Microbial Burden of Some Herbal Antimalarials Marketed at Elele, Rivers State

Herbal antimalarials still remain an alternative to our traditional communities who can not afford orthodox antimalarials. This study was aimed at investigating the microbial quality of six herbal antimalarials using standard microbiological methods. Of the six preparations analyzed, “schnapps”, palm wine and water were the media of preparation; the water base preparations recorded higher microbial load. The mean microbial load was 159.5×10⁵ cfu/ml and 217.4×10²cfu/ml in water and alcohol base preparations respectively. The microbial profile of the preparations showed that the schnapps base preparations were predominantly contaminated with Bacillus sp (Aerobic spore bearers) and Mucor spp. The palm wine preparation harboured Bacillus sp, yeasts and Mucor spp while the water base preparations had several isolates such as Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli 0157H7, Proteus mirabilis, Enterococcus feacalis, Serratia marcensces, Staph. aureus, Bacillus spp and Mucor spp. Conclusively, this study underlines the public health importance of these preparations given the high burden of such human pathogen as Ecoli O157H7, Ps aeruginosa, Stahp aureus, etc. in the preparations.     

艾滋病并发口腔白色念珠菌病和带状疱疹1例

1 临床资料患者,女,65岁,山西运城人,于1 a前开始出现口腔糜烂,糜烂面有白色斑片,可擦除,伴口咽疼痛. 因1985-01/1995-01在当地多次卖血(单采血浆),疑为人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染而行HIV 抗体检测,初筛试验为强阳性. 为求进一步诊治收入唐都医院全军感染病诊疗中心. 体格检查:T 36.4℃,P 120次/min,BP 12.5/7 kPa,消瘦,口腔内壁和舌面大面积糜烂,颊黏膜、舌背黏膜及咽后壁可见白色伪膜,边界尚清楚,擦去可见充血创面,触痛明显.     

颈外动脉栓塞用顺铂白蛋白微球的研究

用乳化化学交联法制备出适合于颌面部鳞癌殒外动脉栓塞用顺铂白蛋白微球;外观呈黄色粉末状,收率80±5%,显微观察呈圆球体,平场粒径56.3μm:药物含量为14.02～14.2%,包封率97.08～97.95%。对其体外释药、灭菌、稳定性及分散溶媒的处方进行了探讨。通过动物实验表明该微球可以达到理想的栓塞效果,并保证能在局部组织停留,有利于提高抗癌药物的疗效,降低毒副作用。     

抗心肌缺血药2,6-二甲基-4-双取代苯基-1,4-二氢吡啶-3,5-二羧酸酯的合成

本文报道了9个新的2,6-二甲基-4-双取代苯基-1,4-二氢吡淀-3,5-二羧酸酯的合成。初步药理试验表明:化合物I₆具有较强的抑制KCl诱发兔主动脉条的收缩作用,增加冠脉血流量和心输出量,降低心肌耗氧量;增强小鼠抗缺氧能力;对大鼠心肌缺血有保护作用;能缩小兔缺血心肌再灌流引起的心肌梗塞范围。     

海南粗榧新碱衍生物 HH07A 对 DNA 聚合酶 I 活性的影响

用体外DNA聚合酶I作用下DNA合成的方法,研究HH07A的作用机制。结果表明,HH07A对DNA聚合酶I催化下的DNA合成有明显抑制作用,且在一定浓度范围内存在浓度依赖性。将药物与DNA模板及DNA聚合酶I分别预保温后,发现DNA模板活性无明显改变,而酶的活性则受到显著抑制。提示HH07A对DNA聚合酶I催化下DNA合成的抑制是通过HH07A与DNA聚合酶I直接作用而实现的。

Neutron- and photon-activation detection limits in breast milk analysis for prospective dose evaluation of the suckling infant

Complex situations related to the environment, as in the regions affected by the Chernobyl accident and regions in which nuclear weapons testing were undertaken, as in Semipalatinsk, could be reflected in the trace element content in mothers' milk. The evaluation of fractional transfer to milk of ingested or inhaled activity and of the corresponding dose coefficients for the infant, following a mothers' radioactive intake, can take advantage from wide-ranging studies of elemental and radionuclide contents in mothers' milk. In this work the possibility to determine elements, such as Ru, Zr, Nb, Te, Ce, Th, U, in milk powder has been investigated. Although results from elemental analyses of breast milk are to be found in the literature, the determination of the identified elements has attracted poor attention since they are not considered essential elements from a biological point of view. Nevertheless, in the case of radioactive releases to the environment, such data could be of interest in evaluation of dose to the breast-fed infant.
