Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of terbinafine in the treatment of complicated vulvovaginal candidiasis.MethodsA case of 100 patients with complicated vulvovaginal candidiasis treated in our hospital from January 2015 to December 2016, were randomly divided into treatment group (terbinafine) and the control group (fluconazole),each 50 cases,the treatment cycle is four weeks, the therapeutic effect of two groups was observed.ResultsIn the treatment group 45 cases cured, three cases were markedly effective, two cases effective, the total effective rate was 96%;In the control group 41 cases cured, three cases were markedly effective, six cases effective, the total effective rate was 88%.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant.(P<0.01).ConclusionTerbinafine treatment of complicated vulvovaginal candidiasis was significant.

Objective To study the effects of intrathecally administered morphine and ketamine on nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity and nitric oxide content in the spinal cord.Methods Thirty-two male Wistar rats weighing 220-260 g were anesthetized with intraperitoneal chloral hydrate 300 mg?kg-1 . A catheter was implanted in subarachnoid space at lumbal region. Sciatic constriction injury (SCI) was produced by loose ligation of right sciatic nerve trunk with 4-0 cutgut. On the 4th postoperative day the animals were randomly divided into four groups of 8 animals :(1) control group (C); (2) morphine group (M);(3) ketamine group (K) and morphine-ketamine group (KM) . Morphine 20 ?g / ketamine 20 ?g / morphine 10 ?g + ketamine 10 ?g were injected intrathecally every day for 7 consecutive days in group M, K and KM. In control group normal saline was injected intrathecally instead of morphine and / or ketamine. The withdrawal latenvies to radiant heat focused on plantar surface were measured as radiant heat threshold before intrathecal administration of the analgesic (baseline) and 30 min after intrathecal administration of ketamine and / or morphine every day for 7consecutive days. The percentage of maximal possible effect ( MPE % ) was calculated : MPE % = (latency after intrathecal administration-baseline latency) / (radiant heat cut-off time-baseline latency) X 100% . After 7 days of intrathecal administration the animals were decapitated and the spinal cord was immediately removed and the lumbal spinal cord was dissected on ice. NOS activity and nitric oxide ( NO) content were measured by spectrophotometry. Results MPE % was significantly higher in group M and KM than in group C and K ( P

Objective To investigate the effects and safety of the treatment of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH)in refractoriness heart failure with renal insufficiency patients.Methods 35 hospitalized patients of refractori- ness heart failure with renal insufficiency were chosen from 2001 to 2006,25 patients were treated by CVVH,and other 10 patients were treated by regular hemodialysis.The serum BUN,Cr,left ventricle ejection fraction(LVEF),were observed before and after the therapy in each group.Results The clinical symptom were obviously improved in Group HF,and LVEF,cardiac output(CO) were both increased by continuous hemofiltration treatment(P

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the value of serum procalcitonin(PCT) levels for differentiating Gram-positive and-negative bacteria infected critically ill patients in intensive care unit(ICU). METHODS Serum PCT levels were measured in 80 patients with sepsis and severe sepsis in ICU.Of the 80 patients,40 were infected with Gram-positive bacteria and 40 were infected with Gram-negative bacteria.Another 40 patients with fungi or viruses infection or non-infection from ICU were measured in parallel as control. RESULTS Serum levels of PCT in patients with Gram-negative bacteria were significantly higher than in those with Gram-positive bacteria and control ones(18.5?5.8ng/ml vs 3.9?2.1ng/ml and 0.3?0.2 ng/ml,respectively,P

The main difficulties and disputable problems on develping the national standard Standardized Manipulation of Acupuncture and Moribustion, Part 3: Auricular Acupuncture are debated in this paper from the three aspects of its meaning, scientific basis and key point. The difficult points mainly include manipulation standandization of auricular acupuncture, basis and science of the standards stipulated, selection of technical terms and definition, and why only the four kinds of manipulations are used for auricular acupuncture. Finally, the authors suggest that the Standardized Manipulation of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Part 3: Auricular Acupuncture needs further to be studied and improved.

A RP-HPLC method was developed to evaluate the quality of Picrasmae Ramulus et Folium by simultaneous determination of five constituents including 1-hydroxymethyl-beta-carboline (1), 1-methoxicabony-beta-carboline (2), 4-methoxy-5-hydroxy-canthin-6-one (3), 4, 5-dimethoxy-canthin-6-one (4) and maackiain (5) in Picrasmae Ramulus et Folium. The samples were separated on a Kromasil RP-C18 (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm) column eluted with acetonitrile and 0.1% phosphoric acid as mobile phases in gradient mode. The detection wavelength was set at 254 nm. The calibration curves and linearity of the above five standards were determined as (1) Y = 6 525.6X + 37.25 (0.009-1.780 microg, r = 0.996 8), (2) Y = 3 662.3X + 41.55 (0.005-0.920 microg, r = 0.999 5), (3) Y = 3763.1X + 146.87 (0.015-3.060 microg, r = 0.999 0), (4) Y = 2 174.1X + 21.52 (0.003-0.620 microg, r = 0.999 5), and (5) Y = 276.25X + 7.65 (0.010-1.960 microg, r = 0.998 9), respectively. The method is simple and repeatable, and can be used for the quality assessment of Picrasmae Ramulus et Folium.

OBJECTIVETo establish a rapid gas chromatographic method for determination of o-chlorostyrene in the air of workplace.

METHODThe air samples were collected by syringes, injected directly to the GC system, and then separated by a FFAP capillary column (30 m × 0.53 mm × 0.25 µm), finally determined by a Flame Ionization Detector.

RESULTSA good linear correlation was showed within a range of 0 ∼ 1200 µg/L, with regression formula Y = 14 030 + 7 207X (r = 0.9999). The air sample could be stably stored in the syringe for 5 hrs. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of repeated injection of o-chlorostyrene standard solutions at three different concentration by six times was 1.28% ∼ 1.97%. The minimum detectable concentration was calculated to be 5.2 mg/m(3). Other coexistent violative organic compounds such as styrene, p-chlorostyrene, and m-chlorostyrene didn't interfere with the determination under the experimental conditions of this method.

CONCLUSIONThis method meets the requirement of "Guide for establishing occupational health standards-Part 4: Determination methods of air chemicals in workplace". It is applicable for determination of o-chlorostyrene in the air of workplace.
