OBJECTIVE:To survey utilization of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)combined with western medicine for TCM outpatients in our hospital and to probe into pharmaceutical care in order to decrease and prevent druginduced diseases because of irrational use of drug and provide reference for safe use of TCM combined with western medicine in the clinic. METHODS:100 cases were collected from TCM department from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31 of 2009 and their prescriptions were recorded. General information in prescriptions were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS:1 200 cases of patients there were 909 patients(75.75%) using the combination therapy,136 patients(11.33%)while use of proprietary Chinese medicines,Chinese herbal medicine and western medicine. There are 655 cases of combination therapy patients(72.06%)for rational use of medicines,while 254 patients (27.94%)are not. CONCLUSION:TCM outpatients in our hospital are treated with TCM combined western medicine in general (Chinese patent medicine combined with western medicine). There is some inappropriate use of drugs so that pharmaceutical care is necessary. Drug combination is the key to pharmaceutical care.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the genes of disinfectant-sulfadiazine and antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli strains in elderly wards.METHODS Polymerase chain reaction and dilution test were used to detect and analyze the disinfectant-sulfadizane drug resistance gene and drug resistance of the E.coli.RESULTS From 30 E.coli strains isolated from elderly patients,21 were detected carrying disinfectant-sulfadizine drug resistance genes,and the positive rate of qacE△1-sulⅠ was 70.0%.CONCLUSIONS The detection rate of disinfectant-sulfadiazine drug resistance gene from E.coli strains isolated from elderly patients,the bacteria detection rates are relatively high.Most of the isolates were resistant to commonly used antibiotics.It suggests that clinical drug-resistant strains may be resistant to disinfectants.This condition should be paid much attention by disinfection wotkers of our country.

The extra small virus (XSV) is a satellite virus associated with Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus (MrNV) and its genome consists of two overlapping ORFs, CP17 and CP16. Here we demonstrate that CP16 is expressed from the second AUG of the CP17 gene and is not a proteinase cleavage result of CP17. We further expressed CP17 and several truncated CP17s (in which the N- or C-terminus or both was deleted), respectively, in Escherichia coli. Except for the recombinant plasmid CP17ΔC10, all recombinant plasmids expressed soluble protein which assembled into virus-like particles (VLPs), suggesting that the C-terminus is important for VLP formation.

Objective:To observe the influence of SBAR communication mode on the condition of patients undergoing thoracolaparoscopic combined with esophageal cancer resection.Methods:A total of 200 patients who were admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology and Oncology from October 2017 to October 2019 in Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University were selected for elective thoracolaparoscopic combined with esophageal cancer resection. According to the random number method, they were divided into 100 cases in the control group and the SBAR group. The control group used conventional preoperative communication visit mode, and the SBAR group used SBAR communication mode and preoperative visit based on the control group. The following items such as the preoperative negative mentality scores, quality of life score, postoperative complications and nursing satisfaction rate of the two groups before and after nursing interventionwere compared.Results:Before the intervention, the difference of the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores of the two groups was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). After the intervention, the SAS and SDS scores of the two groups were 49.32±4.96, 55.95±5.32, 50.93±4.74, and 56.33±5.89, respectively, which were significantly reduced. The SDS and SAS scores of the SBAR group were lower than those of the control group ( t values were -9.115 and -7.142, P<0.001). The difference of the World Health Organization Brief Table on Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) scores of the two groups before the intervention was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). After the intervention, the WHOQOL-BREF scores of the two groups were 12.27±1.39 vs. 9.18±1.24, 16.13±1.51 vs. 12.48±1.22, 16.13±1.95 vs. 12.71±1.28, 15.09±1.81 vs. 13.08±1.48, 18.11±1.82 vs. 13.51±1.47, 14.09±1.61 vs. 12.98±1.28. The scores of the SBAR group were higher than those of the control group ( t values were 5.397-19.662, P<0.001). The postoperative complications rate of the SBAR group was 3.00% (3/100), which was less than 18.00% (18/100) of the control group ( χ 2 value was 11.971, P<0.001). The overall satisfaction rate of patients in the SBAR group with care was 100.00% (100/100), which was higher than the 84.00% (100/100) in the control group ( χ 2 value was 17.391, P<0.001). Conclusions:In patients with esophageal cancer undergoing thoracic laparoscopy combined with esophageal cancer resection, the use of SBAR communication mode for the patient′s preoperative visit can significantly reduce the patient′s preoperative anxiety and depression negative scores and improve the patient′s quality of life, reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications, improve patient satisfaction with nursing with ideal effect.

