BACKGROUND: The study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of acute renal failure (ARF) caused by oral acyclovir. METHODS: A 45-year-old Chinese male patient with acyclovir-induced ARF suffered from abdominal pain for one day. The pain was extended to the epigastric area from the right lower quadrant. Transient oliguria was seen in addition to microscopic hematuria and proteinuria. The serum creatinine concentration was 304 μmol/L. Eight days before the occurrence of ARF, the patient took oral acyclovir for facial neuritis. RESULTS: His renal function was restored completely following the discontinuation of acyclovir, with continuous renal replacement therapy for 54 hours and some symptomatic treatment. CONCLUSION: The presentation of acute renal failure caused by acyclovir can be diverse, but the prognosis is good after active treatment.

Objective To investigate the affecting mechanism of Jie Yu No.1 Decoction(JY),which was a complex prescription with the function of adjusting spleen and stomach,on the HPA-axis function of depression model rats.Methods60 SD rats were randomly divided into the normal,the model,the Amitriptyline and the JY decoction groups,with 15 each.Isolated-living condition and chronic mild unpredictable stress were applied suceessively to set up DEP rat model.Radiative immunotherapy was used to measure the content of hormone(CRH),somatostatin(SS) and Cortisol(CORT) in the blood plasma.The correlativity was Analyzed between SS,CRH and CORT to preliminary discuss the affecting mechanism of JY on the function of SS adjusting HPA-axis,and to clarify the antidepressant mechanism of the JY.ResultsThe correlation coefficient between SS and CRH was r=-0.5094,P=0.1972,t=1.4501.The result indicated that SS and CRH had the remarkable negatively correlation.The correlation coefficient between SS and CORT was r=0.010,P=0.9613,t=0.0244.The result indicated that SS and CORT had no remarkable correlation.ConclusionThe antidepressant mechanism of JY may be as that SS reduces CRH contents and reaches the adjustment of HPA-axis function in order to play its antidepressant effect.

Objective To study the relationship between psychological capital and quality of life (QL) in cancer patients and search for better corresponding nursing strategies. Methods Investigating psychological capital state in cancer patients, and analyzing the relationship between social support score and QL. Results Cancer patients′ positive psychological capital score were low: The total score were 74.33 ± 20.04, self-efficacy 20.87 ± 6.64, hope 22.12 ± 6.04, toughness 20.35 ± 5.65, and optimism 12.36 ± 5.55. Cancer patients had low quality of life, quality of life scores were 59.57±0.57, body condition 15.32± 5.90, psychological condition 47.74 ± 10.22, social function 20.46 ± 5.19,family situation 18.93 ± 8.89, total score 115.48±20.19;The psychological capital and quality of life of cancer patients were positively related (r = 0.517, P < 0.01), cancer patients dimensions of psychological capital was positively correlated with the dimensions of quality of life (r =0.189-0.517, P < 0.01). Conclusions Cancer patients′ positive psychological capital and the quality of life both need to be improved; Cancer patients′ psychological capital are closely related to the quality of life and we should pay attention to improve the patients′psychological capital so as to better their quality of life during the care process.

OBJECTIVE: To study the inhibitory effect of Longzhi extracts (extracts from a Chinese herbal compound) on the growth of transplanted hepatoma H22 and sarcoma S180 in mice. METHODS: Certain dosage of Longzhi extracts was dissolved into distilled water to obtain the suspension of definite concentration. The suspension of 0.2 ml was planted on the right forefoot of each mouse. The mice were randomly divided into groups 24 hours later and treated for 7 days. One day after the treatment stopped, the mice were sacrificed and the tumor masses were taken out and weighed. RESULTS: The inhibition rates of Longzhi extracts on the tumor of transplanted H22 and S180 were 63% and 41% respectively. CONCLUSION: Longzhi extracts has antitumor action.

Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine on cerebral oxygen saturation and pulmonary shunt fraction in patients undergoing one-lung ventilation (OLV). Methods Sixty ASAⅠ-Ⅱpatients, aged 46-71 years, with body mass index (BMI)18-24 kg/m2 and scheduled for thoracotomy were randomly divided into three groups (n=20 each):high dose dexmedetomidine group (group D1), low dose dexmedetomidine group (group D2) and control group (group C). Dexmedetomidine 1μg/kg was infused in group D1 after anesthesia induction, and then a rate of 0.5μg·kg-1·h-1 was continuously infused. Dexmedetomidine 0.5μg/kg was infused in group D2 after anesthesia induction, and then a rate of 0.3μg · kg-1 · h-1 was continuously infused. Group C was received the equal volume of normal saline. Anesthesia was main?tained with propofol-remifentanil and intermittent iv boluses of rocuronium. Arterial and jugular venous blood samples were collected before anesthesia induction (T0), at 15 min after two-lung ventilation (T1), at 5 min (T2) and 30 min (T3) of OLV for blood gas analysis. Value of Qs/Qt was calculated and SctO2 was recorded at the same time. Results Compared with group C and group D2, Qs/Qt was decreased at T2 in group D1 (P<0.05). Qs/Qt was lower at T3 in group D1 and D2 than that of group C, and which was lower in group D1 than that of group D2 (P<0.05). In group C and group D1 a significant de?crease in SctO2 was observed at T2 and T3 compared to that at T0 and T1 (P<0.05). SctO2 was significantly higher at T2 and T3 in group D2 than that in group C and group D1 (P<0.05). Conclusion Dexmedetomidine given during OLV undergoing thoracotomy can improve oxygenation, decrease pulmonary shunt fraction and reduce the occurrence of low SctO2.
