OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of moxifloxacin on pharmacokinetics of phenytoin sodium in rabbits. METHODS: A total of 10 rabbits were injected with phenytoin sodium (10 mg?kg-1) via the vein in ear edge,with serum samples taken at 10,30,60,120,240,360,and 480 min,respectively for establishing phenytoin sodium alone group. 48 h after the last sampling,the rabbits were given oral moxifloxacin (10 mg?kg-1) for 5 consecutive days;on day 6,the rabbits were injected with phenytoin sodium (10 mg?kg-1) at 2 h after oral administration of moxifloxacin,then serum samples were taken at different time points for establishing combination group of phenytoin sodium and moxifloxacin. The serum concentrations of phenytoin sodium at different time points were determined by UV-spectrophotometry and the pharmacokinetic parameters were computed with 3p97 program. RESULTS: The plasma concentration of phenytoin sodium reduced in the combination group compared with alone group. The AUC in the two groups was (5 836.22?489.13) vs. (4 329.21?344.67) mg?min?L-1 (P0.05). CONCLUSION: The elimination of phenytoin sodium was significantly accelerated by combination with moxifloxacin.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics and causes of adverse drug reactions (ADR) in Jiangxi region in order to improve the rational use of drug in clinic. METHODS: A total of 10 033 cases of ADR reports collected in Jiangxi region in 2008 were classified and analyzed statistically. RESULTS: The ADR were predominantly induced by antimicrobial drugs (53.76%), followed by TCM preparation (16.68%). Intravenous administration was the main cause of ADR(65.45%). 225 case of severe ADR reports accounted for 2.24% and 412 cases of new ADR reports 4.11%. 99 cases of severe ADR were characterized by the systematic damages.12 death cases and 12 sequelae cases were involved in 225 cases of severe ADR reports. CONCLUSION: Great importance should be attached to ADR monitoring, reporting and publicizing to promote rational use of drug in clinic.

Objective: To establish the quality standard for Tiaolitongbao I capsules.Methods: The components including Astragalus , Atractylodes, Finger citron and Radix aucklandiae were identified by TLC.Emodin, the effective component of Polygonum cuspidatum , was determined by HPLC.Results: The characteristic spots in TLC were clear without any interference.The linear range of emodin was 4.25-68.00 μg·ml-1 (r =0.999 9).The average recovery was 95.22% ,and RSD was 1.47% (n =6).Conclusion: The methods used for the identification and quantification are sensitive, simple and accurate, which can be used for the quality control of Tiaolitongbao I capsules.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and drug resistanc of nosocomial infection pathogens from lower respiratory tract in senile patients in different season.METHODS The sputum samples from lower respiratory tract infection in senile patients in two years,were collected to identify pathogens and drug sensitivity test j udged according to NCCLS standard.RESULTS The gram-negative bacilli accounted for 85.7%.The gram- posutive bacilli accounted for 14.3%.The predominant pathogens were Pseudomonas aeruginosa(20.3%),Kleb- siella pneumoniae(14.5%),Acinetobacter lwof fi(9.8%),coagulase-negative staphylococci(9.0%).The distribution and antibiotic-resistanc of main pathogens had different characteristics in different season. CONCLUSIONS Understanding the characteristics of local pathogen spectruma and the antibiotic-resistanc of main pathogens in different season were signincant on prevention and therapy of the lower respiratory tract infection in senile patients.

Objective To assess the effect of simvastatin on secretion of VEGF in blood serum and sputum of elderly chronic ob-structive pulmonary disease(COPD)combined with PAH patients and the pulmonary function.Methods Seventy cases of elderly COPD patients combined with PAH patients were randomized in two groups,namely the normal treatment group and combined sim-vastatin group (35 cases in each group),then compare the changes of the VEGF in blood serum,sputum and lung function.Results VEGF in blood serum and sputum showed significant changes after therapies of simvastatin (P <0.05).After 4 weeks′therapy, the FEV1% pre and FEV1/FVC increased significantly (P <0.05).Conclusion Normal treatment combine with simvastatin could decrease VEGF in blood serum and sputum of elderly COPD combined with PAH patients,meanwhile improve pulmonary function.

