Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2017;37(9):146-147
Objective To investigate the effect of edaravone and early rehabilitation on neurological deficit in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods Fifty patients with acute cerebral infarction were enrolled in this study. Fifty patients were grouped using the random number table method as the subject of this study. A single group of 25 patients treated with edaravone treatment, combined group of 25 patients with edaravone and early rehabilitation treatment, compared the two groups of patients with acute cerebral infarction neurological deficit score, quality of life score and clinical efficacy. Results The scores of neurological deficits after treatment were (14.24 ± 3.42), which were significantly lower than those in the single group (P<0.05). The quality of life scores of the patients in the combined group were (104.24 ± 3.25) The total effective rate was 92.00% in the combined group, which was significantly higher than that in the single group (64.00%, P<0.05). Conclusion Edaravone and early rehabilitation therapy in patients with acute cerebral infarction can significantly improve the neurological function of patients, the effect is more significant.

BACKGROUND:Now it has cooperation and facilitative effete between myogenic regulatory factors through a long time study. So, gene therapy of double genes of Myod1 and Myog can obtain better effect, and can provide a new way for preventing denervated skeletal muscle atrophy.
OBJECTIVE:To construct eukaryotic co-expression vector carrying Myod1 and Myog genes.
METHODS:Ful-length Myod1 gene and Myog gene cDNA were amplified by reverse transcription PCR, and then inserted into pVAX1 vector after digested to establish the recombined Myod1 and Myog eukaryotic co-expression vector pVAX1-Myod1-IRES2-Myog-IRES2-EGFP, and then identified with gene sequencing. The in vitro cultured 3T3 cel s were transfected with pVAX1-Myod1-IRES2-Myog-IRES2-EGFP, and the expressions of Myod1 and Myog genes in the 3T3 cel s were detected with western blot assay in order to identify whether the 3T3 cel s could express the target protein correctly.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The sequencing results showed that the sequence length and base sequence of Myod1 and Myog cDNA in eukaryotic co-expression vector pVAX1-Myod1-IRES2-Myog-IRES2-EGFP were identical with the reported sequences. Myod1 and Myog protein band expressions were detected in 3T3 cel s by western blot after transient transfection. The pVAX1-Myod1-IRES2-Myog-IRES2-EGFP, a eukaryotic co-expression vector of Myod1 gene and Myog gene is successful y constructed.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of Candida parapsilosis septicemia of prematurity and provide a reference for both diagnosis and treatment.Methods The clinical data of 9 premature suffering with candida parapsilosis septicemia were retrospectively analyzed.Results All 9 cases (0.73 percent in the corresponding period) were premature infants with gestational age less than 37 weeks.The average weight of the patients was (1 621.00 ±372.22) g,among which 5 cases were of very low birth weight and 4 cases were of low birth weight.The average time of the fungi infection was (22.00 ± 7.58) d.Of the 9 cases,7 cases had been treated with broad spectrum antibiotics previously,9 cases were given nutrition intravenously,7 cases were treated with mechanical ventilation,7 cases adopted peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC) and 1 case received surgery.The symptoms included poor response,unstable serum oxygen saturation,jaundice,poor perfusion,abdominal distention,fever and no bodyweight increase.Laboratory tests results presented platelet decrease(6 cases),C-reaction protein increase (6 cases),high plasma (1-3)-β-D glucan level(9 cases) and white blood cells in the normal range(6 cases).All 9 infants recovered after receiving fluconazole and supporting treatment.Two cases failed to complete the hospital treatment but after discharge from hospital continued treatment by administering prescribed medicine,and through regular follow-up was done,the prognosis of all cases turned out to be good,and no case died.Conclusions Gestational age,birth weight,application of broad spectrum antibiotics,mechanical ventilation and peripherally inserted central catheter are common high risk factors of Candida parapsilosis septicemia in premature infants.The disease was featured with normal white blood cell,low platelet,high serum levels of C-reaction protein and (1-3)-β-D glucan.Anti-fungi therapy with fluconazole may be a good choice for it.

Objective To perform modification study of cyanoacrylate (CA) medical adhesive and to select the optimal mo-difying material and the best ratio.Methods Carboxylic multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), hydrophobic nano-silica, nitrile rubber, epoxy resin and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) were used to modify 5% triclosan/cyanoacrylate antimicrobial adhesive respectively. The bond strength, toughness and viscosity of the modified adhesive were examined in different concentrations.Results 0.064% MWCNTs-COOH, 6% nano-silica, 4% nitrile rubber and 6.4% epoxy resin all had good effects in strength modification. The bond strength were (14.71±1.48)MPa, (14.03±1.92)MPa, (14.6±1.78)MPa and (14.05±1.46)MPa respectively. 8% nano-silica had the lowest Tg of (1.1±0.24)℃ and the strongest viscosity of (15 536.68±28.4)cP. When the nano-silica concentration was 8%, the compound was very viscous and sticky. When the antimicrobial adhesive modified with 6% nano-silica, the bond strength was (14.03±1.92)MPa, the Tg was (3.6±0.68)℃, and the viscosity was (5 278.87±31.68)cP.Conclusion 6% nano-silica is the best modifying material, and has the optimal effect of modification.

Objective To evaluate the effect of preoperative anxiety on the dosage of opioid drugs in perioperative period.Methods Fourty female patients who aged 18-65 years,ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ, undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy were enrolled during November 2014 to August 2015.Demo-graphic characteristics of the patients were recorded.The patients were separated into two groups ac-cording to their state anxiety inventory (SAI).The patients with SAI>37 score were included in the high-anxious patients group (group H,n=22)while the other patients with SAI≤37 were enrolled in the low-anxious patients group (group L,n=18).All patients received the SAI test at the day be-fore surgery.The anesthesia time,intraoperative remifentanil consumption,duration of the first time giving analgesia after surgery,consumption of sufentanil at 1(T1 ),2(T2 ),4(T3 ),6(T4 ),24(T5 ) and 48 hours(T6 )after operation were recorded.Visual analogue scale (VAS)scores,the times of pressing PCIA and the side effects of opioid 48 h after the surgery were recorded.Results In group H, the time for first dose of opioid after surgery was significantly shorter than group L (P <0.05).The con-sumption of sufentanil in group H was significantly more than group L at T1-T6 (P <0.05).The times of pressing PCIA at the T5 time point after operation in group H was more than group L (P<0.05).No sta-tistically difference was found in the incidence of nausea or vomit between the two groups.There were no re-spiratory depression, pruritus or urinary retention in all patients.Conclusion Patients with high preoperative anxiety level perceive needed more opioids in postoperative pain control.
