Objective To study the application of cervical vertebral artery CT angiography(CTA) preoperatively in the screw setting of upper cervical spine.Methods The data of 170 patients who underwent upper cervical spine surgery from January 2014 to December 2015 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed,of whom 80 cases with typeⅡodontoid fractures,90 cases with atlantoaxial dislocation;20 cases were operated with occipitocervical fusion,150 cases treated with atlantoaxial fusion.Seventy-eight cases were examinated by cervical vertebral artery CTA before sugery(observation group) but the other 92 cases(control group).The rate of the vertebral arterial lesion between the two groups were compared.Results Six cases with vertebral artery injury in control group,the incidence of arterial injury was 7％;unilateral vertebral artery was found in 3 cases,small congenital development of left cervical vertebral artery in 5 case,abnormal branch in 5 cases.The rate of dysplasia was 17％,and the rate of vertebral artery injury was 0.The rate of vertebral artery injury in control group was higher than observation group,the difference was significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Vertebral artery CTA examination preoperatively may become a routine examination,in order to make the operator carefully evaluate the relationship between the vertebral artery with atlantoaxial vertebral,choose the accurate screw-setting and avoid the vertebral artery injury in the upper cervical spine surgery.

Review and Analysis of Pediatric Outpatient Antiviral Prescriptions in Our Hospital / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for promoting prescription standard and rational use of antiviral drugs. METH-ODS:A total of 1 600 antiviral prescriptions were randomly screened from pediatric outpatient department of our hospital during Jan. to Aug. 2014. Selected prescriptions were reviewed and analyzed according to national regulations and hospital regulations. RE-SULTS:Among 1 600 prescriptions,there were 244 irrational prescriptions(15.25%). The number and constituent ratio of irratio-nal prescriptions were as follows:127 prescriptions of non-standard writing(52.05%),105 of unsuitable drug use(43.03%)and 12 supernormal prescriptions(4.92%). After prescription evaluation,the percentage of irrational prescriptions were decreased from 21%(Jan. 2014) to 11%(Aug. 2014). CONCLUSIONS:Prescription review can promote qualification rate of pediatric antiviral prescriptions,and improve rationality of clinical drug use. It is necessary to improve rational use of antiviral drugs continuously due to unsatisfactory qualification rate.

Antiviral activity research of artesunate against human cytomegalovirus by fractionation dosage method in vitro / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Objective To research the antiviral activity of artesunate (ART) in vitro fighting against both standard laboratory strains and ganciclovir(GCV)-resistance strains of human cytomegalovims(HCMV) and to explore whether fractionation dosage method can obviously enhance the antiviral effect of ART.Methods 1.Cytotoxicity assay to ART was performed by the use of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) colorimetry.The 0％ toxic concentration (TC0) were determined,and median cytotoxic concentration (TC50) was calculated with Probit regression method.2.Antiviral activity assays of ART against HCMV:human embryonic lung fibroblast cells (HELs) were infected with standard laboratory strains and GCV-resistance strains of HCMV,respectively,after which virus was removed and overlays of dulbecco's modified eagle medium(MEM) containing different antiviral drugs were added to the wells.All cells were cultured continuously at 37 ℃ in a 50 mL/L CO2 humidified atmosphere for 7-10 days and the cytopathic effect (CPE) was observed under a microscope.When the degree of CPE was clear (+ + +-+ + + +),the values of absorbency at 490 nm of all cell wells were measured by MTT colorimetry.The cell survival rate (CSR)and drug inhibitory rate (IR) for HCMV were calculated.By Probit regression method,the median inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 2 drugs was calculated respectively.3.To explore whether fractionation dosage method could obviously enhance the antiviral effect of ART against HCMV,the experiment was divided into 3 groups and compared with GCV group,respectively:Group 1:ART antiviral compounds were added to cell layers by one dosage.Group 2:Total drug dosage was divided into 3 parts,and each part was added to cell layers once a day for 3 days.Group 3:Total antiviral compounds were divided into 6 and delivery 2 times a day.The values of absorbency at 490 nm of all cell wells were measured by MTT colorimetry.The CSR and viral inhibitory rates were calculated.All data were statistically analyzed by One-Way ANOVA analyzing using SPSS 18.0 statistical software.P value of ＜0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance.Results 1.Cytotoxicity assay showed that cytotoxicity was not found in the relevant range of ART concentrations under 62.5 μmol/L.TC0 and TC50 value of ART were 62.5 μmol/L and 171.7 μmol/L.2.In concentration of 5 μmol/L,15 μmol/L and 30 μmol/L,ART and GCV could obviously inhibit growth of HCMV AD169 strains.There was no significant difference between them.The value of GCV IC50 was 3.49μmol/L,and the value of ART IC50 was 2.17 μmol/L.Treatment index (TI) of ART was 28.8,and GCV was 716.3.ART could still obviously inhibit growth of HCMV resistant strains,but GCV couldn't.Differences between them were statistically significant.The value of GCV IC50 to HCMV resistant strains was 44.4 μmol/L,and the value of ART IC50 was 2.5 μmol/L.3.Fractionation dosage method (2 times a day) of ART could improve the inhibition rate of virus significantly compared to that used once a day and single dose method.Difference was statistically significant(P ＜ 0.01).GCV delivered as the same method had little different changes in virus suppression ratio(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions 1.Cytotoxicity was not found in the relevant range of ART concentrations under 62.5 μmol/L.2.ART could obviously inhibit growth of HCMV resistant strains and standard laboratory strains.3.Fractionation dosage method (2 times a day) of ART could improve the inhibition rate of virus significantly compared to that used once a day and single dose method.4.Because the action mode of ART is different from other anti-HCMV drugs,and ART has a high biological activity and fewer side effects,it is expected to become a kind of new antiviral drugs for HCMV infections.
