The suprachoroidal space (SCS) is the potential space between the sclera and choroid.Drugs delivered through SCS can bypass the sclera,avoiding clearance by conjunctival and scleral blood vessels and lymphatic circulation,so that more drugs can reach the disease tissues such as choroid and retina.SCS drug delivery does not disrupt the ocular integrity,is safer than the intravitreal drug injection and more effective than trans-scleral drug delivery.In addition,SCS delivery only needs a very small volume of drug,which makes it possible to be carried out in multiple parts of the sclera,and the specific disease area can be more precisely targeted.SCS drug delivery is suitable for the treatment of choroidal and retinal diseases.However,currently SCS drug delivery is still a novel field and many aspects need to be more in-depth studied,including its safety,delivery methods,drug formulation and effectiveness.

Objective To investigate the effect of Atorvastatin Combined Naoxintong Capsule treats to cerebral infarction and carotid atherosclerosis.Methods 134 patients with cerebral infarction and carotid atherosclerosis were diagnosed by MRI or CT scan.They were randomly divided into two groups.67 cases were given atorvastatin versus aspirin received routine treatment in the control group and 67 cases were used Naoxintong capsule in observation group on the basis of routine treatment in the observation group.The blood lipid,serum high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level,neural function defect score (NIHSS),carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) were comperred before and after treatment in two groups for treated with 1 courses (6 months).Results The blood lipid had no significant difference between two groups before and after treatment (P ＜ 0.05).The IMT,NIHSS score of high sensitivity C-reactive protein levels had no significant difference in two groups before and after treatment (P ＜ 0.05).The scores of NIHSS,IMT,high sensitive C-reactive protein level respectively (10.08 ± 1.82) ％,(1.06 ± 0.13)mm,(3.89 ± 1.41) mg/L of observation group were more decreased significantly than the control group (respectively (13.92 ±2.01)％,(1.24 ±0.15)mm,(5.02 ± 1.52) mg/L after treatment.Conclusion Atorvastatin Combined Naoxintong Capsule in treatment of cerebral infarction and carotid artery gruel kind hardening shows good therapeutic effect,it is worth for clinical use.

Bovine Lactoferricin is a fragment of polypeptide which derives from N-terminal of bovine lactoferrin when it is digested by pepsin in acid condition. It has many biological functions. This study was designed to research the antibiosis spectrum of LfcinB and the key functional active site of the LfcinB by amino acid substitution and peptide sequence modification. Antimicrobial spectrum of the artificial synthesized LfcinB was determined by agar-well diffusion method. The antibacterial active sites were confirmed by minimal inhibitory concentration assays. After the Cysteine at the third site and the tryptophan at the eighth site of LfcinB were substituted by alanine, or two cysteine of LfcinB were respectively, the minimal inhibitory concentration of the three artificially modified LfcinBs was assayed. Results showed that LfcinB had a broad-spectrum of antibiosis, it could restrain various bacterials, such as Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, fungus and mycetes. LfcinB was stable to heat and pH, it could not be inactivated by many protease. The tryptophan at the eighth site and the intramolecular disulfide bond formed between two cysteins played a key role for antibiosis, as the functional active sites of LfcinB.

Proteome is defined as all proteins expressed in a cell, a tissue or an organism. Proteomics, a science of understanding the life activity law at the whole protein level, takes proteome as a research object; it is also a scientific method for quantitative detection of one or more protein populations or proteomes in a cell or tissue. Cerebral ischemic preconditioning has been one of the research hotspots in the field of neuroscience for decades. Its neuroprotec-five mechanism is associated with the changes of protein expression levels after cerebral ischemia, Therefore, proteomics has become more and more important in its mechanism study. This article mainly presents the major techniques of proteomics and their application in the studies of cerebral ischemic preconditioning.

Objective To investigate the relevant factors of hyperthyroidism complicating hyperthyroid heart disease.Method Among 48 cases,those factors including age,course of disease,condition and regular treatment were analyzed with Logistic multiple factor reg-ression analysis.Result The hyperthyroid heart disases was related with age,course of disease,condition and whether to treat regularly.Conclusions There are many factors to lead to hyperthroidism complicating hyperthyroid heart disease.It should be paid attention to in those patients with elder,longer course of disease,serious condition and no regular treatment.

Objective To investigate the state of glucocorticoid(GC) - induced osteoporosis (GIOP) and the current prevention of GIOP in patients with primary glomerulonephritis. Methods Primary glomerulonephritis patients receiving GC therapy were observed and bone mineral density (BMD) in the lumbar spine and the femoral neck were measured. Age, sex, body - mass - index, smoking history, the time and accumulative dose of GC treatment, and the state of osteoporosis prevention were investigated, the factors that influence the BMD were analyzed. Results A total of one hundred and twenty- three patients were included in this study. Among them, osteoporosis and os-teopenia were found in 82 patients (66.7%). Lumbar spine BMD decrease gradually with the increase of the accumulative dose of GC. There were statistical differences in the BMD of lumbar spine in patients with receving GC at the period of less than 1 month compared with other groups( 1-12 months) (P

OBJECTIVE:To observe the synergism and attenuation of Fermented Radix Astragali Powder(FAP)on Cyc-lophosphamide(Cy),a tumor chemotherapeutics,and to explore more economical and effective assistant chemotherapeutics.METHODS:In synergism experiments,the mice tumor models(S180 and H22 solid tumor and H22 ascitic tumor)were used to observe the effects of FAP combined with Cy on tumor control rate and survival time of mice.In attenuation experiments,the effects of FAP against toxic reactions including myelosuppression,atrophy of immune organs,and lesions on renal function induced by high dose of Cy in mice were observed.RESULTS:FAP did enhanced the the antitumor effect of Cy on S180 and H22 solid tumor,lessened Cy-induced toxic reactions such as aleucocytosis,the reduction of the nucleated cells in bone marrow and the weight loss of spleen in mice,meanwhile,it showed protective effect on renal function yet without no significant influence on hepatic function.CONCLUSION:FAP has synergistic and attenuation effects on Cy.

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.
