ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder (SF-PEG) and Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4) on intestinal tract preparation in patients with constipation. Methods 135 cases of constipation patients who underwent colonoscopy were selected. They were divided into A, B and C groups, each with 45 cases.Group A and group B received oral SF-PEG and 219.2 g (2 000 ml) at 5:00 to 7:00. Group A take 50% MgSO450 ml at 9:00, and then took 250 ml warm water.Group B received the same dose of MgSO4 at 7:00. The two groups were examined by colonoscopy at 11:00. Group C received oral compound SF-PEG 219.2 g (2 000 ml) at 10:00 to 12:00, and then took 50% MgSO450 ml at 14:00, received colonoscopy at 16:00. According to the Boston bowel preparation scale (BBPS) score and parallel intraluminal bubble score. Determine the duration of bowel preparation process,and tolerance and adverse effects were recorded during bowel preparation. Results All patients completed bowel preparation and underwent a colonoscopy successfully. The scores of group A in BBPS were significantly higher than those in group B and group C (P < 0.05). In group A and group B, the score of parallel intraluminal bubble was lower than C, which was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The intestinal preparation time of A and B was less than that of group C, which was statistically significant (P < 0.05), and the tolerance of patients was higher in group A and group B than that in group C (P < 0.05). In adverse reactions, group A and group B were lower than those in group C (P < 0.05). Conclusions When taking the time (5:00 to 7:00), intermittent polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder and Magnesium Sulfate can shorten the bowel preparation time and improve the quality of bowel preparation in patients with constipation.
ABSTRACT
Growth patterns of trichome and contaminative bacteria in Spirulina sp. liquid culture were observed, and it was found that the number of neutral and alkalophilic bacteria was always 105～106 times of that of Spirulina sp. trichome. It would be very difficult to get real pure Spirulina sp. strain by classical methods of dilution plate, capillary and single trichome selecting methods. A great deal of contaminative bacteria was washed out by two pretreatment processes. Low speed centrifugation was designed to wash the strains which usually deposit at bottom, and filtration method was designed to treat the strains usually floating at surface. Sandwich plate and dilution plate were designed for the purification of the mobile strains and non-mobile strains, respectively. A lot of strains were purified by the above processes and pure single trichome formed pure colonies on plates.
