Objective To observe the effects of exogenous sodium phosphocreatine (PCr) on cerebral repeffusion injury of rats after ischemia in order to explore the potential mechanism. Method Thirty-six healthy adult male Wistar rats with body weight 200- 220 g were randomly (random number) divided into sham operation group, ischemic reperfusion (I/R) group and PCr treatment group. The I/R model was established by using electro-cauterizing bilateral vertebral arteries and occluding bilateral common carotid arteries with atraumatic carotid clasps for 10 min, and then the clasps were released for 48 hours reperfusion. In sham operation group, bilateral common carotid arteries were exposed without occlusion. In PCr treatnent group, PCr in dose of 150 mg/kg was administered intravenously 60 min before the occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries. Normal saline was administered intravenously instead of PCr into rats of I/R group. After reporfusion for 48 hours, the rats were sacrificed and brains removed for detections of neuron apoptosis by using TUNEL, malondialdebyde (MDA) level by using chromtometry and calmodulin (CaM) activity by using ELISA. Results Compared with sham operation group, TUNEL-positive cells, MDA level and CaM activity increased in I/R group and PGr treatment group ( P <0.01). Compared with I/R group, TUNEL-positive cells, MDA level and CaM activity were lower significantly in PCr treatment group ( P < 0.01). Conclusions PCr can lessen cerebral ischemic reperfusion injury and neuron apoptosis, the mechanism maybe relates to the attenuation of abnormalities in calcium balance and reduction of oxygen free radicals by PCr.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of montelukast sodium combined with methylprednisolone in the treatment of pediatric allergic purpura and its effects on inflammatory factors and immune function.Methods:A total of 94 children with allergic purpura who received treatment in Taizhou Women and Children's Hospital and Taizhou Hospital Medical Center (Group) Enze Hospital from March 2019 to March 2021 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into observation and control groups ( n = 47/group). The control group was treated with methylprednisolone. The observation group was treated with montelukast sodium combined with methylprednisolone. The course of treatment was 2 weeks in both groups. Efficacy and changes in inflammatory factors and immune function post-treatment relative to those pre-treatment were compared between the two groups. Results:Total response rate in the observation group [93.62% (44/47)] was significantly higher than that in the control group [74.47% (35/47), Z = 2.15, P < 0.05)]. After treatment, interleukin (IL-4), IL-6, and IL-18 levels in each group were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment ( tobservation group = 21.19, 22.26, 27.20, tcontrol group = 11.10, 13.21, 14.86, all P < 0.05). After treatment, IL-4, IL-6, and IL-8 levels in the observation group were (48.98 ± 5.21) ng/L, (34.10 ± 6.42) ng/L, and (53.29 ± 5.67) ng/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than (65.38 ± 7.08) ng/L, (47.83 ± 4.71) ng/L, (67.83 ± 7.10) ng/L in the control group ( t = 12.79, 11.82, 10.97, all P < 0.05). After treatment, CD3 +, CD4 +, and CD4 +/CD8 + in each group were significantly increased compared with those before treatment ( tobservation group = 14.27, 14.41, 17.61, tcontrol group = 6.90, 5.12, 7.40, all P < 0.05). After treatment, CD3 +, CD4 +, and CD4 +/CD8 + in the observation group were (68.94 ± 2.89)%, (39.94 ± 2.15)%, and (1.79 ± 0.13), respectively, which were significantly higher than (63.86 ± 3.28)%, (35.65 ± 2.31)%, and (1.53 ± 0.16) in the control group ( t = 7.96, 9.32, 8.64, all P < 0.05). After treatment, serum IgG and IgM levels in each group were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment ( tobservation group = 21.00, 7.99, tcontrol group = 8.38, 5.76, both P < 0.05). After treatment, serum IgG and IgM levels in the observation group were (1.43 ± 0.19) g/L and (9.74 ± 0.78) g/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than (1.95 ± 0.37) g/L and (10.89 ± 0.85) g/L in the control group ( t = 8.57, 6.83, both P < 0.05). Conclusion:Montelukast sodium combined with methylprednisolone is highly effective on allergic purpura in children. The combined therapy can reduce inflammatory responses and improve immune function in children.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) in treatment-na(i)ve Chinese patients with AIDS, to provide evidences for standardizing HAART.Methods Seventy-four treatment-naive AIDS patients were initiated with HAART and followed up regularly for 3 years. The clinical and laboratory data, side effects and drug resistance were observed and analyzed during the follow-up period. Results Of the 74 patients, 46 were males and 28 were females, with the average age being 42 years. The mean HIV viral load was ( 2. 2 ± 2.0 ) × 105 copies/ml and the baseline mean CD4+ T lymphocyte count was (62 ± 71 )cells/μl before treatment. After treatment for 3, 6, 12, 18,24, 30 and 36 months, the percentage of undetectable HIV viral road (less than 50 copies/ml ) was 71.6%, 83.8%, 75.7%, 77.0%, 82.4%, 81.1% and 79.7% respectively, and CD4+T lymphocyte count ascended to ( 167 ± 105), ( 177 ± 129), (238 ± 137), (290 ± 158), (304 ± 191 ), (331 ± 175) and ( 352 ± 202 ) cells/μl. The increase in amplitude of CD4+ T lymphocyte count in different periods examined was different, with the period of 0-3 months post-treatment demonstrating the most obvious augmentation ( P < 0. 01 ) . The most common adverse reactions were liver function injury ( 52/74,70. 3% ), hyperlipemia (52/74, 70. 3%), hematopoietic inhibition of the bone marrow (33/74, 44. 6% ),peripheral neuritis (32/74, 43.2% ) and lipoatrophy (26/74, 35. 1%). Clinical drug resistance were found in nine patients and HIV gene mutations were detected in these patients. Conclusions Chinese treatment-naive AIDS patients have achieved good virological and immunological response to generic-drugpredominant HAART regimes with low drug resistance, but relatively more side effects.
