OBJECTIVE:To investigate rules and characteristics of ADR induced by antigout agents,and to provide reference for clinical rational drug use. METHODS:A total of 146 literatures,167 putients of ADR induced by antigout agents,which were reported during Jan. 1979-Dec. 2014. RESULTS:Of 167 ADR cases,the ratio of male to female was 5.4:1,and ADR patients aged above 70 years occupied the highest proportion(34.14%);Most ADR were induced by allopurinol(137 cases)ADR induced by antigout agents mainly were dermal system injury(60.00%),systemic reaction(9.19%),urinary system injury(5.95%),etc. and the specific performance manifested as erythra (51 cases),dermatitis exfoliativa (38 cases),drug hypersensitivity syndrome (13 cases),bullous epidermal necrolysis type of drug eruption (11 cases),Stevens-Johnson syndrome (9 cases) and so on. New and severe ADR were 66 cases,13 cases of severe ADR were dead. CONCLUSIONS:ADR induced by antigout agents is common in clinical and should be treated promptly,patient's care also should be strengthen to ensure patient medication safety and improve clinical treatment.

Abstract： Objective　To analyze the changes of cytokine levels in patients with sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis and drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis before and after anti-tuberculosis treatment. Methods　The clinical data of 213 pulmonary tuberculosis patients admitted to the Eighth Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from August 2019 to October 2020 were collected, and divided into a sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis group and a drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis group, of which 141 were in the sensitive group and 72 in the drug-resistant group , and the pro-inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-6, IL-17, interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and anti-inflammatory factors IL-10 and IL-4 in plasma before treatment, 3 months and 6 months after treatment were compared. Results　Compared with the healthy group, the levels of plasma IL-6 in the sensitive group and the resistant group were significantly increased, difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). The plasma levels of IFN-γ and IL-17 in the sensitive group were increased, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with before treatment, the levels of IL-6 and IL-4 in the plasma of the sensitive group after 6 months of treatment were lower than those after 3 months of treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), and IFN-γ was significantly decreased (P<0.001). After 6 months of treatment, the IL-10 content was lower than that before treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), and the IFN-γ decreased significantly (P<0.000 1). The levels of IFN-γ at 3 months were higher than those in the resistant group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). After 6 months of treatment, there was no significant difference in the content of IFN-γ between the sensitive group and the resistant group. The effective rate of CT absorption was 70% in the sensitive group and only 43.33% in the resistant group at 3 months of treatment, and there was no significant difference in the effective rate between the two groups after 6 months of treatment. Conclusions　Detection of pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines in plasma can provide reference for host-directed therapy of pulmonary tuberculosis. Understanding this important feature of cytokines on pathogen-host interactions can provide new insights into the study of virulence mechanisms and may provide new approaches for immune intervention in pulmonary tuberculosis.

This study was aimed to observe effects of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment from lung on mRNA expressions of iNOS in lung tissues of rats with ulcerative colitis (UC). A total of 52 rats were used to estab-lish the UC rat model by using rabbit intestinal mucosal tissue allergenic model and TNBS-ethanol model (with the model success rate of 78%). Eight rats, which were randomly selected from 40 successfully modeled rats and the normal group, were used as the model group and the normal group before intervention (time point of week zero). The rest 32 successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into the model group, the western medicine (salazosulfapyri-dine) group, treatment from lung (Huang-Qi Jie-Geng, HQJG decoction) group, and treatment from intestine (Huang-Qi Huang-Lian, HQHL decoction) group, with 8 rats in each group. Another 8 normal rats were used as the control group. The intervention was given for 4 weeks. And the mRNA expression of iNOS was detected in week ze-ro, and four weeks after the treatment using real time-PCR. The results showed that in the acute phase of week zero, the mRNA level of iNOS in lung tissues of model group was significantly increased compared with that in normal group (P < 0.05); after 4-week treatment, compared with the normal group, the mRNA level of iNOS in the model group was significantly increased (P< 0.05). Compared with the model group, the mRNA level of iNOS in the treat-ment from lung group was significantly decreased (P < 0.01). It was concluded that NO which was catalyzed and synthesized by iNOS played an important role in pulmonary diseases. It can cause airway inflammation, edema, lung injury, and etc. Treatment from lung can alleviate the lung injury by inhibiting abnormal activation of iNOS.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate rules and characteristics of the adverse drug reactions(ADR)induced by monoclonal antibodies,and provide reference for rational drug use. METHODS:The literatures of ADR induced by monoclonal antibodies from Jan. 1979 to Dec. 2014 were retrieved and analyzed. RESULTS:Among the 132 ADRs induced by monoclonal antibodies,57 were male(43.18%),75 were female(56.82%),the ratio of male to female was 1∶1.3,the youngest was 2 years old,and oldest was 111 years old;Adalimumab dominated monoclonal antibody drugs(70 cases,53.03%);there were a maximum of ADR(44) within 1 d,accounting for 33.33%;ADR induced by monoclonal antibodies mainly were skin lesions (20.72%),systemic reac-tions(18.42%)and cardiovascular system damage(16.78%),with the specific performance of rash,itching,chills,fever,palpi-tation,rapid heartbeat and so on. CONCLUSIONS:ADR induced by monoclonal antibodies is more common in the clinic. The clin-ic should timely promote and strengthen the patients' care to ensure safe drug use and improve level of clinical treatment.

OBJECTIVETo observe effects of treatment from the lung and treatment from the intestine on the level of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in the lung and intestine of ulcerative colitis (UC) rats.

