunized with OVA at OVA 0.2-5.0 mg per rat. The rats experienced PCA after injection of OVA 1.0 and 5.0 mg per rat. Diameters of blue spots in the skin reached the maximum value after rats were sensitized for 0.5-3 h. Moreover,the shape,color and size of blue spots were better 30-60 min after stimulation. CONCLUSION Optimized PCA is as follows:1-2 month-old rats are immunized on the 1st,3rd and 5th days by ip injection of OVA 1.0-5.0 mg. The immunizing serum is collected at 12-16 d after final immunization. The rats are stimulated by OVA and Evans blue after a latent period of 0.5-3 h. Diameters of blue spots in rats′ skin are then measured 30-60 min after stimulation.

Objective To explore the impact of healthcare-associated septicemia (HAS)on hospitalization expense as well as length of hospital stay,so as to optimize the allocation of healthcare resources,and provide scientific basis for reducing the economic burden caused by septicemia.Methods Hospitalized patients with confirmed HAS in a tertiary first-class teaching hospital between June 1 ,2012 and May 31 ,2015 were investigated retrospectively,con-trol group was set up in a 1 :1 ratio,hospitalization expense and length of hospital stay between two groups were compared.Results A total of 285 cases and 285 controls were enrolled in the study,the median of hospitalization expense in case group was higher than control group (¥19 718.39 vs ¥9 289.04,P <0.05);the median of length of hospital stay in case group was longer than control group (14.89 days vs 9.22 days,P <0.05).The disease bur-den caused by septicemia in different age groups and departments were different.The improvement rate of case group was lower than control group (76.49% [218/285 ]vs 83.51 % [238/285 ],χ2 = 2.562,P = 0.009 ). Conclusion As the common blood stream infection in hospitalized patients,septicemia not only increased the ex-pense of diagnosis and treatment,but also affected turnover rate of hospital bed.Rapid and effective diagnosis and treatment is significant o prevent and control septicemia.

Objective To explore the dosimetric differences between abdominal deep inspiration breath hold(ADIBH)mode and free breath(FB)mode in intensity modulated radiation therapy(IMRT)for left breast cancer.Methods From July 2022 to May 2023,a total of 22 patients who needed adjuvant radiation therapy after left breast cancer surgery in the hospital were selected as the research objects.The simulated computed tomography(CT)positioning images of ADIBH and FB modes were collected,the planned target volume(PTV)and endangered organs were outlined,the IMRT plan was designed,and the dosimetric param-eters of the two modes were compared.Results There was no significant difference in the mean dose(Dmean),homogeneity index(HI)and conformity index(CI)of PTV between the ADIBH and the FB modes(P>0.05).Compared with the FB mode,the heart Dmean,V5,V10,V20,V30 and V40 in the ADIBH mode decreased by 2.95 Gy,12.21%,8.26%,6.56%,5.41%and 3.48%,respectively,and the left anterior descending(LAD)coronary artery Dmean,maximum dose(Dmax),minimum dose(Dmin)and V40 decreased by 15.99 Gy,16.10 Gy,0.82 Gy and 13.73%,respectively,with statistical significance(P<0.05).Compared with the FB mode,the dose and volume of heart irradiation in the ADIBH mode at the same level were significantly reduced.Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between heart Dmean and LAD Dmean in the ADIBH mode(r=0.72),and between heart Dmean and LAD Dmean in the FB mode(r=0.69).Compared with the FB mode,the left lung Dmean of the ADIBH mode decreased by 0.99 Gy,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).However,there was no significant difference in left lung V5,right lung Dmean and right breast Dmean between the two breathing modes(P>0.05).Conclusion ADIBH mode can effectively reduce the dose to the heart and LAD,and play a good protective role.

Objective To explore the application effect of early warning scoring system in condition evaluation of high risk neonates. Methods 120 high-risk neonates born in our hospital were selected as observation group and 150 normal newborns in the same period as control group. Early warning scoring system and children′s early warning score system were conducted to both groups, and the results were compared.Results In the early warning scoring system, frequency of breath, cardiac rhythm, respiratory distress, and lethargy/coma in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( P<0.05);but body temperature showed no apparent change in both groups (P>0.05); early warning scores of 105 neonates in the observation group were not lower than 2 points, with the most going to respiratory diseases, sepsis, congenital heart disease and unexplained seizures;in the two scoring systems, scores of sensitivity, Youden index, negative predictive value and positive predictive value were significantly different ( P<0.05); specificity of the two groups showed no obvious contrast (P>0.05); area under the curve showed obvious difference between the two groups (P<0. 05) . Conclusions Early warning scoring system can evaluate effectively condition changes of high-risk neonates, reflect accurately their severity, and has fine flexibility and operability. It is worth promoting in clinic.
