Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) from Chinese literatures published in Chinese Periodical Full-text Database (CNKI) from 2007 to 2011.Methods Using drug-induced liver injury as key words,the literatures in CNKI were searched,and the data of age,gender,medication,clinical manifestation and prognosis were analyzed.Results In search of CNKI,281 literatures were collected; finally 111 relevant papers were obtained.Total 10 693 cases of DILI were included with a male/female ratio of 1.14:1 and a mean age of 45.6 y ranging from 7 months to 93 y.Among 1093 cases with the age grouped,the highest incidence of DILI was in age 41-60 y(38.52％)and 20.68％ patients were over 60 y.Among 6592 cases with clinical manifestation recorded,43.51％ patients were asymptomatic and abnormal liver function was detected in health check-up; and others presented nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms,including fatigue,nausea,vomiting and jaundice.In 9340 cases with medication recorded,the 6 most common drugs inducing DILI were antituberculotics (32.74％),Chinese herbs(22.12％),antibiotics(9.18％),antineoplastics(6.34％),NSAIDs (4.80％)and antithyroid drugs (4.37％).The most common type of toxicity was hepatocellular injury (63.66％,4438/6971).In general the prognosis was good with a fatality rate of 1.67％.Conclusions Antituberculotics and Chinese herbs are the main causes of DILI.Some DILI patients have occult onset and others have nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms.Most patients have good prognosis if they are treated timely.

The differential diagnosis of malignant and benign ascites plays an important role in the treatment of diseases.There have been lots of clinical biochemical parameters for the differentiation of malignant and benign ascites,including fibronectin,lactic dehydrogenase,cholesteral,total protein,adenosine deaminase,serum ascites albumin gradient,free fatty acid,carcinoma embryo antigen,thymidine kinase,pseudouridine,telomerase,?1-antitrypsin,glucose,and pH.The diagnosis efficacy of these biochemical parameters is reviewed in this article.

In the treatment of primary epilepsy, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) compounds and the combination of TCM and Western medicine with acupuncture and moxibustion, massage, acupoint embedding and other therapies are used most. The combined application of different therapies could enhance the curative effect, which could effectively control the frequency of the outbreak of this disease, reduce the adverse reactions of drugs, and further improve the quality of life of patients. In recent years, the number of TCM clinical studies related to this disease has increased, but most of the studies have a small sample size, unclear long-term efficacy, few double-blind trials, and unclear random methods. In addition, the criteria of syndrome classification and curative effect of primary epilepsy need to be unified.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Batroxobin and Urokinase on brain of diabetic rats following focal cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury. To investigate the preventive mechanism of Batroxobin following focal cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury in diabetic rats after thrombolysis therapy.MethodsDiabetic rat was induced by administrating streptozotocin intraperitoneally. Rat model of focal cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury induced by intraluminal filament occlusion of middle cerebral artery(MCA) that removed 2h later was used. Batroxobin and Urokinase were administrated intravenously in different groups. Infarct volume,cerebral hemorrhage and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2,MMP-9 were detected at 2h,24h,48h after ischemia and reperfusion injury.ResultsThe significant decrease of infarct volume were observed in Batroxobin and Urokinase groups. There were 5 rats observed cerebral hemorrhage in Urokinase group and no cerebral hemorrhage in Batroxobin group. The number of MMP-2 and MMP-9 positive cells in Batroxobin and Batroxobin Urokinase groups decreased compared with saline and Urokinase groups. ConclusionBatroxobin can decrease the infarct volume significantly without the complication of cerebral hemorrhage after ischemia and reperfusion injury in diabetic rats, which maybe relate to down regulation of the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of low molecular weight heparin on the acute cerebral infarction (ACI) and the influence on hemodynamics.Methods 143 cases of ACI within 72 hours of the onset of symptoms were randomly divided into two groups:low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and control groups.The LMWH group was added 0.4 ml LMWH subcutaneously twice a day for 10 days,in addition to the routine treatment.The indexes of hemodynamics were measured before and after treatment.Neurological scoring was used to evaluate the clinical effect.Results The effect in the treatment group was significantly superior to that in the control group (P

Objective To investigate the levels of interleukin 1? (IL 1?) and tumor necrosis factor ? (TNF ?) in both serum and CSF in patients with Alzheimer's disease Methods Eleven patients with Alzheimer's disease,13 patients with vascular dementia (VD) and 13 healthy controls were analyzed by using commercial ELISA kits Results The average serum level of IL 1? was found higher in AD patients(60 13?17 81 pg/ml) than in VD patients(38 51?14 39 pg/ml) and in healthy controls(33 98?16 31 pg/ml)( P

OBJECTIVE:To study the in vitro release of lyophilized aclacinimycin A solid lipid nanoparticles(ACM-SLN). METHODS:The release was studied by dynamic dialysis method.Different equations were selected to fit the release law.RESU_ LTS&CONCLUSION:It is good to fit the release law by1 st order equation and Weibull equation.

A Review The diseases caused by endotoxin have seriously affected human health. Previous studies have shown that p38 MAPK pathway is involved in the intracellular signal transduction induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which plays an important role in the activation of inflammation-related cells to release inflammation mediator. Recently there have been some progresses in the isoforms distribution, substrate, molecular mechanism of regulating the release of inflammatory mediators, cellular specific activation and levels of p38 MAPK.
