Objective To investigate the in-vitro antibacterial effect and sterility test of Danshen injection(DI). Methods Three kinds of in-vitro antibacterial and bacteriostatic methods were used to investigate the in-vitro antibacterial effect of DI and to establish its sterility test according to the results of the antibacterial effects. By validation test, the validity of its sterility test was evaluated. Results The results of doubling dilution test showed that the minimum bacteriostatic concentration of DI is 0.098 mg/mL, and its minimum bactericidal concentration is 1. 563 mg/mL in ethanolsulfate medium and 0.195 mg/mL in nutrient meat soup medium. Rate of recovered bacterium was much more than 80% by membrane filtration method. Conclusion DI has strong in-vitro bacteriostatie effects for staphylococcus aureus and the effectual method of its sterility test is membrane filtration method.

Objective To review the anatomic and visual outcomes of a series of patients with macular holes who underwent vitreous surgery without adjunctive therapy.Methods We performed a retrospective review of 16 patients who underwent vitrectomy, fluid-gas exchange and perflu oropropane(C3 F8) gas temponade for 14 eyes with idiopathic and 2 eyes with traumatic macular holes.Results Anatomical closure of the macular holes was achieved in 15(93%) of 16 eyes with an average follow-up of 7 months. Only one eye needed performing second surgery. Three(19%) eyes achieved postoperative visual acuity of 0.4, four (25%)eyes 0.2~0.3,and nine(56%)eyes 0.1 or worse. Conclusions Vitreous surgery without adjunctive therapy with intraocular gas tamponade and postoperative posturing is a well tolerated and effective intervention for idiopathic or some traumatic macular holes. Anatomical closure of the macular hole is associated with a significant improvement in visual acuity in most eyes.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of nape acupuncture on post-stroke dysphagia by a meta-analysis.Method Domestic literature on clinical randomized controlled trials of nape acupuncture treatment of post-stroke dysphagia published from Jun. 2004 to Jun. 2014 were obtained by a computer search ofChina National Knowledge Internet(CNKI), Wanfang Data medical information system (WF), VIP information resource system (VIP) and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM) combined with a manual search of Jinan University library journal database. Literature inclusion and exclusion criteria were established to extract data and the qualities of the included studies were assessed using a Jadad rating scale. A meta-analysis was made using the software ReviewManager 5.2.ResultA total of 17 articles were included with 1158 patients. The results of meta-analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the total efficacy rate [OR=3.99, 95%CI(2.83, 5.63),P<0.00001] and the cure rate[OR=2.67, 95%CI(2.03, 3.53),P<0.00001] between the nape acupuncture and control groups.ConclusionNape acupuncture has clinically a good therapeutic effect on post-stroke dysphagia. Multi-center, large-sample and high-quality studies are still needed for validation because the qualities of the included articles are lower, which is one of the factors influencing the assessment.

ObjectiveTo investigate the initial symptoms, onset time and predisposing factors of acute cerebral haemorrhage in order to more effectively prevent cerebral haemorrhage. Methods 728 cases with acute cerebral haemorrhage were collected in recent 8 years. The initial symptoms,onset time and predisposing factors of all the patients were investigated. ResultsAcute cerebral haemorrhage in 582 caces (79.9%) occurred at time between 6am and 18pm and 146 cases (20%) at night. The main predisposing causes of acute cerebral haemorrhage were the playing of chess, cards and mahjong (16.1%), quarrels (12.8%), overwork (11.7%), alcoholism (7.2%) and so on. The most common initial symptom was hemianesthesia, accounting for 16.2%, others were vertigo (13.0%), headache ( 11.4%), amaurosis fugax ( 9.3%), speech ambiguity ( 8.6%) and transitory visual disturbance (7.9%).ConclusionsThe preventive measures of cerebral haemorrhage should be focused on daytime, especially in the morning. Sixteen locations where the cerebral haemorrhage is prone to happen should be paid more attention to by the patients with hypertension and the medical staff. Thirteen symptoms,such as hemianesthesia and vertigo,are the aurae of cerebral haemorrhage.

Objective To explore the nursing method for the prevention and treatment of vaginal adhesions in patients treated with full-dose radiotherapy for cervical cancer. Methods From 2015 to 2016, 80 cervical cancer patients who received radiotherapy were treated with domestic vaginal washing, vaginal local use of"Fufangbao", infection control, diet and sexual rehabilitation guidance, and so on, and the nursing outcome was evaluated. Results Of the 80 patients, 6 were lost during follow-up, resulting in a follow-up rate of 925%. Ten, five, and three patients were found to have grade 1, 2, and 3 vaginal toxicity, respectively. The patients with grade 1 vaginal toxicity were not treated with special treatment and were asked to do more vaginal washing. The patients with grade 2 and 3 vaginal toxicity were treated with daily vaginal washing and"Fufangbao" for repairing the vagina;vaginal adhesions disappeared or improved 3 months later. The patients with no vaginal adhesions had regular sexual intercourse and thus had improved quality of life. Conclusions Effective clinical nursing can reduce the incidence of vaginal adhesions and stenosis, improve patients' quality of life, and promote the harmony of family.

Objective To explore the outcome for kidney transplant recipients who suffered from cancers after transplantation. Methods De novo cancer data in 59 transplant recipients were collected. 6 cases of native renal cell carcinomas, 4 cases of native pelvo-ureteral carcinomas, 14 cases of bladder cancers, 7 cases of prostate cancers, 9 cases of hepatocellular carcinomas, 3 cases of gastric carcinomas, 2 cases of colon cancers, 1 case of pancreatic cancer, 4 cases of breast cancers, 3 cases of cervical cancers, 2 cases of skin cancers, 2 cases of non-small cell lung cancers, 1 case of thyroid cancer and 1 case of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease. These data were compared with those from 59 patients in general population with the same gender, age and tumor stage. Results Overall incidence rate for de novo malignancy post-transplantation was 1. 9 % (59/3150). Urinary cancers were the most common. Compared to the general population, the overall survival was significantly worsened in transplant recipients (P<0. 01), and 5-year survival rate in transplantation group and control group was 30 % vs 75 0 %. Multivariate analyses demonstrated cancer stage to he a negative risk factor for survival of transplant recipients with de novo cancer, and surgery and functioning graft to be the positive survival predictors. Conclusion Transplant recipients experience worse outcomes than the general population for these cancers. These data suggest that cancers in transplant recipients are more aggressive biologically at the time of diagnosis.

The protective effect and mechanism of diazepam on ischemia neurons during cerebral ischemia and reperfusion were studied. Sixty-three Wistar rats were divided randomly into nine groups: control group (n=7), ischemia (is) groups including subgroups of is3h, is3-h/rep1-h, is3-h/rep2-h, is3-h/rep3-h(n=7 in each group), diazepam treated groups (10 mg/kg, i.p.), including subgroups of is3-h, is3-h/rep1-h, is3-h/rep2-h, is3-h/rep3-h (n=7 in each group) with Zea longa's animal model of middle cerebral artery occlusion. The comparison between the ischemia group and diazepam-treated group showed that diazepam could obviously decrease the production of glutamate, asparate, MDA and increase the synthesis and release of GABA, SOD and GSH-PX. It was concluded that diazepam exerted its protective effects on neurons through complex mechanisms of regulating the synthesis and release of excitotary/inhibitory amino acids and free radicals.
