OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes of insoluble particles of shuanghuanglian in quantity after mixed with benzylpenicillin,cefradine and dexamethasone in normal saline.METHODS: Using ZWF-4D particle counter,the number of insoluble particles in sizes of ≥ 2.0μ m,≥ 5.0μ m,≥ 10.0μ m and ≥ 25.0μ m was counted and compared before and after mixed with above-mentioned three drugs.RESULTS: The insoluble particles of Shuanghuanglian were obviously increased after mixed with benzylpenicillin,the particles in sizes of ≥ 5.0μ m,≥ 10.0μ m and ≥ 25.0μ m increased twice,23 and 94 times respectively.The insoluble particles were also increased after mixed with cefradine or dexamethasone,however,the increase rate was lower in comparison with that mixed with benzylpenicillin.CONCLUSION: Shuanghuanglian,used in combination with above-mentioned drugs,should be put into separate infusion bottle to avoid the increase of insoluble particles and ADRs.

OBJECTIVE: To confirm the efficacy and safety of latanoprost in treating glaucoma.METHODS: In a double blind, randomized control clinical trial, we compared the efficacy and adverse drug reactions of once daily topically applied 0.005% latanoprost with those of twice daily 0.5% timolol for 12 weeks in patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.RESULTS: The study included 46 patients(22 pts.randomized to latanoprost treatment, 24 pts.to timolol) , 46 patients remained at the end of the study.Comparing with baseline diurnal intraocular pressure(IOP) , the IOP reduction(mean±standard deviation) achieved with latanoprost(7.86±2.39) mmHg, (31.1%, P<0.001),and timolol(6.24±2.58)mmHg (24.9%,P<0.001),the difference between the two groups(1.62mmHg) being significant(P<0.01). Two patients treated with latanoprost had foreign body sensation. No other ocular and systemic adverse reactions related to the two drugs were found. CONCLUSION: The results of this study demonstrated that 0.005% latanoprost applied once daily is well tolerated and more effective in reducing IOP than 0.5% timolol applied twice daily. Thus, latanoprost has the potential for becoming one of the ideal antiglaucoma drugs.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical therapeutic effect of L-glutamine granules on intestinal damage of severe burn patients and the safty of the drug.METHODS: Thirty-nine severe burn patients were randomly divided into two groups: control group(C group, nineteen patients) and L-glutamine treatment group(GLN group, twenty patients) .GLN group patients were given L-glutamine in a dose of 30g per day for 7 days, and C group patients were given the same dosage of placebo for 7 days.The plasma L-glutamine concentration, the degree of intestinal mucosa damage, blood biochemistry and complication were observed and wound healing rate of burn area was determined, then the length of hospital stay was recorded.RESULTS: After 7 days of taking L-glutamine orally, plasma L-glutamine concentration in GLN group was significant higher than that in C group(P<). The degree of intestine damage and intestinal mucosal permeability in GLN group were lower than those in C group. In addition, the wound healing rate was faster and the length of hospital stay was shorter in GLN group than those in C group. CONCLUSION: Administration of L-glutamine could abate the degree of intestine damage obviously, lessen intestinal mucosal permeability, ameliorate wound healing rate and reduce the length of hospital stay.
