OBJECTIVE:To prepare Weikang capsule and establish its quality standard METHODS:Weikang capsule was prepared with gentamycin sulfate,vitamin B1,vitamin B2,vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 A polarimetry was established for determining the content of gentamycin sulfate in Weikang capsule RESULTS:There was a good linearity between optical rotations and concentrations of gentamycin sulfate from 2 000IU/ml to 12 000IU/ml with a regression equation of ?=0 00 767+1 77 003C,r=0 9 999 The average recovery rate of gentamycin sulfate in Weikang capsule was 100 1%,RSD was 0 79%(n=6) The results of polarimetry and microbioassay were nearly equivalent CONCLUSION:The preparation process of Weikang capsule is simple,and polarimetry for determination of the content of gentamycin sulfate in Weikang capsule wes rapid and reliable

Objective:To compare the accuracy of the needle tip reaching the target tissue between two subcutaneous injection techniques under ultrasound imaging in order to provide a basis for clinical injection to make a safe and reasonable decision.Methods:This was a parallel controlled non-inferiority comparative study. A total of 68 patients who received subcutaneous injections in the outpatient injection room of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University from June 2021 to September 2022 were selected as the research subjects, and they were divided intothe A and B group according to the random number table method, there were 34 cases in each group. Group A received pinched skin injections, and group B received taut skin injections. Unify the injection site, injection needle length, and needle insertion angle. The accuracy rate of the needle tip reaching the target tissue, namely the subcutaneous fat layer, was compared between the two groups by ultrasound imaging, and the pain scores and the imaging performance during the injection process were observed.Results:The accuracy of the needle tip reaching the subcutaneous fat layer in the group A was 97.1%(33/34), which compared with the 100.0%(34/34) in the group B, there was no significant difference ( χ2 = 0.53, P>0.05). There was no significant difference about the distribution of pain scores between the two groups ( χ2 = 0.67, P>0.05). There were no significant differences about age, subcutaneous fat thickness and the distance from the needle tip to the myofascial in patients with different pain scores ( F = 1.20, 0.44, H = 0.64, all P>0.05). Conclusions:Under certain conditions, pinching the skin and tightening the skin have the same accuracy and safety when the needle tip reaches the subcutaneous fat layer of the target tissue, and the choice should be made according to the clinical situation. Imaging observations have enlightening significance for the practice of subcutaneous injection.

Kallmann syndrome ( KS) is a rare disease and characteristic of an absence of puberty, infertility, and a defective sensation of smell (anosmia or hyposmia). Here, we analyze the features of a case of KS diagnosed clinically. In addition, the etiology, genetic features, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of KS were reviewed.

Klinefelter syndrome(KS) is the most common sex chromosome disorder in males,which is caused by the presence of the extra X chromosome that maybe inherited from mother or father. Approximately 80% karyotype of the cases is 47,XXY. KS is characterized by small firm testes, hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, infertility,gynaecomastia, increased height. However, cognitive disabilities and psychiatric disorders are rarely diagnosed in KS because they lack screening in related aspects. At the present, the pathogenesis of cognitive disabilities and increased risk of psychiatric diseases in KS have not been delineated. In this article,we report two cases of KS,and review their clinical manifestations,diagnosis,and treatments.

COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection severely threatens global health and economic development. No effective antiviral drug is currently available to treat COVID-19 and any other human coronavirus infections. We report herein that a macrolide antibiotic, carrimycin, potently inhibited the cytopathic effects (CPE) and reduced the levels of viral protein and RNA in multiple cell types infected by human coronavirus 229E, OC43, and SARS-CoV-2. Time-of-addition and pseudotype virus infection studies indicated that carrimycin inhibited one or multiple post-entry replication events of human coronavirus infection. In support of this notion, metabolic labelling studies showed that carrimycin significantly inhibited the synthesis of viral RNA. Our studies thus strongly suggest that carrimycin is an antiviral agent against a broad-spectrum of human coronaviruses and its therapeutic efficacy to COVID-19 is currently under clinical investigation.
