Sulfonylureas are one of the major oral drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.Studies in recent years have shown that such drugs have the effect of independent of reducing blood sugar on ischemic stroke.This effect is mainly associated with the combination of sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1) to regulate of ATP-sensitive non-selective cation channels.

Objective To assess clinical efficacy and safety of linezolid in treating postoperative intracranial infec-tion after neurosurgery operation,and provide clinical basis for the treatment of postoperative intracranial infection. Methods From January 2011 to December 2012,clinical data of 51 neurosurgery patients receiving linezolid for trea-ting postoperative intracranial infection were collected,changes in symptoms,temperature,cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)bacterial culture,as well as white blood cell (WBC)count,protein and glucose in CSF before and after therapy were compared,clinical efficacy and safety of linezolid in the treatment of postoperative intracranial infection were assessed based on the diagnostic criteria for intracranial infection.Results After linezolid treatment,30 cases of postoperative intracranial infection were cured,and linezolid was effective in 1 2 cases,improved in 5 cases,and ineffective in 4 cases,total effective rate was 92.16%.Of 47 cases with effective therapy,the mean therapy day were 12.5 d (2-27 d),11 of whom isolated gram-positive bacteria from CSF before therapy,and CSF culture were all negative after linezolid therapy.Conclusion Linezolid is effective for treating intracranial infection caused by Staphylococci,Enterococci and other gram-positive bacteria which failed to response to vancomycin therapy.

OBJECTIVE To realize the status and the impact factors of nosocomial infection among Jizheng patients.METHODS To investigate 562 former inpatients suffered from Jizheng in hospital from Jan 2004 to Dec 2005.RESULTS The incidence rates of nosocomial infection that calculated by the patients and the cases were 14.59% and 16.55%,respectively.Infection mostly occurred on the 22nd day in hospital on average.The main infection sites were lower respiratory tract(48.78%),urinary tract(15.85%),and alimentary tract(12.20%).The most risk factor was aging.CONCLUSIONS The high incidence of nosocomial infection is due to various factors.We should take measures respectively aiming at different factors to reduce the occurrence of nosocomial infection.

Objective To investigate the mycelia growth of the mutant strain Paecilomyces bainier sp229-7 and it's biotransformation from ginsenoside Rb1 to Rd. Methods The substrate was biotransformed by the mutant in different conditions, and the products were analyzed by HPLC. Results The period of vigorous growth of the mutant was 12-48 h. The optimal transformation temperature range was from 27 ℃ to 32 ℃. The best time for adding substrate was 36 h after inoculation and the substrate (Rb1 20 mg/mL) was specifically transformed into ginsenoside Rd. The transformation process was terminated at 72 h. The ginsenoside Rb1 could be transformed to Rd by all of mycelia, crude enzymes and external enzymes. Conclusions Compared with the reference, the mutant of Paecilomyces bainier sp229-7 growth is quicker and the transformation efficiency has been greatly improved. The reaction time can be shortened to 3 days, and the amount of substrate increased at least 20 times.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of face scar deformity by small-capacity tissue expansion. Methods A small-capacity expander of 10~100 ml was implanted into the hypoderm, and then regular affusion was made with injection pot outside or inside. After expanding for four weeks to eight weeks, the expander was removed and the removing wound surface of scar was repaired with flap. Results After clinical application in 32 cases, there were complications such as infection and expander's exposure occurred in two cases, but the final result was good after suitable treatment. All cases were satisfied with unclear scar after 6 to 36 months’ follow-up. Conclusions Positive cosmetic effect can be received with small-capacity tissue expansion.

Objective To summarize overlapping tissue expansion of neck without platysma in repairing maxillofacial and neck scar contracture deformity.Methods Two expanders were buried in the same soft tissue pocket superficially to the platysma in an overlapping pattern,water injection were on schedule,and secondary operation was performed after 4 to 6 weeks.Results 16 cases of maxillofacial and neck scar contracture deformities were treated with overlapping tissue expansion of neck without platysma since 2004.Good results were achieved except one case of expander exposure,but the final resuit was good after suitable treatment.Conclusion The overlapping tissue expansion technique can provide much more expanded tissue and reduce complications compared with the traditional expansion technique,especially using overlapping tissue expansion of neck without platysma for repairing the defects at the maxillofacial and cervical region.

