Objective To compare therapeutic efficacy of anticoagulation alone and combining with intervention for treating severe cerebral venous thrombosis(CVT).Methods Data of 65 severe CVT patients were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into anticoagulation group(n=32)or combined group(n=33)according to therapeutic methods.The modified Rankin scale(mRS)score at admission and discharge,the prognosis of patients,vascular recanalization rate as well as incidence of complications during follow-up period were compared between groups.Results No significant difference of mRS scores at admission was found between groups(P＞0.05),while mRS scores of combined group were lower than of anticoagulation group at discharge(P＜0.05).The rate of good prognosis at discharge(84.85%vs.59.38%),6 months after discharge(87.88%vs.65.63%)and 12 months after discharge(93.94%vs.75.00%)in combined group were all higher than those in anticoagulation group(all P＜0.05).The vascular recanalization rate in combined group was higher than that in anticoagulant group(100%vs.75.00%,P＜0.05).At the end of follow-up,no significant difference of complication incidence was found between groups(15.15%vs.18.75%,P＞0.05).Conclusion For patients with severe CVT,anticoagulation combined with interventional therapy could significantly alleviate clinical symptoms and improve prognosis compared with anticoagulation alone.

Objective To observe the value of stent implantation for treating idiopathic intracranial hypertension(IIH)complicated with venous sinus stenosis(VSS).Methods Data of 54 patients with IIH complicated with VSS who underwent stent implantation were retrospectively analyzed.The papillary edema grade,lumbar puncture-opening pressure(LP-OP)and trans-stenotic pressure gradient of venous sinus(ΔP)before and after stent implantation were compared,and the symptom improvement and treatment-related complications during the follow-up period were recorded.Results Totally 60 stents were successfully implanted in 54 patients.Before stent implantation,the papillary edema grade was 3(3,3),LP-OP was(391.39±92.62)mmH2O and the ΔP was 18.50(15.00,25.00)mmHg,which decreased to 1(0,1),(208.80±62.31)mmH2O and 1.25(0.88,2.55)mmHg after stent implantation,respectively,all with significant differences(all P＜0.001).Clinical symptoms improved after stent implantation in all 54 patients.At the end of follow-up,disappearance of headache,papillary edema,visual disorder,abducent nerve paralysis and tinnitus were noticed in 30(30/37,81.08%),38(38/45,84.44%),41(41/45,91.11%),8(8/10,80.00%)and 9 cases(9/10,90.00%),respectively.Treatment-related complications occurred in 4 cases(4/54,7.41%),all improved after intervention.Conclusion Stent implantation was effective and safe for treating IIH complicated with VSS.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of endovascular embolization for perimedullary arteriovenous fistula(PMAVF).Methods Data of 8 PMAVF patients who underwent endovascular embolization were retrospectively analyzed.Findings of digital subtraction angiography(DSA)immediately and 6 months after treatment were reviewed,and the modified Aminoff-Logue score(mALS)was compared before and 6 months after treatment.Results Among 8 cases of PMAVF,there were 2 cases of type Ⅰ,5 cases of type Ⅱand 1 case of type Ⅲ,among them 3 were treated with Onyx glue while 5 with Glubrane glue.The immediate DSA results after treatment showed complete embolization of the fistula in all 8 cases,while those 6 months after treatment showed no recurrence.One case recovered and the other 7 cases improved,and mALS(2.25±2.12)6 months after treatment was lower than that(5.50±2.39)before treatment(P＜0.05).Conclusion Endovascular embolization could safely and effectively treat PMAVF.

OBJECTIVE To develop a whole-process intelligent model of pharmaceutical care for peritoneal dialysis （PD） patients， and to provide a reference for clinical pharmacists to provide standardized PD pharmaceutical care. METHODS The pharmaceutical care mode of PD patients at home and abroad was investigated and analyzed. Based on the actual situation of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University （hereinafter referred to as “our hospital”）， with “home→PD center outpatient→ inpatient department” as the main node， the recycling process of medication reconciliation was optimized. The whole-process intelligent pharmaceutical care model of PD was illustrated by improving the Chinese version of the drug-related problems （DRPs） classification tool， developing the corresponding pharmaceutical care process， and presenting specific cases. RESULTS Based on the medication therapy management （MTM） platform， our hospital had built a closed-loop PD whole-process intelligent pharmaceutical care model of “in-hospital pharmaceutical care （building document）-PD outpatient MTM-home pharmaceutical care （online App management）”. A “double cycle” workflow of “admission→discharge→outpatient” medication reconciliation cycle and “discovery-analysis-intervention-follow-up-record-evaluation” DRPs cycle was formed. CONCLUSIONS The establishment of the whole-process intelligent pharmaceutical care model for PD in our hospital provides experience for standardizing pharmaceutical care for PD patients， and can reduce DRPs.