Objective To evaluate the application of interferon-γ release assay T-SPOT.TB in diagnosis and efficacy assessment of pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods T-SPOT.TB assay was used to determine spot-forming cells (SFCs) formed by T-cells when stimulated by Mycobacterium tuberculosisspecific antigens in 55 patients with active tuberculosis,14 patients with non-tuberculosis lung diseases and 12 healthy controls. Meanwhile 20 sputum culture-positive and qualitative assay-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients were tested with T-SPOT.TB before and at 2-month and 6-month after treatment.Kruskal-Wallis H and Mann-Whitney U test were used in group comparison.Wilcoxon test was used in comparison between pre- and post-treatment.Results The positive rate of T-SPOT.TB was significantly higher in patients with tuberculosis (85.5％,47/55 ) than that in patients with non-tuberculosis lung diseases (2/14) and the healthy controls (1/12) (x2 =40.926,P ＜0.05).The SFCs of hole A in response to ESAT-6 and hole B in response to CFP-10 in pulmonary tuberculosis group were 70.00 (27.00 -125.00) and 80.00 ( 17.00 - 180.00),respectively,which were all significantly higher than those in nontuberculosis lung diseases group and the healthy controls (x2 =35.376 and 30.485,P ＜ 0.05 ).The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of T-SPOT.TB in diagnosis of smear-positive tuberculosis were 88.6％,88.5％,91.2％ and 85％,while in diagnosis of sputum smearnegative tuberculosis,the sensitivity was 80％,specificity was 88.5％,positive predictive value was 84.2％ and negative predictive value was 85.2％ ( P ＞ 0.05 ).SFCs of hole A and hole B in 20 patients with sputum culture-positive and qualitative assay-positive pulmonary tuberculosis were 75.50 (41.25 -116.25 ) and 56.25 ( 105.00 -225.00) before the treatment.After 2-month antituberculosis treatment,the SFCsofhole A and hole B were 41.0 (18.0-68.75) and 72.50 (42.25- 158.75),which were significantly lower than those before treatment (Z =- 3.213 and - 3.622,P ＜ 0.05 ).Ater 6-month antituberculosis treatment,the SFCs of hole A and hole B were 25.00 (5.75 - 52.25) and 55.00 (6.25 -122.50),which were significantly lower than those before and 2-month after antituberculosis treatment (vs.before treatment:Z =- 3.921 and - 3.923,P ＜ 0.05 ; vs.2-month antituberculosis treatment:Z =- 3.926 and - 3.884,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions T-SPOT.TB assay possess satisfactory sensitivity and specificity in diagnosis of tuberculosis infection,especially for sputum-negative pulmonary tuberculosis.It is also of value in monitoring antituberculosis treatment.

AIM: To investigate the effects of fibronectin (FN) on the proliferation and collagen synthesis in cultured rat cardiac fibroblasts (CFb) derived from SHR (CFb SHR ) and WKY (CFb WKY ). METHODS: CFb derived from 12-week-old spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and WKY was cultured by outgrowth of tissue block. Cell proliferation of CFb was measured by cell number counting and [ 3H]-TdR incorporation using 24-well plates pre-coated with 5 ?g/cm 2 of FN. Collagen synthesis was determined by [ 3H]-proline incorporation. RESULTS: As compared with control, the cell number of fibroblasts derived from SHR and WKY were significantly increased to 163.75% and 170.42% respectively after 72 h incubation with FN in the presence of 0.4% FCS from a intial cell density of 1?10 4 cells/mL. DNA synthesis of CFb was markedly promoted by FN [CFb SHR : ( 44?734 ? 8?981 )counts/min vs ( 29?233 ? 6?746 ) counts/min, P

