Total glucosides of paeony (TGP)is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis(RA)as the first immunoregulatory drug in clinic.The efficacy of TGP in treating RA patients is definite, which is accompanied with mild adverse reaction and slow effects simultaneously.Paeoniflorin (Pae ),the main constituents of TGP,has a bioavailability of 3% ~4%,which may be served as the main reason for its slow effects.Therefore,in this paper,the pharmacokinetics of Pae as well as its influencing factors were re-viewed on basis of pulished papers.In addition,some problems about Pae were also discussed.

Objective To survey the application of diagnosis and implementation of treatment guidelines of cerebrovascular disease( CAD)combined community acquired pneumonia( CAP)in the community of Shenyang. Methods Randomly chose 7 hospitals in different levels in districts and counties of Shenyang,and made a retrospective survey on the treatments of CAD combined CAP from Oct. 2009 to Jun. 2012 to clear the implementation. Meanwhile,the collected cases were divided into in compliance with guidelines group and non compliance with guidelines group. The information including clinical stable time,length of hospital stay,efficient treatment,empiric therapy and prognosis with the help of guidelines were collected. Results Four hundred and eighty-eight cases were qualified from collected 532 cases,in which,38. 5% initial diagnosis and treatment was accord with the guidelines formulated by the Respiratory Branch of Chinese Medical Association. The efficiency of initial empirical treatment was 84. 5%. The clinical stable time in compliance with guidelines group was (5. 00 ± 0. 27)d,better than that in non compliance with guidelines group((8. 00 ± 0. 45)d;P=0. 021). The length of hospital stay was(11. 00 ± 0. 25)d in compliance with guidelines group,significantly less than that in non compliance with guidelines group(( 14. 00 ± 0. 53 ) d;P =0. 015 ). The effective rate of patients with respiratory failure in compliance with guidelines group was 90. 9%,higher than non compliance with guidelines group(58. 6%),and the difference was significant(P=0. 026),while there were no significant differences in terms of gender,heart and lung diseases. Conclusion There is the smaller patient proportion that diagnosed and cured in accordance with the guidelines formulated by the Respiratory Branch of Chinese Medical Association. It is no distinctive difference for the efficient treatment of guidelines. But selected antibiotic application according to the guidelines can improve the clinical stable time and hospital stay of CAD combined CAP,as well as reduce invalid cases and reduce the mortality rate. The guidelines need to be further extended.

The myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS) comprise a heterogeneous group of clonal disorders.A unique aspect of MDS is the notion that both bone marrow failure and the propensity toward development of acute leukemia coexist. Origin of abnormal clone with MDS occurs at the level of multipotent progenitors or above it. Recently some kinds of MDS were observed the abnormal clone has been potentially originated from normal CD+34 CD-38 Thy-1 + hematopoietic stem cells. The abnormal clones with different chromosomal abnormality have different distribution. With the propotion of abnormal clonality increasing MDS has aggravated. Coherent result will provide new insight into the clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of MDS by strengthening the research of MDS clonality.

Objective To evaluate the biomechanical characteristics of the long U-shaped hollow pedicle screw system for percutaneous fixation of thoracolumbar fractures.Methods Models of vertebral compression fracture were created by flexion in 8 fresh cadaveric samples of thoracolumbar spine.The models were divided into 2 equal groups according to the fixation system applied.In group A conventional pedicle screws were used while in group B long U-shaped hollow pedicle screws were used.The yield compressive strength,axial compression stiffness,bending stiffness,torque and torsional stiffness of all the fixated spines in the 2 groups were tested by the bio-mechanical electrical measurement and compared as well.Results The conventional pedicle screws and long U-shaped hollow pedicle screws showed no significant differences regarding yield compressive strength (3450.02 ± 110.03 MPa vs.3430.04 ± 102.12 MPa),axial compressionstiffness (407.52 ± 33.02 N/mm vs.395.04 ± 26.46 N/mm),bending stiffness (305.14 ± 26.53 N · cm/Degvs.295.12±23.80 N · cm/Deg),torque (6.45±0.25 N · m vs.6.25±0.21 N · m) or torsional stiffness (0.54±0.04N·cm/Degvs.0.52±0.03N·cm/Deg) (P＞ 0.05).Conclusion The long U-shaped hollow pedicle screw system can satisfy the biomechanical requirements for fixation of thoracolumbar fractures and can function as well as the conventional pedicle screw system.

