Objective To observe the preventive effect of epidural injection with low - dose of ketamine on postanesthesia shivering(PAS) undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ～Ⅱ grade patients aged 35 ～ 72 years undergoing PCNL were randomly divided into kctamine group (n = 30, Epidural injection of 0.5mg/kg of ketamine) ,Control group(n = 30, Epidural injection of 10ml saline). The rate of shivering was observed and recorded during operation,and blood pressure and respiration were measured. Results The rate of shivering in ketamine group(10%) was significantly lower than that in control group(46.7%, P ＜ 0.05) ,There were no significant differences of blood pressure and respiration between two groups (P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion Epidural injection 0.5 mg/kg of ketamine on postanesthesia can prevent shivering in PCNL.

OBJECTIVE:To compare the efficacy and safety of Pingxiao capsule and Shendan Sanjie capsule combined with CP program in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in stage Ⅳ. METHODS:132 NSCLC patients in stage Ⅳwere randomly divided into CP group,CP+Pingxiao group and CP+Shendan Sanjie group. CP group was treated with CP program;based on it,CP+Pingxiao group was orally treated with 6 Pingxiao capsules,3 times a day;CP+Shendan Sanjie group was orally treated with 6 Shendan Sanjie capsules,3 times a day. 21 d was a treatment period,and the efficacy was evaluated after 2 treat-ment periods,improvement of life quality,progression-free survival,1-year survival rate and toxicity reactions were observed. RE-SULTS:The recent effective rate,disease control rate,total improvement rate of life quality,progression-free survival and 1-year survival rate in CP+Pingxiao group and CP+Shendan Sanjie group were significantly higher than CP group,incidences of leukope-nia,thrombocytopenia,gastrointestinal tract and decreased hemoglobin were significantly lower than CP group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);however,there was no significant difference between CP+Pingxiao group and CP+Shendan Sanjie group(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Both Pingxiao capsule and Shendan Sanjie capsule can be combined with CP program in the treatment of NSCLC in stageⅣ,with good safety.

Children with hematological diseases usually accompanied by low autoimmune function,and repeated chemotherapy exacerbated the damage to their immune system and hematopoietic function.Those lead to high incidence of nosocomial infection,most of infection were caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria and fungi.The major infections in hematological children are the following:multi-drug resistant Escherichia coli/Klebsiella pneumonia bacteria;multi-drug resistance Pseudomonas and Acinetobacte;Methicillin-resistant coagulase negative Staphylococcus and aureus;multi-drug resistance Enterococcus faecium.This review presents updated treatment strategies from the published clinical literature and provides recommendations for clinical treatment of multi-drug resistant bacteria in children with hematonosis.

Objective To investigate the effect and safety of long-term use of atorvastatin on carotid atherosclerosis in advanced elderly patients.Methods Totally 61 elderly patients with carotid atherosclerosis were permitted into study.They were treated with atorvastatin (20 mg/d) and followed-up for five years.The carotid atherosclerosis parameter and the serum levels of TC,TG,LDL-C,HDL-C,fasting blood glucose (FBG),ALT,AST,STB,CB,Bun,Cr and creatine kinase (CK) were measured before and 5 years after treatment.Results During fellow-up,2 patients died of severe pneumonia and 1 patient died of operation complications of intestinal obstruction,with mortality rate of 4.9％.2 patients (3.4％) gave up treatment because of muscle-related side-effect.Data was collected in 56 patients achieving study end.There was significant decrease in LDL-C (P＜0.05) and increase in HDL-C (P＜0.05),but there was no change in serum levels of TC,TG,FBG,ALT,AST,STB,CB,BUN,Cr and CK (P＜0.05) after 5 years.The total area of carotid atherosclerosis plaque was reduced [(0.63±0.41)cm2 vs.(1.07±0.67)cm2,P＜0.05] and echo of carotid atherosclerosis plaque was enhanced (2.67±0.52 vs.1.53±0.44,P＜0.01),but carotid intima-media thickness(IMT) appeared no change after five years.Conclusions Atorvastatin is safe in the treatment of advanced elderly patients,it can make carotid atherosclerosis plaque smaller and stable after long-term treatment.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of the antihypertensive protein from Pheretima on blood pressure, angiotensinⅡ and angiotensin Ⅱ AT1 receptor in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).METHODS: The dynamic change of blood pressure in SHR after singel intravenous injection of antihypertensive protein from Pheretima was observed. After intervention with antihypertensive protein from earthworm for 28 d,the levels of blood pressure, angiotensinⅡ and expression of angiotensin Ⅱ AT1 receptor in SHR were detected. RESULTS: Either single intravenous injecion or multiple dosing of the antihypertensive protein from Pheretima could significantly reduce the blood pressure in SHR (P0.05).The expression of angiotensin Ⅱ AT1 receptor in kidney of SHR model increased significanlty compared the normal control (wistar rats), but decreased after the intervention of the antihypertensive protein from Pheretima.CONCLUSION: The antihypertensive protein from Pheretima has antihypertensive effect on SHR. The mechanism may be related to the reduction of angiotensinⅡ level and lowering of the expression of a angiotensin Ⅱ AT1 receptor in kidney.

