OBJECTIVE To observe the clinical therapeutic effect of levofloxacin combined with cefoperazone-sulbactam on pulmonary infection caused by multidrug-resistant(MDR) bacillus infection.METHODS Eighty five patients with pulmonary infection caused by MDR bacillus infection were randomly divided into treatment group and control group,combined levofloxacin and cefoperazone-sulbactam were used in 45 patients of treatment group,ceftriaxone sodium was used in 40 patients of control group,their therapeutic effect was observed 7 days later.RESULTS Thirty four patients of treatment group were cured,7 patients with excellence,3 patients with improvement and only 1 patient was invalid.The total effective rate was 91%.Clinical manifestation such as cough,expectoration,and dyspnea had obviously improved.Sputum culture darkening rate was high.CONCLUSIONS Combined therapy of levofloxacin and cefoperazone-sulbactam has definite therapeutic effect on pulmonary infection caused by MDR bacillus infection.

AIM: To explore the main risk factors related to the incidence of endophthalmitis in patients after cataract surgery in China and to provide evidence for prevention.METHODS: The results of 5 studies on the main risk factors of endophthalmitis in patients after cataract surgery were analyzed by Meta-analysis method.
RESULTS: The pooled odds ratio values and 95% CI of age(≥70), diabetes, vitreous overflow, operative time ( ≥ 10min ), common operating room and control of using time of topical anesthetic were 1. 81(95% CI: 1. 43-1. 69),3. 66 (95% CI: 1. 64 - 8. 16),2. 21 (95% CI: 1. 46 -3. 32),3. 54 (95% CI: 2. 47 - 5. 06),2. 77 (95% CI: 2. 07 -3. 72),2. 09(95% CI: 1. 53-2. 86).
CONCLUSION: The main risk factors of endophthalmitis were the age(≥70), diabetes, vitreous overflow, operative time(≥10min), common operating room and control of using time of topical anesthetic.

Dry age-related macular degeneration(AMD)is a prevalent form of irreversible blindness worldwide in the elderly population with an increasing incidence in China.It is found that some dry AMD will develop to wet AMD and therefore damage visual function.Pathogenesis of AMD is below understand now,but it is thought to be related to the light-induced ocular damage,oxidative stress response,extracellular disposition and immunology.Up to now,effective and safe prevention and treatment methods of AMD are still studying,especially wet AMD,but the concern on dry AMD is not enough.Some basic and clinical pharmaceutics researches on AMD include antioxidants,anti-extracellular disposition drugs and anti-inflammatory agents.With the rise of aging population,we should pay special attention to the research on pathogenesis,diagnosis and treatment of dry AMD.

Objective To investigate the relative risk factors of glucose metabolism disorder in newborn infants.Methods Clinical information of 791 newborns suffered from glucose metabolism disorders who had been hospitalized in NICU from Jan.2004 to May 2007 were analyzed retrospectively.Four hundred and thirty-nine cases presented with hypoglycemia,275 cases presented with hyperglycemia,and 77 cases presented with both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.Data of risk factors were processed with both ?2 test and multiple Logistic regression analysis.Results The statistic analysis showed that low birth weight[258 cases(58.77%)],asphyxia[217 cases(49.43%)],acidosis[146 cases(33.26%)],hypothermia[128 cases(29.16%)],maternal gestational hypertension[83 cases(18.91%)],pneumonia[63 cases(14.35%)],anomaly of placenta[35 cases(7.97%)],maternal diabetes[17 cases(3.87%)] and septicaemia[10 cases(2.28%)]were significant hypoglycemia risk factors(according to the level of morbidity).Pneumonia[98 cases(35.64%)],asphyxia[129 cases(27.23%)],hypoxemia[61 cases(22.18%)]and septicaemia[24 cases(8.73%)]were significant hyperglycemia risk factors.Acidosis[33 cases(42.86%)],pneumonia[27 cases(35.06%)]and maternal diabetes[6 cases(7.79%)] were significant risk factors for neonates with both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.Conclusion Dynamic monitoring of blood glucose concentration and reasonable adjustment is recommended for neonates with risk factors to lower morbility and mortality.

