China Pharmacy 2015;(20):2804-2805,2806
OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and ADR of blue and red light phototherapy combined with TCM exter-nal treatment in the treatment of ecthyma. METHODS:64 ecthyma patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group by number with 32 cases in each group. Both groups were provided with intravenous drip of Erigeron injection and Shenxiong glucose injection to improve limb microcirculation. The experimental group was also provided with blue and red light phototherapy (blue light 20 min+ red light 20 min) combined with TCM external treatment once a day;while control group was provided with only TCM external treatment once a day. After 1 month treatment,clinical efficacy and healing time of 2 groups were observed and compared,and ADR monitoring was conducted. RESULTS:The cure rate of experimental group was 78.13%, and the total effective rate was 96.88%,which were higher than those of control group(40.63% and 81.25%),there was statisti-cally significant difference (P<0.05). The average healing time of experimental group was (18.75 ± 5.97) d,and that of control group was(27.12 ± 6.67)d;there was statistically significant difference between 2 groups (P<0.05). No ADR was found in 2 groups during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Blue and red light phototherapy combined with TCM external treatment in the treatment of ecthyma has the remarkable curative effect and good safety,and shorten the healing time.

We present the binding ability of a new peptide (CMPQVMPMC-) with dental enamel after being evaluated in the present study. Under a standard procedure, the recovery of M13 filamentous phage was greatly enhanced by displaying the peptide in phage coat protein p III. Then the cyclic peptide was synthesized using a solid method. The effect of the cyclic peptide in vitro biomineralization was tested in a single-diffusion microtiter plate gel system. Absorbance at 405 nm of each sample was recorded for 24 h at every 6 h intervals. The relatively increased values of each sample were expressed as percentages relative to the blank group (100%). The cyclic peptide resulted in a concentration-dependent delayed nucleation. In addition, the overall values of peptide groups at the end of 24 h were lower than those in the control group but much higher than those in the BSA control group.

Objective To learn the incidence of the inherited metabolic diseases in Beijing. Methods Urine samples were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS)for inherited metabolic diseases in high risky infants in Beijing . Results Urine samples from 411 high risky infants were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. 269 cases (65.5%) were detected to have metabolic abnormalities, including 19 cases (4.6%) diagnosed of inherited metabolic diseases in which there were 15 cases of methylmalonic academia and 1 case each of propionic academia, hyperphenylalaninemia, urea cycle abnormality and pyroglutamic aciduria. There were 22 suspected cases (5.4%) of inherited metabolic diseases including 13 cases of lactic acidosis, 5 cases of primary glycerol aciduria, 4 cases of fatty acid metabolic disorders including 1 case each of Citrin defects, tyrosinemia, galactosemia 3-methylcrotonoyl coenzyme A carboxylase deifciency and maple syrup urine disease. There were also 228 cases (55.5%) of metabolic abnormalities, such as increasing urine levels of lactic acid, sucrose,lactose, galactose, N-acetyl tyrosine, succinic acid, dicarboxylic acid and abnormal serine/threonine ratio. Conclusions Methylmalonic academia might be the most common inherited metabolic diseases in high risky infants in Beijing. For infants with clinical manifestations but unclear etiology, GC-MS should be performed. MS-MS and gene analysis could be combined if necessary.

Objective To study the role of gasless laparoscopic techniques in the treatment of abdominal trauma. Methods A retrospective analysis was made on clinical data of 52 cases of abdominal trauma considered unfit for pneumoperitoneum treated by gasless laparoscopic surgery. Results Prompt diagnosis and treatment were achieved in 43 cases. A conversion to laparoscopic exploration under pneumoperitoneum was required in 5 cases. The remaining 4 cases of severe injuries of the spleen and the bowel were cured by a conversion to open surgery after the determination of the incision site under gasless laparoscope. There were no fatal cases in the study. Conclusions Use of gasless laparoscopic techniques for the diagnosis, treatment and determination of incision site in patients with abdominal trauma considered unfit for pneumoperitoneum is feasible. It is a necessarily additional alternative to traditional laparoscopic surgery.