OBJECTIVE：To study the prot ective effects of crocin （CR）against triptolide （TP）-induced visceral organ injury in mice，and to provide reference for the studying TP compatibility and detoxification. METHODS ：Fifty mice were randomly divided into normal group ，TP low-dose and high-dose groups （i.e. TP-L group ，TP-H group ，with 300，600 μg/kg），TP low-dose and high dose combined with CR groups （i.e. TP-L+CR group ，TP-H+CR group ，with 300 μg/kg TP+100 mg/kg CR ，600 μg/kg TP+ 100 mg/kg CR ），with 10 mice in each group. Except for normal group ，other groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically ， once a day ，for consecutive 7 d. The body weight of mice was weighted every day ，and their death was recorded. After last administration，the mice were sacrificed ，and the heart ，liver，kidney and testis were taken ，and the organ index was calculated ； serum levels of ALT ，AST，BUN and Scr ，the activity of T-SOD and the contents of MDA were all determined. The pathological changes of heart ，liver，kidney and testis were observed ；mRNA expression of Bcl- 2，Bax and caspase- 3 in liver tissue were determined. RESULTS ：Three，five，two and three mice in TP-L group ，TP-H group ，TP-L+CR group and TP-H+CR group died respectively，and the survival rates were 70％，50％，80％ and 70％，respectively. Compared with normal group ，the body weight （7th day of experiment ），heart index ，liver index ，kidney index （except for TP-L group ），testicular index ，T-SOD activity and mRNA expression of Bcl- 2 in liver tissue ，serum levels of ALT （except for TP-L group ），AST（except for TP-L group ），BUN and Scr，MDA content and mRNA expression of Bax ，mRNA expression of caspase- 3 in liver tissue were increased significantly （P＜ 0.05 or P＜0.01）. There were obvious pathological changes in heart ，liver，kidney and testis tissue. Compared with the same dose of TP alone group ，the above indexes of TP combined with CR group were improved in varying degrees. Except for the renal index and serum ALT level of TP-L+CR group ，there was statistical significance for all indexes （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）；the pathological injuries of heart ，liver，kidney and testis were significantly improved. CONCLUSIONS ：CR can relieve the damage of heart ， liver，kidney and testis induced by TP ，which may be related to the antioxidant stress of CR.

Objective: To analyze the infection composition and drug resistance to Gram-negative (G^-) bacilli in children′s respiratory tract in Suzhou, in order to provide evidence for rational use of antibiotics clinically. Methods: G^- bacilli culture samples were collected from 21 561 cases of nasopharyngeal secretions from patients with respiratory tract infection admitted at the Department of Respiratory, Children′s Hospital of Soochow University from January 2007 to December 2016, including 21 246 cases in general wards, and 315 patients who were transferred to the respiratory department after treatment in the Intensive Care Unit(ICU), and the children were divided into the general ward group and the ICU group, and the pathogens were compared and the changes in bacterial susceptibility were dynamically observed between the 2 groups. Results: The primary G^-bacteria for respiratory infection was Haemophilus influenzae, followed by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii.The detection rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the ICU group were 16.8% (21/125 strains)and 14.4%(18/125 strains), respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the general ward group [10.0%(208/2 071 strains), 9.2%(190/2 071 strains)]. The detection rates of G^-bacteria in the ICU group were 33.7%(106/315 cases), which were significantly higher than those in the general ward group [9.4%(1 997/21 246 cases)], and the difference was statistically significant(χ²=210.325, P<0.001). The rare G^-bacillus such as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Acinetobacter junii and Burkholderia onion were higher in the ICU group [17.6%(22/125 strains)] than that in the general ward group [6.4% (132/2 071 strains)]. The rate that of G^-bacteria with two or more mixed infection in ICU group [17.0% (18/106 cases)] was significantly higher than in the general ward group [3.4%(68/1 997 cases)], and the difference was statistically significant(χ²=47.3, P<0.05). For the mixed infection, the ICU group was mainly composed of Klebsiella pneumoniae mixed with Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Escherichia coli, while the general ward group was composed of Haemophilus influenzae mixed with Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Escherichia coli.The sensitivity of Haemophilus influenzae to Ampicillin, Sultamicillin, Cefuroxime, Cefaclor and Azithromycin decreased, and the sensitivity to Chloramphenicol, Tetracycline and Trimethoprim+ Sulfamethoxazole increased year by year, and there were statistically significant differences in different years (all P<0.05). The sensiti-vity to Escherichia coli to Ceftazidime decreased year by year, and the sensitivity to Ampicillin and Levofloxacin increased year by year, and there were statistically significant differences in different years (all P<0.05). The sensitivity to Klebsiella pneumoniae to Cefoperazone/Sulbactam and imipenem decreased, and the sensitivity to Ciprofloxacin and Levofloxacin increased, and there were statistically significant differences in different years (all P<0.05). The sensitivity to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Cefoperazone/Sulbactam and Ceftriaxone decreased year by year, and the sensitivity to Levofloxacin increased, and there were statistically significant differences in different years (all P<0.05). The detection rate of carbapenem-resistant strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed an increasing trend, and there were statistically significant differences in different years (all P<0.05). Conclusions The primary G^-bacteria for respiratory infections is Haemophilus influenzae, G^-bacilli especially, the mixed infection of G^-bacilli, is more likely to cause severe and critical respiratory infections.The resistance rate of G^-bacteria infection in children′s respiratory tract to commonly used antibiotics is generally on the rise.

A novel method was proposed for the quantification of nitrite ion in aqueous samples by the combination of an advanced quantitative fluorescence model with ratiometric fluorescence indicator 2 , 3-diaminonaphthalene . The proposed method was tentatively applied to direct quantitative determination of nitrite ion in turbid environmental water samples containing both scatterers and absorbers; and its performance was thoroughly investigated and evaluated. Experimental results showed that the proposed method could realize accurate quantitative determination of nitrite ion in environmental water samples with recovery rates in the range of 90. 8%-103. 0%, which were comparable to the corresponding values of HPLC-DAD experiments. The limit of detection and limit of quantification of the proposed method were estimated to be 1 . 9 and 5. 8 nmo/L, respectively.
