Objective To investigate the clinical and endoscopic features of ischemic colitis (IC),to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods A retrospective analysis of 62 inpatients who were diag-nosed as IC was performed.The patients'clinical data,clinical manifestations,complications,laboratory tests,imaging tests,colonoscopy,pathology,diagnosis,treatment,follow -up and other information were analyzed.Results Of 62 patients,there were 1 7 males and 45 females,mean age was (66.1 ±1 0.7)years old,more than 60 years of age there were 47 cases (75.81 %),of which 38 cases (61 .29%)showed the presence of one or more underlying disea-ses.All patients had acute onset,57 cases (91 .94%)had abdominal pain,bloody stools occurred in 56 cases (90.32%).Colonoscopy revealed 60 cases as a transient type,2 cases of stenosis,no gangrene type,lesions were mainly left colon.All patients were given fasting,anti -infection,microcirculation improvement and intravenous nutri-tional support,with no serious complications or transfer surgery occurred,colonoscopy was reviewed 4 -8weeks, 62 cases were healing or had improvement,2 patients in the 3 -year observation period was readmitted attack,the recurrence rate was 3.23%.Conclusion Ischemic colitis is more common in older people,to strengthen the aware-ness and vigilance of the disease,early diagnosis based on colonoscopy as a primary diagnostic modality and prompt treatment has positive significance.

Objective To investigate the features of HIV-1-specific Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte (CTL)responses in Chinese.Methods The HIV-1-specific CTL responses were analyzed in an IFN-?ELISPOT assay by using a matrix system containing 820 overlapping peptides spanning the entire HIV-1 Clade B and C consensus sequence.Results The HIV-1-specific CTL response almost clus- tered in Gag and Nef across either HIV-1 Clade B(HIV-1 B)or HIV-1 Clade C(HIV-1 C),while oth- er proteins could also be recognized at different level.In comparison of the response between HIV-1 Clade B and Clade C,the magnitude and frequency was roughly identical with some difference found at single-peptide level.The most frequently recognized peptides of HIV-1 B were located in Nef,GPKEP- FRDYVDRFYKTLR(5/17,29.4%)and Gag,LWVYHTQGYFPDWQNY(5/17,29.4%),while the most frequently recognized peptide of HIV-1 C was located in Gag GPKEPFRDYVDRFFKTLR(6/17, 35.29%).Conclusions HIV-1-specific CTL responses clustered within HIV-1 Gag and Nef in Chinese. However,there was some difference between HIV-1 B and HIV-1 C at single-peptide level.

Aim To evaluate retrospectively the effect of genetic polymorphisms in CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 on cyclosporine pharmacokinetics during the early period in renal transplant patients.Methods Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism was performed to genotype for CYP3A4*18B and CYP3A5*3.Cyclosporine whole blood levels were measured by fluorescence polarization immunoassay.Results The frequencies of CYP3A4*18B and CYP3A5*3 variant alleles were 0.235(95 CI:0.235~ 0.241)and 0.770(95 CI:0.767~0.773),respectively in 63 of renal transplantation patients, and these alleles exhibited incomplete linkage disequilibrium. The median (range) value of cyclosporine dose adjusted blood trough concentrations (C0/D) and C0 in CYP3A4*1/*1 genotype patients was higher than that in CYP3A4*1/*18B and CYP3A*18B/*18B patients, the same result was found in CYP3A5 expression (CYP3A5*3/*1 and CYP3A5*1/*3) (P

Objective To find out the changes of endothelial cell function and coagulation-fibrinolysis system in maintenance hemodialysis(MHD)patients with diabetic nephropathy(DN).Methods The plasma levels of TM,PAI-1,TAT and PAP in 28 DN-MHD,34 non-DN MHD and 40 controls were measured by ELISA.Results (1)The levels of TM,PAI-1,TAT and PAP in both DN group and non-DN group were significantly higher than those in control group,P

