Objective:To investigate the impact of butylphthalide on homocysteine, CRP and nerve function in the patients with a-cute progressive cerebral infarction. Methods:Totally 122 cases of patients with acute cerebral infarction were randomly divided into the observation group (n=60) and the control group (n=62). The control group was treated with the routine treatment, and the ob-servation group was treated with butylphthalide additionally. The treatment course was two weeks. The total effective rate, blood Hcy, the level of plasma CRP and the changes of neurological function deficits scale in both groups before and after the treatment were ob-served and compared. Results:The overall response rate in the observation group (81. 67%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (64. 52%). After the treatment, the blood Hcy and CRP in both groups were significantly lower than that before the treatment(P<0. 05), and that of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0. 05). The neuro-logical function deficits scale in both groups were significantly lower than that before the treatment(P<0. 05), and that of the observa-tion group was significantly lower than that of the control group at the same period. The two groups during the treatment showed no sig-nificant adverse reactions. Conclusion: The effect of butylphthalide in the patients with acute cerebral infarction is effective, which can reduce blood Hcy, the level of plasma CRP and the neurological function deficits scale, and improve the neurological function with-out obvious adverse reactions during the treatment course.

AIM: To investigate the influence of Sijunzi Decoction(Radix et Rhizoma ginseng,Rhizoma atractylodis macrocephalae,poria,Radix et Rhizoma glycyrrhizae) on the pharmacokinetics of Levofloxacin(LVFX) in rats with deficiency of spleen. METHODS: Twenty-four rats were randomly divided into four groups: NS(normal rats given 0.9% saline solution),NS+SJZT(normal rats given 0.9% saline solution and Sijunzi Decoction),R(rats pretreated with Reserpine) and R+SJZT(rats pretreated with Reserpine and then cured with Sijunzi Decoction).After a single oral administration of LVFX 20 mg/kg,blood samples were collected at different intervals.The concentrations of LVFX plasma were determined by HPLC.Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined from the plasma concentration-time data. RESULTS: Reserpine led to the syndromes similar to the deficiency of spleen,a traditional Chinese medicine syndrome.The pharmacokinetic parameters of LVFX in NS,NS+SJZT,R and R+SJZT groups were as follows: AUC_((0-∞))=(8.55 ?0.99),(7.41?1.39),(4.68?0.95) and(7.89?1.41)mg/(L?h),respectively and C_(max)=(3.31?0.63),(2.38?1.15),(1.29?0.45) and(3.35?1.15) mg/L,respectively.Compared with the parameters of LVFX in NS group,Reserpine markedly decreased AUC_((0-∞)) and C_(max) of LVFX(P

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the distribution and drug resistance of pyogenic encephalitis in our hospital,and to pro-vide reference for rational use of antibiotics. METHODS:The cerebrospinal fluid pathogen of 4 255 patients with pyogenic encepha-litis in our hospital during Jan. 1st,2011-Dec. 31st,2014 were cultured and identified,and drug sensitivity test was conducted. RE-SULTS:A total of 834 pathogens were isolated with positive detection rate of 19.6%,including 576 strains of gram-positive bacte-ria,accounting for 69.1%;255 strains of gram-negative bacteria,accounting for 30.6%;3 strains of fungi,accounting for 0.4%. Top 3 gram-positive bacteria were Coagulase-negative staphylococci(436 strains),Staphylococcus aureus(56 strains)and Entero-coccus (29 strains). Top 3 gram-negative bacteria were Klebsiella pneumoniae (46 strains),Acinetobacter baumannii (38 strains) and Escherichia coli(31 strains). Top 3 departments were neurosurgery department(506 strains),ICU(169 strains)and severe re-spiratory disease department (64 strains). Results of drug sensitivity test showed that no drug-resistant Staphylococcus and Entero-coccus strains to vancomycin,teicoplanin and miuocycline was found;nonfermenting Gram-negative bacilli showed low resistant to minocycline. CONCLUSIONS:Gram-positive bacteria dominates the detection rate of cerebrospinal fluid of pyogenic encephalitis patients;drug resistance of various pathogens is serious and clinicians should choose antibiotics based on drug sensitivity.
