OBJECTIVE To investigate the application of antibacterials in patients accepted operation in grass-roots(hospitals),so to standardize the application of antibacterials and cut down the medical cost.METHODS Full-time administrators for nosocomial infection investigated the application of antibacterials in patients who accepted(operation) in Sep 2004,and filled in the questionnaires.RESULTS In 1 383 cases of 11 hospitals the application rate of antibacterials was 98.63%;in which 86.50% were for prophylactic usage and 13.50% for therapeutic usage;(29.90%) for single antibiotics treatment and 50.15% for bigeminy,18.70% were for trigeminy.Time of(application) differentiated(6.90,7.00,6.60d) fromⅠto Ⅲ kinds of operation.Per capita cost of antibacterials was $956.50(47.60%).CONCLUSIONS High cost of antibacterials results from such factors as multiple kinds,long time and(combined) application.

Objective To investigate the effects of minocycline on cell viability and neurite outgrowth of pheochromocytoma cells (PC12) after oxygen‐glucose deprivation(OGD) injury .Methods PC12 cells were exposed to OGD insult for 2 ,4 ,6 ,8 h to estab‐lish a cerebral ischemia model in vitro .High‐differentiated PC12 cells were cultivated and randomly divided into three groups :con‐trol group ,OGD group and various doses of minocycline(0 .1 ,1 .0 ,10 .0 μM) treated group .24 h after OGD‐reperfusion ,PC12 cells viability was assessed by CCK‐8 assay ,the neurite was labeled with MAP‐2 by immunofluorescence and neurite length was meas‐ured by the Image‐Pro Plus 7 .0 software ,GAP‐43 protein expression was determined by Western blotting .Results Compared to the OGD groups ,minocycline induced a concentration‐dependent increase in cells viability [(46 .1 ± 2 .9)% vs .(77 .0 ± 2 .5)% ,P<0.01],improvedneuriteoutgrowthandincreasedtheexpressionofGAP‐43proteininPC12cellsafterOGDinjury([(0.34±0.04) vs .(2 .11 ± 0 .10) ,P<0 .01] .Conclusion Minocycline could protect against oxygen glucose deprivation injury and promote neurite outgrowth .This finding suggests minocycline may be a novel therapy for cerebral ischemia .

Objective To investigate whether arsenic trioxide(As2O3)with different density is capable of affecting the invasiveness of neuroblastoma(NB)cells,and to give grounds for NB therapy with As2O3.Methods 1.Well-developed NB cells were selected and exposed to 0.75 ?mol/L,1.50 ?mol/L,3.0 ?mol/L As2O3 for 24 h;2.Collect the adherence cells,count the number and float them in nutrient medium again,add them into the transwell polycarbonate membrane plate that was covered by matrigel,there were 2?104 NB cells in each well;3.After 24 h,take off the membrane,fix the cells which cross the membrane with mehanol and dye them with hematoxylin;4.Observe the NB cells and count them,so the capability of invasion of LA-N-5 was evaluated by transwell chamber assay.Results After 24 h with the different density As2O3,the number of invading LA-N-5 cells was significantly lower in As2O3 group than that in control group(the number of invading cells of the As2O3 group was 28.0?4.0,19.33?4.16,6.33?1.53,respectively,the cell number of the control group was 46.33?6.11)(P=0.013,0.003,0);among the experiment groups,there was no difference between 0.75 ?mol/L and 1.50 ?mol/L(P=0.06),and it was significantly different between 0.75 ?mol/L and 3.0 ?mol/L,1.50 ?mol/L and 3.0 ?mol/L(P=0,0.007),the number of invading LA-N-5 cells of 3.0 ?mol/L As2O3 was the least.Conclusions As2O3 could inhibit the invasive potential of NB cells;the inhibitory action of 3.0 ?mol/L As2O3 is the most.

Since 1970's , lots of studies on biodegradation of chloroanilines (CAS) have been done, especially, in these aspects: spieces and capability of the microbes; metabolic pathway; gene cloning, expression of degradation plas-mid and pivotal metabolic emzymes. It is necessary for us to review the study on biodegradation of chloroanilines in order to summarize some useful results and the problems in this study.

After 28 foreign species of AM fungi were inoculated in sterilized soil, the effects of the AM mycorrhizal colonization and the medicine quality of Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis were observed by combination of inoculation test in pot at room temperature and instrumental analysis. The results showed that, compared with control group (CK), the inoculation of foreign AM fungi in the soil influenced the spore density, mycorrhizal infection rate, and colonization intensity of AM fungi in root system of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis. The inoculation of foreign AM fungi enhanced the mycorrhiza viability of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis by increasing the activity of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in intraradical hyphae. The content of single steroid saponin in rhizome of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis showed variation after P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis was inoculated by different foreign species of AM fungi, which was beneficial for increasing the medicine quality; however, the kinds of steroid saponin showed no difference. In a degree, there was a selectivity of symbiosis between P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis and foreign AM fungi. And we found that the Claroideoglomus claroideum and Racocetra coralloidea were best foreign AM fungi species for cultivating P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis under field condition.

The study on the pharmacokinetics of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) is a linking science during the modernization of TCMs, and plays an important role in the studies on the complex material base of TCMs, the in vivo process of ingredient/ component and the pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics correlation. However, because of the multi-ingredient/component system of TCMs, how to scientifically reveal the pharmacokinetics that is consistent with TCMs' characteristics has long been a hotspot and difficulty for the exploration. The optimal composition structure of the material basis of TCMs shows the best efficacy, while the difference between the multi-ingredient/component composition structures in the efficacy is closely related to their absorption, transport, metabolism and excretion in vivo. In this article, the authors systematically review the study methods for pharmacokinetics of TCMs and their compounds, and explore the pharmacokinetics of TCMs based on the "component structure theory". As a result, the method for integrating TCM component structure and the TCM pharmacokinetics was proposed to be adopted to intensively study the effect of the component structure on the in vivo TCM multi-ingredient/component pharmacokinetic characteristics, in order to promote the TCM modernization and innovation in China.

Objective To analyze the investigation results of an acute respiratory infection outbreak caused by adenovirus and provide scientific information for the prevention and control of congener public health emergencies .Methods A case‐control study was performed with grades and gender as matching factor ,all cases and selected controls were investigated with the same question‐naire .Results A totul of 47 cases were diagnosed in the outbreak ,no death ,the attack rate was 8 .88% ;the main clinical symptom was fever and 27 .7% of the cases became pneumonia .The case‐control study analysis demonstrated that with close contact to cases or not(χ2 =7 .96 ,P<0 .05) ,contact time (χ2 =7 .95 ,P<0 .05) ,hand washing habits (χ2 =25 .92 ,P<0 .05) and with or without the habit of cleaning snivel by hand directly (χ2 =22 .78 ,P<0 .05) were statistically different between cases and controls .Conclu‐sion long‐time contact to cases maybe the main risk factor for the adenovirus infection ,especially the contact manner were sharing the same desk or playing together .A good health habit of washing hands often and no cleaning snivel by hand directly were impor‐tant protective factors .Thus ,strengthening the training of health habit and awareness is the important preventive measure for re‐spiratory infectious diseases .
