ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical effect of anterior chest approach debridement titanium mesh bone graft single screw/nail plate system internal fixation in patients with tuberculosis of thoracic vertebra. Methods The clinical data of 30 patients with tuberculosis of thoracic vertebra were retrospectively analyzed. According to the lesion sites, and the patients were treated by anterior chest approach debridement titanium mesh bone graft single screw/nail plate system internal fixation. The patients were given regular anti-tuberculosis treatment before operation, and began bed exercise with internal fixation after operation as soon as possible. Results The patients were followed up for 3- 24 (12.3 ± 2.0) months. All the incisions were primary healing. The average length of the deformity was 22° after correction. No sinus and tuberculosis spread occurred. Titanium mesh with bone graft was stable. There was no significant shift and collapse, no internal fixation loosening and fracture. Conclusions Anterior chest approach debridement titanium mesh bone graft single screw/nail plate system internal fixation in patients with tuberculosis of thoracic vertebra can completely remove the lesion, significantly lower spinal cord pressure, correct kyphosis better, and reconstruct the spinal stability early. With the regular anti-tuberculosis treatment, the clinical effect can be significantly improved.
ABSTRACT
Objective To update the knowledge on the sensitizing drugs and clinical features of drug eruption. Methods The clinical data on 138 patients hospitalized for drug eruption in the Department of Dermatology, Institute of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, from January 2005 to June 2007, were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Results Totally, 178 episodes of drug eruption were observed in these patients during the tested period. The major sensitizing drugs included antibacterial agents (31.46%), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (28.09%), traditional Chinese medicines (15.73%). Amoxicillin triggered 20 episodes of drug eruption and was the most common causative drug. Oral administration was the predominant sensitizing route of administration (54.17%). Of all the drug eruptions, 33.71% manifested by erythema multiforme, 28.09% by fixed drug eruption, 22.47% by exanthematous drug eruption. Severe types of drug eruption were mainly caused by traditional Chinese medicines and anti-gout drugs. Conclusions Antibacterial agents and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have become the major sensitizing drugs of drug eruption, especially amoxicillin. The frequency of traditional Chinese medicine-induced eruptions are increasing. Furthermore, caution is warranted for the drug eruption caused by oral administration.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To improve the method of Chinese Pharmacopoeia on the extraction of volatile oil from Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz..METHODS:Volatile oil was extracted from Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz.and determined by the extraction method and determination method stated in Chinese Pharmacopoeia and by the new improved method respectively.And the components of volatile oil obtained in these two methods were respectively separated and identified by GC-MS.RESULTS:The extraction rates of volatile oil by the method of Chinese Pharmacopoeia vs.the new method were(1.28? 0.03) %(n=6) vs.(1.39? 0.03) %(n=6).As compared with the new method,seven components were missed by the method of Chinese Pharmacopoeia.CONCLUSION:The new extraction method of volatile oil can increase both the extraction rate of volatile oil and the kinds of the components in volatile oil,and it is obviously better than the method stated in Chinese Pharmacopoeia.
ABSTRACT
11.1 mmol/L were treated by 2 weeks CSII.An intravenous glucose tolerance test(IVGTT) was performed before and after CSII.The levels of fasting plasma glucose(FPG),2 hours postprandial glucose(2hPG),glycosylated hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c),first-phase secretion of insulin,the mean area under the curve(AUC) of insulin,insulin sensitivity index(ISI),insulin resistance index(Homa IR) and insulin secretion index(Homa ?) were compared.Results The excellent control of FPG and 2hPG in 20 out of 21 patients were achieved stably in 2.8?1.6 days and 7.8?1.9 days by CSII.After the treatment,FPG,2h PG and HbA1c were significantly decreased(P
ABSTRACT
The pigmentum was prepared by using alginic glue prepared by the authors as the film - forming material. It was compared with pigmentum of Alg. Na and PVA in antibacterial activity, stability, film -forming and drug -release. The results showed that alginic glue was better than both Alg. Na and PVA. This pigmentum is an effective treatment for exudative dermatosis .
