Antimicrobial peptides ( AMPs) are a kind of micromolecular peptides with antibacterial , antivirus and anti-tumor activities.Unlike conventional antibiotics , acquisition of resistance by a sensitive microbial strain against AMPs is surprisingly improbable .AMPs are not widely used clinically due to their toxicity , susceptibility to proteolysis and high manufacturing cost .Researchers have obtained some AMPs with high activity and low toxicity by structure modifications . The molecular design of AMPs as well as their development in the future are reviewed .
2.Nicardipine vs labetalol in treating acute and severe hypertension
Chinese Journal of New Drugs and Clinical Remedies 2001;20(3):182-184
AIM: To compare the therapeutic effects and adverse reactions of nicardipine and labetalol injection in treating acute and severe hypertensions. METHODS: Sixty-seven patients in nicardipine group (M 46, F 21; age 52 a± s 11 a) were given nicardipine 2 mg in 0.9 % sodium chloride or 5 % glucose injection 10 mL within 2 min iv, first, and then given 30 mg nicardipine in 0.9 % sodium chlocide or 5 % glucose injection 250 mL by continual intravenous infusion for 6 h. Sixty-one patients in labetalol group (M 41, F 20; age 53 a±9 a) received 50 mg labetalol in 5 % glucose injection 20 mL by intravenous once. The treatment could be repeated every 15 min, in case it was less effective, but the total dose should be no more than 200 mg. RESULTS: The treatment for the nicardipine group and the labetalol group, reached the marked effect within 5 min. The total marked effective rate was all 100 % (P>0.05). Severe adverse reactions occured in the two patients (one occured significantly lowering of blood pressure, and the other aggravated asthma) in the labetalol group. CONCLUSION: Intravenous nicardipine and labetalol are fast and smooth in reducing the blood pressure of the patients with acute and severe hypertension, but the safety of nicardipine is superior to that of labetalol
3.Thinking on the configuration and clinical application of hybrid operating room in China
China Medical Equipment 2013;(9):52-53,54
Hybrid operating room is used and spread in China with the development of medical equipment and the integration of medical technology. As a new equipment and advanced technology, it faced some questions and challenges on its construction and development. We analyzed the definition, classification, construction and use which combined the development history and clinical application, and proposed some suggestions on how to strengthen the development and construction of hybrid operating room.
4.Application Analysis of Antitumor Chinese Herbal Injections of 32 Hospitals in Wuhan Area During 2010-2012
China Pharmacist 2014;(2):287-290
Objective: To investigate the current situation of consumption and development tendency of antitumor Chinese herbal injections in Wuhan area. Methods:The analytical method of the defined daily dose ( DDD) recommended by WHO was used to ana-lyze the application of antitumor Chinese herbal injections in 32 hospitals of Wuhan area during the period of 2010-2012. Results:The consumption sum and the DDDs of antitumor Chinese herbal injections were increased year after year, while the daily drug cost ( DDC) was stable in general. The sort of consumption was generally in accordance with the sequence of DDDs. Conclusion:The status quo of antitumor Chinese herbal injections during the period of 2010-2012 is in line with the characteristics of clinical application, indicating the use is rational.
5.The functional changes of splenic lymphocytes in immobihzation stress mice
Chinese Journal of Immunology 2001;0(07):-
Objective: To study the affection of immobilization stress (IMS) on mice splenic lymphocytic function. Methods:The proliferation of lymphocytes was examined by MTT, and intracellular[Ca2+] was examined by fluorescence probe, Fura-2/AM, membrane of lymphocytes IL-2 receptor(mIL-2R) and cell cycle were examined by flow cytometry. Results;The end of IMS was found to be the lowest proliferation response after IMS, at the same time mIL-2R expression was impaired. Analysis of cell cycle showed the proliferation of splenocytes from IMS mice might be bloched in G2/M phases. Intracellular[Ca2+] was significant increased after IMS. Conclusion: IMS may induce the disfunction of lymphocytes and immunosuppression.
