ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of urinary kallidinogenase for recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) intravenous thrombolytic treatment in patients with acute cerebral infartion MethodsA randomized control study was applied. All 44 patients with acute cerebral infartion were randomized 1:1 to the experimental group (22 cases) and the control group (22 cases). Patients were administrated rt-PA(0. 9 mg/kg)in control group, and patients were given urinary kallidinogenase by intravenous drip (0.15 PNAU/d, for 7 days) after rt-PA intravenous thrombolytic treatment (0.9 mg/kg)in experimental group. The main evaluation index was the incidence of symptomatic intraeerebral hemorrhage within 24 hours, and the secondary assessing items were NIHSS and BI. ResultsThere was 1 case (4.6%) with symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage in the experimental group and 2 (9.1%) in the control group (X2 =0.00, P= 1.000),and reinfarction rate showed a decreasing tendency in experimental group (18.2% vs. 31.8%, X2=1.091,P=0.296). Compared with the control group, the NIHSS scores were significantly lower 1,21,90 days after thrombolytic therapy (t=2.119, 2.913, 2.187);P=0.041, 0.0 06, 0.042),and the BI scores were obviously higher at 90 days after thrombolytic therapy in experimental group(t= 2.39,P= 0.012). ConclusionsWithout increasing the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage, urinary kallidinogenase may improve the curative effect for rt-PA intravenous thrombolytic treatment in patients with acute cerebral infartion

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effects of clinical pharmacists'intervention on prophylactic use of antibiotics in re-moval of internal fixation device for fracture. METHODS:Totally 117 patients underwent removal of internal fixation device for fracture were selected from some on third grade class A hospital during Mar.-Jul. 2015 as pre-intervention group. Totally of 266 pa-tients underwent removal of internal fixation device for fracture were selected during Aug. 2015-May 2016 as post-intervention group. Clinical pharmacists performed interventions based on Rationality Evaluation Criteria for Prophylactic Use of Antibiotics in Removal of Internal Fixation Device for Fracture. The prophylactic use of antibiotics was compared between 2 groups before and af-ter intervention. RESULTS:No unreasonable single dose or additional drug during surgery was found before and after intervention. After intervention,utilization rate of antibiotics for prophylactic use,the proportion of patients receiving antibiotics without indica-tions,the proportion of medication duration more than 24 h decreased from 84.6%,71.8%,48.7% to 17.3%,9.8%,4.9%,re-spectively. Average antibiotics cost,the proportion of total drug cost in hospitalization cost,the proportion of antibiotics cost in to-tal drug cost were all decreased significantly compared to before intervention,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the proportion of patients with unreasonable drug choice,unreasonable initial prophylactic medication tim-ing and unreasonable drug combination,the proportion of different antibiotics types,average hospitalization cost and average drug cost(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Clinical pharmacists'interventions significantly reduce the utilization rate of antibiotics for pro-phylactic use in patients underwent removal of internal fixation device for fracture,improve drug use without indications and ratio-nality of prophylactic use of antibiotics. There still are problems,such as unreasonable medication timing,continuous use time of more than 24 h,etc. It is necessary to continuous follow-up intervention.

Objective To investigate the character and location of a novel gene R049 and its expressed protein in uropathogenic Escherichia coli(UPEC) strain 132 isolated in China. MethodsThe chromosome library of UPEC132 was constructed by a shotgun strategy and the sequence analysis was carried out by a high-throughput pyrophosphate sequencing. Sequence reads were assembled with the Newbler program.The characters of R049-associated specific fragment were analyzed using the bioinformatics methods. Outer and inner membrane proteins of UPEC132 were extracted and then detected by SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis together with the whole-cell lysates. ResultsThe 169 022 bp contig containing gene R049 was obtained and its sequence was very similar to the chromosome associated sequence of UPEC strain 536. It showed that a 20 773 bp fragment including R049 replaced the pathogenicity island PAI Ⅲ536 of UPEC536 in above 169 022 bp contig. The fragment had a lower GC content (46.97%) and 16 bp direct repeats in two ends. Significantly it also was adjacented to thrW tRNA, insertion element and genes coding integrase. Thus the 20 773 bp fragment was named R049 genome island(R049-GI). There were 25 ORFs in R049-GI, and gene R049 was located in the thirteenth ORF. The results of SDS-PAGE and Western blot revealed gene R049 encoded an outer membrane protein in the size of 47.0× 103. ConclusionGene R049, encoding an outer membrane protein, was a component part of the genome island in UPEC 132 chromosome acquired by horizontal gene transfer.

