Chinese Journal of Dermatology 1994;0(06):-
Objective To investigate the mechanism of mizolastine inhibiting allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) in murine model. Methods The murine model of allergic contact dermatitis by topical DNFB was used. Using this model murine inhibition of ear swelling was observed after oral administration of mizolastine in different doses. The levels of IFN-?, TNF-? and IL-4 in the sera of these mice were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results Murine ear swellings were markedly suppressed in each dose group of mizolastine (P 0.05). Different doses of mizolastine inhibited the expression of these three cytokines to different degrees. Conclusion The therapeutic effect of mizolastine on murine ACD may be played by inhibiting the expression of some cytokines.

AIM To study the protective effect of TFA against cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury. METHORDS The cerebral ischemia model in mice was made by means of ligating bilalateral common carotid arteries.The mice survive rate during 6 h was observed,and malondialdehyde (MDA) in the ischemic cerebral cortex was measured. Using nitrogen anoxia model in mice,the survive time was observed. Ligating bilateral common carotid arteries and descending blood pressure,the cerebral ischemia reperfusion model in rabbits was established. The brain of rabbits was initiated by ischemia for 60 min followed by 30 min of reperfusion. The electroencephalogra phy (EEG) of cerebral ischemia and reperfusion was recorded. Malondialdehyde(MDA) and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) in the ischemic cerebral cortex were measured. RESULTS TFA(30,60,120 mg?kg -1 ) prolonged the survive time after anoxia in mice,enchanced the survive rate after cerebral ischemia and inhibited the increasing of MDA contents in the cerebral cortex in mice.TFA(12,24,48 mg?kg -1 ) inhibitid the changes of EEG,MDA and LDH induced by cerebral ischemia reperfusion in rabbits. CONCLUSION TFA has protective effects on cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury,the mechanism may relate to attenuating free radical and lipid peroxidation.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the economics of caspofungin vs. voriconazole in initial empirical antifungal therapy of fe-brile neutropenia(FN). METHODS:Based on two international multiple center clinical trials about caspofungin vs. voriconazole in initial empirical antifungal therapy of FN,combined with domestic clinical experts'opinions about drug selection,a decision tree model was developed. TreeAge Pro 2011 software was used to analyze the cost and effectiveness of 10-day therapy of caspofungin or voriconazole as initial empirical antifungal therapy. RESULTS:The direct medical cost of caspofungin group was lower than that of voriconazole group(52826.71 yuan vs. 58246.70 yuan). The success rate and survival rate were higher than voriconazole group(33.95% vs. 25.63%、92.36% vs. 91.87%). Whether the success rate or the survival rate of patients as the effect indicators, cost-effectiveness ratio of caspofungin group was lower than that of voriconazole group. Moreover,incremental cost effectiveness ra-tio and sensitivity analysis confirmed this conclusion. CONCLUSIONS:Caspofungin has more advantages than voriconazole in cost and effectiveness as initial empirical antifungal therapy in patients with FN.
