ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the differences of chemical components between single decoction and mixed decoction with different compatibility ratio of Inulae Flos- Haematitum medicinal pair. Methods:UPLC method was used to determine the contents of 5-caffeoylquinic acid, chlorogenic acid, 4-dicaffeoylquinic acid, caffeic acid, isoquercitrin, isochlorogenic acid B, 1,5- dicaffeoyl quinic acid, isochlorogenic acid C and the fingerprints of the single decoctions and mixed decoctions of Inulae Flos- Haematitum medicinal pair in four groups of proportions. The "peak area/sample weight" value of each common peak in the fingerprints was calculated, and the SPSS 26.0 was used for independent-sample t-test analysis. Results:There are significant differences in the "peak area/weight" values of peak 1, peak 2, peak 4, peak 6 , peak 9, peak 10, peak 12, peak 13, peak 15 between mixed decoction and single decoction of Inulae Flos - Haematitum medicinal pair with different compatibility ratios ( P<0.05), with statistical significance; when the compatibility ratio of Inulae Flos- Haematitum medicinal pair was 3:1, the difference of fingerprints and index components content between single decoction and combined decoction was the largest. Except for peak 7 and peak 14, the difference of "peak area/sample weight" value of other characteristic peaks was statistically significant ( P<0.05), and the content difference of 8 index components was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:There are differences in the chemical components of Inulae Flos - Haematitum medicinal pair for single decoction and mixed decoction.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the situations of AIDS related knowledge, sexual behavior with various partners among HIV positive patients in Shenzhen before highly active anti-retroviral therapy, and to provide evidences for health education intervention.@*Methods@#Questionnaire survey and information collection were carried out among HIV positive patients, under the informed consent, during the first physical examination before highly active anti-retroviral therapy.@*Results@#The overall awareness rate of AIDS knowledge was 91%, 94.46% and 80.95% respectively for homosexual and heterosexual populations, with significant difference between the two groups (χ2=21.254, P<0.001). In addition, there were significant differences in the factors related to education, income, route of infection, marital status, residence and other related factors (P<0.05). In HIV positive MSM, primary sexual behavior occurred mainly at the age of less than 30 (96.8%) and in university or earlier stage (58.3%), college students as the first sexual partner accounted for 44.9%, and once used Rush accounted for 42.7%. There were significant differences in the number of temporary sexual partners and condom use frequency between homosexual and heterosexual subjects (P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#Individuals infected with HIV via different routes are variant on AIDS cognition. Health education on AIDS related knowledge and sexual security before and after antiviral treatment can not only improve the awareness rate of HIV/AIDS infection, but also can reduce the risk of the spread of HIV/AIDS.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the bacterial distribution and antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacteria in elderly patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) so as to provide evidence for rational use of antibiotics. Methods The clinical data of 160 elderly patients with HAP in our hospital from June 2006 to September 2009 were analyzed retrospectively. And the pathogenic characteristics and antibiotic resistance were analyzed. Results A total of 180 pathogenic bacteria were separated: 108 Gram-negative bacteria (60.0%), 48 Gram-positive bacteria (26.7%) and 24 fungi (13.3%). In Gram-negative bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the major pathogen (20.5%), and Staphylococcus aureus was the most prominent in Gram-positive bacteria (11.1%).The detection rate of fungi was increased in patients with long-term use of antibiotics and broadspectrum antibiotics. The Gram-negative bacilli was resistant to third-generation cephalosporin, and extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia were resistant to penicillin, penicillin + enzyme inhibitor, cephalosporin and monobactam antibiotics. The drug resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was severe, but it was still sensitive to Ceftazidime. Gramnegative bacteria showed high sensitivities to Amikacin, Piperacillin + Tazobactam, Cefoperazone +Sulbactam, Imipenem and Meropenem. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) occupied 92.6% of Staphylococcal aureus. The resistance rates of Gram-positive bacteria to Azithromycin,Ciprofloxacin, Oxacillin, Ampicillin + Sulbactam were all higher than 76%, but Gram-positive bacteria showed high sensitivities to Vancomycin, Linezolid and Teicoplanin. The staphylococcal strains that were resistant to Vancomycin, Linezolid and Teicoplanin were not found. Conclusions The major pathogen of HAP in elderly patients is Gram-negative bacilli. The detection rate of ESBLs producing Escherichia coil and Klebsiella pneumonia increases annually, and the drug resistances to the above bacteria is becoming more and more serious. But they are still highly sensitive to Amikacin,Piperacillin+ Tazobactam, Cefoperazone+ Sulbactam, Imipenem and Meropenem. The appropriate antibiotics for Gram-positive bacterial infections are Vancomycin, Linezolid and Teicoplanin.
