OBJECTIVE:To analyze the effects of different disinfectants on results of antibiotics skin test,and to improve the accuracy of the judgment results of antibiotics skin test. METHODS:1 500 patients undergoing antibiotics skin test of penicillin and cephalosporin were randomly divided into group A and group B with 750 patients in each group. Group A was given 75% etha-nol disinfection,and group B was given iodine disinfection. The incidence of false positive results were compared after disinfected with 2 kinds of disinfectants. RESULTS:The incidence of false positive result in group B was lower than in group A,with statisti-cally significant difference (χ2=10.004,P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:For skin disinfection of antibiotics skin test,iodine is better and safer than 75%ethanol.

Objective Investigate the efficacy of Plaix and Aspirine on treating the patients with progressive cerebral infarction.Methods 92 patients with progressive cerebral infarction were randomly divided into unite therapy group(n=46) and control groups(n=46).Two groups were taken the conventional therapy.In the patients of unite therapy group,oral Plaix 75 mg and Aspirine 150 mg per day,control group oral Aspirine 150 mg per day.Clinical neural deficiency score(NDS) was given before and 30 d after treatment for comparison and measur blood solidifying function and Heraorheological indexes.Results Total effective rate in the unite therapy group(93%)was significant higher than that in the control group(74%)(P

Objective To explore the relationship between the posterior circulation ischemia(PCI) and vertebrobasilar artery lesion.Methods 57 patients with PCI(PCI group) were examined by DCE-MRA for their craniocervical artery,and the results were compared with the stroke inpatients but non-PCI during the same period(non-PCI group).Results The abnormal rate of vertebrobasilar artery in PCI group(70.2%)was significantly higher than that in non-PCI group(50.7%)(P

Objective To observe clinical effect of hyperoxia solution in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction(ACI).Methods 218 cases of ACI were divided randamly into hyperoxia solution therapy group(group H,n=116)and conventional therapy group(group C,n=102).500 ml hyperoxia solution were intravenously dripped in group H once per day,and the other conventional therapy were the same in two groups.The course of treatment for the two groups were 20 days.Results After treatment,the general effective rate of group H(84.4%)was significantly higher than that of group C(72.54%)(P

Objective To evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine on postoperative cognitive function in the aged patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy.Methods Forty patients,aged 65-80 yr,of ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,scheduled for elective carotid endarterectomy,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =20 each):control group (group C) and dexmedetomidine group (group DEX).Anesthesia was induced with midazolam,etomidate,fentanyl and rocuronium.The patients were tracheally intubated.In group DEX,a loading dose of dexmedetomidine 0.03 μg· kg-1 ·min-1 was infused intravenously for 10 min starting from the time point before induction,and dexmedetomidine 0.30μg· kg-1 ·min-1 was infused until 30 min before the end of operation starting from the end of intubation.The equal volume of normal saline was given instead of dexmedetomidine in group C.At 1 day before operation (To) and 6 and 24 h after operation (T1.2),venous blood samples were collected for determination of serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) concentrations.The cognitive function of the patients was assessed using Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) at To,T2,and 48 h,72 h,7days and 1 month after operation (T3-6).Results Compared with the baseline value at T0,the serum BDNFconcentrations were significantly increased at T1 in the two groups,MMSE scores were decreased at T2,3 in groupC,and MMSE scores were decreased,and the serum BDNF concentrations were increased at T2 in group DEX.Compared with group C,the MMSE scores were significantly increased at T3.4,the serum BDNF concentrations were increased at T2,and no significant change was found in MMSE scores at T5.6 in group DEX.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine is helpful in improving postoperative cognitive function and in promoting the recovery of postoperative cognitive function,and the mechanism may be related to enhanced production of endogenous BDNF in the aged patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy.

It has been found by Ju('81)that HRP could be anterogradely transported forlong distances.Based on this fact the rate of anterograde transport was investigatedin the present study,and,at the same time,the rate of retrograde transport and thetime of disappearance of HRP from the labeled sites were observed.Twenty tworabbits,weighing 2～2.2 kg,were used.The HRP was injected into the lower lumbarspinal cord unilaterally.The animals were sacrificed after 12 hours to 7 days andwere processed with benzidine and o-dianisidine.The anterogade labeling in the dorsalaccessory olivary nucleus and the retrograde labeling in the red nucleus and thenucleus raphe pallidus were chosen for study.It was quite unexpected to find that the anterograde and retrograde labelingsparalled each other in time as well as in intensity.They appeared at the same timeand waxed and waned practically in full accord.Labeling of the brainstem firstappeared at 18 hour's survival,reached its peak at the 2nd day,and then graduallyfaded away till at the 7th day when only traces of labeling remained.In the casewhich showed the earliest labeling the distance between the injection site and theobex,which was at about the same level as the most densely labeled parts of thedorsal accessory olivary nucleus and nucleus raphe pallidus,was measured to be 265mm and the rate of transport,the same for anterograde and retrograde transports,was calculated to be more than 350mm per day.Counting from the time of theearliest labeling,HRP was found to remain at the labeled site for as long as 5～6 days.The period of net accumulation of HRP at the labeled sites was about 1 day.Thus,the best survival period would be roughly the time required for HRP to travel thefiber tract plus 1 day.Neurons of the red nucleus and the nucleus raphe pallidus differ greatly intheir morphology,physiology as well as biochemistry.The results in them however,were similar.This,in connection with observations on other nuclei,both anterogr-adely and retrogradely labeled,suggests that the rate of transport and the duration ofpreservation of HRP in the central nervous system are basically the same in differentneuronal systems.
