Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2015;(8):149-151
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of alprostadil, benazepril combined with Danqi Decoction and herbal enema in treatment of diabetic renal proteinuria.Methods Sixty cases of diabetic renal proteinuria patients were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group.Each group was 30 cases.The control group was given alprostadil(0.2μg/mL,2 times per day) and benazepril(10 mg,one time per day), while the experimental group was given Danqi Decoction combined with herbal enema on the basis of the control group(one time per day).The urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, quantitative of proteinuria (in 24 hours) and the excretion of urinary micro-albumin of both groups were all tested after three weeks of continuous treatment.ResuIts After three weeks of treatment, the laboratory values of urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, quantitative of proteinuria in 24 hours of both groups were all improved compared with those before treatment(P<0.05).Furthermore, the quantitative of proteinuria(in 24 hours) of the experimental group was significantly less than that of the control group(P<0.05), and the excretion of urinary micro-albumin of the experimental group was significantly less than that of the control group(P<0.05).ConcIusion The therapy of alprostadil, benazepril combined with Danqi Decoction and herbal enema is effective for diabetic renal proteinuria patients, and can significantly reduce proteinuria and renal injury.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and risk factors for allogeneic transfusion after unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods 852 patients (663 female and 189 male) underwent primary unilateral TKA from January 2014 to December 2014 were included.Average age of included patients were 64.9±7.9 years old (22-87).829 patients were osteoarthritis,others rheumatoid arthritis.The ASA score,BMI,doctor groups,diabetes,hypertension,thrombus (duplex color Doppler ultrasonography),pre-HGB,pre-HCT,pre-TP,pre-Cr,pre-BUN,pre-PT,operation time,starting MABP of the operation,anesthesia and TXA were collected.Potential risk factors for allogeneic transfusion were analyzed statistically via univariate and multivariate regression analysis.Results The preoperative hemoglobin level in 71 (8.3%) patients were lower than that in normal (male <120 g/L,female <110 g/L).The hematokrit in 27 (3.2%) patients were lower than that in normal (male <40%,female <37%).TXA was used in 740 (86.9%) patients during the operation.Allogeneic transfusion was performed in 202 (23.7%) the patients after TKA.The differences in the following items within two groups were statistically significant via univariate analysis (P<0.05),female and male,≥70 and < 70 years,pre-HGB normal and low,pre-HCT normal and low and with and without TXA.Female [OR=2.283,95%CI (1.405,3.711)],patient age of 70 years or older [OR=2.048,95%CI (2.064,4.292)],preoperative hemoglobin level low [male < 120 g/L,female < 110 g/L,OR=1.506,95%CI (1.376,4.427)] and preoperative hematokrit below normal [male < 40%,female < 37%,OR=3.412,95%CI (1.086,6.591)] were independent predictors for postoperative allogeneic transfusion in multivariate regression analysis.Conclusion The allogeneic transfusion rate after unilateral TKA was 23.7%.Female,older than 70 years and preoperative anemia were independent predictors for postoperative allogeneic transfusion after TKA.TXA can effectively decrease the postoperative allogeneic transfusion rate and the amount of transfusion.

Objective To understand the influence of meteorological factors on Oncomelania density in natural condition and provide scientific evidence for the control of the spread of schistosomiasis and Oncomelania.Methods Based on the Oncomelania survey data in spring and ground meteorological observation data of Qianjiang from 1990 to 2014, the first-order autoregressive analysis method was used for trend fitting and disassemble, and the correlation between the change rate of Oncomelania density and various meteorological factors in different periods were analyzed.Results The greatest influence of meteorological factors on Oncomelania density was temperature,followed by precipitation.The average minimum temperature in January and from December to February had predominant influence on Oncomelania density and frame occurrence rate of living Oncomelania (FORLO) respectively.The rise (fall) of average minimum temperature in January by 1 ℃ would lead to the increase (decrease) of Oncomelania density by 5.080%-6.710%;The rise (fall) of average minimum temperature from December to February by 1 ℃ would lead to the increase (decrease) of FORLO by 15.521%-15.928%.The period with the biggest influence of precipitation on Oncomelania density was from November to April, as the rainfall declined >20%, drought might occur, which would cause the reduction of Oncomelania density.Sunshine from September to November had some correlations with the change of Oncomelania density and FORLO.Statistical regression models for the change of Oncomelania density, FORLO and meteorological factors based on correlation analysis were established respectively.Conclusion Weed removal in Oncomelania areas before December is beneficial to reduce the surface temperature and soil moisture content, which would result in Oncomelania density reduction in some extent.It' s notable that the winter temperature is in rise in Hubei province along with global climate change, causing the Oncomelania density to increase, to which more attention should be paid.
