China Pharmacy 2015;26(36):5083-5084
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the correlation of patients with end stage renal disease(ESRD)and antibiotics encepha-lopathy after giving ceftazidime. METHODS:Data of 20 ESRD patients with antibiotics encephalopathy were retrospectively ana-lyzed and included into observation group,and also 20 ESRD patients with no antibiotics encephalopathy were included into con-trol group. Patients with no improved conditions in observation group were given hemodialysis associated with hemoperfusion after 2-5 days of ceftazidime withdrawal. The hemoglobin(Hb),albumin(Alb),serum creatinine(Scr),blood urea nitrogen(BUN), total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),parathyroid hormone(PTH),use time and cumulative dose of ceftazidime in observa-tion group were detected and compared with control group. RESULTS:The age,use time and cumulative dose of ceftazidime in ob-servation group were significantly higher than control group,Alb level was lower than control group,the differences were statisti-cally significant(P<0.05). 19 patients in remission and 1 died in observation group. CONCLUSIONS:The antibiotic encephalopa-thy in ESRD patients has correlation with elderly,hypoalbuminemia,use time and cumulative dose of ceftazidime.

Osteoclast is a type of multinuclear giant cell, which plays a role in bone resorption in the homeostasis of bone mass. Excessive bone resorption leads to osteoporosis and other diseases characterized by decreased bone mass. Ca 2+ metabolism plays an important role as a second messenger in the differentiation, migration, fusion and bone resorption of osteoclast. The transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) ion channel is expressed in a variety of cells, including osteoclast. Current studies have found that the TRPV ion channel can participate in the production and bone resorption function of osteoclast by increasing intracellular Ca 2+ concentration and calcium oscillations. This article reviews the relationship between the TRPV ion channel and the changes of Ca 2+ concentration and the potential mechanisms involved in osteoclast activity, so as to provide a reference for further research on diseases characterized by abnormally increased activation of osteoclast in the future.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the main cause of knee pain and disability in the elderly. KOA is a complex disease that is controlled by a variety of pathogenic factors, including general physical factors such as age, gender, obesity, family history, and mechanical factors, and unfavorable mechanical factors to the knee joint, such as trauma, sports injuries, and daily routines. The prevalence of KOA is related to genetic factors. Currently, conservative treatment has limited effects to this disease, and knee joint replacement is usually associated with many complications. Mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) were first discovered in the bone marrow and subsequently found in peripheral blood, cord blood, skeletal muscle, heart and adipose tissue, which have high plasticity and pluripotency. The discovery of MSCs provides a new method for the treatment of KOA. Due to its powerful cartilage repair and regeneration function, researchers have conducted a large number of experimental studies on the efficacy, safety and mechanism of MSCs in the treatment of KOA in recent years. In this paper, the above studies presented were systematically reviewed.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of high tibial osteotomy(HTO) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty(UKA) for knee unicompartmental osteoarthrits(KOA) using Meta analysis. Methods The controlled clinical trial literatures of HTO and UKA treating KOA were retrieved, the database including Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Wanfang Data, CNKI, VIP Data, PubMed, Cochrane Library, EBSCO and Embase, and the search period was limited to the beginning of the database to July 2018. The literature was screened and evaluated, and Review Manager 5.3 software was used for Meta analysis. Results A total of 19 articles including 1359 knee joints were included. Meta analysis results showed that HTO was superior to UKA in range of motion (ROM) (P<0.05). For the indicators, including excellent rate, Lysholm score, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, complications, repair rate, blood loss, length of stay, ambulation time, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score and femorotibial angle (FTA), UKA was superior to HTO (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the repair rate between open wedge HTO (OWHTO) and UKA in the sub-group analysis. There were no significant differences in the operation time and Tegner exercise score between HTO and UKA ( all P>0 . 05 ) . Conclusions Both HTO and UKA have their own advantages and disadvantages. It is necessary to properly choose the operation according to the patient's condition and psychological expectation.

Objective:To study the effects of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) loaded by graphene oxide (GO) on cartilage repair in two KOA animal models.Methods:30 male New Zealand rabbits aged 12 weeks were randomly divided into A group ( n=15) and B group ( n=15). In the A group, the KOA model was established by the improved Hulth and cartilage defect method, and in the B group, the KOA model was established by the modified papain controlled-release injection method. After the modeling, the rabbits model in each group were divided into 4 subgroups, including blank control group ( n=3), GO group ( n=4), UCMSCs group ( n=4) and GO+UCMSCs group ( n=4). In these subgroups, the rabbit models were respectively treated injected with 0.5 ml of NaCl solution with 9 g/L, GO granular lubricant (GO with 30 μg/ml and solvent with hyaluronic acid with 0.25%), UCMSCs suspension (5×10 6 /ml), and mixed suspension of UCMSCs loaded by GO (GO with 30 μg/ml and UCMSCs with 5×10 6/ml) in right knee joint cavity. The serum levels of NO, collagen type Ⅱ(COL-Ⅱ), glycosaminoglycan (GAG), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results:Eight weeks after the treatment, the serum levels of NO, IL-6 and TNF-α in GO+UCMSCs group were lower than those of the blank control group (all P<0.01), and the serum levels of COL-Ⅱ and GAG in GO+UCMSCs group were higher than those of the blank control group (all P<0.01). The serum NO level of the blank control group in group A was lower than that of the blank control group in group B [(22.097±0.352) ng/ml vs (23.662±0.056) ng/ml, P<0.05]. The serum COL-Ⅱ levels of the UCMSCs group and GO+UCMSCs group in group A were higher than those of group B respectively [(15.589±0.063) ng/ml vs (14.429±0.092) ng/ml, and (19.372±0.063) ng/ml vs (16.257±0.416) ng/ml, all P<0.01]. The serum GAG levels of the blank control group and the GO+UCMSCs group in group A were higher than those in group B respectively [(23.832±0.891) ng/ml vs (18.709±0.552) ng/ml, and (37.439±2.155) ng/ml vs (26.554±0.450) ng/ml, all P<0.01). The serum IL-6 levels of the blank control group and the GO+UCMSCs group in group A were lower than those in group B respectively [(16.082±0.323) ng/ml vs (18.367±0.861) ng/ml, P<0.05; (7.426±0.294) ng/ml vs (8.680±0.242) ng/ml, P<0.01]. The serum TNF-α levels of the blank control group and the GO+UCMSCs group in group A were lower than those in group B respectively [(9.466±0.177) ng/ml vs (10.013±0.197) ng/ml, P<0.05; (5.139±0.183) ng/ml vs (6.210±0.058) ng/ml, P<0.01]. Conclusions:GO loaded UCMSCs can promote the secretion of chondrocytes in rabbit KOA models, reduce inflammatory levels in joints, and play a role in cartilage repair.

Hypoxia is one of the factors restricting the survival of people at high altitudes, which can cause various symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, palpitations, shortness of breath and acute coma. About 80% of patients with acute mountain sickness have at least one symptom of a gastrointestinal distress (e. g., anorexia, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, etc.). The pathological characteristics, pathogenesis and drug treatment of intestinal injury caused by high-altitude hypoxia were studied, which is conducive to the diagnosis and treatment of plateau gastrointestinal diseases. Therefore, by summarized relevant literature and systematically expounds the related researches on intestinal damage caused by high altitude hypoxia. We summarized the changes of intestinal morphology, intestinal cells, intestinal flora and other intestinal homeostasis caused by high altitude hypoxia, the mechanism of intestinal inflammation and oxidative damage, and the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, which provide reference and information for reference for scientific research workers and clinicians.
