Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2017;24(16):2520-2524
Objective To investigate the effects of dopamine combined with norepinephrine on blood lactate and inflammatory factors in elderly patients with severe septic shock.Methods 120 elderly patients with severe septic shock were randomly divided into control group and observation group,60 cases in each group.The control group was treated with dopamine.The observation group was treated with norepinephrine on the basis of the control group at the same time.The treatment was evaluated 48 h after treatment.The changes of heart rate(HR),mean arterial pressure(MAP),central venous pressure(CVP),blood lactate(Lac),urine output,central venous oxygen saturation(SC-VO2),tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α),C-reactive protein(CRP),serum calcitonin(PCT),cardiac function index(CI),peripheral vascular resistance index(SVRI)and extravascular lung water index(ELVWI)were observed before and after treatment for 48h.Results After treatment,the HR of the patients of the two groups decreased,there was no significant difference between before and after treatment in the control group(t=1.551,P=0.062),HR of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group and before treatment,the differences were statistically significant(t=15.847,14.960,all P=0.00).The MAP of the control group and the observation group after treatment were higher than those of before treatment(t=32.949,44.344,all P=0.00),and CVP were higher than before treatment(t=12.620,18.959,all P=0.00),urine volume increased significantly compared with before treatment(t=83.213,94.562,all P=0.00),and SC-VO2 were higher than those of before treatment(t=36.589,42.899,all P=0.00),Lac were lower than before treatment(t=15.653,24.016,all P=0.00).The improve degree of HR,MAP,CVP,Lac,urine volume,SC-VO2 of the observation group were higher than those of the control group(t=14.960,15.267,4.857,7.022,20.395,5.704,all P=0.00).The TNF-α levels of the control group and the observation group were lower than those of before treatment(t=13.300,33.004,all P=0.00),the CRP decreased significantly compared with before treatment(t=24.759,24.756,all P=0.00),the PCT were lower than those of before treatment(t=15.235,26.693,all P=0.00),the TNF-α,CRP and PCT of the observation group were decreased more significantly compared with the control group(t=17.470,6.079,10.550,all P=0.00).The CI of the control group and the observation group was higher than before treatment(t=16.050,34.124,all P=0.00),the SVRI were higher than those of before treatment(t=60.357,68.434,all P=0.00),the ELVWI were lower than those of before treatment(t=4.523,8.013,all P=0.00),the CI,SVRI,ELVWI of the observation group were improved more significantly than those of the control group(t=13.176,12.483,2.100,all P=0.00).Conclusion Dopamine combined with norepinephrine can improve the vital signs of patients with severe septic shock,reduce the concentration of lactate in blood,improve the level of inflammatory factors,and heart index.However,due to the subjective factors such as the size of the subject,the lack of research,the future study can increase the sample size to demonstrate the above speculation.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a rapid,sensitive,accurate and stable method for the determination of voriconazole in human plasma in order to monitor clinical use of voriconazole. METHODS:HPLC-UV detection method was applied using carba-mazepine as internal standard. Plasma samples were treated with acetonitrile protein precipitation. The determination was performed on Phecda C18 column with 20 mmol/L monopotassium phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.0)-acetonitrile (50∶50,V/V) as mobile phase at flow rate of 1 ml/min. The column temperature was 40℃ and detection wavelength was 255 nm. The injection volume was 50 μl. RESULTS:The retention time of voriconazole and internal standard were 8.34 and 6.24 min. The linear range of voricon-azole in plasma were 0.10-20.00 μg/ml(r=0.999 5). The lowest limit of quantitation was 0.05 μg/ml. Intra-day and inter-day RSD were below 1.57% and 1.45%,respectively. The extraction recovery of low,medium and high concentrations were between 81.40%to 128.29%. CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple and accurate for therapeutic drug monitoring(TDM)of voriconazole.

