Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2021;28(3):366-369
Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of linezolid combined with levofloxacin in the intensive treatment of tuberculous meningitis.Methods:Seventy-six patients with tuberculous meningitis who underwent intensive treatment from May 2015 to April 2018 in the Fourth People's Hospital of Taiyuan were included in this study. They were assigned to a control group ( n = 38) and an observation group ( n = 38) according to treatment methods. The control group was given conventional treatment (isoniazid + rifampicin + pyrazinamide + ethambutol). The observation group was given treatment with linezolid combined with levofloxacin based on conventional treatment. All patients were treated for 8 successive weeks. Clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups. Results:Total effective rate and the incidence of complications were 92.11% (35/38) and 5.26% (2/38) respectively in the observation group, and they were 68.42% (26/38) and 23.68% (9/38) respectively in the control group. There were significant differences in total effective rate and the incidence of complications between the two groups ( χ2 = 6.727 and 5.028, both P < 0.05). After treatment, white blood cell count, blood glucose level, and protein level were (30.21 ± 4.16) × 10 6/L, (3.65 ± 0.32) mmol/L and (0.79 ± 0.05) g/L, respectively in the observation group, while they were (54.28 ± 6.42) × 10 6/L, (2.18 ± 0.21) mmol/L, (0.98 ± 0.21) g/L, respectively in the control group. There were significant differences in white blood cell count, blood glucose level and protein level between the two groups ( t = 19.396, 23.675, 4.538, all P < 0.05). There was significant difference in the score of quality of life between the control and observation groups [(187.59 ± 4.11) points vs. (216.94 ± 3.90) points, t = 31.933, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Linezolid combined with levofloxacin based on conventional treatment exhibits better clinical efficacy with high safety in the intensive treatment of tuberculous meningitis than conventional treatment.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of psychological intervention and rehabilitation training on self-care ability and quality of life in patients with cerebral hemorrhage during postoperative recovery stage. Methods180 patients with cerebral hemorrhage in our hospital from October 2008 to December 2010 were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 90 cases in each group.The control group was given with routine care and rehabilitation measures.The observation group adopted psychological intervention and rehabilitation training based on the routine care.After treatment,the functional independence measure (FIM)and the quality of life index (QLI)were used for the evaluation of the level of quality of life and self-care ability. ResultsIn the quality of life index,the QLI score after treatment in the observation group improved significantly compared with that before treat ment.The QLI score in the control group before and after treatment showed no statistical difference.In the self-care ability,FIM score after treatment in both of the two groups improved significantly than that before.And FIM score after treatment in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group. ConclusionsApplication of psychological intervention and rebabilitation training in patients with cerebral hemorrhage during postoperative recovery stage shows pivotal importance.It can improve self-care ability and quality of life of patients and promote recovery effectively.

In order to observe the damaged nerve successively, we used superficial magnetic stimulation motor evoked potential (MEP) in the pathological model of chronic compressed nerve of the cervical nerve roots of cats. We synthesized various change of the pathomorphology of the nerve damaged to different degrees, and discussed the relationship between the MEP and the pathomorphologic change of chronic compressed nerve roots. The results showed that the initial pathologic change of nerve with myelin was degeneration of myelin shealth. The MEP of the nerve also showed increased latency and dispersed wave forms. After that the axon of the demylinated nerve degenerated, splitted and had a peripheral Wallerian Degeneration. The MEP showed an increased latency along with decreased amplitude. The degree of the MEP's change accompanyed with pathologic change. So we believe that the magnetic compressed nerve. It has some reference value in figuring out the damage by analysing factors.

Objective To identify the candidate genes in the vicinity of a susceptibility locus (urinary albumin 1,UA-1) contributing to the development of albuminuria in type 2 diabetic KK/Ta mice. Methods Total RNA was extracted from the kidneys of KK/Ta (n=3) and BALB/c (n=2) mice at 20 weeks of age.The gene expression profile in kidney was investigated using the Affymetrix Murine Genome U74Av2 array.Competitive RT-PCR was used to confirm the differential expression of syndecan-4 which located in the vicinity of UA-1.Genome DNA was extracted from KK/Ta and BALB/c mice.DNA sequence analysis of the coding and promotor region of syndecan-4 gene was conducted. Results In the vicinity of the susceptibility locus (UA-1)contributing to the development of albuminuria in type 2 diabetic KK/Ta mice,10 candidate genes that showed differential expression were identified.Among them,the gene expression of syndecan-4in KK/Ta kidneys at 20 weeks of age was up-regulated by 26.1 times of age-matched BALB/c kidneys.Sequence analysis revealed two synonymous polymorphisms in the coding region (A93C and T216C) and three polymorphisms in the promoter region (-T263C,-T396C and -G669A) of the syndecan-4 gene.The TATA box was found at 321 bp upstream from the transcription start site,and the T263C polymorphism was located in the binding site of transcription factor Clox.Conclusions Syndecan-4 gene is mapped in the vicinity of the susceptibility locus contributing to the development of albuminuria in type 2 diabetes.The gene expression of syndecan-4 in KK/Ta kidneys is up-regulated than that in age-matched BALB/c kidneys at 20 weeks of age.Thus syndecan-4 may be one of the potential candidate genes responsible for diabetic nephropathy.Sequence differences in the promoter region influence the expression levels of syndecan-4 genes in KK/Ta kidneys.
