ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the incidence of enteric pathogens causing acute gastroenteritis (AGE) among children to measure the incidence of coinfections,and to compare the clinical characteristics of those infected with one versus multiple agents.Methods A retrospective study was conducted from January 2014 to December 2014.All patients between 1 month and 14 years of age admitted to the Pediatric department with a diagnosis of AGE were eligible for enrollment.Two stool samples for each patient were tested for gastrointestinal pathogens.We summarized the clinical severity of episodes,describing the duration of diarrhea,duration and frequency of vomiting,fever.All patients underwent medical evaluation with estimation of dehydration.Results One or more etiological agents were detected in 3595 out of 4728 patients(76.0％),while we did not detect any etiological agent in 1133 (24.0％).Rotavirus was detected in 1889 (40.0％),adenovirus in 412 (8.7 ％),norovirus in 309 (6.5 ％),verotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) in 274 (5.8 ％),Salmonella spp.in 276(5.8％),Klebsiella pneumoniae in 123 (2.6％),Shigella spp.in 78 (1.6％),Staphylococcus aureus in 70 (1.5％),C.perfringens in 126(2.7％).In 1370 children out of 4728(29.0％),we found evidence of coinfection.with rotavirus and norovirus was the most common 150 (3.2％),rotavirus and C.perfringens was also common 127(2.7％).Children with coinfection had a more severe clinical presentation.The difference has statistical significance.Conclusion Rotavirus is still the most common pathogen in children with acute diarrhea,followed by NV,adenovirus,Salmonella spp.and VTEC.Rotavirus with norovirus infection was the most common.VTEC combined with three kinds of virus infection had the highest incidence.Children with multiple viral infections were more severe than those of single virus infection in the duration of vomiting and dehydration.There was no significant difference in the duration of fever and diarrhea and the frequency of diarrhea.Children infected by viruses and bacteria had a more severe clinical presentation such as fever,vomiting and diarrhea lasting for a long time,more serious diarrhea and dehydration than those with single bacteria and single virus infection.The difference has no significant difference in degree and duration of diarrhea.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of early drinking on keeping safety and improving comfort of mouth cavity in postoperative patients with transsphenoidal resection of pituitary adenoma. Methods A total of 70 postoperative patients with transsphenoidal resection of pituitary adenoma were divided into the experimental group and the control group with 35 cases each by random number table method. The control group were allowed to drink water after postoperative 6 hours, the experimental group were allowed to drink a small amount of water after 1 h when they recovered from anesthesia. The symptoms of heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, pulse oxygen saturation, nausea, vomiting, mis- aspiration, dry mouth,thirst, sore throat, oral pH value, oral cavity peculiar smell and the mood were observed 6 h after operation. Results After 6 hours, the heart rate, respiration, systolic blood pressure, and pulse oxygen saturation in the two groups were within normal range, which were (79.14±7.82) times per minute vs. (82.29±13.48) times per minute, (17.71± 1.10) times per minute vs. (18.31±1.92) times per minute, (121.66±10.61) mmHg vs.(121.55±12.86) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (17.71±1.10) times per minute, (0.99±0.01) % vs. (0.99±0.01) %,there was no significant differences( t=-1.603-0.673, P > 0.05). The value of diastolic blood pressure in the control group were lower than that of the experimental group,(70.14±6.87) mmHg vs.( 74.34±7.29) mmHg, there was significant difference ( t=2.497, P 0.05). The rate of dry mouth,thirst in the experimental group were lower than those of the control group, 2.71±1.74 vs. 7.03± 1.98, 1.77±1.68 vs. 5.06±2.35, the difference was statistically significant (t=-9.685, -6.725, P 0.05). There was difference in oral pH value(6.82±0.17 vs. 6.43±0.25, t=0.815, P < 0.01) between the experimental group and the control group. The rates of oral cavity peculiar smell and the mood in the experimental group were 8.57% (3/35) and 28.57% (10/35), which were better than those of the control group, 82.85% (29/35), 45.71%(16/35), the difference were significant (χ2=4.629, 10.516, P < 0.05). Conclusions Early drinking in postoperative patients with transsphenoidal resection of pituitary adenoma is secure and it can relieve uncomfortable symptoms, maintain normal oral pH value, improve comfort of mouth cavity and keep good mood of patients.
ABSTRACT
The chemical constituents from Aconitum richardsonianum var.pseudosessiliflorum were investigated.The roots of this plant were extracted three times with 90% EtOH at the room temperature.The ethanol extracts were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield residue,which was suspended in water and successively partitioned with chloroform.The chloroform extraction was isolated and purified by silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography.Six compounds were isolated and elucidated as delelatine（1）,isodelpheline（2）,3-acetylaconitine（3）,isoatisine（4）,nordhagenine A（5）and yunaconitine（6）.Compounds 1-5 were obtained from Aconitum Brunneum for the first time.Compound（1）showed significant cytotoxic activities（IC50=4.36 μM）against the human tumor cell line P388.

ABSTRACT
To investigate the chemical constituents of the roots of Aconitum taipaicum, silica gel column chromatography was used for the isolation and purification of compounds. A new norditerpenoid alkaloid, isodelelatine (1), along with five known alkaloids, atisine (2), delfissinol (3), liangshanine(4), hypaconitine (5) and delelatine (6) were isolated and identified. The structure of the new compound was elucidated on the basis of spectral data.