Aim To investigate the effects of an angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blocker,candesartan, on aorta oxidative stress-LOX-1 pathway in salt-loaded stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP).Methods 12-week-old salt-loaded SHRSP were treated with candesartan(1.0 mg?kg-1?d-1)or a diuretic, trichlormethiazide(TCM,1.6 mg?kg-1?d-1) or no treatment(n=6) in each for 2 weeks. Age-matched salt-loaded WKY rats were served as control(n=6).Systolic blood pressure(SBP)was measured weekly throughout the 2-week period by means of the tail-cuff method.Thoracic aortas were extracted and 24 h urine was collected.NAD(P)H oxidase subunits(p22 phox, p47 phox and gp91 phox)mRNA expression in aorta were assayed by real-time PCR. LOX-1 and type Ⅳ collogen mRNA expression were examined by RT-PCR. gp91 phox and LOX-1 protein expression in aorta were assayed by immunohistochemistry.Urinary albumin excretion was examined by ELISA.Results At the end of the 2nd week, SBP was significantly higher in salt-loaded SHRSP than that in salt-loaded WKY rats. Treatment with candesartan and TCM significantly decreased SBP in salt-loaded SHRSP at similar levels.NAD(P)H oxidase subunits (p47 phox and gp91 phox)and LOX-1 mRNA expression in aorta were markedly higher in salt-loaded SHRSP than those in salt-loaded WKY rats.Candesartan and TCM had the effect of reducing the systolic blood pressure at similar levels. Candesartan significantly down-regulated aorta p22 phox, gp91 phox,LOX-1 and type Ⅳ collogen mRNA expression and decreased urine albumin excretion in salt-loaded SHRSP(P

Objective To explore the related risk factors of severe mycoplasma pneumonia in children.Methods 86 children with mycoplasma pneumonia were selected as the observation group.At the same time,30 normal children were selected as the control group.The observation group included 33 cases of mild mycoplasma pneumo nia(A group) and 53 cases of severe mycoplasma pneumonia(B group).The clinical data of the three groups were ret rospectively analyzed,and the related risk factors of severe mycoplasma pneumonia in children were analyzed.Results The risk factors of severe mycoplasma pneumonia in children were age ＞ 5 years (x2 =28.776,P ＜ 0.05),immunoglobulin IgG(x2 =3.004,P ＜ 0.05),immunoglobulin IgM (x2 =2.147,P ＜ 0.05),immunoglobulin IgA (x2 =2.036,P ＜ 0.05),WBC (x2 =6.119,P ＜ 0.05),neutrophil percentage (x2 =8.374,P ＜ 0.05),the positive rate of CD8(x2 =11.665,P＜0.05),the positive rate of CD4(x2 =12.901,P＜0.05).Conclusion For children with risk factors of severe mycoplasma pneumonia should be early diagnosed,prevented and treated,thereby reducing the burden on patients.

Objective To investigate the role of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(p38MAPK) pathway in the proliferation of SHR vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC) induced by angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ) and platelet-derived growth factor-BB(PDGF-BB).Methods VSMC were obtained from SHR thoracic aorta.DNA synthesis was quantified by measuring [3H]-thymidine incorporation.The p38MAPK activity was evaluated by immunobloting technique with phospho-p38MAPK antibody.Results 1) Ang Ⅱ(10-8-10-6 mol/L),PDGF(3-30 ng/L) dose-dependently increased the proliferation activity of VSMC([3H]-TdR incorporation).Ang Ⅱ(10-7 mol/L) or PDGF(10 ng/L) significantly increased [3H]-TdR incorporation rate in VSMCs(Ang Ⅱ:11 588?1322 vs control 2546?207 counts/min,P
