Objective To assess the influence of atrial fibrillation on post-thrombolytic hemorrhagic transformation and functional prognosis in acute ischemic stroke patients within different time window.Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical and imaging data of patients of acute ischemic stroke with intravenous thrombolysis admitted from June 2009 to October 2013.According to onset-to-needle time,we divided patients into 3 groups and then assessed the effect of the comorbidity with atrial fibrillation on the occurrence of hemorrhagic transformation and favorable outcome (defined as modified Rankin Scale score≤2 at 90 days) after thrombolysis within different time window.Results A total of 345 patients were included in this study,among whom 101 (29.3%) were treated by intravenous thrombolysis within 3.0 h (≤3.0 h),157(45.5%) >3.0 h and≤4.5 h,87(25.2%) over 4.5 h(>4.5 h).Atrial fibrillation was observed in 50.5% (51/101) patients in ≤3.0 h group,37.6% (59/157) in >3.0 h and≤4.5 h group and 40.2% (35/87) in > 4.5 h group (x2 =4.362,P =0.113).There were no statistically significant differences among these three groups about the rate of hemorrhagic transformation (hemorrhagic infarction:16.8% (17/101),22.3% (35/157),20.7% (18/87),and parenchymal hematoma:5.0% (5/101),10.2% (16/157),10.3% (9/87),x2 =4.278,P =0.370) and favorable outcome (51.5% (52/101),53.5% (84/ 157),47.1% (41/87),x2 =0.913,P =0.633).Multivariate analysis demonstrated that atrial fibrillation was associated with hemorrhagic infarction for patients in > 4.5 h group (OR =3.637,95% CI 1.101-12.013,P =0.034),and the presence of atrial fibrillation independently predicted parenchymal hematoma for patients in > 3.0 h and ≤4.5 h group (OR =3.757,95% CI 1.133-12.457,P =0.030).There was no significant association between atrial fibrillation and favorable outcome at 90 days.Conclusions The presence of atrial fibrillation is not associated with the prognosis in thrombolytic patients.However,it enhanced the risk of parenchymal hematoma if patients were treated within the time window > 3.0 h and ≤4.5h.

OBJECTIVE: To valuate the antibiotic effects in vitro of Pazufloxacin combined with Cefoperazone/Sulbactam against 90 common pathogenic bacteria from hospital acquired infection. METHODS: The protocol was designed by checkerboard method. The MIC of two antibiotics alone or in combination against 90 strains (including 30 staphylococcus aureus, 30 Escherichia colis, 30 Pseudomonas aeruginosas) were detected by broth dilution method and the FIC index was calculated according to MIC values. RESULTS: The MIC of Pazufloxacin combined with cefoperazone/sulbactam against 90 strains was reduced significantly. The percentage of the FIC index maintained at less than 0.5, 0.5~1, 1~2, above 2 were 60.7%~80.0%, 20.0%~33.3%, 3.3%~6.6%, and 0% respectively. CONCLUSION: The antibiotic activity of Pazufloxacin combined with cefoperazone/sulbactam against 90 common iatrogenic strains from hospital acquired infection was enhanced significantly. Their antibacterial action in vitro was characterized by synergism and additive action instead of antagonistic effect.

Objective The article was to speed up the dissolution rate of poorly soluble drugs, reduce the configuration time and improve the allocative efficiency by analysis on factors influencing dissolution and adoption of proper allocative approaches accord-ing to different characteristics of insaluble drugs. Methods 5 insaluable drugs were chosen for the study, which were ornithine as-partate, mezlocillin sodium and sulbactam sodium, teicoplanin, omeprazole sodium injection and imipenem and cilastatin sodium.The control group were allocated by routine configuration approach, while the experiment group were improved by increasing the amount of solvent, loosing the powder inside the bottle before configuration, reducing the bubble, adopting special solvent and increasing the dis-solution temperature.Observation and comparative experiment were made on two groups along with the timing from configuration to com-plete dissolution into clear transparent liquid. Results As to the average complete dissolution time of 5 drugs, significant difference was found between two groups([42±5]s vs [246±35]s, [3±1]min vs [30±3]min, [5±1]min vs [10±3]min, [5±3]min vs [10± 5]min, [2±1]min vs [10±1]min, P<0.05).Compared with the control group, the dissolution time of 5 drugs was cut down by 83%, 90%, 50%, 50%, 80%in experiment group. Conclusion Appropriate increase of solvent, loose powder, bubble reduction, special solvent and increased solution temperature contribute to shortening the dissolution time of insoluble drugs and improving the configura-tion efficiency of pharmacy intravenous admixture.

Objective To explore the prognostic effect of fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging vascular hyperintensity (FVH)on intravenous thrombolysis of acute ischemic stroke.Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical and imaging data of intravenous thrombolytic patients with acute anterior circulation infarction admitted from May 2009 to December 2013.The presence of FVH was evaluated,and its associations with reperfusion and clinical outcome after thrombolysis were assessed.Results Ninety-three patients were analyzed.FVH was detectable in 55 (59.1%) cases.Patients with FVH had higher NIHSS scores (11.8 ± 6.0 vs 7.2 ± 4.5,P < 0.01),larger initial DWI lesions (5.5 ml vs 2.0 ml,Z =-3.030,P=0.002) and perfusion lesions (42.0 ml vs 3.0 ml,Z=-6.104,P =0.005),compared with those without FVH.The history of hyperlipidemia (OR =0.264,95% CI 0.07-0.90,P =0.048) and proximal large vessel occlusion(OR =48.874,95% CI 11.6-205.924,P < 0.01) were independently associated with the presence of FVH.The presence of FVH independently predicted the poor neurological outcome at 3 months (OR =4.143,95 % CI 1.440-11.919,P =0.008).However,early reperfusion was associated with favorable outcome in patients with FVH after intravenous thrombolysis (OR =8.500,95% CI 1.964-36.790,P =0.004).Conclusions The presence of FVH is associated with proximal large vessel occlusion,which predicts poor outcome in patients with intravenous thrombolysis.However,early reperfusion among patients with FVH can improve the outcome.