Objective To investigate the changes of plasma soluble CD40 (sCD40) and soluble CD40L (sCD40L) in patients with chronic renal failure( CRF) and their potiential mechanisms in renal injury and immunodeficiency. Method From September to December 2006, 30 CRF patients without hemodialysis (CRF group) in department of Nephrology and 30 uremic patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis for more than 3 months ( HD group) in dialysis center in Beijing TongRen Hospital of Capital Medical University, were enrolled in this study. The normal control group consisted of 20 healthy volunteers who matched with study subjects for age and gender. The levels of plasma sCD40 and sCD40L were measured by the method of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The relationship between sCD40, sCD40L and related factors were analyzed, and the influence of hemodialysis on sCD40 and sCD40L were observed. ANOVA and Pearson correlation analysis were used in statistical analysis. Results (1) The sCD40 levels in CRF group and HD group were significantly higher than those in control group(P ＜ 0.01). The sCD40 levels in HD group were also higher than those in CRF group(P ＜ 0.01). (2) The sCD40L levels in CRF group and HD group were significantly higher than those in control group (P ＜ 0.01). The sCD40L levels in HD group were slightly higher than those in CRF group, but without significant difference (P ＞ 0.05). (3) In CRF group, the sCD40 levels correlated positively with serum creatinine (Scr) and C-reactive protein(CRP) (r = 0.637,P ＜ 0.01,r = 0.551,P ＜ 0.05). The correlations between sCD40L and Scr and CRT were also seen (r = 0.553, P ＜ 0.05, r = 0.686,P ＜ 0.01), whereas the correlation with blood pressure,hemoglobin (Hb), platelet(PLT), white blood cell(WBC), serum albumin(Alb), glucose (Glu),blood urea nitrogen(Bun)and serum lipid was no seen (P ＞ 0.05). In HI) group, there were no correlations between sCD40,sCD40L and above parameters (P ＞ 0.05), there were also no correlations between sCD40, sCD40L and duration of the treatment by dialysis and dialysis adequacy(Kt/V) (P ＞ 0.05). (4)After one HD session, the post-HD levels of sCD40 were slightly higher than pre-HD levels, but without statistical difference ( P ＞ 0.05). The post-HD levels of sCD40L were obviously lower than pre-HD levels, with significant difference (P ＜ 0.01). Conclusions The levels of sCD40 and sCLMOL in CRF patients,particularly in HD patients, were significantly higher than those of controls, which may participate in pathogenesis of renal injury and immunodeficiency.

Plant growth retardant as one of plant growth regulator can inhibit the cell division, elongation and growth rate in shoot apical meristem (SAM), which can be reversed by gibberellin regulate the product of photosynthesis transfer to the root and rhizome part. As commonly used plant growth retardant, paclobutrazol, uniconazole, chlorocholine chloride, mepiquat chloride, choline chloride and daminozide are used to promote the growth of root and rhizome, call as "zhuanggenling", "pengdasu", "pengdaji" etc. Single or recombination of plant growth regulator is registered as pesticide, and called as pesticide "zhuanggenling" in this paper. Growth regulator which registered as a foliar fertilizer or fertilization was called agricultural fertilizer "zhuanggenling" in this paper. The author investigate the usage of "zhuanggenling" in the root and rhizome of medicinal plants cultivation from 2012 to 2014 in Sichuan province, Huangyuan town, Mianyang (Ophiopogonis Radix); Pengzhou Aoping town (Chuanxiong Rhizoma); Pengshan Xiejia town (Alismatis Rhizoma); Jiangyou Taiping town and Zhangming town (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata); Yunnan Wenshan (Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma); Henan province, Wuzhidafeng Town (Rehmanniae Radix, Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix, Dioscoreae Rhizoma); Gansu Min county (Codonopsis Radix, Angelicae Sinensis Radix); Gansu Li county (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma). The result showed that "zhuanggenling" were applied in the most medicinal plant cultivation except Rhei Radix et Rhizoma. It has been applied widespreadly in Ophiopogonis Radix, Alismatis Rhizoma, Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix, Codonopsis Radix; Rehmanniae Radix, commonly in Angelicae Sinensis Radix application, and occasionally in Chuanxiong Rhizoma, Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma and Dioscoreae Rhizoma. In 53 collected sample from plantation areas, fifteen (28%) were pesticide "zhuanggenling", thirty-eight (72%) were pesticide "zhuanggenling". UPLC analysis results showed that 38 farmers fertilizer "zhuanggenling" content of 6 kinds of plant growth retardant. It is regarded that fertilizer "zhuanggenling" was dominant in medicinal plant cultivation, and that the plant growth retardant is added widespreadly in farm fertilizer "zhuanggenling". All evidence proves conclusively that "zhuanggenling" have been used in the proper way, whereas some others have been misused or even abused in the use regarding to type, number, use frequency. The root or rhizoma are increased to 20%-200%. But there is lack of evaluation to appraise the quality of medicinal materials from the aspects of research or industry. "zhuanggenling" has become a important Chemical control material besides fertilizer, insecticidal sterilization of pesticide

