OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical effect and safety of Shenfu injection combined with linezolid in the treatment of severe pneumonia caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). METHODS:In retrospective study,62 MRSA severe pneumonia patients selected from ICU of our hospital during Jun. 2012-Oct. 2015 were divided into observation group (25 cases)and control group(28 cases)according to medication plan. Based on routine treatment,control group was additionally given Linezolid injection 600 mg,ivgtt,bid. Observation group was additionally given Shenfu injection intravenously with initial dose of 60 mL,and then given continuous intravenous infusion of 60 mL at a rate of 20 mL/h,q12 h,on the basis of control group. Both groups were treated for consecutive 2 weeks. Clinical efficacy,bacteriological efficacy,cardiac function indexes and serum levels of inflammatory factors before and after treatment as well as the occurrence of ADR were compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:The clinical response rate of observation group was 88.00%,which was significantly higher than 60.71% of control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). Bacterial clearance rate of observation group was 72.00%, and that of control group was 64.28%,there was no statistical significance between 2 groups(P>0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in cardiac function indexes and serum inflammatory factor levels between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,LVEF,SV,CO and CI of 2 groups were increased significantly compared to before treatment,while the levels of TNF-α,IL-6,CRP and PCT were de-creased significantly;the indexes of observation group was significantly better than those of control group,with statistical signifi-cance (P<0.05). No severe ADR was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Shenfu injection combined with linezolid effectively improves the cardiac function of patients with MRSA severe pneumonia,enhances the anti-inflammatory effect,and have a very significant clinic effect with good safety.

BACKGROUND: In the treatment of senile distal tibia fractures, locking compression plate (LCP) combined with minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) exerts a satisfactory repair effect, and contributes to the function recovery of lower limbs.OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively analyze the efficacy of LCP combined with MIPO versus intramedullary interlocking nailing for senile distal tibia fractures.METHODS: Fifty-six elderly patients with distal tibia fracture were allotted to minimally invasive and intramedullary nailing groups (n=28 per group), and received the treatment of LCP combined with MIPO and intramedullary interlocking nailing fixation, respectively. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative AOFAS ankle-hind foot scale scores, postoperative ambulation time, healing time, postoperative complications and the excellent and good rate in Johner-Wruhs' criteria were compared between two groups.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The operation time, AOFAS ankle-hind foot scale scores, ambulation time, and healing time in the minimally invasive group were significantly superior to those in the intramedullary nailing group (P < 0.05). (2) The minimally invasive group showed a significantly higher excellent and good rate (96%) than the intramedullary nailing group (79%) (P < 0.05). (3) Compared with the intramedullary nailing group, the incidence of complications was significantly reduced in the minimally invasive group (P < 0.05). (4) Our findings suggest that the combination of LCP and MIPO not only preserves the most of blood supply, and soft tissues surrounding the fracture end as suggested by the BO principle, but also is conducive for fracture healing, and holds good efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and possible mechanism of bifidobacterium tetralogy combined with escitalopram oxalate in the treatment of patients with depression and to provide evidence for further clinical research.Methods:A total of 100 patients with depression who received treatment in Taizhou Second People's Hospital from September 2019 to March 2021 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive either escitalopram oxalate and placebo (control group, n = 50) or escitalopram oxalate and bifidobacterium tetralogy (observation group, n = 50). All patients received 9 weeks of treatment. Psychological status pre- and post-treatment was evaluated using the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression and the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety. Serum cortisol, inflammatory factors interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels were detected using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results:Physiological status scores in each group were significantly lower after treatment compared with before treatment. Scores of the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression and the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety scores post-treatment in the observation group were (10.78 ± 2.03) points and (6.37 ± 2.58) points, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(16.78 ± 2.85) points, (13.23 ± 2.95) points, t = 11.40, 13.38, both P < 0.001]. Serum levels of cortisol, inflammatory factors IL-1β and TNF-α in each group were significantly decreased after treatment compared with before treatment. Serum levels of cortisol, inflammatory factors IL-1β and TNF-α post-treatment in the observation group were (137.34 ± 63.29) μg/L, (14.38 ± 6.08)ng/L, (13.95 ± 6.46) ng/L, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(181.22 ± 59.27) μg/L, (25.94 ± 6.92) ng/L, (20.44 ± 6.24) ng/L, t = 15.29, 6.16, 9.24, all P < 0.001). Conclusion:Bifidobacterium tetralogy combined with escitalopram oxalate is highly effective on depression. The combined therapy can remarkably reduce depression and anxiety symptoms and greatly decrease serum cortisol, IL-1β, and TNF-α levels.

OBJECTIVE To study the protective effect and possible mechanism of soybean isoflavones against threatened miscarriage rats. METHODS Female mice were selected to promote estrus and mate with male mice. After pregnancy, they were randomly divided into normal group (purified water, i.g., n=10), model group (purified water, i.g., n=9), positive control drug group (progesterone 4 mg/kg, i.m., n=9), low-, medium- and high-dose soybean isoflavone groups (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg, i.g., n=10). Except for the normal group, the rest were given mifepristone+misoprostol on the 8th day of pregnancy to establish threatened miscarriage model, and then given purified water or drugs, once a day, on days 1-7 and 9-12 of pregnancy, respectively. At 14 days of pregnancy, the rates of fetal protection were counted. Serum levels of β-human chorionic gonadotrophin (β-HCG) and progesterone (P) in rats were detected. Pathological and morphological changes in rat placenta and decidua tissues were observed, and the apoptosis indexes of cells were detected; mRNA and protein expressions of factor of apoptosis related (Fas), factor of apoptosis related ligand (FasL), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and heparin binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF) were determined in placenta tissues, and mRNA and protein expressions of Fas, PCNA and HB-EGF in decidua tissues were detected. RESULTS In the model group, the placental tissues of rats were hyperemia and dilatation, with fewer and irregular blood vessels; severe stromal edema,inflammatory cell infiltration and iron-choledrin depositionwere observed. Compared with model group, the fetal survival rates, serum levels of β-HCG and P, the expressions of PCNA and HB-EGF mRNA and proteins in the placenta and decidua tissue of soybean isoflavone groups increased significantly (P< 0.05), while pathological changes were improved significantly; cell apoptosis index in the placenta and decidua tissue, the expressions of Fas, FasL mRNA and proteins in the placenta and Fas mRNA and protein in the decidua tissue decreased significantly (P<0.05). The effect of soybean isoflavones was dose-dependent (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Soybean isoflavone has protective effect on threatened miscarriage, the mechanism of which is related to down-regulating the expressions of Fas and FasL mRNA and protein at the maternal-fetal interface, and up-regulating the expressions of mRNA and protein of PCNA and HB- EGF.