Methods: The dissolution of five different cephalexin preparations was on-line monitored according to the dissolution method for cephalexin tablets in Chinese Phar-macopeia (2010 edition) combined with a six channel optical fiber chemical sensor in situ dissolution monitor. Results:The dissolu-tion curves could show the drug release characteristics of different cephalexin preparations, and the five different preparations exhibited various drug release features. Conclusion:An in-situ, real time, on-line and process analysis of dissolution can be obtained by optical fiber dissolution test system automatically. The release characteristics of different preparations can be presented through dissolution curves directly, which can provide reference for the overall assessment of drug internal quality and clinical medication.

Objective To investigate the effects of Acanthopanax Senticosus Injection (ASI) on free radical metabolism and apoptosis in the hepatic tissue after hepatic ischemia-reperfusion in rats.Methods A total of 100 rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: a sham operation group, a model group, and groups of high-, medium- and low-dose ASI, 20 rats in each group. Seven days before modeling, the drugs had been given by intraperitoneal injection. The rats in the high-, medium- and low-dose groups were given ASI 40, 80 and 120 mg/kg, respectively, and the rats in the sham operation and model groups were given equivalent volume of normal saline. A rat model of hepatic ischemia reperfusion was induced by partial hepatic pedicle clamping followed by reperfusion. 2 h after reperfusion, the activities of SOD, GSH-Px, GST and the MDA level in the hepatic tissue were determined; the activities of ALT and AST in serum were also determined; the histopathological changes and hepatocyte apoptosis were observed using the HE staining and the TUNEL staining, respectively.Results In comparison with the model group, the activities of SOD (11.16 ± 2.31 U/mg, 10.63 ± 1.92 U/mgvs.7.34 ± 1.78 U/mg;P<0.01 orP<0.05), GSH-Px (15.48 ± 2..91 U/mg, 13.23 ± 1.87 U/mgvs. 10.35 ± 2.04 U/mg;P<0.01 orP<0.05), GST(1.76 ± 0.25 U/mg, 1.55 ± 0.22 U/mgvs.0.94 ± 0.18 U/mg;P<0.01 orP<0.05) in the hepatic tissue in the ASI high- and medium-dose groups were significantly increased; and the MDA level in the hepatic tissue significantly decreased (4.67 ± 1.24 nmol/mg, 4.93 ± 1.53 nmol/mgvs.10.29 ± 2.41 nmol/mg); the serum levels of ALT(671.82 ± 338.37 U/L, 803.91 ± 441.63 U/Lvs.1 416.22 ± 538.94 U/L;P<0.01 orP<0.05), AST(329.02 ± 161.88 U/L, 417.26 ± 182.37 U/Lvs.751.93 ± 262.75 U/L;P<0.01 or P<0.05) were significantly decreased; the histopathological changes and hepatocyte apoptosis in the ASI high-, medium - and low-dose groups were significantly reduced.Conclusions ASI could effectively attenuate oxidative stress in the, improve the histopathological changes, inhibit hepatocyte apoptosis, and protect against hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury in rats.

Objective To explore the principles and methods of surgcal treatment for acute neoplastic colorectal obstruction.Methods The clinical data of 103 patients diagnosed as acute neoplastic colorectal obstruction were analyzed retrospectively.Results In this group,80 cases underwent emergency surgical treatment,(among) which,25 cases of carcinoma of right colon underwent primary resection and anastomosis;in 45 cases of carcinoma of left colon,primary resection and anastomosis was performed in 37 cases;and emergent(operations) were performed in 10 cases of rectal cancer.23 cases received non-emergency surgery.(Anastomotic) fistula occurred in 3 patients,pulmonary infection in 2 patients,pelvic cavity infection in 1(patient),1 patient died and the rest recovered well and were discharged.Conclusions The initial treatment for acute neoplastic colorectal obstruction should be non-surgcal treatment for 1~3d to make non-emergency surgical treatment more possible.If indications are properly selected,primary tumor resection and anastomosis is safe.For patients with severe contamination of abdominal cavity and bowel perforation, primary tumor(resection) should be performed if possible.
