Objective:To investigate the adverse drug reactions ( ADR) caused by carbapenem antibiotics and discuss the influen-cing factors to provide reference for the rational use of carbapenems in clinics. Methods:The ADR caused by carbapenems from March 1, 2008 to August 1, 2014 in our hospital were statistically analyzed. Results:Totally 73 cases of ADR were caused by carbapenems. The number of ADR for men and women was similar. The ADR occurred in 80-year-old people with more frequency. The incidence of ADR on the first day of administration was relative high. The ADR were mainly manifested as skin and appendages disorders and nerve system damage. Conclusion: Great attention should be paid to the ADR of carbapenems and the state of patients. The medication should be adjusted in the patients with declined renal function and nerve system basic diseases in order to reduce the damage of ADR.

Objective To explore the correlation between the strength of trunk flexors and extensors obtained by isometric and isokinetic concentric tests. Methods The strength of trunk extensors and flexors were measured by isometric and isokinetic concentric tests during trunk flexion and extension in 50 healthy subjects, and the peak torque of flexion and extension (FPT and EPT) and the ratios of FPT/EPT were analyzed with correlation and regression analysis. Results The FPT and EPT of trunk flexors and extensors were positively correlated (r_F=0.827,P0.05, respectively), the regression equations of FPT and EPT were y^=8.158+1.097X and y^=-12.375+0.781X, respectively. Conclusion The isometric test of the trunk extensors and flexors could assess accurately the changes of the trunk muscle strength without aggravating pain and diseases. It is more reasonable to evaluate the stability of trunk with the FPT/EPT ratio at neutral position.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor and clopidogrel in patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CHD) and hyperhomocysteinemia (Hhcy).Methods:A total of 101 patients with CHD complicated with HHcy who had successfully undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were enrolled. They were divided into ticagrelor group ( n=49) and clopidogrel group ( n=52) according to the different antiplatelet drugs used. The clinical data of the two groups were collected, and the incidence of major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular adverse events (MACCE) and bleeding events in one year were compared between the two groups. Results:There was no statistical difference in baseline datas and PCI datas between the clopidogrel and ticagrelor groups ( P>0.05). Compared with clopidogrel group, ticagrelor can reduce the total MACCE (8.16% vs 32.69%, P<0.05) and the incidence of unstable angina pectoris events (0 vs 13.46%, P<0.05) in patients with hyperhomocysteinemia PCI 1 year after operation. The incidences of ischemic stroke, unstable angina pectoris, recurrent myocardial infarction, and cardiogenic death were compared separately between the two groups, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The incidence of major bleeding events, minor bleeding events, and minimal bleeding events were similar between the two groups, and the difference was not statistically significant (4.08% vs 0; 4.08% vs 1.92%; 20.41% vs 9.62%; P>0.05). Conclusions:In patients with CHD and Hhcy, ticagrelor can play a better antithrombotic effect, reduce the incidence of ischemic events, and has good security, which is more worthy of clinical recommendation.

This paper is aim to investigate the pharmacokinetics and absolute bioavailability of neoline in Beagle dogs, and provide a theoretical basis for further study. Ethyl acetate was used for liquid-liquid extracting after 10% ammonia alkalizing. The method of UPLC-Q-TOF-MS was established for the determination of neoline plasma concentrations. Beagle dogs were orally or intravenously administered with neoline for pharmacokinetic and absolute bioavailability study. Good linear relationship of neoline was found over the range of 0.1-4 mg x L(-1) (R2 = 0.9982) and 2-100 microg x L(-1) (R2 = 0.9945). Intra-and inter-day precision, expressed as the relativestandard (RSD) were less than 5.0%. Accuracy, expressed as the relative error (RE) was within 90.0%-115%. The recovery of neoline in dog plasma was more than 80%. After 6 mg x kg(-1) for ig and 1 mg x kg(-1) for iv administration of neoline, the main pharmacokinetic parameters were analyzed with Winnonlin software. t(1/2) were (313.88 +/- 63.18), (236.33 +/- 229.84) min, and AUC(0-infinity) were (58,027.40 +/- 14,132.69), (473,578.02 +/- 82,333.08) min x microg x L(-1) for ig and iv administration respectively. The absolute bioavail ability was (73.15 +/- 10.29) %. The method of UPLC-Q-TOF-MS described in the report was sensitive, reliable and specific, and suitable for pharmacokinetic study of neoline in Beagle dog. The high absolute bioavailability of neoline in dog suggested good absorption of neline which was worth of further investigation.