Objective To explore the effect of immunogenicity of freeze-dried bone allograft on different in vitro experimental models. Methods The lymphocytes were obtained respectively from 10 healthy young human volunteers, 10 Balb/c and 10 C57 mice and 10 New Zealand rabbits. The experiment was carried out in 6 groups: positive control group (PHA/ConA+lymphocyte), negative control group (Hydroxyapatite powder + lymphocyte), allogeneic bone group A (Freeze-dried bone powder 2. 0 g/L + lym-phocyte), allogeneic bone group B (Freeze-dried bone powder 1.0 g/L + lymphocyte), allogeneic bone group C (Freeze-dried bone powder 0.5 g/L + lymphocyte), and negative control group (culture solution + lym-phocyte). Lymphocyte transformation test (Alamarblue) was conducted to culture the 6 kinds of experimental materials in vitro. After 72 hours, samples were scanned with ELISA muhiscan at wave lengths 570 nm and 600 nm to fetal the light absorption value. Pearson analyses were performed 10 determine the relationships a-mong the 3 animals and 1 human groups and find out which animal would be highly correlated to human. Results In the human and Balb/c mice lymphocyte transformation tests, there was no significant difference (P > 0.05) between allogeneic bone groups A, B, C and negative control group (HA) ; but there was sig-nificant difference (P < 0.001) between allogeneic bone groups A, B, C and positive control group (PHA/ConA); there was no significant difference between the 3 allogeneic bone groups (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference among the 6 groups of C57 mice and New Zealand rabbits (P > 0.05). The coefficient r between Balb/c mice and human groups was 0.959, P = 0.003, showing a highly positive correlation. The coefficient r between C57 mice and human groups was 0.527, P = 0.283, while the coefficient r between New Zealand rabbits and human groups was 0.866, P =0.026. Conclusions The immunogenicity of freeze-dried bone powder in this experiment may not be sufficient enough to induce significanrt immunologic response. Balb/c mice may be preferable for immunogenicity related experiments.

Objective To observe the damage to Langerhans cells induced by UVB irradiation,and to evaluate photoprotective effect of these cells from UVB irradiation by epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG).Methods Biopsy specimens were obtained from normal adult foreskin,and epidermal cells were isolated.Density gradient centrifugation and magnetic cell sorting were used simultaneously to purify Langerhans cells from the cell suspension.These cells were then divided into three groups,control (no ir- radiation or EGCG treatment),UVB (irradiation) and EGCG (irradiation+ECCG treatment) groups. The cells in the UVB and EGCG group were irradiated by UVB (30 mJ/cm~2).After the irradiation,the U- VB group was incubated with RPMI-1640 containing 10% bovine serum for 4 hours,while the EGCG group with the same medium containing 200?g/mL of EGCG for 4 hours.Another four hours after the treatment, the cells were collected for the detection of apoptosis rate by propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry. Results Exposure to UVB (30 mJ/cm~2) significantly increased the apoptotic rate of Langerhans cells.The apoptotic rate in EGCG group was significantly lower than that in the UVB group,but was higher than that in the control group.Conclusion Rate of apoptosis of Langerhans cells could be increased by UVB irradia- tion,while EGCG could prevent the increase of apoptosis.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of nosocomial infection pathogens from lower respiratory tract in senile patients. METHODS The sputum and lower respiratory tract secretion in the senile patients with lower respiratory tract infection were collected nearly five years,and identified.The drug sensitivity test,the results of examination were judged according to NCCLS standard. RESULTS The Gram-negative bacilli accounted for 79.5%.The Gram-positive bacteria accounted for 20.5%.The predominant pathogens were Pseudomonas aeruginosa(19.6%),coagulase-negative Staphylococci(CNS)(18.7%),and acinetobacter lwoffi(11.6%).The resistant bacteria were markedly increasing. CONCLUSIONS The Gram-negative bacilli are the major pathogens in the senile deceased patients.The incidence of CNS infection is markedly increasing.The isolating rate of meticillin-resistant CNS is 100.0%.
