Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2011;27(2):160-162
Objective To observe the effect of CD44 antibody on the hyaluronic acid (HA)generation) were cultured in three different medium: without HA (group 1),0. 01 mg/ml HA (group 2),10 μg/ml HA and CD44 antibody (group 3). The cells in the group 2 and 3 were pre-cultured with HA and CD44 antibody, and the supernatant was collected. HA-substrate gel electrophoresis was performed for HA degradation, while ELISA-like method was performed for HA-binding protein. Results HA-substrate gel electrophoresis showed white light double-band on blue background in groups 1 and 3, thicker double-band or bright de-colored blocks in group 2. ELISA-like method showed that the absorbance (A) value of groups 1,2 and 3 were 0.310 ± 0.025, 0.093 ± 0.051, 0.025 ± 0.069 respectively. The A value of group 2 was obviously lower than that of group 1 (t=28.1, P<0.01); the A value of group 3 was significantly higher than that of group 2 (t=26.9, P<0.01), but was the same as group 1 (t=4.92, P>0.05). Conclusion CD44 antibody can inhibit the interaction between Miller cells and HA, and thus reduce the HA degradation.

Objective Systematic review the effect and side effect of Probucol on contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI), and to evaluate the characteristics and strength of the protective effect. Methods Electronic search studies from databases published in English and Chinese before March 2014, and hand searches of relevant randomized controlled trials of references. Features, the quality of research and valid data of included studies were extracted, then using RevMan 5.0 software to conduct a Meta-analysis base on Cochrane systematic review methods. Results A total of 11 literatures described eight randomized controlled trials involving 1938 cases of patients evaluated the effect of Probucal on CIAKI. A total of seven studies involving 1,298 patients, compared the incidence of CIAKI, the total incidence rate was 10.9%(141/1298), CIAKI incidence was 5.7%(37/652) in the Probucal group and 16.1%(104/646) in the control group (RR 0.37, 95%CI 0.26~0.53). Lower postoperative creatinine values was observed in Probucol group, compared with the control group on the first day Weighted Mean Difference (WMD-6.76, 95%CI-9.33~-4.20)μmol/L, the second day (WMD-16.90, 95%CI-22.61~-11.19)μmol/L, the third day(WMD-11.05, 95%CI-17.65~-4.45)μmol/L, and lower peak postoperative creatinine than the control group[(WMD- 14.58, 95%CI- 19.00 ~ - 10.16)μmol/L]. Probucol group with lower postoperative urinary KIM-1[(WMD-3.64 , 95%CI-3.72~-3.57) ng/ml], and the serum CysC was also low. Conclusions Preoperative or postoperative oral Probucol has a protective effect on CIAKI, can reduce the rise of postoperative renal injury indicators of coronary angiography or coronary intervention, such as serum creatinine and CysC, and CIAKI can be reduced by about 60%, no significant side effects observed.

Objective To analyze the distribution and drug resistance of pathogens for bacterial infection after lung transplantation,so as to provide evidence for clinical prophylactic strategies postoperation and reasonable use of antibiotics.Method The bacterial distribution and drug resistance of 81 recipients after lung transplantation in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed from May 2009 to October 2012.The VITEK-32 full-automatic microbial identification system (Biomerieux,France)and its supplementary reagent were used for bacterial identification and drug sensitive test.The data were statistically analyzed by using the software SPSS 13.0.Result There were 67 cases of bacterial infection in the 81 recipients after lung transplantation and the infection rate was 82.72% (67/81).The infection was caused by one kind of bacteria in 20 patients,two kinds of bacteria in 23 patients and multiple bacteria in 24 patients.157 strains pathogenic bacteria were produced,and the grampositive bacilli and the gram-negative bacilli accounted for 12.74% and 87.26% respectively.The most common pathogens for the bacterial infection were Acinetobacter baumannii,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Stenotrophomonasmaltophilia,Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.Most of the bacterial infections occurred in the early period (≤1 month) after lung transplantation and most non-fermentative bacterial pathogens were resistant to multi-antibiotics.Conclusion The bacterial infection rate is high after lung transplantation.The rational use of antibiotics in clinical practice should be adjusted according to the bacterial distribution and drug resistance.

Objective:
To investigate the feasibility of parameter-optimized magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as the first choice for imaging examination in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), and to assess the effects of quality improvement (QI) measures on shortening the door-to-needle time (DNT).
Methods:
A retrospective case-control study was conducted. A total of 69 AIS patients hospitalized at the Department of Neurology of the People's Hospital of Wuzhou from August 2015 to July 2018 were enrolled in the study, and the head MRI was used as the first choice for imaging examination. All patients received the intravenous thrombolytic therapy with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA). Patients with AIS undergoing intravenous thrombolysis from August 2015 to March 2017 were included in the control group, and those receiving intravenous thrombolysis after QI measures from April 2017 to July 2018 were included in the experimental group. QI included informing the stroke team in advance by emergency physicians, treatment process changing from serial procedure to the parallel one, optimization of MRI scanning parameters, and use of rapid test instruments. The MRI scanning time was compared between the two groups. The DNT of the two groups was compared, and paired-samples