6.Exposure and Ritual Prevention of Obsessive-compulsive Disorder:A Case Study
Chinese Journal of Clinical Psychology 1993;0(02):-
Objective:To investigate effectiveness of exposure and ritual prevention of patients with obsession-compul-sive disorder(OCD),so as to provide references for professionals in clinical psychology.Methods:One female patient with severe OCD received 3 weeks intensive exposure and ritual prevention treatment.In order to investigate the effectiveness,she completed Symptom Check List 90 and Yale Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale(SCL-90 and YBOCS) at pre-treat-ment,mid-treatment and post-treatment.Results:After treatment,the patient's scores of questionnaires reduced,such as score on YBOCS reduced from 38 to 9.She reported that her washing time reduced obviously and her own measure of dis-tress index reduced.Conclusion:Exposure and ritual prevention could treat the patient with OCD effectively.Her distress reduced and life function was improved.
7.CHANGES OF c fos GENE IN PERIAQUEDUCTAL GRAY OF AUDIOGENIC SEIZURES PRONE RATS FOLLOWING AUDIOGENIC SEIZURES
Acta Anatomica Sinica 1955;0(03):-
Objective\ To find out the relationship between the periaqueductal gray (PAG) and the audiogenic seizures. Methods The neuronal(Nissl)staining method and the immunocytochemical method were used to identify the Fos postive neurons in the PAG of the audiogenic seizures prone rats(P77PMC) after audiogenic seizures. Results There were lots of Fos positive neurons in the dorsolateral, dorsal and caudoventrolateral subdivisions of the PAG in P77PMC rats two hours post seizure, and the percentage of Fos positive neurons was significant higher than that of rats in control groups. Conclusion A large number of neurons in the PAG of the audiogenic seizures prone rats participated in the process of the audiogenic seizures.
8.The use of Ki-67 and anti-cytokeratin antibody(34?E12) in the differential diagnosis of prostate cancer
Cancer Research and Clinic 1997;0(03):-
Objective To study the role of Ki- 67 and anti- cytokeratin antibody 34?E12 in the differential diagnosis of prostate cancers. Methods 24 cases of prostate carcinoma and 30 cases of benign prostate hyperplasia were studied with immunohistochemical technique(SP). Results In 24 prostate cancers the average Ki- 67 index was 0.45?0.21, and that in 30 cases of benign hyperplasia was 0.12?0.09, the expression of Ki- 67 is higher in prostate carcinoma than benign prostate hyperplasia, there was static significance (P

Objective To review the epidemiology, etiology,pathology,clinical presentation,diagnosis and treatment,recurrance and prognosis of Mondor disease.Methods Literatures on Mondor disease were reviewed,and our study of Mondor disease was also included.Results Mondor disease is difficult to diagnose,but is with good prognosis in most patients.It's unclear whether Mondor disease is associated with the etiology of breast cancer.Conclusion The diagnosis and therapy of Mondor disease are important,especially when it is accompanied with breast cancer.
10.The correlation of dentofacial structure and the sagittal upper airway size in youthful nonsnoring men with malocclusion
Journal of Practical Stomatology 1996;0(02):-
Objective:To investigate the correlation of dentofacial structure and the sagittal size of the upper airway in youthful nonsnoring men with malocclusion.Methods:Lateral cephalometry was carried out in 52 nonsnoring males with malocclusion. The average age of the patients was 19.23 years, with a range of 18 to 24 years. Stepwise regression analysis was used to relate those cephalometric parameters to the sagittal airway size at different levels.Results:SNB angle,S-N length and H-C_3 length were the related variables to superior posterior airway space(SPAS). H-C_3 length,SNB angle and L1-MP angle were the related variables to middle airway space(MAS). SNB angle,H-C_3 length,S-N length and L1-MP angle were the related variables to inferior airway space(IAS).Conclusion:The sagittal upper airway size in youthful nonsnoring men with malocclusion is correlated to the dentofacial structure and the hyoid position.
