OBJECTIVE:To explore the method of pharmaceutical care which influence the effect of the treatment for diabetes mellitus at home. METHODS:163 patients with diabetes mellitus in community who received treatment at home were selected, and then randomly divided into control group (58 cases),family visit group (51 cases) and group education group (54 cases);control group were given pharmaceutical intervention with traditional dispensing window;family visit group received door-to-door service or telephone follow-up service;group education group were given collective education and interactive way. The latter two groups were all given regular drug education,and the advisory desk was set up and provided consulting services about medication knowledge. RESULTS:After providing pharmaceutical care,the regular medication rate of 3 groups were 43.1%,64.8% and 78.4%;medication adherence were 51.7%,70.4% and 82.4%;the rates of blood glucose at target level were 29.3%,48.1% and 54.9%;the rates of glycosylated hemoglobin at target level were 13.7%,31.5% and 31.4%,ADR occurance rates were 31.0%, 13.0%,5.9%. These index of family visit group and group education group were all better than those of control group significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Humane pharmaceutical care can improve the quality and effect of the treatment for diabetes mellitus.

Objective:To assess the clinical and microbiologic effects of ultrasonic scaling with simultanous irrigation with chlorhexidine(CHX), conventional ultrasonic scaling or subgingival irrigation. Methods: 20 teeth in 7 patients with periodontitis were equally divided into test and control group. Patients in the test group were treated by irrigation with CHX during ultrasonic scaling(Master400),those in the control with irrigating after scaling(MiNi ). Clinical assessments of bleeding on probing (BOP),probing depth (PD) were made just before and 7 and 14 days after treatment. The subgingival microbiologic examination was performed before and 0,7 and 14 days after treatment. Result: Significant reductions in PD and BOP were observed in both groups 7 and 14 days after treatment(P

This study was designed to investigate whether there is an antagonistic effect of MsC—derived IL—1 and PGE2 on MsC proliferation. Experimental results showed that: (1)MsC stimulated by LPS could produce IL—1; (2) MsC stimulated by MsC—derived IL—1 could release PGE2; (3) exogenous PGE2(100ug/ml) inhibited the MsC proliferation induced by MsC—derived IL—1; (4) indomethacin(2ug/ml) which inhibited the production of endogenous PGE2, enhanced the MsC proliferation induced by MsC—derived IL—1. The results suggest that there is a self—regulation effect on MsC proliferation by MsC—derived IL—1 and PGE2. Clinically, the beneficial effect of PGE2 should be protected, so that the abuse of indomethacin in the treatment of glomerulonephritis should be avoided.

Objectives To investigate risk factors for postoperative intracranial infection after nasal endoscopic re-pair of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea, in order to provide a reference for later treatment. Methods Selected 80 cases treated by nasal endoscopic repair of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea from January 2010 to 2015 as study object, ret-rospective analyzed the clinical data such as the patient's age, gender, etiology, leak size, the leak location, prior in-tracranial infection, prophylactic antibiotics and postoperative application of antibacterial drug > 7 d, the number of operations, whether or not the operation using artificial materials, repair materials, repair of cerebrospinal fluid rhin-orrhea failure and by nasal endoscopic repair of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea occurred between intracranial infec-tion. Results 4 of them (5.00 %) occurred intracranial infection. CSF bacterial culture show 8 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated, including 3 cases of leather of gram negative bacteria and 5 strains of leather of gram positive bacteria and gram positive bacteria were mainly Staphylococcus aureus and accounted for 40.00 %. Univariate anal-ysis showed that repair of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea failure, improper surgical procedures, previous intracranial infection history, the choice of restorative materials and the size of the leak diameter > 1 cm and after endoscopic repair of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea postoperative intracranial infection have some relevance ( < 0.05). Logistic multivariate analysis showed that repair of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea failure, improper surgical procedures, previ-ous intracranial infection history, the choice of restorative materials and the size of the leak diameter > 1 cm of intranasal endoscopic repair of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea independent risk factor for postoperative intracranial infection ( < 0.05). Conclusions Skull size of the leak diameter > 1 cm, previous history of intracranial infection, cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea repair a variety of factors fail, surgery failure factors are likely to increase patient after endoscopic repair of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea intracranial infection the incidence.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to evaluate the effect of ptxA and ptxB genes, which are important genes in the L-ascorbate phosphotransferase system (PTS) of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans).

METHODSThe ptxA-, ptxB-, and ptxAB-double deficient mutant as well as ptxAB-complemented strain were constructed. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis was performed to evaluate the expression of the target genes of wild-type S. mutans when L-ascorbate was used as the sole carbohydrate source. The OD₆₀₀ values of the wild type, deficient, and complemented strains were continuously monitored, and their growth curves were constructed to compare growth capacity.

RESULTSPolymerase chain reaction and sequencing analyses suggested that deficient and complemented strains were successfully constructed. The expression levelsof ptxA and ptxB significantly increased (P < 0.01) when L-ascorbate was used as the sole carbohydrate source. The growth capacity of the deficient mutants decreased compared with that of the wild-type strain. However, the wild-type phenotype could be restored in the complemented strain.

CONCLUSIONptxA and ptxB genes are associated with L-ascorbate metabolism of S. mutans. The construction of deficient strains and complemented strain lay a foundation for further mechanism study on L-ascorbate metabolism in S. mutans.
