Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 1994;0(08):-
Objective To study the mechanism of anti-inflammatory effects of licorice flavonoids(LF) isolated from the roots of Glycyrrhiza uralensis(licorice) on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced lung inflammation in mice.Methods Mice were intratracheally instillated with either LPS(4 mg/kg) or saline.At 6 or 24 h after LPS intratracheal instillation,pathological examination and bronchoalveolar lavage were performed and the lung wet/dry weight ratio as an index of acute lung injury was assessed.Then,the numbers of total leukocytes,neutrophils and the activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and TNF-? protein in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) were measured.LPS-induced myeloporoxidase(MPO) activity and expressions of TNF-? and IL-1? at the mRNA levels and TNF-? at the protein level in lung tissues were determined by RT-PCR and ELISA.Results LPS caused a severe lung inflammation,as indicated by the pathological findings and the lung wet/dry weight ratio.However,oral LF could attenuate these LPS-induced abnormalities.LF could decrease the numbers of total leukocyte cells and neutrophils,and increase the levels of SOD and TNF? BALF.In addition,LF significantly suppressed the MPO activity,TNF-? and IL-1? mRNA expression levels,and TNF-? protein level in the lung tissues.Conclusion Inhibition of inflammatory cytokines expressions and regulation of oxidation/antioxidation of LF may be its anti-inflammatory mechanism in LPS-induced lung inflammation in mice.

Clinical Medicine of China 2013;(5):509-512
Objective To study the relation between kidney function impairment and respiratory tract infections(RTI) in the elderly.Methods Two hundred and twenty-four patients above 65 years old were divided into five groups according to stages of chronic renal disease and estimated glomerular filtration rate (e GFR):(A group,n =65):≥90 ml/(min · 1.73 m2),(B group,n =55):60-89 ml/(min · 1.73 m2),(C group,n =27):30-59 ml/(min · 1.73 m2),(D group,n =28):15-29 ml/(min · 1.73 m2) and(E group,n =49):< 15 ml/(min · 1.73 m2).Taking A group as the control baseline.Logistic regression was employed to analyze the relationship between kidney function and RTL Results Compare with A group(10.8%,7/65),the incidences of RTI in three groups(C group,D group and E group were 63.0% (17/27),85.7% (24/28) and 100% (49/49) respectively.The incidence in these groups was higher than that in A group(x2 =26.95,49.46 and 89.00 respectively,P < 0.05).We identified the risk factors with RTI were smoking (Waldx2 =17.66,P < 0.01),respiratory underlying diseases(Waldx2 =14.38,P <0.01),invasive operation history(Waldx2 =4.50,P < 0.05),diabetes (Waldx2 =3.86,P < 0.05),stay in hospital for above 2 weeks (Waldx2 =18.18,P < 0.01),Gender(Waldx2 =4.12,P < 0.05),eGFR (Waldx2 =13.57,P < 0.01).After adjusting for other risk factors of RTI,Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of RTI still increased with the decrease of eGFR (eGFR≥90 ml/(min · 1.73 m2):(Waldx2 =0.053,P >0.05);60-89 ml/(min · 1.73 m2):(Waldx2 =0.046,P>0.05) ;30-59 ml/(minl · 1.73 m2):(Waldx2 =7.61,P<0.05),15-29 ml/(min · 1.73 m2):(Waldx2 =4.38,P<0.05); <15 ml/(min · 1.73 m2):(Waldx2 =13.57,P<0.01)).Conclusion Kidney function impairment in patients above 65 years old is an independent risk factor for RTI.
6.Detection of highly producing AmpC enzymes, extended-spectrum β-lactamases and drug resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii
International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2008;29(10):875-877
Objective To study the drug resistance and production status of highly producing AmpC enzymes, extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and drug resistance in Acinetobacter bau-mannii. Methods Drug sensitivity test was performed with Kirby-Bauer method. ESBLs were detected with phenotype confirmatory test (double-disk synergy test), and highly producing AmpC enzymes were measured with phenotype screening method. Results 93 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii were mainly obtained from respiratory department and neurosurgery, and isolated from sputum/pharyngeal stab, raw surface/wound secretion and urine samples. 15 strains (16.1%) of highly producing AmpCenzyme-producing Acinetobacter baumannii were detected, so were 10 strains (10. 8%) of ESBLs-pro-ducing isolates. All enzymes-producing strains displayed multi-resistant, and their resistant rates to the third cephalosporin, penicillins and aztreonam were much higher than enzymes non-producing ones. None was detected resistant to imipenem. Conclusion Occurrence of highly producing AmpC en-zymes and extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) is one of causes for Acinetobacter baumannii multi-resistance. It suggests that detection of ESBLs-producing isolates should be strengthened so as to prevent their outbreak and spread.