Grossly,the cut surface showed areas of solid and papillary tissue,cystic degeneration,hemorrhage,and necrosis.Pathological features included a combination of solid and cystic components with pseudopapillae formation and degenerative regions without glands.Conclusions SPT has its uniquely clinical and pathological characteristics.Its main diagnosed points are helpful for clinical doctors to make timely diagnosis and reduce the rate of misdiagnosis and mistreatment.

Objective To investigate the causations, management and prevention methods on the complications of hysteroscopic procedures. Methods Retrospective analysis of 36 cases with hysteroscopic complication, focusing on their characteristics and clinical management as well as prevention methods during the ten years from 1993 to 2004. Results Among 36 cases, 11 cases with uterine perforation and incomplete perforation, which happened during the complicated procedures, were treated by both laparoscopy and laparotomy. Five cases with heavy bleeding were encountered because of the deeply injury to the uterine wall and Foley catheter was inserted into uterine cavity and it stopped the bleeding successfully except in one case done by hysterectomy. Three cases with fluid overload syndrome were cured by using diuretic agent and saline infusion. There is no serious consequence in one case with air embolism due to prompt diagnosis and treatment. Four cases with postablation-sterilization syndrome were treated effectively by performing hysterectomy plus single or bilateral salpingectomy, dilating cervical canal as well as resecting adhesions. Twelve cases with adhesion inside uterine cavity followed hysteroscopy were also treated by dilating cervical canal, underwent adhesionlysis and hysterectomy. Conclusions The potential factors causing complications of hysteroscopy include complicated procedures inside uterine cavity, higher pressure of irrigation, deep injury of endometrium as well as incomplete removal of endometrium during hysteroscopic operations. It is the necessary measures to reduce the complications by performing laparoscopy or B ultrasound monitoring simultaneously, standardizing the procedure and strengthening postoperation management.

Objective To study the factors affecting the synthesis of 18F-MyoZone,and to evaluate its potential as a myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) agent in normal Chinese mini-swine.Methods 18F-MyoZone was prepared by substituting the leaving group toluenesulfonyloxy (OTs) from the precursor compound with 18F-fluoride (18F-F-).The conditions affecting the labeling yield were studied by varying the amount of K2CO3 and precursor compound,18F-fluorination reaction time and temperature.PET was performed at 5,30,60 and 120 min post-injection on normal Chinese mini-swine.Results The doses of K2CO3 and precursor,the reaction time and the reaction temperature could affect the labeling yield of 18F-MyoZone,especially K2CO3.The optimized synthetic condition was 1.0 mg K2CO3,2.0 mg mpp2-OTs,20 min reaction time at 90 ℃.The total radio-synthesis time in this condition was 60 min.The uncorrected radiochemical yield was (24.0±5.1) ％.The radiochemical purity was ＞98％.PET imaging showed that 18F-MyoZone had high initial uptake (SUV=8.17± 1.83 at 5 min post-injection) and good retention (SUV =5.78±0.99 at 120 min post-injection) in the heart.The clearance of 18F-MyoZone from liver was very fast.The heart/liver ratios were 3.32,5.31,6.09 and 5.76 at 5,30,60 and 120 min post-injection,respectively.From 5 to 120 min post-injection,the outline of heart was clear and intact.There was almost no interference from the adjacent organs.The quality of PET images was highly satisfactory.Conelusions 18 F-MyoZone has the potential to be a good myocardial perfusion agent.The amount of K2CO3 used could significantly affect the labeling yield of 18F-MyoZone.
