OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of acyclovir on neurological function and cytokines of children with viral menin-gitis. METHODS:Totally 70 children with viral meningitis were randomly divided into control group and observation group. All children were given routine treatment,including defervescence,reducing intracranial pressure and regulating water and electrolyte balance,etc. Based on it,the control group was treated by Ribavirin glucose injection 15 mg/kg,iv,bid;observation group was treated by Acyclovir glucose injection 5 mg/kg,iv,tid. The course for both was 7 d. The clinical data was compared,including the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum,insu-lin-like growth factor-Ⅱ(IGF-Ⅱ) and insulin like growth factor binding protein-3(IGFBP-3) in CSF before and after treatment and the incidence of adverse reactions. There were no obvious adverse reactions during the treatment. RESULTS:After treatment, the VEGF and MMP-9 in serum and the VEGF,MMP-9,IGF-Ⅱ and IGFBP-3 in CSF in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and observation group was lower than control group,with significant differences(P<0.05). There was no adverse reactions in 2 groups during the treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Compared with ribavirin,acyclovir can more obviously improve the neurological function and cytokines of children with viral meningitis,with similar safety.

Laparoscopic hepatectomy has many advantages over open surgery, including minimization of local injury, reduced systemic reactions, and faster postoperative recovery. The aim of this "Consensus" is to provide guidance and reference to surgeons who perform, or are interested in performing laparoscopic liver surgeries.

Objective To investigate nurses′ learning motivation and learning satisfaction with continued education and analyze its influencing factors. Method One hundred and seventy-nine nurses were enrolled in the survey and the general information questionnaire, education participation scale and continuing education learning satisfaction scale were used in the investigation. Results The average score by nursing education participation scale was (3.26 ± 0.59), and that of continuing education learning satisfaction scale was (2.74 ± 0.48). There were statistically significant differences in age, length of employment, professional title, marital status, employment mode between the scores by the two scales (P < 0.01). Conclusions Nurses′ learning motivation and learning satisfaction with continuing education are in the medium level. Pertinent guidance such as bringing continuing education in depth and width is suggested to improve satisfaction and motivations of nurses.

OBJECTIVE:To set up and improve the procedures and methods for the introduction of new drugs into hospital.METHODS:A supervising system on the introduction of new drugs was established and a programmed management on the introduction of new drugs was put into practice.RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:A series of measures such as establishing expert database for the evaluation of the introduction of new drugs,assuming supervision throughout the course carried out by discipline inspection committee,increasing clinical pharmacy evaluation and monitoring after the introduction of new drug,etc.have achieved good outcome in the management on the introduction of new drugs,which help promote hospital's fair,transparent and scientific introduction of new drugs.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the feasibility of application of perioperative prophylactic antibiotics in orthopedic patients. METHODS:Intervention, feasible regulations and rational medication scheme were formulated and present medical records were monitored and related information was feedback timely. Utilization of perioperative prophylactic antimicrobial was compared between before and after intervention. RESULTS: In the intervention group, hospitalization days, medical costs, cost and proportions of antibiotics were reduced; medication time and selection of antibiotics for all kinds of incision were standardized and the mean duration was shortened. The proportion of antibiotics used at 0.5～2 hours before operation was increased. The first and second generation cephalosporin was applied more and more. Combination of medication was decreased and rational use of antibiotics was significantly improved. CONCLUSION:Management of drug use is helpful to standardize the application of perioperative prophylactic antibiotics and improve clinical rational use of antibiotics.

Purpose:To evaluate the effects of intra-arterial infusion plus radiation therapy as a treatment for invasive bladder cancer. Methods:24 cases of invasive bladder cancer were treated from 1995 to 2003. All were treated with intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy plus radiation therapy. Results:CR+PR was 91.6%(22?24). In the 22 cases with indications for total cystectomy, the normal bladder function was preserved. The quality of life and the survival period improved. Conclusions:Intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy plus radiation therapy is an effective method for invasive bladder cancer, especially for the patients who can not tolerate burden or do not accept cystectomy.[

p16 tumor suppressor gene plays an important role in early diagnosis for lung cancer. The occurrence of lung cancer is closed associated with p16 gene aberrant methylation in promotor, seconed exon homozygous deletion, gene point mutation , lose of protein and mRNA expression. Also p16 is related to gene therapy and drug target therapy. This review will summarize the relationship between p16 and lung cancer.