OBJECTIVE:To study the pharmacokinetics of triptolide in Tripterygium glycosides tablet in normal rats and adju-vant arthritis model rats in vivo,and provide reference for clinical rational drug use. METHODS:12 SD rats were randomly divid-ed into normal group and model group,6 in each group. Model group was subcutaneously injected complete Freund's adjuvant 0.1 mL to induce adjuvant arthritis model,normal group was subcutaneously injected the same volume of saline. After 14 d model-ing,2 groups were given Tripterygium glycosides tablet suspension 96 mg/kg intragastrically,the blood sample of eyes 0.4 mL were respectively taken before and 10,30,45,60,90,120,150,180,240,300,420 min after administration. The plasma con-centration of triptolide was determined by HPLC,the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by DAS 2.0 software,and the parameters were compared. RESULTS:The pharmacokinetic parameters of triptolide in normal group were cmax of(1.139±0.114)μg/mL,tmax of(2.167±0.606)h,t1/2α of(5.500±3.610)h,AUC0-7 h of(5.052±0.371)μg·h/mL,MRT0-7 h of(3.224±0.119)h, and CL of(11.616±2.986)mL/h;and those in model group were cmax of(0.916±0.103)μg/mL,tmax of(3.083±0.801)h,t1/2αof(5.593±1.795)h,AUC0-7 h of(4.707±0.347)μg·h/mL,MRT0-7 h of(3.429±0.139)h,and CL of(11.246±2.638) mL/h. Compared with normal group,cmax in model group was significantly decreased,tmax and MRT0-7 h were significantly prolonged(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Adjuvant arthritis can affect the pharmacokinetics of triptolide in rats in vivo,and promote its absorption and removal.

Objective To judge the effect by understanding the change of the blood related indexes before and after the applica-tion of lamivudine combined with silibinin treatment for treating E antigen positive chronic hepatitis B to provide the basis for the individualized therapy.Methods 226 cases of E antigen positive chronic hepatitis B were selected and divided into the mild group (55 cases),moderate group (94 cases)and severe group(77 cases)according to the degree of liver function injury.The 3 groups were given oral lamivudine 100 mg once daily and oral silybinin 70mg,3 times a day.The course of treatment was 6 months;the re-lated blood indexes before and after treatment were analyzed.Results After 6 months of treatment,the recovery rate of ALT,E an-tigen negative conversion rate and HBV-DNA negative conversion rate in the mild group and the moderate group were improved in different degrees,and those in the severe group were significantly increased(P <0.05).Conclusion Lamivudine combined with sili-binin treatment can inhibit the replication of HBV-DNA more effectively,promote the recovery rate of serum ALT significantly,im-prove the E antigen negative conversion rate,especially for the patients with severe liver function injury;which improve the curative effect in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B in some extent.

Objective:To analyze the intervention effect of a successfully created platform“intelligent interactive software for drug monitoring warning” on the decrease of medication errors and adverse drug events,and the increase of the drug treatment level. Meth-ods:The intensive care unit ( ICU) of our hospital was selected as the experiment group, and the ICU of the other two hospitals was used as the contrast group. During the first 18 months, both groups were without intervention. During the latter 18 months, the plat-form was used in the experiment group, and the clinical pharmacists employed alerts of the system in the practice of interaction with doctors to correct the medication errors. No intervention was performed in the contrast group. In addition, all adverse drug events in both groups were surveyed. Results:During the first period, 50 preventable adverse drug events were discovered with the incidence of 6. 8% in the experimental group. During the second period, the correct rate of the alerts was 97. 7%. Through the effective interven-tion,the alerts and their percentage in the prescriptions were from the maximum of 68 and 1. 1% to the minimum of 6 and 0. 1%. To-tally 17 preventable adverse drug events were found with the incidence of 2. 4% after the intervention. The decline was significant, 848 991 yuan of hospitalization expenses was saved, and 294 days of the length of stay were shortened. There was no change in the contrast group, and there was no change in unpreventable adverse drug events in the two groups before and after the intervention. Conclusion:The intelligent interactive software for drug monitoring warning can examine many sorts of medication errors,and decline the inci-dence rate of preventable adverse drug events in ICU. However, it needs to continuously improve the intelligence. Clinical pharmacists need to master the relevant conditions of patients to detect the irrational drug use based on the clinical practice for each patient.
