Nimodipine is the second generation of dihydropyridine Ca2+ antagonist. The scope of its clinical application has been expanded because of the excellent curative effects on cerebrovascular diseases. Nimodipine is commonly available on the market as oral or injection preparation,which has to be given several times per day. It may induce peripheral cholinergia side effects and has low bioavailability. Therefore,it is necessary to develop novel drug formulation with optimized delivery system. In the present review, an attempt is made to discuss the current progress of nimodipine in pharmaceutics,including the difference of market situation,safety and efficacy of different dosage forms. Meanwhile,the main research directions of new dosage forms are summarized,which can pro-vide reference for developing more efficient and convenient nimodipine preparations.

Objective To observe brain functional activity of patients with arrhythmia after radiofrequency ablation with amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF).Methods Twenty-six patients with anxiety disorder after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) were included as RFCA group.Age and sex matched twenty-six healthy volunteers were included as control group.The difference of ALFF between the two groups was analyzed by two-sample t test.Partial correlation between extracted values from dysfunctional brain regions and hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) scores were investigated.Results Compared with control group,ALFF of left middle temporal gyrus,right putamen,left amygdala significantly increased,and left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC),right praecuneus,left middle frontal gyrus and right middle occipital gyus significantly decreased in RFCA group (Alphasim correction,P＜0.01).ALFF values of left DLPFC were negatively correlated with HAMA scores (r=-0.872,P=0.013).Conclusion The brain activity of RFCA patients in resting state is abnormal.ALFF can provide more evidences for the pathogenesis of the disease.

Abstract: Objective　To explore the carrying status of four common deafness genes and mutations on 10 loci in newborns in Hainan, and to analyze the molecular epidemiological characteristics of deafness genes and their loci, so as to provide scientific basis for formulating neonatal deafness gene screening strategy and promoting children's hearing health in Hainan. Methods　Newborns born in Hainan from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected as the research objects. The demographic characteristics of the research objects were collected. At the same time, the plantar blood of newborns was collected, and multiplex PCR amplification and directed hybridization combined with high-throughput sequencing technology were applied to detect 10 mutation loci on 4 common deafness genes. T-test or chi square test was used to process the data. Results　A total of 7 124 newborns were included in the study through informed consent, 219 cases of deafness gene mutation were detected with the detection rate of deafness gene of 3.07%. The detection rates of GJB2, SLC26A4, MT-RNR1 and GJB3 were 1.56% (111/7 124), 1.18% (84/7 124), 0.21% (15/7 124) and 0.11% (8/7 124) respectively. Among the 10 loci of the four genes, the positive detection rate of c.235delC locus of GJB2 was the highest, which was 1.38% (98/7 124), followed by c.919-2A>G of SLC26A4 (0.87%, 62/7 124); 2.63% (113/4 289) of the newborns who passed the preliminary hearing screening still carried the deafness gene; in terms of gene type, the detection rate of GJB2 gene in newborns who failed the hearing screening was higher than that in newborns who passed the hearing screening [2.23% (63/7 124) vs 1.12% (48/7 124)，P<0.01]; in terms of gene loci, the detection rate of c.235delC locus in newborns who failed hearing screening was higher than that in newborns who passed hearing screening [2.09% (59/7 124) vs 0.91% (39/7 124)，P<0.01]. Conclusion　The most common deafness genes types in Hainan were GJB2 and SLC26A4; The most common gene mutation sites were c.235delC and c.919-2A>G; 2.63% of the newborns who passed the preliminary hearing screening still carried the deafness gene, among which the high-risk newborns with MT-RNR1 and GJB3 genes were found. Therefore, hearing screening should be combined with deafness gene screening to improve the detection rate of children at high risk of hearing loss.

Abstract: Objective To analyze the effect of nutrition package on the nutritional status and prevalence of children in rural areas of Hainan Province, and provide scientific basis and suggestions for further improving the nutritional and health status of children in this region. Methods　Four cities and counties were randomly selected as the intervention group, and four cities and counties matched with the intervention group in terms of population, economy, social culture, maternal and child health work foundation of township health centers, physical nutrition and health status were selected as the control group.With the combination of monitoring and prospective cohort study, infants in the intervention group and the control group were studied from June 1, 2020, and they were intervened for 12 months with supplementary food nutrition package. Before and after intervention, the nutrition and health status of infants aged 6-24 months in the intervention group and the control group were investigated to evaluate the nutritional and health effects of supplementary food nutrition package for infants aged 6-24 months in rural Hainan Province. Results　A total of 999 infants were investigated, including 427 in the intervention group and 572 in the control group. After 12 months of nutritional intervention, there was no significant difference in weight-for-age Z-score (WAZ) and height-for-age Z-score (HAZ) and weight-for-height Z-score (WHZ) between the intervention group and the control group (P>0.05). The rate of emaciation of the intervention group was 1.64%, which was significantly lower than 3.67% of the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the rate of growth retardation (2.81% and 3.32%, respectively) and underweight (0.47% and 1.92%, respectively) between the intervention group and the control group (P>0.05). The rate of respiratory infection and diarrhea in the intervention group were 9.13% and 1.17%, which were significantly lower than corresponding 23.25% and 3.15% in the control group (P<0.05). The hemoglobin of the intervention group and the control group were 117.24 g/L and 114.51 g/L respectively, and the rates of anemia were 11.11% and 22.84% respectively, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions　The intervention of nutrition package in rural areas of Hainan Province has achieved the expected results, and supplementary food nutrition package has reduced the incidence of malnutrition and respiratory infection and diarrhea in recent two weeks in infants and anemia to a certain extent. We should attach great importance to the supplementary nutrition package for right-age children and promote the growth and health of children in rural areas through supplementary nutrition package, and continuously improve the nutrition and health level of children in Hainan Province.

BACKGROUND: Subsequent to liver transplantation, pulmonary infection and new drug resistant strain frequently appear due to complex pathophysiological changes and abuse of antibiotics.OBJECTIVE: To collect the clinical data of 6 cases who underwent liver transplantation, and analyze the prevention and treatment measures of pulmonary infection after liver transplantation.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Retrospective case analysis, performed in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery,First People's Hospital of Guangzhou between January and December 2004.PARTICIPANTS: Six cases that underwent liver transplantation and received treatment in the First People's Hospital of Guangzhou were recruited in the present study. All 6 cases underwent selective homologous whole liver transplantation, 5cases underwent modified orthotopic piggyback liver transplantation, and only 1 underwent classical orthotopic liver transplantation.METHODS: The clinical data of the 6 cases were retrospectively analyzed. After transplantation, basic disinfection,isolation, infection-protection measures should be taken. In addition, etiological information was collected. Chest X-ray was underwent to know the lung at the early stage. Aseptic manipulating was strictly performed during sputum aspiration.Gastrointestinal decompression and non-obstructed drainage were maintained to prevent aspiration. Moreover, preventive anti-infective treatment against the bacteria, fungi, and viruses was performed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Pulmonary infection and curative effects subsequent to liver transplantation.RESULTS: Of the 6 cases, 5 presented with pulmonary infection, including 1 at 4-11 days after transplantation and 1 at 1day after transplantation. One case died of respiratory failure. The remaining 5 cases were cured after standardized anti-infection, respiratory therapy, sputum aspiration, and nutritional support.CONCLUSION: Application of effective antibiotics, aseptic operation in sputum aspiration, and unobstructed respiratory tract drainage are important measures for treating pulmonary infection subsequent to liver transplantation.
