OBJECTIVE: To study the pharmacokinetics of infusion Etimicin in the patients with respiratory tract infec- tions. METHODS: Ten patients were infused with 200mg Etimicin and the concentrations of drug in the plasma, urine and sputurn were determined by microbiological method. RESULTS & CONCLUSlON: The peak concentration of plasma was 17.74?g/ml. The concentration of 0.29?g/ml maintained 12h after administration. Pharmacokinetics parameters conformed to two - compartment model. The pharmacokinetics parameters were, T1/2?= 0. 257h, T1/2? = 2. 22h, Vc = 34. 32L, K2l = 2.14h~(-1), K12 = 0. 48h~(-1), K10 = 0.39h~(-1). The cumulative percentage of renal excretion was 21.37% within 12h, Ke =0. 027h~(-1), K = 0. 431h~(-1). The drug concentration in sputum reached the peak of 2.09?g/ml 2h after infusion.

OBJECTIVE:To study the anti-infective effect of ceftriaxone in perioperative period METHODS:28 cases of cholelithiasis complicating infections who had to undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy were enrolled in this study Ceftriaxone,1g,im,was injected 1h~1 5h before anesthesia,and blood and bile were sampled before,during and after operation The concentration of ceftriaxone was determined by UV-spectrophotometry RESULTS:The concentrations of ceftriaxone in blood before,during and after operation were(37 59?16 13)?g/ml,(49 68?10 51)?g/ml and (27 09?12 38)?g/ml respectively The drug concentration in blood peaked 2h after drug administration,at this time,the drug concentration of bile was 4 times that of blood (201 77?20 16)?g/ml CONCLUSION:The drug concentration in blood was 49 times as high as MIC,which indicates that ceftriaxone has preventive and therapeutic effects on possible infections during perioperative period

Objective To investigate the distribution of urate crystal as well as the relationship bet ween the features of the crystals and the attacks of joint pain and/or swollen by foot dual-energy CT.Methods Eight-four patients (68 were diagnosed as gout, 11 were patients with hyperuricemia and 5 were diagnosed as other types of arthritis) who recently experienced foot swelling and/or pain were enrolled and all of them were performed foot dual-energy CT.The relationship between the features of the urate crystals and the attacks of gouty arthritis was determined by Chi test and the potential risk factors were identified by Logistic multiple regression analysis.Results Two hundred and seventyeight urate crystal depositions were found in 68 gout patients,and the most common deposition sites were the distal parts of the first toe(18.2%),the first metatarso-phalangeal joint ( 16.8% ),calcaneus ( 17.5% ),the lower end of tibia ( 11.8% ).Furthermore,patients with the urate crystals deposited in the first metatrasophalangeal joint or the lower end of of tibia were more likely to experience acute episodes of gout attack (P<0.01,P<0.05 respectively).In addition,the shape,size and quantity of urate crystals also affected episodes of acute attack of gout.Conclusion Dual-energy CT,which is a non-invasive method,could clearly reveal urate crystal depositions and is helpful for the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with gout.The location,shape,size and quantity of urate crystals and soft tissue swelling,bone erosion may affect the acute attack of gout.

Objective To study the molecular mechanism of Bel subtype caused by mutation p.R168W of glycosyltransferase B.Methods Serological test,SSP-PCR and direct sequence the Exon6 and Exon 7 of the ABO gene.Construct a 3D molecular model and predict the structural impact of GTB protein mutations.Results A antigen or B antigen can't be detected on the surface of the propositus' RBC,and only anti-A antibodies were detected in her serum.But serological test indicated her daughter's blood type was a normal B type.SSP-PCR test indicated propositus' ABO gene type is O1 B.By gene sequencing the Exon 6 and Exon 7 of the ABO gene,a ABO Bel allel(c.502C>T,p.R168W)was discoverd in both the propositus and her daughter.Through the propositus' daughter coexisted Bel gene with normal B gene,her blood type was a normal B type.Conclusions ABO gene c.502C>T mutations cause Bel phenotypes in patients by reducing the stability of GTB.

OBJECTIVE:
To carry out genetic testing for two families affected with cobalamin C (cblC) and establish a rapid method for the detection of a hotspot pathogenic variant c.609G>A of the MMACHC gene by using a PCR-high-resolution melting curve (PCR-HRM) method.
METHODS:
Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples of the probands and their parents. Potential variants of the MMACHC gene was analyzed by Sanger sequencing. The c.609G>A variant of the MMACHC gene was screened among 100 healthy children with the PCR-HRM method.
RESULTS:
Sanger sequencing revealed that proband 1 carried compound heterozygous variants c.394C>T and c.609G>A of the MMACHC gene, while proband 2 carried compound heterozygous variants c.482G>A and c.609G>A of the same gene. PCR-HRM analysis of the two probands and the 100 healthy children were consistent with the Sanger sequencing.
CONCLUSION
c.609G>A is a hotspot pathogenic variant of the MMACHC gene. The diagnosis of cblC may be rapidly attained through detection by PCR-HRM.

Anti-seizure medications (ASMs) are the main therapy for epilepsy.There are many kinds of ASMs with complex mechanism of action, so it is difficult for pharmacists to examine prescriptions.This paper put forward some suggestions on the indications, dosage forms/routes of administration, appropriateness of usage and dosage, combined medication and drug interaction, long-term prescription review, individual differences in pathophysiology of children, and drug selection when complicated with common epilepsy, for the reference of doctors and pharmacists.

Background: Disrupted circadian rhythms have been associated with the development of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In some IBS patients, the symptoms may present with circadian fluctuations. Enterochromaffin cells (EC cells) and tryptophan hydroxylase 1 (TPH1) - 5 - hydroxytryptamine (5 - HT) signaling pathway are currently recognized as the key pathophysiological mechanism of IBS. Aims: To explore whether Bmal1, the core circadian clock gene, is involved in the occurrence of IBS by regulating TPH1-5-HT signaling pathway in EC cells. Methods: Normal Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and IBS-model SD rats, as well as wild type (WT) and intestine-specific Bmal1 knockout (Bmal1
