China Pharmacy 2015;(19):2720-2722
OBJECTIVE:To prepare Compound benzocaine film and optimize the formulation. METHODS:Compound benzo-caine film was prepared with the base materials of polyving akohol-1788 (PVA) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na). With the factors of amounts of the base materials PVA and CMC-Na and the additives glycerol and polysorbate 80,and the indexes of the average of the cumulative release rates (0.25 h and 2 h) of the main drugs benzocaine (BZ) and dexamethasone acetate (DA),the orthogonal experiment was conducted to optimize the formulation,and then the optimal formulation was verified. HPLC was adopted to determine the contents of BZ and DA in the preparation for the calculation of cumulative release rates. RESULTS:The optimal formulation was as follows as PVA of 1.2 g,CMC-Na of 1.2 g,glycerol of 1.6 g, polysorbate 80 of 1.5 ml. The con-tents of BZ and DA in the single film prepared respectively were 21.607 mg(RSD=0.71%,n=6)and 4.375 mg(RSD=0.55%, n=6);the average cumulative release rates were respectively 32.7%(RSD=2.01%)and 69.25%(RSD=1.43%)at 0.25 h and 2 h. CONCLUSIONS:The method of preparing the above-mentioned film with homogeneous contents is simple.

Objective To explore the feasibility and reliability of laparoscopic assisted thyroidectomy. Methods A transversal 2.0 cm incision was made at the site 1.0 cm above the sternal notch. By using a harmonic scalpel under a 5 mm laparoscope, the thyroid glands and involving blood vessels were dealt with by either “coagulation-dissection-suction” technique or “dissection-coagulation-disconnection” technique to complete thyroid enucleation or lobectomy. Results There were 20 cases of adenoma (nodule) excision and 6 cases of unilateral lobectomy. The operation time was 80~130 min (mean, 100 min). The intraoperative blood loss was 10~40 ml (mean, 20 ml). No surgical complications occurred. Follow-up checkups in 23 cases for 1~)20 months (mean, 9 months) found a satisfactory cosmetic result and no recurrence. Conclusions Thyroidectomy under laparoscope is safe and reliable. This procedure offers a shorter incision, less invasion and better cosmetic results as compared with conventional thyroidectomy.

Objective To explore the effect of combination therapy of aminoglycosides with other antibiotics on reducing the mutant selective window of Acinetobacter baumannii. Methods Three aminoglycoside antibiotics (amikacin, tobramycin, netilmicin)and four frequently used antibiotics against Acinetobacter baumannii in clinical practice (cefoperazone-sulbactam, imipenem-cilastatin,ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin)were studied.The minimum inhibitory concentrations of these antibiotics against Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC1 9606 were determined by E-test.The mutant prevention concentrations of the four antibiotics against Acinetobacter baumannii alone or in combination with aminoglycosides were determined by agar dilution method.The selective index was calculated. The effect of aminoglycosides on mutant selective window of Acinetobacter baumannii was evaluated according to the change of selective index after combination. Results The selective index of cefoperazone-sulbactam,imipenem-cilastatin,ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin against A.baumannii ATCC19606 was 16,>32, 16 and 32.When combined with amikacin,the selective index was 1,2,4 and 4,respectively.When combined with tobramycin,the index was 2,2,8 and 8,respectively.When combined with netilmicin,the index was 2,4,8 and 16, respectively. Conclusions The mutant prevention concentration of the four antibiotics against Acinetobacter baumannii is significantly reduced when combined with any of the three aminoglycosides,which is helpful to decrease the incidence of mutants and control resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. Amikacin-based combination shows the most evident effect on reducing the mutant selective window of Acinetobacterbaumannii.