METHODSThe UC rat model was established in 52 rats by using rabbit intestine mucosa tissue allergen combined TNBS-ethanol model (with the model successful rate of 78.0%). Eight rats randomly selected from 40 successfully modeled rats and 8 of 16 rats from the normal group were recruited as the model group and the normal control group before intervention (at week 0). The rest 32 successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into the model group, the Western medicine treatment group (salazosulfapyridine), the treatment from lung group (Huangqi Jiegeng Decoction), and the treatment from intestine group (Huangqi Huanglian Decoction), 8 in each group. Rats in each treatment group were administered with corresponding medication 8 times the dose of a 60 kg adult human. Another 8 normal rats were recruited as the normal group. Equal volume of pure water was given to rats in the model group and the normal group by gastrog avage, once per day. Contents of VIP in the lung tissue and the intestinal tissue were detected at week 0 and 4 after 4-week consecutive intervention. Pathomorphological changes of the lung tissue and the colon tissue were observed under light microscope.

RESULTSCompared with the normal control group at week 0, evenly distributed diffuse inflammation could be seen in the pulmonary interstitial tissue; the bronchial wall was thickened; a huge amount of infiltration surrounded bronchi and blood vessels; a large area of necrosis of intestinal mucosa and inflammatory cell infiltration could also be seen in the model group. Pathological injuries of the lung and the colon were more alleviated in each treatment group than in the model group at the same time point. Compared with the normal control group at the same time point, VIP contents in the lung tissue significantly decreased in the model group at the end of week 4 (P<0.05); VIP contents in the colon tissue significantly increased in the model group at the end of week 0 and 4 (P <0.05). Compared with the model group, VIP contents in the lung tissue significantly increased in the Western medicine treatment group and the treatment from lung group at the end of week 4 (P<0.01); VIP contents in the colon tissue significantly decreased in the treatment from lung group and the treatment from intestine group (P<0.05, P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONTreatment from the lung and treatment from the intestine showed predominant advantage in improving local inflammation of the lung and the intestinal tract, alleviating pathological injuries, promoting repair of injuries through regulating VIP contents in the lung tissue and the colon tissue.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the genetic polymorphisms of 19 STR Loci in Shandong Han population in order to provide the genetic data for paternity testing. METHODS: The genotypes of 205 unrelated individuals in Shandong Han population were typed by Goldeneye 20A kit to get the allele frequencies and population genetic parameters of 19 STR loci. Four kits, Identifiler kit, SinoFiler kit, PowerPlex 16 kit, and Goldeneye 20A kit, were compared with each other and used in the analysis of a special paternity test case. RESULTS: The population genetic parameters of 19 STR loci in Shandong Han Population were obtained. The cumulative discrimination power (CDP) and cumulative probability of exclusion (CPE) ranked from high to low were Goldeneye 20A kit, SinoFiler kit, PowerPlex 16 kit and Identifiler kit, respectively. As duo case, the result of the real case showed that Identifiler kit had no excluding loci, and none of the SinoFiler kit, PowerPlex 16 kit or Goldeneye 20A kit could exclude fatherhood. CONCLUSION Compared with Identifiler kit, SinoFiler kit, and PowerPlex 16 kit, Goldeneye 20A kit shows the higher efficiency than the others, but is not completely satisfied for duo cases.

Objective To review and sum up the experience of diagnosis and surgical treatment of cardiac myxoma. Methods 133 patients with cardiac myxoma of different locations from January 1990 to May 2007 admitted in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and Department of Cardivovascular Affdiafed Zhong shan Hospital of Xiamen Unversity were clearly diagnosed by two dimensional echecardiography. The tumors of 109 patients were located in left atrium ,22 in right atrium and 2 in both cardiac atria. All the patients underwent tumor extirpation under extracor-poreal circulation. Atrioventricular valve plasty was performed when necessary. 11 underwent bicuspid valvuloplasty and 6 underwent tricuspid valvuloplasty at the same time. All the minors were sent to histopathology examination. Re-suits Two patients died of low cardiac output syndrome in early postoperative period. Cerebral embolism happened in 6 cases,left lower extremity embolism and pulmonary embolism in 1 ease respectively. Other patients' symptoms were improved and the physical sign disappeared. All the tumors were demonstrated to be benign cardiac myxoma. Conclusions Most cardiac myxoma is benign but its clinical consequence is severe. So tumor extirpation should be performed as soon as possible and the following-up is important after operation. Prevention of tumor defluvium is im-portant. Two dimensional echocardiography is preferred in the diagnosis of cardiac myxoma.

Objective To investigate the changing pattern of antimicrobial resistance among gram-negative bacilli isolated from respiratory intensive care unit (RICU) for rational use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility of 1 047 isolates of gram-negative bacilli from 2000 to 2004 was tested by disk diffusion method.WHONET 5.3 software was used to analyze the data.Results The most common pathogens were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (42.9%),Stenotrophomonas malto- philia (17.1%),Acinetobacter baurnannii (10.0%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (6.5%).The susceptibility rate of P.aerug- inosa was relatively higher to ceftazidime (50%-74%),amikacin (33.3%-81.0%),piperacillin-tazobactam (30.4%-64.6%) and cefoperazone-sulbactam (33.5%-47.5%),while the susceptibility to imipenem decreased.The susceptibility rate of S. maltophilia was relatively higher to cefoperazone-sulbactam (47.2%-78.6%) and ticarcillin-clavulanic acid(28.3%-86.6%). More than 90% of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were susceptible to imipenem.The susceptibility rates of K.pneumoniae to imipenem and cefepime were 92.9%-100% and 55.6%-80.0%,respectively.The susceptibility rate to piperacillin-tazobac- tam decreased from 58.3% to 21.7%.The prevalence of extended-spectrum?-lactamases (ESBLs) in K.pneumoniae increased from 11.1% in 2002 to 47.8% in 2004.Conclusions Most pathogens show significant resistance to the most commonly used an- tibiotics.It is very important to select antibiotics for the treatment of infections in ICU based on the results of susceptibility.
