ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of Qianjin Weijing Decoction in the treatment of severe pneumonia with the accumulation of phlegm and heat in the lung. Methods:Eighty patients with severe pneumonia with the accumulation of phlegm and heat in the lung received treatment in Wenzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from December 2018 to December 2020. They were randomly allocated to undergo routine treatments (control group, n = 40) or routine treatments combined with Qianjin Weijing Decoction (observation group, n = 40) for 7 days. Clinical efficacy, blood gas analysis, oxygenation index, inflammatory factors (C-reactive protein and procalcitonin), and sequential organ failure score were compared between the two groups. Results:Total response rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [87.50% (35/40) vs. 65.00% (26/40), χ2 = 5.59, P < 0.05]. Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2) post-treatment was significantly lower in the observation group than that in the control group [(30.24 ± 2.68) mmHg vs. (39.95 ± 3.27) mmHg, t = 14.52, P < 0.05]. The partial pressure of blood oxygen (PaO 2) and oxygenation index (PaO 2/FiO 2) in the observation group were (76.85 ± 4.56) mmHg and (326.84 ± 8.49) mmHg, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group [(68.39 ± 4.12) mmHg, (284.16 ± 15.56) mmHg, t = -8.70, -15.22, both P < 0.05). Serum levels of C-reactive protein and procalcitonin post-treatment in the observation group were (23.12 ± 6.56) mg/L and (0.31 ± 0.08) μg/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(38.92 ± 5.62) mg/L, (0.78 ± 0.20) μg/L, t = 11.56, 13.80, both P < 0.05]. Sequential organ failure score was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group [(2.31 ± 0.46) points vs. (5.12 ± 1.25) points, t = 13.34, P < 0.05)]. Conclusion:Qianjin Weijing Decoction has a good therapeutic effect on severe pneumonia with the accumulation of phlegm and heat in the lung. The treatment can improve blood gas analysis and decrease inflammatory factor levels with a good prognosis.
ABSTRACT
The key technology of the device for the viviperception of the animal mesenteric microcirculation is to simulate the celiac environment in the device. The technical requirements of the device for microcirculation viviperception are that the observation box should be able to "keep warm, preserve moisture, continually perfuse, and fix the sample"; and the lighting should be "intense", "convergence", and "cool". After actual application, it was found that the newly designed and developed the device by research personnel of Wannan Medical College for the viviperception of the animal mesenteric microcirculation can meet the technical requirements, which is able to "keep warm, preserve moisture, continually perfuse, and fix the sample", and using LED lamp as the microscope light source is "intense", "convergence", and "cool". This device is ingenious and reasonable in design, stable in technology, convenient in operation, and competent in microcirculation viviperception. It solves the technical problem to simulate the celiac environment for mesenteric microcirculation viviperception. The device provides convenience to observe and study the microcirculation, which is worth to be applicated widely.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Cel replacement therapy as an effective strategy for reconstruction of the central nervous system has very broad application prospects. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of stereotactic transplantation of neural stem cels into the brain on the neuromotor function of craniocerebral trauma rats. METHODS:Twenty male Sprague-Dawley rats were equivalently randomized into study and control groups. Animal models of craniocerebral trauma were made using the improved free-fal method in the rats. Then, model rats in the study and control groups were given parenchymal transplantation of embryonic neural stem cels and the same volume of culture medium with no stem cels at 1 day after injury, respectively. Neuromotor function of rats was assessed based on the neurological severity scores. At 2 weeks after transplantation, brain tissues were taken for hematoxylin-eosin staining, anti-BrdU, glial fibrilary acidic protein, β-tubulin III and tyrosine hydroxylase immunohistochemistry staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The neurological severity scores in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group at 1 and 2 weeks after injury (P< 0.05). In the study group, there were many BrdU-positive neural stem cels in the brain tissues, some of which were positive for glial fibrilary acidic protein, β-tubulin III and tyrosine hydroxylase; while in the control group, there was no BrdU-positive cel in the brain tissues. Experimental findings show that neural stem cels stereotacticaly transplanted into the brain can proliferate and differentiate in the brain lesion, and thereby notably improve the neuromotor function of rats with craniocerebral trauma.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the intervention effectiveness of intensive training in medical interns’occupational exposure protection.Methods Medical interns in seven colleges and universities in Wuhan between 2011 and 2015 were chosen and divided into control group (675 medical interns in 2011 - 2013,comprehensive training about healthcare-associated infection control was conducted for once before internship )and intervention group (682 medical interns in 2014 - 2015,hospital-department-tutor three steps of intensive training was conducted),the occurrence of occupational exposure and exposure knowledge awareness between two groups were compared. Results The awareness rate of knowledge about occupational exposure protection and the implementation rate of protective measures in intervention group were both higher than control group (all P <0.05).Incidence of occupa-tional exposure in intervention group was lower than control group (21 .70%[n=148]vs 65.33%[n=441 ],χ2 =262.91 ,P <0.01);percentage of interns who conducted active serological virus detection and intensified vaccination of hepatitis B virus were both higher than control group (14.66%[n=100]vs 2.96%[n=20];11 .73%[n=80]vs 2.67%[n=18],respectively).Occupational exposure before and after intervention occurred most frequently when interns were preparing medicine,occupational exposure reporting rate in intervention group was higher than control group (72.97%[108/148]vs 50.11 % [221/441 ],χ2 =52.78,P <0.01 ).Conclusion The intensive training of occupational exposure protection among medical interns can improve the awareness and skills of occupational protec-tion,and reduce the occurrence of occupational exposure.
