OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the instructions of domestic Clindamycin phosphate injection. METHODS:The contents in the instructions of domestic Clindamycin phosphate injection approved the listing from Jan. 2006 to Dec. 2015 were statistically investigated according to Regulation for Drug Package Inserts and Label Management and Regulatory Guidelines for Chemicals and Biologicals,and the items with great differences in different approval number were analyzed comparatively. RE-SULTS:The labeling rate of clinical experiment in the collected 25 instructions of domestic Clindamycin phosphate injection was 0,the labeling rate of validity was 44%,the labeling rate of use for elderly patients was 68%,the labeling rate of overdosage was 76%,and the labeling rate of others was 100%. The items with great differences were mainly special populations,usage and dos-age,adverse reactions,validity,storage conditions and precautions. CONCLUSIONS:There are great differences in instructions of domestic Clindamycin phosphate injection,some items are inaccurate,incomplete and lack of scientificity,which may result in ir-rational drug use in patients and increase the risk of medication. It is suggested that the domestic enterprises should modify and per-fect the contents of the instructions of domestic Clindamycin phosphate injections referring to the instructions of foreign brand name drug;and the drug regulatory department should strengthen the monitoring of drug instructions.

Objective To discuss the mechanism about exercise preconditioning (EP) protected myocardium by means of regulate NLRP3 inflammasome signal pathways on exhausted exercise rats. Methods The male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group (C group), no EP on exhausted exercise group (EE group), 3dEP + EE group, and 3wEP + EE group, with 12 rats in each group. In C group and EE group, the rats had not done exercise, while EE group took an exhausted swimming exercise with 3% heavy weight on tail at the end of 3 weeks; 3dEP + EE group and 3wEP + EE group exercised according to the standard of swimming for 60 minutes every day (swam 15 minutes, took a rest for 5 minutes, repeated 3 times), 6 days in a week, and were trained for 3 days and 3 weeks respectively, and took an exhausted swimming exercise on the last day. A light microscope and electron microscope were used to observe the myocardial histopathology and ultrastructure change, and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of serum interleukin (IL-1β, IL-18, IL-6), hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB), and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). The protein expressions of NLRP3 and caspase-1 were detected by Western Blot. The correlations among all the parameters were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Results Under the light microscope and electron microscope, the myocardial fiber morphological structure was normal, neatly, and no interstitial edema, muscle membrane damage or myocardial cell swellen was found in C group. In EE group, heart tissues were stained obviously uneven, a large number of myocardial fibers were fractured and messed, interstitial fibers were hyperplasiaed and edema moderately, much of myocardial cells were edema and necrosis, inflammatory cells were infiltrated, the number of average infiltration inflammatory cells was highest, mitochondria were edema seriously, part of the crest and a small number of membrane were blended together, fuzzy and crest were fractured, sarcomere were disordered; 3dEP + EE group and 3wEP + EE group heart tissues injuries were obviously alleviated, among the three groups, and the best results were in 3wEP + EE group. Compared with C group, the serum contents of IL-1β, IL-18, IL-6, hs-CRP, CK-MB, BNP and heart tissues protein expressions of NLRP3 and caspase-1 in EE group were significantly increased [IL-1β (μg/L): 18.77±1.28 vs. 12.00±1.55, IL-18 (μg/L): 236.79±15.73 vs. 150.74±7.09, IL-6 (μg/L): 59.31±9.17 vs. 34.65±2.89, hs-CRP (mg/L): 469.37±137.73 vs. 107.15±14.22, CK-MB (U/L): 15.57±0.91 vs. 7.40±0.40, BNP (ng/L): 532.08±63.44 vs. 386.96±34.77, NLRP3 protein (gray value): 0.66±0.07 vs. 0.16±0.06, caspase-1 protein (gray value): 0.96±0.08 vs. 0.48±0.06, all P < 0.01]. Compared with EE group, the above indicators in 3dEP + EE group and 3wEP + EE group were remarkably decreased, each index in 3wEP + EE group was lower than that in 3dEP + EE group except BNP [IL-1β (μg/L): 14.26±1.42 vs. 16.57±1.81, IL-18 (μg/L): 168.49±7.05 vs. 191.92±14.16, IL-6 (μg/L): 32.62±3.81 vs. 45.61±6.20, hs-CRP (mg/L): 207.06±41.68 vs. 339.56±89.65, CK-MB (U/L): 9.97±1.08 vs. 13.10±0.78, NLRP3 protein (gray value): 0.33±0.07 vs. 0.48±0.06, caspase-1 protein (gray value): 0.65±0.06 vs. 0.79±0.02, all P < 0.01; BNP (ng/L): 432.53±32.03 vs. 478.46±44.79, P > 0.05]. A positive correlation was shown among IL-1β, IL-18, IL-6, hs-CRP, BNP, CK-MB, NLRP3, and caspase-1 (all P < 0.01). Conclusions EP can reduce inflammatory reaction by regulating the NLRP3 inflammatory signal pathways, and protect the myocardial injury. The protection of the heart by long-term EP is more obvious than that of short-term EP.

Background Minocycline possesses neuroprotective effect in a variety of animal models and clinical trials of central nervous system,but whether it works on optic nerve injury remains unclear.Objective This study aimed to observe the protective effects of minocycline on retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the early stage of optic nerve crush and explore its mechanism.Methods One hundred and thirty-six clean C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal control group,normal saline solution group and minocycline group.The optic nerve crush injury models were induced in the left eyes of the mice in the normal saline solution group and minocycline group by a cross-action forceps for 3 seconds.Minocycline was injected intraperitoneally in the minocycline group firstly 45 mg/kg(0.4 ml) and followed by 22.5 mg/kg per day after 24 hours until sacrifice of the animals,and the equivalent volume of normal saline solution was injected in the same way in the normal saline solution group.The mice were euthanized at 4,7,11,14 days postoperatively and the left eyeballs were collected.Retinal flat mounts and DAPI staining was used to observe and compare the change of RGCs density among different groups and various time points.Apoptosis of mice RGCs were assessed by TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL).Real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) was used to detect the expression of CD11b mRNA in retinal microglials.Results DAPI staining in retinal flat mounts showed that the average RGCs density was (77.50±2.38)/0.01 mm2 and (70.00±2.94) /0.01 mm2 in the 4th and 7th day after modeling in the normal saline solution group,and those in the minocycline group were (88.75 ± 2.36) /0.01 mm2 and (81.00 ± 3.92)/0.01 mm2,with significant differences between the two groups (t4d =-6.708,P<0.01 ;t7d =--4.491,P<0.01).The apoptotic RGCs were (12±1)/mm and (4±1)/mm in the normal saline solution,which were significantly more than (4±1)/mm and (1±0)/mm in the minocycline group (t4 d =12.832,P<0.01 ; t7d =3.455,P =0.026).However,no significant difference was found in apoptotic RGCs in postoperative 11 days and 14 days between the normal saline solution group and the minocycline group (P =0.708,0.777).The expressing levels of CD11 b mRNA in the retinal microglials were significantly higher in the 4th and 7th day in the normal saline solution group than those in the minocycline group (t4 d =8.312,P<0.01 ;t7d=5.407,P<0.01),but were not significantly different in the 11st and 14th day after modeling between the two groups (P=0.055,0.170).Conclusions Minocycline can play a neuroprotective effect on RGCs in the early stage of optic nerve crush in mice by inhibiting microglia activation and decreasing RGCs apoptosis.
