6.Resistibility of Microbes Contaminated in Cosmetics to Preservatives in Common Use in Cosmetics
Journal of Environment and Health 2007;0(08):-
Objective To research the resistibility of microbes contaminated in cosmetics to preservatives in common use in cosmetics.Methods The minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) method was used according to Disinfection Technical Guideline.Results The resuls showed that some of the isolated microbes had higher resistance for one or more of the commonly used preservatives.The MIC of enterobacter gergoviae for methyl paraben was 10 mg/ml,the MIC of paecilomyces for propyl paraben was 10 mg/ml,it was 2.5 times greater than the limited dose.The MIC of Pantoea,P.luteola and trichoderma for imidazolidinyl urea were higher than other standard microbe strains.Conclusion The microbes contaminated in cosmetics can develop tolerance to the preservatives in common use in cosmetics,maybe that is one of the causes for cosmetics contamination.
8.Extracorporeal shock wave in the treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(04):-
BACKGROUND:It can be confirmed by the clinical trial that chronic plantar fasciitis can be treated by extracorporeal shock wave.There are some different explains for the mechanism of action.OBJECTIVE:To introduce the mechanism of action and clinical application of extracorporeal shock wave in the treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis.RETRIEVAL STRATEGY:A computer-based search was conducted in PUBMED,HighWire and Springer databases for articles published before August 2007 with the key words of "chronic plantar fasciitis,extracorporeal shock wave application" in English by the first and second authors.Inclusive criteria:articles were selected firstly based on the mechanism of action and clinical application of extracorporeal shock wave for chronic plantar fasciitis.Exclusive criteria:articles out-of-date and repeated were removed.LITERATURE EVALUATION:Sixty-five relevant articles were collected,and twenty-five met the inclusive criteria.Of them,4 articles were review,and others were about the mechanism of action and clinical application of extracorporeal shock wave for chronic plantar fasciitis.DATA SYNTHESIS:①Someone believed that high energy shock wave selectively damaged unmyelinated sensory nerve fibers.Low energy shock wave could inhibit the conduction of sensory nerve ending by releasing calcitonin-gene-related peptide and producing neurogenic inflammation.It also could play a long-term analgesic effect by making the changes in regional flow of the brain,regulating pain memory and reducing local stimulatory response.②There are many reports on short-term and long-term outcomes,different energy levels,local anesthetic drug,the depth of plantar fasciitis and therapeutic place.CONCLUSION:It is effective to treat chronic plantar fasciitis by extracorporeal shock wave.Different approaches can bring us different therapeutic outcomes.
9.Vaginal versus abdominal total hysterectomy in obese women
Chinese Journal of Minimally Invasive Surgery 2001;0(06):-
Objective To discuss the selection of operation methods of total hysterectomy in obese women. Methods We reviewed clinical data of 116 obese women with the body mass index (BMI) ≥ 28 kg/m~2 treated with total hysterectomy. According to the operative procedure, 56 women underwent the vaginal total hysterectomy (Vaginal Group) and 60 women, abdominal total hysterectomy (Abdominal Group). Intra- and post-operative records were compared between the two groups. Results As compared with the Abdominal Group, the Vaginal Group presented a significantly shorter operation time (t=-3.693,P=0.000) and hospital stay (t=-7.019, P=0.000), a significantly less intraoperative blood loss (t=-4.006,P=0.000), and a significantly lower postoperative pyrexia rate (?~2=4.388,P=0.036) and complication rate (?~2=5.243,P=0.022). Conclusions Vaginal hysterectomy is superior to abdominal hysterectomy in obese women, but should be used with caution in those with severe adhesions or multiple abdominal operation history.
10.Application of Genetic Testing in Individualized Antiplatelet Therapy for Acute Coronary Syndrome Pa-tients after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
China Pharmacy 2017;28(23):3285-3289
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the value of genetic testing in clopidogrel individualized antiplatelet therapy for acute coronary syndrome(ACS)patients after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). METHODS:Clinical pharmacists participated in therapy for 3 ACS patients after PCI,and analyzed risk factors of stent thrombosis as the degree of lesion complexity,length and number of stents,complication,smoking history,etc. Clinical pharmacists suggested conducting clopidogrel genetic testing (CYP2C19,PON1,ACBC1),and suggested replacing antiplatelet agents,maintaining original plan and strengthening monitoring according to the results of genetic testing. RESULTS:The physicians adopted the suggestions of clinical pharmacists. After optimiz-ing antiplatelet therapy according to the results of genetic testing and clinical factors,3 patients were stable and discharged from hospital with drugs. CONCLUSIONS:Genetic testing can provide evidence for the formulation of individualized antiplatelet thera-py in ACS patients after PCI,and can be regarded as one of the breakthrough points for clinical pharmacists to carry out pharmaceu-tical care. In conducting genetic testing,clinical pharmacists should evaluate the risk of thrombosis in ACS patients and select the appropriate population for testing. At the same time,the clinical factors as medication compliance,stent thrombosis risk,therapeu-tic efficacy,ADR,and evidence-based pharmaceutical evidence should be comprehensively evaluated on the basis of genetic test-ing,and antiplatelet therapy plan should be optimized so as to guarantee the safety and effectiveness of drug use.
