Methods 92 cases with eczema from February 2015 to March 2017 were divided into two groups according to the treatment methods, the conventional group and the combined group, 46 cases in each group. The conventional group were given glucocorticoid, and the combined treatment group were received probiotics combined with glucocorticoid. The levels of serum inflammatory factors, the treatment effects of eczema and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results The treatment effect of eczema in combined group was higher than that in routine group (P<0.05). No severe adverse reactions occurred in the two groups. There was no significant difference in serum inflammatory factors between the two groups before treatment. The level of serum inflammatory factors in combined group was significantly better than that in tconventional group (P<0.05). Conclusion Probiotic assisted glucocorticoid is effective in the treatment of eczema. It can lower the level of inflammation and improve the condition of the body. It has no obvious adverse reaction which has the characteristics of safety and effectiveness.

Spinal cord injury is a serious disabling disease caused by a series of internal and external factors in the field of orthopaedics and neuroscience, which is a big problem for doctors all over the world. Lithium has been used to treat dipolar disorder for over 100 years. It has been reported that lithium is benefit for brain neuron. The treatment effect for spinal cord injury gets more and more attention. Researches indicate that lithium is benefit for spinal cord injury by protecting neuron,reducing after-injury inflammation increasing the produce and release of neurotrophins, stimulating neurogenesis, enhancing autophagy and inhibiting apoptosis. This article summaries advances in mechanism of treatment for spinal cord injury with lithium by reviewing and analyzing researches. Therapy combined with lithium has a good application prospect.

Objective: To prepare the nepeta oil-oxymatrine (OMT) lipidosome pro vagina thermosensitive gel, and to investigate its in vitro drug release behavior. Methods: P-407 and P-188 were used as gel matrix to prepare the gel, and gelatinization temperature was applied as a target to optimize the prescription. The OMT lipidosome was prepared based on the multiple emulsion method, and the nepeta oil-OMT lipidosome pro vagina thermosensitive gel was obtained by cold-dissolving method. The content of OMT was determined by HPLC, and in vitro release properties of nepeta oil-OMT lipidosome thermosensitive in situ gel was investigated by dialysis method. Results: After optimization, the gel prescription was finally confirmed as 18% P-407, 5% P-188, and 0.2% hydroxy-propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC). The gelatination temperature for nepeta oil-OMT lipidosome thermosensitive gel was (36.8 ± 0.2)°C, and the in vitro accumulating release ratio of sinomenine in the nepeta oil-OMT lipidosome gel system was (58.89 ± 0.34)% and (66.38 ± 0.12)% after 48 h. Conclusion: The prepared nepeta oil-OMT lipidosome thermosensitive gel has the temperature sensitivity and sustained release effect, can effectively delay the release of the drug in vagina and improve the residence time in the vagina.

Obiective To study the clinical characteristics and therapeutic measures of the antibiotic associated diarrhea (AAD) in children with severe bacterial pneumonia. Methods The information of antibiotic use history in children with severe bacterial pneumonia from January 2013 to June 2013 was retrospectively analyzed. Results The incidence rate of AAD was 70.59%in children with severe bacterial pneumonia. According to the frequency, the third-generation cephalosporins, penicillin and carbapenems were the major causes of AAD. The percentage of the age≤3 y, the duration of antibiotic usage>7 d and the number of antibiotics≥2 were significantly higher in AAD children than in non-AAD children (χ2=89.81~119.45, P<0.001). All the patients were improved after cessation or change of antibiotics. Conclusions The incidence of AAD in children with severe bacterial pneumonia is high, which is related to the age, the duration of antibiotic usage and the combination use of antibiotics.

Objective To study the change law between deficiency of kidney-Yang and stagnation of blood, and supply a study evidence for the therapy method of invigorate the kidney and promoting blood flow. Method 37 Wistar rats which were made of the model of deficiency of kidney-Yang, were randomly divided into three groups:control group, model group and treatment group. Changes including appearance, general objective sign, organ weight, microcirculation and blood rheology were recorded. Result Phenomenons, including rare fur, depression, lazy, duck stools and purpl dim in micrangium micrangium, occurred in model group. The weight of adrenal body and seminal vesicle and the contents of serum andrusol in model group were lower than those in control group. And in model group, significant increasing TC and LDL-C and decreasing HCL-C were observed. Conclusion Deficiency of kidney-Yang is associated with stagnation of blood, and the time delay of stagnation of blood can lead deficiency of kidney-Yang.

OBJECTIVETo explore the value of the application of oil red O staining in spinal cord injury (SCI) of rats.

METHODSWith simple randomization, 24 Spargue-Dawley male rats were divided into normal control group including 6, and SCI group including 18. Spinal cord was transected at spinal lever T10 to build SCI model. Six rats of SCI group were sacrificed randomly at 1, 2, 4 weeks after surgery. After the spinal cord tissue sections were made, oil red O staining methods were used to observe the changes at the end of transected spinal cord. Images were analyzed by Image-Pro Plus 6.0 and SPSS 20.0 software.

RESULTSThe oil red O staining of normal control group showed that white matter surrounded by myelin sheath was clear and obviously distinctive from grey matter. Uneven and strengthened staining in oil O was observed in grey matter of SCI group at 1, 2, 4 weeks post-SCI.

CONCLUSIONIt is a good method to label the myelin sheath in spinal cord and distinct white matter from grey matter by oil red O staining. Analysis of the images showed that lipid may become another target for drugs, which needs more researches.