Comparing the Psychiatry teaching among Jinan University,Sum-Yan-San University and The Chinese University of Hong Kong,we found the time,contents and methods of teaching were significantly different among them,so we suggested that Jinan University should reconstruct teaching mode,raise teaching time,optimize teaching contents,change practice teaching methods and examination way in psychiatry teaching.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of percutaneous trasluminal angioplasty (PTA) for ischemic lesions of below-the-knee(BTK) arteries in elderly patients.Methods Clinical data of 56 elderly patients(the PTA group) with ischemic lesions of BTK arteries who had received PTA treatment were retrospectively analyzed.The ankle brachial index (ABI) and the skin temperature of the affected foot were recorded and analyzed before and after treatment.The clinical effects were compared with those of conservative treatment 31 patients(the control group) had received during the same period.Results PTA was successfully performed in all of the 56 cases.The skin temperature rose,claudication disappeared or the claudication distance increased,rest pain disappeared or lessened,and no severe complications or death occurred in the PTA group.ABI increased from (0.41±0.12) before treatment to(0.63±0.21),(0.65±0.19),(0.67± 0.22),(0.61±0.20),and (0.58±0.18) at 24 hours,1,3,6 and 12 months after treatment,respectively.The skin temperature increased from(28.4±2.1)℃ before treatment to(35.4±2.4)℃,(35.6±2.1)℃,(35.8±2.4)℃,(34.6±2.1)℃ and(34.3±2)℃ at 24 hours,1,3,6 and 12 months after treatment,respectively.There were statistically significant differences in ABI and the skin temperature between before treatment and any time point after treatment(all P＜0.05) and between the PTA group and the control group at any time point after treatment(all P＜0.05).Conclusions PTA is a safe and effective treatment for ischemic lesions of BTK arteries in elderly patients.

Objective: To explore the peri-operative treatment and 3 years post-operative outcome in patients with rheumatic mitral valve stenosis and small left ventricle. Methods: A total of 152 patients with rheumatic mitral valve stenosis and severe pulmonary hypertension were studied. According to left ventricular end diastolic index (LVEDI) value, the patients were divided into 2 groups: Small left ventricle (Small) group, the patients with LVEDI value≤60 mm, n=67 and Non-small left ventricle (Non-small) group, the patients with LVEDI value>60 mm,n=85. Peri-operative condition and follow-up parameters were compared between 2 groups. Results: Compared with Non-small group, Small group had increased pre-operative CVP, SPAP and decreased LVEDV, LVEDVI and RVEF at admission, all P<0.05. All patients had liver damage at admission, the indexes (except alkaline phosphatase) were higher in Small group than Non-small group, and the function was recovered prior operation by proper treatment. The immediate post-operative SPAP in Small group and Non-small group were (67.3.1±23.4) mmHg and (61.3±26.9) mmHg, P>0.05. There were 52 severe pulmonary hypertension patients received iloprost inhalation, their SPAP was decreased than non-inhalation patients at incision closing; SPAP was lower in Small group inhalation patients than Non-small group inhalation patients, all P<0.05. Post-operative LVEDVI was lower and SPAP was higher in Small group than Non-small group. At 3 years post-operation, LVEDVI, RVEF increased, NYHA classification decreased and 6MWT prolonged in both groups; while LVEDVI was lower and 6MWT was shorter in Small group than Non-small group, P<0.05. The median survival time at (3.7±1.6) years post-operation was shorter in Small group than Non-small group,P<0.05, while the mortality was similar between 2 groups (2.6% vs 2.0%),P>0.05. Conclusion: The patients with mitral valve stenosis and small left ventricle had the worse pre-operative condition and higher risk in surgery; peri-operative treatment could improve their cardiac and liver function, but they still had the shorter post-operative median survival time.
