Thirty Kunming mice were randomly divided into three groups named as dihydroartemisining roup (A) , dihydroartemisinin and azithromycin group (B) , and controlgroup (C) . Each mouse was infected intraperitoneally with 2?103 Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites. Eight hours after infection, the mice of groups A and B were treated twice a day for 4 days with 75 mg/kg of dihydroartemisinin. At 24 hours post infection, those in group B were treated once daily for 4 days with 200 mg/kg of azithromycin. At 96 hours post infection, ascites was taken from one mouse each group and the tachyzoites were collected. The ultrastructure of tachyzoites was observed by conventional transmission electron microscopy. It was found that the tachyzoites in groups A and B showed edema and enlarged, the cell membrane became indistinct, broken or damaged; fat droplets in the cytoplasm increased, and vacuoles were formed. Similar changes were not seen in the control group.

OBJECTIVE To compare two different observed data from Nov 2003 to Apr 2004 and from Jan 2005 to Dec 2005 on hospital-acquired infection in our hospital and put forward the counterned measures.METHODS The bacteria samples from clinic were cultured.RESULTS The Pseudomonas aerugonosa,Acinetobacter baumannii and Escherichia coli were common strains of bacteria according to the two years data in our hospital.They were 30.35%,18.41% and 8.46% vs 19.74%,17.11% and 14.04%,respectively.The P.aerugonosa infective constituent ratio was decreased(30.35% vs 19.74%,P

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of respiratory involvement in relapsing polychondritis(RPC). Methods The clinical data of 38 patients with respiratory (larynx, trachea and bronchus) involvement in RPC were retrospectively analyzed. Results The incidence of respiratory involvement in patients with RPC was 51.35%(38/74), and the most common symptoms were cough, wheezing, chest tightness and dyspnea. The incidences of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) increasing, C- reactive protein (CRP) increasing, fibrinogen increasing, D- dimer increased and rheumatoid factor (RF) positive in patients with respiratory involvement were significantly higher than those in patients without respiratory involvement: 47.37% (18/38) vs. 30.56% (11/36), 52.63% (20/38) vs. 33.33% (12/36), 31.58% (12/38) vs. 25.00% (9/36), 21.05% (8/38) vs. 13.89% (5/36) and 36.84%(14/38) vs. 5.56% (2/36), and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). CT was the main method to discover the respiratory involvement, and MRI could detect early cartilage inflammation lesions. Laryngoscope and bronchoscope could early detect mucosa and cartilage damage. Pathology was given priority to lymphocytes and neutrophils infiltration. Some patients had epithelium metaplasia and even canceration. Primary treatment methods were glucocorticoids combined with immunosuppressant. Airway stenosis and infection was the main factors influencing the prognosis of patients. Conclusions The respiratory involvement is not uncommon in RPC, and early CT, MRI, laryngoscope and bronchoscope examination is an important means of early diagnosis.Early glucocorticoid combined immunosuppressive therapy is the key to achieve good prognosis.