PurposeAs a main method to detect thyroid nodules, ultrasonography seems to have a rather low accuracy in differentiating benign and malignant ones. The present study aims to explore the diagnostic value of thyroid imaging reporting and data system (TI-RADS) in identifying benign and malignant thyroid nodules.Materials and Methods A total of 168 patients with thyroid nodules conifrmed pathologically (with 251 suspicious nodules) underwent ultrasonography and were further grouped into category 3-5 according to TI-RADS classiifcation standard. The results were retrospectively compared with histopathological ifndings. The sensitivity, speciifcity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of TI-RADS classiifcation in the diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules were calculated, and the differences in ultrasonic features between benign and malignant thyroid nodules were also compared.Results The surgical and pathological findings showed that 94 nodules were benign and 157 were sinister; TI-RADS regarded 93 nodules were benign and 185 were malignant. The difference of the two means of identification was significant (χ2=149.6,P<0.01). The sensitivity, speciifcity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of TI-RADS were 91.2% (144/157), 85.1% (80/94), 89.3% (224/251), 91.2% (144/158) and 86.0% (80/93), respectively. The ultrasonic manifestations of benign and malignant nodules were signiifcantly different with regard to aspect ratio, echogenicity, shape, calciifcation inside the nodule (χ2=8.7-121.4,P<0.01).Conclusion TI-RADS classiifcation standards have a high accuracy in the differentiation of benign and malignant thyroid nodules as a means of ultrasound examination, and thus can serve as an important guiding method in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the immunogenicity of mycobacteriophage D29 (phage D 29) in guinea pig models with different delivery routes,and provide information for the application of phages in tuberculosis (TB) therapy.Methods Hartley guinea pigs were administrated with phage D29 through inhalation,intranasal drop or subcutaneous injection for 6 times within 35 days.7H9 broth aerosol inhalation and 0.85 % NaCl solution aerosol inhalation were set as solvent and negative controls,respectively.Anti-phage D29 neutralizing antibodies in sera collected weekly were measured by phage reduction neutralizing test (PRNT) and cytokine levels (interleukin-2,interleukin-4 and interferon-γ) were detected at day 35 by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The data were analyzed by ANOVA and nonparametric test.ResultsNeutralizing antibodies were both negative in two control groups,while low-titer neutralizing antibodies (below 1 ∶ 100) appeared in inhalation and intranasal drop groups only at day 7 and day 14. Nevertheless, neutralizing antibodies were continuously detected in subcutaneous injection group,which increased rapidly and reached 1∶ 16 365.6 at day 35. After 35 days of experiments,serum concentrations of interleukin-2 (x2 =2.7605,P>0.05),interleukin-4 (F=2.17,P>0.05) and interferon-γ(F=0.75,P>0.05) among three treatment groups and two control groups were all not significantly different.ConclusionsThe titer of anti-phage 29 neutralizing antibodies induced by inhalation or intranasal drop administration of phage D29 are both significantly lower than subcutaneous injection.Phage D29 administration doesn’t change the levels of cytokines,which indicates that it may not break the helper T cell (Th)1/Th2 balance.

OBJECTIVETo study the effects of PEG stress on baicalin, baicalein accumulation induced by an increased concentration of PEG solution and the related genes' expression in suspension of Scutellaria baicalensis.
METHODThe content of baicalin, baicalein in suspension of S. baicalensis was determined by HPLC. The related genes' expression was analyzed by semi-quantitative PCR.
RESULTThe content of proline in suspension of S. baicalensis was promoted by PEG treatment. Ten percent PEG treatment promoted the expression of PAL and the content of baicalein in experimental material via a drought stress. 20% PEG solution treatment promoted the expression of UBGAT. At the same time, the increased activity of APX inhibited the progress of eliminating reactive oxygen by baicalein, which induced the transformation from baicalein to baicalin.
CONCLUSIONActive ingredient in suspension of S. baicalensis was promoted significantly via a stress of light concentration of PEG solution.