Objective To investigate distributions and drug resistance of pathogens in cirrhotic ascites comphcated with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP). Methods Results of bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests of 117 aacitie specimens from cirrhotic patients with SBP were analyzed retrospectively. Results From the 117 ascitie specimens, 117 bacterial strains were isolated, among which 71 (60.68%)were gram-negative bacteria, 45 (38.46%) were gram-positive bacteria. The isolated strains were highly resistant to antibacterial agents, especially for Escherchia coli and Staphylococcu, the resistances to most antibiotics were above 60%. Conclusions High drug resistances were common for pathogenic bacteria in aacites of liver cirrhosis patients complicated with SBP.

Abstract? AlM: To investigate the application effect of recombinant human epidermal growth factor derivative eye drops ( Jinyinshu) in treatment of dry eye.?METHODS:Sixty cases ( 87 eyes ) of dry eye patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group, 42 eyes and 45 eyes respectively. The control group received Chondroitin sulfate eye drops treatment, and the observation group were used for treatment of Jinyinshu. The changes of clinical efficacy, correlation index (symptom score, BUT, S l t, FL) before and after treatment, quality of life after treatment and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared.? RESULTS: ln the control group, the total clinical effective rate was 71%, which was significantly lower than that in the observation group ( 91%) , the difference was statistically significant ( P<0. 05 ); There were statistical differences of symptom scores, BUT, S▏t and FL level of the two groups before and after treatment (P<0. 05), and there were statistical differences of the above indexes after treatment between the two groups ( P<0. 05 ); The quality of life score was 142. 16 ± 10. 32 of the observation group after treatment, which was significantly higher than that in the control group after treatment (115. 24±7. 34), the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05); The incidence of adverse reaction of the control group was 13%, 10% in the observation group, and there were no statistical differences (P>0. 05).?CONCLUSlON:Jinyinshu is significantly effective in the treatment of dry eye, and its clinical efficacy is better than chondroitin sulfate.

Objective To investigate the virologic responses to pegylated-interferon alfa-2a (PegIFNα-2a) plus ribavirin therapy for cryoglobulinemia positive chronic hepatitis C in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 b.Methods Clinical data on 60 chronic hepatitis C patients with HCV genotype 1b were collected from Huzhou Central Hospital during January 2008 and December 2012.The patients were divided into cryoglobulinemia positive group (n =22) and cryoglobulinemia negative group (n =38),and both received 48-week PegIFNα-2a (180 μg) plus ribavirin treatments.For those who could not tolerate the treatment,PeglFNα-2a was reduced to 135 μg from 12th week.Rapid virologic response (RVR),end of treatment virologic response (ETVR) and sustained virologic response (SVR) in two groups were observed and compared using Chi-square test.Results RVR,ETVR and SVR in cryoglobulinemia positive group were 59.1％ (13/22),81.8％ (18/22) and 31.8％ (7/22),while those in cryoglobulinemia negative group were 55.3％ (21/38),76.3％ (29/38) and 60.5％ (23/38).There was significant difference in SVRs between two groups (x2 =4.674,P ＜ 0.05).For those completed full course of antiviral therapy with 180 μg PegIFNα-2a,the RVR and SVR in cryoglobulinemia negative group tended to be higher than those in cryoglobulinemia positive group,but the differences were not statistically significant (x2 =1.524 and 1.009,P ＞ 0.05).Serious adverse reactions were observed in 9 (40.9％) patients of cryoglobulinemia positive group,while in 11 (28.9％) patients of cryoglobulinemia negative group (x2 =0.887,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Cryoglobulinemia may not have considerable impact on virologic responses to PegIFNα-2a plus ribavirin therapy in patients with chronic genotype 1b hepatitis C.
