Objective To determine the causes and risk factors of antimicrobial treatment failure in patients with community-acquired pneumonia(CAP). Methods Hospitalized adults with CAP from January 2006 to December 2006 were analyzed retrospectively. Treatment failure was defined as appearance of nonresponding pneumonia and progressive pneumonia. Patient's clinical features were analyzed. Results All of 378 patients were involved in this study. Total antimicrobial treatment failure was happened in 50 patients(32 patients with non-responding pneumonia and 18 patients with progressive pneumonia). The causes were infectious (35 patients,70% ), non-infectious (11 patients,22% ) and undetermined (4 patients,8% ).Mortality of antimicrobial treatment failure was 18%(9/50, 8 patients died of infectious cause, 1 patient had no clear cause of death). Stepwise Logistic regression analysis showed that C-reactive protein, multilobar pneumonia,albumin < 30 g/L,renal function lesion,liver function lesion were related with antimicrobial treatment failure. Independent factors of treatment failure were multilobar pneumonia (P= 0.002) ,albumin <30 g/L(P = 0.001 ) and renal function lesion (P = 0.000). Conclusion The major challenge associated with antimicrobial treatment failure in hospitalized patients with CAP is infection, most of which is infection of drug resistant strain.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the multi-component,multi-target,multi-channel mechanism of Tibetan medicine Ptero-cephalus hookeri in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS:The selected target compounds (10 chemical struc-tures of P. hookeri)were imported and stored by related software;target prediction and filtering were conducted by PharmMapper and DrugBank databases. The pathways of targets were acquired and analyzed by MAS 3.0 database. Finally P. hookeriactive com-ponent-targeting-pathwaynetwork was constructed by Cytoscape 3.4.0 software. RESULTS:The target information obtained in the PharmMapper database were compared with that of the DrugBank database for inflammation-related drugs,26 potential targets for the treatment of RA were obtained,in which MAPK14,RXRA,ALB,PDE4D,VDR may be the main potential target gene group in the treatment of RA. 57 functional pathways were obtained after 26 functional targets were annotated by pathway. In addition to 27 RA-related pathways,30 other pathways such as endocrine regulation and immune were involved. CONCLUSIONS:Base on the study of network pharmacology,P. hookeri plays the role in the treatment of RA by acting on inflammation,immune,endo-crine and related targets and pathways.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the method for the determination of oleanolic acid and ursolic acid in different medicinal parts of Tibetan medicine Pteocephalus hookeri,and compare the differences among the different parts. METHODS:The contents of oleanolic acid and ursolic acid from different medicinal parts(whole plant,aerial part,underground part)of P. hookeri were de-termined by UPLC-PDA. The separation was performed on Acquity UPLC HSS T3 column(150 mm×2.1 mm,1.8 μm)with mobile phase consisted of methanol-0.1 mol/L ammonium acetate(88:12,V/V)at the flow rate of 0.2 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 210 nm,and column temperature was 30 ℃. The sample size was 5 μL. RESULTS:The linear ranges of oleanolic acid and ursolic acid were 10.65-1065 μg/mL (r=0.9996) and 18.8-1880 μg/mL (r=0.9994),separately. The recoveries were 96.95%(RSD=1.24%,n=9) and 98.12%(RSD=2.13%,n=9),separately. RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were all less than 3%. The contents of oleanolic acid and ursolic acid from different medicinal parts in P. hookeri were in de-scending order of aerial part>whole plant>underground part;the average total content of oleanolic acid and ursolic acid from whole plants was 0.35%,the aerial part reached 0.56% and underground part was 0.09%. CONCLUSIONS:The method is rapid, accurate and reproducible,and it is suitable for the content determination of oleanolic acid and ursolic acid in different medicinal parts of Tibetan medicine P. hookeri. The contents of oleanolic acid and ursolic acid from aerial part of P. hookeri are higher than whole plant and underground part. It is suggested to use aerial parts of medicine.

OBJECTIVETo study pharmacokinetic effect of Aikeqing Granule (AG) by different medication ways on zidovudine (AZT) in highly active antiretroviral therapy ( HAART) of rats.

METHODSTotally 36 rats were administered with corresponding medications by gastrogavage, group I [HAART: AZT 31.5 mg/kg +3TC 31.5 mg/kg + Efavirenz (EFV) 63.0 mg/kg], group II (HAART+AG525 mg/kg), group III (HAART and AG 525 mg/kg after a 2-h interval). Drug concentrations of AZT were determined by high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (HPLC-MS) before HAART, and at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 h after HAART, respectively. Pharmacokinetic parameters [such as t1/2, Tmax, Cmax, AUCo-t, plasma clearance rate (CL)] were calculated by DAS2.0 Software.

Objective:To investigate any change in the effective connectivity between the bilateral anterior central gyruses after transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).Methods:Twenty-one healthy subjects were examined using resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) before and after receiving continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS). The brain atlas of the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was used for fine partitioning of the bilateral anterior central gyruses. Granger causality analysis was used to compare any changes in the effective connectivity between them.Results:After the cTBS inhibited the right M1 area, significant changes in effective connectivity among the sub-regions of the bilateral M1 area were observed. The effective connectivity of the right upper limb to the left upper limb and the left head to face were weakened, while that of the left upper limb to the right head, as well as of the face to the right upper limb was enhanced.Conclusion:For people whose right M1 area has been inhibited by cTBS, the effective connectivity changes in both upper limb functional areas of the M1 region reflect inter-hemispheric inhibition. Opposite changes were found in the trunk and upper limbs.

Objective:To explore the effect of breastfeeding intervention scheme based on co-parenting theory on the breastfeeding of primiparas.Methods:The convenient sampling method was adopted to select 67 primiparal and their 67 spouses who underwent prenatal check-ups in the Obstetrics Clinic of Fengtai Maternal & Child Health Hospital in 2019 as the research objects. The 35 primiparas and their 35 spouses whose expected delivery date was from October to November 2019 were set as the control group and 32 primiparas and their 32 spouses whose expected delivery date was from December 2019 to January 2020 were set as the experimental group. The control group was given breastfeeding knowledge education and answers to questions through WeChat groups, while the experimental group received breastfeeding nursing intervention based on co-parenting theory on the basis of the control group. The rate of exclusive breastfeeding, the simplified Chinese version of Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form (BSES-SF) score, the Brief Coparenting Relationship Scale (Brief CRS) score of primiparas, and the Chinese version of Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IIFAS) score of the spouses of primiparas at 6 weeks postpartum were compared between the two groups.Results:The rate of exclusive breastfeeding in the experimental group at 6 weeks postpartum was 87.5% (28/32) , which was higher than 77.1% (27/35) in the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant (χ 2=0.432, P>0.05) . In the experimental group, the score of inner activity dimension of the simplified Chinese version of BSES-SF was (20.78±5.05) , the total score of the Brief CRS was (71.84±8.60) and the total score of the Chinese version of IIFAS among spouses of primiparas was (63.38±7.25) , which were higher than (16.94±4.78) , (67.00±10.94) , (59.89±5.92) of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=3.196, 2.002, 2.166; P<0.05) . Conclusions:The breastfeeding intervention scheme based on co-parenting theory can improve the attitude of spouses of primiparas to infant feeding and co-parenting perception of primiparas, and the effect of the intervention on improving the rate of exclusive breastfeeding and self-efficacy of breastfeeding needs to be further verified.
