ABSTRACT
The objective of the research was to detect the enhancement effect of sodium taurocholate on the absorption of cefquinome both in Caco-2 cells and rats. The absorption efficiency of cefquinome was determined by high performance liquid chromatography and calculated with apparent permeability coefficients [Papp] after Caco-2 cell monolayers treated odium taurocholate [2 mmol/L] and cefquinome. The results showed that the absorption of cefquinome in Caco-2 cell monolayers was significantly increased with the sodium taurocholate [2mmol/L]. Similar results were also detected in the rats orally administrated with 1 mL PBS of cefquinome [20mg/mL] containing different concentration of sodium taurocholate [5 mmol/L, 10mmol/L and 20mmol/L] respectively. Compared with control group, sodium taurocholate at 10 and 20 mmol/L increased the absorption of cefquinome in rats from 0.26 +/- 0.04micro g/mL to 0.57 +/- 0.03micro g/mL, 0.78 +/- 0.07micro g/mL respectively. These results indicated that sodium taurocholate could increase the intestinal permeability in a concentration-dependent mode, which will be useful for clinical treatment
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To study the distributive properties and susceptibility of yeasts to six antifungal agents. METHODS To analyze the distributive properties of 264 clinical Candida spp isolates and study the susceptibility to amphotericin B,nystatin,fluconazole,ketoconazole,miconazole and clotrimazole.The susceptibility of yeasts was tested according to the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards guideline(NCCLS M27-A2). RESULTS Strains of Candida albicans were the most frequent organism isolated accounted for 62.5% of all the isolates.C.tropicalis,C.glabrata,and C.parapsilosis accounted for 20.8%,12.5%,and 1.9%,the others accounted for only 2.3%.The main infected organs were lungs,urinary tract,and digestive tract;the susceptibility tests showed strains of Candida spp to nystatin,amphotericin B,and fluconazole were more active than to the other antifungal agents.The resistance to triazole antifugal agents could be shown. CONCLUSIONS We should strengthen the diagnosis of Candida spp and strengthen the surveillance on susceptibility of clinical isolates Candida spp so as to help the doctors choose the antifungal agents reasonably.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Quantitative pharmaco-electroencephalography (QPEEG) can reflect cerebral cortical function, which can be certainly affected by general anesthetics. Anesthesia depth has good correlation with the anesthetic dosage, so if we can find out the areas of brain and band of QPEEG which is relative to the anesthetic dosage, the band may be taken as the index to reflect the depth of anesthesia. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of propofol on the alpha2-band (α2- band) of QPEEG in rabbits. DESIGN: A randomized control animal experiment. SETTING: Jiangsu Provincial Key Laboratory of Anesthesiology, Xuzhou Medical College. MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the animal laboratory of Xuzhou Medical College from October 2004 to August 2005. Thirtysix healthy adult rabbits were randomly divided into propofol 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg groups with 12 rabbits in each, including 6 were used to observe the change of percentage of each band power of QPEEG, and the other 6 were used to observe the latency and duration for the disappearance of righting reflex in the rabbits. METHODS: The experiment was performed between 14:00-17:00 every day. Rabbits in the three groups were treated with intravenous injection of propofol of 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg respectively within 30 seconds. ① The conscious rabbits were fixed onto the platform in a prone osition, and the QPEEG was recorded with the method of power spectrum analysis before administration and at 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 and 110 s and 2, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 minutes after administration respectively. The sampling time for each time point was 5 s. ② The latency and duration for the disappearance of righting reflex in the rabbits were recorded. RESULTS: ll the 36 rabbits were involved in the analysis of esults. ① After the intravenous injection of propofol, the righting reflexes all disappeared within 1 minute. The greater the dosage, the shorter the latency and the longer the duration r=0.79, P ＜ 0.01). ② Compared with before administration, propofol of 2.5 mg/kg had no obvious influence on the percentage of α2-band power (P ＞ 0.05); The percentages of α2-band power in the brain areas were increased after administration in the propofol 5 mg/kg group (P ＜ 0.05); Except that there were no significant differences in the left and right parietal regions between the propofol 10 mg/kg group and the propofol 5 mg/kg group, the percentages of α2-band power in the other brain areas in the propofol 10 mg/kg group were decreased as compared with those before administration and those in the other two groups (P ＜ 0.05), and the changes above were more obvious in the frontal and temporal regions.CONCLUSION: The influence of propofol on the percentage of α2-band power of QPEEG is biphasic, it is suggested that α2-band would be an index to reflect the anesthesia depth of propofol.
ABSTRACT
The biological effects of Songzike acidic polysaccharide (ST90) were studied in vivo and vitro. It was found that ST90 had distinct antineoplastic, antibacterial and antiviral effects.I markedly inhibits proliferation of S180 solid tumor in mice and reduces the mortality of mice infected by Salmonella typhimurium, and shows a protective effect on FL cells infected with adva、adv7, vsv and CB4.
