China Pharmacy 2007;0(32):-
OBJECTIVE:To study the incidence,types,constitution ratio of adverse drug reactions(ADR)induced by antibiotics and the correlation factors of the ADR so as to promote rational drug use in our hospital.METHODS:The literature about antibiotics-induced ADR from Jan.1980 to May 2008 retrieved from CNKI,Wanfang Data and VIP full-text data base was analyzed quantitatively by dividing the literature into different categories:case study or typical case reports,clinical trial or observational reports,and regional ADR monitoring data base or hospital ADR analytical reports.RESULTS:There were 2 310 case studies or typical case reports and in which 3 794 ADR cases were reported,which manifested chiefly as allergic reaction(35.58%),nervous system reaction(17.82%)and disulfiram-like reaction(in 546 cases).928 papers were literature about clinical trial or observational reports and in which 9 434 ADR cases were reported and the average ADR incidence was 9.14%,with anti-tuberculosis drugs showing the highest proportion(25.57%),followed by nitromidazole(24.29%)and carbapenem antibiotics(23.52%);and the ADR manifested chiefly as gastrointestinal tract reaction and allergic reaction,and there were ADR cases manifested as pathoglycemia induced by quinolones.There were 300 papers were literature about regional ADR monitoring data base or hospital ADR analytical reports,in which almost all the major variety of antibiotics were involved,leading the list in terms of ADR cases were quinolones,penicillins and cephalosporins.CONCLUSION:Great importance should be attached to the rational use of antibiotics so as to avoid or reduce ADR incidence and ensure safe and effective use of antibiotics in patients.

Objective To study the association of insulin resistance ( IR ) with aortic compliance impairment in patients with essential hypertension (EH). Methods Thirty-five patients with EH and 35 healthy control subjects were enrolled. The two groups were matched by sex, age and weight Blood pressure was measured and high resolution color Doppler examination was performed. Pressure-strain elastic modulus ( EP) and stiff index were calculated to reflect the change of aortic compliance in all subjects. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) was assayed with oxidase technique, serum fasting insulin ( Fins) was assayed with chemoluminescent technique, Calculate insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) was calculated using FPG and FINS. Results In the EH group, Fins, HOMA-IR and EP of ascending aorta were ( 10. 15 ± 1.03) mU /L, 2. 21 ± 0. 68, (250. 79 ± 85. 52 ) kN/m2, respectively,and the stiff index( β) was 15. 60 ±7. 55. In the control group, Fins,HOMA-IR, EP and stiff index β were (6. 80 ± 3. 05) mU/L, 1. 48 ± 0. 16, (183. 90 ± 64. 65 ) kN/m2 and 10. 86 ± 4. 92, respectively. There were significant difference on these above mentioned indices between the two groups (P < 0. 05 ). In the EH group, HOMA-IR were positively correlated with the ascending aorta EP and stiff index β ( r = 0.558 and 0.601 respectively, P < 0. 05 ). Conclusions Aortic compliance impairment and IR are found in patients with EH. There is significant association of IR with aortic compliance impairment Hyperinsulinemia related to insulin resistance might be an important influential factor which promote large artery remodeling in patients with EH.

Varicella-zoster (chickenpox) infection is a common
infectious disease and generally considered to be selflimiting. However, severe bacterial complications associated with the disease have been reported. We describe a case of varicella-zoster infection with secondary Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, preseptal orbital cellulitis and extensive facial abscesses. She was aggressively treated with intravenous antibiotics and repeated surgical drainage, and eventually made good recovery.

Objective To explore the change of opioid peptide content such as ?-endorphin(?-EP), dynorphinA_ 1-13(DynA_ 1-13) in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) of patients with cerebral hemorrhage, and the interference effect of Naloxone on them.Methods 60 patients with cerebral hemorrhage were randomly divided into Naloxone-treated group and control group. Conventional treatment was used in both groups, then Naloxone-treated group intravenous drip of Naloxone, each 3.0 mg, once a day, for 14 d. The concentrations of ?-EP, DynA_ 1-13 of the patients were measured with radioimmunoassay (RIA) during the acute stage before treatment and at 7th, 14th day after treatment compared with those of normal group (the normal people and the patients were treated by operations). Changes of ?-EP and DynA_ 1-13 in bleeding part and amount of bleeding were analyzed. The scores of GCS and NDS before and after treatment were examined at the same time.Results (1) The content of ?-EP, DynA_ 1-13 in plasma and CSF of patients with cerebral hemorrhage were obviously higher since acute stage than those of the normal group(all P

To explore the applicability of interleukin 8(IL 8)to determination of wound age in the incised and stabbed human skin samples,an immunohistochemical study on the temporal expression of IL 8 was performed on 52 human skin wounds at different posttraumatic intervals.Expression of IL 8 was detectable in polymorphonuclear cells(PMNs)in the wound specimens aged 4h.In the wound specimens aged from 12~24h after injury,IL 8 was identified in a large number of infiltrating PMNs and part of mononuclear cells(MNCs).Afterwards,the MNCs and fibroblastic cells(FBCs)accounted in the most part of the IL 8 positive cells.Morphometrically,the ratio of the number of the IL 8 stained PMNs,MNCs and FBCs to total number of the cells in the wounds was evaluated and calculated.The ratio of the IL 8 positive cells was low in the wound specimens aged 4 and 6h(16 0?10 1%),and maximized in the wound specimens aged between 1 and 4 days(59 6%?8 7%).Thereafter,the ratio decreased and minimized in the specimens aged from 19 to 21 days(27 5?5 9%).The results suggest that IL 8 can be used as a marker for the wound age determination in both incised and stabbed human skin.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy,operative essentials and indications of hybrid spinal fusion surgery for cervical spondylotic myelopathy.Methods From August 2008 to December 2011,thirty-eight patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy underwent hybrid spinal fusion surgery in our hospital.There were 27 males and 11 females,aged from 33 to 70 years (average,51 years).A total of 86 segments were treated (fusion 48 vs.non-fusion 38).Twenty-eight patients underwent a two-level surgery,and ten patients received a three-level surgery.The Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score and Visual analogue scale (VAS) were used to evaluate pre-and post-operative neurological function and pain,respectively.The pre-and post-operative range of motion of the cervical spine was measured according to Xrays.Moreover,the surgical complications were recorded and analyzed.Results Thirty-seven patients were followed up for 15 to 55 months (average,29.1 months).The improvement of neurological function was obtained in 36 patients.The JOA score was improved from preoperative 10.5±1.57 to 14.3±1.97 at final follow-up,with an improvement rate of 58.46%,and the results were excellent in 16 cases,fair in 20 cases and poor in 1 case.The VAS was improved from preoperative 7.3±1.04 to 3.2±1.41 at final follow-up.The Cobb angle changed from preoperative 25°±3.21°to 20°±2.56°at final follow-up.After operation,the neurological function was not restored in 1 case; hoarseness and bucking occurred in 2 cases; sore throat occurred in 22 cases; anterior displacement of prosthesis (PCM) occurred in 3 cases.Other patients had no complications,such as displacement,loosening and heterotopic ossification.Conclusion In hybrid spinal fusion surgery,the lesions segments are decompressed fully,the severely degenerative segments are fused,and the motion of the non-fusion segments is reserved.As a result,not only the stability of the cervical spine is achieved,but also an obvious improvement of symptoms and a satisfactory short-term efficacy can be obtained.Therefore,this method is an alternative procedure for cervical spondylosis myelopathy.
