OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of current, voltage and pH of donor chamber solution on the iontophoretic transport of ciprofloxacin. METHODS: An in vitro study was carried out to determine the iontophoretic permeability of ciprofloxacin through pig skin. Iontophoretic flux of ciprofloxacin through excised pig skin was determined using Valia-Chien two chamber diffusion cells. The permeability enhancement ratios in donor chamber solution of different pH under different currents and voltages were also measured. RESULTS: Iontophoretic flux of ciprofloxacin increased with increasing current and voltage. The effect of ciprofloxacin solution pH in the donor chamber on the iontophoretic transport was observed. When the pH of ciprofloxacin solution was 3.5, there was good iontophoretic permeability. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that electrical factor and pH of the donor chamber solution may be important factors for the iontophoretic permeability of ciprofloxacin.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of somatostatin (SS)combined with growth hormone (GH) in treatment of intestinal mucosal barrier injury in rabbits with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), as well as its clinical significance. Methods Seventy-two rabbits were equally assigned into model group (SAP group), SS treated group (SS group) and SS combined with GH treated group (SS + GH group). SAP models were induced by retro-injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic duct. After modeling, all rabbits were given 5 % glucose saline daily.The rabbits in SS group and SS+GH group were continuously Given SS (3.5μg·kg-1·h-1)for 48 hours. Besides, the rabbits in SS+GH group were subcutaneously injected with 0.15 IU/kg of GH at the 1st and the 24th hours after modeling. The levels of serum amylase, serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and plasma diamine oxidase were measured at the 6th, 12th, 24th and 48th hours after modeling. The pathological changes of pancreatic tissue and ileal mucosa were observed. Survival rate was calculated. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16.0 software. The univariate analysis was used to compare the difference among groups. Results In SS+GH group, the levels of serum TNF-α and plasma diamine oxidase were (2. 43 ± 0. 14) pg/ml and (4. 61 ± 0. 45) U/L at the 24th hour respectively, and were (2.08±0.23) pg/ml and (3.75±0.47) U/L at the 48th hour, respectively,which were lower than those in SAP group and SS group [(2.80 0.30) pg/ml and (8.74 ± 1.77)U/L, respectively, at the 24th hour; (2. 45±0.12) pg/ml and (5. 02±0.95) U/L, respectively, at the 48th hour)]with significant difference (P＜0.05). The inflammation in pancreas and ileal mucosa was alleviated, and the integrity of bowel mucosa was improved. Survival rate of SS+GH group was significantly higher than SAP group and SS group. There was no significant difference in level of serum amylase between SS+GH group and SS group. Conclusion The combination of SS with GH may enhance the function of intestinal mucosa barrier and improve the prognosis of SAP in rabbits.

Objective:To probe the role of CT in guided thalamotomy and posteroventral pallidotomy for Parknson's disease.Methods:With the help of microelectrode guided technique,ipsilateral thalamotomy and pallidotomy were used for 150 Parkinsonian disease.To fix position with CT in operation,the three dimension for target was measured.Results:80 percent of targets orientated by CT tallyed with that recorded by microelectrode electrophysiology.The error of the rest 20% was less than 2 mm on the average.Conclusions:By CT the targets can be accurately located in 3 dimension during operation.The cost of this kind of orientation is 50 percent less than that of SPCT or MRI

Objective: To review the clinical effect of early enteral nutrition in patients with carcinoma of esophagus after operation.Methods: Nutrient canal was indwelt through Fresubin(TP) was given through the nasal-intestinal tube in 120 cases with carcinoma of esophagus after operation.Results: The complications such as anastomotic leakage,lung infection and incisional infection in the patients receiving early enteral nutrition were much less than those in control group.No death occurred.The time for bowel function recovery was much shorter.Conclusion: Early enteral nutrition can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function,improve the nutrition,decrease the occurrence of complications and raise the successful rate of operation in operative patients with esophagus carcinoma.

ObjectiveTo observe the dynamics of antibodies and protection against Schistosoma japonicum infections in buffaloes after immunized with recombinant 26 kDa glutathione S transferase (reSjc26GST). Methods Buffaloes in 2 villages endemic for schistosomiasis japonica were selected as test and control groups, respectively.In test group initially 96 buffaloes were vaccinated with reSjc26GST, and 90 buffaloes in the control group did not experience vaccination. The indicators included levels of antibodies to reSjc26GST in buffaloes before and after infection with S japonicum and changes in infection rate. Results Specific antibodies, which showed a trend of trapezoid increase, were induced in buffaloes after immunized with reSjc26GST. Twenty months after immunization, the infection rate of the test group was decreased by 62 2% when compared with that before vaccination,and by 67 7% when compared with that of the control in the corresponding period.Conclusion Specific antibodies and a certain extent of protection were induced in buffaloes after immunized with reSjc26GST, which played an significant role in ameliorating morbidity.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the immune-protective effect of Japan Schistosoma (Chinese mainland strain) 23 kD membrane protein-heat shock protein (SjC23-Hsp70) DNA vaccine plus adjuvantinduced interleukin-12 (IL-12) plasmid DNA on Schistosoma japonicum infection in water buffalos. METHODS: Forty-five health water buffalos (8-10 months old) in non-endemic area of schistosomiasis were randomly assigned into group A (SjC23-Hsp70+IL-12, 300 μg), group B (SjC23+IL-12, 300 μg) and group C (pVAX+IL-12, 300 μg), 15 in each group. Each buffalo was immuned by shoulder intramuscular injection for 3 times, at an interval of 28 days. Twenty-eight days after the last immunization, each buffalo was infected with 1000 Japan cercariae of Schistosoma. Fecal examinations were conducted 2 days and 1 day before the perfusion, and on the day of perfusion. The number of hatching miracidia and eggs per gram feces was recorded. Fifty-six days after the infection, the buffalos were sacrificed and perfused via the descending aorta. The recovered adult worms and eggs in the liver tissue were counted. RESULTS: We compared group A and B with group C: the estrogen reduction rate was 45.7% and 26.61%; bug reduction rate was 44.51% and 25.84%; the fecal egg reduction rate was 41.1% and 31.63%; the miracidium reduction rate was 48.11% and 38.07%; and the liver egg reduction rate was 43.39% and 31.95%. The above rates in group A were higher than those in group B (P<0.05). CONCLUSION SjC23-Hsp70 DNA vaccine combined with IL-12 may have a significant immunoprotective effect on buffalos.
