Methods Unconditional logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the clinical data of 49 cases of melioidosis and 98 cases of bacterial pneumonia who were admitted in our hospital and Peoples' Hospital of Hainan Province from December 1996 to December 2007. Their social characteristic,background diseases,clinical manifestations,laboratory findings,radiologic examination and complications were studied. Results Background disease (such as diabetes),hepatosplenomegaly,septic shock,sepsis et al were the main causes of melioidosis. Conclusion Chills,fever,hepatosplenomegaly,diabetes mellitus,septic shock and sepsis are all factors that should be considered with melioidosis.

AIM: To investigate the effects of extract of Ginkgo biloba (EGb) on diaphragm from diabetic rats. METHODS: Sprague-Dauley rats were divided into three groups: normal control, diabetic group and EGb treatment group. The morphologic changes of diaphragm tissues were studied by light and electron microscopy, the activities of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO_2~-/NO_3~-) in the diaphragm mitochondria were assayed by spectophotometer, respectively. RESULTS: The activities of SOD, SDH decreased in diabetic diaphragm mitochondria, but the activitiy of NOS, the contents of NO_2~-/NO_3~-, MDA increased compared with control group. The activities of SOD, SDH were increased as well as NOS were decreased and the contents of NO_2~-/NO_3~-, MDA decreased in EGb treatment group compared with the diabetic group. CONCLUSION: EGb may protects the diaphragm mitochondria of diabetic rats by enhancing the function of respiratory chain, anti-oxidation and decreasing NO level. [

Objective To study the effects of soybean isoflavone(SI) on lipid peroxidation and liver ultrastructure in ovariectomized rats. Methods Seventy female Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were randomly divided into 7 groups according to the levels of total cholesterol(TC) in serum: hyper-lipoid group,estrogen group,low-dose SI group,middle-dose SI group,high-dose SI group,sham group and normal control group.After bilateral ovaries were extirpated except sham and normal control groups for a week,the estrogen,different doses of SI or deionized water were fed with intragastric administration for 12 weeks.The rat body weight was weighted once per week and blood samples were collected at the time of ovariectomization,the 4th and 8th weeks after administeration at the time of being killed.The serum TC,triglyceride(TG),high or low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C,LDL-C),lipoprotein(a) and antioxygen enzyme were assayed. Results LDL-C levels in SI intervention groups were significantly lower than that in hyper-lipoid groups but higher than that in normal control group;the levels of lipoprotein(a) were changed;there was almost no effect on HDL-C in serum.SI could retain integrity and ultrastructure of hepatocyte;there was similar structure in high dose SI group and normal control group.An obvious damage was detected in hyper-lipoid group.Conclusion SI can improve lipoprotein(a) and lipid peroxidation in ovariectomized rats.A continuous intervention with high-SI can reduce LDL-C to normal lever and retain integrity and ultrastructure of hepatocyte.

Objective: To establish the standardized management mode for emergent medicines of inpatient area based on JCI. Methods:The expiry verification data of emergent medicines in hospital wards were collected from 2013 to 2015. The number and the amount of emergent medicines expired in the last three months in each calendar month during the three years were analyzed, the exist-ing problems in the management mode were found out and gradually optimized using PDCA cycle. Results:From 2013 to 2015, the re-placement amount of emergent medicines expired in the next month was 3497. 37 yuan. The number of emergent medicines expired in current month was 62. A total of 420 times of emergent medicines didn' t meet the requires of expiry verification from 2013 to 2015. After the check-in form redesign for emergent medicines and the standardization of replacement process, the number of expired medi-cines in the rescue carts was reduced, and the validity and quantity of drugs in all the rescue vehicles could be clearly shown in the new form. Conclusion:The standardization of emergent medicine management model can guarantee the safety of emergent medicines used in patients.
