Reproducibility of corrected QT interval in pediatric genotyped long QT syndrome

Reproducibility of corrected QT interval (QTc), especially QTc after exercise, has not been thoroughly investigated. We reviewed charts of pediatric patients who underwent treadmill‐exercise stress testing without medication multiple times within 1 year. In patients with long‐QT syndrome (LQTS; n = 22), the discrepancy in QTc between two treadmill exercise stress tests using Fridericia's formula was 14 ± 12 ms at rest, 13 ± 12 ms 4 min after exercise, with a maximum of 14 ± 12 ms after exercise. There was no statistically significant difference in QTc between the two tests. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were 0.84, 0.85, and 0.85, respectively. In controls (n = 13), the discrepancy in QTc was 18 ± 12 ms at rest, 14 ± 7 ms 4 min after exercise, with a maximum of 14 ± 9 ms after exercise. There was no significant difference in QTc between the two tests. ICC were 0.78, 0.80, and 0.80, respectively. QTc calculated using Bazett's formula also showed high reproducibility. Reproducibility of QTc in children is high at rest and after exercise.     

中药配方颗粒和传统中药饮片调剂方式的应用对比分析

目的：对传统中药饮片调剂方式与中药配方颗粒调剂方式进行应用分析比较,优化调剂方法。方法统计并分析本院传统中药饮片与中药配方颗粒的使用数据(调剂出错率、处方数等),并随机抽取180例于该院就诊的患者及12名在该院从事配药的工作人员进行问卷调查,在患者选择和工作人员选择等方面对传统中药饮片调剂方式与中药配方颗粒调剂方式进行对比分析。结果与传统中药饮片调剂方式相比,中药配方颗粒调剂方式在出错率、取药方便程度、药品剂量准确度、卫生、食用方便程度、携带存储及提高工作效率、降低工作强度、减少药物浪费等方面具有显著优势（P<0.01）。结论中药配方颗粒调剂方式具有明显优势,但还存在许多不足,需要中医药工作者的不断完善与改进,发挥中医药优势。     

The Survey ofCronobacterspp. (formerlyEnterbacter sakazakii) in Infant and Follow-up Powdered Formula in China in 2012

ObjectiveTo determineCronobacterspp.contamination in infant and follow-up powdered formula in China. MethodsAll of 2282 samples were collected from theretailmarkets in China from January 2012 to December 2012, and analyzed forCronobacter spp.by theChineseNationalFood Safety Standard. Characterization of the isolates was analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) withXbaI and SpeI restriction enzymes. ResultsCronobacterspp. strains were isolated from 25 samples, and the positive rates ininfant powdered formulas and follow-up powdered formulas were 0.90% (10/1011) and 1.18% (15/1271), respectively. Analysis of variable data regarding different purchasing store formats, seasonality, and production locations as well as comparison of infant versus follow-up formulas did not reveal statistically significant factors. During the sampling period, one of six surveillance zones did exhibit a statistically significant trend towards higher positive rate. PFGE characterization ofCronobacterspp.to elucidate genetic diversity revealed only three pairs ofCronobacterspp.out of 25 having the same PFGE patterns. ConclusionThe current investigation indicated a lower positive rate ofCronobacterspp.in the powdered formula in China.This evidence suggested contamination originating from multiple different sources during the manufacturing process.

不同处方复方丹参黏附微丸黏附性能的评价

目的考察不同处方复方丹参黏附微丸的黏附性能,从而筛选出黏附性能较为合适的处方。方法以壳聚糖、羟丙基甲基纤维素K100M(HPMCK100M)、卡波姆为黏附材料,制备不同处方的复方丹参黏附微丸,并对其黏附性能进行测定。体外黏附性能的测定采用了最小剥离力法即测定黏附微丸与猪小肠的剥离力,组织残留法即测定微丸在猪小肠的滞留数。体内黏附性能的测定采用了直接灌胃法,通过测定微丸在小肠各部位的滞留数目,计算其黏附指数。结果组织残留法试验结果在相同时间内黏附材料占比40%的微丸残留数目较黏附材料占比30%的微丸多,最小剥离力法试验结果表明黏附材料占比40%的微丸其最小剥离力较大,同组织残留法结果一致。体内黏附试验显示黏附材料占比40%的微丸其黏附指数较小,但在胃中有一定的滞留。结论当黏附材料总占比一致时,各处方之间黏附性能并没有显著性差异,黏附材料增加时其黏附性能也会增加,但会增加在胃中的滞留时间,可能会破坏方中的有效成分。

Iodinated curcumin bearing dermal cream augmented drug delivery,antimicrobial and antioxidant activities

Objectives: Curcumin (Cur) exhibits weak microbicidal activity owing to high lipophilicity and low cell permeability. Therefore, in the present investigation, Cur was iodinated using elemental iodine (I₂) to synthesise Cur–I₂ powder that was later formulated as Cur–I₂ dermal cream and characterised in vitro for antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.

Methods and results: Electrophilic addition of I₂ saturated the olefinic bonds of Cur, as confirmed by UV/visible spectroscopy, FT-IR, ¹H NMR and DSC techniques. In addition, in vitro skin permeation and retention analysis indicated that Cur–I₂ cream followed the first order and Higuchi model for drug release through the rat skin. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Cur–I₂ powder was measured to be 60 and 90?µg/ml significantly (p?Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, respectively. Moreover, Cur–I₂ also exhibited strong antioxidant potential.

Conclusions: Cur–I₂ cream warrants further in vivo study to scale up the technology for clinical translation.
