OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the3pharmacotherapeutic schemes for biliary tract infections by pharmacoeconomic method.METHODS:Scheme A:cefazolin+metronidazole;Scheme B:ampicillin+gentamicin+metronidazole;Scheme C:lome?floxacin injection+metronidazole.These three schemes were retrospectively analysed with cost-effectiveness analy?sis.RESULTS:Scheme C had the lowest cost-effectiveness ratio with the highest total effective rate.CONCLUSION:Scheme C is the best one.

Objective To investigate the regulation of metabolic characteristics of metronidazole and tinidazole in human bile,and provide a theoretic basis for physician selecting antibiotic rationally when biliary tract was infected.Methods Samples of hman bile were obtained by ERCP plus ENBD,contents of metronidazole and tinidazole were simultaneously measured by HPLC method in the human bile and plasma.Results 0 25 hour after metronidazole and tinidazole were given through iv,contents of two antibiotics had reached the effective bactericida.Concentraction,content of tinidazole in the bile was relatively stable,but its C max was lower as compared with the metronidazole,contents of the two antibiotics in bile were continuously higher than those of the effective bactericidal in 24 hours,and after 16 hours and re-raise was observed in contents of the two antibiotics in bile.Conclusion As maintaining a higher concentration level for long time in the bile by iv,metronidazole and tinidazole were recommended in the patients with an infection in biliary truct.

Rhoptry proteins are the major virulence factors of Toxoplasma gondii. They locate in different parts of the host cells and can affect the membrane cytoskeleton structure and active factors of the host cells so as to block the cell intrinsic de-fense mechanisms of the host and let T. gondii invade parasitize and proliferate in the host successfully. The function and ac-tion mode of rhoptry proteins reflect the pathogenic mechanism of T. gondii which holds great significance to looking for toxo-plasmosis drug targets and developing molecule vaccines. This paper reviews the research progess of the interaction between rhoptry proteins of T. gondii and host cells.

Toxoplasma gondii rhoptry proteins (ROPs) include dozens of proteins secreted by tachyzoites ,these ROPs are known to be critical for several processes such as invasion ,parasitophorous vacuole establishment ,proliferation ,egress and getting out of host immune protection .ROPs belong to the protein kinase family and have classic kinase domain ,however ,most of the members are designated as pseudokinases due to the lack of critical catalytic residues that are normally required for phos-phorylation of host signal molecules .Recent studies indicated that pseudokinases also have important functions ,such as regula-ting kinase activity by allosteric and promoting the interactions between proteins as scaffolds .In this paper ,we summarize the pseudokinases structural characteristics and some pseudokinases functions ,for the study of toxop lasma gondii and host interac-tion mechanisms ,molecular vaccines screening and drugs design .

AIM: To establish an effective and economical processing method for high quality of Calcinatum Alumen with microwave heating. METHODS: A certain amount of Alumen was placed into microwave oven and heated, and its weight was determined by electronic balance every one or five minutes. The quality (appearance, aqueous solubility, water content) of Calcined Alum by microwave was compared with those of products prepared by traditional method, far IR, and electric oven. Moreover, the stability of Calcined Alum in several kinds of package were investigated at room temperature. RESULTS: The microwave for the processing of Alumen has the advantage of rapidness, low cost, and less water content, and its product could be dissolved completely in water. CONCLUSION: Microwave is a practical technique for Alumen processing.

Objective To identify and classify six isolates of swine-originated Trichinella from China. Methods Five specific pairs of primers were synthesized based on DNA sequence of expansion segment V region and internal tran-scribed spacers (ITS1 and ITS2) of ribosomal DNA repeat from Trichinella. International reference strains of five Trich-inella species [Trichinella spiralis (T1), T. nativa (T2), T. britovi (T3), T. pseudospiralis (T4) and T. nelsoni(T7)] were used as control. Six swine Trichienlla isolates from Henan, Yunnan, Harbin, Tongjiang of Heilongjiang, Hubei and Tianjin were identified by multiplex PCR and its effecting factors of PCR amplification were observed. Results Electrophoresis results of multiplex PCR products of Trichinella larvae showed that the band (173 bp) of the six isolates was the same as T. spiralis(T1). The specific band (173 bp) was detected by multiplex PCR through amplification from issues of single T. spiralis larva, the larvae conserved in 80% ethanol for 6 months, the larvae stored in 10% formaldehyde, in 0.05% formaldehyde, 0.2% sodium azide or 0.05% merthiotate for 2 weeks,or fresh mouse muscle with larvae. Conclusion All the six swine Trichinella isolates are identified as T. spiralis (T1) by multiplex PCR.

AIM:To establish a new processing method for Borax with microwave technique. METHODS: A certain amount of Borax was placed into microwave oven and heated, and its weight loss was determined by electronic balance. The optimum processing parameters were obtained through orthogonal design. Water content of Calcined Borax was determined by far IR, microwave oven, and electric oven(at (400 ?C)),respectively. In addition, the stability of Calcined Borax was studied at room temperature. RESULTS: Calcined Borax will be available (within) 30 min with microwave treatment. The total water content can be determined by electric oven(at (400 ?C)). Calcined Borax should be powdered and packed as soosn as possible after processing. CONCLUSION: Microwave is a kind of excellent method for preparation of Calcined Borax in laboratory, with advantages of rapidness and simplicity.

Objective To develop a rapid molecular biological method for detection of the asymptomatic infection of Leish?mania. Methods Two pairs of primers named RV1?RV2 and K13A?K13B were selected to be the fast diagnosis primers since they were designed according to the conserved region of Leishmania kinetoplast DNA(kDNA)minicircles. The PCR amplifica?tion products of Leishmania donovani promastigote from Shandong Province were sequenced to compare their conservatism. The method was applied to detect 105 venous blood samples from healthy home canine and 7 venous blood samples from home canine suffered from Kala?azar in Heishui County of Sichuan Province,and 75 venous blood samples from susceptible population(no leishmaniasis symptoms)and 7 venous blood samples from patients in Xinjiang Kashi area in order to verify the feasibility and accuracy of the method. Results The size of PCR products was consistent with the expected fragments with high conservative among Leishmania species. The positive rates of 105 home canine samples and 75 susceptible population samples were 37.14%(39/105)and 82.67%(62/75)rspectively,and the positive rates of home canine suffered from Kala?azar and patients were all 100%(7/7). Conclusion This rapid diagnosis method is suitable for detection of asymptomatic infection of Leishmania in Kala?azar endemic areas of China with high sensitive and specific,thus it has bright perspective to be used.
