Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2014;37(4):137-139
Objective To observe effects of tripterygium glycosides combined with Xiangdan injection in henoch schonlein purpura nephritis (HSPN)and influence of the clotting mechanism,providing reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods 76 cases of children with allergic purpura nephritis were randomly divided into control group(n=38)and observation group(n=38)according to the random number table.Control group was given Xiangdan injection treatment.Observation group was given Xiangdan injection treatment combined with tripterygium glycoside.12 weeks was considered as a course of treatment. Results After treatment,the total efficiency rate in treatment group(94.74%)was significantly higher than control group(68.42%),which was statistically different(P <0.05).Before treatment,prothrombin time(PT),fibrinogen(FIB),activated partial thromboplastin time(APPT),platelet(PLT)levels were not significantly different between two groups;FIB and PLT levels in the control group were significantly lower than before treatment(P<0.05 ),PT and APPT had no statistically significant difference before and after treatment.After treatment in observation group,FIB and PLT levels were significantly lower than before treatment(P<0.05 ),PT level was significantly higher compared with before treatment(P<0.05 ),APTT level had no difference before and after treatment.After treatment,PT in treatment group was significantly higher than the control group(P<0.05 ),PLT in treatment group were significantly lower than the control group (P <0.05 ),FIB and APTT had no statistical difference.There was no adverse reaction in two groups after treatment.Conclusion Tripterygium glycosides combined with Xiangdan injection treatment for HSPN has significant effect,which affect the children clotting mechanism to improve the PT,FIB,PLT levels.It is safe and valuable in clinical research.

Objective:To study the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of Bacillus cereus sepsis in premature infants.Methods:From February 2011 to February 2021, 10 cases of Bacillus cereus sepsis in premature infants admitted to the Department of Neonatology of our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The 10 cases of premature infants with Bacillus cereus sepsis included 5 males and 5 females, with gestational age 27 +2~35 +2 weeks, birth weight 940~2 430 g and the age of onset 7~35 days. At the beginning, all the infants showed lethargy and recurrent apnea as the onset symptoms. 8 cases had gray color skin, 7 cases had fever, 7 cases experienced septic shock, 5 cases had neonatal seizures and 4 cases showed abdominal distension. 7 cases were complicated with purulent meningitis and 3 cases with necrotizing enterocolitis. 9 cases had significantly decreased white blood cells and platelets and significantly increased C-reactive protein and procalcitonin at the onset. Among the 7 cases of purulent meningitis, 5 cases had multiple encephalomalacia. During follow-up of all the infants, 4 cases died, 3 cases cured and 3 cases survived with severe neurological sequelae. Conclusions:Bacillus cereus sepsis is a serious infectious disease for premature infants with acute onset, rapid progress and high mortality. Complication of purulent meningitis and serious neurological sequelae are common.

Objective To explore the relationship between serum silent information regulator 2 related en-zyme(SIRT)3,SIRT6,and sepsis complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)and progno-sis.Methods Sixty-eight patients with sepsis complicated with ARDS admitted to the Baoding First Central Hospital from March 2020 to February 2022 were selected as the study objects,and were divided into mild group,moderate group and severe group according to the criteria of mild,moderate and severe ARDS.Accord-ing to the prognosis within 28 days,the patients were divided into survival group and death group.The levels of serum SIRT3 and SIRT6 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The sequential organ fail-ure assessment(SOFA)scores,acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ)scores,the levels of serum SIRT3 and SIRT6 in each group were compared.The clinical data of patients were collected,the influencing factors of mortality in patients with sepsis complicated with ARDS was analyzed by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression.The predictive value of serum SIRT3 and SIRT6 of mortality in patients with sepsis complicated with ARDS was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The levels of serum SIRT3 and SIRT6 in moderate group and severe group were lower than those in mild group,the scores of SOFA and APACHE Ⅱ were higher than those in mild group,the levels of serum SIRT3 and SIRT6 in severe group were lower than those in moderate group,and the scores of SOFA and APACHE Ⅱwere higher than those in moderate group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences in age,mechanical ventilation time,lactate,arterial oxygenation index[arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2)/inhaled oxygen concentration(FiO2)],C reactive protein(CRP),interleukin(IL)-6,SIRT3,SIRT6,SOFA score and APACHE Ⅱ score between the two groups(P<0.05).Longer mechanical ventilation time,higher lactic acid,higher CRP,higher IL-6,higher SOFA score and higher APACHE Ⅱ score were all risk factors for death in sepsis complicated with ARDS within 28 days,while larger PaO2/FiO2,high-er SIRT3 and higher SIRT6 were protective factors(P<0.05).ROC curve results showed that the area under the curve and 95%CI of serum SIRT3,SIRT6 levels,SOFA score and APACHE Ⅱ score were 0.706(0.493-0.922),0.722(0.497-0.954),0.753(0.570-0.922),0.710(0.442-0.952)and 0.872(0.761-0.976),respectively when applied alone and in combination.Conclusion Serum SIRT3 and SIRT6 levels are decreased in patients with sepsis complicated with ARDS,and the lower the serum SIRT3 and SIRT6 levels are as the disease worsens,the two can help predict the prognosis of patients with sepsis complicated with ARDS.

Objective To compare the results of accumulation and continuation methods in indoor radon measurement. Methods The radon concentrations in 30 households in 7 provincial capital cities of China were simultaneously measured using both accumulation and continuation methods. Results The radon concentration measured by accumulation method in 30 households ranged from 21 to 323 Bq/m3, with a median M(P25, P75) of 70.5 (43.8, 111). The radon concentration measured by the continuation method ranged from 16.1 to 258 Bq/m³, with a median M(P25, P75) of 100 (51.3, 141). The average relative percent deviation between the two measurement methods was 41.8%. There were significant differences among the measurement results at 8, 16, and 24 h by the continuation method. Pairwise comparisons showed there were statistical diffferences between 8 h and 16 h, as well as between 8 h and 24h; however, no statistical significance was found (P < 0.05), between 16 h and 24 h. Conclusion The overall continuous measurement results of the 30 households were higher than those of cumulation method. The comparison between accumulation and continuation measurement results did not show a high level of correlation (r=0.49). The continuation method is significantly affected by environmental factors, and the length of the measurement period can affect the measurement results. The selection of indoor radon measurement methods should consider the purpose, sample size, and environmental conditions.

Objective To investigate the indoor radon concentration and its changing trend in northeastern China. Methods We measured indoor radon levels cumulatively for over three months by solid state nuclear track detection in a total of 261 houses in multi-story or high-rise buildings in Shenyang, Changchun, Harbin, Heihe, and Yichun in northeastern China. The measurement lasted one year in Changchun for seasonal changes. Results The average indoor radon concentration in the five cities was 88 Bq/m3, ranging from 12 to 558 Bq/m3. The indoor radon concentrations were ≤ 100 Bq/m3 in 75.1% of the houses, and ≤ 300 Bq/m3 in 97.7% of the houses. The indoor radon concentration increased with the age of buildings. The indoor radon concentration was highest in winter, and it was higher in summer than in autumn and spring. Conclusion The indoor radon concentration in northeastern China increased compared with the data of 1980s and 1990s. It is highest in the winter heating season, and higher in summer than in spring and autumn. Indoor radon exposure deserves attention.
