OBJECTIVE To observe the clinical therapeutic effect of levofloxacin combined with cefoperazone-sulbactam on pulmonary infection caused by multidrug-resistant(MDR) bacillus infection.METHODS Eighty five patients with pulmonary infection caused by MDR bacillus infection were randomly divided into treatment group and control group,combined levofloxacin and cefoperazone-sulbactam were used in 45 patients of treatment group,ceftriaxone sodium was used in 40 patients of control group,their therapeutic effect was observed 7 days later.RESULTS Thirty four patients of treatment group were cured,7 patients with excellence,3 patients with improvement and only 1 patient was invalid.The total effective rate was 91%.Clinical manifestation such as cough,expectoration,and dyspnea had obviously improved.Sputum culture darkening rate was high.CONCLUSIONS Combined therapy of levofloxacin and cefoperazone-sulbactam has definite therapeutic effect on pulmonary infection caused by MDR bacillus infection.

AIM: To explore the main risk factors related to the incidence of endophthalmitis in patients after cataract surgery in China and to provide evidence for prevention.METHODS: The results of 5 studies on the main risk factors of endophthalmitis in patients after cataract surgery were analyzed by Meta-analysis method.
RESULTS: The pooled odds ratio values and 95% CI of age(≥70), diabetes, vitreous overflow, operative time ( ≥ 10min ), common operating room and control of using time of topical anesthetic were 1. 81(95% CI: 1. 43-1. 69),3. 66 (95% CI: 1. 64 - 8. 16),2. 21 (95% CI: 1. 46 -3. 32),3. 54 (95% CI: 2. 47 - 5. 06),2. 77 (95% CI: 2. 07 -3. 72),2. 09(95% CI: 1. 53-2. 86).
CONCLUSION: The main risk factors of endophthalmitis were the age(≥70), diabetes, vitreous overflow, operative time(≥10min), common operating room and control of using time of topical anesthetic.

Dry age-related macular degeneration(AMD)is a prevalent form of irreversible blindness worldwide in the elderly population with an increasing incidence in China.It is found that some dry AMD will develop to wet AMD and therefore damage visual function.Pathogenesis of AMD is below understand now,but it is thought to be related to the light-induced ocular damage,oxidative stress response,extracellular disposition and immunology.Up to now,effective and safe prevention and treatment methods of AMD are still studying,especially wet AMD,but the concern on dry AMD is not enough.Some basic and clinical pharmaceutics researches on AMD include antioxidants,anti-extracellular disposition drugs and anti-inflammatory agents.With the rise of aging population,we should pay special attention to the research on pathogenesis,diagnosis and treatment of dry AMD.

Objective To investigate the relative risk factors of glucose metabolism disorder in newborn infants.Methods Clinical information of 791 newborns suffered from glucose metabolism disorders who had been hospitalized in NICU from Jan.2004 to May 2007 were analyzed retrospectively.Four hundred and thirty-nine cases presented with hypoglycemia,275 cases presented with hyperglycemia,and 77 cases presented with both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.Data of risk factors were processed with both ?2 test and multiple Logistic regression analysis.Results The statistic analysis showed that low birth weight[258 cases(58.77%)],asphyxia[217 cases(49.43%)],acidosis[146 cases(33.26%)],hypothermia[128 cases(29.16%)],maternal gestational hypertension[83 cases(18.91%)],pneumonia[63 cases(14.35%)],anomaly of placenta[35 cases(7.97%)],maternal diabetes[17 cases(3.87%)] and septicaemia[10 cases(2.28%)]were significant hypoglycemia risk factors(according to the level of morbidity).Pneumonia[98 cases(35.64%)],asphyxia[129 cases(27.23%)],hypoxemia[61 cases(22.18%)]and septicaemia[24 cases(8.73%)]were significant hyperglycemia risk factors.Acidosis[33 cases(42.86%)],pneumonia[27 cases(35.06%)]and maternal diabetes[6 cases(7.79%)] were significant risk factors for neonates with both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.Conclusion Dynamic monitoring of blood glucose concentration and reasonable adjustment is recommended for neonates with risk factors to lower morbility and mortality.

OBJECTIVE:To select the optimum watering extraction process of yangyinqingwei oral liquid. METHODS: Influence of extraction time upon the extraction of volatile oil was observed; The orthogonal design was adopted to observe the extraction process of weight of the extracts and the content of paeoniflorin. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The optimum watering extraction process of yangyinqingwei oral liquid was that medicinal materials were dipped for 30 minutes before decoction,then the extraction of volatile oil in saposhnikovia divaricata and pogostemon cablinlasted for 2 hours, next the residue of drugs and the other drugs were decocted together, and finally water of 8 times as much as the drugs were added and the mixture was extracted 3 times, with 1.5 hours for each time.

Objective To explore the clinical significance and changes of tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?)and interleukin-6(IL-6)level in children with acute viral myocarditis(AVM).Methods TNF-? and IL-6 level in serum from 53 AVM children and 20 healthy children were measured by radio-immunoassay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The relation between the levels of TNF-? and IL-6 in serum with the occurrence and development in acute viral myocarditis was analyzed.Results Thirty-two were males and 21 females in the 53 AVM children.The ages ranged from 3-11 years old.There were 12 males and 8 females in control group.The serum level of TNF-? and IL-6 were(526.7?32.9),(3.23?0.53)mg/L in AVM group and(383.1?27.5),(1.63?0.22)mg/L in control group.There were significant difference between the 2 groups(Pa

Vitreo-retinal surgery is one of the effective methods in treating severe vitreoretinopathy.However,there remains great variance in surgical quality,outcomes and success rates among hospitals of different areas in China.This article focuses on how to im- prove in surgical outcomes and success rate as well as to avoid complications of vitreo-retinal surgery.Specific issues are addressed on such as indications and timing of vitreo-retinal surgery,management of pre-operative patients,applications of new appliances and mate- rials,maneuver of surgical techniques and nurturing appropriate habits of surgery.

Castor(Ricinus communis L.),a high energy-stored and industrial raw-material plant species,is of great value in its application.Progresses in castor biotechnology were summarized in terms of tissue culture and genetic transformation.The results of studies on tissue culture indicated that application of TDZ(thiadiazuron) gave the maximum rate of shoot proliferation in various exogenous hormones when embryo axis was used as explant.On this ground,the in vitro regeneration system was established.The studies on castor genetic transformation showed that the Agrobaterium-mediated method was the most suitable one in different castor transformation methods.The hygromycin is suitable to selection of castor transfomants while castor embryo axis is insensitive to kanamycin.The possibilities of breeding of new castor varieties and improvement of castor production via biotechnology were also discussed.
