桦木酸对大鼠肺纤维化模型肺组织的影响＊

目的 探讨桦木酸对大鼠肺纤维化模型肺组织中NF-κB、β-arrestin2表达的影响。方法 15只SPF级雄性SD大鼠分为对照组、模型组、桦木酸组，每组5只。对照组予以单次气管内注射1 mL·kg^-1 0.9%生理盐水，模型组和桦木酸组予单次气管内快速注射5 mg·kg^-1博来霉素建立大鼠肺纤维化模型。造模1天后，对照组及模型组给予10 mL·kg^-1 1%可溶性淀粉溶液，桦木酸组给予50 mg·kg^-1的桦木酸悬浮液，持续21天。HE、Masson染色方法观察肺组织病理改变。酶联免疫吸附法（ELISA）检测肺组织匀浆IL-6的水平。免疫组化法检测肺组织中NF-κB、β-arrestin2、IκBα的表达。结果 与对照组相比，模型组肺组织匀浆中IL-6水平升高，NF-κB、β-arrestin2、IκBα蛋白表达均上调（P<0.05）。与模型组相比，桦木酸组肺组织匀浆中IL-6水平降低，肺组织中NF-κB、β-arrestin2、IκBα蛋白表达均下调（P<0.05）。结论 桦木酸可减轻肺部炎症、减慢肺纤维化的发生发展，可能与下调肺组织中NF-κB、β-arrestin2有关。     

Is routine extubation overnight safe in cardiac surgery patients?

Objectives

Expedient extubation after cardiac surgery has been associated with improved outcomes, leading to postoperative extubation frequently during overnight hours. However, recent evidence in a mixed medical-surgical intensive care unit population demonstrated worse outcomes with overnight extubation. This study investigated the impact of overnight extubation in a statewide, multicenter Society of Thoracic Surgeons database.

Two cases of Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess necessitating liver resection for effective treatment

We report two British cases of liver abscess, due to Klebsiella pneumoniae and associated with synchronous infection elsewhere, which required liver resection for definitive treatment. They illustrate the geographic spread of aggressive K pneumoniae liver infection and demonstrate the importance of early aggressive treatment.     

Oral Dispersible System: A New Approach in Drug Delivery System

Dosage form is a mean used for the delivery of drug to a living body. In order to get the desired effect the drug should be delivered to its site of action at such rate and concentration to achieve the maximum therapeutic effect and minimum adverse effect. Since oral route is still widely accepted route but having a common drawback of difficulty in swallowing of tablets and capsules. Therefore a lot of research has been done on novel drug delivery systems. This review is about oral dispersible tablets a novel approach in drug delivery systems that are now a day''s more focused in formulation world, and laid a new path that, helped the patients to build their compliance level with the therapy, also reduced the cost and ease the administration especially in case of pediatrics and geriatrics. Quick absorption, rapid onset of action and reduction in drug loss properties are the basic advantages of this dosage form.     

不同非密闭雾化治疗方式在不合作患儿中的应用效果

目的 探讨不同非密闭雾化方式在不合作患儿接受布地奈德雾化治疗中的应用效果。方法 选取本院门诊270例3岁以下使用布地奈德雾化治疗的患儿,采用随机数字表法将患儿分为Pari雾化系统、Philips雾化系统及Salter雾化系统3个治疗组,毎组90例,各组又依据面罩距离面部0 cm、2 cm、4 cm分为3个小组,毎组30例,分别测量各组雾化气流流速及吸入雾化颗粒量占总雾化颗粒量的比例。采用方差分析及Bonferroni进行统计分析。结果 雾化气流流速及雾化吸入量在不同雾化系统组间差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。在3种距离下,Pari系统均能使患儿吸入最多量的雾化颗粒,其次是Salter系统,再是Philips系统,与此相反,气流流速Pari系统最低。Pari系统离开面部4 cm及Salter系统离开面部2 cm的吸入量均高于Philips系统0 cm的吸入量。结论 选择合适的非密闭雾化系统方式,是提高不合作患儿布地奈德雾化治疗的有效方式。
