Objective To determine the effectiveness and safety of prophylactic intravenous ibuprofen compared to placebo/no intervention on the prevention of patent ductus arteriosus(PDA) in preterm infants.Methods Randomized controlled trials(RCT) or quasi-RCT comparing prophylactic intravenous ibuprofen versus placebo/no treatment for prevention of PDA in preterm infants were enrolled. The standard search strategy included electronic search and manual search. Electronic search was carried out in databases including PubMed,ScienceDirect, EMBASE, OVID, Cochrane Library, VIP Chinese Periodical Database and Chinese Digital Hospital Library (www. chkd. cnki. net) without language restriction. As a supplementation,references in previous reviews and studies identified as relevant had been examined by manual search. RevMan 5.0. 21 was used in the statistical analysis. Effects were expressed as weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for continuous data while risk ratio (RR) and 95%CI for categorical data.Results Four studies qualified for this meta-analysis including three graded 4 and one graded 3 with Jadad scale. Prophylactic use of ibuprofen significantly decreased the incidence of PDA on day three (RR=0. 40,95 % CI: 0. 31-0. 51, P<0.01 ), the need for rescue treatment with cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors (RR = 0. 18,95 % CI:0. 07-0. 45, P = 0. 0003) and the need for surgical ligation (RR = 0. 34,95 % CI: 0. 14-0. 81, P =0. 02) in the prophylactic group. No significant difference of pulmonary, cerebral, gastrointestinal, and renal complications were found between the prophylactic and control groups. Conclusions Prophylactic intravenous ibuprofen significantly reduces the risk of PDA on day three, decreases the need for rescue treatment with cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors and surgical ligation without significant pulmonary, cerebral,gastrointestinal, and renal complications were seen in the prophylactic group. Due to the limits of evidences to date, prophylactic ibuprofen intravenously for prevention of PDA in preterm infants is not recommended.

Objective To evaluate the changes of platelet activity before and after anti-platelet treatment in pa?tients with coronary heart disease, and their responsiveness to clopidogrel through detecting the phosphorylation levels of va?sodilator stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP). Methods Twenty-eight cases of healthy people were selected as control group . Patients with chronic stable angina pectoris (CSA, n=95) were randomly divided into A (48 cases) group and B (47 cases) group,and were given clopidogrel 75 mg/d or 150 mg/d respectively;Patients with non ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NST-ACS, n=67) were all given 300 mg loading dose of clopidogrel at the first time, then randomly divid?ed into C (33 cases) group and D (34 cases) group, and given clopidogrel 75 mg/d and 150 mg/d respectively. Blood were tak?en to examine the phosphorylation levels of serum VASP by ELISA before taking clopidogrel, at time point of loading dose and the fifth day of clopidogrel administration . Results Before treatment, phosphorylation levels of serum VASP were low?er in A, B, C, D groups than those in the normal control group(P<0.05). After treatment of clopidogrel for 5 days: ① In group A and group B ,phosphorylation levels of serum VASP did not change compared to that before treatment (P>0.05).②In group C and group D, phosphorylation levels of serum VASP were significantly increased at loading dose and the fifth day of clopidogrel administration than those before treatment (P<0.05), but there were no significant differences in phosphory?lation level of VASP was lower group between group C and group D after serum treatment (P > 0.05). Conclusion The phosphorylation level of serum VASP was lower in patients with coronary heart disease than that in normal control group. Clopidogrel can improve the phosphorylation level of serum VASP in NST-ACS patients .

Objective To investigate drug resistance mechanism of aminoglycoside-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii by detecting 16S rRNA methylase gene and three common genes of aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes in Acinetobacter baumannii infected patients at EICU. Methods The 48 Acinetobacter baumannii strains were collected,and antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed by VITEK automicroscan. The MIC was detected by 2-fold agar dilution method,and genes were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction( PCR) . Results Among 48 strains,28 were highly resistant to aminoglycosides and 20 showed lower resistances. The 16S rRNA armA,APH(3')-I,ANT(3'')-Ia,AAC(6')-Ib genes were detected in 71. 43%,60. 71%,82. 14%, and 53. 57%of the 28 highly resistant strains,but only present in 0. 00%,0. 05%,0. 05%,and 0. 05%of the low-resistant isolates(P<0. 01). Conclusion The aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes and 16S rRNA methylase were frequently found in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates,which is closely related to the high-level resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics.
