OBJECTIVE:To compare the efficacy of cefazolin and cefuroxime prevention of perioperative cesarean section wound infection. METHODS:291 cases of elective cesarean section surgery,according to the use of medicines are divided into group A(n=140)and group B(n=151),were retrospectively analyzed. Patients in group A,preoperative 30 min intravenous infusion of cefazolin 2.0 g;after surgery,2.0 g ivgtt,q12 h,continue to use 2～5 days. Patients in group B,preoperative 30 min intravenous infusion of cefuroxime 2.0 g;after surgery,2.0 g ivgtt,q12 h,continue to use 2～5 days. Comparison of the clinical effect of 2 groups patients. RESULTS:WBC,N%,Hb,complications,body temperature,wound healing had no statistical difference in postoperative between 2 groups. All patients were not the emergence of drug adverse reactions. CONCLUSION:cefazolin and cefuroxime has the same efficacy of prevention of cesarean section wound infection.

Glioma is the most common form of brain cancer. Despite recent advances in the treatment of solid tumors, there are few effective treatments for malignant gliomas due to its infiltrative nature. It has important significance to improve the treatment of glioma through in-depth understanding the intracerebral metabolic characteristics and pharmacokinetics of chemotherapeutics. Brain microdialysis (B-MD), an effective method to monitor central nervous system anticancer drug disposition, conditions of drugs through the blood-brain barrier, basic pathophysiologic metabolism, bioactive compounds and the changes of neurotransmitter in brain, provides the unique opportunity to allow the simultaneous determination of unbound concentrations of drugs in several tissues, and directly measure gliomas biochemistry continuously. B-MD has been able to monitor the change of brain drugs, metabolites and neurotransmitters, dynamic analysis of the drug concentration and pharmacological effect after administration, pharmacodynamic interaction between drugs, receptor mechanism of drug transport, as well as feedback information of internal environment. B-MD is expected to provide reference for clinical individual chemotherapy of glioma, but also provide powerful tools for the evaluation of new anticancer drugs in vivo. In this review, a comprehensive overview of B-MD for studies on glioma is elucidated with special emphasis on its application to neurochemistry and pharmacokinetic studies.

Objective To prepare Exosomes secreted by mouse hepatoma cell (H_(22)) and heat stressed Exosomes (HS-Exo) derived from heat stress-treated mouse hepatoma cell (H_(22)), in order to study the possible anti-tumor immune mechanism. Methods Exosomes and HS-Exo were purified by serial ultracentrifugation and sucrose density gradiant centrifugation, and were observed and identified by electron microscope. The components and production of the protein and the effects of the host immune response against hepatocellular carcinoma of HS-Exo were observed by using Exosomes as the control. Their immunological factors were detected by Western blot. Lymphocyte proliferation and specific cytotoxic activity of mouse splenic cells were determined by MTT. CD4~+ and CD8~+ lymphocytes infiltration in mouse tumor tissues immunized by both were analysed by immunohistochemical staining. Results HS-Exo was similar in morphology to the Exosomes, the important immune-ralated protein expressed in HS-Exo was increased (P<0.05). HS-Exo immunized mouse group showed more effective inhibition of tumor growth, better-induced lymphocyte proliferation,more significantly enhanced the cytotoxic activity of spleen lymphocytes, as well as a more prominent role in tumor therapy than Exosomes immunized mouse control group (P<0.05). Conclusions Heat stress treatment method for the preparation of HS-Exo was feasible. HS-Exo had a stronger role in the immuneactivity and tumor treatment than control Exosomes.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of Liuwei Dihuang Soft Capsule(LDSC) and Ginkgo Leaf Tablet (GLT) on serum regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) in the patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2).

METHODSForty patients with early stage DM2 were randomly assigned to two groups, 20 in each group. Based on the conventional treatment with hypoglycemic agents, patients in the treated group were treated with LDSC plus GLT additionally, and those in the placebo group with placebo for 6 months, respectively. The levels of serum RANTES, blood glucose, blood lipids and glycosylated hemoglobin, as well as micro-content of albumin in urine were measured before and after treatment.

RESULTSIn the treated group, the serum level of RANTES decreased significantly after treatment, and it was significantly lower as compared with that in the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSLDSC and GLT can decrease serum RANTES level in patients with DM2. They play a preventive and therapeutic role on diabetic complications by their anti-inflammatory effect.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of large dose mucosolvan combined variant flow rate continuous positive airway by nasal mask on neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(NRDS).Methods One hundred and fourteen newborns with NRDS were randomly divided into treatment group(58 cases) and control group(56 cases),on the base of same combined therapy,the cases in control group only underwent oxygen-absorbing by head set with the flow rate 4-6 L/min,and the cases in treatment group were given large dose mucosolvan(Ambroxol Hydrochloride) 30 mg/(kg?d) + 5%GS 20 mL,for two times and variant flow rate continuous positive airway by nasal mask(NCPAP),the parameter setting flow rate 6-8 L/min,FiO_2 0.4-0.6,pressure 5-8 cm H_2O.The clinical symptom and blood gas analysis after 12 and 48 hours were observed and compared the changes of pa(O_2),pa(CO_2),pa(O_2)/FiO_2 in two groups.Results The dyspnea and groan in 44 cases in the treatment group lessoned or vanished,pa(O_2) rised and pa(CO_2) lowered,the oxygenation index obviously increased,the cases with RDS grade Ⅰand gradeⅡ had better therapeutic effect,and the cases with RDS grade Ⅲ(X-ray)and Ⅳ had not manifest effect,the total effective rate was 75.8% in treatment group and 26.7% in control group.There were significant difference in therapeutic effect and oxygenation index between two groups.Conclusions Large dose mucosolvan(combi)-ning variant flow rate continuous positive airway by nasal mask can significantly improve the ventilation and oxygenation function and there are significant therapeutic effect in NRDS,especially in the NRDS grade Ⅰand gradeⅡ,the trachea cannula may be avoided and mechanical ventilation rate may be decreased if the therapeutic method can be used in earlier period.
