Objective To compare the difference in pharmacokinetics characteristics of vancomycin in cerebrospinal fluid between administration by continuous infusion and interim infusion.Methods Twenty postoperative patients in the Department of Neurosurgery of Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University admitted into intensive care unit (ICU) to receive vancomycin for prophylaxis of intracranial infection were enrolled, and they were randomly distributed to a continuous intravenous infusion group and a interim intravenous infusion group, each group 10 cases. In continuous intravenous infusion group, the patients received a loading dose of vancomycin (15 mg/kg) by continuous intravenous pump infusion for 1 - 2 hours followed by 30 mg/kg vancomycin in a constant pump infusion rate for 24 hours; while in interim intravenous infusion group, the patients received 15 mg/kg vancomycin administered by intravenous pump infusion for 1 - 2 hours, once every 12 hours. The concentration of vancomycin in the cerebrospinal fluid at different time points was measured by two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) method, the parameters of pharmacokinetics were calculated in the two groups, and the adverse reaction was observed.Results The comparison between the ratio of areas under the concentration-time curves (AUC) and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the continuous and interim groups showed no significant difference (19.7±14.0 vs. 16.1±6.4,P > 0.05). However, in the continuous intravenous infusion group, the drug concentration reached the peak value (0.96± 0.77)μg/mL at 12 hours, and later revealed a plateau concentration 0.91-0.93μg/mL for 12 hours; while in the intravenous infusion interim group, the drug concentration reached the peak value (0.92±0.47)μg/mL at 16 hours, in the later 2 hours declined to (0.84±0.45)μg/mL, and afterwards still had a tendency of persistent declination. In all the patients, no any adverse reaction related to the drug occurred.Conclusion Continuous intravenous infusion and interim intravenous infusion of vancomycin for the postoperative neurosurgical patients without intracranial infection have the similar efficacy of medication, but the former can achieve the peak concentration faster and later the fluctuation of drug concentration in cerebrospinal fluid is smaller than those in the latter.

Objective To study the effects of protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylation site' s mutation of mitofusin-2 (Mfn2) on intimal proliferation after balloon injury of carotid artery of rats. Method Rat model of carotid artery balloon injury was established and infected with Adv-LacZ, Adv-Mfn2, AdvMfn2-S442A or Adv-Mfn2-S442D from the peri-arterial sheathes of vessels, while phosphate buffered solution (PBS) used instead of above infectious adenovirus as uninfected group and sham operation as control group. The rats were sacrificed 14 days after balloon injury of carotid artery in order to measure the level of Mfn2 protein and the prol9iferation cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) with immunohistochemistry staining. The morphology of vessels was observed with HE staining. All data were statistically analyzed with ANOVA and Dunnett-t test. Results Fourteen days after surgery, the levels of Mfn2 protein significantly increased in arteries infected with Adv-Mfn2, Adv-Mfn2-S4442A and Adv-Mfn2-S442D compared with those in control group, sham operation group and Adv-LacZ infected group. The ratio of intimal area/medial area (I/M) and percentage of PCNA positive cells in both Adv-Mfn2 and Adv-Mfn2-S442A groups markedly decreased compared with control group (P <0. 01 ) . Compared with the Adv-Mfn2 group, the I/M and the percentage of PCNA positive cells reduced more significantly in Adv-S442A group (P < 0. 01 ) . However,the I/M and the percentage of PCNA positive cells in Adv-LacZ and Adv-S442D groups were not significantly different from those found in the control group. Conclusions The over-expression of Mfn2 gene may effectively inhibit intimal proliferation after balloon injury of carotid artery of rats. The inhibitory effects of Mfn2-S442A are more obvious than those of Mfn2. However, the Mfn2-S442D is out of the inhibitory effect on neo-intimal proliferation.