Objective To explore the clinical significance and changes of tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?)and interleukin-6(IL-6)level in children with acute viral myocarditis(AVM).Methods TNF-? and IL-6 level in serum from 53 AVM children and 20 healthy children were measured by radio-immunoassay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The relation between the levels of TNF-? and IL-6 in serum with the occurrence and development in acute viral myocarditis was analyzed.Results Thirty-two were males and 21 females in the 53 AVM children.The ages ranged from 3-11 years old.There were 12 males and 8 females in control group.The serum level of TNF-? and IL-6 were(526.7?32.9),(3.23?0.53)mg/L in AVM group and(383.1?27.5),(1.63?0.22)mg/L in control group.There were significant difference between the 2 groups(Pa

Objective To investigate the effects of hypoxia on thyroid function in patients suffering from chronic pulmonary heart disease(CPHD).Methods Serum TT 3,TT 4 and TSH in 83 patients with different hypoxia chronic pulmonary heart disease were measured.Observe the changes and relations between TT 3,TT 4,TSH and Pa(O 2).Results The values of TT 3,TT 4 and TSH were (0 71?0 16)?g/L,(62 6?12 3)?g/L and(4 4?0 8)mU/L in patients with mild hypoxia CPHD.(0 49?0 13)?g/L,(33 2?8 5)?g/L and (5 3?0 7)mU/L in patients with moderate hypoxia CPHD.In the patients with severe hypoxia CPHD,they were (0 24?0 07)?g/L,(18 4?4 5)?g/L and (13 1?1 2)mU/L.In control group,they were (0 91?0 36)?g/L,(84 1?15 6)?g/L and (3 7?0 6)mU/L respectively.Pa(O 2) in patients with pulmonary heart disease had a positive relation with TT 3 and TT 4(P

OBJECTIVE:To select the optimum watering extraction process of yangyinqingwei oral liquid. METHODS: Influence of extraction time upon the extraction of volatile oil was observed; The orthogonal design was adopted to observe the extraction process of weight of the extracts and the content of paeoniflorin. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The optimum watering extraction process of yangyinqingwei oral liquid was that medicinal materials were dipped for 30 minutes before decoction,then the extraction of volatile oil in saposhnikovia divaricata and pogostemon cablinlasted for 2 hours, next the residue of drugs and the other drugs were decocted together, and finally water of 8 times as much as the drugs were added and the mixture was extracted 3 times, with 1.5 hours for each time.

Objective To investigate the adjunctive therapeutic effect of recombination growth hormone(rhGH) on the elderly patients with pulmonary infection.Methods 53 elderly patients with pulmonary infection were randomly divided into rhGH group(n=25) and control group(n=28).The rhGH group were received hypodermic introl group were received standard therapy.Clinical efficacy were compared between two groups.The level of albumin (ALB),growth hormone (GH),insulin-llke growth factor-1 (IGF-1),leptin (LP) were measured and the body mass index(BMI) was observed in all cases before and after treatment.Results The overall efficacy of rhGH group and control group was 88.0% versus 60.7%.The results showed significant statistical difference between both groups(P＜0.05).After treating with rhGH for 10 days,the level of BMI,ALB,GH,IGF-1 and LP were increased in the rhGH group,which were(26.1±4.1)kg/m2;(38.4 ±6.6)g/L;(7.0 +0.9) μg/L;(27.3 ±6.1)μg/L;(6.9 ± 1.1)μg/Lrespectively.And the level of BMI,ALB,GH,IGF-1 and LP were (21.8 ± 3.4 ) kg/m2 ;( 29.5 ± 5.1 ) g/L;( 4.0 ±0.4) μg/L;( 22.0±3.8 )μg/L;( 3.8±0.8 )μg/L in the control group after treatment.The results showed significant statistical difference between both groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion There was obvious adjunctive therapeutic effect of rhGH to the elderly patients with pulmonary infection by improving the nutritional state of these patients.