BACKGROUND: There are obvious neuropsychological changes after stroke besides the damage of cognitive function, and the symptoms of depression and anxiety which are also very conspicuous.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the related characteristics of neuropsychological changes after stroke by means of neuropsychological methods.DESIGN: A case-control study.SETTING: Department of Psychology, the Third Hospital of Daqing; Department of Neurology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: Sixty stroke inpatients (33 males and 27 female)aged from 42 to 75 years old with an average of (59.3±8.8) years old were selected from the Department of Neurology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University between October 2001 and June 2002. Totally 49 cases had cerebral infarction and 11 cases had cerebral hemorrhage; 31 cases had single focus and 29 cases had multiple focuses (including 2 focuses or more); 20 cases had lesion in left hemisphere,21 cases had lesion in right hemisphere and 19 cases had bilateral lesions. The lesion was at temporal lobe in 6 cases, at occipital lobe in 2 cases, at frontoparietal temporal lobe in 15 cases, at internal capsule in 4 cases, at basal nuclei in 19 cases, at lateral ventricle in 4 cases, at thalam us in 4 cases, at cerebellum in 1 case and at multiple sites in 5 cases. The focal size was < 15 mm in 33 cases and ≥ 15 mm in 27 cases. Sixty residents (33 males and 27 females) aged 42to 75 years with an average of (58.7±7.9) years old were selected simultaneously from the communities and suburbs of Harbin city as the controls and they all had no cerebral and organic lesion, mental disorder, severe somatic diseases and family history of mental disease.INTERVENTIONS: The poststroke mental status of the patients at stable recovery period was assessed with symptom checklist-90 (SCL-90, consisted of 90 items and 9 symptoms, scored by 5 grades of 0 to 4, including 0 as never, 1 as mild, 2 as moderate, 3 as a little severe and 4 as severe;Hamilton depression scale (HAMD, consisted of 24 items, including 11 somatic symptoms scored by 0 to 2 grades and 13 mental symptoms scored by 0 to 4 grades; the total score > 24 points was taken as severe depression, 17 to 24 as moderate depression, 7 to 16 as mild depression, < 7 as no depression), self-rating depressive scale (SDS, consists of 20 items, evaluated according to the occurrence frequency of the symptom, and classified into 4 grades; the score was 1, 2, 3 and 4 points for the forward scored questions, but 4, 3, 2 and 1 point for the backward scored questions; the highest total score was 80 points; the depressive severity=accumulative scores of each item/80×100, the depressive index ranged 25 to 100, the index < 0.5 was taken as no depression, 0.5 to 0.59 as mild depression,0.6 to 0.69 as moderate depression, > 0.7 as severe depression) and selfrating anxiety scale (SAS, consisted of 20 items, scored by 4 grades, mainly evaluated according to the occurrencefrequency of the symptoms. The forward scores were 1, 2, 3 and 4 points, and the backward scores were 4,3, 2 and 1 point; the total score multiplied by 1.25, and then the integer was taken as the standard score, the lower the better, and the delimitative value was 50. The total score of anxiety < 50 points was taken as normal,50 to 60 as mild anxiety, 61 to 70 as moderate anxiety, > 70 as severe anxiety). According to the different characters of disease, the patients with moderate depression and above were given suitable psychotherapy and psychiatric drugs for 4 weeks as a course.of the 4 scales between stroke patients with different lesion natures, foin the patients accompanied by depression. RESULTS: All the 60 stroke patients and 60 eases in the control group were involved in the analysis and SAS between the stroke group and control group: All the total scores were higher in the stroke group than in the control group [(131.45 ±18.89), (94.25 ±9.08) points; (18.73 ±6.54), (8.60 ±2.39)points; (56.49±11.85), (41.63±9.91) points: (40.08±6.55), (28.72±1.84)the 4 scales between stroke patients with different lesion natures, focal sites and focal sizes: In the stroke group, the total scores were higher in the patients with lesion in left hemisphere, cortical lesion, multiple focuses and large focal size (≥ 15 mm) than in those with lesion in right hemisphere, subcortical lesion, single focus and small focal size (< 15 mm)(t=1.92 to 4.31, P < 0.05), but the scores were almost the same between the patients with cerebral infarction and those with cerebral hemorrhage accompanied by depression before and after treatment: 21 patients had moderate depressive symptoms and above, and their total scores of SCL90, HAMD, SDS and SAS were obviously higher than those in the control group (t=7.45 to 13.75, 9.83 to 21.20, P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: The poststroke neuropsychological changes are more obvious, and the changes are associated with the lesion location, focal size and focal site, but have no close correlation with the lesion nature.After psychological interventions, the depressive emotion is markedly ameliorated in the patients with obvious depressive symptoms and it is then indicated that poststroke patients should be given psychological interventions.