Objective To evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of deep anorectal abscess. Methods Twenty-one patients who were suspected of having deep anorectal abscess were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from January 2006 to December 2007, and their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Phased-array coil MRI was applied to all patients before the operation. We compared the efficacy of MRI and rectal digital examination in the classification of deep anorectal abscess and the diagnosis rate of internal opening according to the postoperative results. All data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results Nineteen patients were diagnosed with deep anorectal abscess, one patient had presacral cyst combined with infection and one patient had perianal mucinous adenocarcinoma. A total of 25 lesions were identified, including 14 ischiorectal abscesses, five pelvirectal abscesses, and six high intersphincteric abscesses. Thirteen patients had single space abscesses and six had multiple space abscesses. There were no significant differences in the diagnosis rate between MRI (12/19) and rectal digital examination for internal opening (13/19) (χ2 =0. 116, P>0.05). The accuracy rate was significantly different between MRI (25/25) and rectal digital examination (16/25) in the classification of deep anorectal abscess (χ2 = 10.970, P <0.05). Operative exploration revealed that there were 13 patients with single space abscesses and six with multiple space abscesses. The accuracy rate was significantly different between MRI (19/19) and the rectal digital examination (13/19) for detecting multiple space abscesses (χ2 =7. 125, P <0. 05). Conclusions MRI with a phased-array coil can accurately detect the extent of deep anorectal abscess and its relationship with anorectal sphincters. MRI examination is helpful in excluding potential lesions in the anorectal region.

Objective To discuss protein marks expressed differentially in placenta of Down's syndrome by means of proteomics. Methods We collected placenta of 18 patients(from March 2009 to December 2009 at Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital), and divided them into two groups, one was 10 patients with fetal Down's syndrome, the other was normal pregnancies (normal chromosome) with other diseases. We separated proteins expressed in placentas of two groups by two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE), and then analyzed the differential protein spots by software Decyder 6. 5, then,spots differentially expressed by 1.5 fold or more were analyzed by matrix assisted laser desorption ionizationtime of flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). In the end, the differential expressional levels of partially identified proteins were validated by western blot analysis. Results (1) Differential proteins of two groups protein spots of placentas separated by 2D-DIGE were analyzed by software Decyder 6. 5 (these colored lights scattered in the image were protein spots), a total of 56 spots out of 352 were differentially expressed (P<0. 05) in two groups. We analyzed 17 protein spots(12 protein spots were over-expressed and 5 protein spots were down-expressed) differentially expressed by 1.5 fold or more by MALDI-TOF-MS.(2) Protein matching after searching protein database, 17 protein spots turn out to be 10 proteins. Four kinds [superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6), heat shock protein 27 (HSP27),endoplasmic reticulum protein 29 (ERP29)] of them were validated by western blot analysis, the group of fetal Down's syndrome were 0.74 ±0. 12,0.29 ±0. 10,0.53 ±0. 16,0.20 ±0. 09,the group of normal pregnancies were 0. 51 ±0. 08,0. 34 ± 0. 16,0. 18 ± 0. 07,0. 35 ± 0. 09, the results confirmed the observed changes in proteomics. Conclusions Compared with normal pregnancies, there were differential proteins expressed in placenta of Down's syndrome. This approach might provide new screening markers in use for prediction of Down's syndrome, however, further study should be done to make these 4 proteins (SOD1,HSP27, ERP29, PRDX6) be new screening markers.
