Objective: To evaluate the rationality of the use of antibiotic prophylaxis in the perioperative period of herniorrhaphy. Methods: Seventy-five cases of herniorrhaphy discharged in March, June and September of 2009 were collected. Parameters including indications, the types of antibacterial drugs, time of administration, solvent choice, usage and dosage, combination, etc, were assessed for the rationality according to the "the guiding principles of clinical use of antibacterial drugs"and other relevant documents. Results: The antibacterial drugs application rate was 100%, while the rationali-ty of the drug selection, the drug administration route, the single dose and the number of dosing, was 70.7%, 100% , 100% and 93.3% respectively. Sixty-two patients(82.7%)were treated with antibacterial drugs at 0.5～2 hours before surgery, and the average time course of the prophylactic use of antibiotics after surgery was 2.3 days. Conclusions: Some problems existed for the use of antibiotic prophylaxis in the perioperative period of herniorrhaphy. Surgeon should ensure the correct use of the antibacterial drugs to make the safety, efficiency, rationality, and economy for the patients.

The ralationship between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and intestinal microecology is increasingly being given more and more attention. Combined with the devolopment of intestinal microecology disciplines, effects of TCM on regulation of intestinal microecology have been gradually explained. Both clinical studies and animal experiments have confirmed that TCM can maintain the balance of intestinal microecology and regulate the intestinal flora. The author arrangemented the documents related to Chinese herbal compound adjusting intestinal flora in the recent ten years, summarized that the Chinese herbal compound which can strength spleen and replenish Qi, relax bowels and regulate Qi, dissipate dampness and check diarrhea, clear away heat and toxic materials, promote digestion and relieve stasis had certain regulation effects on intestinal microecology, providing basis for revealing the TCM essence of intestinal microecology.

Objective To study the expressions of casein kinase 2α(Ck2α),β-catenin, survivin in ovarian cancer tissue and analyze the relationships between them, and to explore the clinical application value. Methods Immunohistochemistry staining was used to detect the expressions of Ck2α,β-catenin and survivin in 8 cases of simple ovarian cysts tissue,8 cases of ovarian benign tumor tissue and 29 cases of ovarian cancer tissue;the correlations of the expressions of Ck2α,β-catenin,survivin in ovarian cancer tissue and their associations with the clinicopathologic characteristics were analyzed.Results The expression levels of Ck2α,β-catenin and survivin in ovarian cancer tissue were significantly higher than those in simple ovarian cysts tissue and ovarian benign tumor tissue(P<0.05);the Ck2αexpression level in ovarian cancer tissue was positively corelated with the expression levels ofβ-catenin and survivin(r=0.438,r=0.479,P<0.05);the expression levels of Ck2α,β-catenin and survivin in low-medium differentiation group were significantly higher than those in high differentiation group (P<0.05);the expression levels of Ck2α,β-catenin and survivin in stagesⅡandⅢ group were significantly higher than those in stage Ⅰ group(P<0.05).Conclusion The protein expression levels of Ck2α,β-catenin and survivin are increased in ovarian cancer tissue, and three are positive corelations between them;Ck2α,β-catenin and survivin may play an important role in the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer;the combined detection of them has important clinical value.

Sleep disorders are commonly occurred among patients with Parkinson's disease,such as difficulties in the initiation of sleep,fragmented sleep,sleep behavior disorder and excessive daytime sleepiness.The mechanism of sleep disorders associated with Parkinson's disease is not clear,which may be associated with the injury of brain stem,nuclei of median raphe,nuclei fasciculi solitarii,thalamencephalon and the changes of neurotransmitters as dopamine,hypocretin(orexin) and melatonin.This article gives an overview of the mechanism of sleep disorders associated with Parkinson's disease.

Objective: To investigate the immune response induced by Cysticercus cellulosae protective antigen cC1 DNA vaccine in mice and the protective immunity induced by immunized newborn pigs. Methods: Recombined plasmid p3 cC1 was constructed by inserting full length cC1 cDNA into an eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3. Mice were injected intramuscularly with the recombined construct. Anti cC1 antibody and IgG 2a in serum were screened by ELISA. Then the protective immunization in pigs was done. Results: The immune response of specific antibody was induced during the 3r week. The highest level was during the 8th week. IgG 2a response was detected during the 2nd week. The higher duration of IgG 2a response induced by DNA vaccine was longlived. The protective rate induced in immunized newborn pigs was 73%. Conclusion: The cC1 DNA vaccine can effectively induce protective immunity in newborn pigs.

Objective: To design the ribozymes to cleave human TIMP 1 mRNA, and embed them into U 6snRNA to make them stable. Methods: Ribozymes were designed according to the “hammerhead structure” described by Symons.Computer was used to analyze the possible cleavage sites. Results: Three ribozymes targeting the nt123, nt299 and nt353 on TIMP 1 mRNA were designed. Embedding ribozyme in U 6snRNA had little effect on its binding with the substrate. Conclusion: Computer assisted design is indispensable in studying ribozyme. Embedding ribozymes in U 6snRNA may be a good way to solve the problems existing in ribozyme study. [

Objective To determine relationships between daily activities measured as modified version of Pulmonary Functional status and Dyspnea Questionaire (PFSDQ-M) and functional capacity and symptoms experienced in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Convenience sample of 94 COPD patients with stable condition were assessed by interview with PFSDQ-M Chinese version and modified Medical Research council dyspnea scale (MMRC) respectively. Pulmonary function test (PFT) and 6-minute walking test (6MWT) were undergone on the same day or within one week as interview. PFSDQ-M has three subscales,i.e.,change experienced by patient with activities (CA),dyspnea with activities (DA) and fatigue with activities (FA). Results Scores of CA,DA and FA correlated to 6-minute walking distancer= (-0.37)- (-0.42),FEV_1 r=(-0.27)-(-0.32),FEV_1/FVC r= (-0.27)- (-0.32),dyspnea rated by MMRC (r=0.55-0.60) and BODE index (r=0.35-0.40),respectively (all P<0.01). dyspnea explained 26% of the variance in changes of activities. Conclusions Physical activities moderately changed in patients with stable COPD;Dyspnea is the best predictor of limitation of daily activities.
